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.

''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.

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 ?
AL-SO a new Singer Sewing Machine for
sale as cheap RS can be gold in the com
munity and on the best of terms.
ALSO a Seventy five dollar Machine of the
American Buttonhole and Overseaming
Sewing machine Company's Manufactuie on
the most favorable terms.
Either of the two last named machines can be
ecn in operation in town, where they have
given the most complete satisfaction. Fur
ther particulars can be had by calling at, or
writing to, the INQUIRER Office Bedford Pa.
"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. "
THS ft EATIEK. — Siuce we went to press
last th'a weather has been very changeable.
On Saturday we bad high tvinds and snow
" ormsall day- Saturday night was the cold
est we have had since Christmas. Sunday
morning w as very cold but moderated through
the day. Monday was damp and cloudy
though not so cold. Tuesday was a genuine
-pring day; the weather was very warm and
i.li-asant, and our town folks appeared to en
joy it hugely: about Sun-set the Heavens
were again covered with cloud,, and during
■he entire night we had rain. Wednesday
norning was ushered in with several very
Heavy showers and up to the time we go to
press mnd predominates.
NEW YORK, July l>t. 1808.
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. I always supplied
my family and many of my neighbors with
them, and can truly say a better Bitters and
I onic is not made in all the world.
Yours, truly,
CAPT. IIEXRY WENT/.

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

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,

Or think this subject d*y.

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.

It is a perfect and wonderful article. Cures
fialdness. Makes hair grow. A better dres-ing
ihan any "oil" or "pomatum." Softens brash,
dry and wiry hair into Beautiful Silken Tresses.
Bat. above all. the great wonder ia tbe rapidity
with which it restores GRAY HAIR TO ITS
ORIGINAL COLOR.
The whitest and worst looking hair res tmes its
youthful beauty by its use. It does not dye the
hair, but strikes at the root and fills it witfi new
lite and coloring matter.
The first application will do guod; you will see
the Natural Color returning every day, and BE
KORK YOU KNOW IT, the old, gray, discolor
ed appearance of the bair will be gone, giving
place to lustrous, shining and beautiful locks.
Ask for Hall's Silician Hair Renewer; no other
