1 THE BEDFORD Conmr Poon HOESE AND |
j llorsK OF EMPLOY* EFT.— BeIow we present j
1 the Report of Mr. llall on the Poor House [
of Bedford county. We hope it will be read
jby every tax-payer in the county. It is so
j complete that it is entirely unnecessary for us
j to comment upon it at present:
! To the Honorable the Judge* of the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Bedford County, at
j April. Sessions, 18G8.
The Keport of William Maclay Hall, audi
itor, pro tit certificate of appointment hereto
attached, to take testimony, find the facts,
and make report, Ac., in the matter ot the
recommendation of the Directors of the Poor
and of the House of Employment ot Bedford
County, iu regard to the erection of a new
Poor House, and the sale of the present
Poor-House property, respectfully represents:
That having been first duly sworn to per
form the duties of his appointmeut with fidel
ity, and having given notice of the time and
place of hearing by publication in both news
papers published in Bedford, he proceeded
to take testimony, lull notes ot which are
: hereto attached. And yonr auditor reports
the following facts as deduced from and sus
tained by the testimony:
First. That the buildings on the present
property are not at all suitable for the proper
maintaining and employment of the Poor.
That the building known as the poor-house
is entirely too small; of inconvenient arrange
ment: illy ventilated; with no means of keep
ing the sexes separate; no arrangement for
heating except stoves: no proper place for
keeping a patient with contagious disease: uo
proper place for insane persons; no running
j water in the building, nor water closets; and
that there is an imperative necessity for the
erection of a building in which the defects
above enumerated would be remedied.
Second. That there is an open space be
tween the Stewaru's house and the poor
house, which is about 150 feet long, and 80
feet wide, from the turnpike to the race,
which would be suitable for the erection of a
proper poor house: that the mill race is an
admirable sewer for carrying off all offensive
matter; that the old building could be retain
ed and used to advantage for wayfarers: that
the spring at the foot ot the mountain, which
now supplies the property with water, is am
pie and never failing, and can he carried in
pipes to the top of a three storied house: in
short that there is no better location as to
water and sewerage to be found anywhere.
Third. That your auditor has examined i
with sonie care the accounts, cheek books,
and auditors' reports ot the Poor House from
184:1 to 1800, inclusive; that the remainder,
from l v il to 1868, were not examined for
want of time; thai the manner of keeping the
accounts, cheeks and reports for the .-aid
years is neither business like nor accurate;
thst there are grent obscurities and opportu
nities for errors, and some things which look
very much like errors: that no prudent man
would manage his business or keep his books
as the business and books of the Poor House
Mill have been managed and kept; that, as
per statement hereto attached, the receipts of
the mill over the expenditures from Dec. 2,
l c l2, to Jan. 1, 18C1, amounts to $544.86.
! ■ ig $30.27 per annum, and that iu fact if
all the expenditures for the mill, race, dam
and miller's house, and in managing and
carrying on the business of themili, and the
bad debts made for mill products, could be
ariived ut with precision, the expenditures of
the mill duriug said period have exceeded
the receipts, probably by a considerable
amount.
Fovith. That the mill, and miller's house,
with about two acres adjacent, including the
upper garden and ground enough to make a
basin to hold a supply of water, could be sold
for from eight to twelve thousand dollars.
Fifth. That the Poor House farm contains
520 acres, most -ot which is mountain land.
That, apart from the mill, this would sell for
from four to six thousand dollars; that except
a good garden of an acre or two and a tolera
t.ly good meadow of about wenty acres, there
is about forty acres of cold and wet second
class farm land, and the remainder is moun
tain pasture and timber, most of it of very
little \alue.
Sixth. That certain persons have offered
for sale farms, as per offers hereto attached,
as follows:
Ist. The property of John Samuel and
Daniel Snyder, situate in Snakespring town
ship, containing 17:1 acres and allowance of
6 per cent, and adjoining lands of W. Forney,
Michael Warehain, Andrew Snoberger, John
Sin Jer, Jacob Sryder and Miehael S. Rite! ey.
Thin tract is offered at the sum of sixty
dollars per acre in payments, and is reported
to possess a never failing stream of water
which can be carried to any part of a build
ing.
Second. The property ot John Hafer, sit
uate in Bedford township, containing 100
acres more or less, and adjoining lands of
Wm Smith, the Hofidaysburg turnpike on
:h the East, lands of Samuel Diehl, David
Points, Charles Stnckey, and Ezra William
son.
This property is offered for the sum of sev
en thousand dollars, and is report.-d to pos
sess only fifteen acres of uncleared land, to
he all tillable, to contain a good orchard;
limestone and brick clay for building purpo
srs, and an excellent quality of water which
may be carried at the different building sites
io elevations averaging from 14 to 8* feet.
Third. The property of Jerry Shea, situ
ate in Shavers Valley, Cumberland Valley
township, c:.n f ain : ng about 160 acres, 75
acres ot which is cleared. Is well watered. I
This tiaet is offered for the sum of three i
thousand five hundced dollars in payments i
••viih interest, and is reported to he principal- I
ly limestone, and to possets 15 acres of rnt-a- j
S< nth. That there have been three new j
mills, to wit: Hartleys' foam mill, Dicken's j
mill, in Bedford township, and Geo. Black- !
burn's mill, in Snake Spring township, which j
have been erected within the last law years, j
within the custom of the Poor House mill. |
si that the custom work of the said mill is •
not sufficient to keep it going, and in order j
to carry on said mill, it is necessary to buy i
grain and use a capital of about four thou- i
-and dollars, and that the business is attend- I
ed wish risk, and is illy suited for the man- j
agement of Poor Directors and their Steward. 1
Ail of which is res ectfully submitted.
\Y. M. HALL, Auditor.
The following is ;he order of the Court di- j
reeling the building of a new Poor House.-
And now, to wit: May 2, 1868, the Court |
upon hearing and due consideration approve
s > much of the report of the Grand Jiny as
recommends the erection of anew poor house,
for the purpose of comfortably sheltering and
maintaining of poor, sick and iusane persons,
rto-iired by the law to be supported by the
county—ar.d disapprove of that part of said !
report which recommends the sale of the !
farm and j r perty on which the present poor |
house now stands. By the Court.
The following exhibit will be a very grat ■
ifying one to the Democratic voters of Bed j

Mill has paid. Read it, study it and then as

THE MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.—' We fully
: endorse the following which we copy from
the Bedford Gazette:
In onr issue of two weeks ago. we called
attention to the failure in carrying out the
laudable purposes of this organization. We
assigned the palpable reason for this failure
to its true cause, —"too many talkers and too
few workers" —too many to say the work
ought and must be done, bui too few to make
the persona! exertion necessary to accom
plish it. Iri this, we distinctly excepted the
Central Committee of the Association from
censure, and wish now to state again that
our remarks did not apply to that Committee.
The individuals composing it, are "high
toned" gentlemen in whom ail have confi
dence. and the failure of the enterprise can
not be traced either to lack of exertion on
their part, or to want of publie confidence in
them. They did their duty in the premises.
The chairman at his own personal expense,
amounting to tiforc than any town or town
ship subscription we have heard ot, except
ing, perhaps, that of this Borough, made
1 a trip to Philadelphia, to discuss, and ar
range plans, with one of onr first sculptors,
so as to be able to submit to the entire
county organization, when assembled, intel
ligent and reliable data as to the cost, time
of erection, Ac., ol different plans, and Yari
ong sizes of sarue plans, and having arranged
for the time, after the order should be given-,
at which the monument should be completed,
he returned home, to report to the Com
mittee and see what amount of funds could
be relied upon, so that the monument might
be ordered according to the means provided.
This we do know, that bad a tithe of the
personalrexertiou and outlay been made by
citizens in general, that was manifested by
the Chairman, the "monument'' would, be
fore this time, have been a "fixed fact,"
alike honorable to the dead and creditable to !
those erecting it.
The Central Committee had no idea that j
any money, except that reported to the :
Treasurer, had been realized in any borough I
or township, until the intimation recently j
i given, that in the neighboring borough of!
Bloody Run, such a fund bad been collected, i
U'e make this statement in justice to the
County Committee aud their Chairman.
Ax AXON rvors COMMUNICATION. —Contrary
to custom we present to our readers the fol
lowing anonymous effusion which we found
upon our Mile a few mornings since. Whether
it is the out-burst of a lucid interval of "one j
more unforlunifte," or the plight of some
vivid imagination, we cannot soy. If the first,
we suggest that he apply to the Good Temp
lars who have the necessary blanks to suit
bis case, and if the second, wo do not know
any better place to apply than the IXQDIRKR !
office. So, step up, frieud, and if you are not
blanker than we presume yon to be, we have
some blanker blanks than you are with which
we will be pleased to supply you, and if in
addition you Will read the INQUIRES, believe
and practice all it ndvoeates for ten years,
it will work an entire cure:
Messrs. Kdilors: —The greatest feature of
this world is change, and all are subject to its
decree. Whether animate or inanimate, ra
tional, or irrational: material or im
material; change is written upon all,
and all must change. From this decree
of fate I have not escaped; for I
have changed, and fallen from that
high position in society, in which j
> I once moved. lleing the only
son of a fond mother and doting
father: h ing the caressed of kind and gentle
sisters, all the care and attention that could be
given to any one was bestowed upon me, and :
1 was as pure as the snow, but I fell!
"Fell liketlie snow flakes from heaven-to hell; (
Fell to be trampled a# filth in the street;
Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat.
Pleading,
Cursing,
Dreading to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for a morsel of bread;
Hating the living, and fearing the dead;
Merciful God have I fallen so low;
And yet 1 wasonje like the beautiful snow." '
Alasltis but too true; for being permitted j
to drain the cup which contained the domes- I
tic wine sipping it dry with a teaspoonfull
now and a table spoonfull again, I soon over
came nature and formed an appetite for that
which "killed dad and ruined the family."
So here I am with all lost and gone save my
clothes and they too are hastening towards
dilapidation.
Xow sirs. I noticed in the last issue ot the
"INQUIRER" that you keep constantly on hand
"All kind of blanks for sale." If this be
the cage will you be kind enough to enclose j
to me a blank character, a3 I have passed a
resolve, and desire to fill up said blank with
anew, unspotted reputation, and gain once
mure my lost estate. A. 15.
BEDFORD, PA. MAY 8, 1868.
THE REAL ESTATE AGENCY of Durborrow
A Lutz, has effected the sale of a number ot
tracts of land within the last few weeks.
This is one of the best means of disposing of
laud that can be successfully employed.
Lands are sold at the price established by the
owner, without any effort on his part, and at
comparatively little or no expense; and with
out 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. j
A Nt MBER of persons are availing them
selves of our proposition to furnish the IN
QUIRER and Xcv York Tribune for one year
for THREE DOLLARS. They will please re
member that we want the money in advance
—s2 for the INQUIRER and SI for the Tribune.
The liberality of the proposition must be ap
parent to all and unless we have the money
for both papers is ADVANCE, we cannot do
it. We ought to introduce at leust 000 cop
ie of the Tribune into the county by this
arrangement. tf.

11. E. I'BU't. JOSIAH rAIIKNEY.
Farmers will please look at the great advantage
in Thrashing Grain with
GEYSERS' PATENT SELF-REGULA
TING GRAIN SEPARATOR,
CLEANER AND BAGGER.
45 ith the latest Improved Tripple-Geared liorse
Power, driven cither by Gear or Belt.
No. 1 is a eight-horse power, with cast iron
thresher fratuc and wrought iron and wood cylin
der, sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-throe
inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and
seven rakes is thirty five inches wide, and deliv
ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the
straw out on their tops, and deliver it on the
'tack t.r. which will deliver about thirty fire feet
beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen
feet high, and can be easily managed to carry
the chaff with the straw, or deliver if in a sepa
rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed,
io confina the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi
culties in cleaning grain against windy weather.
It >ags the grain l>y reasonable management, suf
ficiently clean for market, and Us capacity, under |
ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty
bashel? | or hour, using eight horses and the saute
number of hands: but to force the work under
favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty
to fifty bushels per hour, and with more ease and
agrrcableness to hands than any other machine
nor in common use.
The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's
use; in intending to apply to any common lever
or rtilway power: weighs 1,309 pounds; has an
iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12J inches in
diaucter and 28 inches long; delivers the clean
grain in hags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It
delivers the straw fifteen fret from the feeder, or
if drsired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth
er: will tbiesh and clean, in good grain, ready for
market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from
JUKI lo 500 bnshets of oats per day. using four or
sit horses, and the same number of hands: but to
force the w-rk, under most favorable circum
stances, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean ]
considerable more. The Machine will thresh and
eh an all kinds of grain generally threshed with
tbc common machine, and requires no more liore j
power, bat in many cases doea nut run so
bard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail
way power.
Now here i- what tbe Farmer and tbrc.-herman
vanta, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to
(brash grain, with more satis faction than any
other separator now in use, and why ia it? Be
eause this separaior has a self regulating Blast,
which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff,
a: i als > has a -elf regnlating feeder to feed the
cleaner and it has rollers and combe in ite clcaa
cs which prevents it from t-hoaking. Why does
this machine run so light, and give so little trou
ble.' Because there i* bs friction in the Jour
lials, od the rakes and far. arc geared so (hat you
havej.o trouble with Belts breaking and slipping,
eaustag dost to fall into the wheat. Why docs it
clean a-ainst the wind? Because the blast has
j direct a lion on the grain and the cleaner is so
well nrrnng-d ifcat the wind ha- no chance to
drive he Girt into the hopper. Why is it l-uilt
permanently on two wheels and the front car
ringe separate, ready to attach when necessary ?
Be ui ,• it is no-re ■■ veuient in the barn without
the frost carriage. You can turn the machine or
run i* f-om place to place more ea-ily. Why has
it not . t E'ev-.urs liko some other machines ?
1 eca.i: ihe Elevators carry the fifth back alter
nate y iato the cleaner which must eventually go
into the go id wheat or io the chaff, and all know,
that fiiii aid ; e kept separate for feed, Ac.,
we mi t as well k-ep shoveling the Tailiags
from un ler nut hand fan into the popper and ex
po :to t the grain clean. Why is this separa
tor moi cleaner and satisfactory to work about
; than others*'? Because the Fan an I Trunk SHee
1 aro 11 -i dup to preicnt the wheat chaff and dust
from 1.-tiling out and scattering over llie floor,
i causing wai.-t and giving much trouble with dirt
i and 'e eves, Ac. Why do Thre.-hcrmen get
iao:e v i'k with these separators ihan they do
with odors ? Because this separator ha- Jill these
S advantages and many more, which makes it a
I separator suitable and a paying one for all
I fanne-a and Thra.-hermen that have grain to
thrash, whilst in most eases farmers must suit
tbctcsdves to the machine, because the machine
j wilbnit suit itself to the farmer, fn short, this
is tiie cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and
Imo.-t agreeable t" work about and iho only separ
ator that wi'.i clean and bag the grain sufficiently
dean for market under all circumstances.
Farmers can rest assured th it this machine is
no humbug, and judging from tho high recom
mendation of farmers that are using them, we
must come to the conclusion that it is tho very
Machine that farmers want anil will have as 30011
as they have an opportunity lo appreciate and
attest its merits, for which we hope they will give
us aa opportunity, a- we are willing to be respon
! -:ble if it does not perform as represented in this
i Cirrslar. N.'—p price* oj U whine* rouye from

represented: r'so against any reasonable defects
