SAVE VOIR MONEY. —If our subscribers
who are in arrears for subscriptions to the
IKQCIRER, desire to save money, they can do
so by paying up before or at the February
Court, as we intend charging all who are in
arrears after that time $2,50 and those who
do not pay withiu the year, $3.00 while
all those who pay up at or before that time
will be left off with $2,00. We are compell
ed to this course because we are too heavily
involved to lay out of our money two or three
years, We want to do every thing for our
patrons that we can consistently and
in return they must pay up promptly.
Paper, ink, labor, rent, count up to almost
fabulous rates, and we must beep close ac
counts. Take our advice and save the EXTRA
um.t.AR. Two dollars per year to-day are
worth more to us than three can possibly be
three or four years after this even if we do
only make half aliviug. SAVE YOCR MONEY.

Henry Hutton, has opened a Shoe Shop in

WHERE ARE OUR BOROUGH OFFICERS ?—lt
is a remark frequently heard from strangers
and visitors, that though a pleasant country
town, Bedford has notoriously bad pavements.
Bad as they are, the almost universal neglect
o: the citizens to keep them clean, makes
ten times worse, what at the best was scarce
ly less than a nuisance. During the present
winter it has been almost impossible, for a
week after each fall of snow, to walk two
squares in any direction without getting wet
feet, unless fortified with gums. \V C don't
know vhetber there is any borough ordinance
or not, requiring pavements to be cleaned
tnd kept in repair, but if there is it should
h enforced, and if there is none, the sooner
wo Vare one the better. Let us have one at
j et j t r jgid|y enforced, and per
*P S ' 'Njay not too late yet to redeem the
creditol town.
CJUT. ROBT. A. GIBSON.— We copy the
following complimentary notice of our gallant
townsman, Capt. Robert A. Gibson, and the
12th lowa, from an lowa paper :
1 he veteran 12th lowa Infantry is mustered
out, and the "boys" of compan# G are with
us once again. Company G has seen over
four years of service. The company was first
commanded by Capt. Tupper, then by Capt.
L. D. Townsley, and finally by Capt. R. A.
Oibßon, who is mustered out with his com
rades, and returns to cheer by his presence
hosts of friends. Robert went not only a
youngster, but the noble elements of charac
ter combined in his nature have developed
him into the brave and accomplished military
officer. The Davenport Gazette gives a brief
history of the brave 12th, which we here an
nex :
It participated in the battles of Fort Don
aldson. Shiloh, at the siege of Corinth, battle
of Corinth, Jackson (two battles of different
dates) siege of Vicksburg Brandon, Tupelo,
White River, Nashville, Brentwood, siege of
Spanish Fort, and many skirmishes. At
Shiloh the regiment was almost entirely bro
ken up—almost the entire command with the
Colonel, taken prisoners. It was one of the
regiments surprised on the first day of the
battle, holding an advanced position. Sub
sequent to the battle of. Shiloh the remnant
of the 12th constituted a part of the famous
Union Brigade. In 1882 it received a suffi
cient number of recruits to again constitute
it an independent regiment. It lost five hun
dred men at Shiloh—only five hnndred men
remained, and of this uumber only about 12
men fit for duty.
"The l'2th became a veteran regiment in
December, 18(13. The whole number of men
borne on the rolls of the regiment from the
dateof its organization has been 1477. This
shows a loss trom all causes of 1,024 !
"While in service the number of miles the
regiment marched was 2,250 and by railroad
and steam boat has traveled an aggregate of
over 12,000. It has been under fire 108 days
and 100 nights.
"Since the termination of the war the 12tb
has been doing garrison duty in Alabama—
and gladiudeed were the veterans to escape
from the dull routine where no powder was
to be burnt, nor fighting to he done.''
THE TRIAL OF RILEY FOK THE MIRUER OF
CRAWFORIL —This case came up for trial at
the late Session of the Oyer and Terminer*) f
Blair county, we learn from the Hollidaysburg
Register and resulted in the conviction of the
accused of Murder in the second degree. His
Honor Judge Taylor, on the arraignment of
Rilev for sentence, addressed him thus:
It becomes our unpleasant duty to pass the
sentence of the law npon you. This duty is
always to us an unpleasant one, but it is es
pecially so in a case like yours, when we are
called upon to sentence a young man, who
has a wife and little children dependent upon
him for support, and who must suffer with him
although not participants in his guilt. The
verdict of the jury fixes your guilt as murder
in the "second degree," and it is now in the
discretion of the court to decide on the ex
tent of your punishment, which must be im
prisonment in the penitentiary, for a period
not exceeding twelve years. That discretion
is to be exercised in view of all the circum
stances surrounding the commission of the
crime. We are here constrained to say that
this court entirely approves of the vardict of
the jury which convicted you. And although
it seems clear, that you did not contemplate
taking the life of Jaines Crawford, or perhaps
inflicting upon him even great bodily injury,
still you gave way to passion which if allowed
to control when excited by trivial causes, and
with out provocation, is malice. It seems
from the evidence that you sought a quarrel
with the deceased, and that you assaulted
hiin in a most cruel and savage manner like a
wild beast, and took his life. It also seems
that after the fatal act, you manifested every
evidence of sorrow and regret for it. In view
of the whole case, we do not consider it a
very aggravated one, of murder in the second
degree, and therefore not one which merits
the extreme penalty of twelve years. We
sympathize keenly with the bereaved family
who suffe: most from yonr rash act. We also
sympathize with your own unhappy family
who will suffer by your crime, and you can
not fail, when yon reflect on the terrible re
flect on the terrible results you have brought
abought about to suffer the severest pain.
Your conduct hereafter, if it be such as to
show your penitence, may recommend your's
as a proper case for the exercise of execu
tive clemency; our duty as ministers of the
law is now to pass sentence npon you, with
as much leniency as is possible. The sen
tence is that you mav pay a fine of one dollar
and the costs of prosecution, and undergo an
imprisonment at separate and solitary con
finement at hard labor in the Western Peni
tentiary for a period of six years."
Go, most certainly they will, to the ceme
tery lecture on Tuesday evening next, all who
feel any interest in either the improvement
of the cemetery, or in the encouragement of
agreeable and instructive entertainment.
How much better to spend the evening and a
few cents thus, than loafing round rum shops
and spending money for what inevitably de
stroys sooner, or later, mind, bodv and char
acter. Yes let every one go. and we have no
doubt they will return feeling that their time
has been profitably as well as pleasantly oc
cupied and that besides being entertained and
instructed they have contributed to the en
couragement of a commendable enterprise
NOTICE FOR THE MUSICAL. —Mason AHam
lin's Cabinet Organs are the only instruments
that hnve the "Automatic Bellows Swell,"
and they having it patented no other makers
PARE use it. Persons wishing organs should
be careful, therefore in purchasing, as agents
selling an INFERIOR article, invariably repee
sent it, to be as good its Mason A Hamlin's
when no one else can USE their " Automatic
Bellows Swell ," the very thing that makes
their instrument so much superior to those of
any other maker.
We would advise any of our readers who
think of purchasing, to visit the music store
of B. M. Greene, Huntingdon, Pa., agent for
this County, where can be seen a full assort
ment of these very fine instruments and also
Steinway A Sons' Pianos.
Dr. Hickok is Mr. Greeu's agent for Bed
