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.—

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! The issue is
joined; the great battle is drawing near.
Close up the ranks and get ready for the con
flict. GRANT heads the column, and will un
failingly lead us to victory. 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. Corn looks
well arid is vigorously growing.
WANTED a good, industrious and energetic
agent to canvass Bedford County with a
profitable agency. Constant employment
and good wages will be given. Further
particulars can be had on application at the
Inquirer office. tf.

RARITIES.—On the 23d inst. through the
favor of friends, we had the rare pleasure ol
partaking, at the same time, of ripe apples of
both the last aud present year's growth.
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.

Lassitude.
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. The scorch
ing heat of mid-summer relaxes the system and
reduces the vital energies. If the patient is of a
nervous temperament this debility unfits him for
even the ordinary routine of etej-y-dsy life.
When this state of exhaustion comes on 11 OS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS will prove a
safe and novcr-failing means of strengthening and
restoring the physical organisation. This health
giving tonic purifies and infuses renewed vitality
into the blood, tones the stomach and digestive
organs, and acts like a charm on the nervous sys
tem. It effectually removes all tendency to lan
guor or depression of spirits. To the weaker sex
it is invaluable, as it soothes and braces up,
while its powerful effects are of the most 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 are nursing HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS should especially be taken
in regular doses, as in this country, most always,
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 ail
properties calculated to impair the system, and
its operations arc at once mild and soothing.

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. Hubbard No. 400 Chestnut
