THE COXKBLLSVILLE RAILROAD. —The state ment is made that an offer of $3,000,000 has been made by a prominent capitalist in behalf of the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne road, to ex. tend the Pittsburg and Connellsville road to Cumberland, there to connect with the Balti more and Ohio, thus constituting a new and independent route from Chicago to Baltimore aad also to Washington, as soon as the pro posed line from that city to Point of Rocks i 3 completed.— Exchange. LECTURES. —The fourth Lecture, in the course of Cemetery Lectures, will be deliver ed by Rev. H. Heckerman on, Tuesday even- ing next, the 20th iust. Subject: "National Sports and Popular Amusements." The Lecture by liev. Barrow, on Tuesday evening lust being the second on London and London Life fully justified the expectation rais ed by the first, and was listened to with delight by an attentive and appreciative audience. It gives us pleasure to note the increasing inter est felt in these lectures as evinced by the lar ger attendance on each succeeding evening. Though the attendance has been as large as was expected at the beginning of the course of lectures, there are still many who have never encouraged them by their presence, though they would be both enteitained and instructed, as well as have the pleasure of knowing that they were at the same time en couraging a laudable enterprise and setting a good example for others. Let us have a still larger attendance oa the succeeding lec tures. The Court House should be filled and will be if all attend who ought.. Capt. Frank Holsinger, of the 19th I'nited States Colored Infantry, stationed, aaiil lalely at Brownsville, Texas, as will be earned b.v a letter from him in another part 'if this paper, has been transferred to the freed men's Bureau, and ordered to report to Beaumont, Jefferson county, Texas, for duty. Before leaving for his new field of labor, he *as presented by his command with a splen did oword and belt as a mark of the high respect in which he is held by those over *hom he has been placed for the last two fears. Capt. Holsinger went into the service the breaking out of the rebellion as a pri ve in the Bth regiment of the Pennsylvania Keserve Corps, and for three years he endu red all the hardships through which that his toric organization passed, steadily refusing * n y promotion. When the order for the or- S*nization of the colored troops was promul gated, he applied to the Board of Examin es for a commission as a Second Lieutenant to one of the colored Regiments. Instead of & Second Lieutenancy, contrary to his expec he received a Captain's commission. s toce then he has participated in many bat hes with his troops. Before Petersburg he received a severe wound in the left arm which tr "'ppledhim for life. We predict for him a : rilliant success in his new position. There llv es no more earnest friend of the down trodden negro than Captain Frank Holsinger. SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA ANP CONNELLS | vir.i.E RAILROAD. —WhiIe in Harrisburg a few days since, Senator Householder drew our attention to a bill entitled "An Act au j thorizingthe Connellsville and Southern Penn j sylveoia railway company to construct a rail road from Connellsville to Pittsburg, with branches: extending the time for commen cing, and repealing the limitation as to the time of constructing the main line of said road: authorizing connections with roads chartered by the State of Virginia or Western \ irgmia and changing the time of the annual meeting of the Stockholders of said company" which bill, we were informed, had passed the House of Representatives several days pre viously without any opposition. Part of the second section of this bill reads thus: "That so much of the said act incorporating the said Connellsville and Southern Pennsylvania railway company as limit the time for the con struction of the main line of their road to three years from the passage thereof be and the same is hereby repealed, and that THE TIME FOR COMMENCEMENT OF THE CONSTRUC TION THEREOF SHALL BE EXTENDED FOR THREE YEARS FROM THE PASSAGE OF THIS ACT." This is what we have been expecting for sometime, so that it does not take us by sur prise; but we must confess that we are sur prised that two Representatives, sent especi ally to Harrisburg to guard the immediate interest of the counties of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton, should allow a measure of such vital importance to their constituents to pass without a word of opposition or evena protest. Every intelligent man in the district knows that the Pennsylvania Central was charged with seeking the charter of the Southern Pennsylvania for the express purpose of oc cupying the ground and keeping other parties from putting down an opposition read. So formidable was the opposition to the scheme that it was only passed by embodying a provi so in the bill that the company must organize in ninty days and complete the main line of road in three years. This was a compromise, a stoop to conquer, and having succeeded in getting the charter so much desired the Penn sylvania Central comes back to the body that placed it under obligations to fulfil its con tract within a specified time, when the grea ter portion of that time has expired, and asks the same body to give it as much more time to commence the construction as it before stipulated to complete it in. Glaringand ras cally as this proposition is two representatives well acquainted with the suspicions of their constituents in regard to the good faith of this over grown monopoly, having the best interests of those who selected them at stake, allow this bill to pass without even acquaint ing those most deeply interested. We here say that no legislation could affect the people of this representative district more than this bill. At least eighty miles of this road willjrun through the heart of these counties, entering the eastern border of Fulton and going out on the western line of Somerset, thus directly interesting ninetenth of the entire popula tion. Its construction will dispense millions of money to the citizens of the district and al most every man, woman and child will be benefitted by it. With these truths staring us in the face our Representatives allow this subtle monopoly to diddle away three years at a time to gratify the inordinate avarice of those who only care for themselves. It is time that the people of this district aroused themselves from their unaccountable lethar gy and returned to the Legislature men who have the ability and the decision of character to stand up and defend our interest. No section of Pennsylvania to-day, has greater interests at stake than Southern Peunsylva niaand it is high timethat these interests were properly taken care of. Ifthe Southern Penna. charter were out of the way to-morrow not less than half or dozen companies, com posed of the heaviest capitalist in the land, would compete for the route but here we are tied up like Parhasius to the cold rocks of Mount Caucasus, with the vultures devouring at our vitals, unable to resist, or to break the fetters that bind us. It is due to Mr. Householder to say that he is making every preparation to meet the issue in the Senate. He has drawn up the follow ing substitute for the Section above quoted: "Section 2. That so much of the said arti cle incorporating the said Connellsville and Sou lern Pennsylvania railway company as limits the time for the construction of the main eof this road in three years from the passage thereof be and the same is hereby ex. tended for the period of five years, provided, that portion of the main line situated between Mount Dallas and Buffalo Run, in the county of Bedford, be placed under contract within one year from and after the passage ot this act." We do not expect that this amendment will prevail. All the Pennsylvania Railroad will have to do will be to raise a dust and those who doits work, however dirty, will come to the rescue and force its demands through with out ajar in the music of Legislation. If the bill becomes a law we earnestly hope the Governor will veto it, but we have reason to expect the worst. LEASE OF THE BROAD TOP RAILROAD.—A rumor has been floating about our streets for the last few weeks in regard to the lease of the Broad Top Railroad by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. We have made diligent inquiry in regard to the matter, and find that negotiations are pending between the respec tive Companies, for this purpose. The only obstacle, which has, thus far prevented the consummation of the design has been the rolling stock of the road. The Central Com pany does not manifest a willing to take the rolling stock belonging to the Broad Top Company. But we do not see how this can obviate the contemplated lease, a3 the stock is certainly not of so much value as to interfere with a project of so much import ance to the stockholders of the Broad Top Company. We have very little sympathy for the Central road, nevertheless, we hope this change will be promptly made, as the Broad Top road requires regeneration. SEQUEL TO THE MOORE MAKIJOURO AFFAIR. — Joseph Moore, the man who killed Marbourg some two years ago at Johnstown for improper intimacy with his wife, for which crime he was tried and sentenced to six years impris onment, but was afterwards pardoned, has turned up again. It will be remembered that after his restoration to freedom, he hastened to again embrace his wife, who was the gailty cause of all his troubles, and that together tha two removed to lowa. The story goes that this unfortunate woman, whom surely the devil must have instigated, again deserted her eusband; who ban sunk his hopes almost of heaven for her smiles and eloped with a min ister of the Disciples Church. Moore followed the twain, and meeting his wifes paramour in the street in Chicago his had was once more dyed in human blood. He was for the of fence convicted, and recently hung for the second murder committed by him. * NEW YORK SWINDLING CONCERNS. —We are almost daily in the receipt of propositions from New York swindling establishments, to embark in their lottery, prize jewelry, and other deceptive enterprises, or to advertise their fraudulent schemes for the fleecing of the uninitiated. Against our better judgment we have, on several occasions, admitted these notices in our columns, when vouched for by our responsible advertising agents, but now five notice that, henceforth, our paper cannot e made the medium for circulating such ras cality, and we warn our readers against being deceived by them. We have received a num ber of "certificates," pledging to us gold watches, diamond pins, etc., provided we send forward, in advance a specified anioun t in cash; these articles, generally prove worthless. Another enterprising genius pledges himself to guarantee us a prize of $1,500 in a Kentucky lottery, for the small consideration of ten dol lars to be sent to him by return mail haviug kindly selected us "as a prominent individual in the community to show the Greenbacks.'' This amount at the present time, would place us beyond pecuniary want, but, as we had not just then ten dollars to spare, we notified this friend of humaniiy that he might safely enclose the amount to our address, deducting for him self all necessary and reasonable expenses.— We shall not fail to notify our friends of its receipt but, in the meantime, suggest to them to be wide awake against the trickery of all such swindlers. In unison with the above, chimes iu the fol lowing resolution, in reference to New York advertising agencies, adopted at a recent meeting of the publishers of Pennsylvania:— Resolved , That we have full confidence in the integrity and financial ability ofS. M. Pettingill A Co., and we consider Mather & Co., and Abbot & Co., as unmitigated scoun drels.— Cumberland Union. The above says so well what we intended to say for some time, that we transfer it liter ally to our columns. The experience of the Union is our experience. Almost every mail conveys to our office some scheme of the kind above alluded to, or the proposition of some bogus Advertising Agency. We have long since discontinued receiving offers from these gentry unless accompanied by the cash which never happens. The fools can not, cer tainly, be all dead, or these lottery schemes would long since have proved a burden and their proprietors turned their attention to more honorable employment. We unite with all good people in warning the unguarded and uninitiated against these vile practices at de ception. SANITARY MEASURES. —Now is the time to go to work if we value life, health and com fort during the coming summer. The few days of sunshine have already begun to develop noxious odors from filthy alleys and back yards, that give warning of what is in store for us if we do not jfromptly go to work. The unusual amount of sickness prevailing in our town last autumn was the result, in great part, of the filthy condition of the streets and the town generally. The borough officers seemed to be entirely indifferent and are so still. T-day is the election let the people elect men who will not only attend to this but to the many other duties that have been grossly neglected heretofore. Not only are onr streets at present in an unpardonably filthy condition, but there are scores of back yards and alleys which inthe next few months, unless speedily and thorougly cleansed, will be reeking with noisome smells and noxious vapors and which, in spite of our pure moun tain air, when fugitives from cholera in the cities shall crowd our town in the summer, wil' be a pressing invitation to thatdire pestilence to visit us in our mountain homes. In this as in many other matters an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Let us have an early and thorough cleaning up of streets, alleys, back-yards, sinks, water courses, tc. and we will be secure even from the fear of cholera or any other epidemic. IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS AND THEIR FRIENDS. A number of professed claim agents at Washington have been flooding the country with circulars, offering their services to sol diers or their friends in securing bounty land warrants, upon the receipt of a fee. In order to prevent imposition being practised upon any of our readers, we give place to the fol lowing letter from the Secretary of the Inte rior, received by Eugene Snyder, Esq., in re ply to inquiries made by him relative to the matter referred to: DEPARTMENT OF ISTI nton. 1 WASHINGTON, February 27, 1866. J SIR —In reply to your letter of the 24th inst I have to state that bounty land has not been provided for the soldiers of the war of 1861, and that if you will forward to me one of the circulars issued by the agents here to which yon refer, I will endeavor to correct any mis apprehension or misrepresentation which may seem to exist. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAMES HARLAN, Secretary. To EUGENE SNYDER, ESQ., Harrrisburg. The above is from the Harrisburg Telegraph. This county has been flooded with circulars by scamps who intend to swindle the soldier out of his honest dues. We caution all par ties against having any thing to do with these scoundrels. When Congress makes any pro- I vision for land or additional bounty we will let our soldier friends know it. NEWS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.— The follow ing items we copy from our neighbors: A man was instantly killed on the Penn sylvania Railroad, at SummerhilL Cambria county, a few days since.

It would doubt less be beneficial to the poor (as it iB essentially necessary that another house should bo provided) and also to the taxpayers to have a location re mote from the Borough of Bedford and the turn pike. A Poor House whether it is to be brick or not, and not only this, but in consequence of the filthy condition which the house always seems to be in, is a very excellent source for Epidemics which would spread with great rapidity over this entire community.

The Booms also appear to be detrimental to the health of the prisoners on account of the exist ence, ol an offensive smell, insufficient, and dirty Bed clothing, and torn chaff ticks.
