TIIEMENDUOUS ENTHUSIASM! The J'ean Peals of lie pub! lean Thun der strike terror into the ranks of the Cojipe/ heads. Hon. A. K. McClure, the silver-tongued Orator of (-'ranktin county, mingles his clarion notes in uni*ou with the eloquent and gitteil cham pion ol the West, Hon. Tom Marshall of Al legheny county. Pursuant tc previous notice, a largo and enthusiastic Grant and Colfax meeting under the auspices of the Borough Campaign Club, was held in the Court House on Saturday last. Long before the hour large numbers of peo ple from the country came Hocking to town, and by the time that the delegation from Bloody Run had arrived, the town was full of strangers. The monotony of our usually qui et town was soon broken by the sweet tones of the Republican Band, whose true boys faithfully cluster round the Grant standard. The Court House was filled to overflowing, many being compelled to leave, unable to press within its walls. A number of fair ladies graced the scene, and everybody seem ed to enjoy the festive, gala day. The meet ing was called to order by M. A. Points, Esq., Chairman of the Grant aud Coltax Executive Committee of Bedford Borough, who moved the appointment of Hon. WILLIAM M. HALL, as Chairman. On taking the chair Mr. Hall entertained the meeting with a neat, brief, but effective speech. At the conclu sion of Mr. Hull's remarks, I). S. Elliott moved the further appointment of the follow ing officers: I'ice Presidents —William Kiser, Audrew Ginger, James Rea, Daniel Sparks, Jacob Brenneman, Esq., Capt. William Gracy, Ja cob Evans, Esq., Capt. Josiah llissong, Ad am H. Libert, Jacob B. Williams and J. M. Barndullar. Secretaries —J. T. Keagy, Esq., Dr. James Henry and J. C. Long, Esq. Hon. Thomas M. Marshall, of Allegheny county, was introduced amid great applause. The speaker was in his happiest mood. His terrible excoriations of the Copperhead De mocracy, his scathing, blistering denuncia tions of treason, his trenchant, withering sar casm, his brilliant sallies of wit directed against poor Chase and the modern prodigal sons, gory with the blood of Union soldiers, whom the Blairs would, with open arms, em brace, and his lofty (lights of native eloquence, were received with wild enthusiasm. Never has it been our pleasure to listen to such re sistless wit. Beneath his steady, ponderous blows, the miserable fabric of treason totter ed and fell. He will speak again for the Re publicans before leaving the Springs. After the enthusiasm at the close of Mr. Marshall's speech had somewhat subsided, the chair in troduced the well known orator, Hon. A. K. McClure, whose name is a household wotd in Southern Pennsylvania. Col. McClure spoke for upwards of an hour, during which time he "held the audience spell bound. The Colouel is noted for bis peculiar style of ora tory,—clear, bold, elevated, and ornate. His logic was keen and "lcisive. his manner faultless, and his conclusions irresistible. Truly this was a day long to be remembered by those whose pleasure it was to listen to these distinguished s[ eakers. THE BEDFORD BOROUGH SEYMOUR AND BLAIR CLUB. — ANOTHER GRAND FIZZLE. —On last Saturday evening one week ago it was .announced from the stand that a Seymour and Biair Club would be formed on the next succeeding Saturday evening, or at least, a meeting would be held for that purpose, and all good Democrats were enjoined to be pres ent. Due notice was given in the public priut, and another "grand rally"' was exten sively advertised. Saturday night came and with it the appointed hour, but no signs of the meeting. Half past eight, and yet no crowd. We looked for the usual excitement preced ing apolitical gathering, but in vain. No band, no crowded streets, no hurrying to and fro of excited leaders, no screams from the boys, not even a yell from the Committee on Applause, to show that there was to be a Seymour and Blair Club tormed. It appear ed as though the enthusiasm attendant upon the large GRANT and COLFAX meeting held in the afternoon had left the Democrats com pletely becalmed, dispirited and almost disorganized. Finally, however, at a very late hour, the sound of fife and drum, mingled with the ringing of the Court House bell, led us to think that all had come around right, and the meeting would be held. Accordingly, we went to the Springs, not thinking it worth while to be on hand or have a reporter, as the meeting would manifest itselt. Upon our return we made inquiry as to its suecess but were not able to discover any one who could tell us how the alfair pas sed o!T. There seems to have either been no one there or else the meeting was a secret one. We are rather inclined to think however that there was no one there, and that the meeting outfizzled all previous lizzies. Verily, the scepter has departed from the Democracy, and even in Bedford they are found falling behind in spirit and enthusiasm. Union men, take courage! An unexampled victory awaits us it we but work. Rally with a will! Anything that may come to our knowledge of the Bedford Borough Seymour and Blair Club, will be hereafter laid before our readers as a matter of general information. URNSR,TFU;II FEMALE COLLEGE.— We once more call the attention of our readers to the claims of this really sterling institution. Its present catalogue shows an attendance during the past year of three hundred and forty seven young ladies, gathered from twelve States. Though but thirteen years have elapsed since it was first opened for the reception of pubils, it has already gained a national reputation, and Pittsburgh justly boasts of an institution which has no peer in the State and but few equals in the land. Its admirable location, on one of two most beautiful and quiet streets of Pitsburgh and yet within ten raiuutes walk of nearly every important point; its superb building-:; itsunusually large, able and accom plished Faculty of twenty two teachers; its unsurpassed facilities in all the solid and ornamental branches; its thorough training, its wholesome discipline, and withal, moderate prices, commend it to all who have daughters to educate. This latter item is worthy of special notice. The charges are scarcely one half those of many schools' having fewer teachers and less facilities. It is not an insti tution established tor privategain, but to meet a public want, and the single aim of all con cerned has been to put a finished education, of the highest grade, within the reach of all worthy young ladies. The Full term com mences September '2. Send to Rev. I. C. Perishing, for a catalogue. Let its halls be crowded. ENCOURAGING.—Seymonr is said to be pretty sure of carrying the Stales ofKentucky, Dela ware, the townships Southampton and Juniata (in this county,) Five Points in New York, and Dry Tortugas, It is conceded by "his friends'' that he will run behind bis ticket, as usual, in the Five Points. This is accounted for by Morrisey offering to bet high on GRANT. "Hope is a delusive phantom, Ac." MAGNOLIA WATER.—A delightful toilet ar idle—superior to Cologne and at half the price, TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IS AI.TOONA.— A Young Lady shot by her Lover.—Suicide of the Jof nq Man. —A terrible tragedy occurred in Altoona, ou week before last, which created intense extitement throughout the entire community. Thomas Mertlin, a rather good looking young man, about 25 years old, shot and attempted to kill Miss Ellen Seibert, and afterwards committed suicide by blowing his brains out. Mertlin had been employed for the past two years in the machine shop of the Pa. li. R. Co. at this place, and during that time became acquainted and engaged to be married to Miss Seibert. About the first of June last he went home to his mother, who resides in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland coun ty, and soon after received a letter from the young lady, in which she broke off the en gagement existing between them, alleging the insanity of his father as her reason for doing so. Mertlin immediately returned to Altoona, and endeavored to induce M iss Sei bert to change her resolution, but she steadi ly refused to do so, and as a consequence ho began to drink to excess. For the past few weeks he has been making what, at the time, were unintelligible threats, and as he was generally regarded as a light headed young man, no notice was taken of them. On Sat urday morning he told a friend that he would furnish him an item for the Police Mews be fore dinner time, and the bloody sequel proved how terribly in earnest he was. Soon alter he made two unsuccessful efforts to see Miss Seibert, who resides with her mother in the house on the south-west corner of Annie and Harriet streets. A third attempt, how ever, proved more successful, as he met her on the steps and insisted on having a private interview with her. She finally granted the interview, alter having asked her mother to go into a room adjoining the one into which she and Mertlin went. The latter now made a final effort to induce the girl to marry him. and upon her refusal asked her to return some trinkets which he had presented her. She stepped to the other room to procure them, and as she returned he pointed a pistol at her heart, telling ber that if they could Hot live together they would die together. She turned to run, when he fired, the ball striking her on the top of the left Bhoulder and pas sing under the collar bone. She ran into the room and her mother shut and held the door. Mertlin made a feeble effort to push it open, and soou after fired a second shot and fell heavily on the floor. Drs. Findley and John ston, who happened to be in the neighbor hood, now entered the house and found Mert lin lying on the floor, with abuHet bole in the side of his head, and entirely lifeless. Mertlin's father published the Lewistown Gazette some 25 or 30 years ago, but for the last 20 years has been an inmate of the in sane asylum. It is supposed that young Mertlin inherited the trait of insanily, and that he had become so frenzied at the refusal of Miss Seibert to marry him as to render him entirely reckless in regard to what he done. He had evidently determined for some time to kill the girl rather than give ber up, and had been carrying the weapon for several days for that purpose. Miss Seibert's injuries, though quite se vere, are not regarded as dangerous. She is said to be a very handsome, fascinating young lady, and takes the whole affair very coolly, only regretting that she has been so unfortunate as to get wounded. Young Mertlin was excessively fond of reading ''yellow covered literature'' and ro mances of the Police Gazette style, and doubtless these had much to do with forming in his mind the terrible tragedy which had its denouement iu self murder on Saturday.— Correspondence MoUidaysburq Standard. To MASTER MOSQUITOES. —The Lyuehburg (Va.) Xews says: "People who reside in j the upper sections of the city complain ol I musquitoes; and some persons now avail themselves of bed nets to keep them at a re spectful distance; but there is a less costly remedy. By saturating a small piece of cot ton cloth with the commouest whisky or al cohol, and hanging it above the bed, our readers can rest in peace, for musquitoes can not stand the fumes ot intoxicating liquors." That may, do in "Old Virginny" but some parties in this neighborhood have another way. They saturate themselves before going to bed. Whether it keeps the musquitoes off or not we have never learned. If it is the commonness of the whiskey that makes it effectual, we are assured that the very com monest kind is generally used in these parts. VALUABLE. —Among the many good sugges tions we notice as offered for the relief of sun stroke, we select the following from the Philadelphia Ledger , contributed by a pibysi cian of that city. We hope if there is any necessity for it or citizens will give it a trial. "The writer says: "Let the person thus affected be removed to a cool and private place, his clothing taken off, and the body rubbed from hi ad to foot with large pieces of ice, at the same time that pieces of ice are kept in the arm pits. This simple treatment if steadily persevered in, will save cases which seem almost desperate; and there is reason to believe, under any other treatment, would prove fatal." Os A Tout.—A party of tourists, consist ing of John D. Stockton, Esq., Editor of the Philadelphia Morning Post, Cyr.us Elder, Esq., of Johnstown, G. W. Allen, of the Morning Post, and G. F. Deicamp, of Phila delphia, camped near the Springs on last Saturday. These gentlemen have been on a tour through the mountains hunting and fish ing, camping out wherever they stop. Their route lay from Johnstown via Somerset and White Horse to the Springs. They seemed to have enjoyed the trip, and spoke in very Haltering tortus of the beautiful scenery arouud Bedford and the Springs. THE COXNE!.I.BVILI.E RAII.ROAD. —The C'on nellsville railroad is now placed on a sure basis. The two million loan for its comple tion is all taken, and the line from Connells vilie to Cumberland is in active preparation for the renewal of the work, and this has been, in fact, resumed at several points. This enterprise is, at last, "out of the woods," and its entire completion iti twenty mouuths is regarded as absolutely certain. — Pittsburg Gazette. BY his fail from a stairway iu Montreal, the other day, Jefferson Davis was much in jured, three of his ribs being broken. He was doing well, however, at last accounts. — Exchange. We are glud to hear that Jeff is doing well for once. It is the first well-doing we have heard of him. We hope he will remain in Canada and continue to do well as he never did anything but evil while here. ORGANIZE! —Up boys, and at them ! Now is the time to work, friends!

But victory re quires work, and note is the time to begin. To work! TO WORK ! ! HARVEST. —The wheat crop ol this im mediate neighborhood has been nearly all safely secured in good condition. The yield is thought to be a fair average. The grass crop is excellent and the farmers have been making hay during the past hot weather. The oata crop is very promising.

The apples from last year were the Tewks bury Blush aud were remarkably weil pre served, being solid, smooth and bright look ing as if plucked but a few days ago. Those of the present year's growth were Prince's Harvest, fully ripe, white, medium sized and finely llavored and altogether very pleasant eating. We give this brief notice for the benefit of such as inay wish to possess either long keeping or early ripening varieties of apples, both of which are highly desirable. Trees of either variety, we believe can be ob tained of our friends, Barnhart, Cam & McMullin of the Bedford Nurseries. REGISTERED LETTERS. —A new system of registering letters has been in operation since the first of June. Under the new system regis tered letters are a very safe means of sending small sums of money where post-office money orders caunot easily be obtained. Tbe registry fee, as well as postage, must be paid in stamps at the office where the letter is mailed, or it will be liable to be sent to the dead letter office. Buy and affix the stamps, both for postage and registry, put in the money and seal the letter in the presence of the postmaster, and take his receipt for it W E call the attention of our readers and the travelling public generally to the card of j Col. Jos. Morrison of the Exchange Hotel j Huntingdon Pa. He has just refitted the Ex- ■ change in the latesl and best style and is pre pared to entertain in the best manner all who may favor him with a Call. The Col. is a clever fellow and knows exactly how to run a hotel. Speaking from our own experience i we can assure all who stop with him that they will come away thoroughly convinced that the Col. understands his business and ; is a model hotel-keeper. SMALL BITS IN ESS. —The dispatch relative to the great Grant meeting held here on Saturday, which appeared in the Harrisburg Patriot on Monday, was, without a doubt, penned with tbe full intention of giving pub- ; licity to an infamous falsehood. The chagrin, occasioned by the miserable failure in the eveningno doubt led some one of tlie whip ped curs who infest this region to perpetrate this thing. Shame! Shame!! HEAVY RAINS.—On Friday morning last wo were favored with a fine rain of several hours duration. Several miles north of the town the rain was very heavy and did considerable damage to property. Tbe storm seems to have passed in a South Easterly direction reaching Baltimore Md. some five or six hours after passing us, where it caused con siderable loss of life and destroyed several millions of dollars worth of property. MURDER IS HOLLIDAYSBURG. —On Saturday last William Lane, a plasterer, of Hollidays burg was killed by a roan named Thomas 11. l agan, in a fight at the United States hotel. Whisky was the cause of the affray. Fagan was arrested and lodged in jail. Lane was an elderly man, and poor. His side was crushed in by a blow from Fagan, and he died instantly. THIEYES ABOUT. —Mr. George Smouse, of Snake Spring township, had about two hun dred pounds of meat in the shape of hams stolen from his smoke bouse on last Saturday night. This comprised the entire stock of meat possessed by Mr. Smouse, the theives making a clean sweep. No clue to the rob bers has been discovered. GOOD. —Bloody Run sent a delegation of in the neighborhood of forty voters to the meet ing on Saturday evening last. The friends of Grant and Coal fax in that live town are fully alive to the importance of the campaign. "Keep the ball a rolling!"

A feeling of lassitude is generally experienced throughout the summer solstice. Weakly con-' stituted persons or those of sedentary habits in variably complain of this annoyance.

'•TUB WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, its C auses, Character, Conduct and Itesults," hy Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, is the title of a valuable work just issued by The National Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Histories of the late civil war have sprung up like mushrooms, and they can now be numbered almost by hundreds, but all who are desirous of ariiving at a correct under standing of the causes, and a clear history of the events of the late lamentable war, have felt the want of a reliable history of tbe same fiom a Southern standpoint, by some repre sentative man of tbe South, This want is about to be supplied by Alexander H. Ste phens. Mr. Stephens was a most earnest protestant against rebellion, and only suc cumbed at the last moment, when his State, in spite of his warning, committed the great error. It presents a careful political analysis of the past, separating Real from Apparent causes of the late nnhappy conflict, and gives those interior lights and shadows of the Great War, only known to those high officers, who watched the flood tide of Revolution from its fountain-springs, and which were so accessi ble to Mr. Stephens from his position as sec ond officer of the Confederacy. The work is sold only by subscription, and the publishers want au agent IU every County. M E have just received from the publishers a fine steel engraved portrait of General Grant The engraving is made from Marshall's pain ting of General Grant executed at the Head quarters of the General, at Washington, where he had every facility extended to him for thoroughly studying his object. Thut it is a satisfactory representation of General Grant, we have the tulles'- assurance. The General's family and his intimate friends, together with many of the most distinguished artists in the country, in their letters of commendation to the artist and his publishers, express them selves on this point in terras not usually em ployed 011 such occasions. Considering the distinguished subject and the fact that he is now the people's candidate for the highest office in their gift we have no doubt the en graving will have an extensive sale. It is published by Ticknor k Fields Boston. It is sold only by subscription and sgents are wan ted in every town. For terms and particulars address A. H.
