IHE SHOW —Our town was filled with |>eo pie, on Thursday, who came to see the circus, toiwithstandingthe inclemency of the weather. • uite a number of oar friends availed tbem- the inducements offered at the I* X RSE Store, and we feei assured that will best appreciate the investments they made in books, stationery, albnms Ac, & | our establishment-—Call again friends, we - ways Lave a fell stock on hand, and are toasunUy receiving tuppliet from the cities. CRASH CHARGE OF THS OIJ> FOGIES.— Alarmed at the fact that some half dozen buildings are in progress of erection in our quiet old town, the old fogies seem to be ma king a charge alor.g the whole line in the hope that they may be able to prevent any more such audacious attempts at rousing old Bedford from ht-r Rip \an Winkle slumbers. We were foolish enough in our simplicity to suppose that no objections would be made to our erection of an unpretending building in which the ]nq>rirtr might have a local habitation as well as a name. We are now only awaking to the temerity ofourun dertaking. Grave objections have been made to the bringing of sand, brick and mortar into the town—they make a great deal of dirt and besides the piles of brick and stone are so unsightly. Serious fears were entertain ed by the city fathers, that, because of our audacity, tbe earlier and latter rains might ! be withheld from the good citizens of Bedford, that the springs might be dried up and even j the waters of the Juuiata be endangered, if iwe persisted in the use of water. There is a vague tradition that certain oppressed par ties of old succeeded iu making brick with out straw. We were anxioutdy inquiring a few days ago whether mortar could be made without water. The smallest item of infor mation on this point would have been most thankfully- received, when the clerk of the weather came to ojjr rescue with a plentiful | supply of rain. The city Fathers might have interdicted even this if they bad been consul led, but that formality seems to have been omitted and the rain came unheralded. Cer tain busy bodies have even hinted that we ought not to be permitted to encumber the square, the side of the street or atiy other place within the borough limits, with buil ding material. Altogether we are beginning to fully appreciate all the pleasure and con venience attending the erection of u building in Bedford. We once thought it a my'h that there was a project on foot to fence in and white-wash the town, we now begin to believe there was a bone fide intention on the par: of some parties to have the thing done. I We suppose the difficulties laid in the way of making improvements are intended to prevent the rapid growth of the town,; threatened by the spirit of improvement beginning to show itself) lest the fencing in and whitewashing business be made too expensive. _ FOSSII. IKOX ORE IH HCSTISUDOX COCXTY. —A rich and apparently inexhaustible deposit fossil iron ore was recently discovered on the Barree Forge and Furnace property, belong ing to Messers. Green, in Porter township. Huntingdon county. A correspondent of the j Huntingdon Journal, who has been visiting the locality, thus refers to specimens of this j ore, of which the editor of the Journal says there is a sufficient qnantity to keep a hundred | furnaces in blast for years: "I have just ex amined. with much surprise and no little in terest, what seems to me to be a ruineraiogical wonder, iu the shape of a large block of fossil iron ore. one of the most magnificent speci mens 1 have ever seen. It was taken from a block ve in on the Eastern side of 'Short Mountain, 1 a portion of Tussey's Mountains lying between the two rivers—Big and little : Juniata. "The vein from which it was taken is about one and a half miles from the Barree Iron Works, on the property of Messrs. Green. After being removed, it was brought to the furnace, and found to weigh 3,150 pounds: It is a aolid mass of rich, pure ore, present ing a surface outside as smooth and regular as if dressed by a marble cutter, and measures sixty-two inthes in length by thirty two inches in breadth. There are other blocks at the i mine from which this was taken, but noue so large have as yet been discovered. It is the | intention of the Messrs. Green to have it analyzed by a competent chemist, and there is little doubt of its yielding 50 to GO per cent of pure iron, if not more. The discovery of this ore, in its present locality, fully corrobo rates the opinion giveu a few months since ' by Professor Morley, mining engineer of the | Cambria Iron Works, together with that of Mr. Trimbath. an experienced miner. It is well worth a visit from mineralogists, geolog ists, and scientific men. as well as all others : interested in tbe manufacture ot iron.'" United States Railroad and Mining Register". I AGRICULTURAL FAIR.— The sixth Annua! Exhibition of the Adams County Agricultur al Society will be held at Gettysburg on the 22d, 23d, and 24th, days of the present month. A premium of one hundred dollars is offered for the best trotting horse. Tbe officers of the society wiil accept our thanks for a complimentary ticket, as well as our beat wishes lor the success of their fair, in every thing but the horse racing. We believe in every proper inducement beld forth.for the improvement of stock, but bave grave doubts as to either the utility or expediency of offering high prizes for last hor>es. The horse racing and belting mania is increasing quite fast enough all over tbe country. We believe that the agricultural interests of any community would be much better promoted if the highest prizes were awarded for the best or most profitable crops of grain, and well written accounts of tbe methods by which they were produced instead of for fast horses. But we also well know the difficulty of mak ing these fairs pay expenses, and the tempta tion that exists to add something to attract a crowd and swell the receipts. The last fair of the Bedford County Agricultural f-ociety left ita exchequer in a sadly depleted condi tion, as the printers have learned in tbe dear school of experience. THE LADY'S FRIEND, POR OCTOBER —A fine Steel Plate, "The River Spirit," a brilliant Fashion-Plate, and a spirited wuod cut of a group of young people amusing themselves with Hallow e'en rites, are tbe leading embel lishments of tbe October number of this beautiful monthly. Its contents are Fleeing From Fate," "Master Casimir." "Aunt Paget's Pitcher," a..d "The De!>arry For tune," and Poems by Florence Percy and Beatrice Colonna. Its tasteful patterns of the Fashions, and Work-Table cuts and directions are especially suited for ladies of refinement and culture. The new music in this number is a ballad —"Fancy Brings thie o'er the Lea." It is published by Deacon A Peterson, 319 Walnut street Philadelphia, $2.50 a year. HEAVY MORTGAGE.—A mortgage in fetor I of the city of Baltimore against the Pittsburgh j and Connellsville Railroad for §4,000,000 I was entered in the Recorder's office of this I county on Monday the 11th in si. 'l'his instrn | ■ ment required the neat little sum of four ' j thonsand dollars worth of stamps. This is j I the heaviest mortgage even entered in this j J county and is the security for the four millions i : of dollars subscribed by the city of Baltimore j j toward the construction of the Pittsburgh J and Connellsville Rail-road. There is now I every indication that this road is to be pushed j jto an early completion. The contracts for a j | large portion of the grading were to have | been let on the loth iustand we presume they ; were though we have no information to that effect yet. CHANGE OP SCHEDULE.— The train* em the j Huntingdon and Broad-top Rail rood will hereafter leave Mount Dallas at one o'clock j P. M. and arrive at Huntingdon in time to connect with the mail train Hast. CHANGE OF MAIL TIME.— The Post Master j informs us that the Eastern mails byway of Mt. Dallas and the Huntingdon ami Broad top B, R. will hereafter close at half pagt ten o'clock A. M. to conform to the change af lime on the above mentioned r->inl, A HORSE iv A WELL.— On Sunday Morning a blind horse belonging to David Gardener was found in the bottom of a twenty five foot well quietly grazing on the tender grass of those lower regions. It appears that the horse got loose from the stable and in his nocturnal wanderings trod too close to the uncovered well which resulted in his change of climate! By the use of a derrick, rope A tackle and a bag of straw, the animal was : safely landed on top of ground, none the worse for his adventurous trip,—the well was dry. SXAKE KILI.ISG EXTRAORBIXARY. —Mr. Juo. j GepJtart of Snake Spring township, a few days ago while ploughing, turned up a nest of ninety one snakes. They were of the viper species and averaged a foot in length. After a brisk chase they were all captured and killed This is the most extensive bona fide snake killing exploit we have heard of for a long time. From such a wholesale slaughtering ; of snakes we are almost constrained to beleive ! Mr. Gepbart a distant relative of St. Patrick. ! Couldn't he give his attention, for a short time to that other well known species of ! snakes so common id Bedford county. HAS Nature an antidote for acquired dis. eases? The Plantation Bitters, prepared by | Dr. Drake, of New York, have no doubt benefited and cured more persons of Dys j pepsia, Nervousness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Sinking Weakness, General Debili | ty, and Mental Despondency, than any other ; article in existence. They are composed of : the purest roots and herbs, carefully prepared, j to be taken as a tonic and gentle stimulant i They are adapted to any age or condition of life, and are extensively popular with mothers and persons of sedentary habits. 2t FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION ASD Loss or LIFE.— On Friday last the 11th, inst., while the En gine Tu.-earora, belonging to tbe Huntingdon and Broad Top Railrcad after being repaired, was makings trial trip.it biew up while stand ing on tbe track near tbe village of Fairplay, killing Mr. James L. Prince and three others named respectively, Murphey, Clark and •lames. The full particulars of this sad ea family have not yet reached us. THE NEW ALMS HOUSE. —The contract for the building of tbe New Almshouse was let on the 15th, inst., to Mr. J. J. Shoemaker of this place for the sum of thirty-one thousand i five hundred dollars. • MAGNOLIA WATER. —A delightful toilet article—superior to Cologne, and at half the price. 2t j GENERAL SEWS ITEMS. Ix Briti-h America, the region known as the Red River Settlement, is said to be threat ened with famine. We notice that prominent ; clergymen of several denominations in that ; country have united in saying that not one ' bushel of grain will be harvested there this : year: that the potato crop is also a failure; that the buffalo hunters have returned not only without their annual supply of meat and skins but in an almost starving condition, and that not even seed enough remains in the settle ment for next year's crop. An appeal is ! made to the generosity of the Canadians and ! the people of the Uuited States. IT is estimated that there are three hundred J and sixty-six religious newspapers and other ! periodicals published in the United States. Of these sixty are set down as Baptist, fifty four Methodist, thirty Presbyterian, twenty • nine Luthernan, twenty-six Episcopal, twenty four Catholic, sixteen Congregational, eleven L'niversaiist, and the remainder scattered among the smaller societies. A NEW TELEGRAPHIC APPARATUS has been inveuted ia France, and is said to be simpler j and more easily worked than any system now iu use. Figures are u-ed instead of letters or words. It is questionable whether any improvements can be made on tbe American system of telegraphing, which has been adopt ed almost everywhere. NEW ORLEANS finances are thus referred to by the Times newspapers of that city: "The utter iuability of the mnnicipa! government to 1 pay its employes is now patent to every one. Tbe fallacy of negotiations with brokers is exploded. No one will loan its finarycial aireul: money even at exorbitant interest. Unless the Legislature steps in and affords relief so earnestly petitioned for by the police, the gravest consequences are liketv to ensue." \ ELOCIPEDE RACES. —The velocipede mania in France shows DO sign of relapse.—Races with these machines are now a favoi ite amuse ment with the French people. At a recent trial of speed at Bngbien. near Paris, a veloci pede with two wheels rau a mile in four min utes and twenty-five seconds, which is at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, while one with three wheels was n than two minutes long er in accomplishing the same distance. THE PEXXSYI.VAXIA RAILROAD. —The Col umbia Spy says that the largest number of freight cars that were ever dispatched over the Pennsylvania Railroad at Columbia were dispatched froic that station on Friday, the •51st ult. On that day thirty-seven trains, takil g seven hundred and eighty cars, were dispatched east and fourteen trains west, tak ; ing six hundred and sixty-nine cars. Total, 1. MO freight cars in one day. Passenger cars are not counted in this estimate. XA-HVJU.E PEon.E express considerable alarm at the growing mortality in the midst ! of them and the alarming increase of iicen i uou.-ness. The Nashville Banner says that ■ ten gentlemen connected with prominent business houses are already under the watch of the police, and are known to Ire spending i at least tour times the amount of their sal laries on gambling houses and pretty waiter girls. Some astounding revelations are ex pected before long. j Pour toss OE MEXICO, on account of the | un.-ettled condition of affairs, are threatened 1 with famine. It is represented that in the State of Guerraro corn is two dollars c bushel, and it must be remembered that this is in Igold. Meanwhile there is a revolutionary spirit everywhere. It is manifest that Mexico needs more railway facilities, which would render famine impossible; and some kind of interference on the part of litis country so far as to render her Govern stent stable. At present the Mexicans are a blot on American 1 civilization. Is Ctscisx'ATt, the young men are propos - • ing to get up a civic military battallion, and it is received with a good deal of favor. After the war was over, there was a decided disin clination to indulge in the pomp and circum stance of war. It is agreeable to note the renewed interest in volunteer military organi zations. We hope in this country there may be no occasion to have war any more, but a , fine regiment of old soldiers in new uniforms would be a pleasant holiday spectacle. THE gold mining interests of Nova Scotia i have acquired sufficient importance to sustain i a monthly jouraal, called the Mining Gazette which is published at Halifax. From its present reports it appears that, a considerable number of mines are being steadily worked, and that prospectors are constantly engaged in searching for deposits of toe precious metals. A TE.V N ES-EE correspondent states that the preliminary survey of the Tennessee river, and thereceut appropriation of eight thou-aral dot tat a to improve that stream, has given great hopes to the young Chattauoogians. They are coahdsut that the impedimeuta at Muscle Shoals will be removed and thus the Tennessee river made navigable for gopd sized bwt* clear up tsj Chattanooga. FROM SOUTH AMEBIC A. Terrible Earthquake on the Coast of Tent and JEquador.—Destruction of Whole Cities and over 30,000 Lives. — Two United States Ships and $300,000,000 of other Property Destroyed. NEW YORK. Sept. 12. —The steamship Guiding Star, from Aspinwall, brings the j following intelligence : On the 13th ult. a terrible earthquake visited the cities along the eoast of Peru and Equador, whereby thirty-two thou : sand live* were lost, 'and propeity vaiut'J at $300,000,000 was destroyed. A rumbling ; sound preceded the earthquake, and the sea was terribly agitated, aud flooded the . land for a great distance. Anqmpn, a city of 35,000 inhabitants, has i a--ed awav, scaiwly a vestige of if j In-iug left. Only 400 lives were lost there. Ariel, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, was also destroyed, not a house being left staud ! ing: in this town 500 persons perished. A i tidal wave, forty feet high, r-tlletl with | terrific force on shore, tarrying ships further jon land than was ever before known. The : United States store-hip Fredooia capsized and all oil hoard were lost; she had on : board naval stores valued at $1,800,000 ; she ra- rolled over and smashed to atoms. The United States steamer Wateree was carii 1 half a mile inland, left high and dry, but only one sailor was drowned. Owing to her great distance lrom the sea, she can never be got afloat again. The Peruvian corvette America was also carried ashore, and thirty-three of her crew were drowned. The American merchant man llusa Rivers, the English ship Chancel lor, and the French bark Edwards were also lost. The tov r.s of Iquique, Moquega, Lo • cuoibia and Pisaqua were all utterly do i stroved. Over 6UO people perished at i Iquique. The Americans lost heavily, and are nearly totally ruined. The towns of Ibarra, San Pablo, Atun ! taqui and Imutad are in ruins. Where the ! town of Coaticachi formerly stood is now a ■ lake. The people of these towns were j almost entirely destroyed. The towns ofi ; Pane-bo, Puellaro and eachiquanjo were also j ! destroyed. The dead bodies are so numer- j : nns that the survivors have been forced to i fly from the stench of the putrefying bodies IMPORTANT FROM ARKANSAS. A Reigu ot Terror Prevailing. WASHINGTON, Septeud r 12.— A Liter from Arkansas, written by a member of ! Congress from that State, say.-; An alarm ing state of affairs exists here in Arkansas that necessitates the assembling of Congress on the day designated. A reign of terror : exists in many parts of the State, i County officers are being driven from their homes. Courts, while dispensing jus tice. are dispersed by armed men, judges are forced to take refuge in the woods to -ave their lives, and Senators and other in fluential men in various parts of the State have beeu assassinated in the highways and byways, while in some counties an open state ; of insurrection exists. Congress never made a greater blunder than in adjourning with out placing in our hands the means of prc tectiug ourselves." The Lit tle Rock Republican of the 4th iu-t. announces that an insurrection exi-ts in Crsvghead county much more formidable in character than that which lately existed in Conway county. The Republican de clares it to ho the first out cropping of a formidable movement in behalf of the new ; rebellion.
