IXSTALEATIOX OF OFFICERS. —On Wednes
day evening, January 31, 1866, the Bedferd
lodge, No 148, of the Independent Order of
Good Templars, was organized in this place.
Ine following officers were installed to serve
for Ike present quarter:
W. C. T. William Gephart, W. V. T. An
n D. Shuck, W. S. J. Reed Yeager, W. T.
P. H. Shires, W. A. S. Lizzie Bollinger,

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.

rito tl:e Honorable Judges of the Court of Quar-
JL ter Session of Bedford county, Pa.
The Grand Jury at February Term, 1566, res
pectfully submit the following report : After a
careful inspection of the Poor House of the county
aforesaid, We are cf the opinion that the Build
ing in which the paupers are kept i 3 in a very bad
condition and totally unfit for the purpose for
which it is intended, because the house in addi
tiomo the decay seems to be too small for the
comfortable quartering of the paupers and way
farers that con'inually crowd it. 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.
All of which is respectfully submitted this

rnO the Honorable Judges of the Court of Quar-
I ter Sessions of Bedford county, Pa.
The Grand Jury at February Term, ISBG, Res
pectfully submits the following Report of the
Jail of the County aforesaid as follows :
The Locks and Keys in our opinion are insuffi
cient for the safe keeping of Prisoners.
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.
The Rear wall of the Jail Building on the out
side is being much injured in consequence of the
bad condition of the spouting, the wall receiving
water from the roof, rendering it measurably easy
for prisoners brcakin g through and effecting their
•scape.
It is also noticed that one Room is used for
smoking Baton. Rendering it extremely danger
ous from fire.
A Coal house is also situated against the wail of
the Jail building in the rear yard, and other rub
bish.
Allot which is respectfully submitted, this four
teenth day of February, 1866.
