ALL the Monthly Magazines, Periodicals and daily papers can be had at the Inquirer Book Store, IN EARNEST. —The people of Somerset mean business on the railroad question. They have already raised $35,450 toward building their road. Ijet onr people reroem ber this when they are again asked to sub scribe money toward building a railroad. We have far greater and more valuable interests in a railroad than Somerset, yet we could only raise about $23,000 after months of downright begging; and all for tbe simple reason that many of our wealthiest men sub scribed a mere pittance and many more, to their disgrace be it said, nothing at all. BRCAP TOP ITEWS. —Miners at and around Dudley, and on the Six Mile Run region, have been cm a strike since the 10t"n inst: also, 2 mines on the Back-switch, have been idle the same time. On Tuesday, lltb, the miners of tbe Broad Top, Carbon and Cook Vein Collieries struck, but there are hopes that they will resume work. A large meeting of miners was held on the 10th : between five and six hundred were present. A more stalwart lot of men in a single community, I dare say, cannot be found in the county, than the dark faced miners of Broad Top.— Huntingdon Globe- DON'T STEP THERE.— We read, somewhere, a short lime ago, a story of a little boy stand -1 ing on the sidewalk on a Sabbath morning, and saying to passers by, as be pointed to an icy spot on the pavement, "don'tstep there." When asked why he did so unsoal a thing, he answered that he had "stepped there and : fallen and be was now warning others that i they might be careful of their steps. Oh for j more such philanthropists! Oh that every j one that has stepped upon slippery places and fallen would utter that warning cry ! "don't step there" to those whom he sees in the same dangerous path! M hat pointed, I practical, effective preaching it would be! j What thonsands of fallen men, would stand j by the doors of the drams-shop and cry aloud i "don't step there" for I have stepped there, I and behold the wreck ! I have fallen ! fallen! ' j | fallen !!! All, ail is gone, fortune, friends, j health, character, manhood, even hope has i forsaken me and I am going down to a drunk j | ard's grave. But do they not preach it still. i 1 though unwittingly ? Does not the watery eye. j the unsteady step, the bloated countenance : that we meet upon tbe street speak loudly to ! us all "don't step there"? And alas! does! not the raving maniac writhing in tbetortures j of Delirium Tremens speak in tones that 1 chill tbe very blood "don't Btep there "V ! And who will heed? Will you yonng man j who have just learned the way to the dram- i shop ? Will yon upon whom the demon drink j is already riveting his chains ? As you value j life, health, fortune, character, "don't step j there." As you value your immortal soul.] heed the terrible warning and "Don't step j there." OIL. —For the information of tbe parties in- j terested in the Stump Island and other oil j wells in that region we pnblisb the following ; extract from the East Brady Independent of j January 22nd : The Emlenton Oil Field. —The following is i the latest and best information from the Em lenton oil field : The last well put down on Ritchey's known 1 as the Saw Mill well, and owned by Adams j A Co., has been cased, and is now producing ] 4 barrels per day and increasing. The pros j pects are that it will be a good paying well. I Tbe Widel well ou the opposite side of the j river, and immediately above the bridge, is j down 653 feet, with good indications and a i good sand rock, showing that the impressions j heretofore entertained in regard to this lo- j caiity, are without foundation. The rock now i being penetrated is the second sand, and j they are now down 13 feet in it, and it will j compare favorably with the rock below at ] Parker's. The Parker Oil Field. —Tbe "Island King" j well commenced pumping 300 barrels salt 1 water about Ist December. After bursting ; several seed bags, a light one was made final ly, and she pumped a solid stream of salt water for several days, when the oil began to color the water. As the water diminished the oil increased. She is now pumping by actual measurment 150 Parrels per day and certainly not more than one-third water, —so that she is yielding, fully 100 barrels of oil per day, probably more. The Island King is owned by Galey and Hartley. The stump Island oil Co., are preparing to sink three wells on tbe upper Island, and two on the lower Island. The Hartley well, No. 5, on the Hartley and Shannon tract, is yielding 50 barrels. This well is the first below tbe Emlen. The Miami on the Hartley tract No. 3is being drilled through tbe third sand. She was tested when drilled only a few feet in the third sand, but yielded only about 8 barrels. Colonel Woodward is now having her 6unk deeper. No. 1 and No. 4, on Hartley and Shannon tract, will soon be down, and No. 2 at the mouth of Hartley Run will soon commence drilling. Also two wells on Cottage Lot, be { longing to Hartley and Shannon, will soon be ■ under way. John Lambing lessee. Great activity prevails and from appear- j ance the development of this field from be- j yond Lawenceburg to Bear creek and from I there to Ritchy Run, will be rapid next sum- ; mer. The Stump Island wells, at the mouth oi the Clarion River, had stopped pumping for "24 hours in consequence of the flood, but flowed all the time. The cribbing on tbe Island is progressing and the wells will soon be out of tbe reach of high water. Tbe up per one of these wells is now the "King" well of the "Landing." WE have always regarded with much inter est, the rapidity with which toe great West is filled up and covered over with enterprise, energy and wealth: how the ceasless waves of population and business are ever rolling on, carrying with them, and depositing as they go education, religion, industry and prosperi ty. As tbe country is rapidly settled, gov ernment is constantly surveying and laying out new counties, and flourishing and aspir ing towns at once spring up, growing and putting entirely in the shade the more sober and sedate efforts of the older portions of the land. One of the first evidences of the in auguration of a new county and the inevitable county seat is the appearance of a newspaper; this is indispensable; and it is by watching the papers we are able to form ideas of tbe thrift and improvement of the country. They furnish at a glance unmistakable testimony of the character, habits and business of the population. The advertisements and locals make np, to a great extent, the history of a town and its surrounding country: so that by observing these one need not visit the locali ty to learn whether it is prosperous or other wise. We hare beeu led to these remarks by the weekly visit of a young but spirited sheet, the Alexandria Post, published in Alexandria, northwestern Minnesota, a town that, three or four years ago, had no exis tence, but is now cne of the rising ones, going up in true western style, and where, by the way, our young townsman, J. Selby Mower Esq., has hung out bis shingle and planted himself for business. It is we judge, in the midst of an agricultural region unsurpassed by any in the union. A NOTICEABLE FACT.—That one mode of ap pealing to a man's reason is through his eye. In these busy times tneu are so deeply im mersed in tbe couduct of magnificent projects, that they forget all about tbe condition of their system, and hence it is that tbe Proprie tors of the PLANTATION BITTERS, which cures Dyspepsia, purifies the blood, improves the tone of the stomach, regulates the bowels, and, indeed, invigorates the whole inner man, are so active in advertising. In fact, adver tisements are merely sky-rockets sent np to attract attention to a really good article. "CLEANSING THE BLOOD," upon which 1 charlatans have harped so much, is not a mere r catch-word and delusion. Tbe microscope shows that some diseases exist like parasitic 1 growths upon the globules of the blood, and it is further known that some subtle sub ' stances destroy or expel them. These sub stances have been combined to make Ayer's j Sarsaparilla, which does effectually expel the disorders that breed and rankle in the blood to rot oat as it were tbe machinery of life. — Mercer Pa. Whig. 1 Feb Ira THE FIRST PASSENGER over the new torn pike bridge at tbe narrows was Dr. B. F. Har ry, who crossed it on Monday evening. The flooring was laid on Monday, and the bridge thrown open for public use on Wednesday. Our teamsters and tbe traveling public gener ally will gladly abandon the mod and rocks ibey have been toiling over for three months past, and hail with joy the returr. to the solid turnpike. THE third, in the course of Temperance j Lectures was delivered in the Court House - on Monday evening, by Rev. J. Q. McAtee ! to a crowded house. The next will be deliv ered on Monday evening bv Rev. R. F. Wil son. The interest seems to increase with | each successive lecture. On Monday eve ; ning every available foot of space in the i Court room was occupied, and many were ] unable to gain admittance. The indication!-: | are that a healthy public sentiment, on tbe ] subject of temperance, is resulting from these \ lectures and that they will be productive of : much good to the community. | LIST OF LETTERS remaining in the Post j Office in Bedford, (uncalled for,) on the Ist.

Indigestion not only affects the physical health but the dispositions and tempers of its victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a i measure demoralized by his sufferings. He is subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or des- j pair, as the case may be. A preternatural sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads him to misconstrue the words and acts of ] those around him, and his intercourse even i with those nearest and dearest to him is not I unfrequentiy marked by exhibitions of testi ' ness foreign to his real nature. These ar j the mental phenomena of the disease, for ] which the invalid cannot be-justly held re ; sponsible, bat they occasion much household i discomfort. It is to the interest of tbe home circle, it is essential to family harmony as ! well as to the rescue of the principal sufferer from a state not far removed from incipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental dis turbance be promptly removed. This can only be done by removing their physical cause, a derangement of the functions of the stomach and its allied viscera, the liver and the bowels. Upon these three important or gans Hosteller's Stomach Bitters act simul taneously, producing a thorough and salutary change in their condition. The vegetable in gredients of which the preparation is com posed are of a renovating, regulating and ab terative character and the stimulant which lends activity to their remedial virtues is the purest and best that can be extracted from tbe most wholesome of all cereals, viz : sound rye. No dyspeptic can take this genial restorative for a single week without ex periencing a ootable improvement in his general health. Not oniy will his bodily sufferings abate from day to day, but his mind will recover rapidly from its restlessness and irritability, and this happy change will man i ifest itself in Lis demeanor to all around him. iFeblra _ BARKKTS.

MASON'S DOUBLE-ACTING NON-FREEZING FORCE PUMP. Thin Puuip has been awarded the I'IRST I'RE MICM at the New York, Ohio, and Pennsylva nia State Fairs. This Patup never freezes, from the fact that the moment you stop pumping, tb* water gradually drops back to a level with the wafer in the well; consequently you always get PUKE COLD WATER. It will force water any distance through : pipe, and in case of FIRE, is valuable, as water j may be thrown to the distance of from fifty to sixty feot from its month, by attaching 3 or four feet of small hose. It is DOUBLE ACT I-N G, ! and can be.worked with eh-e. It is just the j thing tb wash wagons, buggies, and water gar dens, Ac., ana every farmer and mechanic should have one of these pumps. As for Health, this . Pump has been pronounced by our leading Phy sicians as being one of the very best pomps now in use. It ie generally known that wooden pumps hold the water in the stalk, nnd of course it tastes more or less of the wood. This Pump leaves all j the water drop back just as soon as you atop ; pumping, to the level of the water in the well. 1 So yon get PURE COLD WATER from the hot j torn of the well every time jrett draw a bucket j full. There ate about 52 of these pumps now in use in this county, for one and two years, and they have ALL given perfect satisfaction. Not one* of these has frozen since they have been put in. For reference I can give some of the very Lest men in our town and eounty. Call and see this pump w rk before purchasing any o'her.
