YE ancient borough of Somerset is excited
on the subject of a branch railroad to connect
with the Pittsburg and Connellsville some 9
or 10 miles south of the town. A meetine
has been called for the 22nd inst., with a
view to the furtherance of the enterprise.
Push on friends, Providence helps those who
help themselves.
MB. JOHN BLYMYER, who has been wooing
fickle fortune's favor in the town of Someiset

hale and hearty and expresses bimself a*
highly pleased with his new home among the
hospitable citizens of Somerset. Good luck
to ye John !
THE first of the series of Temperance lec
tures came off on Monday evening. The ad
dress was delivered by Rev. Thomas Heyden
ol this place, to a crowded house, whose ap
preciation of the able discourse delivered on
the occasion was best attested by the extra
ordinary good order that prevailed and the
marked attention with which it was received.
The second lecture of the course will be
delivered on next Monday evening, ir. the
Court House, by Rev. H. Heckerman.
GOOD ADVICE. —Let our possessions be
what they may —marble palaces, broad lands,
magnificent plate, or casket of "precious
stones"—they all sink in the balance against
Heaven's great boon, HEALTH, and they
canuct be enjoyed without it. And yet how
little is it valued, and how carelessly pre
served. The laws of nature cannot be viola
ted with impunity. Night revelry, luxurious
living, irregularity of meals, and a disordered
appetite, will gradually destroy the power
and activity of the stomach. How many la
dies and gentlemen eat and drink disease at
late suppers, and arise in the morning with
headache, loss of appetite, feeling languid
and unrefreshed. There can be no medical
remedy that will turn lead into food, or pois
oned drinks into nutriment, but medical
science can assist nature, supply exhausted
fluids, and to a great extcat correct the effects
of disease. In all cases such as the above,
WE recommend PLANTATION BITTERS. Yon
will find them just the thing—at the same
time a most delicious tonic and appetizer.
OUR RAILROAD PROSPRCT.—A deep inter
est has been felt for some time in the pros
pect of the completion of the railroad front
MT. Dallas to Bedford. Various conflicting
and unsatisfactory report* hare been set afloat
at different limes and we hare been frequent
ly interrogated as to their truth. Ihe tacts
of the case are simply these: Recent in
vestigations have shown that we have some
of the most valuable iron ores :n the state
and that they lie immediataly along the line
of the railroad from Mt. Dallas to the con
nection with the Pittsburgh and Cot.nellsville
railroad at Bridgeport. This deposit of ore
is immediately around Bedford and just mid
way between the Broadtop and Somerset coal
fields. This fact being brought to the attention
of capitalists, connected with the extraordi
nary success of the Kembie Furnace at Rid
dlesburg, has induced several parties to lease
a large quantity of the ore lands. A railroad
to Bedford or to Mann's Choice, a point
seven miles west of Bedford, is necessary to
the working of these ores. If it is built fur
naces will at once be erected along the line
of the road. The building of this road would
largely increase the traffic of the Huntingdon
and Broadtop railroad. Their interests
therefore being mutual, the owners of the ore
lands and the Broadtop Railroad Company
have been considering propriety and
feasibility of building the road at once. Here
the matter stands at present. Nothing defi
nite has yet been determined upon. The
prospect is favorable, and the road may be
put under contract in the Spring, but there
is, as yet, no certainty. Thus the case stands
to-day. A definite conclusion will be arrived
at, at an early day. Whether our citizens
will be asked to lend a helping hand or not,
we are unable to say, but if they are we hope
they will come up to the work and give it all
the aid in their power. We will endeavor to
keep our readers posted whenever any im
portant action is taken upon the subject.
GOVERNOR GEARY OX INSURANCE. —Read
what John W. Geary says in bis third annual
message:
Insurance Department.
In two former communications your atten
tion was called to the importance of estab
lishing in the State an insurance department
similar to those existing in other States.
But the Legislature has thus far failed to give
the subject that consideration which interests
of such magnitude to the people seem to de
mand. Insurance departments in some of
the States are regarded of paramount impor
tance, as they effectually guard the interests
of th 6 insured, and through their healthy in
fluence frauds and spurious companies, so
common in Pennsylvania, are rendered al
most impossible. The greatest benefits would
certainly accrue both to the companies and
policy holders as has already been demonstra
ted in the States of New York and Massachu
setts, where the subject of insurance has re
ceived the most careful study and attention,
and been reduced to a science which com
mands the approbation and confidence of all
who seek its protection. The necessity tor
such a department, with full powers to organ
ize and examine all insurance companies, is
sanctioned by the wisdom of experience.
And as I have heretofore remarked, the re
sult of the protection thus afforded, is, that
whilst foreign companies do an immense busi
ness in this State, so little confidence is had
in those of Pennsylvania that their business
is almost entirely confined within the Slate
i limits; and even here foreign companies
i maintain an ascendency. To this same de
fect is attributable the operations of the num
| ber of worthless companies that have sudden
! ly sprung into existence without any solid
basis, and as suddenly expired to kfce injury
of those whose confidence they obtained,
and to the dishonor of the Commonwealth.
Every word of the above is true. Shall we
add anything to what tbe Governor has so
well said? If not, then all you have to do is
to insure in the NIAGARA of New York or the
JVTSA of Hartford, Conn. Apply to the
Bedford agency, M. A POINTS.
ECLIPSES IN 1870.—The six eclipses of the
year will occur as follows :
The first is a total eclipse of the moon on
the morning of Jan. 17, visible in Asia, Eu
rope and tbe western part of North America. :
In the region of California and the interior j
of Oregon the moon will set totally eclipsed
on the morning of the 17th at about sunrise.
Neap the coast in Northern California, Ore
gon and Washington Territory the total phase
passes off before the moon sets. In Missouri.
lowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska the
moon sets partially eclipsed.
A partial eclipse of the sun takes place on
the 31st of January, but visible only in the
Antarctic regions.
Another of the sun takes place June 28, j
but is not visible in America. It can be seen
only in the Southern Pacific ocean cast of
Australia.
A tolal eclipse of the moon will occur July
12, also invisible in the United States. Along
the eastern extremity of South America, and
of North America, at Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Newfoundland, on the Atlan
tic Ocean, in Europe and Asia the eclipse will
be visible. It will be a partial eclipse on the
northeast coast of the British provinces at
the time of the moon's rising. At Greewich, j
England, the first contact with penumbra oc
curs at 7:46 p. m., and the last at 1:22 a. m.,
on the morning of the 13th.
A slight partial eclipse of the sun visible
only in the Arctic regions, takes place July
28th.
There will be a total eclipse of the sun on
December 28. The line of total obscuration
runs through Southern Spain, Algiers, Sicily,
Greece, Turkey and into Russia. It is visi
ble as a partial eclipse at Greenwich. Liver
pool, Edinburgh, Dublin and other important
places in Europe.
PERSONAL LIABILITY. —A New England
court has awarded SI,OOO damages to a man
who slipped on the ice in front of a private
residence. The court held that a person who
allowed ice to lay on his sidewalks, and there
by caused injury to pedestrians, was as much
liable as one who leaves a trap door or other
j dangerous place open for travelers to fall
I through. Perhaps a suit or two for damages
t against persons who allow snow and ice to re
| ta&is on their sidewalks, would caue cleaner
: walks in our town. — Somerset Herald and
Whig.
[ We commend the above to the attention of
a large number of tbe citizens of Bedford.
SWAMPED. —The pub! c schools of tbe bor
ough were closed a part of last week, because
the mud was so deep tbe.t the scholars could
not get to tbe school bouse, without
running tbe risk of sticking fast in the
i mud. The walk from the point where
! John Street crosses Juliana to the Uuion
School house is nearly impassable whenever
Iwe have muddy weather. Surely either tbe
! borough authorities or the school Directors,
must possess the powerand authority t-o make,
or compel tbe property holders to make, a
walk to the school grounds that shall be at
least passable in all kinds of weather. We
hope the matter will receive prompt attention.
NEARLY two years ago the borough council,
through the Chief Burgess, by written eon
| tract agreed with us and several other proper-
I ty holders to turnpike Juliana street, pro
j vided we would lower our pavements and
! re-set our curbing at our owu expense. The
i parties so sgreeing have all performed their
I part of the contract, while the only portion
: of the street left unimproved by the couocil,
| is that where the property holders have been
put to extraordinary expense. Why don't
: the council act in good faith and perform
their part of the contract? Tbe street in
! front of tbe iKqriRER Building and Mengel
j House, for a week past, has been almost im
j passable on account of tbe mud, all the result
| of the bad faith of the couneil in not pet form
ing their part of the agreement.
r
Let Common Sense Decide.
What is the rational mode of procedure in
cases of general debility and nervous pros- j
tration? Does not reason tell us that judicious
stimulation is required. To resort to violent
purgation in such a case is as absurd as it
would be to bleed a starving man. Yet it is
doDe every day. Yet, this stupid and un
philosophical practice is continued in the
teeth of the great fact that physical weakness,
with all the nervous disturbances that ac
company it, is more certainly and rapidiy re
lieved by Hosteller's Stomach Bitters than
by any other medicine at present known. It
's true that general debility is often attended
with torpidity or irregularity of the bowels, ;
and that this symptom must not be over- I
looked. But while Ibe discbarge of the waste
matter of the system is expedited or regu
lated, its rigor must be recruited. The Bit
ters do both. They combine aperient and
anti-bilious properties, with extraordinary
tonic power. Even while removing ob i
structions from the bowels, they ton3and in- j
vigorate those organs. Through the stomach, j
upon which the grest vegetable specific acts
directly, it gives a healthy and permanent iin
petus to every enfeebled function. Digestion
is facilitated, tbe faltering circulation regu
lated, the blood reinforced with a new acces
sion of the alimentary principle, the nerves ;
braced, and all the dormant powers of the j
system roused into healthy action; not
spasmodically, as would be the case if a mere i
stimulant were administered, but for a con- i
tinuance. It is in this way that such ex
i traordinary changes are wrought in the con- .
dition of the feeble, emaciated and nervous
invalids by the use of this wonderful cor
rective, alterative and IODIC. Let common
sense decide between such a preparation and
a prostrating cathartic supplemented by a
poisonous astringent like strychnine or qui
nia. lJanlin
FOP. Coccus, COLDS, AND THROAT DIS- :
orders, use '"Brown's Bronchial Troches,"
having proved their efficacy by u test of many
years. The Troches are highly recommended
and prescribed by Physicians. Those ex
posed to sudden changes should always be
supplied with "The Troches' as they give
I prompt relief
Owing to the good reputation and popu
larity of the Troches, many worthless and
cheap imitations are offered, which are good
for nothing. Be sure to OBTAIN the true j
•'Brown,s Bronchial Troches." So d every
where.
AVER S AMERICAN ALMANAC, for the new
year, has arrived for delivery gratis by
to all who call for it. This little annual has
the largest circulation of any book in the
world, made by the fact that it furnishes the
best medical advice which is available to tbe
people—enables them to determine what
their complaints are and how to cure them.
It contains the startling announcement of tbe
conflagration of a world, or the combustion
of one of the stars io the firmament with all
its attendant planets. iJanlm
THE planet Venus can now be distinctly
seen with the naked eye at mid-day, when the
sky is clear. It has reached its period of
greatest brilliancy, and seen through the
lelescope presents the appearance of a
crescent. It is rapidly approaching the
sun, and will reach its inferior con
junction on tbe 23d of February, when it will
cease to be an evening star.

GEO. W. CHILD* of the Public Ledger I'bil
i adelphia> will accept onr thanks for a copy of
: the Ledger Almanac. It is handsomely got
! ten up aud is full of valuable statistics of a
general, national and political character. Its
statistics of Philadelphia give it a local char
acter and a special interest to Pennsylvanians.
In a very hurried glance at its contents, we
find among the church statistics, that the
Lutheran Churches are left entirely out of its
catalogue, though one of the oldest denomi
j nations in the city. Altogether it is a good
! beginning, and we have no doubt will improve
■ from year to year. 80,000 copies were print
j ed for gratuitions distributions among the
I the subscribers to the Ledger.

For Diseases of the Throat and Lunge, each
Conghe, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bron
chitis, Asthma, and Consumption.
Probobly never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long scries of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and high
er in their estimation, as it has become better
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat,
have made it known as a reliable pr'lector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for inci
pient consumption, and the danger' us affections
of the throat and lungs, .b a provision against
sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on
band in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and cougbs. all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. 8 complete is its mas
tery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat,
that the uiost obstinate of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great protec
tion from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cored by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cheiry Pectoral in small and frequent doses,
So g r.eraily arc its virtues known Ilia* we need
not publish the certificate? of tbcm bore, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fuliy maintained.

ftoinsts.
A? it name implies, it docs RE. and doesnot
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, arc literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in rlie history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments wc receive cf the radical cares
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies bad wholly failed.
I'nacclimated persons, cither resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the Ague Cure daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
i the Liver into healthy activity.
For Dili u? Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
mark aide cures, where other medicines had failed.
