CROPS K guarantees tho best five cent Mgar in Bedford. AUTUMNAL EQUINOX.— Monday the 21st niarked the Autumnal EQUINOX. A clear, cool, bright, sunshiny day ushered in the season ot the "sere and yellow leaf' with not a hint of "melancholy days" or "mead ows brown and sere" save here and there a just tinged with the first faint lines of Autumn's gorgeous handiwork. EFFECTS OF CROWING TOO SOON. SOMEBODY becoming highly elated over the Colorado elections, and having no means of exhibiting his joy, sent to Bedford for the Gazette rooster. Accordingly a box was made and the biped was shipped to Harris burg—the next day we find him perched at the top of a coluni in the Patriot crowing over the Ku Klux gains in Maine, Vermont and Colorado. The dase was too strong, the effect of which was sudden sickness that might have terminated in his death had it not been for the magnanimity of the Telegraph who borrowed him for one issue, and finding him too weak for his biz, discharged him. The rooster finding himself at liberty, broke for "home" and crossing the path of our coon was suddenly halted. Just then our special artist came along and look the above hasty sketch. He looks bad, and will look a great deal worse iu October. Pen him up B. F. and feed him on Water-melons, yeast corks or something that swells —you ought to have him fat before you hear from the state of South ampton. KC KLUXERS IN BLOODY RON. —The Sey mour and Blair club of Bedford turned up in Bloody Run on Saturday evening last. Not being able to raise the wind here, they joined the rebels of the above place, consolidated the clubs and had another of their grand mass meeting fizzles iu a room 8 by 10 feet, — men, women and children numbering about nineteen we suppose. Oh what joy—Look | out for the Sarpents for they cau't stand the j climate at the Run very long. DEMOLITION- OP A CHURCH. —The old Catholic churcb on East street is being torn j down, in order to obtain the brick for use in j the erection of the new church now iu pro i cess of erection, on the corner of Richard | and Peon streets. Workmen have been en gaged on the work for a week or two past and the walls are now all down except the east ern end. The chapel along side the site of the old church is now used for the regular church services. " THE Franklin County Agricultural Fair will be held on the oth', 7th, Bth, and 9th, days of October next at Chambersburg. We find our neighbors all holding their regular Agricul tural fairs, but Bedford county seems to have entirely forgotten all the good resolutions of last year. We suppose every body is so in teut upon the election of Grant and Colfax that there is no time left for looking after agricultural matters. FROST. —On Friday morning last we had a genuine visit from jack frost. Owing to the dense fog that arose shortly after daylight no serious damage seems to have been done in the immediate vicinity of the town. Reports from various parts of the country however, represent the damage done as being very considerable, late corn and garden vegetables generally having suffered severely. HARPER'S MAGAZINE, Atlantic, Galaxy, Lippincott, Eclectic, Godey, Demorest's, Frank Leslie, Lady's Friend, Riverside, Young Folks, Nick Nax and Arthur's Home Maga zine, for October, are all on hand and for sale at the INQUIRER Book Store.

The following communication should have . appeared in last week's issue but was mislaid until too late for publication. Nr. Editor: As you request local items from different parts of the county, we comply with your request and hope this may find a place in the columns of your worthy paper. On Saturday, Sept. sth, the citizens of New Paris held the first Sabbath School celebra tion ever held in this neighborhood and it re flected great credit on all concerned. At an early hour the citizens and children assem bled at the church, which was beautifully decorated with evergreeus, and presented a pleasing appearance. All were deeply inter ested. The school is composed ot ninety scholars. There were in all present at the exhibition over two hundred persons. After the officers of the school had arranged their respective classes, and when all was comple ! ted, addresses were delivered by Rev. J. F. Tallhelm and Rev. W. J. Statler, upon the utility of Sabbath schools. The school then formed a procession bearing banners and other devices, and marched to a beautiful grove, where a large table groaned beneath the weight of the comforts of life, exhibiting great taste and skill ou the part of the ladies of New Paris and vicinity, in crowning the festal board with cakes, pies, fowls and oth er delicacies. The scholars then surrounded the table, and after imploring the blessing of Almighty God, partook with a hearty good will. Altogether the day was passed pleas antly and we hope profitably. Long live the ladies for their hospitality. lit res P. WRIGHT. JACOB SNOOK, ALBERT WRIGHT. Tribute of Respect. SAXTON LODGE NO. 894, I. O. of O.

Resolved, 3d, That we cherish the memory of our departed Brethren as that of punctual, consistant and energetic members of this Lodge. Resolved , 4th, That we deeply sympathise with the families of the deceased, in the-sore affliction that has fallen upon them —that we heartily commend them to the protection and love of Him who says : "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me," and that we will faithfully discharge toward tbem all the du ties made binding upon us by the high and Sacred principles ot our Order. Resolved, sth, That the families of our de parted brethren be furnished each with a copy of these resolutions : also that a copy be sent to the Bedford Gazette and Bedford IN QUIRER with a request to publish the same. CHARI.ES 5. FAXON, B. J. GROVES, L. B. WALTZ. Committee. 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 pepsia, Nervousness, Sour Stomach, Lots 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, to be taken as a tonic and gentle stimulant. They are adapted to any age or condition of life, and are extensively popular with mothers aud persons of sedentary habits, 2t What is this Marvelous Antidote to Dis ease Which, for TWENTY' YEAKS, has been winning " golden opinions from all sorts of people " un der the name of nOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ? It is an infusion of tho most excellent tonic, anti-bilions, anti-scorbutic and alterative herbs, roots and barks, in the purified spirituous essence of Rye. HOW DOES, IT OPERATE? This question may be briefly answered as fol lows: It operates As a Powerful Invigorant. As a Preventive of Fevers. As a Genial Stomachic. As an Anti spasmodic. As a Gentle Purgative.

As a Cordial for the Aged. As an Antidote to Sea Sickness. As an Anodyne for the Sleepless. Asa Wholesome Stimulant. As a Balm for the Weary Brain As a Relief in Bodily Anguish. And as a PROTECTION TO HEALTH AND LIFE under all depressing and devitalising influ ences.

Anson Burlingame) conceded to thie Compa ny the privilege nf connecting the great etaporte of the Empire by submarine electric telegraph ca ble, we prnpote commencing operation • in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred milee at once, between the folltncing parte, viz : Population, Canton 1,000,000 Macoa 60,000 Hong-Kong —250,000 Swatow aao can Amov 250.00(1 Foo-Chow - 1,250,000 Wan Chu 300,000 Ningpo 400,000 Hang Chcan 1.200,000 Shanghai 1,000,000 Total 5,910,000 These ports have a foreign commerce of $1)00,- 000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, beside which we have the immense internal commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through its canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this Company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means cf communication, wbichmust command there, as everywhere else, the commu nications of the Government, of business, and of social life, especially in China. She has no pos tal system, and her only means now of communi cating information is by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. The Western World knows that China is a very large country, in the main densely peopled; but a few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purpo ses by the local magistrates make her population Four Hundred and Fourteen Jfiltione, and this is more likely to be under than over the actual ag gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, not only can but do read and write. Her civilization is peculiar, but her literature is as extorsive as that of Europe. China is a land of teachers and traders; and tho latter are ex ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for procuring early information. It is observed in California that the Chinese make great use of the telegraph, though it there trans mits messages in English alone. To day great numbers of fleet steamers are cwned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence. If the tele graph we propose, connecting all their great sea ports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would pay the cost within tho first two years of its surcessful operation, and would steadily increase thereafter. No enterprise commends itself as a greater de gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole people. It is of a vast national importance com mercially, politically, and evangelically. The stock of this Company has been unquali fiedly recommended to capitalists and business men, as a desirable investment by editorial arti cles in the New York Herald, Tribune, World, Timet, Pott, Ewprett, Independent, and in the Philadelphia North American, Prcee, Ledger, In quirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.

'■r* % HAIR VIGOR, KOR Till RENOVATION OF Til E HAIR. THE UJIEAT DESIDERATUM of the. AVE: A dressing which ie at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to it* original color and the gloee and freshness of youth. Thin hair la thickened, falling hair checked, and baldne&° of ten, though not always, iured by its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the falliciee are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of louling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently provent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not barm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DIIE SSI NG , nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy luetro and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C.
