lion. Francis Jordan, Secretary of the

Before h" went into the army, Mr. Jordan
was a leading lawyer in Bedford, and had a

well read, an able advocate and a thorough
businessman. We have had the pleasure to
associated with him in other days, and

predicting that he will be eminently success
full when he returns to the practice, as he

THE REPUBLICAN BRASS BAND. —This or

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.

I. In pursuance of General Order, -No. 11,
issued by order of the Commander-in-Chief,
and instructions from Department Head
quarters. Post No. 102, G. A. R., will assem
ble in their rooms, on the afternoon of 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.

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

There being no further business, the meet

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.
