A MAN named James Artheurs was killed by being run over by ft freight train at Bell's Mills, on the 3d inst. He was about sixty years of age, and was formerly a resident of Bedford co. Oun farmers are now busily engaged in harvesting their wheat crop, which is said to be the best that has been raised in this coun ty for many years. The crop in the adjoin ing counties also comes fully up to the ex pectation aud promises an immense yield. WE understand that one of our enterprising citizens has on foot a project for the erection of a steam planing -nill near town. We hope the scheme may be successful, as we are much in ueed of something of the kind in this locality. JOHN W. SNOWMEN, late private of Compa ny E, 2nd Regiment of' Pennsylvania Cavalry volunteers, is represented to have died in one of the southern prisons during the rebellion. Any person acquainted with the circum stam-f and date of his death will confer a g:u; favor upon his parents by communica tii the facts to the editors of the IXORIREB.-tf I'HE SI'RtSG SEASON has fairly opened, and the virions boarding houses are more or less 1 with visitors. The prospects are not very favorable, however, for a very throng or .tended season, owing in a great measure, probably to the healthy condition of most of the cities, and to the varied condition of the weather. RATIONS COMMOTED! — Heirs of deceased prisoners entitled to Commutation of Hat ions —The heirs of prisoners who died in any of the Southern prisons arc entitled to re cover the Commutation for Rations provided by Act of Congress approved March 2, ISC'. Widows, children and parents who are enti tled to Ration money can procure it by ap plying to Durborrow & Lutz.-tf. THE ordinance in regard to the penning up of wandering porkers seems to Le entirely void this season. Swine, from the smallest specimen to the ''fattened gronter," are al lowed to run at will on the streets, to the great annoyance of persons who fail to close a gate or front door. A friend suggests that a special election be held for the purpose of placing iu position an officer who will enforce this law. THE condition of the streets in some parts of the town is truly a shame to the inhabi tants of the immediate locality where such nuisances abound. Stacks of wood, old di lapidated wagons, and like rubbish fill the street, and make it inconvenient, and in some places impossible, for vehicles to pass others, whilst piles of lumber, store boxes. Ac., ren der the pavements almost impassable. There certainly is law in regard to such flagrant nuisances. GHOSTS, GOATS, AND GOBLINS combined, must be fearfully annoying, when we fake into consideration the fact that the goafs in themselves are so, to such an extent, when a lowed to roam at will, that, setting aside the ml chief done gardens, trees, shrubbery, Ac., the kitchen is not exempt from their ravages. We know a case wherein somebody lost a dinner, and the pets left without even as much as expressing thanks. There is but one remedy—a mixture of powder and lead, administered through the instrumentality of an elongated instrument used in war. GOOD ADVICE. —The farmer who waits till his neighbor is done to borrow or hire his plough, to put out. his corn crop—or depends upon his neighbor to plough his corn after finishing his own, is not shorter sighted than he who waits to borrow or hire his neighbor's drill. Own a drill of your own. Put out your crop early. If you havn't the money to pay for a drill, borrow it —mortgage your farm—raise it some way—but, own a drill. Then you may expect to raise wheat. But don't be so foolish, or so mean, or so dingy us to depend on your neighbor for the best machine used in carrying on your business. * FROM the boyish "ma wants a few old newspapers," to the politest request for our latest and best exchanges, before we have our;-elves had time to glance at them, we are daily and hourly annoyed with calls to lead, give, or otherwise gratuitously dispose of our exchanges to parties who care not in the least for us or ours, except to obtain their news papers for nothing. Now, though we get a large number of exchanges, we would not hav • any one labor under the false impres sion that we get them for nothing, and that wc have no other use for them than to give away to such as are too stingy to subscribe tor their own. Our papers cost us aunually from two to three huudred dollars. This is not a small item to give away, but it is noth ing compared with the tax upon our time and patience caused by these paper beggars. They will therefore take notice that we will Sell tliera newspapers, old or Lew, our own or exchanges, for cash; but that we have quit the business of giving them away. We can not consent to be made a public convenience of because we choose to extend a tourtcsy to a few friends, nor can we consent to embrace in the term friends all who would like to get their news gratis.

ON TIIE MEDICINAL SPRING or BEDFORD From the base of a lofty mountain issuing, 0 fountain, thy profusion of waters, thou scadest forth in silence from thy fountain, deep in earth's womb cmbowelled: them mingling with the stream which murmurs below, thou loosest. No verdant plains nor verdant holds are nour ished hy thy stream irriguous. Nor flocks nor younglings of the herd dost tVou With food sup ply. To no prowling beasts of prey do thy shady, thy romantic banks, afford shelter or refuge. Hence, blooming virgins gav, matrons old and aged sires, and youths lately in wedlock joined, greatly delight to saunter along thy streams, to quaff thy healing waters. While, with joyful satisfaction, the valetudina-' rian in the waters of this fountain laves himself, the diseases of the breast, the pains of the head, the distresses of the side and deafness—all shrink from the healing efficacy of the healthful element. Let those drink whom the gout torments, and those whom a distressing cough annoys,—diseases which yield not to the art or care of the physician however learned. In drinking they certain aid shall find. The humble cottager and the wealthy lord, however weakened by disease, shall reinvigorate their systems by drinking these waters. Tcndor eyes shall regain their strength, lost powers of digestion Ehall again return, and the en# cblcd loins with new strength be girded. Let the sons of leisure and votaries of amuse ment on these health preserving waters regale themselves. The vigorous young mar and the rosy cheeked maiden from them receive no harm. Rich and poor innuinerons can well attest the truths I sing. Bedford, Pennsylvania, August 29,1509. j-By Rev. JAMES W ILLS OS, Teacher of Lan guages, at Bedford, 1810. HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP RAIIJIOAD. — The following highly complimentary notice of this road has been handed us by a gentleman whose fine discrimination in matters of this kind is not to be questioned. We sometimes hear of some nervous old creature who pre fers thirty miles of slow coaches to this route, (whose case is to be pitied) but iu general the persons who try this road find it, as it is. per fectly safe and satisfactory. The compliment is well deserved : MESSRS. EDITORS : Have you traveled over the H. AB. T. M. R. R. lately? If you have you no doubt observed a very great improve ment. Within a few weeks 1 have gone over it sixtimes and with as much comfort as could be expected on a short road. When you leave Mt. Pallas you can rely upon arriving at Huntingdon at the promised time "sharp" and so vice versa, lr. other words the trains both ways are run according to the schedule, and when that is done travelers are satisfied even though the speed is not so great as that of the lightning lino on the Pennsylvania Cen tral. There are now no annoying delays at the dillerent stations. The trains stop to let off and take on passengers, but there is no waste of time. What has to be done is done promptly, and you feel that all the employees are attending to their business like men de termined to do thoir duty. The mails arc brought into Bedford regularly and passen gers by the evening train arrive at Mt. Dallas in time to get here and have a good night's rest. This gratifying state of affairs is at tributable, i am informed, to the energy and business capacity of Mr. McKiliips, the pres ent superintendent, a quiet, unobtrusive gen tleman. who is certainly the "right man in the right place." In going over the "trestle work, 1 noticed that it had been rehewed ami repaired in the most thorough manner. The work was done under the direction of Mr. Fulton, the Chief Engineer of the com- Eany. who docs skilfully and well whatsoever e undertakes. A TRAVELER. AMONG the names of the gallant dead in scribed on the cenotaph of the Soldiers' Mon ument at Alloona, is that of Captain Henry Wehn, of Company "F," 70 th Reg't. Penn'a Vols. C'apt. Wehn was well known to the members of the company from this place at tached to the organization, and if we mistake not, was born and reared in Bedford county. He was killed at Pocotaligo, South Carolina, aud fell by the side of his son—a "worthy son of a noble siro" —but fifteen years of age at the time, aud who afterwards creditably serv ed a full term of three years in the same com pany his father so nobly sacrificed his life in leading. The memory of .Capt. Wehn and his gallant son, will ever be cherished by those- of their late comrades in arms, who knew in them the characteristics of brave soldiers and true patriots. HAS the ordinance, passed by the Borough authorities last Spring, requiring property holders to build or repair the pavements in front of their properties been rescinded, or is the miserable condition of some of the walks in direct contempt of that act? Wc be lieve that such improvement, if neglected by the owners of property when improvement is necessary, was to be done by the authori ties at the expense of the holders. There is certainly room for improvement in some lo calities, and that, too, on the property of persons who are conceded to be enterprising men, aud generally take the lead in "public improvements." Why is this?—"a law held in contempt is worse than no law at all. DID YOV SEE Uie new window on Juliana Street? Yes, and bought some of the finest goods out of it I ever bought.

BLANK DEEDS- FOR SALL < HEAP at the INQUIRER OFFICE Nov 2, 1868 The Laws of Health. It i, useless for State legislatures to pass laws for the preservation of the public health, if the great lam of self-preservation, which depends for its enforcement upon the will of the indiridnal, is suffered to remain a dead letter. There is scarcely an adult member of the com munity, of either sex, in this country, who has not seen the testimony in favor of lIOSTET TEII'S STOMACH BITTERS, lurnisbed oyer their own signatures by persons of acknowledged eminence in science, literature, act, commerce, and every department of business and profession ai life. These witness's havo declared in the most explicit terms that the preparation is a safe guard against epidemics, a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia, a valuable anti-bilious medicine, a promoter of appetite, a genial and harmless stimu. lant, a good acclimating medicine, a strengthener of the nerves, a general invigorant, a protection against the deleterious offeets of malaria and im pure water, and that it imparts a degree of vigor and activity to the vital forces which is not com municated by any other of the tonics and stom achics in use. Under these circumstances the self-preservative law of nature should teach every rational person who, either by reason of inherent debility or in consequence of exposure to un wholesome influences, is in peril of losing the greatest of ail tompoiai blessings, HEALTH, the importance 8T using the BITTERS as a defensive medicine. Dyspeptics who neglect to give it a trial are simply their own enemies. It is guaran teed to cure Indigestion in ail Us forms, and the billious and nervous will find nothing in the while range of official and proprietary medicines which will afford them the same relief. July 12 1 m. l)r Sclicnck's Pulmonic Syrtip. This great, medicine cured by Dr. J. H. Schenck the proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, when speedy death appeared to be inevitable. Ilia phy sicians pronounced his case incurable, when he commenced the use of this simple but powerful remedy. His health was restored in a very short time, and no return of the disease has been appre hended, for all tbo symptoms quickly disappear ed, and his present weight is more than two hun dred pounds. Since his recovery he has devoted his attention exclusively to the euro of Consumption, snd the diseases which arc usually complicated with it, and the cures effected by his medicines have been very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr. Schenck makes professional visits to several of the larger cities weekly, where he has large concourse of pa tients, and it is truly astonishing to see poor con sumptives that havo to be lifted out of their car riages, and in a few months healthy, robust per sons. Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pilla aro generally all re quired in curing Consumption. Full directions accompany each, so that any one can take them without seeing Dr. Schenck, but when it is conve nient it is best to see him. He gives advice free, but for a thorough examination with his Rcspir cmeter his fee is three dollars. I'lcase observe, when purchasing, that the two likenesses of the Doctor, one when in the last stage of Consumption, and the other as ho now is in perfect health, are on Government stamp.
