Geary, Mrs. Geary and several gentleman from Bedford, were invi ted. It passed off very satisfactorily. In the evening the young folks enjoyed the first hop of the season. The gentlemen who conduct this house deserve great credit for their ef forts to please, and we arc happy to learn that tbey receive commendations on every hand. WHO says our town is not a progressive one '.' Among the various other "improve ments"' we notice that we now have an insti tution unknown since the days of Bob. Brown. A bonafi■">" at this place, and made for himself during that time a large number ot warm friends and enthusiastic admirers. On Friday la.ll he was the invited guest to a dinner at the Arandale House, and on Saturday was hospitably entertained by Mr. Dibert at the A ashiugton Hotel, where he was called upon by many of our citizens, of both political par ties, ami a number of visitors to the place, who were desirous of paying their respects to the Chief Magistrate of the Old Keystone ■State. On Monday evening he attended the '•ood leiuplars Lodge in town, and on fucsday he took his departure for Harris burg. We hope that the Governor enjoyed hi ; visit as much as the citizens were delight ed to have him among them, and we arc sure that his visit made a lasting impression on ihe minds of all who met him, and won for him many true friends and earnest supporters. THE WATER QUESTION AT THE Snuxos.— The proprietors of the Springs have, very wisely we think, reconsidered the matter of charging every visito*, not a citizen of the county, and not stopping at their hotel, five dollars for the use of the waters. Orders have been given to this effect, and the notices have been removed, hence, in the future, the public are to have the use of the waters free of alt charge. The policy of charging was certainly one of the most short-sigthed that could have been suggested. It was virtually denying the right of others to make provi- sions to entertain visitors, as the right to charge five dollars implied the right to charge fifty, or the right to prohibit entirely. This is a direct inference, although the intention may be denied at present,—it is proper to sup pose that the discrimination in favor of their own boarders was meant to affect the other houses, and further, if this discrimination would not have been sufficient, they could at any time increase the charges until they could monopolize the entire business, and cut the whole number of visitors down to those who would be willing to stop with them. Not only this: the visitors to a private family, say a relative, living out of the county, spendiug a lew days here, under this regulation, if he desired to take a draught of our health-in spiring waters, would have to thrust his hand into his pocket to the extent ol the tax, be fore he could enjoy the luxury. Thus it was not only a discrimination against those who desire to entertaiQ strangers for pecuniary gran, but a discrimination against every head of a family in the town. There is no denying the fact that there are any number of persons who could not be iu duced to stop at the Springs from any con sideration, if they hod the remotest idea that they were not better conducted than they have been for the last few years, yet they desire to avail themselves of the pleasant resort. They are willing to pay for their baths, the use of the billiard and bowling saloons, the refreshments they consume while there, and the money thus received is just so much clear gain, because all the money from this source would not be received, if the hotels and boarding houses were closed or Bbut off'. Bedford should be full if no other place in the couutry is. Nothing but enterprise is wanting to make it the greatest resort on the continent. Put the Springs in the bands of national characters, like the Lelands. and in stead of hundreds we will have thousands of visitors every season. In the hands of such parties the present proprietors could realize a larger per ccntage by leasing them than by keeping them themselves. The Saratoga Springs are owned by parties who have no interest in the hotels, this should be the case here, and we havenodoubtit wonldprove fully as profitable to the proprietors as it does now. V,'e do not, of course, look at this matter from the stand-point of the proprietors, but from the stand point of the public, in whose behalf we speak. The larger the number of visitors, the better it will be for the commu nity immediately around us, and just so much sooner will we have railroad facilities to the different points east and west. In conclusion, we are informed by the hoarders at the Springs, that they have never known them to be as well conducted as they have been up to this time this season. There appears to be entire satisfaction. The table, which has heretofore been the great source of complaint, is welt provided, and receives (he praise of all that we have heard speak of it. Gov. GEARY VISITS THE GOOD TEMFIAKS. —Gov. Geary was waited on by a committee of the members ot Bedford Lodge, No. 148, and invited to be present at the regular meet ing of the Lodge, on last Monday evening, to which he readily consented. Accordingly on Monday evening he was conducted to the the Lodge room and introduced to the mem bers in a very neat and appropriate speech by Dr. C. N. Hickok, to which the Governor responded in a speech of about half an hour in length. In the course of his remarks he reviewed the Temperance movement and spoke in glowing term 3of the prospects. He thanked God that here was a common plat , form upon which every humanitarian could i meet, without distinction of party, and labor for the general good. He referred to the : liquor dealers' and brewers' leagues as so many combinations to degrade and debase : men. lie stated that the great object was to ( start the young right, and lor this purpose humanitarians contemplated making temper ! ance a part of our Common School system. A few weeks ago he had visited one of the Soldiers' Orphan Schools, containing one iiuudred and sixty pupils, and while addres ! sing them he concluded to broach the subject ! of temperance to them. After speaking of ! the evils of this fell destroyer, he asked how manv were ready to join in taking the pledge. : when every hand went up and signified its i readiness; he made the same appeal against the pernicious use of tobacco with the same result. He paid a glowing tribute to the in fluence of woman, and said that, at the early age of seven years, his mother, a sainted mother, had taken him to her closet and de voutly kneeling, poured forth her thanks to the Throne of Grace, and thus sealed his res ; olution to forever abstaiu from the excessive use of ardent spirits. He begged the ladies i to use all their influence in behalf of the cause. He several times alluded, most tbril lingly, to the late terrible struggle, and asked the friends of temperance not to overlook the soldier, who, perhaps, while winning victory in the field, allowed another enemy to 3teal a march upon him. In conclusion lie spoke of the splendid prospect in Bedford j county, and expressed his surprise at finding such a formidable organization here, and the good it bad accomplished. The speech was i received with frequent rounds of applause. The Governor enjoyed the meeting very much, and appeared to manifest the greatest surprise at the success which has crowned ; the temperance movement in this portion of Pennsylvania, HITCHING HORSES ON THE STREETS.— Without wishing to be considered fault finders. wo must lay objection to the habit our , country people and others have, of hitching their horses on the front streets. On certain days in the week it is extremely dangerous for ttersons to walk along some of the pave ments, and now that the Ilies are bad, it is rendered more so by the restlessness of the animals, which square themselves across the fiavements and sidewalks, kick, and paw up , the dust, and otherwise tender it unsafe for persons, particularly children, to get along. Almost every day we notice a horse breaking his bridle or something of the sort, and wc 5 think it would be about as cheap for our ' friends, in the aggregate, to put their horses ; up, and thereby avoid all danger from run- I ning away,or injuring others. To THE FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE IN BED FORD AND SOMERSET COUNTIES: —From all sections of our State, as well as our common country, comes the manifestations of awak ened interest among the people in the cause of Temperance, and the determination ex pressed by renewed labors to lessen the per sonal degredation, poverty, pauperism, and crime produced by intemperance, and to sup press the trafic in intoxicating liquors the prolific parent of these evils. The men engaged in the liquor traffic, supported by appetite, love of gain, and large pecuniary resources, perceiving that the success of the Temperance cause will be the death of their business, have convened, and will strenously resist the movement. It has, therefore, be. come more necessary than ever for the friends of Temperance to combine for concerted ac tion. At the State Temperance Convention lietd at Ilarrisburg, on the lfith of February last, it was resolved that, Whereas, The Temperance work is now carried on by a variety of organizations and instrumentalities, acting separately a.id in dependently of each other, but animated by a cotpmon faith aud laboring for a common end; Aud Whereas, It is deemed advisable, for the utmost efficiency, that a union should be formed, which, whilst leaving each organiza tion free to labor in its favorite method, shall be the recognized representative of all, and form a common bond and a common channel through which the influence of all may be felt in the work of temperance. reform. Therefore, an organization named the Penn sylvania State Temperance Union was by the convention authorized and perfected. By means of Temperance L'nions in each coun ty, it is intended, to carry with increased vigor the principles of Temperance to every por tion of the State, aud submit them to the en lightened judgment of the people. The un dersigned, desirouß to form a "Union" that shall prove a common centre to promote uni ty of action among the friends of Temperance in Bedford and Somerset counties, do most earnestly invite ail the Churches, Colleges, Seminaries, Academies, lodges of Good Tem plars, Sons of Temperance, Temple of Hon or, and all the Temperance organizations who hold and teach 'Total abstinence" from the use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage to be a right practice, and the prohibition in the traffic in such drinks to be the right and duty of the State, to meet by delegates in convention, in Bedford, on Wednesday, 2, o'- clock P. M. July, 31, 1867, for the purpose ot forming a Bedford and Somerset County Temperance Union, and to consult and de vise plans for the promotion of the cause of Temperance in the said counties. The Churches, Colleges, and Temperance organizations, Ac., above named are request ed to send delegates from each, not exceed ing ten in number, and all tricnds of Tem j>erauce who may not thns be represented, are also cordially invited to be present and participate in the convention. Let all friends of morality and Temperance take im mediate steps on the reception of this invita tion, to cause delegations to be formed, that the convention may fitly represent the cause in the aforesaid county: and "God, even our God, will bless us."

COAL JK FULTON COUNTY. —We were shown a specimen of coal taken from the surface of the ground somewhere in the Sideling Hill country, which on trial in a blacksmith fire burned beautifully. This coal did not appear to be Bitumious or Anthracite, but approxi mated nearer the latter. Every day, almost, renders it more and more certain that our county is a store house of bidden wealth, and needs only the necessary enterprise to develop it. If our citizens will not take hold of this thing and reap the benefit hereof, they must submit to the humiliation, at no distant day, of seeing it all , nss into (lie hands of outsiders who have more energy and enterprise than we have, and who will reap a rich harvest: and we can then stand back and look wistfully on, saying: "If we had only done this thing !" It will not then avail us to say "If we had only seen this," as the exemplification of the old proverb that "none arc so blind as those who will not see" will be our condemning witness. We hope that at the 11. It. Convention in August, next, this question of Minerals, especially of Coal, will receive the consideration it merits. I,et all persons possessed of any knowledge be prepared to present it to the Convention and back it up by such specimens as I hey can ob tain. — Fulton Republican. Bou. The dust on Juliana street has been intolerable for the last few days, created by the running of, we have no idea how many, empty backs. There is apparently a hack for every visitor, and not unfrequently two for every one that rides. Within the last year or two the citizens have quit patron izing the hacks, owing to the heavy advance in prices, and generally forbear visiting the Springs, or, "watch their chance and walk." To this we have no special objection, but to the dust wc have; and if haekmen cannot see their own interests, and are determined to keep up the prices and do nothing, we hope they will throw their dust into some other body's eyes —not ours. JAMES \\. C'OFFCOTH, of Sacramento; son of Mrs. Samuel Vondcrsmith of this place, has received the Democratic nomination for Congress from the 2d district (Higbey'a) of California. Mr. C. is a Pennsylvania!!, a cousin to the Hon. A. 11. Coffroth,of Somer set, and was at one time connected with the ''Spirit of the Times," a daily Democratic paper in Philadelphia. He went to C'alifornta 1851, and was elected to the Legislature ot that State in the same year. He served two terms in the Legislature, and two terms in the State Senate, after which he held the po sition of Secretary of State under Gov. John Bigler. He is represented as a man of fine abilities. 11 AS OFF. —A borse belonging to Abraham Shoemaker, attached to a spring wagon, be came frightened whilst standing in front of the Mengel House, on Tuesday, aud ran down Juliana street, and thence down Pitt at a terrible rate. The r.river was thrown out of the wagon iu front of Heckemians' drug store, and somewhat injured, and the horse and wagon finally brought up in front of the residence of Wm P. Nchell. completely de molishing the wagon, smashing up a tree box and the house spouting. get?
