BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 111. 1860.
B®*ORR TERMS, as we have published conspicu
ously foi more than six months, are $2,00 strictly in
advance, $2.25. if three months or more in arreas,
$2.50 after the close of the year. No considerate
man who wishes our and his paper to prosper, will
a-:k it tor less. It costs us more than three times as
much to print it now, than it cost our predecessor
three years ego. Paper, the chief item of expense,
cost him 825.00 a year. It is now costing us for
paper, at the rate of $1313.76 a year! Our other
expenses are happily not increased in this propor
tion. but they are more than double what they were,
at the time we speak of. These facts may be taken
as an TRUEST request for every subscriber to pa}
up his arreas. and if convenient make an advanct
payment. We need money / WE ;BE VERY MUCH I>
MEED OK MONEY ! 1 WE MUST HAVE MOISEY!!!
To OTR DISTANT SUBSCRIBERS. —Our subscribers
out of the County and State are requested to remit
tbe amount of their subscriptions, $2.2-5, if more
than three months in arrears.
AN APPRENTICE to learn the art of Printing, will
be received in this office. Application should be
made immediately.
THE Bill allowing Soldiers to vote at the election
to be held on the 17th of March inst., in the couu
ties of Bedford, Fulton and Somerset has passed
finally and become a law. We shall publish a copy
of the bill nextw'eek.
THE attention of our readers is particularly called
to the advertisement of J. H. Sehell in to days pa
per. Samples of the articles manufactured by the
agency of the Evaporator and Mill have been furn
ished us and we pronounce them to he much supe
rior in excellence to many of the articles of a similar
kind that we have examined. The syrup deserves
all the encomiums passed upon it. Read the adver
tisement.
HOME ON FURLOUGH. —Lieut. R. W. COOK, Sergts.
WM. T. FILLER, and WM. LINE, and private JOHN
COOK, of Company "E," 138 th Penn'a. Vols, are on
a visit to their friends. They all look well, even
the latter who has just returned from Libby where
the fare has not been equal to the "grub" at the
Continental or St. Nicholas. They all appear quite
sanguine that the war will be brought to a speedy
close. Lieut. Cook was injured some weeks ago by
a fall of his horse from which he has not fully re
covered. however he will be fit for service in a few
days.
A YOUNG lady, an orphan, living and teaching
school in Huntingdon county, a year ago received a
letter from Virginia, that her brother, who was a
soldier in the Union army, had been killed in battle.
She hastened to the South, secured his remains, had
them brougot home and buried. Ever since alone
in the world and sadness, she has mourned her
dead kinsman. A week ago she received a letter
from Andersonville, from her brother, who is alive
and a prisoner. Such is the romance and the real
ity of war.
IMPORTANT TO LANDLOP,DS. —The stamps required
on landlord's and tenant's agreements are not '"fifty
cents" as formerly, but are materially changed by
the last act of Congress as follows :
"Lease, agreement, memorandums or contract for
the hire, use or rent of any land, tenement, or por
tion thereof, where the rent or rental value is three
hundred dollars per annum, or less, fifty cents ;
where the rent or rental value exceeds the sum of
three hundred dollars per annum for each addition
al two hundred dollars, or fractional part thereof in
excess of three hundred dollars, fifty cents." All
agreements, leases, 4c.. not stamped in conformity
with said act are void.
THE NEW JURY BILL. —The new Jury bill before
the State Legislature is likely to fail. The Harris
burg correspondent of the Norristown Herald in
speaking of the measure says :
"I listened last night to a debate in the Senate on
the Jury bill, prepared by Mr. Householder, which
came up for first reading. Of its provisions your
readers have already been informed, the chief fea
ture being the election of two commissioners in each
county to prepare the uauies to be placed in the ju
ry wheel. The manner of choosing was to be simi
lar to that of Inspectors of Elections. Mr. House
holder desired a fair discussion of the bill and asked
that a day be appointed when it could be considered
a special order. lam pained to say that this most
reasonable, and most just request, was
treated with contempt by a majority of the Senate.
Upon a motion made by Senator Clymer, (I think)
to postpone the matter until the Fourth of July ! it
was agreed to by a vote of 19 to 10. Comment is
unnecessary here. The people will make them
selves heard soon on this question, and undeceive
certain gentlemen who stated in the debate that there
was no complaint —"not a whisper" — from any
quarter. The House hill has also beeu negatively
reported by the Committee.
HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP RAILROAD. —During
the year 1864 the Bedford Railroad, with all its fran
chises. was purchased by and consolidated with the
Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad and Coal Com
pany at a cost of $70,000, whereby the line was ex
tended from the Pennsylvania Railroad at Hunting
don to the town of Bedford. This movement, says
the Philadelphia Gazette , derives importance from
the incorporation of the Southern Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and the certainty that the line
of that work will forthwith be put under contract
and bnilt from Bedford to.Connellsville, and so tbe
route from Huntingdon to Pittsburg, via Broad Top
Bedford and Connellsville, may be run as a through
line the moment that the new link shall have been
completed. By this arrangement the western divi
sion of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad will be
rendered available and lucrative as soon as built,
without waiting for the building of the eastern di
vision.
This connection will largely enhance the value and
importance of the Broad Top Railroad. At present
its trade is limited by the difficulty of obtaining trans
portation for its coal, to obviate which six hundred
new eight-wheeled cars have been ordered by the
Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads for the Broad
1 op* coal trade to Port Richmond, and the Broad
lop Company is to increase its motive power and
facilities in proportion. Fifty cars are also being
built for the canal coal trade east from Huntingdon,
and the enlargementof the canal, which is now in
progress, will befinished by the spring of 1866. The
iron mines along the line of the Broad Top road
have been opened, sidings built for the shipment of
ore, and many improvements made at the Broad Top
coal jnines. Altogether the prospect* of this work
see® vary fair.
