Bedford, May 25.1866.
IMF' On last Sabbath evening the Kev.
ROBERT F. SAMPLE, Pastor of the Presbyte
rian Church of this place, delivered a fare
well discourse to his congregation. For some
time past his health has been feeble, and in
September last, hoping to recruit it, he visi
ted Minnesota and remained there for several
weeks. Whilst there he preached to the
congregation of St. Anthony, and, of course,
they, like every other people that have heard
him, were pleased with him. The result was
that a unanimous call was given him, which,
however, he declined. During his 6tay there
his health was much better than it had pre
viously been, and, the call having been re
newed this spring, he concluded to accept it
—his experienced and eminent physician ad
vising him to do so—and he requested Pres
bytery to dissolve the pastoral relation be
tween him and the church here, a request in
whieh the church joined, and to which Pres
bytery consented solely for the reason that
they believed that his health would be im
proved by the change. Mr. Sample has been
the Pastor of the church here for more than
ten years and has served it with great faith
fulness and acceptableness. and during all
that time his walk and conversation have been
such as to eominend the religion of the Bible
to his fellow men. ''Christ and him crucified"'
have been, through all that period, the prom
inent theme of his discourses. The text of
his valedictory was Acts 22 c. 31st and 32d v.,
■changing the word ••three" to "ten," and
seldom do we see in Bedford such a crowd in
the house of God as was assembled to hear
him. Not oniy were the members of the
Presbyterian congregation there to listen to
the last words of their beloved Pastor, but
every other denomination was strongly rep
resented, for he has won as well the love of
his own people as the esteem of the members
of other churches anil of our citizens general
ly. The sermon was a most excellent and
impressive one that will be long remembered
by ail who beard it. A deep feeling of sad
ness seemed to pervade the hearts of all
preseut, and we do not suppose that there
was an individual in the house who does not
regret that this faithful minister, christian
gentleman, and good man has left us. Al
though we are attached to a different brauch
of the church we cannot but wish that he
could have remained with us, for he did much
good here. He has gone to a wider field of
usefulness, where we trust his health may be
restored, and his labors abundantly blessed.
DISK.VKECTANTS. —In cleaning up their prem
ises and preparing for the hot weather of the
summer months many persons are not only
willing but desirous of getting some reliable
disinfe •'ant. but know not what to get no r
where to apply for it. The cheapest and
and safest of all disinfectants are quick lime
ana sulphate of Iron or Copperas. Lime is
particularly useful for white-washing cellars
aud sprinkling floors as it destroys the fungi
of almost every variety that vegetate iu damp
and dark places. It cellars are carefully
cleansed from all filth and decaying vegetable
matter, swill,Ac.,and lime plentifully applied
to both walls and floors and provision made
for good ventilation, they may be regarded as
about as safe as it is possible to make any
underground rooms. Copperas is the cheap
est and most effective disinfectant for water
closets, privies, drains, foul floors, Ac. It
should be used in the proportion of about
three pounds dissolved in a gallon ofl water
and sprinkled freely wherever offensive odors
are detected, thus used it will speedily neu
tralize nearly all noxious gases. Chloride of
lime is an active antiseptic frequently used in
sick rooms, especially in diseases considered
contagious. IT every housekeeper would
keep on baud and frequently use these simple
preventives, days and weeks of weary suffer
ing, innumerable doctor bills, and many val
uab'c lives would annually be saved.
Is IT ALL OVEB, — We urged upon the offi
cers and citizens of the borough some time
ago the necessity of a general cleaning up
throughout the town and the inauguration of
such sanitary regulations as might afford us a
reasonable cliance of exemption from a visi
tation of cholera. The result was a large
c r op of good resolutions, considerable talk of
w 'hat ought to be doue, and the removal of a
few heaps of dirt from the main streets. The
resolutions were good and enough of them*
'' is sometimes said a thing begun is half
dene, the beginning of the cleaning up was
by no means of this kind, it will require a
number of such beginnings before the proper
' leaning up of the streets is anything like
haif done. What has become of the visiting
and smelling committees for the examination
of alleys, cellars, backyards &c. —the noxious
swells that already salute our olfactories from
14 number of alleys, taking no account of
backyards- and cellars, gives unmistakable
evidence that the committee have not yet fin
ished their labors. Are the borough officers,
committer and all, waiting for a few cases of
cholera to wake them up?
SAD ACCIEEXT —DEATH or A FORMER CITI
ZEN- OF THIS BOROUGH. —It Becomes our
painful duty to record the death, by accident,
at Monroeville, Indiana, on the 30th ult., of
our friend and former townsman Wilson P.
Mower, son of John Mower, Esq. of this
place. V\ e clip the following account of the
accident and the accompanying tribute
respect, from the Ft. Wayne Daily Dem
ocrat ot the 31st tilt.
THE ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. —It is told us
thai Mr. Mower, who was killed at Monroe
ville, yesterday, was standing on the side
track. and a freight train backing down struck
some loose cars which by the concussion
were prop>elled back struck Mr. M. so as to
knock him over on the track, cutting him
nearly in two. The citizens of Monroeville
held a meeting and the following resolution
of condolence was passed :
MONROEVILLE, May 30, 1866.
The citizens and many friends of W. P.
Mower assembled at the Town Hall to pay a
tribute of respect to the memory of the
deceased.
G. Webster was called to the chair.
On motion of J. G. Morriotte, G. Webster
and E. G. Coverdale was appointed a com
mittee to draft resolutions expressive of the
sentiments of the meeting.
The following was submitted and unani
mously adopted :
WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God in
His unsearchable providence to remove from
our midst our much esteemed friend and
neighbor W. P. Mower, therefore be it
fie voiced, That in the death of W. P.
Mower, our town has lost a valuable citizen ;
we a friend and obliging neighbor. A gen
tlemanly and efficient Railway Agent, and
that while we deplore the loss of our friend,
we deeply sympathize with his bereaved wid
ow, who has lost all she held mo6t dear on
earth. To her the loss is irreparable, the
tie that bound two loving hearts is broken.
Resolced, That a copy of the above be
presented to the bereaved family.
G. WEBSTER, Chairman.
The remains of the deceased were brought
home by the family and interred in the cem
etery , on Sabbath afternoon last.
How TO AVOID THE CHOLERA. —The New
York Saturday Press gives twenty directions
on this point to its readers. We select the
majority of them:
Endeavor if possible to keep a clean con
science, and two or three shirts.
Whenever you have nothing else to do,
take a bath.
Rise with the lark, but avoid larks in the
evening.
Be above ground in all your dwellings and
above board in all your dealings.
Love your neighbors as yourself, but don't
Lave too many of them in the same house
with you.
Eat when you are hungry, drink when you
are thirsty, and sleep when you are sleepy;
but he careful what yon eat, what you drink
and where you sleep.
Avoid public conveyances, even if you are
driven to the necessity of making use of your
legs and walking two or three miles a day !
Avoid long dresses, (this, to the women)
and leave the sweeping of the streets to the
city contractors.
Tell the doctors that "whenever they come
within a mile of your house, they are wel
come to stay there all night.'"
Don't get scared before you are hurt —nor
even then.
Make your will.
HERALD OK HEALTH.— We have just receiv
ed the .June number of this excellent, journal.
A new volume begins with July. The pub
lishers promise not only to keep up to the old
standard but to improve the new volume as
will be seen from the following prospectus :
"We intend to make the Herald of Health
a first-class journal, whose pages shall be scat
tered like the leaves for the healing of the
nations. It will be valuable not only for its
suggestions on Dieteics, Materia Medica,
Physiology, Education, Physical Health, Mor
al Reform, and whatever relates to the phys
ical and intellectual nature of man. but for
the vigor aud purity of its diction. We baTe
added to our fist of contributors the names of
the following distinguished writers : Horace
Greelv. Henry Ward Beecher. Rev. Dr.
Forthingbam, Theodore Til tun. Rev. E. H.
Chapin, Alfred B. Street, Wra. 11. Burleigh,

Lewis, F. B. Perkins, Moses Coit Tyler of
London and others. Contributions from sev
eral of these writers will appear in the July
number.
We want the help of all our old subscribers
and friends everywhere to extend our list.
We do not believe there is a parent in the
land, who has children to rear to manhood in
strength, beauty, and purity, who will not
find the Herald a most valuable assistant ; an
invalid who will not gain information from its
pages, or a student who will not learn much
to assist him in preserving and properly edu
cating his body. Our motto is: A higher
type of manhood, physically, intellect ually
anil morally. Let subscriptions be sent in at
once.

Gait HAMII.TOX has in the press of her
publishers, Messrs. Ticknor A Fields, Bos
ton, a new volume specially adapted to sum
mer reading, and bearing the taking title of
"Summer Rest." Most of the articles in
this volume are now for the first time printed,
and will be fonnd equal to any of the author's
most brilliant essays. Halicarnassus appears
again on the carpet; and his exploits in the
way of gardening and other domestic matters
are made very amusing. Gail Hamilton is
never dull. Possessed of a sharp and ready
wit, speaking boldly, and that too upon topics
wherein women have been supposed to have
but little interest, she has already gathered
about her an audience, which, by its hearty
appreciation of her writings, attests the truth
of many of her convictions. The success of
her various volumes of essays has been with
out a parallel; in fact she is the most success
ful writer of the day.

JITTER WINE OF IRON.
An exquisite preparation of dry Span ish Wine
with the activity of CALISAYA BARK, and the
most energetic of all the ferruginous 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 zest to food,
improves digestion, increases the strength, stead
ies the circulation, takes ofl muscular flabhincss,
removes the pallor of debility, gives firmness and
precision to the actions of the nervous system,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 Protoxide
ok Iro.v, in place of the Ammonia. It is neutral,
tasteless, without astringcncy, 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 strengthener or
restorative, nor rival as an anti-periodic.

The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch Hewing
Machines are superior to all others for the follow
ing reasons:
1. They sew direct from tho spools, aad require
• no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and used,
and less liable to derangement than other ma
chines.
3. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other machines.
| 4. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed,
than any other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which *
the under thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump and beautiful in us*, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles,frequent
ly washed and ironed until they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a
few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel,
but remains firm and durable.
7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation.
8. With these machines, while silk is used upon
tho right or face side of the soam, cotton may bo
used upon the other side without lessening the
strength or durability of tho seam. This can bo
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched or made op with silk. „
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of
adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
