POINTS, Sec'y. To 01R PATRONS. —At the beginning of the business year we desire to call the attention of our patrons to a few facts having an impor tant bearing in determining the success or failure of our effort to publish an improved and useful paper. It is not quite a year since we took charge of the Inquirer. Since then we have spared neither labor nor money in our effort to make an acceptable paper. It is with our friends and patrons to determine whether we shall be enabled to continue and improve our paper or whether we shall be obliged to let it fall back to its old standard. We invite the attention of all who feel an interest in the progress and general improve ment of our county in morals, intelligence and prosperity to the following facts. We are to day publishing a larger paper than is published in almost any other county of the same wealth and population in the State. We publish a larger amount of entertaining and • instructive reading matter and general news than almost any other county paper of the same size in the State. We carefully exclude everything of an immoral tendency from both our reading ard advertising columns. We also exclude from our advertising columns all medical nostrums and cards of quack Doctors gift enterprises, Ac, and all patent medicines not known to be reliable. The exclusion of all these entails upon us a very heavy addi tional expense, from the fact that instead of being paid for standing advertisements, which require setting up but once-in two or three months, we are obliged to pay for filling the same space with new matter every week. We have made these sacrifices during the past elevon months at a heavy pecuniary loss in the belief that the intelligent, religious, mor al, law abiding members of the community would lend us their aid in so good a cause and justify our course, by their encouragement and aid in increasing our circulation and pat ronage. There are large numbers of our peo ple taking city papers, many of them filled with the disgusting and licentious details of police courts, the immoral advertisements of quack doctors, the alluring temptations of gift establishments, Ac, all designed to lead the young and inexperienced astray, rob them of their money and corrupt their morals How many who would be horrified at the idea of recommending, the gambler, the debauchee the libertine or any other pest of society, as associates for their sons and daughters, con sider through nine-tenths newspapers of the day, they bring the same influences into direct and constant contact with the minds of their children at a period when the youthful mind is most susceptible and when the influ ences brought to bear on it, to a great extent, shape the character of the future man or wo man for life? Thus much for the social in terests. Our political course shall be in the future as iu the past, a fearless advocacy of the great cause of human right, liberty and •progress, and an independent criticism of public men and measures, without fear or favor. We shall at the same time advocate the nomination in our own ranks, for office, of sober, hones t, intelligent men and oppose, to the extent of our ability the nomination of all others, to this end and for the furtherance of the above named objects we ask the assis tance of every good and true man in the ranks of tLe Union party in extending the circula tion of our paper. We are now entering up on a most important political campaign, in which are to b* elected a State and County ticket. The result in Pennsylvania will be regarded as either the justification or rebuke of the noble men in Congress, who are now standing up for the right of all men to the protection of their persons and property,and in the county it is to bo determined whether the reckless expenditure of the hard earned mon ey of the lax payers shall be continued for another year. Our terms are $2.00 in ad vance ors2.2sifpaid within sixmonths, $2.50 'f not paid in six months and $3.00 if not paid '•' ithin the year. Campaign paper from June ! T, 1GO, until the close of the campaign 65cts, Per single copy; 10 copies, $0,00; 20 copies SIO.OO. fiSl. ]he Soldiers' Monument Committees 1 'i the various districts are earnestly requested to push forward their work as rapidly as pos s'hie. liecollect that a report is expected from each committee by the *'• SUFERJNTKNDKNCY Of COMMON SCHOOLS.— The School Directors of Bedford county will convene at the Court House, in this borough, ■ oa Tuesday, the Ist day of May, to select a person to fill the position of Superintendent of < ommon Schools of Bedford county for the ensuing term of three years. There has been very little attention given to the sub ject outside of those who are immediately in terested in the success of the respective can didates. Why this is the case we are not prepared to say, certainly there is no offiee within the gift of the people in which they should manifest a deeper interest. Upon the shoulders of the County Superintendent rests the work in a great measure of civiliza tion through the diffusion of a higher intelli gence. We are not over-rating the matter; a gopd Superintendent will bring about good schools; and generally out of bad comes worse. Bedford county has enjoyed the ad vantages of an excellent Superintendent for the last three years. Give us one equally as good and we will be content, Mr. Dickerson has been a faithful public servant and while we have differed widely from him politically, we are compelled to accord him that praise which is so justly his. Unfortunately for the interests of intelligence and progress in this county, every office from the highest down to township auditor partakes of a political character. Our opponents, through the lib erality of the Republicans, generally have a decided majority of the Directors and their first question is. Does the candidate belong to our Party? If this is answered in the affirm ative the other qualifications are of minor importance. This is very much to be deplor ed. Every School Director should be sworn to the faithful performance of his duties and every such oath should contain a clause for bidding the exe seise of sectarian or political prejudices in school selections. The candidates who will be submitted to the next convention will be J. C. Long, Henry W. Fisher, J. W. Hughes, and Rev. H. Heckerman. There may be others, but we have hot heard their names used in con. nection with the office and, therefore, cannot announce them. THE WOODBERRYOIL EXCITEMENT. -TheWood berry people appear now to be as thorough ly excited in regard to the oil business as the bulls and bears were at the rapid advances of the premium on gold at the breaking out of the war. We have no desire to discourage them but we cannot help suggesting that it were well if they exercised their calm judg ment instead of "going it blind" to use a popular phrase. Every individual that you meet has two or three leases to sell of the best territory for whichhe only asks the trifling sum of hundreds. But as far as we are con cerned let the oily Mammon run his course. We have no particular objection. If people will be excited let them enjoy the advantages of the calm when it does come. Some have been disposed to be vexed with us because we have hinted that it might not genuine, we are sorry for this, as we only meant to suggest to those who furnish the funds that they had better look before they leap. Speculators, it will be reccollected seldom furnish the whore withal to work, if they do, they generally make it off of some one not half as sharp as they are. A TEEIBLE LEAP. —A gentlemen from Mich igan, engaged in the fruit tree buinegs, has been confined to his bed with typhoid fever, at the Bedford Hotel, for the last ten days or two weeks. On last Monday night his mind became very much deranged and he concluded that he was in the grasp of mur derers. He succeeded in getting out on the porch and endeavored to escape, he was, how. ever caught and returned to bed. Sometime in the morning, about three o'clock it is sup posed, the attendant was under the necessity of leaving the room and apprehending that his patient might again endeavor to es cape, he locked the door; on his return a few minutes later he was horrified at finding that the inmate had escaped through an open window, from which he jumped at least fifteen feet to the ground. Search was instituted for the lost man but he was not found until day light, when he was discovered on the portico attached to the residence ofHon. W. P. Schell pulling the door bell. Mr. Schell's family being absent there was no one to hear him. He was returned to bed and on examination very little injury was detected. DISTRICT POLITICS. —The following remarks on District politics from the Fulton Republi can, are equally as applicable to Bedford as to Fulton county. It is evident that we can only get the Senator or the member, we can not get both, and with this potent fact before our aspirants we caution those, who would by some trick secure a nomination, against any. thing hinted at by our neighbor. Let hones ty be the base of all nominations: In this Senatorial and Legislative District there are already quite a number of aspirants for nominations in the L r nion party. For the Senatorial nomination, Somerset county has two candidates, Bedford one, and, probably two, and this county will undoubtedly present one. For the Legislative nomination s, Som erset presents two candidates, Bedford two, and probably three, and Fulton three. This county will get either a Senatorial or Representative nomination. The three coun ties are given one Senator and two Represen tatives. The Senator at present is from Bed ford, and the Representatives from Bedford and Somerset. The claims of Fulton county for one of the three nominations are conced ed by the District. The county convention will nominate a can didate for both Senator and Representative, so wili the other county conventions in the District. Our candidates will select three Senatorial and three Representative conferees so will the other counties in the District. Three candidates for Senator and three for Representatives will be pressed by their res pective conferences. But one candidate for Senator will be nominated and but two can didates for Representatives. We tnay get the Senator; we may get a Member. We cannot get both. Harmony in the party is essential to suc cess, and it becomes all honest Union men, whether aspirants or not, to do their utmost to preserve the party organization intact, and to that end, it is the duty of the Union voters of the county to treat the claims of each and every candidate fairly and impartially. Every reasonable man will concede the right of a voter to announce himself as a candidate for office; no honest Union aspirant will refuse to acquiesce in the nomination of the party. Believing that the treachery of President Johnson may cost us some votes in the district and exp acting that the last Copperhead and Conservative vote will becast against us, and having the success of the principles and can didates, whoever they may be, ot the Union party at heart, we venture the following ad vice to our friends in this county: Do not electioneer for Member at the expense of Senator. Do not electioneer for Senator at the expense of Member. Form no "ring" with Senatorial candidates in either Somerset or Bedford counties, whereby a Member will be thrown to this county. Form no "ring" with Representative candidates, whereby a Senator will be given us. Treat every man fairly, and renumber successful aspirant, thai the votes of your defeated opponent's friends are necessary for your success. Mrs. Tate and JMiss Rea have just opened one of the best selected stocks of S ancy Goods that have ever been presented to the admiring ladies of this place. Call and see them without delay. S. E. Henry & Co. of Huntingdon, are prepared to furnish potatoes, fish, groceries, dry goods, and every thing usually offered for sale to the public at the lowest cash prices. See advertisement. RELIGIOUS. —The Holy Sacrament will be celebrated on Sabbath the 22nd inst., in the M. E. Church in Schelliburg, at 10 o'clock, A. M. Preparatory services on Saturday evenng, by Rev. J. H. McGiarrah, Pastor. Geo. Blymyer & Son are about moving their tremendous Hardware store to the corn er, formerly occupied by Mrs. Sigafoos and latterly by Mrs. Stewart where they have fitted up a mammoth store room which is surpassed by very few in this section of Pennsylvania. These gentlemen manifest the most commen dable enterprise and deserve the liberal pat ronage of the entire community. Advertise ment next week. NEW POOR HOUSE.— The Poor Directors at their last meeting it is currently reported, resolved to build a new Poor House. The paupers ought to get up a grand torch-light procession in honor of the Directors who have the enterprise and the humanity to advocate such an important measure. Bedford county has long been disgraced by the present insti tution; may we never look upon it like again. A CAHD. EDITORS OF THE INQUIRER. —As my schol ars and friends of Bedford and vicinity are all solicitous to know my politics, I will, (with your permission,) tell them that I was always a Republican and shall remain one as long as I have my full senses. S. S. FORNEY, Teacher of the Boydstown School. Bedford, Pa., April 12,1866. THE SOUTHERN" PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.— In the Register of March 31 we gave our views of ''the Southern Pennsylvania Rail road as we see it." We have since derived in formation which satisfies us that we were in error in supposing that the road would termi nate in a junction with the Pennsylvania Railroad at Briuton's Station, eleven miles east of Pittsburg. On the contrary the plan is to cross over from the Youghiogheny river at an eligible point to the Monongahela river and pursue the latter to Pittsburg, there to connect with the direct route to Steubenville, Columbus, Indianapolis, etc. The occupation of the Monongahela river valley above McKeesport, (where the Pitts burg and Connellsville Railroad abandons the Monongahela to follow the Youghiogheny,) is a strategic idea of the first importance, since it will put the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad in possession of the Monongahela valley for half the distauce from Pittsburg to the West Virginia State line—a consideration of especial significance. It also puts the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad within short and easy reach of the borough ofWashington whence the Hempfield Railroad is in opera tion to Wheeling. From the spot where the Southern Pennsyl vania Railroad may first strike the Mononga hela, a branch road may be built along the Monongahela and one of its tributaries to Waynesburg, in Greene county, whereby that isolated and secluded but teeming and propi tious county will have opportunity to greet the locomotive and enjoy the facilities of the time table. The impatience of Southwestern Pennsyl vania for railroad communication with the tidewater cities is natural and commendable. And as the plan of the Southern Pennsylva nia is exactly adapted to the necessities and the interests of the southwest counties, it should commend the co-operation oftha peo ple of that important portion of the State. —United States Railroad and Mining Regis ter. MARRIED. In Bedford township, on Thusday, April 5, 1866, by Rev. W. Gcphart, Mr. WM. i!. HART ZELL, to Mrs. TILLIE BRIDAHAM, both of Bedford township. DIED. At his residence, near schellsburg, April Ist, of pneumonia, JAMES ALLISON, Esq., aged 68 years, 4 months, and 14 days. His death was sudden and unlooked for. His health had been failing for sometime, but nothing serious was apprehended until within a week of his death. In his death the community sustained a loss not easily repaired. Magnanimous and public spirited, he ever strove to enhance its interests. He was emphatically a self-made man, and a teacher for over forty years, when he withdrew "to give place to younger ones." He was a staunch friend of both public and Sabbath schoole, temperance, law and order. Conscien tiously opposed to human slavery, he ever raised his voice and hand against it. In the great strug gle through which the country has just passed, he ever stood firm for the Union. He saw two sons go forth to do battle for th right—one of whom only returned from the hospital, nine hours before his death, and that with one limb off. He was very anxious to live until his children would reach home, three of whom wore absent, and his desire was gratified. As a husband ho was faith ful and devoted; as a father indulgent and affec tionate; an upright christian and a kind neighbor. While his prayers ever ascended for the "down trodden and oppressed, the widow, the fatherless, and the orphan," his hands were cxtendvd to aid, and his voice to encourage them. No beggar ever left his door unheeded. His death was peaceful; at the hour when he was want to retire to rest, he closed his eyes as if in a gentle slumber, and woke no more on earth. His afflicted family is comforted bo the thought that: "There is no death. An angel form Walks o'er the carr.h with silent tread, He bears our best loved things away, And then we call them "dead." "But ever near us, tho' unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life— there are no dead." April 12, at the residence of her daughter, at New Paris, Mrs. MARTHA HEWITT, in the 88th year of her age—mother-in-law to the above. She was born in Adams eo., but moved to this county nearly sixty years ago. She lived a wid ow fifty-three years and four days. Few persons, of her age, retain their mental and physical pow ers to a greater extent than she did. Her death was sudden, having only been sick about twenty four hours. She was, for over thirty years, a member of tho Baptist church, and a few hours before her death remarked that "her way was clear." "May she rest in peace." In Broad Top township, Bedford county, on the I7tb of March, GEORGE E. PINCHEON, aged 3 yeans and 26 days. Also on the 28th of March, GILMER PINCHEON, aged 4 months and 20 days, sons of William and Lueinda Pincheon. BEDFORD MARKET. " [CORRECTED WEEKLY.] BEDFORD, Pa., April 19.
