a- we hope to be able hereafter to do full du
ty for a long time to erne. No ord:*'j
difficulty is allowed to interfere with tic
publication of a newspaper—disaster,

valid excuses for the nonappearance of a
paper on its usual publication day, but a j
flittias in a newspaper office is an exception
to the general rule aud is always regarded as
a valid excuse for any irregularity or short
coming on snch occasions. .Such < f our
reader-as have experienced the ir.ccnv-ni

preciate our excuse tbau those who have al
ways been so fortunate a- to possess estab

ACCIDENTS.— One day last week Mr. Bob eg
er an old and respectable citizen of Bedford (
■while in the act c-f opening the shutttr., be
longing to his establishment, fell from" the
lop of the outside step to the pavement and
bruised himself considerably. Ite is fast re

Our young friend Jacob Biddle near Puttcns

an axe while chopping at a post.
"THE Democracy have adopted the Craw
ford County System"' We hope the Town
Council will not adopt Fredk. Crawford's sys
tem of making pavements —With the excep
tion of that one utud bole at the corner of Pitt
and Bedford streets, Mud-town would be a re
spectable looking part of the city.—For the
lus: live or six weeks it has been entirely un
i,m— p,,,.-, ; n [but
fend of town, and we hope tfcey will take pride
and interest enough to have that matter fixed
up.
SUICIDE.—A Mr. AbrahamKelley, living
at foot of the Allegheny mountain, near the
countv line between this and Somerset, com
initted suicide by hanging himself in L>l
barn. on Thursday the Ist inst. \\ E have
not been able to ascertain the full particu
lars of the sad case, but arc informed that it
was caused by financial difficulties. It SEEMS
he had A payment to make on his pr-. prrty
on the first of April, and not being able to
raise the amount, went to his stable to get
a horse with the intention of going to S>m
erset, to try to borrow the money out of the
bank. It is supposed that while preparing
for his joarney he was seized with a fit of
despondency aud hung himself with a lip ■
in the stable.
THE time of year is at band for planting
ornamental'and fruit trees—Every man who
owns a house and lot in Town, ought to Lave
shade trees in front, and ought to be able to
raise enough choice fruit in his yard and gar
den to do his family. It will pay a man for
his trouble it a few years, and it greatly en
hances the value of his property if he ever
wants to sell. A number of old stumps on
Juliana and Pitt Streets ought to be taken
out and yonng trees put in their stead.
Barnhart. McMullea & Co., have a very large
assortment of the finest shade trees in their
nursery and our people ought to take advan
tage of making good selections before they
are all gone. We notice a largo stock of
healthy looking fruit trees and grape vines
there too. Fix up, fix up for the pleasures ol
Summer.
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FINE rem KILLING A
SMALL BIRD. —By an act of the General As
sembly of Pennsylvania, approved the ;i-t of
March, A D. 1868, a penalty of twenty five
doilars, is imposed lor the killing of any in"
sectivoroui bird: one halfottlis fine to be
paid to the informer. Here is an opportuni
ty to make twelve dollars and a half, and ren
der the community effective service. There i
no practice so inhuman as the kiliing of the
pretty little songster* that warble beneath our
windows and gladden our hearts. It is the
duty of every good citizen to prevent their
destruction; and this only can be done by
prosacuting those who violate the law. The
birds that are classed under the head of in
sectivorous birds are robins, martins, swal
lows, blue-birds, woodpeckers Ac. Ac., in
fact ail the various small birds generally
seen in this latitude.
THE RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION has been
at a i-tand still for a week or tiro. lluvc
the men on the committee become weary in
well doing already ? The work is not half
done arid mv>t not stop at this stage. It i*
true there is entirely too much coaxing re
required. People ought to see what is for
their own interest and promote it without
requiring argument or persuasion, but if
they will not, we must coax, argue, per
suade, scold, grumble, or do anything else
that is just and warrantable to accomplish
the work we have taken in hand. But a
word to the people. C -me up and subscribe
without coaxing or scolding, and when you
do come don't subscribe as if the wbo'e
thing were a huge joke, or as you would to
buy Chinese crackers for a fourth of July
celebration W'o arc in earnest, and we
must come to the work like uten if we ex
pect to succeed. Don't wait for yonrneigh
bor, but come forward and set an example.
It is a matter of bu-iuess, and if wc would
succeed, we must put our money into it
liberally just as we would in any other bu.-i
nt*ss enterprise. We propose to publish
the list of subscribers next week, and would
like to see a large increase of names and
dollars on the list by that time.
lIoBRlBl.t MCSBER.—DiSH IUCaCSU*
! SKINNED jII.IVK OX BoHRRS LlSßl*6i Til?
I following particulars of the horrible trogady
j enacted on Bober's l anding last week, we
I hare gleaned from various quarter*—On
I Friday last, Dash McCauslin a resident of
Main Street, started out on a hunting expedi
| lion, following the Juniatia eastward as far as
Bed Bank. Fading nothing in the line,
| he crossed the river at this point, and wended
! his way back as far as Bolter's Landing, where
a large gallinaceous foal attracted his atten
tion to such a d'-gree, a? to excite the sporting
passions tey. nd control, and as a necetsary
consequence in n short time the bird was a
corpse: Whereupon the owner of this turkey,
bent on vsngence, came to town, purchased
a butcher knife, and declared his intention to
take the life of the aggressor—Shortly after
ward he came in contact with McCauslin.
gnbbed him hack of the neck, and plunged
the knife into his throat a little to the left of
the windpipe. He was in the act of repeating
the thrust, when McCausliu by a mighty,
desperate efTort extricated himself, and beat
a hasty retreat for home at which place he
arrived in a short time, the distance being
10-s than a quarter of a mile. Bolter not be
ing sati-fied with what he bad already done,
followed and caught his victim, who, owing to
the loss of blood be had sustained and the
powerful exertion be had made in trying to
frea himself, could not resist the second at
tack, and quietly submitted to have a rope
put around his neck, and be literally dragged
back to the wharf, where the rope was swung
over the top ola lamp-post and in a few mo
ments he was dangling between Heaven and
Karth. Then was enacted a scene which is
truly characteristic of the rudest barbarism.
1 -Ve have read of the Indians who burued ll:rir
! victims at the stake, of the Christian Martyrs
of olden time, and of the barbarous treatment
of Rebel authorities to Union prisoners during
the war, but we neTer expected it to be the
duty of our pen, to chronicle snch fiendish
work in our quiet village of Bedford. —As
toon as tba rope was secured to the po3t,
B 'her with deliberation ami composure, com
menced to skin bis victim, and had half com
pleted Bis work, when the rope broke—the
spark of life which still lingered in the body,
was extinguished by a well directed blow on
the scull w; ha club—after which hit heart was
taken cut and cut to pieces. Boher was arrest
ed, and is in the hands of the cut l Lies—The
fr : < nds cf the deceased took charge of the
..tied body—He leaves a widow and two
children to mourn bi3 untimely death.
BOCA: NEWS. — We commend the following,
••rliicij we clip irom an exchange, to our rea
der- and will be pleased to have any and ad
to furnish us with such items of news as .-
under their notice from time to time:
It is the wish of all editors to give in their
columns as much of the local events of their
town or county as they possibly cu. N >
mat or how trivial an event ntay appear when
:t occurred, it becomes news when it is rut i.i
print, and reaches through the news columns
fa daily or weekly paper a distant reader.
Xewvpapers are printed to give pcoj le jn.-t
glieb inlormatioti as these trivial events lur
ttish. In so doing, they serve to refute many
false reports which gain currency. It is tru
that—sometimes by carelessness, sometimes
by willfulness errors d > get into print, But
when a responsible person send to a judi
ciotm editor news, it is generally reliable.
And there are hundreds cf persons in the
vicinity and in other counties and distant
States who take a paper solely for its details
of b'-me affairs. They long for its coming—
seau its columns eagerly—grumble and com
plain bitterly if it does not have the local
news they had a right to expect, and yet n< t
once in twenty years do they ever send the
printer a -ingle fact to aid him in filling hi<
sheet. Housed up in the winter, at work, or
-rime way busy every day- the year round, it is
vary bandy to get hold of current events in
this way. But for the lack of persons to send
in the facts important events transpire, well
enough known in a limited circle, but which
those out.-ide remain in ignorance of, often
to their disappointment. You hear that a
friend. livine some distance away, has d„-
erased. 1 oTt nave business, or xuctai,
personal reasons for desiring to know the
truth of the report of the death, to shape
afl.iirs accordingly. The newspaper comes—,
it. has the death of several persons, but not
of that one. You hope it was a mistake—the
wrong name, the wrong place, or something
else. }on hear the report from another
source. 1 roubled about it, you write a letter
or make a journey, and learn to your surprise
and regret, and damage, perhaps, that it is
too true. A letter to the editor, costing th re
cen.s. would have, apprised you and all other>
of the fact, a week altei wards, saving much
trouble to various persons. It is obvious that
editors cannot station a man in every neigh
borhood to send in news, nor (with all their
wi.-dora) can iheygness deaths, marriages or
accidents (or the weight of newborn calves,
all over the circle of the patronage. Persons
111 the vicinity must take pains, promptly, to
send to the editor the plain fact-, which can
he shaped into proper form in the office.
'■Everybody's business is nobody's. ' Tin
clergyman officiating at a funeral, ihe under
taker, or some of the family, shnu'd have
enough respect to the dead to announce th<-ir
decease—not only becau.-e the fact is of
mournful interest, but SO that people generally
can extend proper sympathy to the survivors,
and reguiate private or public matters tk,
may require attention, if the administrator
of a marriage ccrem ny does not finish his
work by a proper publication, and the go m
• s not proud enough of his bride to do ii. she
should be spunky enough, and have enou"h
self respect, to do i: herself, if it takes lier
wedding ring and all his watch guards. And
o ( l ull the variety of matter* of which the
public hare a right to he informed, and which
icaily interest them—some one (generally
those most coiic n.e ; forward (he fac *
before they can get into type. If our country
fiends—some one or two in each township
would lay these suggestions up in their "tab
le's 01 memory," and drop us a line weekly
from 'heir respective neighborhoods, detail
ing nil the gossip and fact* they hear, we
would be able to gie them the best local
; aper in the county. It i* not necessary for
tbem to write elaborately or put in shape for
publication. Hire us the facts, and we can
prepare them for the press.
BE CACTIOCS. —It may not be cut of place
to give our readers a hint or two in regard to
the preservation of health. With the open
tog of the genial days of spring, people toe
too prone to expose themselves to the changes
' f the atmosphere. Because the day is
warm, oft goes the coat in one sex, and the
shawl i> dispensed with on the part of the
other. These acts are indiscreet to say the
least. They tend to the opening of the d. or
of the system, disease, colds, coughs, con
sumption, and ultimate, death. Thegreatest
caution should be exercised at this season of
the year. The temperature, is variable, and
ihere is no telling at what moment a change
may come, and then the unprotected male
and the sb&wllcss female is placed in a most
uupleasant predicament. shivering and
chattering, and all because they have been
foolish enough to trust to the weather instead
of g )d judgement. We advise our readers
to retain the protections which they have used
duiing the winter and not lay them aside be
cause the sun shines brightly and air breathes
warmly for a few hours. Exercise care and
you will have no occasion to complain of
..changes in the weather."— Exchange.

NIGHT SCENES IN THE BIBLE. —Many of
the most aflV-ciing and most important
scenes described in tba Bible, transpired
under tlio splendors of oriental night. S -
dam and Egypt, Beei-heba and Babylon,
Carinel ami Gdboa, O.iv-t aud KutoiSos.
Jerusalem and thcwraofGallilce, have each,
6y n'gbt, been witnesses of the power and
glory of the omnipotent Jehovah.
The author of Night Scenes in the Bible,
has followed the shadow of night serosa the
landscape of divine revelation, and grouped

| awful or impressive l>y the mantle of daik-
He has succeeded in bringing to licht
new and beautiful gems from the mine of
bible truth, vnd lias produced a delightful
volume. The leading clergymen of the
country have given it their moat cordial ap
proval as a charming and instructive work.
The style in which it is published excels
anything it has becn-.ur privilege to exam
ine. The -tee! engravings by the Grst ar
rist- of the country are jmrfect gem* of art.
We have space todc-cribo but two of them.
The fir.-t is The Night Watch in Mount
Scir. B ddcone of the mountain passes,
with grand peaks towering, crag uf on crag,
on tiiher side, stands the watch-tower, w.th
its solitary watchman. Ju-t through the
pas can be seen the first bright streaks ol
approaching dawn. At the foot of the pas-,
wholly shaded by the overhanging crags, a
party of travelers are encamped. They cry
out to the watchman: Watchman, what
of the niglit, and down through the pa-t
comes ievetberating that cheering cry, The
morning comcth. Again we pas- on down
1 the ages to the time when the long looked
for morning had couie, ami the Hod of riglit
eousuess had arisen with healing in Ilis
beams. Before us is a lone mountain -ide,
and a prostrate form kneeling on its un
eu: Ironed rock. The pale moonbeams creep
among the crags, jost revealing their bar
reiiti the stars shine dimly overb ad; a
huge night bird flays its wings and alone
breaks the stillness of the midnight hour;
but glory surrounds the lowiy form—it is
,1--us. for i: cam to pass in those days that
lie went cut in oa mountain to pray, and
continued all night in prayer to God. It:
its- a sublime scene, and the representation J
before us tends to awaken the most devout
reflections.
\V o love to dwell upon the scenes por
trayed in these illustrations; nml we feci
that no one cuti fail to be benefitted, both by !
tic. e truthful and itapicssivo pictures, and j
by the earnest words of the writer. Let pa- \
tents, who wi. h to have their children love
the word of Go 1. and understand its lessons i
of wisdom and love, secure this volume, ami
give them free nc r-s to its pages.

OI L BEDFOSII FOIENDS, while talking of a
railroad to ibis region should ask themselves
wbic-h route is through the best country, that
voiding to Bridgeport or that leading to Cum
berland 1 What can they get, at Bridgeport,
and what can't they get at Cumberland .'
From which point vill they receive most aid;
Cumberland or Bridgejpoet? Have they any
iti'lucetiK ritii to invite them to Bridgeport?
If they want a railroad at ail, why don't they
ottil i it to a point of gome importance ? They
can a!! answer these questions as v.e!l as we
can.— Cumberland Civilian anil Telegraph.
In answer to our Cumberland friends we
would say that the road to Bridgeport is at
least ten miles shorter than that to Cumber
land and can be built at less cost per mile.
This is ait item of no small importance to us, as
the most difficult part of cur woik will be to
r;tic the funds 0> build even twenty miles on
the cheapest route. By Bridgeport the dis
tantm from Bedford to Cumberland is but
three or fonr miles greater than by the most
direct route we could take and the road willuf
ford u about the sane facilities for communi
cation as a direct road to Cumberland while it
will afford us direct communication, by the
nearest route, with Pittsburg. These are the
main considerations that si present induce us
to attempt the building of a road to Bridgeport.
If Cu nberland and its people will show us
that funds can be more easily raised for a
road direct to Cumberland we will
have no objection to changing our programme.
Our object is to get n railroad connection
with some road either South or West and as
our ability to raise funds is very limited we
are obliged to select the nearest and cheap
est route.

THIS PITTSBCRI; AMI COKSELXSTII.LIC RAIL
ROAD.—During the past winter several of the
contract* on this road have beeu thrown up
by the parties who had undertaken them,
they averring that they had already lost large
mini, and would lose more should they con
tinue the work. This of course checked the
progress of the work some* ha'. Last fall
1 forty three sections were let, und forty seven
remained unlet, between Cumberland and
Coctjellsville, a distance of ninety miles.
Those sections which were lot at that time
comprised the heaviest wotk on the line of
the road. The company have now determin
ed to put the entire work under contract; to
let ail the sections which have not been he:e
to fore bid for, as well as to re-let those which
have been thrown up during the winter. The
specifications will be ready for distribution at
their office by the 9th instant. The work
| will be put in hands at once, and the officers
of the company will make every effort to have
the road opened and cars running between
Pittsburg snd this city by the fall of IF7O.
The completion of this road is a matter of
the greatest importance to our city, as it is to
place us in quick and close connection with
the greatest manufacturing city in the country,
and with shrewd business tnen who arc alive
to good opportunities and whase quick eyes
will soon discover the great advantages offer

i THE POOR llwsi muddle is getting. as
the dutchman expressed it, no much better

are not to he held responsible, if anybody
can sell the county a new property he must
not lose and if anybody buys the present
I riperty he will he sure not to lose by pay"
ing any exorbitant (mice, but the county, the
taxpayers, must make good everybody's losses
and foot ali the extravagant hills ol officers,
who are to be freed from personal liability by
an act of the Legislature. Truly * pretty
kettle of fi-h is brewing, under, pure demo

OcTtt hi tors. — IV o learn that a crirre of the
moat malignant type was committed in
FayttteviHe, on Saturday night last. Some
villain or villains entered the Union t-luirch,
io that place, and completely demolished the
ehandeliets and lamps, with a single excep
tion of r in lamp, that inoet probably escaped
notice. They first succeeded in tearing the in
from their fastenings, dashed them to the
lloor, and from tho appearance of several
burners, actually trampled upon litem. The
bible, a very large and costly edition, hut
lately placid on the pulpit, wag thrown down
and trampled. Ihe oil fiom the broken
lumps was strewn over the lloor. Every ex
ertion should he made, n-d we have no doubt
will, to ferret out the guilty parties, and we
sincerely hope for the good of the community
that the oSorts put forth by the tiii/.etis may
be successful in bringing them to justice.
Crime sepnis to bare become quite prevalent
in our county lately, but wo scarcely believed
that in the community of Fayctteville there
lived a being, so lost lo every manly attribute
—so deeply steeped in crime, as to enter th#
House n! God and thus desecrate it ; what
; the motive was that prompted such a dastardly
j outrage, remains to bs discovered when the
; guihy are arrested, but the general opinion is
I that it h> done, not for revenge, but
i maliciously, and prompted by a spirit of
devilishoess.— Franklin Rrpository.

ir is strange to see with what carelessness
some invalids attend to their health. They
will procure n box of PI.ANTATIOX BITTERS,
which ought to be used up in a month or six
weeks, and upon inquiry it is found that they
have used only two or three bottles. Some
days they have u-eJ it according to the direc
tions, and others have not touched it. The
whole trial has been irregular, and of course
a loss favorable result has come from their
use. If it be true that "what is worth doing
at all is worth doing well," how emphatically
is it true in matters relating to the health. A
few bottles of PLANTATION BITTERS have of
ten wrought wonders, while iu other instances
disease has only been subdued after weeks ox
