DOXT FAIL to read the proceedings of the
Bail road meeting. Now is the time to put
our shoulders to the wheel and push along
the car of progress. An earnest, vigorous
effort now will ensure the success of our rail
road project and restore to Bedford her old
time prosperity.
WE call attention to the "Card ' of E. O.
Thompson, Merchant Tailor, 908 Walnut St.
Philadelphia. We are informed that the fine
workmanship and desirable styles of bis
Clothing suit every customer, and that the
most fastidious are especially pleased with
his mode of Pantaloon Cutting, which is an
nounced as a specialty of his Establishment.
DAHAGEP BT FROST.— We learn that the
frost in the early part of last week did con
Liderable damage in parts of Middle and
South Woodbcrry and Cumberland Valley
ownships. Corn and garden vegetables
grapes Ac., were injured to a greater or less
extent. In this vicinity damage was pre
vented by the prevalence of dense fogs.
AT HOME. —Dr. A. C. Vaughn dropped in
to our office a day or two ago while at hotne
or. a visit. He is as genial as of old and
seems to be enjoying the fresh air and free
dom ot the country. He is engaged in manu
facturing and introducing to the public his
various inventions. May success ever attend
him.
St PPES DEATH. —Mr. John Ramsey of
Bloody Run died very suddenly on Monday
last. He was in his usual health and bad
gone with a friend to visit his neighbor, Mr.
Kbbert and had been in the house but a short
time when it was observed that he was nn
well and some one ran to his assistance but
he expired in a few miautes.
BAXS St srENSios.—The banking house of
'' E. Shannon, suspended payment on Fri
day last. The suspension created considers
■ excitement for a few days, but it baa now
Jf the most part subsided. It is presumed,
' 'hose conversant with the affairs of the
a fk, that the assets wili be sufficient to
rauet all liabilities and that no one will lose
*ny money thereby.
RAILROAD MEETING. —On Wednesday even
ing of last week, the Court House was well
filled by an audience who had come thither,
pursuant to previous notice, to listen to ad
dresses on the subject of a railroad for Bed
ford, to connect with some route already sur
veved.
| On motion, the meeting was organized by
the appointment of Hon. S. L. Russell, Pres
ident, Hon. George W. Gamp and Dr. Geo.
Anderson, Vice-Presidents, and M. A.
Points, Esq., and Geo. H. Mengel, Secreta
ries.
Hon. A. King then proceeded to address
the meeting, and after a short, felicitous ad
dress, which was attentively listened to, he
introduced as the orator of the evening, Col.
James Worrall, of Harrisburg, who is dis
tinguished throughout the country for the
eminent part which he has borne in ptomo
ting the interests of Railroads. In a graphic
manner he portrayed our present isolation
and the backward, antiquated state of Bed
for. He declared the route proposed by him,
to lead from Harrisburg to connect with the
Connellsville Railroad, was a better route
than that of the Pennsylvania Railroad:
while Bedford enjoys all the advantages of
position and natural wealth, yet she is in
statu quo, and might as well be at the North
Pole, for her energies really seem frozen up.
He offered himself to incur the preliminary
expense of surveying, engineering and ar
ranging the first details incident to building a
road.
i Hon. D. Watson Rowe, Assistant Law
i Judge of this Judicial District, thcu eloquent
jiy addressed the meeting. He contrasted his
j home, Greencastle, with Bedford, and show
ed how steam had dispelled the Rip Van
Winkle sleep of his region and breathed life
j and vigor into every business interest. That
| if we should get a through Railroad, Bedtord
Springs would rival the celebrated Springs of
Vicby and Baden Baden.
On motion, a Committee, with two books,
was appointed by the President, to receive
subscriptions—one from Bedford to Mt. Dal
las and one from Bedford to Bridgeport.
Ou motion, the proceedings ol the meeting
were directed to be published in the papers of
this county.
On motion, adjourned.

POOR House MEETlNG.— Pursuant to the
call of a number of citizens opposed to build
ing on the present Poor House property, a
meeting was held in the Grand Jury Room on
Wednesday evening of last week and the fol
lowing resolutions were passed.
1. Resolred by the tax payers of Bedford
County, in Mass Meeting assembled, that we
are opposed to the building of an expensive
Poor House, on the present Poor House
property, that we believe the said property
to be unsuitable for the purpose of a Poor
House, and that the same ought to be sold,
and a suitable property be purchased, ou
which a comfortable, plaia and comparative
ly inexpensive building should be erected.
2. Resolved, that we know of no way to
carry out our wishes except by nominating
candidates for county Commissioners and
Poor Director, without respect to party who
will pledge themselves to our view.
3. Resolved, that we do hereby nominate
Samuel Shafer of Union twp., for County
Commissioner, and Henry Moses of Bedford
twp., for Poor Director, as an independent
ticket.
4. Resolved, that Wm. Cheneworth, P. H.
Shires and Thomas Hughes, be a committee
of three to inform the candidates of their
selection and to ascertain if they accept the
nominations and will pledge themselves to
carry out our wishes.
5. Resolred, that we hereby recommend
to the incoming Legislature the appointment
of commissioners, for the sale of the present
Poor House property, and the buying of an
other.
WHO WANTS A SEWING MACHINE ?—We
have a new $55,00 Grover and Baker sewing
machine which we 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.
ALSO a Seventy-five dollar Machine of the
American Buttonhole and Overseaming
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.
"PCSH 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
pushed trade until their immense facilities
are known all over the country. We direct
attention to their advertisement in to day's
issue.
A Watch, pair of Blankets, or Shawl for
One Dollar appears almost impossible, but
such may be had and hundreds of other use
ful articles by patronizing Parker A 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
ment at Washington dated Nov. 4th 1868, de
claring their business perfectly fair and legit
imate and entirely different from the numer
ous gift enterprises. Of course all do not get
watches, blankets, Ac., for one dollar, but in
every 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 Ladies or Gentlemen,
having leisure time, than to form clubs for
this firm.
Read their advertisement in another col
umn. and send for catalogue. 0c1.2:1m.
PREVENTION IS BBTTEU THAN CLAE. —The
rapidly increasing sale, unprecedented popu
larity and beneficient and lasting results of
the Constitution Bitters, are alike subjects of
comment and astonishment. Mild and cer
tain in their action on the animal economy,
prompt in operation, producing none of the
ill effects incident to Bitters generally vended.
For the prevention and mitigation of sea
sickness they are pleasingly adapted. For
counteracting the deleterious effects resulting
from a change of water and for irregular diet
they are unsurpassed. They are the antidote
for those deraneements consequent upon the
inhalations and surroundings of the pestifer
ous exhalations of miasma arising from the
swamps, morasses and turbid waters of the
West, which contain so large a percentage of
putrescent and decaying auimal and particu
larly vegetable substances. They are sold
by all druggists.
What the people want, Seward's Cough
Cure.
A RUNAW AY VELOCIPEDE.— At the Altoona
Fair last week one of the chief objects of at
traction was a steam velocipede. When
brought upon the course it seems this
singular piece of locomotive mechanism be
came unmanageable and ran off with the
man who undertook to ride it, throwing hira
to the ground and indicting serious injury.
We have heard of velocipedes becoming un
manageable BDd flooring their riders in a
style much more entertaining to lookers on
than to the riders, but this is the first in
stance in which we have heard of one run
ning off with its rider. That velocipede
needs looking after.
CORRESPONDENCE.
STOKERBTOWH OCT. 4th, 1850.
EDITOR INQUIRER :
"Great Mass Meeting in Stonerstown—Demo
cratic rally, Mr. Pershing and other eminent
speakers to be present."
The above was the inscription which we
noticed in blazing characters placed in the
town and country around. We must confess
that we were somewhat delighted with the
idea of hearing some eminent speakers of
that faction once in onr own town. It would
have been a rare treat. Tne time for speak
ing arrived, all the prominent democrats of
the country had arrived, six in number, all
aglow. The hill upon which the old school
house stands was ascended, our worthy old
squire leading the van, (he will have to lead
the same van up Salt river after Tuesday
next). On the way all the stores, shops and
private dwellings were canvassed, pleading
for all, both great and small to turn out; and
verily we believe they did turn out, for in num
bering the entire assemblage we found as fol
lows: twelve boys, nine republicans and
twenty-one democrats, speakers included.
Speakers were called—B. F. Myers repre
senting Mr. Pershing, made one of those tell
ing speeches which characterized him during
our country's struggle for freedom. We pre
sume of course that Mr. Dickerson wa3 the
"other eminent, speakers" as he was all that
was present. Mr. Dickerson confined him j
self to obnoxious law, Ac., but never once i
intimated to his hearers the cancellation of:
eight millions of our State Debt under those j
obnoxious laws. Poor B. F., we felt for !
him; he plead like a hungry kitten for a
crumb of bread, to just try us once and see
what we will do. Oh !B. F., you are a little
too soon, we have not yet forgotten what you
did do, and to know what you are doing now,
we need only look at the financial condition
of our own county—we have a fine specimen
of democratic power at home —we have had
sufficient, we want no more. K.
A CARD.
When I returned after a short absence, I
was met by kind friends who said that the re
port was all around Bedford, that "Shannon
was broke up and run off" Ac., A.,
I was happy to find myself a living contra
diction of the story, and to find my property
all standing in its accustomed place.
I owe some money and intend to pay it.
I do not owe those who have found it pleas
ant to do the most talking.
If I had been disposed to give up or break ;
up, I might have pocketed enough by this
time to have made a fashionable break ; but
it is not my style.
The last dollar will employed in paying the I
last cent of indebtedness with a well ground
ed hope of $30,000 or $40,000 left with any
kind of good luck.

THE Adjourned Court of last week was
sparsely attended. But few persons were
present beside Jurymen, Attorneys, clients
and witnesses. But little business was trans- 1
acted though the Court continued in session j
until Saturday noon. Hon. Judge Rowe pre- j
i ded. The following cases were tried:

THE Kewble Furnace at Riddlesburg is !
proving successful beyond the most sanguine '
expectations of the proprietors. A new stack
is to be built next year which will double the '
capacity of the furnace. Give us a railroad
to Bedford and in a few years we will have
similar works in the vicinity of Bedford. It 1
is the only way to make our courny pros
perous. We must build railroads and devel
op our mineral wealth. Wheu we do tbis •
the money will begin to return to us which
for generations has been sent away to enrich
other and more enterprising communities, j
It is with the people of Bedford to say !
whether this, much wished for, prosperity
shail be attained in the next year or two or ;
whether they will leave it for another :
generation.
THE laßguage of nature and experience
demonstrates that whoever would enjoy the
pleasure of food, the beauties of landscape,
the joys of companionship, the riches of lit
erature, or the honors of station and renown,
must preserve their health. The effect of
foul, injurious food, entering the stomach, is
to derange the digestive organs and produce
headache, loss of appetite, unrefreshing sleep,
low spirits, feverish burnings, etc., which are
the symptoms of that horrid disease, Dyspep
sia, which assumes a thousand shapes, and
points toward a miserable life and premature
decay. PLANTATION BITTERS will prevent,
overcome and counteract all of these effects.
They act with unerring power, and are taken
with the pleasure of a beverage.
THE W EATnEit. —The latter part of last
week was as fine as could be desired; clear
and bright and pleasantly cool, everybody was
delighted with it. Saturday evening witness
ed a change to clouds and a brisk rain which
continued to fall iu gentle showers until Sua
i day uight. The rain has done a vast amount
of good, swelling the streams and starting
the springs that had failed daring the dry
weather, besides greatly benefiting the pas
tures and Fall grain. Since Monday morn
ing the weather has been variable, changing
frequently and alternating from, cool, dark,
cloudy |weather, with showers, to clear,
bright, warm sunshine : the usual concomi
tants of early Autumn.
REDUCTION OF TELEGRAPH RATES.—WE are
informed by the Agent of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, that they have made a
reduction of about 25 per cent, on their old
rates. This is a liberal response to the
present demand for cheaper telegraphing,
and the company deserves credit for its
prompt and liberal action in this particular.
Let othsr companies follow the example set
them by the Union Telegraph Company and
the public will appreciate their action by
increaed patronage.
ARE YOU REGISTERED ?—Let every Repub
lican see to it jtcrsonally that he is registered.
Don't depend upon any one 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 in
the district for five consecutive years.
MAGNOLIA WATER. —Superior to the best
imported German Cologne, and sold at hal
tha price. tf.
Let Hi 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. Theretore, it is wisdom; it is prudence;
it is common sense to provide against such
contingencies, by taking an AXTIDOTE IS
ADVANCE; in other words, by fortifying the
system with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS—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 lace of the earth where
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS cn
be procured, does so voluntarily; for, as
surely as truth exists, this invaluable TVSIO
and ALTERATIVE would restore his disordered
stomach to a healthy condition. Tj the
nervous it is also especially recommended,
aud in cases of confirmed constipation it also
affords speedy and permanent relief.
In all cases of fever and ague tne BIT
: TERS is more potent than any anount of
j quinine, while the most dangerous cases of
1 billious lever yield to its wonderful properties.
; Those who have tried the medicine will never
; use another, for any of the ailaents which
j the HOSTETTER 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.
THOSE who have an itching head should
use Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Reneicer
to stop it.
