SOUTHAMPTON, MUCH EBUSED SOUTHAMP TON. —At last Southampton has determined to i cover herself with a blaze of glory. The butt and jest of the balance of the county for 1 • twenty years, she has reared herself erect j and threatens to work out her own salvation J equally well with other districts that have i laughed at her and twitted her until forbear ance has almost ceased to be a virtue. IF an • example ot iguorance was wanted, Soothamp ampton was the ready illustration on the ■ tongue of every one, and when Republicans desired to rally Democrats on the intelligence of their voting population, Southampton, where the people refused to accept the Com mon Schools, was immediately pointed to, ' and thus in a thousand different ways was Southampton sneered at, because her citizens would stand in their own light and refused to move forward in accord with the age in which we live. But last autumn a year ago some live men, men who, after their depar ture from this scene of conflict, deserve to have monuments erected to their memory as (.high as their native hills, determined that : Southampton should no longer deserve to be j the by-word and reproach of the county, f they petitioned the Court to give them a set | of School Directors that would dare to act, j knowing their duty wonld not shirk it. The Court selected them such a Board of Di , rectors, and the only nun accepting School District in Bedford county wheeled into line, und her schools have achieved, as far as we can learn, a splendid success. They opened again this Fall under moat favorable auspices and are working well. We were never willing to accuse the people of that District as harshly as many of those around us. The poverty of the people, made so by the nature of the soil, made it rather doubtful if tbey would be able to keep open their schools. The District is very large, much of it unproductive, and the settlements sparse, all of which combine to render it very burdensome and inconvenient to sustain the sehools and secure anything like attendance. Nevertheless, the good work has had a begin ning. and we hope for the schools of South ampton and their progenitors all the success and prosperity that should crown so laudable an effort.

How TO ADVERTISE. —An advertisement is not always valuable in proportion to the space it occupies A short advertisement four times is better than a long one once. A prominent advertisement once or twice will be effective, if followed up by a steady card, giving your busiuess and address. Don't take i down your sign in dull times—people read ' newspapers all times of the year. If business ; admits of it, several small advertisements, with your name repeated every time, will ' avail more than the same collected, with your name in only once. Don't fear to have a small advertisement by the side of a larger competing; the big one cau't eat it up. Small advertisements and plenty ot them is a good rule; we were all babies once, yet we ; made considerable noise. The easiest way ' in the world to accumulate a fortune is to ad- j vertise judiciously. BOUNTY CAME DECIDED.— The Supreme Court, on Thursday, delivered their opinion, in the case of the city of Lancaster v 3. Smith. This was a test case to decide the constitu tionally of the act of May 1. 1866, requiring townships, wards, boroughs, cities and coun ties to pay S3OO bounty to all veteran soldiers who had re-enlisted, and had been credited to any such localities without receiving bounty. ; Peter Smith, who had re unlisted in Decein i bcrr 1868, three months before the city had 1 offered or was authorized to pay bounties, brought suit against the city of Lancaster to \ : recover $30!) under this law, and obtained a ' ; verdict for that amount. The Supreme Court, | on Thursday, Agnew, Judge, delivering the j opinon, reversed the decision of the Court ] below and directed judgment to be entered i for the city.— Lancaster Inquire/ .

Why, those who show the bloom of health on their cheeks take Plantation Bitters, which has the power of fortifying the system against disease and of regulating the digestive apparatus. Are you dyspeptic, weak, void of energy? : Have yon little or no appetite, headache, continued lassitude and depression of spirits? Take S. T.—1860 X., and bloom and beauty will return. The Bitters have become a household friend. NARROW ESCAPE.— One eveuing last week as a sleighing party were on their way to St. Clairsvilie. in crossing the '"Red Bridges the two frout hores of the elegant ''turn-out" | furnished by Cessna 3: Henderson, and driven by Mr. A. J. Middleton, became detached, dragging the driver forward upon the tongue of the sled. Fortunately. Mr. Middleton re tained his presence of mind and the lines, and clinging to the tongue, sustained himself and stopped the houses. No one injured. Smuots RAILROAD ACClDENT—Harris burg, Jan. 31.—A serious accident occurred about 2 o'eloc t this morning on the Penosyl ■ vania Railroad, about six miles east of Hunt ingdon. It was cansed by the breaking of a rail. The fast train coming east, which left Pittsburg at 7-20 last evening, Jiad reached. Mill Creek, 166 miles east of Pittsburg, when, owing to the'eause above stated, the last five j cars were thrown from the track. Two of them were sleeping cars, one destined for New York, via AUentown, and the other for Philadelphia. Three were thrown down the embankment, and one catching fire, the flames soon reach ed the others. All were consumed. The destroyed cars were two sleeping cars and one ordinary passenger car. The locomo tive, baggage and express cars, and two for ward passenger cars, remained on the tiack, and after the accident resumed their way east with the passengers. But one person was killed, a Mrs. Anna Duggen, of No. 167 Pennsylvania avenue, | Pittsburg, I'a. The cause of her death is not known. She was found lying against a stove partially charred. Her husband is at Mifflin in a critical condition, but more comfortable to-night. He and bis brother, together with Patrick Hughes aud party, were on their way to California. The husband had his hands and face severely burned. The rest of the party escaped. The following were injured, but Dr. Uuih erford, of Harrisburg, reports nor.e of their injuries dangerous, being principally painful bruises, with no bones broken. Some of them design resuming their journey immedi ately: Mrs. Georgia Adams, of Woodland Terrace, West Philadelphia; J. Nomson, of Indianapolis: Mrs. Mary Cronse; of Kansas; W. W'iekcd, of New York; Herbert Nomson, Jr., of Philadelphia: IV. W. Ponel, of Cam den, N. J., slightly: L. Chase, of Michigan: Mrs. General Rodman and daughter, of Illi nois, and J. Busser, ot Lancaster. The first rail which was broken in half, and the next one into five pieces, showing that the track had been in perfect condition on the passage of the locomotive and first four cars over it. As an innovation deserving the utmost praise, the railroad authorities fur nished every aid to THE PRESS agent to ob tain full particulars of the accident immedi ately after its occurrence, thereby preventing exaggerated accounts from obtaining public ity. The traiu consisted of eight cars, and they captained but sixty-seven passengers, which may partially account for the small loss of life. The locomotive and first four cars remain ed upon the track, and after the accident re sumed their way East with the passengers. The remains of the dead were carefully cof fined, and the injuries of the wounded attend ed to at Mifflin, and by Dr. Miller, of Hatris burg, who was immediately despatched to the scene of the disaster by Superintendent Black. There is reason to believe that the train broke the rail in passing over it. It was moving at ordinary speed, having received special instructions at a station which it had passed six miles before not to make up any time. It was about thirty minutes late, and was in charge of Conductor Chase. The intensity of the cold made the iron brittle, aud no amount of care could prevent the breaking of the rail. To guard against this the whole road is divided into sections, and patrolled by watchman both day and night. The remainder of the train, with the bal ance of the passengers, arrived at Harrisburg at R) o'clock this morning. The stoves in all the Pennsylvania Rail road cars are securely fastened to the floor, surrounded with wronght-iron castings, and have locked doors, while neither oil nor gas is used for lighting, but simple candles.— Philadelphia Press. THE JUBILEE ST..\ .I TS —held in the Luth eran Church of this place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week were of an interesting and instructive character. The public appreciation was shown by the full \ attendance upon all the service of the occa sion. The Lutheran Church throughout the i world, as the first church of the Reformation, | is observing this, the 350 th anniversary of the Reformation, as ayear of Jubilee,in which special efforts are to be made throughout the year for extension of, and the general diffusion of information concern ing, the church. On this point information is greatly needed. There is probably no church in the United States, whose history and doctrine is so little understood among the members of her sister churches. The Lutheran Church embraces at the present time about one half of all Protestant Chris j tendom, including a population of about 15 millions. It is comparatively small in the | United States from the fact that for many i years it was exclusively German. The : whole number of communicants at pres i ent is about 250,000. It is the strongest de | nomination in Pennsylvania exceeding the Methodist by about 16,000, members.To her as the church of the Reformation, to which we owe I all the blessings of civil and religious liberty which we enjoy at the present day, we owe a lasting debt of gratitude which time only 1 continues to augment. FEARFUL ACCIDENT. — No lives Lost.— ' Friend "L," of Saxton, sends us the follow- I in?: A few evenings since a party of the young : folks of Saxton and vicinity, started out for a sleighing excursion, their destination being Morrrison's Cove. Owing to the lateness of time the programme was changed. The j sleighs were in readiness, the drivers in place and parties feeling jubilant, when the gentle- I man in front reined in his steed, aud gave him the whip something to which he was not I accustomed. The horse sprang forward, — the sleigh box not being properly secured tipped up, precipitating him and his lady in to the snow. Fortunately no body was hurt, and the party proceeded. All went well until they began to descend the western slope of Tussey's mountain when from a defect, the harness of one of the horses gave way and the Bieigh ran forward on the animal frighten i ing him so that he became unmanageable and the party were again "spilled" out. They again gathered up and started on their way in a pleasant mood, returning in due time much elated with their pleasure trip. LAW LIBRARY COMMITTE'E. —What has be come of the Iow Library Committee? Near ly one year ago the Court appointed a Com mittee to procure fur the use of the profes sion. a library—said library to be purchased with the fund accrning through forfeited recognizances. Does thi3 Committee refuse to act. or is it through neglect that this mat , ter is not attended to ? I MONEY J MONEY I WANTED Again we are compelled to call upon those who are indebted to us for Subscriptions, Ad tertising and Job Work to come forward and give us a helping hand by paying np the little sums which they owe us. We need money worse now than we hare at any time since we have been in business. Wherever we owe a debt, largs or small, we are notified to pay without grace and we desire to do so, but without money we cannot do it. There is certainly money in the country. Our farmers have received such prices for tbeir produce during the last tire years that they must have realized fortunes. They have had very heavy j crops and had to buy comparatively little. We pray they may have at least laid enough by to pay the printer. In addition to the little debts that we desire to pay, we intend to make some material improvements. We have purchased the oflice occupied by us a few weeks ago, and J. W. Lingenfelter, ad joining the Mangel House and intend erecting a three story brick building during the sum mer for our Printing office, Job office, Book Store, Law Office, and an other improvement. And, further; if our friends stand by us, as we think they should, we will increase the size of the INQUIRER during the year. Its columns have been very much crowded with advertisements for the last six months ahd yet we have rejected hundred* of dollars of foreign advertising. All this will require money and all we ask is that oar patrons pay up promptly and the improvement, which we have indicated shall be made. Send us every dollar you owe us on Court week and you wilt do as a very great favor. Those who do not owe us, and there are many of our readers who do not, will excuse us for boring them with this a r tic!e. We think that they will, however, be so pleased to hear that we are going to make further improvements that they will thank us for it and urge delinquents to pay up. The INQUIRER has been very well sustained by its friends in the couuty, in fact their are very few county papers in the State that are as well sustained, and we desire to put every dollar into it that we make out of it. to enable those who sustain it to receive the full advantage of the money which they invest in it from time to time. tc THE LECTURE on Tuesday evening, by Kev. Barrow, on Westminster Abbey was an inter esting and instructive one and well deserv ing of a much larger audience than was in attendant.. We hope to see the succeeding lectures of the course much better attended. An hour spent in listening to an instructive lecture, which these always are, while pro moting a laudable enterprise, we certainly think would be much more profitable to many of our people, than the store or bar-room conversation that we sometimes have the misfortune to be compelled to listen to. We would recommend at least a trial of the Lec tures; if for no other reason, just for the sake ol variety. We can assure such as are dis posed to try it, that they will not be harmed thereby. ACCIDENTS. —Michael Naugie residing in Boydstowi:, west of town, fell from a hay loft one day last week and fractured his leg. We understand that he is doing as well as could be expected under the cinumstances. the fracture being a very painful one. —A lady from Friend's Cove, whose name we did not learn, had her leg broken by be ing thrown troni sleigh whilu an the way to town, one day last week. The horses became frightened and ran the vehicle against an obstruction, upsetting it and throwing the occupants out. ACCIDENT IS HUNTINGDON COUNTY. —On Monday morning as the stage coach which runs daily between Alexandria and Peters burg, in Huntingdon county, was approaching the latter place, the lines were broken by the necessary stress in coming down a hill, and the horses became unmangeable and ran away. In making the turn into the bridge across the Juniata, the coach "was upset, and George Bueher was thrown over the abut ment and instantly killed. He was a gentle man highly esteemed in his community. Other passengers were injured. INFORMATION* WANTED.— William Heiiy, late of Company I), 55th Regiment of Penn sylvania Veteran Volunteers, was wounded at Cold Harbor, Virginia, on the 2d or 3d of Jane, 1864, and taken to the rear. He died a few days afterwards. Evidence of death is wanted. Any person having seen him die. or who saw him after death, will confer a favor on his widow by making affidavit to the same, and sending it to the INQUIRER office. All expenses will be paid. LAMB'S FAMII.T EMITTING MACHINE.— This valuable invention will be on exhibition at the Washington Hotel on Monday and Tues day of Court week. This machine can be made to knit a pair of common woolen stockings in from forty to forty-five minutes. It is a very desirable household acquisition. Call and see it.
