THERE has been a larger number of "por

ordinance prohibiting swine from running at
large in the Borough on secular days? We
thought this privilege was exclusively reserved

loads of cradles and scythes, thickets of Reap
ers, Mowers and Rakes, now they are filling
our streets with trains of "Willouehby Gum
Roller Grain Drills," soon to be scattered as
"missionaries ol life" through the dales and
over the hills of Southern Penn'a. Every
sensible farmer will own a drill. They are a
success. But tase care to order soon.
TGK,. There is nothing more beautiful of
the vegetable kind than the large luscious
strawberries which our people are begining
to introduce generally into their gardens.
We have ueen some of the finest specimens
this season that it has ever been our pleasure
to behold. Those who have not already in
troduced them will find them to be most
splendid and valuable acquisitions to their
numerous garden products and introduced
with very little expense. Some of the finest
specimens are raised by Capt. Tbos. Lyons,
of this place, the deliciousness of which we
have fully tested. Let everybody who has
space raise strawberries.
THE ARANDAI.E HOUSE.— The splendid buil
ding, erected on the properly of the late
George Smith, half way between Bedford and
the Springs, by Robarts & Smith, has been
christened the "Arandale House." This en
terprise was commenced immediately after
"Spring Season" of last yearand pushed with
remarkable vigor until now it is in a condition
to receive visitors. Its length is eighty six feet
by forty in breadth and equivalent to four
stories. The halls are spacious and the rooms
commodious and well ventilated. It is most
tastefully furnished with modern hotel furni
ture. The views from the lookout and rooms
are grand. It will be able, it is said, to ac
commodate one hundred visitors. We wish
the enterprising proprietors abundant success
in their liberal enterprise.
A 6mall pamphlet has been published by
the proprietors ot the Bedford Springs, for
gratutious distribution, under date of Phila
delphia, 1867, entitled " The Bedford Mineral
Springs with an analysis of its waters, together
with extracts from celebrated medical writers
which contains the startling announcement:
"visitors from Philadelphia reach there
[Bedford] the same day by taking the Penn
sylvania Railroad cars to Huntingdon, where
they connect with the cars on the Broad Top
Road, which take them within a three hours
drive of Bedford by plank road and turnpike."
It will be news to onr people to learn that the
Broad Top road extends no farther than
Hopewell, "three hours drive" "by plank
road," Ac. to Bedford. This announcement
will be highly edifying to the visitor who is
anxious to visit here, but who involuntarily
shudders at the thought of twenty miles of
lumbering coaches. It is about time that the
Rip Van Winkles of the Springs wake up
and cease to stand in their own as well as in
other people's light.

resolutions, which were unanimously adopt

Resolved, That this Convention heartily
ratifies the nomination of Hon. Henry l\.
Williamß of Allegheny County, for Judge of
the Supreme.Court, and fully endorses the
resolutions of the Williamspcrt State Con
vention by which he was placed in nomina
tion.
Resolved, That we approve of the course of
our late representatives Messrs. Richard
and Weller, and declare them to be the choice
of Bedford county for re-election; that we
consent to and advise their unanimous nomi
nation without the formalities of a Confer
ence. Should this suggestion not prove ac

then John Cessna. Capt J. S. Stuckey. and

for this County and instructed to support
Messrs. Richards and Weller for nomination.
Resolved. That we call the earnest and de
liberate attention and consideration of the
tax payers of Bedford county, without dis
tinction of party, to the alarming condition
of the finances of the county, the gross mis
management of the public funds, the appoint
ment of favorites to the position of county
and township offices, the defalcation of
collectors and others, and generally to the
bungling manner in which the accounts of
the county are managed by our officials. If
the party now in power cannot give a more
satisfactory account of the affairs to the people,
we earnestly recommend that they will bring
back to our midst the late District Attorney
who was so long an able, prominent and in
fluential member of the party, and who could
no doubt, bring order out of the confusion
DOW surrounding us.
Resolved, That we rejoice to know that
our party friends are in no way responsible
for the present lamentable and disgraceful
condition of affairs at the Poor House of the
cMunty. that we ask the reflecting and good
men of the county to rise nj> and compel a
change in the management of that institution.

THE HERALD OK HEALTH FOR Jn.T.—Beside
its usual attractions, has a most elaborate ar
ticle on "The Deaf and Dumb," referring
particularly to the causes which produce this
condition, and how they may be avoided; also
what has been done and can be done to edu
cate and ameliorate their condition. It will
be found interesting and instructive to all
classes of readers. The article was written
by Dr. Harvey P. Peet, Principal of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, Washington Heights, New
York. Few persons have had equal oppor
tunities for observation. This monthly will
be sent for $2 a year ; 20 ceU a number.

SOME or oca COTEMPORAKIEU seem to think
that the triumph of their cause depended, like
the fate of Jericho, upon the amount of noise
made —in these days of refinement and luxury,
an article of real intrinsic merit is soon ap
preciated; hence the unbounded and unparal
leled SNOCESS Of FL-AXTATIOX BITTERS.
This remedy has ever and always been found
reliable. As a gentle stimulant and tonic ap
petizer it caunot be excelled. It is no doubt
a sovereign remedy for stomachic disorders —
for Dyspepsia, Liver complaint, and iu stimu
lating a healthy appetite.-2. t.

Tug BIGHT OF THE PUBLIC TO THE WATER
OF THE SPRINGS.— Wa observe an announce
ment by band bills at the Spriugs, that Five
Dollars will be charged each person for the
uf?e of the water, except residents of Bedford
county, and guests of the hotel at the Springs.
This is evidently done to compel, as far as
may be, all visitors to board at the Springs,
and is a blow at the boarding houses and ho
tels in the town and neighborhood. Snppos
iug that the Andersons have the legal right,
the policy of this imposition, strikes us, as
narrow, illiberal and unwise. It would be
very much better for them to depend on ma
king their hotel attract guests by superiority
of accommodations and by the evident advan
t age it has in location.
There is no charge for the use of water at
Saratoga, where there are numerous hotels
and boarding houses, and many thousand vis
itors every year. And there is nothing except
want of management and enterprise on the
part of the past and present owners of the Bed
ford Springs that has kept this watering-place
so far in the back ground. In natural ad
vantages it is unquestionably unexcelled by
any in the country, and its visitors ought to
be numbered by thousands where there are
but hundreds. And now, when there is the
first effort made to extend the accommoda
tions, so that more visitors may come, it is
met by this tax, intended to discourage, and
as far as possible prevent! Is it not enough,
the mismanagement and short-sighted policy
that has brooded over this watering-place
like an incubus in the past?
But there is another question, and that is—
is this newly imposed tariff (imposed only
since Messrs. Robarts A Smith, Chenoweth,
and Cramer have erected their several hotels
and boarding houses) legal? Was not the use
of these God-given waters long ago dedicated
to the public? We certainly have always
been under this impression. It is trne that
some years ago there was a charge of one or
two dollars imposed on each visitor, which it
was stated in a hand bill then hanging about
the grounds was to be expended in the ma
king of walks and beautifying the grounds;
but this is nothing of that kind. A visitor
who comes to the town or neighborhood, and
uses the water but tor a day or two, is to be
taxed five dollars to go into the pockets of the
Anderson heirs! This is au important mat
ter and ought to be looked into. If five dol
lars can be charged why not fifty or five hun
dred? Or they may refuse entirely to let the
boarders in town or at the neighboring hotels
use the waters.
Looking at this thing from the stand-poiut
of the public interests of this community, we
hope the Messrs. Andersons will not insist on
this tax, but if they do, that its legality will
be fully tested.
At the request of a number of persons we
lay before our readers the Deed made by Dr.
Anderson to Jonathan H. Walker, Dr. Wil
liam Watson, Josiah M. Espey and Samuel
Riddle, in trust for the use of the public, of the
three Springs, comprising the entire number
of Medicinal Springs upon the Springs prop
erty. How this Deed is affected by subse
quent conveyances and incorporations we are
not prepared to say, but it strikes us very
forcibly that it will be pretty hard to circum
vent:
THIS I.vDEXTt RE made the eighteenth day
of March, jn the year of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and sixteen, between
Doctor John Anderson, of the Borough of
Bedford and County of Redfaul. of/he onn
part, and the Honorable Jonathan H. Walk
er, Esquire, Doctor William Watson, Josiah
M. Espey, Esquire, and Samuel Riddle, Es
quire, all of the same place, of the other part;
Whereas , The Mineral Springs which have
been discovered on the lands of the said John
Anderson, upon the east bank of Shover's
Hun, in the manor of Bedford, have been
found highly medicinal and salutary, and the
health of the community has been greatly
promoted by the use of the waters of the said
Springs, and the value of the property in Bed
ford and the vicinity thereof has been greatly
increased in consequence of the great resort
[to] the said Springs.
And vchcreas. several liberal and public
spirited individuals have heretofore contribu
ted towards improving the groundsadjacent to
the said Springs by the ereotion of bath
houses and other improvements for the ac
commodation of the persons uriug the said
waters,
And whereas, the said John Anderson has
proposed to devote the said Springs to public
use, and hath been requested by the niajoi
part of the said contributors to convey the
same, according to his original liberal views,
to trustees, in such manner as might best
comport with the public interest, secure to
the original contributors the use of the said
waters, and, at the same time, enhance the
value of the other property of the said John
Anderson in the vicinity of the said Springs.
Now, this Indenture witnesseth, that the
said John Anderson, in consideration of the
premises and for the farther consideration of
one dollar, to him in hand paid by the said
Jonathanll Walker, William Watson, Josiah
M. Espev and Samuel Riddle, at and before
the ensealing and delivery of these presents,
the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged,
hath granted, bargained and sold, aliened,
enfeoffed, released, assigned, transferred, set
over and confirmed and by these presents
doth grant, bargain, sell, alien, enfeoff, re
lease, assign, transfer, set over and confirm,

Watson, Josiah M. Espey, and Samuel Riddle
and the survivors or survivor of them, and
the heirs and assigns of such survivor, all
those two Mineral Springs heretofore used
upon the east bank of Shover's Run, in the
manor of Bedford, together with the Sulphur
Spring in the mill-dam of the said John An
derson, on the said Run, the adjacent ground,
now covered with bath-houses, the walks
leading to tlie said Springs, and as much ot the
other ad jacent ground as may be found neces
sary for erecting canopies, bath-houses, sheds
and privies, and for public roads, walks,
drains, conduits, wharves, bridges, cause
ways and groves, for the purpose of beautify
ing the ground and rendering it an elegant,
comfortable and salubrious resort for person F
using the said waters, and it is understood
and agreed upon between the said parties,
that the improvements above mentioned shall
be made in such manner as not to occupy
more ground than shall be necessary for the
purposes above mentioned, and in such man
ner as not to be injurious to the other prop
erty of the said John Anderson, his heirs and
assigns, owners and occupiers of the adjacent
lands, to have and to hold all and singular
the said Springs und premises hereby grant
ed, bargained and sold, or mentioned and in
tended so to be. with the several privileges

the end, intent and purpose that the said
Jonathan II Walker, William Watson, Josiah

In Washington, Pa., June 22, 1867, Miss NAN
CY LYON, in the 90th year of her age.
She was born in Cumberland county, Pa., near
Carlisle, April 27, 1778. Deprived by death of
her parents, Samuel and Eleanor Lyon— the lat
ter in her childhood, and the former in her early
life, she had her home for many years at Bedford,
Pa,, in the family of a sister, the wife of the Hon.
Jam sM. Russell. Since the death of her brotk
cr-in law, the late Alexander Reed, Esq., of
Washington, in 1842, she resided permanently
with her older sister Mrs. Reed, who still sur
vives.
Miss Lyon was one of a large family, and of a
wide and influential connection. Among ber
special friends was the first Mrp. Dr. Matthew
Jlrown, for whom she acted as bridesmaid on the
I occasion oi her marriage. Few persons had so
large an acquaintance or knowledge of persons
and families and their history. She was also a
reader of unusual diligence, not only in the cur
rent literature of the day, hut also in the higher
department of the British Classics. Cowper was
her favorite poet, and at a moment's call, she
could draw his finer passages from the rich store
house of her memory. But especially was she a
student of God's word and of the standard writ
ings devoted to the defence and elucidation of its
sacred truths Her conversation was in conse
quence marked with intelligent and discrimina
ting observation, to an unusual degree. Herpro
feseion of religion was made in the Presbyterian
Church of Bedford, under the ministry of the
late Daniel McKinlev. D. D., of whose evangelical
spirit and faithfulness she cherished an affection
ate memory, iler own religions experience was
deep. It bounded with distruetand condemnation
of herself. It was also tinged with a measure of
despondence reflected from natural disposition
and bodily infirmities. But although apprehen
sion often took the place of rapture in her views
and feelings concerning herself, she was concien
tious and steadfast, and the rest of her soul was
only and always found in Christ Her longing
for holliness and peace, especially during her
last illness, often found touching expression in
some of the most spiritual Psalms and Hymns,
which by long and familiar use had become
incorporated with her experience. She descended
at last by gentle stages to death, in full conscious
ness of her state, and reaching after the tokens of
her Redeemer's presence and love. J. I. B.
