The wheat iu this county is also reported as in a flourishing condition. Rye does not promise so well, and in some localities it seems likely to prove almost an entire failure. LET everybody remember that they can buy Bibles, Hymn books, and religions books, in fact books of all kind cheaper at the IN QUIRER Book Store than anywhere in the county and much cheaper than of any travelling agents. All kinds of books fur nished to order on short notice at city retail prices. OUR friend Abm. llerman esq., is still in the Tin business at bis old stand on Juliana street, and is prepared to do all kinds of work in his line, on the shortest notice and on reasonable terns. Seeing our old dilapidat ed basin the day we mowed, and knowing the necessity of that article among typos he re placed it with a new one for which we most re spectfully tip our tops. Ran ROAD MEETING. —A railroad meeting will be held in the Court house on Tuesday of Court week the 27th inst at 4 o'clock P. M.

Come with your minds made up to subscribe to the utmost limit of your ability and we will soon have a road. 2t- CLEAN rp.—We obserTe the borough au tborities bare notified our citizens to clean up their premises, sinks, alleys, backyards, eel lars. Arc., A timely notice by the way, as there are many, who seem to forget these things unless remirded by the authorities. These things are necessary to the health and comfort of our people and we hope they will give them prompt attention. THE weather of lust week was quite favora ble for our farmers and they have diligently improved it in getting in their oats and other spring crops. Monday of thi* op*r>d bright and clear, but clouded over in the alternoon and in the evening we were treated to a genuine April snow storm. Tuesday morning the mountains were white with snow and everything wore a wintry aspect. The eather lias since moderated and there are indications of moderate weather. AN EXPLANATION. —In order that no one msy be misled through an article which ap peared in the local columns last week entitled ''Horrible Murder" Ac., we deem it proper to make an explanation— Dash McCauslin of course was a dog, and came to bis death at the hands of Samuel Boher. The cruel affair, caused considerable excitement in Bedford for a while, particularly among the canine friends. The description of the affair, was the work of the Local, without the knowledge of the Editor. FIRE IS BROAD TOP TOWNSHIP. —The home of Mr. Thomas Rodgers in Broad Top town ship caught fire from a stove pipe and burned to the ground. The fire occurred in the day time and Mr. Rodgers being from home and his wife and two small children were the only persons present and before the alarm could be given to the neighbors the building with all its contents was consumed. By this sad misfortune Mr. Rodgers loses all his hard earned savings of several years and is obliged to begin life anew. He lias the sincere sympathy of liis friends and neighbors in his misfortune. WHERE TnEY Go.—The other day, says an exchange, a lady called at the house of a friend, and seeing a couple of not large sized pin cushions lying upon a table, which, upon inquiry, she found had been in use for five years, suggested to the lady of the house that it would he a good idea to rip them open and get the needles. At this the lady laughed, and replied that she thought it would hardly pay; but upon the other insisting that she would find as many as 300. the experiment was finally tried, when, to the astonishment of all, 1, 500 needles were counted out! We don't charge the ladies anything fur this bit of information. THE second meeting, of the series of Tem perance, lectures was held in the Court Room on Tuesday evening April Oth. Win. T.Chap man was called to the chair, and A. J. Hen derson aud Wra. Smith, appointed Vice Pres idents, and W. G. Riffle Secretary. After prayer by ReT. Berkstresser, Rev. Vt m. Gephart entertained the meeting with a telling speech. He was followed by Rev. Hartman of Al toona, State Lecturer of the I. O. of Good ! emplars. in one of his valiant speeches, on the cause of Temperance. It is the purpose of the Temperance peo -1 eof this place to hold weekly meetings. All who are favorable to the cause are invited to atlend. TBE VALVE OF A NEWSPAPER. —Our neigh bor, of the Alleghanian thus discoruses on the value of a newspaper. The same reasons apply to the Ixqi'lßKß. One day last week, a man residing some eight or ten miles out of town entered our office and subscribed for The AUeghatcian for one year, after which, he gave the following voluntary testimony as to the value of a newspaper. He said: "Had I been a subscriber to your paper during the past year, it would have saved me two hundred dollars. An item of news (referring to an item of news connected with our county Courts) was published in your columns some time since, which, had 1 seen, would have saved me the sum men tioned." Reader, are you a regular subscriber to oar paper? Ii not, the time may come when you, too, will be able to sec that you might -e saved two hundred dollars, or more by an investment of two dollars in The Allegha man. RETORT OF THE BORDER CLAIM COMMIS SIONERS. —The following is the report of the Border Claim Commissioners to the Auditor General : To Hon. John F. Hartranft, Auditor Gen eral of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The undersigned, commissioners appointed bj the Governor under the act of Assembly, approved the 9tb day of April, 1868, to assess the damages sustained by the citizens of the counties of Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Bed ford, York, Perry and Cumberland, in the l*te war, by the Union and rebel troops, re spectfully present: That we organized on the 2d day of June, and appointed M. W. M'Alarney oor clerk (who proved to be very efficient), and having first been sworn to perform our duties with impartiality and fidelity, ar.d having given the notice required by the act of the times and places of our meetings, we visited all the counties therein named, and held sessions at Newport, in the county of Perry, at Bedford, in Bedford county, at M'Connelsburg, in Fulton county, at Chambersburg, Waynes boro,' Grecncastle and Mercersburg, in the county of Franklin, at Carlisle and Shippens burg, in Cumberland connty, at Gettysburg, in Adams county, and at York, Hanover and Dillsburg, in York county. The total uum ber of claims presented the commissioners was four thousand three hundred and five, be sides some few presented by corporations, which we were forbidden to entertain by the act of Assembly. The time occupied and la bor required by the commission and their clerk in the assessment of damages, was much greaier and more onerous than they had any idea of when they commenced. Besides the meetings in the different counties named, we held a number of sessions in Harrisburg, to examine and adjust the claims presented to us. We have set forth in the book in which ibis report is made, and which is made part of it, a detailed statement of the claims pre sented by the citizens in the respective couu ties, the losses sustained through the Union and rebel armies, and whether such losses were in real or personal estate, and the amount by each and to each. We also present each claim separately, and the proof furnished by the respective claimants. By these it will appear the total amount of losses as claimed to have been sustained by the citizens in said counties, amounts to the sum of .jue million eight hundred and twenty one thousand and thirty-one dollars and four cents, and the amount allowed is one million six hundred and ninety three thousand three hundred and fifty-one dollars and fifty-two cents. These losses are divided among the counties as follows : Perry county Damages by Union troops to real estate, $1,51."' 00, and to personal (.roperty, $1,223 80; and by rebel troops to persoual property, i'iO 00. Total amount to real and personal in Perry county, $2,808 00, of which $2,040 40 is allowed. Bedford county—Damages by Union troops to real property, $l9B 00; to personal; $5,- 025 19. Damages by rebels to real property, SSOO 00; to personal, $2,031 25. Total amount claimed, $7,180 23; allowed, $7,126- 23. Fulton county —Damages by Union troops to real estate, $420,00; to personal property, $1,898 00. Damages by rebels to real pro perty, $1,389 25; to personal, $50,714 07. Total amount claimed, $54.421 32: allowed, $45,600 57. Cumberland County—Damages by Union troops to real property, $22,197 22; to per sonal, $28,873 73. Damages by rebels to real property, SIO,BBI 80; to personal, $170,- 855 5-3. Total amount claimed, $238,-100 02: allowed, $210,724 40. Adams county —Damages by Union troops to real property, $44,728 20; to personal, $35,982 41. Damages by rebels to real, $117,070 87; to personal $352, 378 00. Total amount claiired, $552,393 97; allowed, *507, 797 37. York county—Damages by Union troops to real property, $1,330 30; to personal, $5,- 909 12. Damages by rebels to real, $7,832 48; to personal. $112,630 57. Total amount claimed, $127,668 55: allowed, $124,728 50. Franklin county—Damag"s hv Union troops to real property, $3,122 22; to person al, $19,631 28. Damages by rebels to real, $22,789 94; to personal, $793 854 79. Total amount claimed, $838,162 18: allowed, S7BB - 99. In some of these claims presented for dam ages to real estate, we fir.d damages claimed lor the destruction of fences and the growing crops, and in addition damages claimed fur the passing of the armie3 over the fields in which the crops were growing. This we have not .allowed, as it appears to us in a measure at.least, duplicating the damage. We also found iu many instances in the same locality different values put upon staple articles by the different claimants, and we have en deavored to make them a uniform piice in the same locality, and as nearly as we could as ecuniii, uie regular mantel prices. Some ot the damages claimed for use of barn 3, Ac., for hospitals, were manifestly excessive and we have in such cases reduced the amount. All which is respectfully submitted. D. W. WOODS, A. S. ELY, W. S. WOODS, Commissioners. GIVE YOUR CRIED A LOCAL PAPER. —A child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because be reads the names of persons and things which are very familiar, and will make progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter's schooling to a child, and every father must consider that substantial information is con nected with advancement. The mother of a family, being one of the heads and having a more immediate charge of children, should herself be instructed. A mind occupied be comes fortified against the ills of life and is braced against any emergency. Children, amused liy reading or studying, are of course more considerate and more easily governed. How many parents who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their families would have given hundreds to reclaim a son or daughter who bad ignorantly or thought lessly fallen into temptation.— Exchange. THE NEW POOR HOUSE.—A bill was passed by the Legislature last week legalizing the contract made by the Commissioners with Mr. J. J. Shoemaker for building a new poor house, but requiring the building to be erected on the ground originally selected by the architect. As we predicted the county pays the piper in this case to the amount of four or five thousand dollars, money ex pended by the commissioners in digging a foundation, and hauling stone for the same, in a swamp. We seem likely now to get a new building, which is badly needed, but if the work goes on at this rate the cost will be a sum fearful to contemplate. Let us hope lor the best, for even that is sure to be bad enough. NEW \ORK, October 13, 1867. DEAR SIR: —lt is with much pleasure that I say to you that I consider the PLANTATION- BITTERS of untold value. In the fall of 1867 I was taken with Chills aud Fever, with the most severe pains in my chest and head. It was with great difficulty that I coald breathe. My lungs were greatly distressed, and there was severe pain in my right side, by spells. I could hardly get up from my bed. I called a Doctor, who attended me all winter without the least benefit. About the first of Angust I j commenced usiog your PLANTATION BITTERS J —a wine glass full three times a day—and I ' have used it most of the time since, and I am j now well and strong, able to do all my own ! work and the care of a large family.

It contains a number of able articles, the most readable of which is perbapstkc "Realities of Irish Life." The article of deepest interest to the Ameri can mind, is "Politics as aProfession" which, though written entirely from an English stand poiut, ably discusses the difficulties that be set the path to political prelermant and that keep so many of our ablest, best and purest men entirely out of the political arena, aud give the places of honor responsibility and trust to truckling, buying and selling dema gogues, instead of to men whose highest am bition would be to serve their country well and faithfully, and whoso chief reward would be their country's honor n-t rmso—lt,-. h,,t to whom, on account cf their moral integrity and their unwillingness to sacrifice principle for place, every avenue to public office is closed. The whole article is one well worthy the careful study of all who feel a desire to elevate the political arena from the tnire and filth that now make it a stench in the nostrils of the better portion of our people, and place it upon a basis where it will be open to the best and noblest men of the land, and where they can enter it without the sacrifice of principle, or truckling to ignorance and preju dice. To all such, we heartily commend this article. This number completes the one hun dred and twenty-fifth volume of the Review.

A single spark may kindle a that will con sume a city, and small ailments neglected, may end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in mind, let the first symptom of debility or nervous pros tration be met promptly with invigorating treat meat. Foremost among the vegetable tonics of the ago stands HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS, and whenever the vital powers serin to languish, or (here is any reason to suspect that the animal functions essential to the sustcnation aru purification of the body are imperfectly per formed, this invaluable inrigorant and antiseptic should at oneo Ire resorted to. Indigestion always produces weakness of the bodily powers. Some times it happens that ihq ajv'iv demands more food than the stomach can digest; lb jgb not more, perhaps, than is required to keep up the full strength of the frame. The object, under such circumstances, is to increase the digestive capaci ty of the assimilating organ, so as to make it equal to the duty imposed unou it by the appetite, and capable of supplying the huildiny n nUrial of tie tytlen as fast ns it is required. This object is fully accomplished by the use of the Bitters. Tlicy tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane which secretes the gastric juice, and the rosult is that the solvent is mingled with the food in stiEE eien' quantity t > conve-t all its nourishing parti cles into pure an 1 wholesome element. If, on the other band, there is a deficiency of appetite, with out any correspondent dcflScicncy of digestive pow er, the clfcct of the tonic is to stimulate a desire of food. In nineteen eases out of twenty, head ache, nausea, nervousness, fainting-fits, spasms, aad, indeed, most of the casual aches and pains lo which humanity is subject, proceed primarily from indigestion complicated with biliousness ; and for both these complaints HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are recommended as a sperdy and certain remedy.
