therefore one of the best medimns in the
country for advertisers.

it be distinctly understood that we

NOTICES, special notices and advertisements.
The puffing business is played out with us un
less our terms, 15 cents aline, are strictly com
plied with, nor do we make any reduction on
our advertising to accommodate our best
friends. There is no use for Us to establish
prices if we do not be governed by them, and
we shall hereafter as heretofore, know no fa
voritism. We hope those persons desiring
to use our columns will save time by examin
ing aur terms and complying with them.--tf.
BgL. We take great pleasure in returning
our thanks to the numerous subscribers of
the INQUIRER for the prompt manner in which
they have come forward and paid their sub
scription in advance. We believe that we
have the best paying patrons in the State.
We are also very highly gratified at the nu
merous subscriptions which we have received;
during Court week upwards of twenty volun
tarily gave us their name 3 without any exer
tion on our part, and better than all this, paid
in advance. The has almost dou
bled its circulation within the last two years,
it is now rapidly approaching 1,400, between
1,100 and 1,200 of this number are circulated
in Bedford county, making it one of the best
advertising mediums in Southern Pennsylva
nia. This circulation then, we have no hesi
tation in saying, exceeds the bona fide circu
lation attained by any other journal in this
county at least 500. This is certainly very
encouraging, and with a little more effort on
the part of our friends the TXOUIRER will era
into the hands of two-thirds of the Union
men in the county, when we succeed in ac
complishing this feat, Bedford county will give
us a clear Union majority of three hundred.
Friends, there are twenty-six hundred Union
voters in the county, the INQUIRER ought to
be in the hands of two thousand of them at
the least calculation. We are giving as much
reading matter as any county paper published,
and we are excluding all the demoralizing
advertisements which too frequently crowd
the columns of the country press. In a very
short time we will be clear of them entirely
when we will not likely renew the contracts.
Friends, spread intelligence it is the safe
guard of Republican institutions. —tf.

HORSE THIEVES.— Our jail has been the re
ceptacle of some four or five horse thieves
within the last week. Horse stealing ap
pears to be a paying business. Three were
stolen down in Londonderry the other night;
two from one man. The thieves were not
sharp, enough and they were captured and
lodged in jail. Justice awaits them.
THE SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.
—The engineers who have for the last year
been running experimental surveys between
Connellsville and Chambersburg, commenced
this week locating the road between this point
and Mount Dallas. This we hope indicates
an intention on the part of the Company to
complete the Bedford road from its present
terminus to this place. No greater favor
could in any event be bestowed upon our peo
ple; nor do we think that a better investment
could be made. Railroads, generally make
business; this has been most fully verified in
the case of the Bedford Railroad. The Broad
Top Company have not been able to supply
the demand for rolling stock. By its exten
sion to Bedford the trade would be increased
two-fold, while we would have the assurance
that the Broap Top road would be improved.
We hope that the company will put the seven
miles between this point and Mount Dallas
under contract at once.
PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE.— This institution,
located at Gettysburg, is rapidly rising into
public notice and favor.
We observe with pleasure that its enterpri
sing and energetic trustees have resolved up
on such a modification of its preparatory De
partment, as will make it at once a most de
sirable place to which parents can send their
sons at an early age, with the assurance that
they will be cared for and trained as in a well
conducted family.
The Rev. Mr. Ehrhart, of Middletown, who
has had much experience in such matters and
is in every way admirably adapted to take
charge of such an establishment, has been
elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart
ment and a member of the College Faculty.
He will at once take up his residence in the
large college building and take personal su
pervision of all boys who may be committed
to his care. The trustees intend to erect a
large building during the coming year for the
special accommodation of this department.
The attention of christian parents is espe
cially invited to the advantages of this school,
which is located in a moral and intelligent
community, in a proverbially healthy region
of country, somewhat retired and yet easy of
access by railroad. Especially for those who
intend to send their sons to Pennsylvania
College hereafter, is it desirable that they
have such an opportunity of giving them their
preparatory training with special reference to
the course of study pursued in that institu
tion.
For particulars in regard to the price of
tuition, boarding, &c., parents and guardians
are referred to Rev. C. J. Ehrhart, of Mid
dletown, or D. A. Buehler, Esq., Gettys
burg.

"North Polar Exploration," "Gleanings

ti-Slavery Revolution in America," is better
by far and full of feet, truth and human sym
pathy. "American Novelists: Theodore

ticle. The other articles in this number are
"Political Economy," "Imperial History,"
"The Principles of our Indian Policy," and
"Contemporary Literature."
Letter from Cumberland Valley*
CUMBERLAND VALLEY, Sept. 12, 1866.
Editors Inquirer: —Thinking (hat a few
lines from this out-of-the-way place would
not come amiss, I thought I. would pen the
same, though not having any news of impor
tance to write. There is rather a dearth of
that article here at this time. In fact this
place was never noted for any very important
news, without it was when a runaway slave
from some part of "Dixie" was "taken up,"
safely lodged in jail and the reward jingling
in the pocket of the catcher. But strange to
say, that, even, has "played out," much to
the chagrin of some men who think that mo
ney pays well at ten per cent, interest. We
would advise them though, to be of good
cheer—the raising of wheat also pays well at
three dollars per bushel.
Copperheadism here after the election will
very much resemble in appearance the last
run of shad. The soldiers are determined to
attend to the skedaddlers from the draft,
(roost all of whom have skulked home,) on
the second Tuesday in October. They think,
and rightly too, that men who deserted the
cause of their country when called upon,
should not have the same privilege at the
ballot box that men have who faced the mo-
I sic, and put an end to the most infamous re
bellion that ever disgraced the annals of the
world—and they are determined they shall
not. There are some thirty deserters from
the draft in this township, a fact which does
not speak volumes for its loyalty. You might
probably ask the reason of this. The teach
ings of the Gazette —the god the ignorant wor
ship, the editor of which, if we may judge
from his paper, is about as much qualified to
enlighten a person as a blind hog is to watch
a meat house, and propably less.
Whether the Cops will endeavor to hold a
meeting here prior to the election, is rather
doubtful. We rather think not, though they
might prevail on some of the bounty-jumpers,
skedaddlers from the draft Ac., to attend, but
we are of the opinion that they would proba
bly have some objections to being caught out
from home.
The editor of the Gazette has taken it upon
himself to send me some copies of his "vile,
loathsome' sheet, which I wish him to under,
stand I do not thank him for, and further, I
want him to discontinue sending the same.
He might probably put his paper to some
other use, or at least I do not want it.
Truly yours, ALEXCS.

A Bio INCOME.— We have now the official
figures of the customs revenue of the gov

August. The month's revenue amounted,
(in hard cash) to $13,190,400, or an average
of $488,533 a day for each of the twenty
seven business days of the month. Thus
far in the current calender year the coin re
ceipts for customs at this port have reached
$60,185,538. This is the total for eight
months, making the monthly average nearly
$6,525,000, or full twenty-six million dollars
in excess of the grand total annual coin in
terest charged on the funded debt of the na
tion. And this is the result for the port of
New-York alone ! It would seem as though
Uncle Samuel cannot fail to meet with his
