As 1 ani about to prosecute the claims
! r confiscation at the next session of Con
gi - if I should be permitted to appear
tbep . I desire to ascertain certain facts.
Will you aid me in proenring them in a small
part of our own state? Invite returns from
all the people in each township of the amount
of property which the rebel raiders or the
armies of the so called ''Confederate States"
destroyed or appropriated to their own use
during their several inenrsions into Penn
ylvania, and hand the same to the Assessors
of the different townships who are requested
to return the aggregate for each township to
the Chairmen of the respective parties of the
different counties. May I here ask that the
various newpapers of the counties above
named, publish this notice for a few weeks in
aid of the object specified as I intend to press
the payment of the damages done to loyal
men. out of the confiscated property of the
• nquered belligerent. I desire each and
every person who resided in the above named
counties to make out a list of the amount of
all property of which he was despoiled by the
rebel raiders or the rebel Government, and
return the same to the assessors of his town
ship, who, I hope will forward the same to
to tie Chairmen of the County Committees of
each party, who I hope will take the trouble
to aggregate the same and return it to me. I
desire a fair valuation to be placed on all the
property, whether personal property ab
-;r i-ted, or real property destroyed, except
Caledonia Iron works in the Couuty of
Franklin, which will not be appraised as no
remuneration is claimed for it. This may
em to be asking our friends to take con
derable trouble, but as a small part ot the
labor only falls to each person it willbc found
light. I hope it may finally prove profitable
to the injured people.
Yours,
THA.DDEUS STEVENS.
P. S. Were it not presumptuous in me.
1 would invite all the loyai men of all the
-tates who have been plundered by rebel
raiders or confiscated by the Confederate
States or either of them, to form associations
and 'urnish statistics, such as are above so
licited. Claims so imperatively just, must
be finally allowed and paid, but the funds to
pay the same will certainly be raised nowhere
except out of the fines and confiscations of the
richer and more atrocious malefactors.
Feeble as my powers are, if I had five years
more added to my life, I should not doubt but
that this would become an accomplished fact.
Such justice urged by a determined will,
though feeble intellect, cannot tail.
If I should be denied that extension of
life, Providence will raise np to the work,
-•■ me younger and abler man to whom these
tacts would be of great assistance. 1 trust it
will not be supposed that I have abandoned
the determination to procure small home
steads for tire freedmcn, to be furnished by
the rebel masters whom they conquered at our
request. Homesteads earned by the late
slaves and annexed to their master's es
tates. 1-et them now be severed by partition.
All the Newspapers in the several counties
named are respectfully requested to publish
this article. 8t
"WIIEN will the Western part of the town be
made the object of some streetimprovemenls,"
is a question that has been propounded to us
by inhabitants of that locality. In answer we
would say—be patient. "Rome was uot built
in a day:' neither can our worthy authorities
be supposed to do all things at once. "Pa
tience, Cleminy: things are moving."
WASHINGTON HOVSE. —We would call the
attention of the travelling public to the fact
that this well known establishment is being
thoroughly renovated and refitted, and Mr.
Dibert intends that his customers shall find it
as represented, a "first class hotel."
i A NEW LODOE, NO 33, Independent Order
of Good Templars, waa organized in Clearville
on last week.
Tv its appropriate column we this week pub
lish an obituary notice of Geo. Mullin, Esq.,
with a brief summary of his public career,
as identified with the early history of this
county.
THE customers of John I. Noble's Woolen
Factory, at Waterside, this county, will he
waited upon by William H. H. Ralston, and
offered an opportunity to exchange their wool
for goods at fair price::. Wait until he calls.
ANT person desiring a Scholarship of the
Quaker City College, Philadelphia, one of
the best Business Colleges in the United
States, can be supplied, on reasonable terms,
by applying to us.-tf.
WE can not help noticing the rapid growth
and progress of the organization of Good
Templars in this place. Largo additions
in numbers are being made at each stated
meeting and results betokening much good
are made manifest.
•'THE REGULATOR." —Irvine & Statler are
stiil selling their goods a3 cheap as ever.
Thev have on hand the finest lot of Boots and
Shoes ever brought to town, and their stock
of Groceries, Queensware. Ac., is hard to
beat. Give them a call.
W E notice that Bedford Street named in
the proprietory as Shelbourne,' in the eastern
part of the town, is in process of rapid grada
tion. This smacks of improvement, and that
too, in the right direction. We hope Julian
na Street will not be forgotten in her lime and
place.
THE Lewistown Gazette comes to us en
larged and shining like a new pin. We are
very glad to see this evidence of prosperity in
the Gazette. It is a very good and reliable
Republican paper, and well deserves all the
patronage bestowed upon it by the vigilant
Republicans of that county.
ATTENTION is called to the advertisement
of the "Chalybeate House" William Cheno
weth, proprietor. Persons from a distance
wishing to spend a few weeks in pleasant re
creation will find the "Chalybeate" just the
place, as the situation is delightful, and in all
respect they are sure to be made comfortable.
WASTED.—A few hogs, goats, geese Ac., to
stock the streets of the town and the public
square. Il is hoped that the borough authori
ties will see that the want is promptly sup
plied. If the City Fathers are too bussly en
gaged to attend to little matters of this kiud
perhaps a little extra pay might induce the
High Constable to lend his assistance.

the donor was not possessed of the idea that

ever use or are i n need of such an addition
to their toilet.
Bor.oucu TAXES.— We are requested by the
Burgess and Council to say that on account
of the extraordinary repairs to the reservoir
and streets, the taxe3 tnttsi be paid at once
or the work stopped. It is to be hoped that
the water will not be stopped off from the
borough this summer on this account. La
boring men must be paid, and their families
supplied, or the work cannot go on. J. W.
W. Dickerson. Esq.. has the old duplicate,
and 11. Nicodem s. £?q.. the present one.
"THE WEATHER" seems to l>ean inexhaus
tible topic, made so, probably, from the fact
that the "venerable clerk," has seen fit. late
ly. to give us a bountiful supply of the "vari
able" and "changeable." Seven day's rain,
one day's snow, and two day's attempted sun
shine, make up the calendar for the past tc-n
days. To-day, (Tuesday) tastes of Spring,
but "dark clouds still hang o'er us." envel
oping the majestic mountain tops, and beto
kening "more rain."
WHY IS IT, that the day train on the Hun
tingdon A Broad Top Railroad is always be
hind time at Mt. Dallas while the night train
arrives on time? The schedule gives the day
train seventeen minutes more than the night
train yet it never reaches Mt. Dallas on time.
At present the day train is the only one that
carries a mail and by reason of irregularity in
the time of its arrival at Mt. Dallas the mail,
instead of reaching Bedford at half past
twelve o'clock as it should, frequently does
not arrive until half past one and two o'clock.
CROP PROSPECTS. —Wheat promises an
abundant barrest. Oats are late and indica
tions are that there will be a light crop.
Corn is not all planted yet, while sonic, early
planted in low ground, is reported rotting.
Fruit —Apples and pears have bloomed
freely and promise a bountiful crop. Peaches
have nearly all been frozen in the bud and
in some localities the trees have been
badly damaged by winter freezing. Grapes
are putting forth very late and an average of
half the bndg have been winter killed. In
many places the vines are badly damaged
and will die to the ground. The past winter
has been disastrous to small fruits generally,
except the hardier varieties. Strawberries
have bloomed freely and we have every pros
pect of an abundant supply of this early and
delicious fruit.

JUNIATA SHAD. —Many of our readers are
still incredulous as to the appearance of shad,
not only in the upper waters of theSusdue
hanna. but in its tributaries, but every day
affords ocular proof that the tinny monsters
are returning to their old haunts, and that
before many years shad will be as abundant
in these waters as they were before the im
provements of navigation interfered with
their habitations. We were shown eight mon
ster shad caught in the Juniata on yesterday
morning, aud brought to this city at noon (he
same day. by"Dr. E. Eranciscns, ticket agent

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. DIAMOND EDITION. —
"The Diamond Dickens" is an edition of
which any author might be proud, even though
be were inclined to set the highest price upon
his writings. It is a miracle of cheapness and
neatness. tVe examine it closely, and with
abundant satisfaction, as we say so. We
look at the fine, delicately tinted psper, the
; beautifully clear though exceeding small type
i the clean bright impression, the spirited cn
! graviugs, the neat regular folding, the pretty
! green and gold binding, and the nice solid
j feeling book which all these necessary tonco
| mitants go to make up —and we say again.
| deliberately, when we remember the price,
i that "The Diamond Dickens" is a miracle of
I cheapness.
I If the complete works of the great novelist
i can he produced in , ivgant tolmnn of too, or
! more pages, on fine paper, with spirited illus
j -.rations, well printed and well bound, making
j a set of books that would ornament any library
i at the price of one dollar and a half a volume
i we think it likely that the people will tire of
j payiug nearly or quite as mnch for worthless
j books miserably printed and not bound at all.
j "The Pickwick Papers." "Our Mutual
| Friend," "David CopperSeld" and "Nicho
; las Nickleby," have already been issued in
the "Diamond" edition.
fltey will be followed by a volume a month
until the series is complete.
The Illustrated Edition, in greeu morocco
cloth, with a gold medallion portrait of the
author, costs $1.50 per volume. An edition
precisely similar in respect i ; " itir.gr and
paper, but without the plate.-: and bound in
crimson morocco cloth, is sold at $1.25 per
volume. The books are elegant enough lor
j the richest, and cheap enough for the poorest,
j "The Diamond Dickens should find a place
in every house in the land. The people who
read the great English humorist and moralist
can hardly fail to grow wiser and better.

Henry Diehl, aged 52 years, 2 month", and 8 days.
At hU residence in Harrison township, on the
Jfith of April, 1807, GEORGE MCLLtN, Esq.,
in the Slit year of his ago.
The subject of the above notice, was born
in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, but
came to Bedford County at a very early age,
where he has resided ever since, ilia par
ents were poor, and consequently unable to
give him the benefits of a classical education,
but endowed with spirit, ambition and energy,
it was but a natural result that he should suc
ceed in despite of any lack of culture in this
respect. He was one of that class of men to
whom no obstacle seems unsurmountable, no
difficulty so great that it cannot be overcome
by perseverance. Ever upright and honest,
he won the esteem and respect of the entire
community in which he lived. He was twice
Sheriff of the County, receiving his first com
misason from Governor Joseph Heister on
the 28th of Oct. 1822. and his second from
Gov. George Wolf on Nov. 4 1834.
In 1841 he was elected for three years to
represent the 13th Senatorial District, com
posed of Bedford and Somerset Counties. As
a legislatorhe was able, incorruptible and con
scientious in the discharge of his duty, he
ever had an eye single to the interests of the
Commonwealth, and to his constituency.
During the six years of his official career as
Sheriff, he was indulgent and kind, in fre
quent instances, pretering to assume the debt
himself rather than distress the poor, and
was therefore truly styled — "the poor man's
friend.'" He had a wonderfully retentive
memory, and an inexhaustible fund of infor
mation" was Ifcortragbly posted on the polities
of the day, and could converse fluently on all
subjects appretaining thereto, from an early
date in the history of the country, up to the
last days of his life. He was always a de
cided advocate of the Union —and during the
late unfortunate and unjustifiable rebellion he
stood by the Union, and, with patriotic zeal,
aided the Union cause in every way he could
—contributing three of his own sons and a
grand son to the active military service of the
Government. In 1831 he was so much in
jured by a fall from his horse, as to be com
pelled to use crutches ever since, a period of
over fifteen years. Last fall a fresh injury
confined him to hiß bed. For a time bis re
covery seemed probable. But, he had not
the vigor of youth oa his side, the hand of
time for four score years, and over, pressed
upon him. His recuperative powers were
gone—slowly his sands of life ran out, until
exhausted nature yielding to the "stern de
cree" succumbed —tbc "dull film along his
dim eye grew." and he lay
"In the deep stillness of that dreamless state,"
"Of sleep that knows no waking joys again;
His sufferings were great but be bore them
with as much fortitude as poor human nature
can exercise under such circumstances.
He seldom complained, and when he did, it
was only when nis pain was increased to an
agony by lifting or moving, but ever submis
sively bowed to the hand that afflictedhim. He
was a member of the Presbyterian Church
for many years; tried to be exemplarry and
consistent, and to walk in "all Godliness and
humility" so tar as he was enabled. A firm
believer in the Bible, and the truths of divine
revelation, he literally "searched the script
ures." and ever sought to profit by their
teachings. It is saiu that the prospect of
of death disarms a man of all disposition to
transact business of a wordly character. Not
so with hitu. Whilst "setting his house in
order," with a view to his eternal interest he
did not neglect so to arrange bis temporal
matters that all difficulty, as much as possi
ble might be obviated* after his decease.
When this was accomplished he calmly await
ed his approaching dissolution. A few days
before bis death his mind seemed to be
darkened in reference to his spiritual condi
tion. Upon being questioned in this respect,
he replied, "I leave that entirely with my
God, I have no assurance, only hope! only
hope!" Soon, however a heavenly light
seemed to break in upon him, and he was
happy. Almost the lest aevor his life was a
long and beautiful prayer in which he besought
the divine blessing upon aii mankind. Thus
he passed from earth to rejoin the compan
ionship of her, we trust, who longyears before
preceded him to glory. She whom he loved,
and to sing with her the anthems ef the re
deemed. Ah! 'tis sweet lodiclliisend to gain;
who would cling to earth with such a home in
view. When the dark and misty vale is
passed, and Heaven's gates are thrown open
to our bewildered gaze, we behold the shi
ning loved ones gone before: there re-unions
are perpetual: there, no partings, there, uo
sad farewell.
"There is perpetual spring, perpetual youth.
"No joint-benuuiing cold, nor scorching heal,
"Famine nor age,.have any being there."

J.'r s, l*si. |
I)R. HOSTKTTRR—Sir : I ha,- 'ng delayed
writing to you iny sincere thanks Tor the good yon
have done my daughter. I can truly say that
nothing but the kind hand of Providence and i
your Bitters have sr, d her from an early grave. |
For three years I hate her n doctoring her with !
syrups and all kinds' of hitlers that have been
recomended to me for her, besides having two
first rate physicians, but alt seemed to do her no
good, while I was searching the almanacs and a|l
the newspapers that I could get hold of, in hopes
of finding something that would suit her ease.
Accidentally there came part of a newspaper
around some goods that I bought at the Spa. In
looking over it I "aor at a glance that your Bit
ters was jus! what .-he needed. I sent the next
day to Ballston Spa aud got a bottle of your Bit
ters. She commenced taking them, and such a
change in one week with her appetite and the
distress that victuals occasioned, cud that horn
ing in the Stomach, I never saw in my life, as
there was in her. She has taken three bottles and
is now able to work all the time. I think there
is a little derangement of the f.iver. Please send
me three bottles more, which I think will cureber
entirely. YVe and others thought she had a dis
ease of the heart, but that beating and fluttering
that wonld almost stop her from breathing at
times, is all gone.
