THE EVENING STAR says "The revolution in Cuba, has seriously effected the hoop pole business .of the farmers in Franklin county. Maine." Bedford county has been somewhat injured in that line too. FOURTH' OF MARCH. —The importance of the ftb of March was not altogether over looked in Bedford. A salute of thirty-six guns was fired in honor of the occasion. The Stars and Stripes were flung to the breeze early in the morning from the top o' the Washington House and proudly floated the entire day. In the evening the Re publican Silver Band turned out and dis coursed some of their best music. DON'T FAIL to read the communication from the railroad committee in another col un-n. Our people must put their shoulders to the wheel if they would have a railroad. It is the interest of every man woman and child in the community. The whole town will be canvassed shortly and the subscription* here will settle the question whether we shall have a railroad or not. If the town does its duty the country will not be found wanting. Come, up to the work, property holders, me chanics. laborers every-body and we will soon have a railroad. A TRAIN OF CARTS numbering seventeen passed through this place from the west, on Tuesday evening. Such an unusual spectacle called quite a crowd into the streets to see and learn the import of thishegiraof the carts. On inquiry it was ascertained that they were from the Sand I'atcb tunnel on the Pittsburgh and Conuellsviile railroad, and were bound lor Carlisle* Pa. Mr. Collins the owner baring abandoned his contract on the tunnel. The work on the tunnel however does not stop as the contract was undertaken and work begun by another party the same day that Mr. Collius abandoned it. TH* PITTSBURGH FEMALE COLLEGE.—We clip the following complimentary notice of this institution from the Pittsburgh CkrUtimn Adtocatc. "The Pittsburgh Female College it enjoying marked prosperity, especially in the boarding department There is but a single vacancy. Philadelphia, in the East, and St Paul, Omaha, and Independence, Missouri, in the Meat, and intermediate points, have sent representatives to our ex cellent institution. Among the numbers are the daughters of Bishop* Simpson and Kingsley. Unusual facilities are afforded in all the aohd and ornamental branches, and the College Faculty rank* among the very j best in the land. The spring term will com 1 mence March 23d." Send to Rev. J. C. I Pershing Pittsburgh Pa. for a catalogue. Bedford Rail Road. The undersigned committee, appointed to obtain subscriptions, have done, up to this lime, what they deemed best to accomplish their work. Soir.e citizens have done tneir duty. Some have bait" dona it, and others have not done it at all. Upon this latter class particularly, the responsibility restsof defeat ing, what they all acknowledge to be, our only help as a thriving community. No more persuasion is to be made use of with those who ought, at once, to embrace the only op portunity, perhaps, they will ever have, of making their own neighborhood what it ought to be. Ibe grading and bridging will not cost above $70,000,00 as ascertained by actus' survey and calculation; one half of this sum can be easily raised by the people of Bedford; if this is done, the other half can be raised out-side of Bedford, and the road put under conlraet.this coming Spring. The committee are no more interested in this than any uthe r individuals. The books are still open at the Prothonotary's office, and it remains to be sn whether our citizens will allow oi'r town and vicinity to becoma dried up. and the Bed ford Springs get to he no where, or whether we shall rival Altoona and Saratoga. Upon our own people, at this particular time, these things depend. A. Ktst; W. M. HARTLEY JKO ALMP G. W. GI'HP O. E. SB i.vxo* ''lie Railroad—How to Knise the .'loury NAPIER TP., March 8, 1869. lou.v IJUTZ, Esq.-; Dear Sir —l went to Schellsburg on last Wednesday to attend the Railroad meeting, but the committee "ho were appointed to attend to that business fail ed to make their bppea-ance; at least I could not find them. 1 suppose that after attend ing the other meetings they were d •■couragrd and went home. Ido not think from theap pearaitce of the crowd in Schellsburg that day, that it would have paid very well. I have been thinking considerably about this Kaiiroad projec of late, and have come to the conclusion that if we have to depend on subscriptions alone we will never have a rail road to Bedturd. A great many men who ar able to subscribe largely and who would be ihemost benefitted by a Railroad will notgive xnyihinfr, thinking that the road will be made anyhow. Others will not subscribe because they had subscribed to the Bedford Railroat) once and bad to pay their subscrip' on, very unjustly as they thought. Now, sir. 1 can see but one way to robe the stock to build ibis road: and Unit is to petition the Legi-la ture to pass a law to allow (or compel* a tax to be levied on the townships most interested in the road, for an amount equal to, say five times as much as the county tax, for two > ears, or. if that is not sufficient, let it run on tor three years or longer if necessary. 1 have t-aiked with a number of the tax payers o! this neighborhood, and I think wliete the people understand it, there will be very little opposition to the plan. Ido not kuov what persons in uther parts of the county or town ships proposed to be taxed may think of it. 1 make the auggestiou that we do so. and if those who are managing the enterprise think it advisable to adopt this plan of raising stock, let them start the petitions. One or two ac tive men in each township can get the mo- 1 of the tax paye-s to sign petiiions in a few days. If we do anything it must be done soon, as the Legislature will soon sdj urn. The Townships of Snake Springs, Bedford. Napier, Juniata, Harrison, Londonderry and the Boroughs of Bedford and Schellaburgh are the places where the tax ought to be laid We have been talking about this railroad long enough; it ia time we would go to work ana do something or abandon it altogether. I'here is no -e in spending so much gas on it. It is money we want now, and the only way we can get it is by a tax. Then let each taxpayer hold stock in the road equal to hi tax paid. Let others, who can, subscribe in addition to the tax: in that way the road will be built, and it is my opinion it will never be done by the people ol this county in any other way. I have given you a few of my thought on this subject; vou are at liberty to d > with it as you please. If any other person has a belter plan of raising money I would like to bear hiui speak right out in meeting. 1 ours truly. G. W. WILLIAMS. No Gocoixt; GENTLEMEN. —There are about twenty-five Democratic candidate* in this county, for the offices ot Prothonntary, Sheriff, Treasurer and Commiss i ner. A number of these have bten standing i ffiuc seekers for ten or fifteen years, hut as the) don't quite come up to the ideas of the "wire workers" who are running the machine in this quarter, they are dumpped off on every occasion, and afterwards "honeyed' up again with faithful promises that they will get the nomination the near/ time. Thus it has been going on for a long time, the politicians al ways managing to trade off what they call the weak, innocent, easy fellows—those whom they can coax back again. Thus it is going on row. The sharper* already hare the tick et made up: twenty one candidates ate al ready slaughtered, and the questions now dis cused in the caucus meetings are "what shall we do to make it all right with these defeated candidates?" "How can we smooth it over that they will not stnell the rat?" u Promtte them the office for the next time'' whisner halt a dozen wire workers who have played that game before, and who are afraid to speak above a whisper for fear of being beard. "Tell "em we did all we could for them this time, and if they support the ticket this cam paign the way is open for them the next round. The main obj-ct of these knights ot Democracy is to keep on the "good side" of the twenty five candidates and on every occa sion to iusure to each one the nomination de sired. A little time will show in which quar ter the gouging was carried on. and will aUo show some of the above described "soft-soap ing." OCR FROG PONUS —The attention of the borough authorities is ca'led to the water standing in the gutters on Juliana street lrom the Inquirer building to the Court house. It is true thers are some slight obstructions oc casionally in front of the Inquirer building but from trequent observation we have se rious doubts. as to whether the fall allowed in grading the street is sufficient to carry off all the water. A brisk shower, at any time sines the grading, has been sufficient to fill the gutters and overflow the pavement along the public square. The matter should be atten ded to before the grading, curbing and paving <>f the street is done. We wish to begin ours next week. Will not the borough council look after the wor sat once, and enable us to get to the court house, after or during rains, without wading ? \Y ao V> ANTS A SEWINQ MACHINE ?—We have a new s,i i,OO Grover and Baker sewing machine which we will dispose of on easy terms to any one who wants a eood machine: and who does not want a good sewing ma chine ?

"THE \ IOILAKCR FIRE CC-MFAKY," of Bed ford, was organized on Monday evening last, by the election of the following officers: President- 11. J. King. (ice President— John A. Nicodemua, Secretary— J. N. Alsip, Treasurer —J. E. Smith. Several moves have been ma'de in this di rection befoie, but after the excitement and novelty of tbe-first few weeks was over the companies sank into oblivion. We need a fire company in this place, one in which the people will depend. We will be glad to see the young men who have enlisted in this en terprise meet with success. We hope the Borough authorities will leud their assistance and advice. Ihe standing advice to a green fire compa ny runs something likelhe following: "The moment you bear an alarm of fire, scream like a pair of panthers. Run any way, except the right way,—for the furthest way round ia the nearest way to the fire, l' you hitppen to run on the top of a wood pile, so ntucb the belter, you can then get a good view of the neighborhood. If a light breaks 011 your view, "bieak"'for it immediately; but be sure you don't jump into a bow win dow. Keep yelling, all the time: and, if you can't make night hideous enough yourself, kick all the dogs you come across, and set them yelling, too; 'twill help amazingly. A brace of cats dragged up stairs by the tail would be a "powerful auxiliary." When you reach the scene of the fire, do all you can to convert it into a scene of destruction, 'fear down all the fences in the vicinity. It it be a chimney on fire, throw salt down it: or, if you can't do that, perhaps tha best plan would be to jerk off the pump handle and pound it down. Don't forget to veil, all the while, as it will have a prodigious effect in frightening off the fire. The 'ouder the bat ter. of course; and the more ladies in the vi cinity, the greater necessity for "doing it brown." Should the roof begin to smoke, get to work in good earnest, and make any man "smoke" that interrupts you. If it is summer, and there are fruit trees in the lot. cut them down, to prevent the fire frcm roast ing the apples. Don't forget to yell! Should the stable be threatened, carry out the cow chains. Never mind the borse —I It be alive and kicking; and if his legs don't-do their du ty let them pay fur tie roast. Ditto as to the hogs;—let then, save their own bacon, or smoke for it. When the roof begins to burn, get a crow bar and pry away the stone steps; or. if the steps tie of wood, procure an ax and chop them tin. Next, cut a ay the wash-boards in the basement story; and if that don'tstop the flames. let the chair boards on ibe first floor share a similar fate. Should the "devouring element" still | tirsue the "even tenor of its way,'" you had better as cend to the second story. Pitch out the pitchers, and tumble out the tumblers. Yell all the time ! IF yon finds baby abed, fling it into the second story window ol the house across the way: but let the kitten down in a work bank et. Then draw out the bureau drawers, and empty their contents out of the back wii dow; •elling somebodv below to upset the slop bar rel and rain water hogshead at the same time. Of course, you will attend to the mirror. I he further it can be thrown, the more pieces will be made. If anybody objects, smash it over his bead. Do not, under any eireutn S'ances, drop the long- down from the second story; the fall might break its legs, and ren der the poor thing a cripple for life. Set it straddle ot your shoulders, and carry it down carefully. Pile the bed clothes care/ullv on the floor, and throw the crockery out of the window. By the time you have attended to nil these things, the fire will certainly H® ar rested, or the building burnt down. In eith er ca-EJ your services will be no longer need ed.

DEAR SIR: —In your paper of last week you or one of jour correspondents sat that Dr.— is not the originator of the celebrated PI.ANTA rio* BITTERS, and that they were manufac tured and sold by one Pedro Marteile , an old Spaniard, in tba Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago. as every old sea captain can testify. Now air, I can certify to the above being true, for I have followed the sen for over forty years, most of the time doing busi oesa with the West Indies. These same Hit lers. differently put up and named, were brought to my notice on my first trip to the Islaud of St. Croix for a cargo of rum, and for years and jears after my ship's stores were never without them.

March, that gives us % new President, is also (lie inaugural month of many hairassing disorders. Entangled in its fogs are the seeds of coughs, colds, and of that alternation of frigidity and fire, more widely known than admired, called fever at.d ague. The only way to avoid these "little unpleasantnesses," is to render the system strong enough to off the atmospheric poison that produces them, and the beet way to endow it with this repellent power is to tone it with HOSTET TEIVS STOMACH BITTERS. If a wayfarer were credibly informed that a ruffian was waiting at the next comer, he would doubtless turn in his tracks, and take a safer route to his destination. With just about the same amount of trouble, the attacks of diseases prevalent at this season may be evaded. Nay, the trouble will be less, for drug stores lis in every one's route, and every respectable druggist in the Union keeps on hand HOSTE I TER'S BITTERS. The article is a staple of trade, and it would be as easy to find a grocery without sugar, as the store of an apothecary without this popular tonic remedy. In view of the experience of the nation with regard to the article, during the space of twenty years, it seems almost unnecessary to recapitulate its merits to Americans. But as our population is increasing at the rate ot a couple of millions a year, in the natural way and by immigration, it maybe as well to hint to the rising generation and new arrivals (the old settlers know all about it,) that HOSTET TER'S STOMACH BITTERS is the mo* wholesome and potent vegetable touic ever manufactured; that it is a specific for debil ity. dyspepsia, biliousness, and miasmatic fevers; that it prevents, as well as cures, these complaints and their complications; that it ts not "bad to take," and is absolutely harmless. 1 m IK you spend tweuty-five cents for a box of Hockerman Tobacco Cure, you will save five dollars a year tor tobacco.

I want to rouse each sleepy head, Who ttinds upon the brink, Where yawning gulfs disclose the dead, Who might, but did not, think. I want to warn the living ones _ Who biindiy grope along, le fathers, daughters, mothers, sons, W hat perils round you throng ! Look out. my rvader, are you free, Or do you wear the mark? Most all are blind and cannot see, Yea, groping in the dark. Catarrh, a demon in the bead, Consumption is its son; Kills hosts, yea, countless million", dead, Perhaps you roaj be one. That hacking, hawking,spitting, shows, Catarrh ud'ectt your beatl, Matter and slime in throat or no.e, Runs down your 'hroat instead. Your lungs and liver oon will show, Consumption has its birth; Catarrh, its sire, will feed it too, 'Till jou return to earth. If colds affect your head and threat, ANHIBILATOR buy; Now don't forget what I have wrote, Or think this subject d*y. WALCOTT'S ANNIHILATOR cures Catarrh —the demon dies; It saves the lungt, good health insures, And Catarrh quickly dies. I want to gratify my friends, Who wish to understand About PAW PAINT, its use, its ends, And why its great demand. I want to show you. plain as day, Why PAW PAWT stops all pain, That you may never have to say '•I'll not try paint again." PAW PAINT will cool but never stain; Pumps inflammation out; 'Tis harmless on the breast or brain, A trial stops all doubt. When inflammation leaves the frame, All pain will cease at once; Re nove the cause, 'tis all the same; None doubts unless a dunce. The pores will ope and drink PAW PAINT; Absorbents fill with ease; Restores the weak, the sick the faint, The greatest skeptic please. Evaporation cools the place As inflammation flies; Hot blood at the absorbent's base Makes paint in vapor rise. 'Tia thus PAIN PAINT removes all doubt, Removes the very cause By pumping inflammation out; Oi. thi# we rest our cause. Wolcott's Pain Paint is sold at all Drug Sto r es; also, Wolcott's Annihilator, for the cure of Ca tarrh and Colds in the bead. Sent by Express on receipt of the uionev, a* Isl Chatham Square, N. Y.
