SOLDIERS' CONVENTION. —The Soldiers'
Convention, which was held in our town, on
last Saturday, demonstrated the earnestness
with which our soldiers are pressing the equal
ization of bounties among themselves. The
Court House was filled with the heroes of
many battles. Col. Filler stated the object
of the meeting. The following organization
was then effected:
President—Col. AI.EX. COMPHER.
Vice Presidents—Captains N. C. Evans, T.
11. Lyons, John Horn, John S. Stuckey.
Secretaries—John T. Keagy and Alexander
Lyon.
The following gentlemen were chosen a
Committee on Resolutions:
Joseph C. Long, Bloody Run:
Lieut. John B. Helm, Bedford:
" Jacob Ketring, M iddle Woodberry;
" C. P. Calhouu, E. Providence;
" John Swarts, Snake Spring:
" Levi Smith, Bedford tp.;
Espy Gallighcr, Schellsburg.
During the time that the Committee on
Resolutions were withdrawn a few brief re
marks were made by several gentlemen, upon
the justice aud equity of the measure, which
they were assembled toconsider and urge for
ward.
Mr. Long then reported the following reso
tions:
Resolved, 1 hat we hold it to be the duty of
the Government to make a just equalization
ot bounties, so that all who have served in
the war against rebellion, veterans and draft
ed men alike, may receive a fair compensa
tion for their services, and that we will sup
port no man for Congress or for the State
Legislature, who will not unequivocally de- i
clare in favor of such a measure.
Resolved, 1 hat the almost illimitable pub
lic domain, stretchiug to the Pacific, should
be allotted in homesteads to those who per
illed lite and limb in preserving it from the
grasp of the rebels.
Resolved. That the present allowance to
the wounded veteran, and to the widows and
orphans of those who have fallen in battle is
altogether inadequate to their support, and
we ask in their behalf that a gene-rous and
wealthy government will make ampie com
pensation for them in the future.
Resolved, That in order to obtain the full
measure of justice from the Government, the
soldiers should organize, and press their
claims upon all proper occasions, until they
are fully satisfied.
Resolved. That we expect in accordance
with the oft repeated ple'ages and assurances
made in time of war, that the claims of those
who have faithfully served in the field, will
not be overlooked in the bestowal of politic
al favors in times of peace.
Resolved. That Col. Lewis A. May, Major
l>. IV. Mullin, Capt. S. Stuckey, Capt. S. S.
Metzgar, and Sergt. Scott W. Hughes, be the
ohosen delegates to represent the interests of
the soldiers of Bedford county in the Sol
dier's Convention to be held at Pittsburgh,
on the sth of June next, c-ach of these dele
gates allowed the power of substitution.
It may not be amiss to notice that the Re
publican Brass Baud, under the leadership of
Prof. Hohman, complimented the meeting
with its presence and favored it with some of
the choicest music that can be found any
wheie in this section of the State.
EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIES. —The Ho use
of Representatives on the 25th ult., passed
the bill equalizing bounties of soldiers, sail
ors and marines, who were engaged in the
late war. There were only two votes against
it on the call of the yeas and nays, Messrs.
Nicholson, of Delaware, and Trimble of Ken
lucky. There was little or no debate on the
bill. It provides in brief, that to every sol
dier, sailor or marine who has been or may
be honorably discharged from the service
there shall be allowed eight and one-third
N dollars per month, or the rate of one hun
dred dollars per year for all time which
they served between April 12th, 1861, and
April 19th, 1865, and in case they have been
discharged from the service on account of
wounds received in battle or while engaged
in the line of duly, the said allowance of
bounty shall be computed and paid up to the
end of the term of service for which the en
listment was made. In case of death of any
while in the service, or in case of death after
discharge, and before the end of the term of
enlistment of discharge, on account of being
wounded, the allowance of payment shall be
made to his widow if she has not been remar
ried; or if there be no widow then to the minor
children of the deceased who may be under
sixteen years of age. In computing and as
certaining the bounty to be paid there shall
be deducted therefrom all bounties already
paid or payable under existing laws by the
1 nited Slates, or by any State, county, city,
town, or other municipal organization, or by
*)• voluntary association, so that in no ease
shall the aggregate amount of bounty allowed
and paid from all sources exceed eight and
one-third dollars for each mouth of actual
service, or at the rate of one hundred dollars
peryeai. No bounty is to be paid to any
substitute or to any soldier discharged on the
ground of being a minor or to any rebel deser
ter who enlisted in the United States army.
*o assignments or transfers of bounties are
to be permitted. The passage of this bill by
the Senate is regarded as extremely doubtful.
1 Ue only objection to it is a financial one.
A careful estimate shows that it would not
take less than two hundred millions from the
Treasury.
TEMI'SIUNCE CONVENTION. —The regular
Quarterly Convention of the I. O. of G. T.

The Convention sat with closed doors dur
ing the morning and afternoon sessions. The
business transacted was mostly of a private
nature, belonging only to the members of the
order of Good Templars. The objects of
these Conventions is to bring persons togeth
er from different parts of the district to con
sult with each other and devise the ways and
means best calculated to further the interests,
and tend to the advancement, of the temper
ance cause. This Convention was the best
yet held in this District, and we have no
doubt much good will follow as the result of
its deliberations

ford on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 1866. Officers.

Before adjourning, the following resolu
tions were adopted:
WHEREAS, In its inception and early pro
gress the temperance reform was mainly a
religious movement, and in all its history it
has been greatly promoted by the Christian
ministry and Christian Churches.
Resolved, That this Convention invites and
expects all good men and good women to
unite, and be active workers in the promotion
of the cause: aud it seems to us not improper
to look again to the Christian Church to be
again foremost in devising the means, and
directing the agencies necessary to protect
her membership and society from the evils
ot intemperance.
Resolved, That we iuvite the co-operation
of our judges, lawyers and all good citizens in
our efforts to put down the curse of intem
perance and the trafiic in ardent spirits.
Resolved , That the thanks of the delegates
to this Convention are due, and are hereby
tendered to Chimney Rock Lodge and the
citizens of Hollidaysburg, for their kindness
and attention during the period of the Con
vention. Also, that our thanks are hereby
tendered to the Commissioners of Blair coun
ty for the use of the Court House.
STII.L ANOTHER EXTRA NUMBER. — The
American Agriculturist for June completes
half of the 2oth volume of this sterling jour
nal, and like all its predecessors this year, is
of extra size—the first half of the volume
containing 240 large pages, instead of the
regular 192. The half volume also contains
about 2-50 original engravings of a pleasing
and instructive character. The publishers
promise that the second half of the volume
shall be at least equally valuable. Nothing
but an immense circulation, running up well
towards 150,000, we learn, could enable them
to furnish such an immense amount of useful
reading matter, and so many costly engra
vings at the marvelously low price of $1.50 a
year. None of the $3 or $-1 magazines excel
the Agriculturist in costly and carefully pre
pared matter, useful to all classes of persons.
The June number, of which an advance copy
is before us, is replete with information. A
splendid engraving of the "First Proof Sheet"
graces the title page. The Calendar embra
ces many practical hints about the work for
the month. The "Basket" contains over a
hundred condensed articles on a multitude of
topics. The various swindlers preying upon
the country are as usual, with an
unsparing pen. The "Walks and Talks upon
the Farm," are full of practical information
from the daily life on* a farm of 300 acres.
The Farm, Garden, Household, and Children
and Youth's Department, are also lull of
practical information, illustrated by engra
vings. Every number of the Agriculturist
(costing but 15 cents,) is worth a year's sub
scription, which is only $1.50. All subscri
bers desiring them, can have the back num
bers oi the volume, as the paper is electro
typed. A dollar-and-a-half can not be bet
ter invested than in securing the present vol
ume (the loth, or Quarter-Century volume,)
of the American Agriculturist. Address

SOLDIERS' CONVENTION.— The Soldiers'
Conventiou was very numerously attended on

were made by Col. Filler and John T. Keagy,
Esq. Col. Lewis A. May, Maj. D. W. Mul
lin, Capt. John S. Stuckey, Capt. S. S.
Metzger and Scott W. Hughes, were elected

which will assemble in Pittsburgh on the 6th
instant. The Republican Brass Band was in
attendance and discoursed excellent music.
The Conventiou was very harmonious and
adjourned with much good feeling.
ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE. —Mary
Barnhart, of this place, attempted to commit
suicide, on last Friday, by taking a large dose
of laudanum. Site was discovered a few min
utes after hating swallowed the poison, and
medical aid called in and the necessary -elief
administered. She has fully recovered. We
have not learned the cause which induced the
wretched girl to resort to this means of self
destruction.

A HOI'SEHOI.D BLESS UF4. —Among the arts
and inventions of the day, the most import
ant are those which contribute to the saving
of labor and the protection of health. View
ed in thiß light the Sewing Machine occupies
a prominent position, not only from its hu
manitarian characteristics, bat from its adap
tation to all classes. In the drawing-rooms
of the rich it is an ornament and a pastime,
while to those in humbler circumstances it is
a fruitful resource, a faithful friend and ben
efactor. The men who have been instrumen
tal in giving to the world the benefits of the
Sewing Machine, have accomplished a noble
work, and among their number GROVER <k
BAKER are entitled to special distinction.
These gentlemen are the patentees of what
are known as the "Elastic Stitch,' and the
"Lock Stitch" machines. The Grover &.
Baker ' 'Elastic Stitch" Machine is prefera
ble to any other, for the reason that it is more
simple in its construction, more efficient, more
easily operated, and less liable to get out of
order. We have been at some pains to speak
advisedly on this matter, and have no hesita
tion in pronouncing it incomparably superior
for domestic purposes to any other instru
ment. Wa are sustained in this high esti
mate. Wherever these machines have been
exhibited in competition with others, both in
Europe and America, they have elicited the
same encomiums. The proprietors have la
bored, to incorporate in their magnificent in
vention the highest merits of which the Sew
ing Machine is susceptible, and their efforts
have been crowned with success. — Philadel

THE LADY'S FRIEND, FOR JUNE. —This su
perior magazine leads off with a suggestive
steel plate called, "The Mother's Blessing,"
illustrating a romantic story. The fashions
are distinguished as usual for elegance and
appropriateness. Airily graceful and deli
cately gay, they befit the month of roses, of
summer skies and soft south winds. "The
Music Mistress," a good wood cut, also illus
trates a story. Then follow some well chosen
designs which the ladies will find useful, a
Gored Dress, an Oriental Braiding Pattern,
The Spanish Fichu, Grecian coiffure, fash
ionable caps and bonnets. "The Old Family
Clock," occupies the musical pages. Among
the stories, "Which of the Two" is remarka
bly good, even for the genius and practised
pen of Louise Chandler Moultou; "Strategy,"
by Emma B. Kiplev, is excellent, and so is
"A New Bud on an Old Stalk," by Frances
Lee: and "Sybil Ainsworth," a continued story
by Harris Byrne; "The Amber Spirit," is a
short and striking article, with a quaint illus

INVESTMENTS in enterprises which have for
their object the development of our national
resources are at all times commendable, and

been taken to place before the public the

WINE OF IRON.
An exquisite preparation of dry Spanish Wine
with the activity of CALISAYA BARK, and the
most energetic of all the furruginous salts, CI
TRATE OF MAGNETIC OXIDE OF IRON.
It has a vinous flavor, very grateful to the palate,
is without chalybeate taste and will not discolor
the teeth.
It excites languid appetite, gives nest to food,
improves digestion, increases the strength, stead
ies the circulation, takes oft muscular ilabbiness,
removes the pallor of debility, gives firmness and
precision to the actions of the nervous systeiu.with
power to endure fatigue and resist disease.
MAGNETIC CITRATE OF IRON is new
and peculiar, differing from the ordinary Soluble
Citrate, in containing an equivalent of FKOTOXUIB
OK IKON, in place of the Ammonia. It is neutral,
tasteless, without astringeney, as prompt and en
ergetic as the Chloride, and unlike 'hat, induces
no local inflamatory action or headache.
CALISAYA BARK is pre-eminent among veg
etable tonics, has no equal as a strer.gthener or
restorative, nor rival as an anti-periodic.
Retails in $1 & $2 bottles, Quarts and Gallons
for dispensing. 0. S. HUBBELL,

Theodore Cuyler, Esq., Robert D. Coxc, Esq.
Americaus are proverbial for tlfe aridity ard
commendable real with which they participate in
enterprises having for their object the develop
ment of our national resource]. At one time
"Railroads"—at another "Coal"'—then "Copper"
or "Iron" and more recently "Oil" have been the
all-absorbing topics.
In all these several enterprises, as will be recol
lected, those who FIRST took hold of them made
money ; some larger amounts than ethers, accord
ing to their investments.
Mining operations in the fields of Colorado and
elsewhere note mainly engross the public atten
tion. Considering that several such companies
have been already organiied—they are now at
work—that the reports from their mines are high
ly favorable —that it is known that at the present
time there are on the way from the ledges of Ne
vada and Colorado numerous "bars of silver" and
"bricks of gold," it is believed that the enthusi
asm already manifested on the subject will, in a
little time, be so gTeatly increased on the recent
and exhibit of these "returns," that innumerable
companies will spring up, whose stork, being bas
ed at the then greatly inflated prices of ledges,
will necessarily be less desirable than that now to
be had—thereby giving to those #he avail them
selves of the occasion now presented, of securing
"original interests;" an opportunity of tin, uis.
posing of the large amount of stock each holder
receive*, at a handsome advance.
With these preliminary remarks the following
Prfpeett s is respectfully presented.
Tbo property of the Company propose# to be
organized by the sale of these "original interests,"
consists of the following Ledges, all situated with
in a radius of live miles of Central City, Colora

This Is to certify that I have carefully examin

am satisfied that they are perfect.
THOMAS MASON, Attjr at Law,
Central City, Colorado.
The space of a circular is too limited to give
the opinions of numerous distinguished citizens
and men of science who have examined this dis
trict ; the following extracts relate thereto, and
that of Professor Edward N. Kent in particular,
of the New York U. S. Assay Office is directly in
point:
Our late lamented President —Mr. Lincoln—du
ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative
to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, Ac.,
said: _ '
"I have very large ideas of the mineral wealth
of our nation ; I believe it practically inexhausti
blc."
The Hon. J. P. Vpsher, Secretary of the Inte
rior, in the Ojficiul Report presented to Congress,
dated Deeember sth, 1864, referring to the then
present condition of our Western Territories, says:
"The wealth embedded in the rocks of that extcn
siva region is actnally inexhaustible, and it will
furnish in future years, indirectly a principal
part of cur means of liquidating the debt con
tracted by the Government for the overthrow of
the Great Rebellion."
The Hon. H. P. Bennett, delegate in Congress
from Colorado, in a speech before the House of
Representatives said: "Judging from what I
know of the undeveloped resources of this coun
try; from what I am told by practical miners who
are well informed upon this subject, I do say hem
to-day before tbis House and before this Country,
to be placed upon the records and read of all men
—that within five year's time, and by the year
1569, the gold fields of Colorado Territory will
produce $50,000,000 annually : and even then its
full resources of mineral wealth in gold alone re
main not wholly developed. 1 speak from the
united testimony of many practical miners who •
have spent many years in the mines of California,
when I say :—that the gold-bearing region of
Colorado is far more extensive,quite as inexhaust
ible, and the gold-bearing quartz of a much richer
quality than in California."
Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New York
Assay Office, says:
"As to the extent of the gold mines of Colora
do, I am not prepared to give an estimate, as I
found enough to fully employ my time within a
radius of five miles of Central City, [the location
of the above Ledges,] but as to the richness of
THEM, I have no hesitation in saving, that I 6c
liere thtm to 6c fAc rickeft erer rfirtoptrerf. With
deience, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Coloro
so is destined in my opinion, to rival or supersede
California and Australia, and become the El Do
rado of the World.'*
The opinion entertained by those abroad of
claims in this district, is shown by the following
extract :
English capitalists have purchased £600,000 of
the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and
employees are now en route to develop the same.
The claims are principally Russell and Trail
districts, and a recrtitlfuirdhase has been the Sea
ton Lode of 1000 fiet for which they paid £IOO,-
000.
An idea Of'life value of some claims (100 feet
each) maybe formed when the fact is considered
that often occurs that they yield millions of dol
lars, anddiave in several instances been sold for
825,000 per foot. Mr. Fields, from 334 fGet of the
Cobtail Lode has taken out already over $200,000
in gold, and $266,000 has been offered and refused
for 344 feet of this same lode, equal to
for a claim of one hundred feet.
As the purchase of either of the above lodes
would require more money than the majority of
persons have at command-, it has been determined
to consolidate them, and to divide them iato
Twelve Hundred and Fifty
ORIGINAL SHARES

ONE HUNDRED DOI.I, IKS EACH.
thus affording the man of limited means, as well
as the capitalist, an opportunity to secure an in
terest in this region of "practically inexhausti
ble" wealth.
As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for
the development of such a property i* to form a
company and issue certificates of stock. The
plan here proposed may be considered prelimina
ry to the formation of two or more Companies on
these properties' which are subject to no royalty,
lease or mortgages.
The SUBSCRIBERS can then upon this solid and
substantial basis, elect o®cers.from among them
selves, each subscriber being eligible to the posi
tion of an officer of the Company.
In order that handsome returns may bh speedily
realized, these subscriptions arc based upO'fi the
proposition that the subscribers immediately on
receipt of the Deeds (now ready for delivery, and
which may be examined at the office of the un
dersigned* before subscribing,) may lease their
lands on heavy royalties, or at once organize
Companies in the usual way for which there is an
ample basis.
To accmhmoda'fe those of moderate means
these "interests" are put at SIOO each, in order to
get the lst filled at once, and to prevent any delay
in the organization of the Company.
Considering the num'erous valuable "Lodges"
which constitute the bati* of this enterprise—the
fair and equitable features —the low prices at
which "interests" In it are offered, and that each
interest entitles the holder to his pro rata share
of stock in all the Companies that may be organ
ized upon them —also recollecting that in all,
there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and it
would only require one hundred gentlemen each
to take ten ($1600) to absorb the whole, it is pre
sumed that it is hardly necessary to suggest to
those desiring to secure ohc or wore of these orig
inal interests, to at once send in their subscrip
tions.
Checks or Draits should be drawn to the order
of the undersigned, whose endorsement will be a
receipt, in addition to the one that will be prompt
ly sent on receiving them.
United States 5-20's —10-40's —7-30'* and other
Government Bonds taken at par, and any premi
um or accrued interest therein allowed. Bonds
