in the interest of the Kemble Iron Company,
paid a visit to our town on Tuesday fast.
They are here looking after the ore leases
they made last Fall. We have heard nu

lately, but as we can't trace them to reliable
parties, shall say nothing about them.

Mr. JOHN JAMES AND JACOB BARNHART
Esq., have returned from a visit to Missouri.
Tbey were out in that cooDtry prospecting for
lands and specalations—We wish them all
the success in the world, but would be sorry
to see them "pull up stakes and dig for the
prairies. Quite a number of our citizens are
leaving us this Spring—When we get our rail,
road here, w will have as many attractions
as they have elsewhere, and instead of our
citizens emigrating from the country, we will
have a continuous flood of newcomers to
assist us in caryingon our extensive manu
factures and business of all kinds (which
arc to come). Let us make a big pall, a
steady pull, a long pull and a pull altogether
for the railroad from ML Dallas to Bridgport
and we will be all right for this and the next
two or three generations.
CHILD LOST.— On Wednesday the 4th inst.,
a little child of Stephen G. Wright of Broad
top township, about two and a half years of
age, was lost in the mountains belrreeD Wells
Valley and the Village of Coaldale, and
wandered about for twenty-one hours before
it was found. It appears that Mr. Wright
was working near Coaldale, about a mile and
a half from home, and had taken two of the
older children with him in the morning, in
tending to send them back with a package
for their mother. Being gone longer than
usual, the mother became anxious about
them, and started out to meet tbem, leaving
the little child above mentioned and an
older one in charge of the house. She was
hardly out of sight, when these two young
sters started after her and had gone some
distance from the bouse when the older one
concluded to go back, leaving the other alone
in the road. In due time the mother re
turned with the boys and found her youngest
child missing. Upon inquiry, she learned
the above particulars, and immediately in
stituted a search, which was diligently kept
up till five o'clock in the afternoon. Every
nook and corner was examined, but no trace
of the child could be lound. At this time
a message was sent to the father and the
news communicated to Couldale. The good
citizens of that town, merchants, mechanics,
miners, laborers, and all, joined in the hunt,
traveling the country far and wide until mid
n.ght when they adjourned only to reform
the line early in the morning, l'he next
morning Mr. B. F. Thomas, while on his
way home for refreshments, found the child
sitting by the trunk of a fallen tree about one
mile from where the parents live, calling for
its mother. Lie accordingly picked it up
and carried it to its mother. We leave our
readers to imagine the joy occasioned by this
intelligence. The child appears to be none
the worse off for this bit of romance, not
withstanding it bad the whooping cough at
the time, and was exposed to very inclement
weather.
"LITTLE THINGS." —We had a regular
Spring rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
since which time cabbage and tomato plants
have been thriving wonderfully. Several
weeks ago we made a mistake in noticing the
death of an aged citizen of Southampton twp.
It should have read Michael Mills, instead of
Michael Miller. He was 85 years, 6 months,
and 26 days old. Thus far we hare better
prospects for truit than we have had for
several years. Apples are scarce and com
mand good prices in town. A number of
horse buyers have been in town the past week,
and bought up the best stock to ship it to the
East. They expect to be back on Circus day,
(the 18lh) to make another haul. Horse
flesh is ranging from $l5O to $250. A num
ber of pavements were almost impassable on
Friday after the rain, several in Mud Town
and a whole lot on Main Street. A few loads
of gravel at a small expense is all that is
necessary to convert these detestifcle mud
holes into respectible sidewalks, and if it is
not done soon, we will inform the public who
the delinquents are. The "Bedford Springs'
and the various boarding houses in and about
Bedford are making ample preparations for a
big run of custom the coming Summer. It
has been proven beyond doubt, that the
"Bedford Springs" waters for medicinal pur
poses are the best in the United States and
hundreds of living witnesses from all parts of
the country are willing to testify to it from
experience. We notice a new pavement in
front of the Anderson House—Who will be
the next on the list of improvements. One
•day last week, Mr. John Eversote, of South
Wood'oery towsnbip, broke his leg, while in
the act of felling a tree. Dr. Charles Long
is pacticing medicine at New Enterprise. He
is a competent physician, and deserves the
patronage of that vicinity. Dr. Wm. Watson
is laying a new floor in his office, on Pitt St.,
this weak, besides papering, painting, and
everything else to make it cozy for this Sum
mer. We understand that Israel Davis has
been appointed post master at Mowery's
Mills iri stead of J. H. Lambourn, resigned.
A. W. Swope Esq., bas been appointed
Post Master at Six Mile Run instead
of Alfred Evans, resigned. George
Purcell Esq., bas been appointed post
Master to take charge of a new office at Green
point and J. M. Purcell to take charge of one
at Pnrcell's. These will all make good offi
cers.
THE Cesses. —Census-taking time is com
ing around. We look forward with interest
to the consummation of tti:. business. The
Census taker will have to a a great many
(apparently) impertinent questions, but as
he only comes round every ten years, we
hope every body will post bim correctly.
With an eye to "locals," we shall watch the
returns very closely.
The deputy marshals appointed to take the
census of Bedford County are: llev. F.
Benedict, of Bedford Bor., William Kirk, of
St. Clair twp., and Mr. C. C. Gariick of Mon
roe. They are very highly respected citizens,
competent to do the work, and will make
very efficient officers.
Mr. Benedict s field embraces Bedford
Bor., Bedford township, Snake Spring, Cole
rain, and Rainsburg Bor., Napier twp., and
Schellsburg bor., Harrison and Juniata twp.
Mr. Kirk has St. Clair twp., and St. Ciairs
ville bor., Union twp., South and Middle
Woodberry twps., and Woodberry bor., Lib
erty, Broadtop, Saxton bor., and Coaldale.
Mr. Garlick bas Londonderry, Cumber
land Valley, Southampton, Monroe, East and
West Providence, Hopewell and Bloody Itnn
boroughs.
SUPREME COURT. —Hon. S. L. Russell W.
M. Hall Esq., M. A. Points Esq., J. W.
Oickerson Esq., andE. F. Kerr Esq., left for
Harrisburg on Monday last, to attend the
Supreme Court in which the following casts
from our county are pending:
Riddlesburg Coal and Iron Company vs.
Langdon.
Dibert et al. vs. Jordan et al.
Johns v 3. Wills et al.
Broad Top Coal and Iron Company vs.
Riddlesburg Coal and Iron Company.
The Riddlesburg Coal and Iron Company
vs. Rogers.
Gump vs. Lingenfelter.
Bush et al. vs. Lingenfelter et al.
Lehman vs. Kellerman.
ON Monday, the list of cases was called
over, and the Broad Top Coal and Iron Com
pany rs. Riddlesburg coal and Iron Company
and the Riddlesburg coal and Iron Company
vs. Rogers, were submitted.
OLD FASHIONED CIRCUS. -On Wednesday, the
18th of May, G. G. Grßdy's old fashioned
American Circus will exhibit in Bedford. It
is said to be a perfect Circus, with surround
ings more superb and complete than any
ever witnessed in an American arena. Riders,
leapers, vaulters, tumblers, somersaulters,
grmnasts, horses unsurpassed in the world.
One of the grand features of the occasion
will be the three great clowns, the two Grady's
and Lew Ginger, who will be worth bearing.
Gradp's entertainment will give an oppor
tunity to all who are fond of the circns to
enjoy themselves. See advertisement in
another column.
RAILROAD STRIKE— We understand that all
the hands working on the Pittsburgh and
Connellsville railroad in the vie'raify of
Bridgeport have stopped work and struck for
higher wages. Ti.ey were getting $1.75 per
day, but now demand $2.00. We hope but
do not know that a compromise was effected.
"GRADY'S CIRCUS" wont sooth the troub

to be had only at the Resort,

"SHOO FLY KISER DON'T YOU WANT TO
BUY A DORO'" was in town this week. A
strange canine made the acquaintance of a
mischievous party on Tuesday last, who un
dertook to break the dull monolouy of town
at his expense. Accordingly he was hitched
to a tin pan, and subjected to several other
"operations" best known to the "Knights of
Dogdom," in order to get up the steam.
This accomplished, he was piloted to South-
Juliana street, his prow set due North, aud
away he went through the principal streets at
break-neck speed, a whoop and a howl at ev
ry lp. Forty other dogs folio* , d 111 biß
wake and joined in the chorus every three or
four yards. We will not dispute that the qui
et ot those localities through which this
train passed was disturbed, but wc have oar
doubts whether the point was made.
A CORRECTION*. —We are happy to learn
that the difficulty at Mt. Dallas has been
satisfactorily arranged. The agent assures
us that he is desirous of accommodating all
parties to the extent of his power and au
thority. The bank difficulty seems to have
been the result of a misunderstanding; some
one asked the agent for a blank check on
Mr. Lloyd's bank, and he replied that he had
none on hand as they did not transact their
business with him, but in Bloody Run.
This it seems was misunderstood and taken
as a refusal to accept checks on Lloyd's
bank. We are assured that the checks of all
parties known to be responsible will always
be accepted. There is a vicious practice by
some parties of sending checks signed in
blank, leaving the agent or teamster to fill
in the amount of the freight to be paid.
This is a bad and dangerous practice and
should be broken up.
THE COL'XTY COMMITTEE. —was to have
convened on Court week, but as there were
not enough members present to form a quo
rum, that part of it was a failure. The main
object in calling the meeting was to determine
at what time the primary or nominating elec
tion should be held. There is to be a Poor
House election on the 27th inst, and it was at
first thought that would be a suitable time to
hold the nominating election, but it appears
that a majority of the members of the com
mittee who were present, were in favor of
postponing the election until after harvest, as
also were several prospective candidates.
This of course is yet an open question, and
will be decided by the Committee as early as
circumstances will permit.
THAT "Trade Mark" of Seward A Bentley's>
A. M. 1864, S. 2., may seem a little obscure
to the many who read it, but the many thou
rands who have tried their valuable tonic,
Constitution Bitters, fuil to see anything but
good effects from them. They strengthen
the weak and debilitated, amend shattered
constitutions, place the ill and despairing
ones firmly upon their pins again, and in
short, are just what the suffering need. We
speak of what we know, and our advice to the
sick is, get a bottle and you'll agree with us,
for the Constiution Bitters are certainly the
best in use.
CHEMISTRY is furnishing us new agents for
fuel, force, food, and many other important
aids over those we once possessed. Ports
from which commerce was driven during the
hot months hy their terrible fevers are visited
all the year with impunity now. Many locali
ties in the South and West kept tenanlless by
their deleterious miasms are now filling up
with populations under the protection of
Ayer's Ague Cure. Their afllicting Chills
and Fever are so effectually cured by this
remedy that the disease no longer turns
emigration aside or destroys the settler if he
ventures upon its infected districts.— Gazette

Health's Ucst Defence.
"The weak eateth herbs," says St. Paul,
so that eighteen hundred years ago the value
of medicinal plants was appreciated. In the
Old Testament botanical remedies are repeat
edly recommended, but in no passage of
sacred history is man recommended to swal
low calomel, or blue pill, or any other miner
al preparation. The sick were directed to
eat herbs to strengthen them, to purify them,
to heal them, to restore them. In that day
the art of making vegetable extracts was un
known. The herbal medicines were mere in
fusions'
It was reserved for a later age to unite the
sanitary essences of touic, aperient and an
tibilions roots, barks, and plants, with an ac
tive stimulant, and thus secure their rapid
diffusion through the debilitated or disordered
system. The crowning triumph of this affect
ive mode of concentrating and applying the
virtues of medicinal vegetables was achieved
in the production of Hosteller's Stomach
Bitters. Never before had a perfectly pure
alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest specifics of the
vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though
eighteen years bave elapsed since its intro
duction, has this great restorative been
equalled. It is taken at all seasons, in all
climes, as the most potent safeguard against
epidemics, as a protection against all un
healthy exhalations that produce debility of
beget disease; as a remedy for intermittent
and other malarious fevers; as an appetizer;
as a sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general
tonic and invigorant; as a gentie, painless
aperient; as a blood depurent; as a nervine;
as a cure for bilious affections; as a harmless
anodyne; end as the HEST HKKKSCE OK HEALTH
under unfavorable circumstances, such as
sedentary pursuits, undue bodily or mental
exertion, hardship, privation and exposure.

ucaSumens
I notice an article in your number of the
29th of April headed the Poor Hocse ques
tion. I was in hopes some one more compe
tent than myself would reply to it but so far
none have been given which I noticed. I
will give a brief statement of my views of the
case, and what I think will prove to be the
views of a majority of the voters in the county
though they differ widely from those expres
sed in the article referred to. In the first
place I cannot understand why Bedford coun
ty canuot sell and purchase a property as well
as any individual. If the property for sale is
advertised at public sale surely any person
wishing to buy such property will not with
hold their bids simply because it is sold by
tbe agents of tbe county; and as regards the
purchase of another I would jußt say that if
the men selected for that purpose pay double
what a farm is worth because the owner of
said farm expects to get double its value
when he sells to the county, tbey are not
very competent for the task for which they
were chosen. D. A. T. Black has a farm for
sole and wonld sell it to tbe county as cheap
as to any individual in the county. I have
one for sale on which was raised the last sea
son fire hundred bushels of wheat, eight .hun
dred bushels of oats, one thousand bushels
of ears of corn, plenty ot hay, pasture to sus
tain a large stock of cattle and horses —never
less tbau twenty five head of cattle and seven
or eight horses, with a large and very sub
stantial stone house of, I think, nearly doub
le the capacity of tbe present alms house;
ibis property can be bought for less man tu#
present Poor Ilousa property will sell for,
and will produce annually three times as
much as that property. I have no doubt but j
there are other properties that can be bonght
at a fair price which will suit as well as this
and I for one am perfectly satisfied to leave
the selection to the men appointed for that
purpose. It is well known that real estate is
worth considerably more near the county seat
than some distance off—one reason why the
people want it sold —another is, they believe
it can be managed better and cheaper. I
have no doubt there are good men n Bed
ford County who will contract to keep the
poor of the county for one-half per head
what it has cost the County the last ten years,
and keep them better tban they have been
kept and give satisfactory security for the
faithful performance of that duty, provided
they could have a say in the selection of a
property on which to do it. It is really no
wonder the tax payers are dissatisfied; tbey
have no idea that there is any need for half
as expensive a building as has been spoken
of; one sufficiently commodious and com
fortable, they think is all that is necess&ry.
As to the Grand Jurors inspecting the I'oor
House, I have had some experience in that
matter. The men have been away from
home perhaps a whole week and just after
tbey are discharged they are sent to inspect
tbe affairs in and about the buildings. Tbey
are then very anxious to gst home and each
man expects his neighbor to see that ail is
right, and pays little attention to it himself.
If three competent men were appointed for
that duty, it would, I think, be much better
attended to, at a very trifling cost. As lor
the Doctors, I have been told by eminent
physicians that none of us suffer for the
want ot their services as much as is generally
supposed. When it is really needed it can
be procured in any part of the country. I
proposed at the commencement of this article
to be brief, and lest I have exceeded that
bound, I will conclude by bopiog that some
improvement will be made in regard to the
management of our poor for the benefit of
the tax payers. Yours respectfully,
George Mbcraw.
Editor of the Bedford Inquirer:
As you hare politely opened your columns
for remarks on the Poor House question, I
would respectfully say, as a tax payer, if
there be no impediment, sell the mill on a
reasonable credit to a response's party, and
apply the proceeds to the erection of a build
ing seventy feet long, with wings forty feet
long each, three stories high with balus
strade all round and comfortable walks for the
Poor. Twenty-five thousand dollars would
effect this on the present site for the Poor.
To purchase a farm near Bedford, would cost
not less than eight thousand five hundred
dollars, and the erection of a suitable build
ing and inclosures from fifty to sixty f,ve
thousand dollars. I have a fellow feeling for
our tax ridden fellow citizens, and shall cast
my vote against the sale of the present site
of our Poor house —deeming it best to hear
the ills we have, than fly to those we ktow
not. ' Law. TALIAFEKKO.

PHILADELPHIA PRODUCE MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, May I'.— The flour market
is without change worthy of special note.
There is no demand for shipment, and the
operations of the home consumers are con
fined to their immediate wants. The sales
foot up 000 barrels, including superfine at
$4 37a4 624: extra at $4 871a5 12$: lowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota extra family at
$5 25a5 80, the latter for choice: Pennsyl
vania do. do. at $5 50a6 25: Indiana and
Ohio do. do. at $5 75aC 50; and fancy brands
at $8 75a0, according to quality. Rye flour
is firm at $0 25. Brandywine corn meal is
held at $5 75, without finding buyers.
There is a fair demand for prime wheat at
former quotations, but the offerings are light;
inferior descriptions are almost unsalable.
Sales of western and Pennsylvania red at
$1 30a$' 40. Rye ranges from $1 03 to 106
for western and Pennsylvania. Corn is quiet,
