BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, AYGI'ST 4, tSfia. A HOIUTLKI.E TUAUEUY.— EX.-DEPI TY PliO- VtiST MAUHHAI CHOI:KB SHOT DKAO IN THE XTUKET ON TLKSDAY MO UNI NO —His MCRWTR fctss AURFCSRFIH ANN IS JAII.,— For the first time in the histo.y of our borough a man has been murdered in oar stiWC* The awful tragedy created intense excitement, business was sus pended, crowds assembled in tne streets and active steps were taken to arrest the murder ers. We will endeavor in a fair and impartial manner to give mi account of the circumstan ces which led to the commission of the horrid deed. John P. Keed, Jr., and Mongol Reed, sons of John P. Reed, Esq., <> old citizen of this borough, and formerly Prothonotary of this county, are charged wfith the commission of this heinous crime. John P. Reed, jr., di rectly after the breaking out of the rebellion visited Gafada and studied law office of a Canadian Barrister. While there he was drafted. The general impression among all classes in this community was that he had gone to Canada to avoid the military service of the United States. immediately after President 1 .ineoln issued his Proclamation giving delinquents until a certain date to re port his friends got permission to pay eomirtu tation J'or liiia, nid in a short time thereafter he returned to this place. Mengel Reed, in the latter part of June, 1803. in company with Brintoh Lyou went to .MeCoimellsburg. Ful ton conuty. in time to join, or as his friends allege, to be pressed into the rebel service, lie was captured by our men at the battle of Gettysburg and confined at Fort Delaware, w hen he was found by his friends, and efforts made to seehre his release, which were suc cessful. The evidence in favor of his having gone into the rebel service voluntarily was so M rung that few, persons, if any. doubted it. j This being the ease he was generally regar ded as a traitor and treated as such by Fnion j men. For the last two years lie has spent the j greater part of his time in Philadelphia study ing medicine, only returning here at intervals of several months to spend a few dayß. He returned here on the 3d of July last, and he w.i - notified by some of the returned soldiers to leave iu a few hours. The soldiers were, however, prevailed upon not to molest him and he has remained from that time until the present. On last Saturday afternoon as.faeob Crouse passed the Mengel House, Mcngel Reed was standing in front of it on the side walk. Mr. Crouse remarked "How are you, Johnny V" and passed on. As he crossed thealley North of the Hotel he heard Reed call to him to stop and he would cane him. Crouse halted and told him that he would not need to go any further to do it than justthere. At this point John P. lleed, jr., ran in and struck Crouse. A scuffle ensued iu which Crouse and Reed were precipitated to the ground with the ad vantage in favor of Reed. The friends of Reed rallied to the spot to the number of ten to one, and readily assisted him to maintain any advantage that he might have acquired, but the moment Crouse begun to recover then, they were parted. Crouse told the writer of this article that he was kicked a number of times by Reed's friends and that he was under the impression that Jie had been hit once with a canßs While the affair was in progress Liics appeared to come from all sides "Now you've got him, kill himf" ''Killthcd —U son of a b —h!" The result was heralded as a triumph for the Reeds. About 9 o clock the same evening as Schell ltecd was passing the Western Union Xelegraf.h U3ice, Crouse mistook him for his brother, John P. Reed, fTi, and attacked him. The latter came to the assistance of his brother but finding the quar ters decidedly too hot be beat a Hasty re treat j while the other was left off with very little in jury. Here the matter rested until last Tuesday morning, the Ist of August. Crouse, it ap pears, had given over all idea of any further diUkgttyb In.cairversatiou that morning .with his wife he expressed his regrets at what had pas-vjd, stating that if he had it to do over again he would not do it. He expressed himself as being very sorry that he had mis took Schell Reed for his brother, but said he f 'it' is at! Over how. there wuPße no more of it." He came down street and as he pas sed Mann's corner he met his murderer. We present the fi*ats elicited before the Coroner's Inquest. A few wwrib passed between thorn, Crouse took off his coat and threw it on a post near by, Reed reached to his side and presented a pistol, Crouse reached qiui, obtained two stones, and for a moment regarded nie move ments of his antagonist. In .tips, meantime Heed had cocked his pistol. Crouse hesi tating no longer threw a stoue striking dieed on the hip. and in a moment more Keed aimed and discharged Lis pistol and Crouse sank to the earth and expired in a few minutes. Men gel Heed appears to have been on the alert and hurried to the scene Of action with a stone in his hand, which he poised to throw in case Crouse should attempt to rise. Holding it in this position several seconds and finding that Crouse could net recover lie hurried away. A large crowd assembled at once and deman ded the surrender of the perpetrators of this horrible crime, and they were promptly sur rendered to the authorities an I lodged in jail to await their trial, or to escape, as wc learn they have not been put in irons. Due half the culprits confined in the jail for the last three years have escaped and we cannot ex pect a greater effort to retain these criminals 'han usual. Thus ended this horrible tragedy. It was shown that Reed had told a number of per sons that he would shoot hira and that he had been practicing on Monday during a good part of the day. A po.it mortem examination was >ade upon the body of Crotise by Drs. J. L. •iarbourg and William Watson, with the fol lowing result: The hall entered below the left shoulder, passing downwards through the apex of the left lung, cutting the left pulmonary artery in iu course near the heart, (the left pulmonary artery is au important artery throu gb which the blood passes to the left lung to be come oxydjsed,} then down through the thor acic aorta, a large and important, blood-ves" 9Bl* through which ail the b!. "<l pauses to supply the lower part of the body, (the sever ing of either the above named arteries would produce death in fifteen or twenty minutes,) then passed into the Sixth dorsal vertebera. about half through where it was found. The following is the finding of the Inquest summoned by J- W. Lingenfelter. Esq.: I COMMONWEALTH OP PENNSYLVANIA. ' I Ui>VJTY OP BEDEOUJL AS.

He hated, with ail the intense ardor of his soul, those fottl-mouthed traitors who attempted to trail the flag of our country iu the dust. As an officer he was vigilant, wary and brave, even to rashness, and for this he was fiendishly murdered. He leaves a large family to mourn but JtMW and without the -means of support. He was followed to his last resting place in the public cemetery on last Wednesday by a vast concourse of sympathizing people. May he rest in peace. COXTIUBI'TIOXS. —Contributions will be re ceived at this office in behalf of the family of the lamented Jacob Crouse, who was foully murdered in our streets on last Tuesday. The family is left without any means of support, and we appeal to the loyal people of Bedford county to come forward and place them be yond the reach of want. Any money forwar ded to us will be acknowledged in our paper of the week following. Already a number of gentlemen have contributed liberally. Citi zens of Bloody Run, Woodberry and Schells burg, go to work at once, and do something for this laudable object.

COI.I.KOK. —At the late annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Franklin and Marshall College, the resig nation of Hon. James Buchaiiau, as President of the Board, was tendered, accepted, and Hon. John Cessna was elected to fill the va cancy. The attendance at this meeting was larger than at any previous meeting of the Board fr>T many years, and a most hopeful feeling animated all present . There seems to be an earnest determination among all the members to go to work with renewed energy to place the College in the front rank of insti tutions of its class, and. as wc have before re- ' marked, we have no doubt that these efforts will be crowned with success. The selection of Mr. Cessna as President of the Board of Trustees, is a step in the right direction, and a very important one. Mr. Cessna possesses in a high degree all the requisite qualifications for this responsible position. He is a man of progress, fully up with the spirit of the age, and is, moreover, in the prime of life. The friends of the College, therefore, have cause to congratulate themselves upon the eminent fitness of this selection.— Exchange.

Schneck, of Chambersburg, himself a man of decidedly musical taste, and a good judge of instruments, says of Dunham's Pianos : "I regard them the best, as well as regards fine tone as durability, within the range of my knowledge. I have known Mr. Dunham's Pianos for 27 years, and my opinion remains unchanged, that there is no better instrument in the market, and at so reasonable a price." By calling on Dr. Schneck, either in person or by letter, further information can be ob tained. He has kindly consented to order Pi anos andscctliein safely delivered and put up. All Pianos warranted for 5 years. Host Master (jrenerai has estab lished a Post-Offiee at Bedford Springs and appointed A. (i. Allen, Esq., Post Master. This is a very good move and we would desire a few more of the same sort. It appears to us that Bedford county is cursed by the worst system of postal arrangements that ever embarrassed any people. We have five hundred sub-eriiters who, on an average of every other week, are deprived of their pa per for three or four days because there is no mail agent on the Broad Top rail road, or not a sufficient number of mail bags, or again, lieeause the Department has strenuously re fused to put a daily mail on route No. 25f>'J, or change the tri-weekly mail to a day later. AY e hope that somebody will wake up to the importance of giving us decent mail facili ties. There are other portions of the coun ty that have even worse arrangements. fif#'Hon. Tbaddeus Stevens has been stopping at the Bedford Springs for the last week. He appears to be enjoying the gaye ty and sociability of this crowded resort to great advantage. We h>>pe to hear of the thorough recuperation of his physical pow ers and that he will enter the next Congress so improved in mind and body that he will make the Nation exclaim "While Thaddeus iSteveixs leads, the country is safe!" Mr. Stevens is the leader of the Republican par ty iu the Lower House of Congress and we regret a thousand times that Congress is not in session that such men as he could be heard. Well, we will hear from them when it does assemble. VSrQn last Wednesday evening Company B. of the 187 th Regiment, quartered here, presented the Union party of Bedford bor ough with a splendid cannon, manufuatured by Messrs Stores & Jordan. The company hud it splendidly mounted and tastefully painted. Speeches were made by orderly Ilgeufritz and Moses A. Points, Esq. A large uumber of persons were in attendance.

Polsobovk, Pastor. Dry Goods. —G. R. & W. Oster, Bed ford. Pa., has just received a general assort ment'of new goods, to which they respect fully invite the early attention of buyers. ExTENSIVKfiILK AND WINEUROWING PRO POSITION. —A proposition has been made to the Agricultural bureau by Attilio Valtelina, of Lombardy, Italy, to colonize eighty-two Italians in the States of New York or New Jersey, for the purpose of raising silks and wines. The proposer agrees to furnish one million grapevines and ten thousand mul berry trees, and will transport the laborers to this country for $40,000, one-half to be expended in the purchase of vines, trees, silk worms, implement.'- an 1 other expenses. He says he has a perfect knowledge of the business, and that such a farm could be put in operation in three or four months. The first two years the production would be nom inal, but the third it would pay a profit, and the fifth year he estimates the production at the enormous figure of eight hundred mil - ions of dollars. He says the climate of the States named is well adapted to the culture of wine and silks, and it only needs experienced work mentto dcvcloue the capabilities of the soil, which will render us entirely independent of foreign nations for wines and silks, which can be produced in this country as plentiful ly and as cheaply as in .1 tidy. He refers to Hon. George 0. Marsh, American Consul at. Turin, as a guarantor of his ability to per form what he proposes. The Agricultural Bureau having no authority to engage in en terprises of this kind, cannot entertain the proposition, but it is a matter well worthy the attention of capitalists.— PhiltuMphta lit rj utrer. IMPORTANT DECISION CONCERNING PEN SIONS. —The following decisions have been rendered at the Pension Bureau: A soldier discharged on account of a disease under which he was laboring when he entered the service, is not entitled to a pension. Actual rank in the line regulates the a inount of pension, and not brevet rank.— This rule applies to aid-de-camps, adjutants i and others. If any injury results from the fault of the i soldier, he is not entitled to a pension. A widow,s pension ceases if she marries. The minor children, under sixteen years of age, if any, are entitled from the day of the marriage. No one while in the receipt of pay or e mohiuiente as an officer or soldier of the ar my can be placed on the peusion list. The pension will not commence until the party is discharged. * A minor disabled in the service does not lose his right to a pension, although he may subsequently have been discharged because of being a minor. A seauian was taken prisoner, and attemp ted to escape, for which he was severely pun ished by the enemy, and thereby disabled. It is held that the disability was contracted while in "the lino of his duty," and for which he is entitled to a pension. The pension of a minor child ceases on ar riving at the age of sixteen years. IjOHP RrssKT.L and Mr. Gladstone each have a son for whom the fathers were anxi ous to secure seats in the British Parliament. The former sent his sou to Leeds, where he made a silly speech and was defeated. Gladstone did better. He took his son to a desired constituency, showed him to the I independent voters, made a very sensible | speech himself, while "young hopeful" j wisely held his tougue, and the result was a i triumphant success, but his father washitu : self defeated in hi- uwu district. He might have fared Utter had the sou ntude the speech then tor him, AN IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION.—We learn that the Commissioner of Pensions has decided that persons disabled by wound received in battle while temporally serving with any regularly organized military or na I val force of the United States, since March !, 1804, but not regelarly enlisted, and the widows, dependent mothers or sisters, or minor children Under sixteen years of a*©, or those who. serving in like manner, have been or may be killed, are entitled, on satis factory proof, to the benefit of the act of July 14, 1862, on the conditions therein pre scribed. Proof of service, in eases arising under the ninth section of the act of July 4. 1864, must be furnished by a commis sioned officer under or with whom such un enlisted person served, showing the nature, period and circumstances of such service.— Proof as to the disability or death of a per son so serving must be shown in the same manner, when practicable, or by the affidavits of two non-commissioned officers is practica ble. If the offieet-furnishing such evidence is not at the time in the service, his certifi cate must be duly sworn to and his signature authenticated. POWER OF THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY.— A reeent work, "The Great Governing Families ©f England,'' says: England is governed, in times of excite ment, by its people ; in quiet times, by its aristocracy, from whom a careful analysis shews that the thirty-one families at this moment supply one hundred and ten mem bers, or a clear working fourth of the Eng lish House of Commons, who have, in fact, as great a divot power as the whole kingdom of Ireland, double that of Scotland, five times that of Jtoiidon. as much as that of London and the forty next greatest cities. When we have added the great Irish and the great Scotch proprietors, it will lie found that sixty families supply, and for genera tions have supplied, one-third of the House of Commons, one-third of the ultimate gov erning power for an empire which incluaesa a fourth of the hnman race. Ik recent arrivals fron English sources are to be credited the Mexican question will soon meet with a solution very much like a dis solution. Not finding the ancestral halls of the Montezuma favorable to his health, the Emperor went to Puella, hut although on his arrival the streets were full of people, not a hand or voice was raised in Ins wel come except from some English contracters on the Vera Cruz liailway. From the mo ment of his entrance into a country he did not understand, and the politics of which were a puzzle to ranch nearer spectators than the Austrian pretender, he has experienced the fate of those who heartily embrace no side, and is hated by all. He has neglected the Liberals, who were mainly instrumental in bringing him thither, and has not re formed any of the clerical, abuses under which the country groans. To an American the eye-sights now exhib ited at Brownsville, Texas, are very novel, and show a want of the go-a-head, labor-sa ving propensities of Voting America. Think of a man harnessing himself to a barrel filled with water, ana pulling it over the city for delivery to customers, or fastening on to the back of a diminutive jackaSs about as much wood as an able-bodied man could car ry in his anus, when the same animal could draw ten times as much in some sort of a vehicle. The ladies are supplied with dress goods, ribbons laces, boots, shoes, pins and combs, by big, two-fisted fellows, who eariy these things from house to house on their shoulders or in baskets, and who would be do ing their oppressed country great service in the ranks of Cortinas and Juarez. THE way they erect towns in the oil regions looks as if the Petrolians were addicted to the "sudden." At Rouseville, recently a fc*. k trwp- 0A wra ed in eight days. Pit Hole was located, or ganized and made a flourishing town of four hundred buildings and a thousand inhabi tants in the short space of three weeks. — They have all the accompaniment of hotels, telegraph, post office, and are talking of a lailroatl. The projected railroad from Ti tusville to Union will cosl S4OO,(XX); the dis tance is twenty-three miles, and they are go ing to construct, it in ninety days. A Washington county paper says: ' After a good deal of hesitation, tlie wool trade of our county has at last opened, though as yet the crop is going off slowly. Up until within the fast week or so, buyers and pro ducers were so far apart that no sales were made; hut siuee that we have heard of sev eral tnousand pounds being bought at prices ranging from fifty to ninety eents, according to quality." The whole number of soldiers' orphans admitted to the schools provided for them, in Bucks county, up to the first of July, was eight hundred and fifty-seven, sixty-five of this number being at the school at Quaker town. The vacation will commence on the 28 th of July, and the schools will re-open on the 4th of September. The notorious forger, Colonel J. Buchanan Cross, whose exploit in forgery, and his desperate efforts to escape from the Philadel phia Penitentiary by means of false papers, caused so much excitement some years ago, will be discharged next month, his term of five years expiring on the 18th. He has been employed in making cane-seat chairs since his confinement. TIME'S WRIGGLING.— The Ixiuisville Journal says: "Jeff Davis and his followers got up the rebellion for the pretended pur pose of rendering their property in slaves secure. And now Jeff Davis is in prison awaiting trial for his life, and his ex-slaves arc cultivating his fine plantation of two thousand acres in Mississippi for their own benefit. MOST of the leading secessionists in Eu rope. who were so wondrous proud at the beginning of the war, are now extremely hard up. Mason is living upon charity in liondon. and Slidell, who for a long while had the credit of possessing untold chests of dollars, is & pensioner u|Hin his father-in law. THE Northern Central Railway Company have contributed two thousand five hundred dollars to assist the borough of York to pay the assessment made upon the citizens by the Rebel General Early during the last Rebel raid in this State. IT is cool to speak of snow falling in Mis souri, not very distant from St. Louis., on the 18th of this month, but such is the fact. The Franklin county Neu n gives the evidence of the fact, that snow fell in Washington, Mo., on the day named. It must havebeen 1 efreshing. IN addition to the heavy column of caval ry now on its march through Texas, from twelve to fifteen thousand infantry are now making their appearance on the Kio Grande, prepararory to assuming the position of em igrants with arms and utensils necessary for their own protection. AMONG a number of confederates who since the termination of the war have left Europe and taken up their abode in Canada, is .John Y. Mason, of Virginia, formerly U nited States Senator and more recently the accredited Commissioner of the late Confed erate Government in London, Mr, Mason is now residing with his family at St. Cath arine's. THERE is a general arrival throughout the State of Skedaddlers who have been residing for some time in Canada. It is well to re mind them that by President Lincoln,s proc lamation, made in pursuance of act of Con- Sess, all deserters who fail to report before ay Ist 1865, are forever disfranchised as j American citizens. The Descret iV cx announces the do ith of | James Ruane Doty, Governor of Utah, who i expired at Great Salt Lake City on the 13th ■of June. The deceased was a little over 1 sixty-five years old.

The boys participated in the battle of Cold Harbor, where Charles was slightly wounded in the breast with a ball. A few days after they were both cajr tured, with nearly all their company ana ta ken to Richmond, Va., and from thence to AndersonviHe, where they remained during the summer and suffered extremely from starvation and camp disease. From thence they were removed to Millen, in Georgia, where they were separated, Charles was sent to Baldwin, in Floida, and Edmund to Flor ence, in South Carolina. The latter remain ed at Florence until February last, when he was sent to GoklsborO', and there parolled, on the 26th of the saine month. He was sent from thence to Wilmington and there died, from starvation and exhaustion. Charles, was released at Baldwin, Florida, about the 3d of last May. and reached home in a very bad state of health. SPECIAL NOTICES. Old Eye* Made New.
