UNION MEETINGS. —A number of Union
meetings were held in different portions of the
county since our last issue down to Mon lay
evening previous to the election which were
numerously attended. The meeting in Bed
ford Borough on Monday nightin front of the
Washington Hotel was the grandest success
of the campaign. The officers were Hon.
Samuel L. Russell, President, Wm, Kiser,
Capt. .John .Arnold, George D. Shuck, George
R. Oster, B. W. Garretson, Capt. C. R. Mil
ler, D. W. Mullne, Wm. Dibert, Vice Presi
dents, and Hayes Irvln, David S. Elliott, Al
exander Lyon, and Dr. Wm. Watson, Secre
taries. The meeting was addressed by Col.
Jordan, Hon. .John Cessna, Col Filler, M. A.
Points, Esq.. J. B. Cessna, Esq., and J. T.
Keagy, Esq. The meeting was in fine con
trast with that of the Copperhead meeting
held at the same hour in front of the Mengel
House. Hundreds attended the Republican
meeting while two or three dozen of boister
ous individuals composed the entire audience

Fikk.—The house occupied until lately by

or' Bedford township, was destroyed on last
Saturday night by fire. Mr. Smith had
erected a new building and had moved into
it some time ago. The old butldiug was
used as a storehouse and contained several
hundren dollars worth of property at the
time of its destruction. The fire was the
work of an incendiary. The building was
locked up, when the fire was discovered, the
door was found broke open establishing be
yond a doubt that it was fired by some vil
lain after having plundered it. The loss
will not be less than S3<XJ which is not oov
ered by insurance.
