IMPROMPTU OYSTER SUPPER. —The Mite
Society of the M. E. 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. *

j * MrsicAi. 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.
