THE sidewalks on east Juliana street are

IRON CITY COLLEGE. —The course of study
and business training pursued at this popular
Business College has the unqualified approval
of business men in all parts of the country,

cular, to be had on addressing the principals,
Smith A Cowley, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Seward A Bentley, Druggists, of Buffalo,
are putting up a splendid Hair Restorative,
known as Alisma. We have tried it and
speak from experience, and would recom
mend it to all who are in need ot a Hair Re
newer. — Xtmda Xeirs.
What the people will have, Seward's Cough
Cure.
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.
Go to the INQUIRER Book Store far station

BARNUM KEDIVIYCS. —We arc just in re
ceipt of the advance sheets of a new Book by
Barnum, entitled "Struggles and Triumphs;
or Forty Years Recollections," by P. T.
Barnum. He proposes to give a complete

life, and being written by himself it will be a
thoughtful and unique work. In addition to
this, the work contains his celebrated lecture
(carefully revised) on the "Art of Money-
Getting,"' with the "Rule 3 for Success in
Business." This lecture alone is worth to
every reader far more than the subscription
price of the book. The different chapters
are replete with bnraor, anecdote, and most
entertaining narrative. The work is ex
pensively illustrated with spirited engravings
in the best style of the art. To those who
desire to know something of the public career

anxious to succeed in business and in life, to
old men, wbo like the author have done their
woik, and to all who wish to read a book
fresh and spirited on every page, this offers
entertainment and instruction beyond any of
the recent issues of the press. The work will
