Coox HUNTING.— Several parties from town and vicinity went coon hunting one night last week, scouring Evits mountain from Red Ban's to Bedford Springs. The Lext morn ing the steward at the Poor House found 7 or 8 sheep (belonging to the county) lying dead :n the mountain fields, victims of the misera bly trained coon or sheep dog*. THE Turnpike bridge in the narrows is still neglected, and the river is almost impassable. If the Turnpike Company don't intend to put up the bridge their charter should be annull ed. The turnpike from Bedford to Ml. Dal las is rougher now than any country road, and if the company don't put up a bridge promptly we can't see why they Bhould be permitted to collect toll. IT is said that the proprietors of the cele brated PLANTATION BITTERS rent no less than nine pews from the different denominations in New York city for all those of their em ployees who will occupy tiem regularly, free of charge. This is certainly praisewor thy, and it is to be boned that others who employ a large number of people, will follow the example. The above fact, accompanied with the belief that a firm who would look so closely after the morals and welfare of their employees, would not undertake to impose upon the public, has induced us to give the 1 ANTATIOX BITTERS a trial, and having found 'hem to be all that is represented, we cordi- R"y recommend them as a tonic or rare mer 't.—Observer July Ist. REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL— Enthusiastic Meeting. —The Republicans of Bedford Coun ty met in mass meeting, at the court house, on Tuesday evening. A large and enthusiac tic crowd was in attendance. The meeting was organized by calling to the chair Captain G. S. Mullin; David Shaffer of Colerain, Jas. Bowser of Hopewell, A. H. Hull of Union, Wm. Robinson of Monroe, Josiah Penrose of St.. Clair, Samuel Shoup of Liberty, Henry Kiiiard of Broadtop, Levi Hardinger, of Cumberland Valley, and Adam Ketring of South Woodberry, were appointed vice Presi dents and Levi Putt of Liberty, E. Y. Imler of Bedford twp., F. M. Masters ot Bloody Run, and Jacob Evans of Londondarv, Sec retaries. The following resolution was then unanimously passed : Eesoleed, that we cordially approve of the of the Hon. Edward Scull of Som erset, as the Republican candidate of State Senator and we do hereby ratify the action of rhe Conferees and County Committee in our behalf and pledge him the unanimous support of the Republicans of Bedford County. The Hon. T. J. Bigham of Pittsburgh, was then introduced, and for an hour and three quarters held the audience spell bound with his able and eloquent refutation of every po sition of the Packer Democracy. His ex posure of Packer's carpet-bagging exploits, ia order to avoid paying his honest taxes, was most amusing, and at the same time backed up by such incontrovertible proofs that the most ardent Democrat was compelled to ac knowledge that the charge against Packer was most disgraceful to him, and moreover that, bad as it was, there was no doubt of its truth. The whole speech was of the most telling character and dealt sledge hammer blows upon the rotten carcass of Democracy. At the close of the speech the meeting ad journed with a vote of thanks to Mr. Bigham and three cheers for the whole Republican ticket. The Republican Silver Cornet Band was present and entertained the meeting with some of their choicest mnsic. The crowded hoose, the enthusiastic audience and the general interest manifested, promise well for Republicanism in Bedford county at the coming election. AUTUMN. —Wednesday the 22dult., marked the termination ot Summer and the begin ning of Autumn. Already the Maple, Lo enst, Ash and various other trees begin to put on their Autumnal glories of bright yel low, brilliant scarlet and every shade of color from dark green to russet and brown. The wild Aster with its purple disk waves gaily in the woodland pastures and the Golden rod nods its yellow plumes in the Autumnal breeze. The sombre pines in their peren nial verdure, on the mountain side, alone preserve the cheerful green of Summer. Au tumn with her gorgeous hues has set her mark upon every hill side and worked a mosaic of such surpassing beauty as artists pencil may never essay to imitate. All the rich promises of the year are now fulfilled. The golden harvests are gathered in, the ripe luscious fruits hang from the loaded boughs or cumber the bosom of mother earth in rich profusion. The gay blossoms of Spring's promises, nurtured by summer sun sur.shine and shower, have ripened and poured in the lap of Autumn an abundant fruition of all earth's delicious luxuries. Welcome Autumn ! Though poets have sung of your melancholy days, they are of the sad sweet kind that all enjoy, for you bring to us the piomises and hopes of the year fulfilled and realized and promise us good cheer and happy firesides the whole long winter through. A Watch, pair of Blankets, or Shawl for One Dollar appears almost impossible, but such may be had and hundreds of other use fa! articles by patronizing Parker Si Co s., "One Dollar Sale." Their system of doing business has been examined by the authorities and a Decision rendered from the Internal Revenue depart inent at Washington dated Nov. 4lh l&tiS, de claring their business perfectly lair and legit imate and entirely different from the numer ous gift enterprises. Of course all do not get watches, blankets, &c., for one dollar, but in erery large Club, one of these articles are sold for one dollar, as an extra inducement, and some member of the club has the chance of obtaining it. A new feature introduced by this enterprising firm, is to pay their agents in either cash or merchandise and to pre-pay the express charges. No better opportunity can be offered to either Indies or Gentlemen, having leisure time, than to form clubs for this firm. Read their advertisement in another col umn, and send for catalogue. Oct.2:lm. How ARE YOU MAINE !—The Gazette was blowing last week about the Democratic gains in Maine, but as that sheet is addicted to publishing falsehoods prior to an election, in order to influence its party, we give the true state of affairs. The Republican majority is 17,266 and the total rote is 93,829. In 1868 the Republican majority was 19, 342 and the whole vote 129,8G6. Now it is easily seen that the total vote of the State is 36,046 less this year than last. Had the vote been as full this year as last, and the strength of the parties in the same proportion as they now are, the Republican majority would stand 24,- 000, or an increase of about 4000 over last year. As it stands now, the Republican ma jority over the copperheads this year is TWENTY per cent, more than it was in 1868. If the Gazette arithmetician or any other copperhead can cipher any consolation from these statistics he is better drilled in hocus pocus than Republicans or Democrats sup pose him to be. IN A BAH CONDITION. —The Lutheran and Reformed grave yard, which has been used for many years by the Reformed and Luther an congregations of this place and the sur rounding country, is at present in a disgrace ful condition, and should receive immediate attention from those who have friends or re latives buried there. The fences are broken down, and by night and by day, this hallowed spot is a rendevons for all the cattle and hogs that are running at large. If this matter is not speedily attended to, there will be noth ing left to mark the resting place of those who are sleeping silently in the "city of the dead." If those interested would contribute a small amount, either in money or lumber, the place would soon again look as it should. Respect for the memory of the "departed ones" should prompt immediate action. Persons wishing to coutribuie to this laudable object, can do so by calling on Rev. F. Benedict. WHO WANTS A SEWING MACHINE ?—We have a new $55,00 Grover and Baker sewing machine which wc will dispose of on easy terms to any one who wants a good machine: and who does not want a good sewing ma chine ? ALSO a new Singer Sewing Machine for sale as cheap as can be sold in the com munity and on the best of terms. At-so a Seventy five dollar Machine of the American Buttonhole and Overseaining Sewing machine Company's Manufacture on the most favorable terms. Either of the two last named machines can be seen 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. "PRSH trade or it will push you." There is probably no more enterprising House in the country than that of Lawrence D. Ditz A Co., of Baltimore. Importers and dealers in English, French and German Notions and Fancy Goods. They have most certainly poshed trade nntil their immense facilities are known all over the country. We direct attention to their advertisement in to-day's issue. Let I'l Protect Ourselves. The physical structure of the strongest hu man being is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies are endowed by nature with a certain negative power, which protects them, to some extent, from unwholesome influences; but this protection is imperfect, and cannot be safely relied on in unhealthy regions, or un der circumstances of more than ordinary dan ger. Therefore, it is wisdom; it is prudence; it is common sense to provide against such contingencies, by taking an ANTIDOTE IN ADVANCE; in other words, by fortifying the system with HOSTETTEIt'S STOMACH HITTERS—the most complete protective against all the epidemic and endemic maladies that has ever been administered in any country. As a remedy for Dyspepsia, there is no medicine that will compare with it. Whoever suffers the pangs of indigestion, anywhere on the face of the earth where HOSTETTEIt'S STOMACH HITTERS can be procured, does so voluntarily; for, as surety as truth exists, this invaluable TONIC and ALTERATIVE would restore his disordered stomach to a healthy condition. To the nervous it is also especially recommended, and in cases of confirmed constipation it also afTords speedy and permancut relief. In all cases of fever and ague the BIT TERS is more potent than any amount of quinine, while the most dangerous cases of biilious lever yield to its wonderful properties. Those who have tried the medicine will never use another, for any of the ailments which the HOSTETTEII BITTERS professes to subdue. To those who have not made the experiment we cordially recommend an early application of the BITTERS whenever they are stricken by disease of the digestive or gans. ARE YOU REGISTERED?— Let every Repub lican see to it personally that he is registered. Don't depend upon anyone else, but go to the Assessor yourself, and go at once, so that there may be no mistake about it. Natural ized citizens must present their certificates thereof to the Assessor when applying for registration, unless they have been voters iu the district for five consecutive years.
