TUB Host) TO GIB Srtusos.— Previous to
the recent rains, a ride to the Springs, at aiiy
time between the hours of 9 A. M. and 4P.
Mi, of a clear day, was anything but a pleas
ure. Between dust and heat it became a
punishment instead. Such things should not
be. It is to the interest not only of the pro
prietors of the Springs, and the keepers of
the boarding houses and. hotels, but of the
public, that these things should be remedied.
We invite visitors from all parts of the coun
try to come here, to a pleasant summer re
treat from the heat and hurry of city life,
and we will find it to our account to not only
offer them the healing waters and cool shade
of the immediate vicinity of the Springs, but
also pleasant drives and walks, as they may
prefer, to and from the town. Now asmoth*
ering dost aud broiling son present small in
ducements to riding, driving or walking. In
fact, a walk to the Springs is almost an im
possibility, during dry weather, on account of
the dust and heat. What shall be done to
make the walks aud drives to and from the
Springs pieasant and inviting at ail times dur
ing the summer? First, a better road is
wanted. The existing road should be mac
adamized, which would do much to allay the
intolerable dust that now covers the road
through its whole length. Next shade trees
should be planted along the whole length of
the road, aud on both sides. This in a few
years would make the road a pleasant one for
riding or driving at all hours of the day. In
the third piace, at least one good foot-path
should be constructed, and if but one it
should be along side the carriage way, but
raised above it so as to secure pedestrians
from the danger of contact with wagons car
riages. Ac. Messrs. Smith aud Ilobarts have
already made a movement in this direction by
constructing a toot-path from the Arandaie
House along the hillside below the Springs
road and coming out to it a short distance this
side of the Springs. This is a good begin
ning, and when completed will be a delight
ful walk. Why should not this walk be ex
tended to the town, byway of the Grove.' It
could be made at a small expense along the
bank of the Shovcrs run, coming out some
where m the neighborhood of the Catholic
church. This would make a cool aud shady
walk, away from the dust of the carriage road.
We call attention to these things, hoping that
parties may lie found enterprising enough to
inaugurate these improvements and carry
them on to a successful completion. Why
should not managers be appointed in accord
ance with the provisions of the deed we pub
lished two weeks ago. who should charge all
visitors a small sum for '.he use of the waters
ot the Springs, whic-h should constitute a
fund to be expended in thus improving the
waits and drives in the neighborhood of the
Springs, thereby enhancing their value, and
increasing the general prosperity of the com
munity, by each succeeding year presenting
additional inducements to visitors, whether
for health or pleasure, to come and spend the
sultry ilays of summer in the enjoyment of
our cool mountain breezes and health giving
waters. Who will make the first movement?
When shall the work be begun?
ii vjuuu LIUAJ rIJK CNt EST.MENT.
Great difficulty has been experienced
here by persons who desire to erect or extend
buildings from the want of material wherewith
to accomplish their designs. It is almost
impossible tt7 procure a 101 l oupplv if
necessary material required in the erection
oi ithe most unpresutning building without
running over two or three counties. Nor
does the difficulty consist in the article of
lumber alone . even brick, an article that
should lie abundant everywhere are not to be
had. unless at figures ranging from ten to
fifteen dollars per thousand, and very few at
these unpalatable prices. There is no better
opening in the state for a party, with a small
capital, to establish himself in a lucrative
and permanent business. He will want one
of the latest Press Brick Machines, which
will cost from one to two thousand
dollars, and press from three to eight thou
sand brick per day. Brick made by these
machines arc made without water and can be
set into a kiln and burned at once. It is evi
dent that very little expense 13 incurred in
their manufacture. We hope some enterpri
sing person wiil take hold ol this matter and
supply a want feit on every hnd.
The same difficulty exists in regard to lum
ber. If an individual desired one thousand
feet <>f the most ordinary boards, he would
be obliged to take a pilgrimage to the sum
mit of the Allegheny mountain to procure
them, ar make a circuit of ail- the little saw
mills within a radius of fifteen miles, over
the worst of roads How can our citizens
build under such circumstances? He must
be a bold and adventurous man who under
takes :t. Why is this the case? The only
answer is. thatour peopie have no enterprise,
they are too indifferent to the real wants of
tbe community, or they are not alive to the
principle that any business, energetically
pushed, wiil pay better than that which is
over-stocked and indifferently conducted.
We have frequently remarked the tendency
of our village people to ran into store and
shop-keeping, whiie there are a dozen of
other branches of business, perhaps better
understood, uot touched. Men appear to
think that they Have only to procure a few
notions and the common necessaries of life,
and peopie will drop in and purchase, and
wealth will be immediately realized. It is all
folly. There are uoi five men in the county
to-day who have made fortunes out of store
or shop-keeping alone. Tbe general result
is that after spending a life-time at tbe busi
ness they come out with a sixpence less than
they went in with. How different the system
in the Western and New England States: a
man desires to establish himseif in some
business: the first question is, what business
is not fully represented? When the entire
field is looked over, the business which is
least crowded i 3 selected, and thus energy is
thrown into every branch of industry, and
the communities conducted on this principle
advance as rapidly in one year as the commu
nity in which we move does in twenty-five.
It is about fime that the rising, or a still more
active generation take hold of things, or in a
few more years Bedford will b- numbered
with -the rains of Thebes and I'aimyra.
These cool evenings and mornings call for
something more than the common linen—
and yet it is too early for heavier suits. Per
sons should be very careful now of taking
colds, and dress warm these evenings and
mornings. Since writing tbe above we learn
that Berkstresser 4 Co. have on band a fine
lot of gent's spring and fail overcoats, just
adapted to the season. Remember tbe place,
Juliana street. , *
Mr If vou desire a cheap farm look at
those advertized by us in Bedford Tp.-tf
Tux WATER QCESTIOX.—The new reeer
i voir, as we predicted months ago, is still un
finished, and our supply of water is no more
pientifnl than usual at this season of the year.
I urther. we believe that the reservoir when
finished {unless Sited up with iuEide abut
ments to prevent the wall from tumbling in)
will be a failure. But whether it proves a
failure or riot, there is a still more serious
evil that threatens our supply, unless
proper precautions are speedily taken to avert
it. She ''Gravel Hill,'' whence all
the watei is derived, is being gradually
cleared of its timber. This clearing off of
the woods has already Effected the supply of
water, and if the timber is, at any time, all
removed, and the land farmed, it will
fail entirely, aud the whole expenditure in
the erection ot reservoirs and laying of drains
will prove a waste of the public funds. The
Borough now possesses but a few acres of
land immediately around the reservoir, and
this has scarcely a shade tree upon it. We
have no assurance that the owners of Gravel
Hill will permit their land to He waste and
unproductive, as it is at present, for the pub
lic benefit, nor have we any reason to expect
it. As intelligent proprietors they may be
expected to remove the forests that now cov
er it and bring the land under cultivation, in
order to render it remunerative. This it
would be their right as well as their interest
to do. But can the Borough afford to permit
it to be done, and be put to the necessity of
building new reservoirs, and bringing water
from some distant 30tirce, perhaps at heavy
expense, for the supply of the town, when
the present supply may not only be preserved
but greatly increased by a judicious and time
ly improvement of present opportunities.
We understand that the Barclay heirs are
ready and willing to dispose of the portion
in their possession, which embraces the
whole north eastern portion of the hill and
nearly all of the timber iand. at a reasonable
price. Can the tax-payers of the Borough
make a more judicious expenditure of their
money, than to buy this property and piant
the part already cleared in shade trees, or
leave it to grow up gradually, by which they
I will secure a permanent supply of the best of
i water. By this means not only can the prea
j ent supply be preserved, but it can be largely
increased by laying drains and bringing the
water of the various rpriegs that are now be
yond their control, all into the present reser
voir. and when the now cleared fields should
lie again covered with forest or shade trees,
and sheltered from the direct rays of the sun
and the action of the dry winds of summer,
the quantity wonld be still further increased.
All who have any knowledge of the impor
tance of forests in preserving springs of wa
ter will see the importance of our sugges
tion. There is nothing more certain than
that the clearing off of the woods now cover
ing the summit of Gravel Hill would result in
the absolute drying up of our present sources
of water supply. How important then that
measures be at once taken to prevent auy
such calamity. Why then not seize the gold
en moment of opportunity and secure, while
we may. for the future, an abundant supply
of water?
Mabt:x Chtzzlewit. —This is the fifth vol
ume of the handsome and popular "Diamond
Edition'' of Dickens' Works, and in styie and
appearance it is an exact copy of the four
elegant tittle .uTtLmt-a .-ro-cAe-i it,
' Martin Chuzzlewit' is of unusual interest to
American readers, as it was written soon af
ter Dickens visited this country, and contains
the result of his observations. On its first
appearance it aroused great indignation in the
United States by the severity of its satire.
We were ready to admit that Pecksniff, Jonas
Chuzzlewit, Sairey Gamp, and Montague Tigg
were accurate representatives of English
society, but declared that Elijah Pogram.
Mrs. Hominy. Colonel Diver, and Jefferson
Brick were gross caricatures of people living
in America. But when we remember the
j locality of "Eden"—now better kuown to
J the world as Cairo, at the confluence of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers—the peculiarities
of the Missouri bushwhackers i •! 'heir lead
ing politicians at the time Dickens visited
America and their outrages all through the
iccent rebellion, we may forgive the novciist
for doing what the leading illustrated papers
of the past two years have done in sketching
society ig the border and Sonthcrn 3tales.
For this is exactly what Dickens has done in
"Martin Chuzzlewit." He never loses an
opportunity to sketch the fraiitiea of the
English people quite as severely, and prob
ably as truthfully as he did the "half horse,
half alligator' men who formerly ruled in the
regions bordering on the Mississippi river.
These individuals came within Mr. Dickens'
scope of acquaintance when he was here, and
they were as fair game for his satire as Peck
sniff hiraßelf.
Aside from the prejudice which once exist'
ed against this novel, and which is evidently
wearing away, it possesses a fund of humor,
pathos, and entertainment. As for this edi
tion. its pocket convenience, its clear type .
and exceedingly attract ive appearance
throughout, have already made it a favorite, J
and most deservedly so.
The price of the illustrated edition is only j
SI.JO: of tbe plain. 51.25. Either can be
procured of the booksellers, or will be sent j
post paid by Ticknor and Fields, Bocton.
IN describing a visit to oar town, the edi- i
tor ol the Indiana Democrat pays the follow- |
ing compliment to the place, and particularly j
notices the fair inhabitants in a style worthy
of commendation in him: "Suffice it to =iay j
that it is one of the handsomest, cleanest, j
healthiest towns in the State, and the "gayest i
of the gav." The people have of late years
made great improvements in their private
residences, and to those blessed with plenty ;
of this world's goods it is all that can he de
sired as a place of residence. The town is
justly celebrated for its handsome women, 1
and the worm n for their extravagance in
dress and gaiety. The city ladies who go to
Bedford to "stun" and take down the natives,
generally find themselves mistaken after a
brief stay, and are thrown quite in tbe shade !
by the superior style displayed by tbe rosy
cheekcd fair of the paragon town of the Ju- :
niata.

W k have hoard of mean men, awi among |
the we hare ever heard of waa the ;
constable who had an execution on the prop
erty of a man, the owner of a dock of duck 8,
and being compelled to catch the -kicks him
self, drove them around the housq, catching
•ne each time he came around, ani charging
mileage for the same: but, iu our dew, there I
is hardly a class of peats in moden society —
and they arc numerous—so -ujierlstively con- |
temptible as that ciaaa known as tattlers, or
meddlers in other people's business. We j
don't admire a thief; we have no affinity for
gamblers: we abominate drunkards, and hare
no respect for misers; but either of these are
tirst-ciass gentlemen in comparison with the
inquisitive, jealous-minded tattler, who goes
mousing about in a garb of social respectabil
ity, poking his nose or his fingers into the
affaire of his neighbors, and aeizag upon ev
ery trifling circumstance that cttnes within
wide swoop of his remorseless ctriosity, for
the purpose of making capital ajaintt those
whose character he cannot uncerstand be
cause it is pure and above iupcachtnc-nt. j
Those mischief-making busy-bodes are aim- i
ply an unmitigated nuisance, mil should be j
frowned upon by ail sincere lovere of social I
peace and happiness. The manor woman J
who can hod no better employment than tat
tling, had better jump into the nearest body
of water and become food for respectable
tishes. In that way the tinny tribe would
gain a little in their commissary department,
and society above water would oe immensely
purified.
