Mrs. WILLIAM MOOKEHEAD, of Si. Clair tp.,
lied very suddenly on Friday last.
WE understand a Bakery has been institu
te lin this place. Long may it waive.
COCKT has not been as fully attended this
as usual, on ACCOUNT of the inclemency
f the weather.
AT HOME. — Hon. John Cessna and Hon. J.
K. Longenecker both paid flying visits home |
during the first couple days of conrt, but have !
returned to their respective posts, at IT ash- j
ington and Harrtsburg.
to' ELL AGAIN. — We notice oar friend I. K. I
Little of Saxton, who was very seriousiy :A
-red by the falling of the tressell work on tbe
H. A B. T. R. R. some time ago, has recov
red and is again able to attend TO business.
FATAL ACCIDENT. — On the Ist inst., a son
of Rev. Mr. Logue of Monroe township, was
almost instantly killed by being thrown from
a spring wagon. The horses became Tight
ened and ran C-FF. WE have not learned the ■
particulars.
SEW BASK. — We would call the attention ;
of eur readers to the advertisement of "THE
BEDFOBP Cot* NTT BASK, which wiii be found
in another column. It was opened in Bloody !
Run several weeks ago and has a corps ot
very substantia! men at its head.
FIBE. —One day last WEEK the dwelling
bouse of Mr. Henry Ciaar, in Union town
-hip, caught fire and burned to the ground
while the family were all away. Everything
he bouse was entirely destroyed. This is
certainly a very unfortunate affair.
Tbe amount ot business transacted in conrt
the present week bas been comparatively
small: a number of cases having been contin
ued on account of tbe necessary absence of
Bon. John Cessna, who was concerned in
them as counsel.
WE understand the Good Templar Organi
zation of this place is going to give an en
tertainment in the Court House, on tbe even
ing of the 22nd of this month : the proceeds
to go toward liquidating expenses incurred in
holding the series of lectures. We bespeak
for them a liberal patronage.
NEARLY all tbe Bitters that are advertised
to be used as a stomach Bitter, are really in
;ri. as, and should be avoided. But the Con
s' . tili'in Bitters are as represented, a good
S" math Bitter, and perfectly safe to use.
Try them and be convinced. Sold by all
I : iggista.
LAST Saturday Rev. A. W. Gibson purchas
ed a quarter of beef, packed it in snow, and
set it away for safe keeping. On Sunday
rning, while he and family were at church,
some petty thief who was undoubtedly ac
quainted with the premises, slipped in and
stole it. May the first bite choke him to —
repentance.
FOR Throat Diseases and Affections of the
chest, "ltroim'r Bronchial Troche*," or
Cough Lozenges, are of great veiue. In
Coughs, Irritation of the Throat caused by
cold, or Unusual Exertion of the vocal or
gans. in speaking in pnblie, or singing, they
produce the moat beneficial results. Tbe
Troches havejtrored their efficacy.
THE Fulton Democrat arises from its ashes
NOT only RENEW#J. but greatly improved. It
TS ENLARGED from a six to a seven column pa
prr and with its NEW type, is a great im
provement on the old Democtdt. We hope
politics will also now take a large stride
IN ADVANCE and come up to a modern liberal
standard. Our friend Robinson will accept
OAR congratulations on the improvement and
car best WISHES for his success in everything
-AT politics.

RSITBLICAW MEETTXC.— Pnrsasnt to the

| Trout, Adam H. pibert and Basil Browning.
Secretaries—V>'. C. Smith and James C,
> Russell.
| The Chairman of the County Committee,
' W. M Hall, opened the meeting with a few
} humorous remarks preparatory to iotrodoc
j ing Capt. W. C. Holaoan as the first speaker.
Mr Holaban responded in a neat and for
cible speech, reviewing and correcting the
mis-statements of tbe Democratic orators of
tbe previous evening and exposing tbe falla
j cic-s with which they attempted to mislead
j the minds of tbe few who had assembled to
I hear them.
The Committee on resolutions then pre
seated the following, which were read aud
unanimously adopted.
Besolcsd, 1. That the Republicans of Red
ford County, in Mass Meeting assembled, do
hereby express their hearty approval of the
administration of General Grant and point
with pride to the $f0,000,000 of the public
debt, paid in ten months. a the best proof of
bis faithfulness to the party pledges of econo
my. and as the mo*t triumphant refutation of
the copperhead charges of extravagance.
Besolced. 2. That we heartily endorse the
coarse of the Hon. S. Cameron and Hon.
John Scott, our representatives in the Senate
of the United States, and that iu them we
have champion* that Will truly represent tbe
Republican party and vigilantly guard the io-
I teresU of Pennsylvania.
HesoUed- J. That in the final passage of
the Fifteenth Amendment tbe nation has at
last practically recocnized the great principles
enunciated in the Declaration of Indepen
dence by Jefferson and his compatriots when
they declared "that all men ara created equal
and endowed with certain inalienable rights
among which are life, LIBERTY and Use pur
suit of happiness.
Besotted. 4. That we cordially approve of
and endorse the course of our member of
Congress, Hon. John Cessna, and especially
his advocacy of protection to American la
tnirers against tbe competition of foreign pau
pers, and that we recognize in him an able and
faithful defender of the principles of true Re
publicanism. and we do hereby recommend
him to the Republicans of the District for
renomination.
Besolced. .}. That we also endorse the
course of our member of the Legislature.
Hon. J. H. Longenecker and that we especi
ally approve bis course in supporting all
mpastires favoring retrenchment and reform

Besolced . 7. Tbat as citizens of Bedford
County, we protest against the extravagance
and mismanagement ot our County and Poor

"berefor upon our political adversaries, who
have so long bad exclusivecontrol, and that we

interests and inaugurate retorm, and tbat we
favor tbe immediate election of a suitable
Poor Hou*e. properly located, such as will re

Besolced, 8. That in view of the retrogres
sive and illiberal measures advocated by

hearty support.

After the reading of the resolutions, the
Hon. John Cessna was loudly called for, and
in answer, addressed the audience in a speech
of more than an hour's length. Space will
not permit us to do justice by presenting a
full report of this masterly effort, but we must
content ourselves with saying that it was irre
sistable in its logic, and replete with argu
ments which none bnt the most prejudiced
would dare to call in question. At the close
,f Mr. Cessna's speech, on account of the
lateness of the hour, the meeting adjourned.
Tus DEMOCRATS held their accustomed
pow-wow on Monday evening last. After its
organization. B. F. Meyers was introduced to
the audience and spoke for about an hour.
The first half ot his speech was devoted to a
tirade against the Republican party for sup
porting the loth Amendment. In the course
of bis remarks he said that the negroes would
cot have asked the right of suffrage had not
tbe Radicals offered it to them, and that tbe
Republicans were bribing the negroes by of
fering them tbe Amendment as the price of
their votes. After be finished with the negro,
he took up the subject cf tbe expenditures of
the Administration, and attempted to prove,
by reciting tbe editorials of the Gazette and
Patriot, that Grant's Administration is much
more corrupt arid extravagant than was John
son's. Mr. Meyers was I stened to with great
attention, not being interrupted by any noisy
applauses either dunng tbe progress of bis
i-peeeh or at its close. After Meyers had left
the floor, loud and repeated cries of Kerrl
Kerr Kerr 1 brought that gentleman to his
feet. Mr. Kerr was ncccr so truly eioqneuL
He proved beyond the peradventure of a
dentil that neither Grant, Congress, or the
Pennsylvania Legislature knew anything.
The eloquent gentleman closed with the fol
lowing beautifu i and touching peroration, "I
have but one more word to say and I wiii
leave you." He said tbe word and left, as
the big tears flowed down the cbceks ot all
who beard him. A motion to adjourn was
ihen made, and at o'clock the three score
of human souls who were in the Court room
slowly and sadly left. Tbe whole affair put
one in mind of the funeral obsequies of a de
parted friend. C.
To* WEATHER this week has been very
changeable. A warm South wind on Satur
day and Sunday effectually destroyed the
three feet of snow of last week. We had a
continuous jingle of bells on our streets as
long a3 the sleighing lasted. Mooday morn
ing was ushered in with a beavj rain which
continued until about 9 o'clock P. M. This
rendered the roads almost impassable for
wheeled vehicle#, and the eon sequence was,
nearly all our Court people bad to come to
:awn on foot or horseback. Quite a number
when they got here, were completely soaked.
On Tuesday, we had a regular-genuine touch
of Spring. A dock of geese dying down Ju
iiana street,-us wo write, is, according to some
of our weather prognos-ticalors a sure sign of
mere storm. Let 'er come.
QUITE AS INRAOV£HEXT. —We feel dispos.
Ed to congratulate the people of the county
on a very decided improvement in the moral
condition of the county since last court. We
then had upwards of thirty true bills of in
dictment found by the grand jury for crimi
nal offences. This tetm we have but fire
similar cases. This is certainly a most grati
fying improvement.
No ICE YET. —Our people are stiii very
anxiously awaiting cold weather. With the
exception of the Bedford Springs and several
of our hotels, no ice-houses bare been filled.
The late snow and rain have swollen our wat
era to some exteat, hut this should give no
uneasiness, as last year we bad good ice in
March.
AnxtTTEP. —On Thursday last, our young
friend J. M. Reynolds was admitted to prae
lice law in the various courts of Bedford
County- He was a very close student and
we understand passed a very creditable ex
amination. We wish him nil the suceea im
aginable.

FROM HRTMXODOX TO MT. DALLAS.—A
1 Pa<je from our Diary. — Tuesday morning.
: Feb. Bth. Huntingdon clothed in 16 inches
; of white— flakes falling thick and fast, with
;no prospect of a cessation. Breakfast over,
we beat a path to tbe H. & B. T. R. R. SU
tion, procure tickets and take seats in a car
bound for Mt. Dallas. A Lutheran, a Meth
odist and a Christian Minister, a member of
tbe bar from Ahonna. a government officer,
a ijve stock dealer, several bridal parties,
several pedagogues who bad been snowed np,
aud were taking advantage of their Providen
tial favor, to "visit a little,"' a sturdy fa'mer
from Snake Springs, several mechanics in
quest of jobs, together with the ''ship's crew,"
consisting of Mr. McKillips the General Su
perintendent of the road, a perfect gentleman
than whom tbe company can find no better
man to look after her interests, Messrs. Far
rer and Clark, Conductor and Express Agent,
both very clever and accommodating gentle
men, and a news agent, comprise our compa
ny. Leave Huntingdon at 9 o'clock. A gen
era! discussion of the weather soon brought
all parties conversationally together. Drop
ping this topic and taking up another and an
other, time rolled on aud the train too, umjl
about eleven o'clock, and wttbin the suburbs
of Saxton. we ran into a snow bank and
stuck. With the aid of a number of dexterous
hands from the village and the addition of
two more engines which we pressed into the
service from two freight trains which follow
ed in our wake, we managed to work up to
the depot. From this place, our Superinten
dent sent four enemes and a number of men
to reconnoitre. Two long bonrs elapsed be
tore they returned and reported a clear track
to Riddlesburg, a point about six miles dis
tant. Iu the meantiute, hunger making its
way into our ranks, those who had not their
grub along, repaired to the nearest confec
tionery and laid in a stock of crackers and
cheese, with which, and some Jiae Jeitey ap
ples the news agent disposed of at a reasonable
price, we managed to make out our dinners,
chatting continuously and speculating on the j
time we would arrive at various stations along
the route.
Making Riddlesbnrg in good time, we sped
on, over treesefls and bridges, through for
ests and deep cuts, at tbe rate of a mile in a
good many minutes, ploughing through a bed
of three feet of snow, makiug the white dust
fly a distance of twenty feel on either side of
the track, frequently forcing through drifts
from eight to ten feet in depth, nntii afier
crossing the last bridge and just about to con- j
gr&iulgte ourselves on being over the worst
part of the road, we landed "ker chuck" in a
drift in Cypher's Cut. This sudden stopping ;
caused several volunteer somersaults by a few
impatient parties who in order to keep from :
boiling over, had to keep constantly moving, i
The balance of tbe party enjoyed this neigh
borly inconvenience hugely, and tbe peals of
aughter were not silenced until after we bad
been backed out on the level again,- when
one of the Divines thinking it pretty evident
we would remain here for some time, broke
the spoil by suggesting the propriety of send 1
ing a committee across the river to a farm j
bouse in sight, to look after some poultry for j
tea. This question was being vigorously dis- ;
caused, when our Snperintendant said we
should give ourselves no uneasiness on tbat
account, as ho had a pair of fine \\ OOPCOCK
on board which were to have been shipped to
Ilopeweil, but as there was no likelihood of
reaching that point to'nigbt, he could appro
priate them in our be-half, but there was no
necessity, as he had decided to go back to
Saxton, where we could have a good warm j
supper and a good rest. ' To Saxton we
went, and slippered without the WOODCOCK.
Next tnorning, Mr. MeKellips informed us
he bad broken tLe road during the night, and
would land as safe at Mt. Dallas during the
day. Good as his word,-he did.
THE Delaware County Democrat reports j
the burning of a large barn, the property of

Ir is said that Calisaya Berk has a peculiar
effect upon the liver, ar.d guards the system
against diseases by exposure and irregular
diet. It is conceded that the great success of
the wonderful PLANTATION BITTERS, which
previon'to onrlate unhappy difficulties, was
found in most southern homes, was owing to
the extract of Calisaya Bark which it con
tained as one ot the principal ingredients.
In confirmation of this we have heard one of
our distinguished Physicians remark, that >
whenever he felt unwell from ordinary diet- I
etic or atmospheric causes, he invariably re- :
lieved himself by Plantation Bitters. We !
speak advisedly when we say that we know it ,
j to be the best and most popular medicine in ;
i the worid.
SHKKTFF KETSES. on Friday last, inquisi
tion day, in accordance with an old and hos
pitable custom, treated his jury and a num
ber of the legal fraternity to a splendid din
ner at the Mengel bouse. The printers were
not forgotten and while there noted the fact
that lawyers. Imwcter much they may wran
gle in court, grow joliy and good natnred over
roast turkey like other people. The Sheriff
did the honors of the occasion assisted by bia
very active and efficient deputy John A.
Cessna. We congratulate them on the suc
cessful inauguration of their administration.
SCI'DEX DEATH. —Mr. John H. Walter, con
stable of Union township, died suddenly on
Saturday evening last, while on bis way from
Lewistown, in Union twp., to Moses' Mill.
Mr. Walter was in a s'eigh with Mr. Thomas
SiiSier and at first attracted Mr. Stifßer's at
tention by leaning agaiust him heavily.
When on examination it was found that be
was already dead. It is supposed that he died
from disease ot the heart. He leaves a wile
and a family of seven or eight children.
•'CL.EANST.XO TUB BEOOB," upon which
charlatans have harped so much, is not a mere
catcb-word and delusion. The microscope
shows that some diseases exist like parasitic
growths upon the globules of the blood, and
it is further known that some subtle sub
stances destroy or e*pel them. These sub
stances have been combined to make Ayer's
Sarsaparilia. which does effectually expel the
disorders that breed and rankle in the blood
to rot out as it were the machinery of life.—

.Irritable Invalids.
Indigestion not only affects tbe physical
health but the dispositions and tempers ofitt
victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a
measure demoralized by his sufferings. He is
subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or des
| pair, as tbe case may be. A preternatural
'.sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads
I him to misconstrue the words and acts of
j those aronud him, and his intercourse even
with those nearest and dearest to bim is not
■infrequently marked by exhibitions of testi
ness foreign to his real nature. These are
the menial phenomena of the disease, for
, which the invalid cannot be justly held re
sponsible, but they occasion much household
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 dons by removing their physical
cause, a derangement of the functiuns of the
stomach and its allied viscera, the liver and
the bowels. Upon these three important or
gans Hostetter's Stomach Bitters act siraul- ■
taneously, producing a thorough and salutary
change in their condition. Tbe vegetable in- j
gredienls of which tbe preparation is com- j
posed are of a renovating, regulating and al- I
teraiive chatacter and the stimulant which
lends activity to their remedial virtues is tbe
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 notable improvement in bis I
general health. Not only 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
ifest itself in his demeanor to all around
him. lFeblm

A VER S CATHARTIC PILLS,
A FOB PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universal'y re
quired by everybody as cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in
every country and among all classes, as this mild
but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious rea
son is, that it is a more reliable and far more ef
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them : those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know tbat what it does once it does al
ways—thst it nevci fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. We bare thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them. Adapted to all ages and eon
I dithns in all climates ; containing neither caio
I mel or an? deleterious drag, they may he taken
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves them ever fresh and makes tbem pleas
ant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to parify the blood and stimu
late it into healthy action—remove the obstruc
tions of the stomach, bowls, liver, ard other or.
gans of tie body, restoring their irregular action
to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
suet derangements as pre the first origin of dis
ease.
Minu'e direciions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the foi'owing complaints, which
