M. for this boro., to take ef fect after the expiration of Mr. Riser's terra. Some years ago Mr. Loyer was P. M. in this place, and his admirable manner, of doing the business then, his promptness, system and courtesy, have been re membered now, PS a vacancy was about to occur.— Mr. Riser retires after four years service, with the kindest feelings of his fellow townsmen towards him. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. —On Tuesday afternoon last, about three o'clock, the house of Major Talliaferro, one of the handsomest in town, caught tire on the roof from a burning chimney. The roof and the upper story was destroyed; nearly all of the furni ture was saved, some of it considerably the worse for hard usage. The Major's library on the second floor, consisting of quite a large collection of valua ble books, was entirely destroyed. Also most of his private papers, and several files of newspapers were burned. Probably the house might have been saved with very little damage, if our fire engines had been brought to play within the compass, say of a little less than half an hour ;—more than an hour passed before they were at work. Unusual regret was felt by every body at the loss sustained by our veteran soldier, and it heart felt sympathy were a sufficient compensation, then he has already been fully paid for the damages he has suffered. There was no insurance. CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS. —The following are the appointments made for the Juniata District: T. BARNHART, Presiding Elder. Hollidaysburg—T. Daugherty. Altoona —W. R. Mills.

A correspondent of the Harrisburg Telegraph, wri ting from Altoona, the 16th inst., gives account of a series of robberies which occurred there, and the ar rest of the perpetrators. He says : For the last three months or more, there has been a considerable quantity of goods missing out of the through freight trains of the Pennsylvania railroad. For want of room in the yard the trains are frequently left at the lower end of the town until the passenger trains pass —perhaps three or four hours, and at times longer. It was at first thought that the goods were taken by employees on the trains, but a few days ago suspi cion fell on a young man by the name of Bishop Cousin, as he and his wife offered some goods for sale. An officer was sent in the morning to arrest him and his wife, but he made his escape without hat or coat. His wife was arrested, also a brother in-law by the name of Hawk, at whose house a dray load of goods were found. (Cousin and Hawk are married to sisters of the Burkholder family.) Last night a secret guard was placed around the house of Mr. Burket, at which place it was thought that Cous in had concealed himself. About 10 or 11 o'clock he came out at the back door, when he made good use of his legs in jumping fences arid running, but was finally arrested under a bed in a nerro shanty. This morning he was brought before Esquire Humes, and thfcre turned State's evidence. He said that they had not fohnd the "big pile" Vet—that they should go to his father-in-law's farm, about four miles below town, and look among the hay in the barn. With this information the officer fetarted, with a good force of deputies, and three or four carriagfis to bring the goods. On arriving at the place the whole femUy of Burkholders were ar rested, and then search was made for goods, which were found in various places—in the hay, potatoe pile, pig pen, corn-crib and even in the bee-hives, and every conceivable place, until they got enough to fill a large wagon. ;. They compelled Mr. Burk holder to hitch up his team and bring the goods to town. The goods found thus far will amount to $3, 000 or $4,000. The whole family is now under bail to appear at court. Mr. Burkhokler denies knowing anything about the goods or how thev got into his bam. It is supposed that more goods will be found and oth er arrests made. A Card. The undersigned with full, and most grateful hearts take this method of tendering their long to be cher ished thanks to their fellow citizens of Bedford, male and female, for their Herculean efforts to save their valuable property from entire destruction by fire on the 14th inst. Stout hearts and strong arms performed all they could for the old soldier and his family, iu their old age. Sympathy is not, aud was not wanting in this our great temporal trial and loss, but God wul provide. Mas. E. D. TALLIAEERRO, LAW. TALUAEERRO, Major U. S. A. We regret to say there was no insurance on the valuable property above referred to. EDITOR.
