Francis Jordan, Secretary of the Commonwealth, has been admitted to prac in the several courts of Dauphin county. Before h" went into the army, Mr. Jordan was a leading lawyer in Bedford, and had a ,rge practice in the adjoining counties. He well read, an able advocate and a thorough businessman.

THE REPUBLICAN BRASS BAND. —This or anization is now preparing, by practice and otherwise, for the coming political campaign. 1 lie members of the Band deserve much rf lit for the service they have rendered the party formerly, aud should now be encour ed in whatever they undertake for a more "■ trough organization of their body.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES. —Several important changes, editorial and otherwise, have taken place among the newspapers published in the neighboring counties. Prominent we no tice the retirement of James. Pott, Esq., from the editorial chair ol the Fulton Repub lican, and the assumption of the same by Harry E. Shafer, Esq. Quite an improve, ment is visible in the face and appearance of the Republican since this event, and we hope our friend may be enabled to reap a rich re ward for bis labors in the shape of increased patronage, and that Fulton county may be benefitted politically by fhe change. We wish the Republican succee3 in every particu lar. The Hollidaysburg Standard, published by O. A. Iraugh, Esq., comes to us in a new dress, and considerably enlarged, looking as neat and as clean as it is possible fora Demo cratic sheet to louk. Aside from its politics, the Standard is one of the best country newspapers published in the State. Blair connty is blessed with quite a number of newsy ipers, but none, in our opinion, present so much evidence of an effort to be made, as all should be, good readable papers, as does the Standard. Pecuniarily, we wish it sac cess. Smith M. Robinson, Esq.. has become as sociated with the Fulton Democrat as one of the editors and proprietors. The Democrat has ul-o been improved typographically, but in politics,—(and here there is plenty of room for improvement,)—it is the same. OFFICIAL VlSlT. —Richard Watson, Grand Master, and Peter B. Long, Deputy Grand Masierofthe Independentorder ofOdd Fellows of the State of Pennsylvania, paid Bedford Lodge, No. 202, an official visit on last Friday evening. These gentlemen occupy the high est positions in the gift of the Grand Lodge, and we feel assured are in every 'particular qualified for the honorable trust reposed in them by the Order throughout the State. 1 hey were received with becoming honors by the membership, and each took occasion to speak in very flattering terms of the visible usefulness, peace and progress of the order in this county, and during the course of sub sequent remarks, paid Bedford Lodge some very high compliments. Remarks were made during the evening by Hon. Alex. King, J. K.Jordan, A. J. Middieton and P. H. Shires on behalf of Bedford Lodge, J. R. Durborrow, on behalt of Woodberry Lodge, John Taylor, for Six Mile Run Lodge, and W. A. Clip pinger for Wells Valley Lodge. The exer cises throughout the evening were both prof itable and interesting to those present. The closing remarks of Grand Master Watson were listened to with marked attention, and with a visible affect on the listeners, aud, we are assured, will be productive of much good. COUNTRY PACERS.— The Philadelphia Min ing Journal, "in speaking of country new - papers, says, those of our exchange papers which give attention to local matters, have always been looked into with interest: and we shall miss their familiar greeting, as will also "the folks at borne," to which many ot them were carried. Pennsylvania is now dotted over with cities and towns, very many of the counties being distinguished for mining perations and iudu? trial works. In these counties, as indeed iu nearly all the coun ties in the State, the local papers are gen erally mauaged with industry, tact and intel ligence, some of them with marked ability. We love the country aud towns from which one can look out into a landscape iu sum mer robes, the hill-tops bonnetted with shady groves, and the fields gay and glad with grains and grasses; where the brooks have the voices of little children, innocent and playful, and the azure sky is radiant in light which sheds a glow of glory upon the earth." HONORIS TO THE HONORED DEAD.— We cht T nlly publish the following orders for the , ictit of our soldier friends: IIIK. GRAND ARMY OI THE REPUBLIC, 1 Yashirtgton, D. C. May 5, 1808. / GENERAL ORDERS NO. 11. I. The 30tti day of May, 1608, is designa ted for the purpose of strewing with llowi rs, or otherwise decorating the graves of Com rades, who died in defence ot their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies, now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church yard in the land. Iu this ob- M-rvunce no form of ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and Comrades, wilt in their own way. arrange such fitting services and testi monials of respect as circumstances may per mit. We are organized, Comrades, as our Reg tilations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, "of preserving and strengthing those kind and fraternal feeling:.-, which have bound together the soldiers, sailors, and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a 1 itrri eade between onr country and its foes. Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains and their deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their grave.-, with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and ecurity, is but a fitting tribute to the memo ry-of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and go ing of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgot ten, as a people, the cost of a free and undi vided Republic. If other eyes grow dull, and other hands -.lack, and other hearts become cold in the solemn trust, ours shall kei p it well as long as the iigbt and warmth of life remain to us. Let us. then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them, with the choicest flowers ot spring time; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor: let us iu this solemn presence re new our pledges to and assist those whom they have left among us, a sacred charge up on a nation's gratitude, the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan. 11. It is the purpose of the Commander-in- Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed Comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of Comrades in all parts of the country in time for simul taneous compliance therewith. 111. Department Commanders, will use every effort to make this Order effective. l'y order of JOHN A. LOGAN. Commander-in-Chief. N. P. Cm CM AN, Adjutant General. Ilnqßs. DISTRICT OX BEDFORD Co., G.

Post No. 102, G. A. R., will assem ble in their rooms, on the afternoon of the •Oth day of May. 1868, at 2 o'clock, for the purpose ot carrying out the object set forth in 'he order. All Comrades, not members of the organization of the G. A. 11.. are j earnestly and cordially incited to meet and 'ake part in the exercises. It is a duty en | joined upon the survivors of the late war. to cherish a spirit of kind remembrance for l hose who. while living, stood side by side with I hem in the heat of fierce and bloody conflict, and endured with them the pangs of hunger and horrors of foul disease in the dungeon and stockade, but whose re mains now rest peacefully in our cemeteries and graveyards. "Once a comrade— always a comrade" should be our motto, and it be hooves us to ever cherish relations and asso ciations engendered during the "dark days" j that "tried men's souls." What more fitting tribute could we render lha.i by assembling around the "passionless mounds" that cover \ the last mortal remains of our brothers gone before, and by showing our respect in shedding a tear to their memory and dropping a flower ou their tombs. It is, therefore, earnestly urged, upon every citizen soldier in the neigh- j borhood, to meet and contribute to whatever i may be the exeereises ot the day. By order of the Grand Commander, 1). S.

Cox XE I.I,BVILLE RAU.BOAD MEETING.—Ac tion of the Stockholders —Adoption of the Baltimore Ordinances. Yesterday morn ing, in pursuance with the published call, a meeting of the stockholders of the Pittsburg and Counelisville Railroad was held nt the office of the company, at Grant and Water streets. This meeting was organized by calling Capt. J. R. Henderson to the chair, and appointing Wm. J. Ander son and J. 11. Page, Jr., Secretaries. W. O. Hughart, E-q., President ot the road, stated that the meeting had been call, d for the purpose of adopting or rejecting the ordinances passed by the Baltimore Councils, authorizing "the removal and extension ot the mortgage due the city of Baltimore by the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad Company, and to fund arrears of interest due thereby," together with the supplement thereto. Mr. Hughart took occasion to ex plain the provisions of the ordinances, and referred brifiy to the difficulties which had been encountered by the Company, the litiga tions to which it had beeu subjected, the ef forts to obtain the repeal of oppressive legis lation, Bnd the success which had crowned those efforts. He also referred, at some length, to the action of the Bal imore Coun cils, and stated that in all the efforts put forth by the company not one dollar has been ex pended otherwise than in a legitimate man lier. He alluded in most encouraging terms to the future of the company, and stated that the work would bo commenced at an early day, on a financial basis that would not admit of a doubt that the entire road' would be fin ished within two years. During the course of his remarks he alluded to the negotiations now pending with other companies, and inti mated that the only difficulty likely to ari-e, was from a claim by Allegheny county, but that a proposition had already been made for its speedy settlement. Upon the conclusion of Mr. llughnrt's re marks. the ordinance adopted by the Balti more Councils and the supplement thereto, were read by Mr. J. H. Page, Jr. W. S. Bisseli, Esq., offered the following resolutions: lie it resolceil by the xlocl: holders of the Filtsbvrij and ConneUjiille J tail road Com pany. in 'jeuerul meeting assembled.

The tellers announced that 2">,911 shares had been voted for the resolution, and none in opposition thereto. There being no further business, the meet ing adjourned. Pittsburg Post, Mat/ 16. EM.AROKMENT OF THE CAN Alii. — The long contemplated enlargement of the Canal to tidewater, which has hitherto been delayed by want of harmony among the several com panies owning the Canals, has now, as will appear by the following extract from the Public. Ledger, been arranged: "An arrangement of much importance to the coal, iron and lumber interests of this State, has been consummated between the several canal lines ou the Susquehanna river and its branches, embracing the Wyoming Canal, the West Brauch and Susquehanna, and Tidewater Canals. These several compa nies together owuingthe whole system of ca uals draining the great interior of the State, and connecting it with tidewater, have enter ed into a contract which takes effect imme diately. By this contract they respectively bind themselves to operate their canals as one line cn r.U through tonnage, to pro rate ; all through tolls, and to enlarge ail of their ; canals by the spring of 1871 to six feet depth j of water. It is estimated by the parties in- : terested that the above arrangements will effect a reduction of one half on the vast ton- I nage of anthracite and bituminous c ul, lum- , ber, and iron which annua ly seeks tidewater : by these lines, arid will at once create an out let for the bituminous c-oai of Pennsylvania, which will mahle it to command the New York ana Eastern markets, thereby vastly extending the business und tonnage of the ! Susquehanna valley." The main object of the enlargement is. we j presume, to afford cheap transportation to the ceal, lumber, iron ore, limestone, sand, lire clay and other heavy products of the interior j ot our State, which will uot bear the expense . ofrailroad carriage and which the railroad companies are willing to be relieved from carrying. The head of navigation will nat- ; orally be somewhere in the limits of Hunting- j don County as the Canal and Railroad diverge . at Petersburg, and the object being to avoid all the rail transportation possible, it will hardly be (ixed below our Borough, as that would throw the Broad Top trade on the Pennsylvania Railroad, until il reached the ; enlargement. The room which will be re quired for the transhipment of tho various coals, lumber, Ac., will be considerable, but j it would appear to us, that the space between the Railroad and Canal, through and above West Huntingdon, wiih some little shifting of the track and other small expenditure is amply sufficient. The importance of this matter to our town can hardly be over es timated, as it would necessarily lead to the i introduction of manufactures which would work up the raw materials thus concentrated here, and this leads us to suggest this point as well adapted to the manufacture of Pig Iron, as all the materials could be concentra ted here, such as Anthracite coal, the Bitumi nous coals along the Pennsylvania Railroad, nd from Clearlii-ld, and from Broad l op — tire Iron Ores from Bedford, from Tussey Mountain, and othct points on the Broad Top Read—from Williamsbu-g by Canal— from Baker's Bank, by Pennsylvania Rail road, from Barree, and lrom any other source, along the various railroads and on the Canal -Limestone from the dam above town by fiat boat, and Hearth Stone from Warrior Ridge only a couple of tniies away. —Huntingdon Globe.
