APPLICATION FOR A XEW POST OFFICE. —
Wc understand that application has been made
to the P. 0. Department for the establish
Hu nt of a post office at Mr. Hunt's, in Cum
berland Valley tp. An office is greatly need
ed in that locality, and we hope the Depart
un nt will grant it.— Gazette.
JS~iT Since the project of establishing a
Steam Tannery at the Foot of lry Ridge has
been started, we hear that Hanks A Co. in
tend to establish a similar improvement at
Bloody Bun. There is enterprise above and
below us, but none in Bedford. Oh when
will the Good Genius stop here? Echo an
swers —••when
CAMI- .—There will be a Caroj
Meeting o>r Bloody Bun circuit, M. E.
Church, held in a beautiful grove, (where
there is an abundance of water.) two miles
south of Bloody Bun, on the road to Clear
ville, to commence August 30th. Ihe au
thorities hope to make arrangements to con
vcy, free of expense, all tents which may
comc up the 11. B. T. Railroad, and as the
company will likely extend the courtesy ex
tended in the past, of passing all tents free
over the road: those who may wish to enjoy
the meeting will have a fine opportunity.
AN individual, named Kepler, Rev. Sam
uel. who "once upon a time" held
forth on the street corners, in the groceries
and in the Court House of this place, we learn
from the Boekiogham Register, has turned
up in Harrisonburg. Virginia. This is not
the last place in which he will "turn up" by
any means: if he would have had the courage
of ordinary men he would have been consid
erable further South, where his heart was,
four years'ago. This place is well rid of him.

W'L this week publish, in another column,
under the head of "How a Loafer was Re
baked," a few very pregnant lines. There is
another class of "platter-brains" who are
equally culpable. We mean that class who
stand on the street corners and in the office
doors and observe every lady passer by. The
moment they see a lady enter a place of busi
ness they post off at once, and break in upon
her, when, in all probability, -he desires to
transact business of a nature that she does
not wish all the world to know, and especially
the ungentlemanly intruder who thus breaks
in upon her. We have seen so much of this
that we are disgusted with it.

OUR townsman, James M. Bell, Esq., in
company with a number of other prominent
l'ennsylvauians, have gone on an excursion
through Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina
ami other Southern States. The party left
Washington in a special train provided for
the purpose, on yesterday.— HoUidaysbttrg
Register.
THE WEATHER, that never failing subject of
comment has been decidedly, in the language
of the Almanacs, "variable," for several
weeks past, and as yet gives no sign of im
provement. Wind, rain, mud, black lower
ing clouds and gloomy fogß. with stray streaks
of sunshine, few and far between, make up
the dismal record thus far of what has some
times been called the 'merry month of May,'
but has not yet given us one clear, bright,
warm day, with the blue skies and merrily
singing birds of a genuine old fashioned May.
PISCATORIAL. —Our young friend E. M.
Alsip, Esq., while on a visit to the bordeis of
Somerset county, a few days ago, bagged 260
fine trout as the fruit of a day's sporting in
the mountain streams. Espy is a keen sports
man and a skillful disciple of IsaakWalton, as
his invariable success in capturing the speckled
beauties of our mountain streams well attests.
May as abundant success aitenckhim as a dis
ciple of Blackstone.
SI HOOL ACCOVKTU— TWr appears toU
general negligence on the part of School
Directors to publish the accounts of the re
ceipts and expenditures of their respective
districts as required by the Act of Assembly.
The State Superintendent of Common Schools
states that this section of the law is as obli
gatory upon the Board of Directors as is the
section requiring them to keep open the
schools, and a neglect to perform this duty
according to the law will subject Directors to
removal by the courts, the same as the neg
lect of any other duty required by law.
THE WORK ox THE NEW RESERVOIR seems
to have come to a full stop. Nothing seems
to have been done for months, and the half
finished work unless soon looked after, will be
found crumbling to the ground. The walls
are already giving way ; whether from bad
workmanship in the building or want of care
since their completion, we are not prepared
to say. Will the city fathers have the good
ness to inform us whether or not we are to
have any use of the new reservoir this season?
Or are we to be withottt water again when
the dry season arrives ? The tax-payers of
the borough would like to know when, if ev
er, they are to derive any benefit from the
money invested in this enterprise.
A Goon EXAMPLE. —Rev. A. V. Schenck,
of the Presbyterian Church, has been preach
ing a series of sermons on the observance of
the Sabbath. Ministers of the gospel through
out this community would do well to emulate
his example in illustrating the necessity for,
and enforcing the duty of observing the fourth
commandment. There is no doubt but that
a desperate effort will be made at the next
session of our legislature to repeal at lea3t a
portion of our laws enforcing the observance
of the Sabbath: and it becomes the moral
watchmen of the country to be vigilant in
counteracting all efforts to educate public sen
timent into favoring a relaxation of laws im
posing moral restraints upon that portion of
every community that would know no laws
but such as ministered to its own avarice or
sensual indulgence. L.
SOLUIEK'S ORPHANS. —Complaints are al
most daily made in regard to the treatment of
the Soldier's Orphans at White Ilall, Cum
berland county, Pennsylvania. All manner
of charges are preferred, whether true or
false, we are not prepared to say; w here,
however, there is so much smoke there must
be a little fire. So bad is the reputation of
this institution In this county that it will be
utterly out of the question to get the consent
of piothcrs to send their children to any of
these schools unless this matter is fully venti
lated and satisfactorily explained. The State
authorities, who have the good of these
schools in their hands, will do well to call j
Mr. Denlinger to account for his steward
ship, and if weighed in the balance aud found
wanting, let an example be made of him.
POSTAL AFFAIRS —An effort is again being
made to establish a Post Office at the Foot of
Dry Ridge. There was an office there lor
many years, called ''Mann's Choice," in hon
or of our distinguished townsman, Hon. Job
Mann. We learn that the office has been dis
continued at Buffalo Mills. We cannot ac
count for this, unless it should be owing to the
inefficiency or negligence of the officer' who
has hitherto conducted it. This is a most
unfortunate region: for a distance of fifteen
or twenty miles, from the Foot of Dry Ridge to
the Maryland line, in a narrow valley, hemmed
in on all sides by high mountains, there are
no postal facilities. A few years ago we made
an effort to have the route revived, but we
were told from Washington that the offices
had been so miserably conducted, through
inefficiency, that the Department would not
re-establish it until assurance was giver, that
persons capable of transacting the little busi
ness pertaining to a country post office would
apply. Unquestionably there are such per
sons on this route, and for their owu advan
tage, as well as for the accommodation of the
public, they should sacrifice a little, and
make an effort to have the route re establish
ed. But as long as ''dunder-hcads" who
can scarcely write their own name, and add
three figures in simple addition, apply, there
is no use talking about it.
WE are pleased to hear that the Rev. Ed
win M. Bong, formerly in charged the Union
Tabernacle of Philadelphia, and widely known
as the Children's Preacher, intends holding
one of his grand Jubilees in the M. E. Church
of this place, commencing Wednesday even
ing, May 29tli. We are told the church is to
be beautifully decorated, which, with Mr-
Long's splendid Panoramic Paintings, bril
liant illustrative lecture, together with the
songs of the children, will make a jubilee in
deed, that will gladden the hearts of all who
may attend. Among the many testimonials,
we clip the following from the American
Presbyterian-, Philadelphia, in a notice of a
Children's Meeting held at Cape May, in Au
gust, 1 :
"Fifteen hundred people, most of them
children, assembled in graud jubilee, in Con
greas Hall—as many more went away unable
to gain admittance. * * The feature of
the day was nu illustrated sermon by Rev. E.
M. lAig, on the text: "A man shall be an
hiding place lrom the wind, and a covert from
the tempest." A beautifully painted pano
-1 rama was made to pass before the audience,
each picture assisting the speaker in enforc
j ing his subject. We have seldom seen an
audience of young and old more closely inter
ested than was this one in Mr. Long's sermon,
and the good it is calculated to do, by the
strong impression made by one sense assist
ing the other, must be very considerable."
THE FAMINE or THE SOUTH —To MINISTERS
OF THE GOSPEL. —A circular issued from the
Board of Trade Rooms, Philadelphia, calls
upon the people of Bedford county to contri
bute their mite to the fund for the relief of the
Starving Poor of the South. The following
have been appointed by the Managers of tho
Fund, a committee, to bring the subject be
fore the people of Bedford county:
John Cessna, W. T. Daugherty, W. P.
Schell, E. F. Kerr, J. T. Gephart, J. G.
Hartley, B. F. Meyers, G. 11. Bailey, J. P.
Reed, Josiah Miller, Andrew Crisman, Joseph
B. Noble, James Madam, A. H. Hull, F. D.
Beegle, H. P. Diehl, J. B. Williams, C. W.
Ashconi, John Filler.
At a meeting of as many of the Committee
as could be assembled, it was.
Resolved, That the ministers of the several
churches in the county, be respectfully reques
ted to announce to their congregations that
contributions in aid o! the Southern Famine
Relief Fund, will be solicited on next Sabbath,
19th inst., or as soon thereafter as they may
deem best.
We hope that the gentlemen appointed the
above committee will see that ministers in
their neighborhood are requested to announce
this collection to their congregations. There
is pressing need for help. White and black
alike are crying to us for bread. Shall we
turn a deaf ear to the cries of starvation?
God forbid.
Contributions can be sent to any of the
committee residing BoJforJ wbo-will t
once forward them to the Treasurer at Phil
adelphia or may be sent direct to .J. M.
Aertsen, Treasurer, S. E. Corner Walnut
and Dock Streets, Philadelphia.— Bedford
Gazette.
NEWS OF TIIE NEIGHBORHOOD,
We clip the following ilems from papefs
published in neighboring counties:
JOHN PALMER, EX. District Attorney lor
Bedford county, bas absconded with a large
amount of bounty funds, Ac., duo soldiers'
widows, and others. We presume he has
gone to pay Jeff Davis a visit to receive a
lesson on Democracy.— Hot. Whiff.
BURGLARY. —On Saturday night last be
tweeen 10 and 11 o'clock the drug stores of
C. C. Shriver, A Co., 01 and 53 Baltimore
street were burglariously entered and robbed
of what money remained in one of the draw
ers, amounting to five or ten dollars. The
thief effected au entrance by passing through
the cellar, and thence into the wholesale house
by a trap door. He then entered the retail
store, and while engaged iu his depredations,
one of the clerks entered for the purpose of
filling a prescription, whereupon the thief be
came alarmed and hastily decamped.—CHW
berland Civilian.
MAD DOGS nt PERRY COFXTY.— The Peo
ple s Advocate, published at New Bloomfield,
Perry county, of the Ist inst., says: We learn
that several hogs and a young heifer belong
ing to Mr. Solomon Bernheisle, of Tyrone
township, were bitten by a mad dog and be
came rabid. It is also reported that Mr. Mo-
ses Waggoner, living about Loysville, had to
kill a horse that showed unmistakable symp
tows ofbeing mad. Jacob Kline, of Bridge
port, Spring township, killed his dog last
week, as it had been bitten and showed sighs
of going mad.
BERLIN came near being made a "temper
auce" village last week. Remonstrance!
against granting licen-ie to two of the Hotel
keepers were presented to the court, the
third "Landlord" agreeing not to ask for a
license in ease the other two were refused.
The thirsty citizens however prevailed on the
remonstrants not '.o urge the matter, and on
promises of circumspect conduct in the fu
ture, the remonstancc was withdrawn. So
the lovers of the "ardent" in that ancient
village will sot be compelled, as they feared,
to establish a "jug line" to the neighboring
distilleries.— Som. Whig.
INFORMATION WANTED. —Washington and
Charity Black are very anxious to hear of the
whearabouts of their son John, lie is a
small boy, of dark color. He was taken away
from this city by Thomas Bennett and S. San
ders, against his own will and that of his pa
rents. When last heard from they were
about Miffliutown, Juniata county, working
their way to Erie, Pa. as chimney sweeps.
Any persons or papers giving any informa
tion concerning the boy's whereabouts, will
confer a great favor on his distressed parents,
by addressing tbem at Horrisbnrg.—Harris
burg Telegraph.
Now that the Legislature has adjourned,
the people are in a state of bewilderment in
regard to the laws, important or unimpor
tant, which have been enacted during the
session. Some of these find their way into
newspapers, through the efforts of the pub
lishers to procure information for their read
ers, but the great body of them remain a total
mystery to those who are most directly con
cerned. Had the Legislature made proper
arrangements to have the general laws enact
ed published officially in the newspapers, asis
done in many of the other States, this condi
tion of ignorance would not have existed.
We agree with the Montrose Republican when
it says that the time will soon come when such
indifference to the public wants will not be
tolerated.— hjs.
WE plaee at the head of our paper to-day
the excellent county ticket uominated at the
primary election last week. The rcnomina
tion of Mr Weller —without opposition—as
our Legislative candidate, was a compliment
not often conceded, but was eminently due
to his fidelity to his party, and local interests
during the session of last winter, and we
presume his nomination by the district con
ference will also, as it should be, condeded.
In the person of Captain Grim for Treasurer,
and Mr. Aurnan for Commissioner—two gal
lant and badly wounded soldiers—we have
fitting representatives of the "boy's in blue,"
and the material for efficient and reliable
county officers. Mr. Meyers for Director of
the Poor, and Mr. Cupp tor Auditor well
represent our staid agricultural community,
and complete a very good ticket, which will,
as it should be elected by a large majority.—
.Som. Whig.
MEETING OF CLASSIC. —The "Mercers
burg Classis," of the Reformed Church held
its annual session in I'attonsvillc, Bedford
county, Pa., on Friday. May 17th, at 7 o'clock
P. M.
The Classis is a representative body com
posed of some 25 to 30 ministers and repre
sents from 18 to 20 Pastoral charges, in the
several counties of Bedford, Huntingdon,
Blair, Fulton and Franklin, numbering an
adult membership ot over tiOOO, including also
! the Baptist children, (last year's report num
bering 5,232.)
The officers of Classis, during the past year,

| W. M. Deatrick, of Friend's Cove Stated
j Clerk, and Rev. J. llassler, Treasurer.
Each minister is required topresent to Class

amount contributed for missions, education,
Ac., which report is to be confirmed and en
dorsed by the Elder present.
The sessions usually last four or five days,
aud arc opened to all who See proper to at
tend.—Huntingdon Monitor.
How A LOAKEK WAS BBBIKED.—We take
the following bit of rhyme from the New Al
bany (Ind.) Commercial. To the gangs of
ignorant young platter-brains who stand at
the post-office, church doors and street corn
ers, and make obscene remarks about the la
dies who pass, we recommend an attentive
persual of the following:
WHO WAS IT?
He was standing on the corner,
In the place where loafers meet,
And he watched the dressy damsels,
As they waded o'er the street.
From his mouth came inuendoes,
And his eyes were opeued wide,
As on tiptoe they came dancing
O'er the muddy, sloppy tide.
When a lady and her daughter,
Stepping carefully along,
Closely veiled from street inspection,
Heard his slimy venomed tongue.
Then the little vuiU were lifted,
And with shame his bead he hung,
For his mother and his sister
, Thus had struck the speaker dumb.

July , 1861. f
I)R. HOSTETTKR —Sir: I have long delayed
writing to you my sincere thanks for the good you
have done my daughter. I can truly say that
nothing but the kind hand of Providence and
your Bitters have saved ber from an early grave.
For three years I have been doctoring her with
syrups and all kinds of bitters that have been
recomendcd to me for her. besides having two
first rate physicians, but all seemed to do her no
good, while I was searching the almanacs and alj
the newspapers that I could get hold of, in hopes
of finding something that would suit her case.
Accidentally there came part of a newspaper
around some goods that I bought at the Spa. In
looking over it I saw at a glance that your Bit
tors was just what she needed. I sent the next
day to Ballston Spa and got a bottle of your Bit
ters. She commenced taking them, and such a
change in ono week with her appet'te and the
distress that victuals occasioned, and that burn
ing in the Stomach, I Devcr saw in my life, as
there was in her. She lias taken three bottles and
is now able to work alt the time. I think there
is a little derangement of the Liver. Please send
me three bottles more, which I think will cure her
entirely. We and others thought she had a dis
ease of the hear*, but that beating and fluttering
that wonld almost stop her from breathing at
times, is all gone.
Yours, with respect,
MaylO. MRS. AMANDA M'PHERSON.
