Church gave an im promptu oyster supper at the Court House, on Thanksgiving evening, where a large num. ber of our citizens resorted for the purpose of regaling themselves with the luxurious bi valves prepared for the occasion. All passed off pleasantly and harmoniously. We learn that the society realized a very handsome profit, which is to be appropriated to the fur nishing of the M. E. Parsonage. T ha.nksgiving Day. —There was a general suspension of business in this place. The weather was quite cold with a strong North western wind. Services were held by agree ment of all the churches in the Lutheran church. Kev. Barrow and Rev. Essiek open ed and closed the ceremonies, and Rev. A.R. Miller delivered the usual sermon. It was listened to with much interest until its close by a very large and intelligent, audience. The Base Ball Clubs had advertised a match for the day. where a large number of persons attended in the afternoon regardless of the severity of the weather. Quite an intense in terest was manifested in the game. Each party had its friends, and as the game began to draw to the close, the warmest feeling was visible, but all within the rules of propriety. The Mineral Spring Club came off the win ning party. The losing club served up an oyster supper at the Washington Hotel in the evening. The bar-rooms of the different ho tels were closed and everything passed off de cently. A New Bogus Watch Dodge. —An indi vidual giving his name as William Smith, made his appearance in South Woodberry township, on Monday or Tuesday of last week, who represented, in most pitiable terms, that he was without money, and that he desired to visit an uncle residing in the upper end of the county, and to enable him to raise funds suf ficient to take him to the uncle aforesaid, he proposed to pledge a gold watch valued at $125, for $25, which he promised to return and redeem as soon as he reached the resi dence of his uncle, and secured the necessary money, which would not exceed four or five days at farthest. He prevailed upon several parties in South Woodberry and Bedford townships to accept his stories of poverty and distress, and for their Greenbacks he turned over a bogus watch, worth, at the outside ceut, five dollars. In one case he succeeded in getting $25 advanced: he then noticed that a member of the family had a new American lever watch, valued at SSO, which he delib erately asked him to loan him, until he would return, stating that he could not well do with out a time-peace. Of course both man and watch will only return in the strong grasp of the law if ever either returns. His rascality was discovered a few hours afterwards, and pursuit commenced. He was followed from ihe neighborhood of Enterprise, through St. ( iairsville, he, apparently, travelling very rapidly, offering his bogus watches at every souse along the way. into Dutch Comer, and bom there into Bedford, where he stopped at Hie \V ashingtou Hotel, registering his name M. H- Swart/.. On Thursday morning, be !l>re the parties in pursuit had discovered his whereabouts, he took the six o'clock coach lor ' hambersburg. Telegrams were sent ah tad to put the officers of the law on nis track, but w hen the scoundrel reached Iboody Huu, he concluded that he would not t-'n any further. He took breakfast at J. P. 'Overling's hotel and immediately after 't, on loot. It is supposed that he walked 'wn the Piatik-road towards John's Branch w '>ere, quite probab !y, he took the ears. We i have not heard of bis arrest up to the present wjiting. He is described as having heavy side whiskers, heavy moustache, black frock coat, brown checkered pants and vest, black crpet-sack aud umbrella. This is evidently not his first appearance in our county, as he is acquainted with the names of a number of our citizens. ( oui.vki. Francis Jorimx.—A correspon dent ol the West Chester Republican urges the nomination of Col. Jordan for Governor by the next Union State Convention. He says: "It may not be improper that the inquiry, who is to be our next Governor, should now engage the attention of the people. Although several names have been occa sionally spoken of in connection with this of fice, and different candidates have been some what urged by their friends, it has hitherto been deemed injudicious to agitate this ques tion, as it might have distracted attention from the questions of great importance invol" ved in the late canvass. That is successfully over, and the principles upon which and for which it was conducted are shown to be deeply imbedded in thehearts of the people. They have again manifested that the mere politicians whose influence inay have controlled them when the subordinate considerations which shaped parties years ago were to be passed upon, have do weight wheu the integrity of the Union was before them; that after the Union has been re-cemehted with blood, they are not to be deceived into the support of men, who, though now thinly disguised in the garments of patriotism, have just laid aside the polluted clothing in which they had been assaulting the Government. . The friends of Col. Francis Jordan, of Bed ford county, have supposed that, in all res pects, he would meet the wishes of those who desire that the position in which the late elec tion left this State should be maintained. The interests of the commonwealth would be sub served and advanced under an administration of which he might be the bead, and the stand ing which she has had amongst her sisters, in peace and in war, would continue pre-cini nent. Col. lordan is in the maturity of life, being about forty-five years of age,—a lawyer by profession, he has for years held a command ing place at the bar of Bedford and Somerset counties, amongst men of no mean legal ac quirements and reputation. He served in the Senate of this State for three years, ending with 1857, and was in the foremost ranks then, which is to be esteemed no 6mall commendation when some of its oth er seats were then filled by Judge Wilkins, Charles B. Penrose, and Glenni W. Scofield. In the session of 1857, he ably filled the post of Chairman of the Judiciary Committee' the most important position next to Speaker. Probably to his influence, skill, and exertions more than to that of any other Senator, is due the passage in that body of the bill for the sale of the public works. Private considerations, much to the regret of his constituents and the public, called on him to decline a re-election, and he remained in the practice of his profession until the breaking out of the Southern treason in 1861. Then, without his solicitation or knowledge, he was appointed Paymaster in the army and served with self-denial and fidelity for nearly three years, principally in the South-eastern States. Upon the solicitation of Gov. Curtin, about two years ago he took charge of the Military Agency of this State at Washington. How laboriously and successfully he has filled that office, the records of the military department of Pennsylvania and of the Uni ted States will show. The gratitude of many a soldier and soldier's widow and mother will testify to the kind attention and sympathy with which their desires have been met in that, agency. From the beginning of our struggles with the traitors, Col. Jordan has left no doubt of his unconditional loyalty. His experience, ability and untiring indus try, give assurance that the affairs of state would be skillfully matiaged under bis direc tion. Even above all these are to be placed a character for high morality and purity—a{irm and intelligent integrity, which would secure the Commonwealth against the wiles or as saults of the corrupt. The memory of none of the eminent men who have occupied the Executive chamber in this Commonwealth, would suffer anything by association with the name of Francis Jordan. A GRAND THIEF AND SCOUNDREL. —John Hammond, of Sharpsburg, Blair county, was arrested and lodged in jail several weeks ago, on a charge of theft, preferred by Henry Muck, of Woodberry. Hammond, while on a'spree,' rifled the drawer in Fluek's bar-room of a S2O greenback and several bills of a less denomination. An effort was made by coun sel to release him from jail. Esquire Bren nenian, by whom he was committed, directed a Liberate to the Sheriff, commanding that officer to deliver the prisoner before him. Deputy Sheriff McCauslin took the prisoner out in obedience to the writ, and bail was en tered tor his appearance at the last term of our Court. On the same night Hammond stole the horse upon which Deputy McCauslin had carried him to Woodberry, and lett for parts unknown. He was followed to his home at Sharpsburg, where all trace of him was lest. He next turned up at Freedom, Blair county, where he sold the horse for S3O: from there he made his way to the oil regions, where he was discovered and re-arrested. Deputy McCauslin proceded to Franklin, found the bird safely caged, put on him a new set of irons, and returned here, with the clever scoundrel, on last Friday evening, and lodged him in jail for a second lime. In the oil regions, we learn, lie passed himself off as a United States detective, and succeed ed in getting the run of the police, but it didn't save him. * DEATH OF REV. WESLEY M.

Tnstri'mexts.—There is a feeling j generally among persons about to purchase musical instruments, that were they in Phila delphia or New York, they could select from a number of instruments a better Piano or Cabinet Organ than they can buy from an agent. Mason & Hamlin, in order to meet this feeling, have established a number of larger agencies, where they keep a large num ber of organs of tho various styles, so that persons can have the same advantages in buy ing that they could in the cities or at the Manufactory. The undersigned has one of these larger agencies, and keeps constantly on hand a variety of the various styles of Cabinet Organs, from which persons wishing can'make as good a selection as were they in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, thereby saving the freight from either of those places, as his prices are precisely the same as in Philadel phia or in Pittsburgh, or the Manufactory, Boston. A player is at the store room constantly, who will perform on the instruments, and exhibit their various powers aud qualities, show the different stops aud their combina tions, and explain their internal construc tions. I also keep on hand a fine selection, of Pi anos from the celebrated manufactories of Steinway A Sons, New York, and Gaehle & Co ? Q.j Boltiuoro, whioh I s©l! ot Factory pri ces.' Persons ordering an Organ or Piano by let ter are assured that as good an instrument will be sent as if they were here to select it personally, the subscriber consi deriog him self bound by honor and interest to select and forward none other than the very best of the style ordered. The subscriber is anxious to put into the hand of every one, whether they intend purchasing an instrument or not, a copy of the Cabinet Organ Circular, which contains a vast amount of interesting musical information, and will send free, post-paid, a copy to any one desiring it.
