A CHAT named Lebo was arrested in Cum
berland, Md., one day last week, en the
charge of stealing a horse in Harrison town
ship, this county, and subsequently brought
here and lodged in jail. He had disposed of
the horse and was about leaving on the train
west, when overhauled.
THE many friends of Dr. H. V. Bramwell,
formerly of Sehellsburg. this county, now
of Kansas City, Mo., are informed that ow
ing to severe indisposition he has been ren
dered unable to answer their communications,
whether private or public. As soon as he is
restored to health he will give their letters
prompt attention.
ARBANGUESTS have been made to have
the most extensive celebration of the Fourth
of July in Bedford, on the approaching 4tb,
that ha? been made for years. That no one
may be overlooked in the extensive arrange
ments. it is Gxpressly understood that every
man. woman, and child, celebrate on his or
ber "own hook." This plan, it is supposed,
will give entire satisfaction.

J. M. SHOEMAKER, NO. 1, Anderson's Row,

CHEAP FOR CASH. In adopting a strictly cash
method, he intends to haTe no bad debts,
c -.spquently those who pay the cash will not
be barged a per centage to cover such debts.

THE WEATHER. — CROPS.— The weather
if .ring the past few days has been very cltry
with heavy rains. A succession of heavy
h were and wind prevailed over the whole
county on Monday afternoon and night and
i at'Filay morning, which have prostrated
whole fields of grain. Not much damage is
tirT'tehended, as the wheat and rye are both
t 'd. and therefore safe from any serious in
iry from falling. The wheat crop is report
ed the best we have had for many years in
this county, and is now safe from any serious
harm, unless attacked by rust. Fanners are j
'St beginning to cut grass, which is about j
an average crcp. Corn and oats, though late j
] '.Anted, are thriving finely, and give promise j
of a bountiful crop.
THE RAIL ROAD. —The work on the tunnel
between this point and Mt. Dallas progresses
slowly. The approaches to the tunnel com
prise some heavy cutting, and will not be fin
ished to the entrance of the tunnel for six
months at least, unless an increased force is
put to work on it. The present torce num
bers some fifteen hands. The western ap
proach. the only one on which any work has
yet been done, now penetrates perhaps forty
or fifty feet into the hill, is cut through solid
rock the width of the road, and at the point
now reached, is twenty-five or thirty feet
deep. The cutting here is very heavy, and
increases in depth until, at the entrance of
the tunnel, it will be over sixty feet trom the
surface to the road bed, all through solid
lime-stone rock. Work on the eastern ap
proach will be begun this week! We have
been watching the progress of the work with
considerable interest, and are compelled to
say that it drags its slow length along at a
most wonderfully tedious pace. For the num -
ber of hands employed the work proceeds
rapidly enough, but from the beginning there
have never been more than half as many men
employed as there might, and ought to have
been. Whether a stronger force will be em
ployed iu future or not remains to be seen.
At the present rate of progress it will be at
least two or three years before the tunnel of
six hundred feet is completed.
THE "GUTTER" QUESTION. —For the-pres
ent, we have concluded to forego the "gut
ter" qnestion. We have been induced to do
so through fear of being instrumen
tal in bringing about the direful results depic
ted iu the following letter, dropped us by a
countryman of the party named:—

WE are constantly annoyed by parties call
ing on us for old newspapers for patterns,
hats, for in cupboards, under carpets, and a
thousand other purposes, but very seldom for
one to read. We cannot supply everybody,
nor do we desire to do so if we could. Ev
ery old paper that we give away, and we give
away hundreds, costs unjust so much cash, a
very small sum when taken one at a tiuic, but
making dollars in the aggregate. This is not
all—we have a standing offer —qpsh—from
a number of sources, for every old newspaper
that we can spare, and considerable complaint
when we do not preserve them. But the
mere giring is not so much a nuisance as be
ing bored a half dozen times a day, when in
the midst of some business which does not
admit of trivia! interruption, with "Ma wants
some old papers for a pattern." This is too
much for our patience.
THE ESPECIAL ATTENTION of the public is
called to the administrator's sale advertised
in to-day's IxqcutEß, by Hon. Samuel L.
Russell, Administrator of Eliza Watson, de
ceased, offering to the public a large number
of building lots adjoining Bedford. This is
the first opportunity of the kind offered to
our citizens for many years, and we pray that
all those who desire to locate here will avail
themselves of it and procure suitable loca
tions for residences. We hope that Mr. Rus
sell will not sell them in blocks, but by the
single lot, and give all an opportunity who
desire to purchase.
WE are very frequently asked whether the
different Pay Departments at Washington arc
paying the Additional Bounty under the Act
of Congress approved 28th of July, 1866, to
which we are compelled to answer that they
are not. We have thousands ol dollars pend
ing in the offices of the Paymaster General
and Second Auditor, and have not had a
claim paid, with a single exception, since
February last. It is said that a want of funds
is the canse of delay.

Fever and Ague Extinguished.
Martyrs to Intermittent Fever, a word with
y"U. The responsibility for your suffering rceL
upon yourselves. Just as surely as you shake to
day, or will shake to-morrow, IIOSTETTEU'B
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS will ex
tinguish the disease under which you labor. Had
you taken this genial tonic as a preventive, ycu
would have no need of it as a cure, for it rendor?
the system impervious to all nuasmatic fever.-.
But since you neglected the precaution, rid your
selves without delay of the complaint by resort
ing to the only re'.iabit remedy. Break the chili:
with HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, and they wiii
return no more. This is the experience of thou
sands, and it will be yours. Quinine is a slow
means of relief; it is nauseous to the last degree;
it is more dangerous than the malady itself; in
many cases it utterly fails. How different is the
effect of the Bitters. Their curative action is
rapid; they arc agreeable to the palate; they arc
not only entirely harmie-:?, but tend inevitably to
strengthen the constitution and prolong life: they
Rerer hare failed, and it is confidently assumed
that they if fir can fail in any c- ..f Fever an I
Ague, however inveterate in its character. To be
without HOSTETTER'S BITTERS in any re
gion infested with Intermittent or Remittent Fe
ver is simply to reject safety and court disease.
