FSEDFFLTD INQUIRE*.
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAT, MAT 12, 1865.
RELIGIOUS NOTICE. —The Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper will be administered in the
Lutheran Church, in Bedford, on Sunday
morning, May the 14th, at half-past ten
o'clock. Preparatory services on Saturday
afternoon at-2 o'clock.
Persons handing in advertisements
will be charged with them, unless otherwise
directed. Professional gentlemen handing in
Auditor's Notices will be charged with them,
and in no instance will we depart from this
rule. When they collect their own fees they
must also collect printers' fees, or do as we
have done, time and again, loose them.
FOUND DEAD. —While a gentleman named
Border was fishing about one mile above
Hopewell, on last Saturday, in the Raystown
Branch, he discovered a small child floating
in the water. He took proper steps to have
it recovered. The child was supposed to be
several months old and to have been in the
water for several days. The widow of a sol
dier had stopped in the neighborhood a short
time previous with a small child, answering
the description of the dne fonnd. The clothes
were identified as the same. The mother has
disappeared.
LATER.— Since the above was put in type,
the mother, named Imler, has been lodged in
jail for the murder ot the child. She states
that she gave an Irish woman two hundred
dollars to raise the child and that she had left
it with her. We refrain from comment.
SOT Within the last few days several papers
marked about thus: "Btop myah papersir;
returned to the editor," have been received
through the Post Office, without giving us the
least imaginable idea in regard to the office
returned from. We circulate between twelve
and thirteen hundred copies of the INRVIRER,
and there are hundreds of names on our list
that are strangers to us. How is it possible,
then, for us to know where a paper is return
ed from in such an instance, unless the Post
Office is named? In the future, if it becomes
necessary to return papers to us, we hope the
Postmaster will have sufficient foresight to
give the name of the subscriber and his Post
Office addres.

DEATH OF "OLB HAVNIBAL." —The world
renowned performing animal, "Old Hanni
bal," who for almost half a century has been
the greatest wonder of the animal kingdom,
died at Centreville, in this county, on last
Sunday morning, the 7th iuat., at 7.51 o'clock
A. M. Hannibal was attached to the com
bined Menagarie and Circus which exhibited
here on last Friday. He displayed evidences
of indisposition and feebleness several days
previously at McConnellsburg, and it required
great labor and perseverence to get him across
the mountains to Bloody Run. On Friday he
was very ill, having steadily refused food for
several days. He left here on Saturday
morning, with a very unsteady step, for Cen
treville, where he died on Sabbath morning.
Hannibal was the largest animal ever exhi
bited on this continent. His hight was 11
feet 8 inches, and his weight was ascertained
to be 15,000 pounds, or seven and one-half
tons. He consumed 300 pounds of hay, 3
bushels of oats and 46 gallons of water per
day. He was supposed to be in his 66th year
at the time of his death. For 36 years he
traversed this continent, at an average of 3000
miles per year, the greatest curiosity ever ex
hibited to the wondering and admiring mil
lions. Many interesting and instructive an
ecdotes are related of this wonderful quadru
ped which we would most willingly relate did
space permit, but we can only give him a pass
ing notice and leave others to record his his
tory as it merits to be.
The watchman who spent the last night
with the living Hannibal, reports him as hav
ing been very restless during the night, fre
quently shifting his position, lying down and
getting up. At one time he endeavored to
break loose from the stomp to which he was
tied. Sometime before his death he got on
his knees on all-fours, and remamed in that
position half an hoar. When it became ap
parent that his end was approaching, a crowd
of persons assembled to see this ponderons
and tremendously vigorous animal expire.
Fears were entertained lest in his dying ago
nies someone might be hurt, but all precau
tion was unnecessary. Hannibal at the time
above stated, stretched himself to fall length
and died without a struggle, without a quiver,
as if faintly sleeping. So ends 'Old Hannibal;'
a sadness came upon us at the solemn an
nouncement. His proprietors were telegraph
ed from Cumberland, who gave onders that
he should be interred without robbing him of
any of his natural ornaments.
"Heav'n! what enormous strength doth death
possess;
How muscular the giant's arm mnst be,
To grasp that strong-boned eleghant, and spite
of all
His efforts, Jx him to the earth!"

THE POOR-HOUSE. — The Court instructed
the Grand Jury, at its late session, to visit the
Public Buildings. In compliance with this
instruction, that body visited the Poor-House.
We annex their return as copied from the
i ecord of the Court:
[EXTRACT.]
"The Grand Jury having visited the Poor-
House find the house and beds in a bad con
dition, also the clothing on the paupers.
JAMES DEVORE, Foreman."
One half the cattle of Bedford county are
better provided with shelter and comforts
that the poor now languishing in the Poor-
House. When, oh when, will the people
see the necessity of bringing forth a change
than will result in properly furnished quar
ters for our snperannated and infirm? Will
the people see to it? For the sake of human
ity and religion let something be done. The
man who can act Poor Director and leave the
Poor.House in the condition which it is, must
either have no soul or be a heathen.
AST" We learn that the Bedford County
Mutual Oil Company is l having a capital run.
Over 50,000 shares have already been sold.

VALENTINE MOTT. —The first surgeon of
America is dead. Valentine Mott expired
at his residence in Gramercy Park, in the
80th year of his age. To his immense fame
he leaves no heir on tins continent—scarcely
a rival even in Europe. Beyond question
the most original genius in surgery who
spoke the English tongue, since John Hun
ter died, it is doubtful whether even the
great Frenchman who in the last half centu
ry has made Paris the school of the world in
.surgical science, possessed greater powers of
mind, or a more daring invention, or a more
delicately taught hand, than Valentine Mott.
Pupils in America he has many, but the
greatest of them bowed before the suprema
cy of his master's talent. Not Carnochan
nor Symmes, anatomists of Philadelphia or
New York or Boston ever thought of reach
ing tho first place in their profession till
Mott had relinquished it. But to-day the
field is open to all comers.— New York
Tribune.
TILE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.—For
four years the State ofTennessee has been
without a Legislature, but having at last ob
tained one, the Nashville papers are impro
ving the occasion by publishing brief sketches
of the individual history of its members. Of
the 24 Senators, 22 are native Tennesseeans,
and of the 76 Representatives 71 are natives
of the State. Two thirds of all the members
have been slaveholders, but it will be recol
lected that the very first official act as a!
Legislative body was to ratify the Constitu
tional Amendment abolishing slavery.
THE District Attorney of Franklin county
has prepared bills of Indictment against
General McCausland, Harry Gilinore, and
other rebel officers for pillage, arson and
murder, committed in that county during
the invasion that resulted in the burning of
Chambersburg.
COL. THOS. A. SCOTT, Assistant Secre
tary of War under Mr. Cameron, and Vice
President of the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road, was married, at Pittsburgh, to Miss
Riddle, on the evening of the 18th ultimo.
HINTONR. HELPER, author of the "Im
pending Crisis, " has returned to his home
in North Carolina, from which he was ban
ished by order of Hon. Edward Stanley the
Military Governor.
OVER eight thousand steam engines are
employed in boring for and pumping oil in
this State.
SLANDER. —I have known a country
society which withered away all to nothing
under the dry rot of gossip only. Friend
ships once as firm as granite dissolved to
; elly and than ran away to water, only be
cause of this love that promised a future as
enduring as heaven and as stable as
truth, evaporated •in morning mist that
turned to a day's long tears, only because of
this,a fat her and a sou were set foot to foot
with the'fiery breath of an anger that would
never cool again between them,only because
of this; and a husband and his young wife,
each straining at the hated leash which in
the beginning had been the golden bondage
of a god-blessed love, sat mournfully by the
side of the grave where all their love and all
their joy lay buried, alsa because of this. I
have seen faith transformed to mean doubt,
hope give place to grim despair, and charity
take on itself the features of black malevol
ence, all because of the spell words of scandal ,
and the magic mutterings of gossip. Great
crimes work great wrongs, and the deeper
tragedies of humanlife spring from its larger
passions; but woful and most melancholy are
the uncatalogued tragedies that issue from
gossip and detraction; most mournful the
shipwreck often made of noble natures and
lovely lives by the bitter winds and dead salt
watoro of ooomlol. So easy to say, yet BO hard
to disprove—throwing on the innocent all
the burden and the strain of demonstrating
their innocence, and punishing them as guilty
if unable to pluck out the stings they never
see. and; to silence words they never hear —
gossip and slander are the deadliest and the
cruelest weapons man has forged for his bro
ther's hurt

The uale of the first series of $300,000,006 of the
7-30 Loan was completed on the 31st of March,
1865. The sale of the second series of Three Hun
dred Millions, payable three years from the 15th
•fey of June, 1865, was begun on the Ist of April.
In the short apace of thirty days, orer One Hun
dred Million* of this eerie* have been sold—leav
ing this day less than Two Hundred Millions to be
disposed of. The interest if payable semi-annual
ly in currency on the 15th of December and 15th
of June by Coupons attached to each note, which
are readily cashed anywhere. It amounts to

MORE AND MORE DESIRABLE.
The Rebellion is suppressed, and the Govern
ment has already adopted measures to reduce ex
penditures as rapidly as possible to a peace foot
ing, thus withdrawing from market as borrower
and purchaser.
This is the
OSLI I.OA\ IX NARKET
j now offered by the Government, and constitutes
the
Great Popular Loan of the People.
The Seven Thirty Notes arc convertible on their
maturity, at the option of the holder, into
U. S. 5-20 SIX PER CENT.
GOLD BEARING BONDS.
Which are always worth a premium.
FREE FROM TAXATION.
The 7-30 Notes cannot be taxed by Towns, Ci
ties, Counties or States, and the interest is not
taxed unless on a surplus'of the owner's income
exceeding six hundred dollars a year. This fact
increases their value from one to three per cent,
per annum, according to the rate levied on other
property.
SUBSCRIBE QUICKLY.
Less than $200,000,009 of the loan authorized
by the last Congress are now in the market. This
amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed,
will all be subscribed for within two months,
when the notes will undoubtedly com
mand a premium, as ha* uniformly been the case
on closing the subscript! JUS toother Loans. It
noir teems probable thai no considerable amount
beyond the present series mil be offered to the pub
lic.
In order that citizens of every town and section
of the country may be afforded facilities for taking
the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and
Private Bankers throughout the- country have
generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par.
Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom
they have confidence, and who only are to be res

No favoritism. Every Subscriber on the
(iround Floor.
The property ef the above Darned company,
which is about being organized under the mining
laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following
valuable territory, to wit:
1. A lease of one-half acre, known as "So. 3,"
on the Tenney and Btorrow purchase, on Cherry
Run, \ enango county, Pa., just above the celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
j woll just strack, flowing at present 100 barrels per
day. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
I half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
! the above, known as "No. 6," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-eighths of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." All flat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house ttpon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," df Philadelphia, are now sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that It cannot lie excelled by
that of any other company yet organised. The
two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
ttreuty-Jice rent, per .hare, that placing every .üb
.criber to thi* fund on the ground-jiour, and giv
ing each .üb.cribcr a pro rata interest in the ter
ritory, engine., and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
alter the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boring up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1865, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceed without
delay to the development of its territory.
The following named persons baua been elected
officers of the company.

READ WHO SAYS SO :
FROM THE HON. THOS. B. FLORENCE:
Washington, January 1,1864.
Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to yon,
I have no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I ex
perienced marked benefit from your Hoofiand'g
German Bitters. During a long and tedious session
of Congress, pressing and onerous duties nearly
prostrated mc. A kind friend suggested the as*
of the preparation 1 have named. I took his ad
vice, and the result was improvement of health,
renewed energy, and that particular relief I so
much needed and obtained. Others may be sim
ilarly advantaged if they desire to be.
Truly your friend,
THOMAS B. FLORENCE.
From John B. Wickersham, Esq., firm ofWick
ersham A Hutchison, the celebrated Manufac
turers of Fancy-Iron Works, 2&9 Canal St.
lam the recipient from yon of one of the great
est favors that can be conferred upon man, vis:
that of health. For many years have I suffered
from one of the most annoying and debilitating
complaints that the human family can be afflicted
with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this
disease, I was attended by regular physicians, giv
ing me but temporary relief. The cause seemed to
remain until I was induced to try Hoofiand's Ger
man Bitters. After the use of a few bottles of
that valuable medicine, the complaint appeared to
be completely eradicated.
I often inwardly thank you for snch a valuable
specific and, whenever I have an opportunity,
cheerfully recommend it, with full confidence in
its reliability.
Truly yours,
JOHN B. WICKZBSHAH.

February Bth, 1864.
Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman: —My
mother-in-law has been so greatly benefitted by
yoor Hoofiand's German Bitters that I concluded
to try it myself. I find it to be an invaluable tonic,
and unhesitatingly recommend it to all who are
suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease
in its most obstinate form—flatulence—for many,
years, and your Bitters has given me ease when
everything else had failed. Yours truly,
Juucs Lis.
From the Hoil. JACOB BROOM,
uvuiavinen: in reply"¥o°your inquiry as to the
effect produced by the use of Hoofiand's German
Bitters, in my family, I have no hesitatien in say.
ing that it has been highly beneficial. In one in
stance, a case of dyspepsia of thirteen years' stand,
ing, and which had become very distressing, the
use of one bottle gave decided relief, the second
effecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has con.
firmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms of
its return for the last six years. In my individ
ual use of it 1 find it to be an uneqnalled tonic,
and sincerely recommend its use to the sufferers.
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church
Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863.
Messrs. Jones t Evans—Gentlemen:—l have
recently been laboring under the distressing effects
of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervus system. Numerous remedies were
recommended by friends, and some of them tested,
but without relief. Your Hoofiand's German Bit
ters were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mention of the Bit
ters induced me also to try them. I must confess
that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from
the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whose
only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
dragged liqaor upon the community, in a sly
way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learn
ing that yours was really a medicine preparation,
I took it with happy effect. Its action was not
upon only the stomach, but upon the nerTous sys
tem, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I
have derivedgreat and permanent benefit from the
use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yous,
W. D. SEIGFRIED,
No. 354 Shackemaxon St.
From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of
Borough Baptist Church
Dr. Jackson: —Dear Sir:—l feci it due to your
excellent preparation, Hoofland German Bitters,
to add my testimony to the deserved reputation
it has obtained. I have for years, at times, been
troubled with great disorder in my head and ner
vous system. I was advised by a friend to try a
bottle of your German Bitters, I did so, and have
exprienoed great and unexpected relief; my health
has been every materially benefited. I confidently
recommend the article where I meet with cases
similar to my own, and have been assured by
many of their good effects.
Respectfully yours, T. Wistib, Roxborougk, Pa.
From Rev. J. S. Hrrman, of the German Reformed
Church, Kutztown, Berks County, Pa.
Dr. C.Jackson;—Respected Sir I have been
troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and
have never used any medicine that did me as
much good as Hoofiand's Bitten. I am very
much improved in health, after having taken •
bottles.
Yours with respect, J. 8. HERB AW.
