We hope our friends in ar fir subscription, advertising arid Job v - rk will bravely ccme to our assistance. '' c- have no reason to complain of our sub 'criliers. We have never called upon them •'I vain: when ever we Lave asked them ' ■ y have cheerfully responded, twitting us for r.nr dunning propensities. There are a tew, however, that we cannot reach, or at 'vast they never respond. This class we hope •ill consider themselves specially addressed and come up to the "scratch."

TEMPERANCE MEETING. —The friends of i Temperance will hold a public meeting in the Court House, on Wednesday evening, the 29tb of April, (Court week.) The meeting will be addressed by a number of persons. The ladies of Bedford Lodge of Good Tam piars will, at intervals, entertain the audi ence with choice vocal music. The public, and especially all friends of Temperance, are invited to attend. 2t * "Ft'S FOR THE Doc, UL'T DEATH TO THE MAN." —Among the acts passed by the re cently adjourned Democratic Legislature of! Maryland was one reciting that in Centreville, j Queen Anne's county, "the otcner of etery j dog or hitch for tchich a license shall be oh tdined shall hace a collar put around kit or her neck." Should tbe owner nor wear the prescribed collar, the dog is to be shot, or otherwise destroyed, and the owner is to be fined! A MEMBER, of persons are availing them selves of our proposition to furnish the Ix- QI IKER aud A'eir York Tribune for one year ■ for THREE DOLLABS. They will please re member that we want the money in advance —s2 for the INQUIRER and $1 for the Tribune. The liberality of the proposition must be ap parent to all and unless we have the money' for both papers IN ADVANCE, we cannot do it. We ought to introduce at least bOO cop ies of the Tribune into the county by this arrangement. tf. Ho.v. G. W. HOUSEHOLDER. —We have, for some time past, been in receipt of a sprightly little daily paper, published in Kansas City, Mo., called the Keening Bulletin, and we j were some-what agreeably surprised to fiud j the name of our former citizen and ex-Sena- j tor, G. W. Householder, at its head as one of the editors. Judging by appearance and j from the ability already displayed in its col ums, the Bulletin starts out with fair hopes of success. We welcome Mr. Householder into the fraternity of "quill drivers," and hop e that his enterprise may prove gratifying in every particular. COMPLIMENTARY. — The Juniata Sentinel in speaking of the contested election case from that Senatorial District, wherein Shughart j (Dera.) was ousted through his having heen elected by fraud, and ltobison. (Hep.) was rightfully given his seat, says: "The case was conducted on the part of Col. Robison by the Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford and H. Bncher Swoope, of Clearfield. The ability, energy and learning tbey exhib ited daring this long and tedious trial proves | them to tie two of the greatest lawyers in the 1 •State. The thanks of the Republican party in the State are due them for the successful issue of this important trial and the triumph of right over fraud and treachery. BOUND WESTWARD. —During the past few days a numlier of our neighbors have disposed of their goods and taken their departure for the western countries: among whom are F. Barton, Wm. Grisinger, T. A. Young. John 1.. Grove. P. N. Kenyan, S. Palmer, Thos. Piper and John W. Gates. Although it is with feelings of regret that we gave them the parting hand, it still affords some consolation to those they have left, to know that they have a clean record behind them, and wheresoever their lots may be cast their good influences | will be felt, and we hope tbey may find con- • genial homes, and be richly rewarded lor all their labors. Our best wishes go with them for their future prosperity and tranquility.— Bedford County Press. COMMUTATION. —The commutation oftwenty five cents per day for rations of enlisted men who hare been prisoners of war, is now be ing paid at the office of the Commissary General of Prisoners in Washington City, and quite a large number of cases have been disposed of already. A statement was made a short time ago in reference to the com mencement of these payments, in which it was said that the commutation was due to officers who had been | risoners of war. This is a mistake. None are entitled but soldiers, sailors, and marines. Apply to Durborrow 4 ! Lutz. Ox THE BKXCH. —Col. I>. Watson Rowe, lately appointed additional Law Judge fortLe IGth Judicial District, under the recent act of the Legislature, presided at the Court in this county, this week, in the absence of bis Honor, Judge King. This is the first "sit" for Judge Rowe he takes to his new voca tion as naturally and gracefully as if be had been born to it. We believe all parties are satisfied and pleased with the new Judge, if we may be permitted, judge,from the meed of praise bestowed on this young disciple of B'ackstone. Judge Rowe, it i? said, is the youngest member of the Bench in the State, and the appointment could not have heea bestowed more meritoriously.— Fulton Be publican.

A SOLDIER'S MOXUMF.NT. —Thegoodcitizens of this place who subscribed money liberally and paid two years ago for the purpose of erecting a monument at a suitable place in the county, to the honor of our soldiers that fell in the late war. are exceedingly anxious IN know if the money is to be appropriated as tbey were made to believe when collected. Why this project failed we are unable to sav, unless, from negligence or a want ot j appreciation of the hardship? incident to war ; our soldiers experienced. We have . to believe it was not owing to the want ot j means for so tar as we can understand, these were supplied. The erection of a monument |to the honor of men who sacrificed their I lives in order the perpetuation of onr gov | crnment might be secured, should not only 1 cause us to feei favorable toward.? it, but we should encourage the project every way lin our power. We have already intimated j sufficient means have been secured to erect ; the monument, aud we hope the citizens of Bedford County will not prove themselves so lost to honor and respect for the memory | J of our fallen heroes as to permit this project to fall through.— Bedford County Press, "THE SWEETEST THING IN LIFE" is good health and good spirits, and if you have them not, the next best thing ia what will restore bloom to the fad?d cheek and happiness to the drooping heart. The great and sure remedy is Plantation Bitters, which our physicians recommend to both male and female patients as a safe, reliable, agreettble and cordial stimulant. They contain nothing to disagree with the most delicate constitu tion, and have won golden opinions from all who have tried them; and probably no article was ever tried by so many persons. They elevate the depressed and give strength to the weak. 2t 1 HE REAL ESTATE AGENCY of Durborrow k, Lutz, has effected the sale of a number of tracts of land within the last few weeks. I'his is one of the best means of disposing of . land that can be successfully employed. Lunds are sold at the price established by the owner, without any effort on his part, and at comparatively little or no expense; and wi,h nut the public even knowing whose lands are I offered, for sale. Persons having lands to sell will do well to employ them while those desiring to buy should not fail to apply at once. tf. INTRODUCTIONS.— -To introduce persons who : are unknown to each other, is to undertake | a serious responsibility, and always involves i the indorsement to each of the respectability iof the other. This responsibility should nev er be undertaken without first ascertaining whether it will be acceptable to both parties to become acquainted. Always introduce t he gentleman to the lady—Dever the contra ry. 1 his rule is to be observed everywhere, socially, or otherwise. The chivalry of eti quette assumes that the lady is invariably the superior by right of her sex, and that the gentleman is honored by being presented. W here the sexes are the same, present the younger to the elder, the unmarried, or the inferior in social rank or talent to the SB peri I or. A gentleman should never be introduced j to a lady without first asking her permission. —Exchange. I THE UNCOMMERCIAL TRAVELER —liy Charles Dickens, is published by T. B.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY. —At t' e monthly meeting of the Board of Directors, held on Wednesday, April H, a resolution was passed, calling a geooral meal ing of the stock holders on the 11th May, "to consider the propriety of authorizing I the creation ot a new preferred stock ot said cimpany to promote the general corporate purposes of said company to the amount of two millions of dollars, upon which a perpet ual dividend of six per centum per annum, and no more, shall be paid ont of the profits of the said company." The subjoined resolution, was also, unani mously" adopted: "Resolved , That, if tbe finance committee shall so determine, it shall have power to au thorize and direct the president of this com pany to subscribe, on behalf of Baid company, for one million of dollars of the first mort gage bonds of the Pittsburg and Counellsville Railroad Company." The Cumberland and Wheeling project, popularly known in Western Pennsylvania as the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad, is gradually assuming positiveness indicative ofjprnsecution.— S. Bail road and Mining Register. SQUALLY. —The weather for the past ten days has been awful "squally,"—first sun shine, then rain, then snow, then stormy, then freezing, followed by sunshine. On Thurs day night of last week it commenced snowing and kept it up at intervals until Friday noon, leaving the ground covered to the depth ot six or eight inches. On Saturday morning we were again greeted with tbe genial rays of old Sol, and his penetrating warmth soon made way with nearly ail of the "pale man tle" that so untimely covered the fast bloom ing earth. Sabbath morning opened bright with sunshine: at nine o'clock the sky was o'ercast with clouds, and before noon there had fallen a copious shower of rain, in termixed with a storm of hail and followed by a squall of snow, which latter kept op du ring the day, with bat an occasional short in termission, and Monday morning again found an inch or more ot snow on the ground, am which fast disappeared under the influence of the bright shunshine which again appear ed to dispel the gloom occasioned by the ex tremely bad weather of the previous week. And np to this time (Tuesday) the air is quite disagreeable and chilly, and it is our opinion that the venerable "weather clerk" has had bis hands full to keep tally with the changes, and it is feared, that unless he does better for us in the way ot good weather, we shall be compelled to order a new almanac— one to suit, not make, the weather. BEDFORD AND BRIDGEPORT RAILROAD.— Twenty two mites of railroad are needed to connect Bedford with the PitUburg and Connellsville Railroad at Bridgeport, twelve miles from Cumberland, and not a few are the financial expedients proposed, wherpby to raife the money. An article in the Bedford Inquirer of Ai>ril 3d, credited to the Bedford Gazette, said to be "from the pen of a gentleman fully conver sant with the business of constructing rail roads." inquires—"How can tbe means tie obtained to build it, if no help can be obtained frr,m abroad ?" True it is that, in many parts of the coun try, no sooner is a railroad company incor porated than "help" "from abroad" is longed for, sought for; even those who are assured against loss, by reason of owning real eitate ' that would be enhanced by the road, prefer- ; ring to contribute words to a prevailing ex citement rather than subscribe dollar? to hasten construction. ; After his interrogatory, the "gentleman ; fully conversant with the business of con ! strucling railroads'V-perhaps an experienced ' contractor or solicitor—continues: "There are, we think, twenty men, at j eaM, in the town of Bedford, who are ftbun- 1 dantly able to invest SI,OOO each in the stock : of the company. As many more can tontri bnte SSOO each, and an equal number $250 each, on the average, making a total of s•'>s,ooo, and the townships through which the proposed route lies can, without difficul ty, contribute the following amounts: —Bed- ford township. $30,000: Napier township, $20,000: Harrison township, $8,000; London derry township, $13,000 —making, with the town of Bedford, the sum of SIOO,OOO, and other townships might be relied upon to contribute enough to cover any excess in the foregoing estimate. "The second resort, which should be only auxiliary to private subscription, is a county subscription to the capital stock of tbe company, upon the following plan, which we think the only proper one: "Ist. No bonds to be irsued, but the subscription to be paid in -such a number of instalments as wil prevent the tax tor tbe purpose from being oppressive. 2d.
