FIRE IN ALTOONA. —On Thnrsday night of
last week a destructive fire broke out iu
Altoona, Blair County. Seventeen dwelling
houses wilh a number of stables and other
buildings were consumed. The loss is es
timated at $40,000.00. The fire is supposed
to have been the work of incendiaries.
AN exchange says that "some of the
Democratic tax collectors in Schuylkill county
are heavy defaulters and are skedaddling."
N.thing strange in that! It is one ot the
great fundamental Constitutional principles
of Democracy. A very popular loyal Demo
cratic lawyer skedaddled from this county a
few years ago with a large amount of soldier's
bounty and pension money in his pockets.
CAN 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 absolutely true,
and is the most convincing proof of their
wonderful medicinal and health- restoring
qualities. Every family should be supplied
with these Bitters, at whatever cost or trou
ble it may be to obtain them. Be careful that
you get the genuine, aud that you are net im
posed upon by a spurious article.
THE improvements on Juliana street are
under full head way now. The fine weather
the last of last week, and the first of this

on Tuesday, the pavements on the west side
would be complete. The Mengle House is
being remodeled inside and out: two large
circle-head frames with receiving doors have
been put in, in front, during the week. The
house is to have, a new coat of paint and
when finished will more than look cityish.
AN INVALUABLE PREPARATION.—The atten
tion of onr readers is directed to the ad
vertisement of Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart's Pine
Tree Tar Cordial, for the cure of Con
sumption of the Lungs, etc. This invaluable
preparation has met with such an increased
demand during the past few years, that the
proprietor has found it necessary to increase
the facilities for manufacturing, and has now
one of the largest Laboratories in Philadelphia
and has recently removed his sales-rooms to
the large and commodious store. No. 232
North Second Street, Philadelphia. Some
of the largest Patent Medicine dealers in the
United States say the demand for H'ishart's
l'ine Tree Tar Cordial is greater at the
present time than any other Patent Medicine
in this country.
Ntxt week being court week many of our
friends will be in town and we hope they
will not forget the printer. To our many
kind friends and patrons who have called
upon us during several months past and
settled little bills and spoken words of en
couragement and approval of our effort to
furnish them with a good county paper, we
are heartily thankful. To those who are
still in arrears we do not wish to he impor
tunate, but our necessarily heavy outlay
during the past year compels us to ask as
many as can conveniently do so, to call and
settle any old accounts that may be due us as
we have need of money to pay our honest
debts. If each one when he comes to Bed
ford would bring us a new subscriber with
the cash in advance, he would benefit the
Republican party and receive the heartfelt
thanks of the editor.
STRING FLOWERS and singing birds come
together. The birds can be heard every
bright morning and violets, crocuses and
hyacinths have made their appearance in
our gardens. Perfuming the air with their
sweetness, and making bright the earth with
th< ir bennty, they well deserve the care
twinlly bestowed upon them by our fair
:' nus. Speaking of flowers we cannot re
train from asking why we have so few ot
them in our town; and why they are so often
hidden away in back yards or gardens where
none but the owners ever see them Bring
them forward where they cau be seen aud
enjoyed by every passer by. The sight of
them will delight the eyes aud rejoice the
hearts of many, who have not the means or
■acililies to caltivate them for themselves,
and cannot rob you of your enjoyment but
rather increase it by the reflection that you
are able to afford pleasure to others who are
•ass fortunate than youraelf.
CORRESPONDENCE.
SNAKE SPRING TP., April, 19 69.
Mr. Editor. —The subject of the poor house
of the County of Bedford, having be
I eotue a matter of great, interest to
the people of this county within
| the last few years, 1 take the liberty of giving
• my views to the people of this county in
regard to it. In the first place, the dis
graceful and unprofitable ninnner in which
it has been conducted, has won for it, the
disapprobation of nine tenths of the people
of this county, outside of the borough of
Bedford. The report o< W. M. Hall Esq.,
in his investigation into the proceeds nfthe
poor house mill, showed that it did not ex
ceed thirty-five dollars a year over ex
penses. To think that a mill with a good
water power, and so favorably located for
custom, has not produced more than thirtv
?ive dollars a year, is a matter that should
the suspicion of every tax payer of
litis county, in regard to the honesty with
••vhich it ha- been conducted. In view of
~h;s desperate state of things, the Poor
directors made a report to the court, recom
mending that the present poor house
property be sold, and a farm purchased,
which report, was laid before the grand
j jury and approved by them. The grand
ijury have disapproved of the building on
the present property at different times, and
never to my knowledge consented to build
on it. But iu view of all this, the parti -
that have been running this machine, have
disregarded the report of the Poor directors,
the grand jury, the people, and every prin
ciple of justice and right. They have gone
on iu their own way, and have paid seventy
seven dollars for advertising for proposal?
for the new house, and paid seven hundred
dollars for a plan and specifications of the
new house, where any of our best mechanic?
could have given a plan anJ specifications
for ten dollar*; and the mechanics that
would have done the work would have un
derstood it better, and would have saved six
hundred and ninety dollars in that cue
item. Then they contract for the buil
ding of the new house at acost of over thirty
thousand dollars, and the county to
furni-b the brick, at what cost T do not
know, but it is suppose 1, -that the whole
i t of the house would not be less than
forty-five thousand dollars. Now then
could be a house built, that would be fuffi
cicntly large to hold over one hundred pau
pers, and with all the necessary arrange
meuts for every grade and condition of them,
for fifteen thousand dollars, which would
save the couoty about thirty thousand dul
lars, and have a good and substantial bull
ding of brick. Now when this property
ins been so unprofitable, why not purchase
a farm, out in the country, away from the
turnpike,and not he gathering up all the lazy
stragglers that pass the road. There are
quite a number of farm? for sale in the
county. There is a farm in Snake Spring
township, known as the Snyder farm, con
taining one hundred and seventy acres, lime
stone laud, with water and all the natural
advantages, that could bo obtained any
where. It is believed that all ibe bread,
meat and vegetables, that would be consu
med hv the paupers, could be raised on tiii.-
farm one year with another. There are no
buildings on it, which is an advantage, as
there would be no buildings to pay for that
would not answer the purpose; this farm
can be purclia-id for about ten thousand
dollars, and the cost of Tiuilding a house
would be about thirteen thousand dollars,
and a tarn about three thousand dollars; and
one ill )uand dollars for other out buildings.
Now the whole thing, farm, buildings, and
all, would not oust over thirty thousand
dollars. Now if all the necessary buildings
would not cost over twenty thousand dollars
what is the use of putting twenty or twenty
five thousand dollars of the people's money,
into a building in the shape of fashion and
ornament d work, that would te of no
real valui to any bo ly. Would it not be
better to put that money into real estate or
at interest, that the institution might be
come self supporting? For as long as the
institution is supported by taxation, so long
will it he governed by fraud and corruption,
to a greater or le-s extent. Then if the
pre-ent property could not he sold to advan
tage, it could be rented for five years, for
nearly twelve hundred dollars a year, and
be kept in repair, and that, would produce
some of the cash, that would be required for
the support of the paupers.
GEORGF. BLACK BERN,
AURORA BUREAUS. —The finest display of
Aurora Borealis that it has ever been onr
good fortune to witness occurred on Thursday
eveni ig of last week. Early in the evening
an unusual light was seen in the Northern
sky but it was not until about half past nine
o'clock thai the grand display began. From
that time until eleven o'clock the whole Nor
thern half of the sky was the scene of the
most magnificent celestial phenomena. The
points of greatest brilliancy were ia the North
Fist and North West, whence rays of light
varying from bright white tc lurid red were
continually emanating shooting up to
ihe zenith and quickly disappearing only to
be repeated again and again. The most
singular feature cf the display occurred
about a quarter past ten o'clock, when rays
of red and white light suddenly shooting up
to the zenith and separating entirely from the
lower light formed a nucleus immediately
overhead from which rays of light extended
in every direction, while sheets of pale white
light, appearing like tain white clouds,
quivered and flashed back and forth contin
ually. This extraordinary phenomenon con
tinued lor several minutes, when quick as
thought it parted, as though the heavens
themselves were opening, and the whole *ky
was filled with Hashes of red and white light,
fhe sudden, singular and startling breaking
up of this nucleus caused a general dodging
and shrinking ou the part ol the astonished
observers, but finding the sky was not yet
falling, they soon regained their confidence
and continued their observations. This sin
gular phenomenon of the formation of a nu
cleus in mid-heaven front which rays and
Hashes of electric light emanated in every
direction as from a battery, was an enlirely
new feature in Aurora Borealis of which we
have never before evea heard. It was repea
ted several times, but each successive one
was less vivid than the preceding until
they entirely died away and the aurora grad
ually disappeared. The first and most brill
vint seemed to mark the culminating point of
this most brilliant display of nature's fire
works. Below- we give the newspaper reports
j from various parts of the country where the
i display was witnessed.
RICHMOND, April 15.— T0 night at 8 o'clock
a belt of light, about six feet wide, appeared
across the sky from east tc west. It drifted
north, crossing, and to some extent, obscur
ing the moon, and then gathered as a fan
closes, and disappeared. The aurora borealis
is now visablc in the northern horizon. 'Die
population has generally turned out to w it- i
ne-s the phenomena.
IXDIASACOLII, April 15. —The aurora i
borealis was seen here about BP. M. It ap
peared as though light clouds were blown by i
the winds, while to the south a beautiful Imw \
was formed. About 9 P. M. the sky again
lighted up, first at the north and then at the 1
west, and then veered aroaud to the east,
darting out boge sheets of light, which cbao '
ged to a reddish color, and then faded away.
The display lasted about half an hour.
PITTSBURG, April 15. —The telegraph wire.?
iat (his point were seriously affected this
| evening by the aurora current, although ibe
; aurora borealis was not risible in the heavens,
j being probably hidden by smoke.
LOUISVILLE, April 15.—Between the hours
j of 7. 30 and 10 P. XI.. northern lights were
j slightly visible hare, but their effects on the
I telegraph wires were very perceptible, and
j all communication was at limes interrupted.
NEW YORK, April 15. —The most briiliant
auroral display for years took place ibis
evening. The auroral current affected the
wires oast and west, almost suspending
operation-. For a time the current was very
heavy, and the wires to Boston were worked
I with the auroral current alone.
BALTIMORE, April 15.—The entire northern
j hemisphere from east to west, to ihe zenith,
| was brilliantly illuminated by an unusual dis
: play of the aurora to-night. For several
hours fla-hes of pale light have been con
tinuous. At this hour, II P. M. the light
has almost entirely disappeared.

Do not Trifle with Danger.
A single spark may kindle a Itaine that will eon
sume a city, and small ailments neglected, niiiy
end in fatal disorders. Rearing this fact in mind,
let the fir.-i symptom- <.f debility or nervous pros
tration be met promptly with invigorating treat
ment. Foremost among the vegetable tonics of
the age stands HOSTE I'TKR'S STOMACH BIT
TKIvS, and whenever the vital powers sc;-m to
languish, or then is any reason to suspect that
the animal functions essential to the eustenalion
and pnrUiestiots of 18,. E„<ly •>-. i 1.1 |x>r'"-i-.'Ij- j„. r .
formed, this invaluable invigorant and antiseptic
should at once ' e re-orte i to. Indigestion always
products weakness of (bebodily powers. Some
time- it happens that ibe appetite dcoiands more
food than the stomach can digeet; though not
more, perhaps, than is required to keep up Ihe
full strength of the frame. The object, under eueii
cin emstances, is to increase the digestive capaci
ty of the assimilating organ, so ns to make it
equal to the duty imposed upon it by the appetite,
and capable of supplying the bniUti uj material of
the*y*lcm as fast as it is required. This ohject is
fully accomplished by the urc of the Bitters. They
tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane
which secretes the ga-tric juice, and the result is
that the solvent is mingled with the food in suffi
eien' quantity t > cmive-t all its nourishing parti
cles into pure and wholesome element. If, on the
other hand, there is a deficiency of appetite, with
out any correspondent deficiency of digestive puw
cr. the effect of the tonic is to stimulate a desire
of food. In nineteen esses out of twenty, head
ache. nausea, nervousness, fainting-fits, spasms,
and, ind ed, most of the casual aches and pains '
to which humanity is subject, proceed primarily
from indigestion complicated with biiiousucss:
and for both these complaints lIOSTETTER'S
STOMACH HITTERS are recommended as a
speedy and certain remedy.
