Sebfort Inquirer. BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, FEB. 23, 1868. UNION STATE CONVENTION. A State Convention will be held in the Hall of the House of Representatives, in Har risburg, Pa., on Wednesday, the 7th day of March, A. D. 1866. at I*2 o'clock M., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Gov ernor, to be supported by the friends of the Union. The ordeal ol war has tried the strength o our Government. Its fire has purified the nation. The defense of the nation's life has demonstrated who were its friends. The prin ciples vindicated in the field must be preserv ed in the councils of the nation. The arch enemy of freedom must be struck once more. All the friends of our Government, and all who were loyal to the cause of the Unien, in our late struggle, are earnestly requested to unite in sending delegates to represent them in said Convention. By order of the Union State Central Com mittee. JOHN CESSNA, Chairman. Attest: GEO W. HAMERSLEY, } SECRETARIEB . A. W. BENEDICT, J ADVERTISE! ADVERTISE!

SAVE YOCR MONEY. —if oar subscribers who are in arrears for subscriptions to the INQUIRER, 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 within the year, $3.00 while all those who pay up at or before that time will be left off with.>2,oo. 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 keep close ac counts. Take our advice and save the EXTRA DOLLAR. 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 a living, SAVE YOUR MONEY. LADIES, GET MARRIED, but before you do get a "Photograph Family Record," in which to record your marriage. There is a blank clergyman's certificate in it. FATAL ACCIDENT. —George McOee, a mi ner, was instantly killed at the German Ore Bank, near Bloomtield Furnace, on last Fri day, by the sudden giving away of a drift. B@„ Why injure your eyes by poor lights, when good Lamps, Beautiful Shades, and the best Coal Oil can be purchased at LEWIS' Drug Store. THE SECOND LEUTUKE ot the course (for the benefit of the Cemetery Association) will be delivered ou next Tuesday evening, at the Court House, by the Rev. A. ESSJCK. Sub ject—"The Two Records of Creation; or; Moses and the Geologist." Sfigr During the present week a Special Court for the trial of causes in which Judge King was concerned has been in session. Judge Taylor of Huntingdon presides and gives great satisfaction to the bar and all oth ers having business in the Court. His pro found knowledge of the law; unflagging pa tience and pleasant manner eminently quali fy him for the position of President Judge, which he has so ably filled for many years in the 24th district. How i.osu SHALL IT CONTINUE ? Nearly five of the six days of Court were takeu up with prosecutions in the Quarter Sessions. This has been the case to a greater or less extent during the last three or four Terms of Court. These prosecutions have nearly all arisen from one or the other of two causes, drunkenness, and desertion from the military service during the rebellion. The county will have to pay for the investigation of riots, assaults Ac., growing out of drunken brawls as long as the present indiscriminate granting of liquor licenses to all applicants without regard to the character of the applicant con tinues. There is no remedy for this evil but to deal sternly with all applicants for license and refuse every one who has been guilty of auy violation of the law either before or after license, as well as. all who have been guilty of keeping disorderly houses, selling to minors Ac. If our ministers wish to help the good cause by lifting up their voices against this vice they must be careful not to let themselves down so easily as to turn apol ogists for the evil they undertake to denounce. We may look tor an indefinite continuance of deserter's brawls, as long as. men are found who in open Court will countenanse the car rying, by the cowardly miscreants who fled to the caves and the mountains or to foreign lands to avoid their country's service, of con cealed weapons to resenc every crook of the linger or sneering word that falls from the lips of the gallant soldier, when he sees those miserable poltroons, parading their treason as if proud of it. The men who failed in their duty to their country in the hour of her peril, must never expect to command the respect of honorable men. The disgrace will not only ding to them while they live, but to their children and their children's children, like it did to the tories of the revolution. I'he laws will protect t hem in their persons and property, which is more than they de serve. More than this they cannot expect, and the sooner they accept the position and become reconciled to their lot, the better it yjiLliymiiiili iiiiii ilr rrtiirnrv COURT PROCEEDINGS.— The following were the list of cases in the Quarter Sessions at the last Term: Commonwealth vs. Jacob Rinard—lndict ment for Larceny, on oath of Jos.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH OK ISAAC HCTTON.— On Tuesday 30th ult., Mr. Isaac Hutton, a well known and respectable citizen of this piace, drove into the country with his wife, on a visit to Mr. Jacob Myers, near Marion. As he was about to return home, and while in the act of watering his horse, a one-year colt, which was running loose in the yard, approached him. He struck at the colt with his whip to frighten it away, when it kicked him in the abdomen so severely that he never rallied from the effects of the kick, but died early on Thursday morning. I)r. W. J. Maxwell, from the neighborhood, and Dr. Sen.seny, of this place, were called in, but could render no relief to the unfortunate man. His only son, who lives at Bedford, was immediately telegraphed for, but did not arrive until after his death. His remains were brought to his late residence and inter red in the cemetery of the German Ileformed Church on Saturday afternoon. One of the unfortunate sufferers by the terrible fire which impoverished so many of our citizens, he had rebuilt his house, re-established his business, and by his well-known business capacity would have succeeded in retrieving his heavy losses. But cut down while yet in the vigor of his days, by an unforseen accident, he leaves a young widow and some small chil dren burdened with financial responsibilities which the promise of a long life induced him to undertake. It ia one of the most distress ing consequences of our calamity, that sud den death often adds anxiety for the living to sorrow for the dead. A faithful husband, a kind father, a good neighbor, and an hon est man, the whole community deplores his loss only less grievously than those related to him by the ties of kindred.— tihuntberaburg Hevuiiton. TAXING NEWSPAPERS. —Our neighbor of the Bedford Inquirer wants to know of his neigh bors of the country press, whose circulation don't exceed 2000 copies weekly, are taxed as "Manufacturers," and says, that "he i compelled to make Monthly Returns and pay a Tax of fram one to two hundred dollars per annum, as a manufacturer of newspapers alone." Brethren of the Inquirer ; there must be some mistake somewhere, either in your statement of the trouble, or with the officers who execute the law in your town. Newspa pers, as such simply, Rre not taxable under the Internal Revenue Law—they are special ly exempted in Sec. 96. Publishers of newspapers whose sales ex ceed one thousand dollars per annum, like many others who produce articles not taxable, are to be licensed as manufacturers, and pay $lO per annum. The gross receipts for ad vertisements are also to be taxed 3 per cent, when the circulation of the newspapers or periodical in which they are inserted, has a weekly circulation of 2000 copies. But the job work of a printing office, embracing all cards, circiftrs, bill-heads, Ac., and all sorts of blanks, must be returned, and is taxed six per cent, ad valorem-, and as to the liability in this last particular, the law fixes no mini mum. Therefore, all the U. S Taxes which our neighbors of the Inquirer, simply as pub lishers, are legally bound to pay, (if their cir culation is under 2000 copies weekly, is $lO per annum as manufacturers, and six per cent, on the entire value of their jobbing. So we obey, and so we administer the law, over here in this District. Anything further?—G reensburg Herald. "We would like very much to know wheth er our country contemporaries, whose circu lation do not exceed two thousand copies weekly, are taxed as manufacturers?— Be dford Inquirer. If we understand the matter correctly, we took out a license for the privilege of being an Editor. There were no questions asked about our circulation. The Assesser wished to know if our income was over one thousand dollars per annum. We gave him no satis faction on that head for we hadn't tried it on for that length of period. To make the mat ter justify, however, he charged us $lO for our profession. Mr. Inquirer if you are pay ing two hundred dollars per annum, why its our opinion you are victimized. — Fulton He publican. We called upon our neighbors, a week or two ago, to ascertain whether they shared the same burden of taxation that we do. The above replies satisfy us tbat there is a mis take somewhere, and we want to find ont where it lies. We desire to know whether Mr. Harper makes montnly returns and pays tax as a manufacturer of newspapers? Come, let us hear from you, Mr. Assessor? Are your deputies right or wrong? IN ADVANCE. —Gaysport borough leads the van in the matter of "Equal Rights." At the election last Friday, Major John Thomas, colored, received the highest number of votes for constable. When it is considered that this borough is the pride of the Democracy, the "Little Berks" of the State, always sure for a Democratic majority, the election of Major Thomas is a sign that the world moves. Every Democrat who voted for constable vo ted either for Major Thomas or "Jimmy Gal laher." When the vote was counted the Major had four of a majority. Good for the Gaysport Democracy. The above we clip from the Hollidaysburg Register for the purpose of showing up the professions ot our Copperhead friends They manifest a holy horror for the negro and ne gro suffrage, but when it comes to a prefer ence between a negro and an Irishman, they go the negro blind. It is a well known fact that Gaysport has been "dubbed" the "Lit tle Berks" of Blair; for many years scarce counting its baker's dozen of Republican votes, so that in this instance the Cops are solely responsible for the election of the col ored Major. In a very brief space of time they will be swearing that they were the ori ginal friend of negro suffrage. &S&''Why be sick or diseased when pure drugs and medicines can be procured at LEWIS' Drug Store?

She died as she lived, a faithful hand-maiden of the Lord; a member of the Lutheran Church, a mother in Israel and a friend to all, she bore the heat and burden of the day in her Master's vine yard. Calm and pious in all her worldly inter course, her walk and conversation gave evidence of her christian character, and commanded the love and respect of all who knew her. Living far beyond the three score years and ten allotted to man, her days were measureably filled with trou ble and sorrow, but she bore them patiently to the end. Fall of years she has gone to her reward, mourned by a large circle of friepds; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. A. M.

A large fami ly of nine children, all married except one, can always look with pride to this noble example of integrity, industry, and economy. For nearly one-third of a century, he had added religion to these rare traits of character. His last hours were peaceful and sereue. It may well be said of him, "How blest the righteous when he dies." A. R. MILLER. LUMBER! LUMBER!
