Is IT NOT SO?. —If you have a wife
and children is it not a pleasant thought
that you will hand down to future genera
tions a complete description and a perfect
record, with likenesses of yourself and them?
This is the reflection that those persons enjoy
who have secured a "Photograph Family
Record."
MCSICAI.. —The only REEL) instrument
that the celebrated Pianist GOTTNCHALK.
will itseor recommend, is Mason & Hamlin's
Cabinet Organ, and of them he says:
"Tour Cabinet Organ is truly a charming
instrument, WORTHY of the high praise it
has received, and EAR SUPERIOR to every
thing of its class I have seen."
11. M. Greene the agent for this county
has constantly on hand at his Music Store,
Huntingdon, Pa, a full assortment of these
instruments and also of Steinway & Son's
Pianos which he sells at Manufacturer'a
prices. DR lIICKOK of our town we are
pleased to learn is Mr Greene's agent in
Bedfcrd County and Circulars and informa
tion in full can he had of him upon applica
tion.
NEWSPAPORIAL. —There has been a num
ber of newspaper changes which we have
neglected to notice up to the present, and
while we have our hand in we shall notice all
those that present themselves to our recollec-
T. B. Penniman, Esq., formerly of the
Ilonesdale Republic, has assumed charge of
the Pittsburgh Gazette as editor in chief. The
Gazette has also been enlarged and improved.
We take pleasure in recommending as one of
the best and most reliable political journals
in Western Pennsylvania.
Benj. Bennan, Esq., of the Miner's Jour
nal, at Pottsvills, proproses to issue a daily
as soon as he secures a press. Success to
him.
P. C. YanGelder, late of the Williamsport
Bulletin, joins M. H. Cobb in the publication
ot that staunch republican journal, the Agita
tor, at Wellsboro, Pa. They intend to en
large.
The Pittsburgh Daily Commercial has been
enlarged and materially improved. It is now
one of the largest daily papers in the State,
its proprietors manifest great enterprise in
giviDg it an extensive circulation. It ap
pears to have the run of the cars both East
and West of Pittsburgh. We have found it
difficult to get any other journal. We are
sorry that its go-aheadativeness does not war
rant it in keeping up with progressive princi
ples.
The Chambersburg Repository comes to us
very much enlarged. It is now in its seven
ty-third year. It is certainly one of the most
ably conducted political papers in the State.
There are very few county papers that exceed
its circulation.
Whitaker retires from the Huntingdon
Journal, and K. McDevitt, is supposed to be
his successor. There has been, also, a change
011 the Monitor , but it would require a daily
edition of the Inquirer to regularly announc e
the changes on that paper. We are led to
believe that both the Monitor and Fulton
Leviocrat are used as infant schools in which
to drill Copperhead editors for better posi
tions.
The responsibility of the Shirleysburg Her
ald devolves upon Ben. Lutz. We hope that
Benjamin will be able to bear up nnder it.
We wish him abundant success.
BOUNTY AND COMMUTATION. —We are
frequently asked whether any provision has
been made to equalize the Bounties to vol
unteers who volunteered in 1861-2. To all
who interrogate us upon the subject we are
compelled to answer that Congress has made
no such provision, but a bill is now before
the Committee on Military affairs in the
bower House. looking to that end. In the
meanwhile we would warn our veteran
friends against selling or in any manner
disposing of their discharges. We are
confident that Congress intends to do justice
to those brave men, who in the early part
of the rebellion with a pure love of country,
and without, the hope of pecuniary reward
forsook their peaceful pursuits to protect
the sacred flag of the free when it was as
soiled by the red hand of treason, by properly
recompensing them for their sacrifices. When
Congress does so we will inform those en
titled to receive under it. We have, also,
been frequently asked in regard to the re
funding of the $3OO commutation paid by
those who were aftewards drafted and went
into service or put in substitutes. To those
we answer that at present we do not know
that the Department has decided to refund.
Me will inform our friends when we re
ceive the determination of the Depart
ment. In the meantime any person desiring
us to attend to procuring this Bounty (in
case Congress passes a law equalizing them)
or to secure the ret uuding of the $3OO, can
" ave their papers with us and they shall

THE FOREIGN QUARTERLIES.— The London,
Edinburgh, North British, and Westminster
Quarterly Reviews, republished by Leonard,
Scott & Co., New York, have been on our
table for some time, and have demanded an
early notice at our hands. These reviews
contain the cream of the foreign critical press.
No one, with the teeming press of modern
timeB,can expect to be well advised of all that
is progressing in the scientific and literary
world without these reviews.
The Westminster for October opens with
an able and exhaustive article upon popular
representation, arguing in favor of its univer
sal extension. The Review adopts Mr.
Hare's theory of representation, which has
attracted favorable attention. Mr- Hare's
theory may be briefly stated thus: He endeav
ors to obtain a fair representation of minori
ties: giving to all electors in proportion to the
numbers of the respective parties, a voice in
the public deliberations, instead of the repre
sentation of majorities prevailing in localities
leaving defeated minorities without represen
tation. For illustration the counties of Bed
ford, Somerset and Fulton seud two represen
tatives to the Assembly, of a particular par
ty, leaving unrepresented a large minority.
Mr. Hare's theory is intended to obviate this
inequality, and he would extend this repre
sentation until so large a vote is obtained as
would include and group these fragments and
minorities together by going beyond the dis
trict to obtain a representation. Under the
present system in a representative govern
ment, if one interest or party be predominant
in twenty constituencies, twenty members
may be elected to represent these majorities,
although the minorities may amount to a num
ber not far short of the successful majorities.
In each of the districts one vote might deter
mine the election, and twenty votes might
determine twenty elections, leaving thou
sands of electors without a representation.
Locality is not essential to this theory. Every
elector is at libeity to vote for whomsoever
he chooses, and every representative then
has a unanimous constituency. We have not
space to dwell longer upon the numerous de
tails of the plan, but would refer our readers
to the article in question and to the work
of Mr. Thomas Hare. The remaining arti
cles are: Rationalism in Europe; Capacities
of Women; Palgrave,s Travels in Arabia; The
Holy Roman Empire; The Doctrine of Na
tionalities and BcheswigHolstein;Mr. Grates'
I'eatos Letters from Egypt.
We note the contents of the others as fol
lows:
London Quarterly Review , for October,
(Conservative): "Cathedrals of England,"
"The Mariners' Compass," "The Resources,
Condition and Prospects of Italy," "The Po
etry of Praed and Lord Houghton," "Blind
People," "Field Sports of the Ancient Greeks
and Romans," "The Gallician Church,"
"The Russians in Central Asia."
Edinburg Review, (Whig): "Journal and
Correspondence of Miss Berry," "Life in the
Criminal Cases," "The Rock-cut Temples oi
India," "Life of Carl Maria Von Weber,"
"Campbell's Frost and Fire," "Posthumous,
Writings of Alexis de Tocqueville," "Pal
grave's Arabia,i' "The Crotnwellian Settle
ment of Ireland," ''Sir Thomas Wyse's Pe
loponnesus," and "American Psychomancy."
THE ELECTIC. —The first number of the
new series of the Electic is on our table.
Those who are familiar with Littell's Museum
and Living Age, will understand the scope of
this periodical. As its name indicates, it is a
selection of the best articles from the Period
icals of Europe. The selections are made
with rare judgment and taste. The frontes
piece is an exquisite engraving ot Shakes
peare with his family at Stratford reading the
tradegy of Hamlet. The leading articles are
the Dante Commemoration, from the London
Quarterly; some reminiscences of Leigh Hunt
the poet andpolitician, and Coleridge the mat
aphysieian,- witty, humorous, pretty women of
the time of Horace Walpole.
Our "YOUNG FOLKS" is without a rival in
its claims upon the patronage of the young.
No more pleasing present for New Year
could be made to our young folks. The mat
ter is full of interest and instruction to the
young, and it will awaken a taste for reading
and study, that might otherwise never be
aroused.
The December number of BLACKWOOD'S
MAGAZINE is on our table. The number opens
with part IV of the memoirs of Herr Von
Borcke, Chief of Stall'to Gen. J. E. B. Stu
art, of the Confederate army. The author
formerly belonged, as his name indicates, to
the Prussian army. He tells bis stery very
well, but bis statements must be taken cum
grano sails. He is the hero of innumerable
daring personal adventures, from which he
always magages to extricate himself with con
summate skill. Take the following as a spe
cimen of his style, and of the disposition to
spin a good yarn which we have mentioned.
The style is that of the inimitable Baron Von
Trenck:
"One of the Yankee officers, who as I was
later informed, was the colonel of the regi
ment that had effected its escape from Har
per's Ferry, had attracted my attention the
previous day by his gallantry and the excel
lent dispositions he made of his troops. Here
1 saw him again, galloping very near us on a
handsome grey horse, quickly discoverning
our weak points, and posting and instructing
his men accordingly. After having left him
undisturbed for some time, I thought it neces
sary to put a stop to his proceedings, and se
lecting a conple of my infantry who had been
pointed out to me as the best shots, I made
across the open space in front of our lines
directly towards him. Having arrived with
in reasonable distance, I ordered my sharp
shooters to fire at the daring ceionel, who
was moving along at an easy gallop, without
paying me the slightest attention. After sev
eral bullets had whistled quite close to him,
he suddenly halted, and, turning round, ad
vanced a few steps and made me a military
salute in the most graceful manner possible.
Then calling out to one of his men to hand
him a carbine, he raised the weapon, took a
deliberate aim at me, and sent his ball so
close to my head that I thought it had carried
away a lock of my hair. I saluted him now
on my part, and, wheeling round quietly,
both of us rode back to our respective lines.
So courtesies are sometimes exchanged in
the midst of hostile conflict."
The remaining articles are Miss Marjori
banks, part XI; The Handy Horse Book, &c.
HARPER KOR JANUARY. —We have neglected
to notice this excellent number of Harper.
The British Route to the Pacific is the sub
ject of the opening article, and it is probably
the most admirably illustrated paper ever
contributed to a magazine. The illustrations
are full pictures, giving a good and interest
ing panorama of the graud western scenery
that greets the eye throughout the route.

186H, (T. S. Arthur & C 0.,323 Walnut street,
Philadelphia,) presents us with a more than

and successful management of the Cemetery

THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1868.
Our most momentous, arduous struggle having
resulted in the triumph of American Nationality,
the utter discomfiture and overthrow of Secession
and Slavery, THE TBIBUNE, profoundly rejoicing
in this result, will labor to conserve the legitimate
fruits of this grand, benignant victory by render
ing Liberty and Opportunity the common heri
tage of the whole American People now and ever
more.
Discountenancing all unmanly exultation over
or needless infliction of pain or privation on the
upholders of the lost cause, it will insist on the
earliest possible restoration of the Southern States
to their former power and influence in our Union
on the basis of All Rights for AH their People.
It will labor in hope to prove that the substitu
tion of Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and
universally conduee to the increase of Industry,
Thrift, Prosperity and Wealth, so that the South,
within the next ten years, must look back amazed
on her long persistence in a practice ao baleful as
the chattelixing of Man.
It will labor for the diffusion of Common School
Education, Manufactures, the Useful Arts, Ac.,
Ac., throughout every portion of our country, but
especially throughout the sections hitherto devoid
ol them, believing that every good end will there
by be subserved and the interest of every useful
and worthy class promoted.
It will urge the Protection of Home Industry
by discriminating duties on Foreign Products im
ported, with a view to drawing hither the most
capable and skillful artificers and artisans of Eu
rope, and the naturalizing on our soil of many
branches of production hitherto all but confined
to the Old World, while it would strengthen and
extend those which have already a foothold
among as.
It will give carelul attention to progress and
improvement in Agriculture, doing its best at
once to bring markets to the doors of our farmers
and teach thein how to make the most of the op
portunities thus afforded them.
It will devote constant attention to Markets, es
pecially for Agricultural Products, with intent to
save both producer and consumer from being vie
