The proprietors have enlarged the INQUIRER to
an eight column paper. We were compelled
to do this to meet the growing wants of
our community. The addition of a column
to each page, together with considerable ad
dition to the length, will enable ns to lay
before our readers much more matter than wc did
formerly, and give them all the advantages of
both a local and general newspaper.
INQUIRER FOR TDK CAMPAIGN.
We will issue the Inquiror from the Ist of June
until tho 7th day of Novemcr, IS6B, (the close of
the Presidential campaign,) for the following

the Inquirer, since the first of February, by
paying us one dollar additional will have the
Tribune sent to them from the Ist of May IS6S,

opportunities ever offered. The campaign will be
a most animated one, and to give our readers the

A WANT.—Huntingdon rejoices in the com
pletion of a public Town Hall. Bedford has
no such building, present or prospective. A
rreat want would be supplied by the erection
of a suitable Hall in this place.
NEW POST OFFICE. —A Post Office has
b • n established at Burn's Mills, a few miles
West of Sehellsburg. William Burnett a
merchant at that place has Ufeen appoiuted
Post Master.
LOOK OUT. —The Huntingdon papers an
nounce several daring burglaries as having
been committed in that place, wherein private
dwellings were entered and money taken. At
this season of the year trampers are plenty,
id onr citizens might do well to keep their
doors fastened.
WANTED a good, industrious and energetic
agent to canvass Bedford County wilh a
profitable agency. Constant employment
and good wages will be given. Further
particulars can be had on application at the
Inquirer office. If.
RESPONDENT.— "We might as well ouit:
we re gone up," was the' exclamation of a
prominent Democrat upon hearing the names
of the candidates nominated by the New \ ork
Convention. Verily, our friend but predicted
what will certainly come to pass. "Rally
round the flag, boys." Victory is already
within our grasp.
AI'PIIAISEMENT OF DAMAGES. —Attention
is called to the advertisement of the "Damage
Commissioners'' found in another column.
The headquarters of the Board during the
ays advertised for tbem to be in Bedford
will be at the Washington Hotel. Those
having claims to present should study the
rules adopted.
ENTHUSIASTIC. —The New York Belmont,
Bandana Budget Convention opened with
prayer, an unusual proceeding considering
the mixed assemblage present. Even no re
card seemed to be had for the feelings of
"Billy" McMullin the leader of the Philadel
phia rowdies who was a delegate from that
city. The eloquent divine in offering the
prayer was frequently interrupted by the en
thusiastic Democracy with cries of "bully,"
"good," Ac. The enthusiasm has not reached
this section yet.
THE Democratic Notional Committee have
been tendered quarters free of charge lor the
campaign by the Lelandsat the Metropolitan
Hotel, New York. A similar courtesy has
been extended to the Republican Committee
at ' nion Hotel, Saratoga.— Exchange.
1 he Bedford Springs are more central and
better adapted to the purposes of such Com
mittee than either of the above places. Might
not the proprietors of the Springs secure the
presence of the Republican National Com
mittee?
SOMERSET NOMINATIONS.—The Copperheads
of Somerset County met on the 20th uIL, and
made the following nomination for Congress,
Hon. A. H. Cofforth (subject to the decision
ol district conference); Additional I.aw
dge, W. J. Baer, Esq.; Assembly, Abram
Wilson; District Attorney, H. G. Baer, Esq.;
Commissioner, Geo. Johnson; P. H. Dircct
-11 r - C. Ream; Auditor, Patrick Dorsey,
Jnty Surveyor, 11. D. Altfather.
I' ALL ix.—The Presidential campaign is
uow fairly opened. The chances of victory
c with the I nion men. But it Lebooveg
•try one to work in order to make the over- I
• 'w of rebellion and Democracy complete, j
friends of freedom, gird on the armor of !
MOTU-M and march firmly forth in the]
strength of RJCHT and JUSTICE. We shall ;
show the enemy a political Appomattox in
ovember, and every patriot should be at the
surrender. The man who bronght peace to
the country and victory to her defenders leads
the column.
tJ ! T as to our own Ulysses,
1 hat Lee gave up the fight,
i .'ten, boyg, "for Grant for President,
And Goti defend the right."
THE SPRINGS.-— The Spring Season has
now fairly commenced with fine prospects of
being a successful one. The Hotels and
different boarding houses are rapidly filling
up with visitors. The advantages a4 this
place as a summer resort can only be appre
ciated by those who once visit the Springs.
.With ample accommodations and a careful
consideration for the wants of visitors,
it hardly ever occurs otherwise thau that the
person or family once coming here fails to
return during another season. A proper use
of the water almost invariably results iu good
to the invalid, whilst those in quest of quiet
pleasure and recreation are affoided the ben
efit of a delightful climate, beautiful scenery,
excellent grounds for huntingand fine streams
for fishing. Of the water and its qualities,
we need not speak. The medicinal virtues
of the Mineral, Iron and Sulphur waters can
not be questioned. That they possess powers
of no ordinary merit is a matter of fact. The
testimonials of many who have been signally
benefitted by their use is sufficient evidence
of their healing qualities.
Other things aside, the delightful so
lubrity of the climate, the excellency of the
waters and the beautiful and varied scenery,
tend to make the place plea; ant and attractive.
The proprietors of the different houses are
both careful and accommodating. The tables
are furnished with every delicacy of the sea
sou. Special care is taken to provide for
guests in this respect. The Springs Hotel
and the Arandale House both have large and
commodious ball rooms, and excellent music
is furnished for dancing purposes, the former
having a band from Philadelphia in their cm
ploy during the _ entire season. Excellent
facilities are provided for carriage
driving or horseback riding. The livery
men furnish the finest saddle horses,
and the hack-men possess excellent carriages
and good teams, and are careful and accom
modating as drivers. By this means pleasant
and healthful recreation and opportunity, to
visit objects of interest in the neighborhood
are afforded those who are fond of this kiud-of
amusement.
The means ot access are good and safe.
Two trains from Huntingdon arrive daily at
Mt. Dallas, where comfortable stages are pro
vided by Messrs. Barclay A Shoemaker, and
private carriages are always on hand to con
vey passengers to town or the Springs. All
ia all, Bedford Springs present advantages
that merit the consideration ot those who
wish to spend the summer months in quiet
recreation, or desire to recuperate their
shattered systems by the use of nature's own
medicines.
THE FOURTH. —The "Glorious Fourth" was
not particularly observed in this place. An
effort was made, however, to becomingly cel
ebrate our "nation's birth day." At four
o'clock in the morning'the boom of cannon,
in the square, announced the dawning of the
anniversary of our Independence Day, and
the quick following peal of the different
church bells reiterated the sound that pro
claimed "Liberty" to a down trodden people
ninety-two years ago. The Republican and
Democratic Bands united, paraded the streets
and discoursed together their patriotic pieces,
and this along with the merry chime of the
bells, and the boom of the cannon,
firing a salute of thirty-nine guns, tended to
arouse the citizens to a realization of the fact
that patriotism was not wanting to celebrate
the day in Bedford. At five o'clock quiet
was resumed, and those who had participated
in the exercises dispersed to prepare for the
enjoyments of the day, whatsoever they
might be. A pic- nic, composed of a portion
of the Methodist congregation, was held on
the banks of the Raystown Branch nearly op
posite Mr. Mickel's. The Lutheran Sabbath
school held a celebration in Defihsngh's
woods. A number of our young people put
in the day in an excursion to the Sulphur
Springs, in Milliken's Cove. Ali in all, every
body seemed to have pre-determined to en
joy the day, which they did, irrespective of
any general or united celebration. Quietness
and good order, and intense heat, prevailed
throughout the day, and the -Ith of July,
1868, passed off without anything unusual
marking either its coming or going.
WHERE ARE OCR BOROCGH OFFICERS. —The
evening and night ot the 3d, of July was
characterized by the most uproarious noise,
riot and tumult that have disgraced our town
for a long time. Where the officers were,
whose duty it is to preserve the peace and
good order of the community, no one can tell.
One thing is certain, they were not where
their doty required tbem. If we cannot have
better officers, it were better to have none.
If half the drunken fighting, swearing, yciling
rowdies who perambulated the town and
made night hideous with their drunken brawls,
had been arrested and put to jail as they
ought to La.c Wo. n.1,4 as they would have
been if we had had borough officers worthy
of the name, the good name if our usually
quiet, town might have been preserved and
our citizens permitted to sleep in peace and
quiet. We rejoice in the annual return of
"Independence day" but do not care to have
as its prelude such a pandemonium as char
acterized iu recent advent.
HAIL STORM.— One of the most terrific hail
storms witnessed in this section, for a num
ber of years, visited us on Tuesday of last
i week. Dark, lowering clouds and loud peals
of thunder announced its approach, and in
| a very short space of time it burst forth in
| all its fury. At three o'clock the storm be
i gan, and for one . ur it stormed terrifically,"
and rained and hailed almost incessantly. A
number of the shade trees along the streets
were uprooted, and others stripped of their
! limbs. Hail stones fell that would measure
| one inch and a-half in circumference, break
-1 ing out window glass in their descent. The
' lightning struck a house ia the neighborhood
of the Cbalebyate Spring, but did not serious
ly damage the building or injure any of the
. inmates. In the country considerable dam
l age was done the corn and wheat. The
. lengthened duration of the storm is a remark
able feature, hail storms scarcely ever being
known to continue more than a few minutes
whilst this one lasted almost an hour.
THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER. —Now that
Hancock, (whom the Democracy of this place
i boasted as their choice for the Presidency,)
i has been so completely overthrown by his
; pretended friends, and a " iolent opponent of
; the war and Hancock's bitterest enemy nom
i inated by the Democracy for the Presidency,
the soldier vote may be counted on as being
cast almost solid for GENERAL GRANT. We
have heard of several good soldiers who
have expressed such a determination, al
though they have never been known to Yote
anything bukthe Democratic ticket. Hurrah !
i for the hero of Appomattox!
j "J hey may weep for Stonewall Jackson and
! -of Lee they still may vaunt.
IV\ hif e we sbout tor Appomattox, and vote
for General Grant;
| They may sympathize with Davis and uphold
his beaten crew,
But no rebel Gray shall ever stay the Loyal
Boys in Blue."
A NECESSITY.— A friend suggests the ne
cessity of the establishment of a Post Office
at Peter Arnold's, in Cumberland Valley,
about seven miles South of town, The place
named is about half way between Bedford and
Centreville, and the establishment ol an office
there would accommodate considerable of a
population. It would be but little additional
trouble to the mail carriers, being uj*>n the
direct mail route to Cumberland. We hope
our friends in that community will move at
one* in the matter, and endeavor to secure
its establishment,
THE A orth British Review, for June, has
recently been issued by the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company and completes their
series of publications for the quarter just
closed. This Review is a great favorite with
many readers: the editor has of late years
shown good judgment in the selection of
subjects and it has ceased to be the organ of
mere local interests. Of the eight articles in
the present number, those of the history of
writing, on sleep and on Louis IX. of France
(Saint Louis) wiH be acceptable to all classes
ot readers. The first named article gives an
account of fac similes of national manuscripts
lately published by authority in England and
is full of antiquarian information of the most
readable kind, and the paper on Lcuis IX. is
one of marked biographical and historical in
terest. Other articles are Mistral's Mireio,
(a review, with many extracts, of a very
pleasing Provencal poem,) The Greek Idyllic
Poets, Memoirs of Baron Bunsen, Schools
and Universities, Churches and Creeds. He
must be hard to please who finds this nuhiber
dull reading. Terms, $4 a year.

"Onward, right onward,
Into the Valley ol Death,
Rode the Six Hundred."
But larger, by hundreds multiplied into
millions, than the doomed band who rode to
swift destruction in Tennyson's poem, is the
great calvacade of unhappy men who are
rushing to untimely graves, followed by the
gaunt spectre Dyspepsia. This is all wrong,
and should cease. Plantation Bitters, the
great Stomachic Pain Killer, cures Dyspep
sia, Heartburn, Headache, Vertigc, Dullness,
and all symptoms of kindred character, as if
by magic. For Languor, Lassitude, Great
Weakness and Mental Depression, they have
a inoat wonderful effect.
THAT "CROWD." —The crowd at the Seymour
Satisfaction (?) Meeting on Saturday night
consisted of a number of women, a few Re
publicans, a dozen or two of boys, brought
together by extra exertion, and the Commit
mittee on Applause. A Mr. Reynolds of
Lancaster county endeavored to create a de
monstrative feeling in favor of Belmont's
man, lint utterly failed. He was forced to
abandon bis text, candidate, platform and all
and only by abusively reverting to Tliaddeus
Stevens was he enabled to raise a feeble clap
ping of bands from the "Committee" and a
few yells from the boys trained for the occa
sion.
A Boston rhymester tells why people go to
Saratoga: his reasons apply with equal force
to Bedford:
"Some come to partake of the waters
(The sensible old-fashioned elves),
And some to dispose of their daughters,
And some to dispose of themselves;
And some to squander their treasure,
And some their funds to improve,
And some for mere love ol pleasure,
And some for the pleasure of love,
And some to escape from the old,
And some to see what is new,
But most —it is plain to be told —
Come here because other folks do !"
"The Democrats are not going to be Chased.
Gazette.
True. But then we are not sure but
that the word is mis spelled. Should it
not have been spelled chaste'! As it is,
though, there is no danger of their even get
ting far enough ahead in the present day to
be chased. GRANT is the only man who ever
rhased them to our recollection. The chaff
ended at Appomottox.

act —The funeral , Ac.
VVOODBERRY, July 10, 1808. — Messrs. Ed
itors Our usually quiet town has been
thrown into a tremendous excitement by the
most melancholy suicide that has ever
come under my observation. On the morn-
It,* of the Oth Inst., Miss Maggie Stover was
found in the barn, hanging by the neck and
quite dead. The facts of the case are : She
had gotten up and prepared breakfast for her
brother doing up the work as usual. This
done she went to the barn and committed
the deed. For some time she bad been labor
ing from "aberration of the mind'' caused,
undoubtedly, by ill health. ■ During a re
cent revival by the Rev. Mr. Collins, she bad
been an earnest seeker of religion, and since
that time has been very much abstracted.
Frequently, for long periods, she would sit
gazingat some supposed object, with her large
dark eyes torn open to their utmost as though
ready to jump from their sockets. The wri
ter hereof will not soon forget being an ob
ject of that gaze only a few evenings pre
vious to her demise. As to her character it
was blameless to a fault. No one stood
higher or was more respected in the comtnu
; nity. She was possessed of a kind and tractable
disposition, very industrious, and of great nut
ural ability—but large imagination. She left a
note of a few broken sentences —written in
pencil, but failed to give any reason for the
irrational act. I give the letter entire!
Wnodberry, July Bth. 1868.
Dear Mother. —You are in great trouble
this morning, bnt I have come to the conclu
sion not to trouble you any more. Dear
mother, pardon me for what I have done.
Dear mother, do as yon wish with my clothes,
for 1 will not need them any more. Father,
don't take this hard, for I am in a deep study.
Brother Crist, hope God may be with yon,
now and forever, and all my friends. Peo
ple are getting down on me. May God ever
be with you all now and forever more.
No more, but remain your true iriend,
MAGGIE, to her mother.
May God be with * * * *
the unknown friend. My love to Jennie W.,
May and Clara Lee. Good-Bye mother.
Don't forget, "MAGGIE."
| This is all; not a word as to the cause. Her
mother had not seen bcr that morning, being
t indisposed and unable to get up as early
as usual. As to the people getting down on
her, it was an illusion, proving her mind in a
shattered condition, as she had not an en
emy, no- ever hßd. Could the poor girl
have witnessed the grief of the large con
course of our best people assembled to pay
the last tribute of respect to her memory—
to have witnessed the agonizing tears of many
friends over her grave, she could then have
known how dear she was to them. No one
ever died more respected than Maggie Sto
ver, respected by all who knew her. A gloom
prevades every heart; may God comfort
her almost distracted father, mother and
brother.
Rev. Christian King officiated at her fu
neral and preached from part of the 12th
verse, Ist chapter, of the Lamentations of Jer
emiah —"Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass
by ? Behold and see if there is any sorrow
like unto my sorrow." The entire commu
nity sympathize with the bereaved friends,

Lassitude.
A feeling of lassitude is generally experienced
throughout the summer solstice. oakly con
stituted persons or those of sedentary habits in
variably complain of this annoyance. The scorch
ing heat of inid-summer relaxes the system and
reduces the vital energies. If the patient is of a
nervous temperament this debility unfits him lor
even the ordinary routine of every-day life.
When this state of exhaustion eoincs on HOB
- STOMACH BITTERS will prove a
safe and never-failing means of strengtheniug an 1
restoring the physical organization. This health- j
giving tonic purifies and infuses renewed vitality ,
into the blood, tones the stomach and digestive i
organs, and acts like a charm on the nervous sys
tem. It effectually removes all tendency to lan
guor or depression of spirits. r lo the weaker sex
it is invaluable, M it soothes and braces up,
while its powerful effects arc of the roost benefi
cial character. The infirmities of age are allevi
ated by its use. It revives the strength, increases
the appetite and gives vigor and elasticity to the
constitution.
When mothers arc nursing HOSTETTERS
STOMACH BITTERS should especially 1* taken
in regular doses, as in this country, most alwajs, ;
the nourishment is inadequate to the wants of <
the child. In such cases this inestimable tonic is :
wonderfully efficacious. Its strengthening vir
tues are at once apparent. It is free from all
properties calculated to impair the system, and
its operations are at once inild and soothing.
Pensions for the War ol 1812.
The Governor having signed the Bill granting
Pensions to the soldiers of the War of 181'- or
their widows, we arc prepared to make applica
tion in the proper form.
This law provides for those who are not worth
over SSOO in real or personal Estate, and those
who served in Pennsylvania regiments, or their
widows.
As those applications must be made before a
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, it will be
necessary for those desiring to make application
to inform us before hand when they intend to
bring in their witnesses so that wc can suggest a
time when there will be a Judge on band.
