COLD FEET. —There is no more fruitful source of pulmonary disease than cold feet. Cold feet cannot possibly occur if the circu lation is properly kept up. A sense of cold ness in them is an indication that they are not sufficiently protected by clothing. Our bo dies are often overburdened with overcoats aad wrapping shawls, while onr limbs are but imperfectly covered. THE WEATHER. During the past week we have had rain, snow, sleet, hail, ice. wind, cairn, sunshine and shadow accompanied wi--h headache, toothache, Sore throat, whoop piug cough, Rheumatism Ac. a great deal of which -.ickness) might be avoided if the good citizens of our town would keep their pavements in a respectable condition'. Damp feet are all the go. CAV it be possible that over Five Million Bottles of PLANTATION - BITTERS have been sold during the past year? It is almost in credible, nevertheless it is 1 absolutely true, and is the mo6t convincing proofof their won derful medicinal and health-restoring quali ties. Every family should be supplied with these Bitters, at whatever cost or trouble it may be to obtain them. Be careful that you get the genuine, and that you are not imposed upon by a spurious article. THE Tableaux which came off during the holidays were undoubtedly the best ever had in this vicinity. The beauty, talent and taste of the town old and young were judiciously selected as the performers, and enacted their 1 arts with a great deal of credit. The house was crowded every evening showing the ap preciation of the paying public. The re freshment tables were well patronized. After al! expenses were defrayed the committee re alized a balance of two hundred and fifteen dollars. SHOULD BE STOPPED. —SmaII pilfering seems to be one of the vices of our town. The WiftypjsrJjools are not exempt from the infec lossee of Looks, slates, inkstands Ac. The pilfering is done either by the scholars in the school or by the persons having charge of the firemaking and cleansing of the school-rooms. If any of the scholars are guilty the teachers should find it out and have them expelled. If other employes about the schools are the guilty parties, the directors should see to it that they be promptly discharged. It is the duty of teachers and directors to fenet out and punish the guilty parties without delay. THET REMEMBER THE PRlNTEßS.—Yester day morning the compositors of the Telegraph office were agreeably surprised at the entrance into the composing room cf a yoang man, prepossessing appearance, carrying a large basket, the contents of which he quickly deposi' ted on the floor, causing a general rush of all hands, who found the contents to be a large lot of splendid apples and freshly roasted pea nuts, sent to them by the gentlemanly pro prietors of the College Block Confectionery and Fruit Store, Messrs. Gardner k Sayford. It is almost unnecessary to say that the recip ients of the gift did full justice to the articles. They desire to return their thanks to the do nors, and wish them a long life and prosper ous business.— Harrisburg Telegraph. Such things are unheard of in Bedford. So our boys say. OUR AGRICULTURAL Cotxjtii.—We ask our farming friends not to forget our agricultural colamn on the fourth page of the paper. They will find some good jokes along side of it but we would not have them confine their atten tion to the humorous matter. Our agricul tural articles are selected with great care from the best agricultural and horticultural journals of the country and we further pro pose from time to time to have original arti cles prepared with special reference to farm ing in Bedford County. We will be pleased to have contributions to this department from experienced and successful iarmers in the county, giving the results of their experience in the various departments of agricultural, husbandry. "Common sense in farming'' in this weeks issue w;u doubtless suggest some good ideas to many of our farming friends. We are promised several additional articles on similar subjects during the winter. PARDONS OF 18G8—The report of the Gov ernor on pardons shows 106 granted during the year being considerably less than the average number in past years. A tatemen t accompanying the report shows an average of pardons and remissions from 1791 to 1868 of 149 yearly. There were only two criminals from Bedford County pardoned*during the past year. The record of them in the reports is as follows:— lSAAC SUAFFKR, Bedford county, Sept 5, 1807. ''Larceny." Five years in Wes tern Penitentiary. Pardoned Feb. 27. Rec ommended by the president judge and district attorney, Hon. John Cessna, E. F. Kerr, A. D. Koontz, S. M. Barclay, A. S. Russell, O. E. Shannon, and many more. Reasons: Shafer was seventy five years old, and in de clining health: a monomaniac on the subject of horse stealing: and promised if released, to expose an extensive gang of horse thieves, and make other important disclosnres. We have never beard of the disclosures since the pardon was granted. J AMIS KIT. Bedford county, Feb. 16, 1897. "Assault and Battery ." Three years and one month in Western Penitentiary. Pardoned Mar. 26, upon recommendations from Hon. John Cessna, A. L. Russell, J. Mower. Thomas Hughes, F. Benedict, M.

MURDER —We learn from the Shippensburg News that a horrible murder was committed on New year's day a short distance south of that town. The body of the murdered man (Henry Stabrn) was found buried on the bank of a pond on the farm of Marshall Mains' Heirs, about three miles south of the town. A jury was empaneled and sworn and ren dered a verdict ''that the man came to his death in a violent manner at the hands of Ad am Titns. It is supposed that Titus decoyed Stahm into this secluded spot and took liis life, that he might get posessioa of his money which probably was S4O. The heirs says. On Thursday, Titus and wife came to town and made purchase of goods to the amount of S3O to $35. On Fri day morning between eight and nine o'clock, he took a shovel from the honse of his mother in law, and started in the direction where he had murdered St&bro.—Mrs. Fry. suspecting that he had made way with Stahm, followed after him, some distance in his rear. He passed on to a neighbor's and borrowed a pick; while there she discovered blood on the snow, when she started for home. Titus, as he says, returned, dug a hole one foot deep, stripped the murdered man of all his clothing except an undershirt, then placed the body in the grave, threw ground enough on him to cover the body, and then secreted the clothes from twenty to sixty feet in different direc tions from the body. Stahm, the murdered man, was from Germany, having arrived in this country about six months ago. He was about 40 years of age, stout built, dark com plexion, and five feet eight inches in height. He made the acquaintance of Titns while working on the South Mountain Railroad, near Carlisle, and came to this place with Titus on Monday, the 28th ult. On Wednes day following, they went into the woods, it is alleged, to cut fire wood, which was the last time that Stahm was seen alive. The mur der was committed with an axe, and from the post-mortem examination made by Drs. How land and Nevin. the first blow alone was sufficient to cause instant death. There was a deep heavy cut across the forehead, exten ding from the right eye-brow to the right ear, and the scull smashed; the head was almost entirely severed from the body, the vertebra completely divided, and only a small portiou of the skin of the hack part of the neck, hol ding the head to the body. Titus, the murderer, is about 27 years of age, small in stature and fair complexion; is rather intelligent, and can converse and wiite in German fluently. lie came to this coun try from Germany about one year ago, uad has been working in the neighborhood since April last, as a lal < ring man. He has com mitted a number of thefts, one in Chambers burg, that of stealing a watch from a colored woman, and was convicted and confined in the Chambersburg jail. He was looked upon as a dangerous man, though his appearance would indicate otherwise. On Saturday morning Constable Hvkes took him to Car lisle and placed bim in the county jail to await his trial.

LY ON'S, nee O'Hara, consort of the late Nicho las Lyons, merchant of this place, departed this life on the morning of the 3d, ot Jan. at her residence in Bedford, iiv her 68th year. I'he deceased was born and raised in Pitts burgh, but spent all her married life in Bed ford. She was a member of the distinguished O'Hara family so connected with the begin ning. growth and prosperity of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Lyons was a christian lady in the most exalted sense. Her appearance and general manner was truiy dignified—and indicated a noble and lofty soul, but her moral virtues were her brightest ornaments. Whilst she charmed by her grace people of the world, the pious found in her unostentatious virtues, matter of edib -ation and example. She was profoundly religious, devout without affecta tion. She was respected and loved by all her neighbors; She was kind and merciful to the poor, the widow and the orphan. No one was more beloved by the members of her household, her domestics, and su -h was her charity that -he had always on hand some poor friendless one to maintain in her house for whom she well provided both temporally and spiritually. She is gor.e to receive her exceeding great reward, from Him who ac knowledges as done to himself whatever his charitable disciples do for their needy lellow creatures. "Then the just will answer Him; when did we see Thee a stranger and take lhee in or naked and did cover Thee, or when did we see Thee sick?" "And the king will answer : as long as yon did it to one of the ieast of these my brethren ye did it to me. Matt. XX\ . 37tb v. It is from the recollection of these high christian virtues, and from her pious and happy death, she having received most seasonably and fervent ly all the rites and sacraments of the church, that her bereaved children and numerous sor rowing friends, draw those sources of hope and consolation which must dry up their tears, and make them feel a well grounded assurance that God b a th only taken back his own lent to us on earth for a time: and thai her abode this day is in /.ion, and that the beautiful prayer of the church at nbr obs qttieg will be heard in her regard. May the martyrs receive lhee at thy coming and bring thee to the Holy city of Jerusalem—and mayest thou have eternal rest with tne once poor Lazarus." R. J. p. January ah, 1869, after a somewhat pro tracted sickness. DAVID PATTERSON i AB(|. | of Bedford Tp., this county, aged 73 years, 4 months and 24 days. His fuuercl took place on Sabbath after noon lrom his late residence at the mill, and his were interred in the Bedford Cemetery. The remains of his partner in life who ha ! preceded birn to the eternal world some 27 years, were lifted from the old burying grounds in the town and deposit ed by the side of his in the same grave. A very large audience attended his funeral, evi dencing their respect for him. as a citizen, a neighbor a friend and a christian. For 30 years he had been a member of the Preshy terian church, which he liberally supported and regularly attended when health permit ted. He was kind to the poor, a good neigh bor a worthy citizen, and an humble chris tian. A sou and three daughters, all mar ried, the daughters being members of the church survive to mourn his departure. The deceased was a brother of Rev. Dr. Patter son of the united Presbyterian church, now of Ohio, but formerly, we believe, Preside nt of Westminster College, Lawrence county Pa. cPvcrtUcmfnts.

Faded or gray hair it toon restored to its original color and tie glote and freshness of youth- Thin hair if thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured oy its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the falliciee are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and deeayad. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent thehair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the bair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harui it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer a the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DB. J. C.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adapted into use, in every country and among ail classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any otbc*. Those who have used it, know that it _• cured them; those who have not, know that it cure 9 their neighbors and friends, end all know that what it does once it dues al ways—thit it never fails through pny fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousand? of certificates of the ; r remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cu.ea are known in every neighborhood, and we reed not publish them Adapt id to all age.

Their sugar coating p eserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,* nlillo Vein 3 pwivly txno k*rua vm • 100 from their u;e in any quun-ity.

Minute directors are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which theto Pills rapidly cure: For Dyepeptla or Indigestion, Lietleeemee, Lan guor and Lo9 of AvprJts. they should betaken moderately to stimulate the titomrch and resto-e its healthy tone aid action.

For Rheumatism, (tout, Graeel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Rack aud Lome, they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Drop*y and Dropsical Swellings they should be taken in large and frequent doses to piodr.ee the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a largo dose should betaken I a- it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote arrest ton smut relieve iur jtvujnvU.
