FROM BEDFORD TO HUNTINGDON.—
Bedford, our readers are aware, has been con
nected, within the last six mouths, with the
world at large, by means of the Bedford &
Bridgeport railroad. Its citizens have been
so elated at this good fortune, that they have
become "puffed up," as the old ladies say
when they see any one putting on airs, and
the result has been that the deity, who directs
the destinies of railroads, determined to punish
them summarily for their vanity, by cutting
them off again from the outer-world, and re
ducing them to the "coach and four,' at an
average speed of five miles an hour, and this,
verily, is fast enough for Bedford ! We know
this to be so ! Why didn't one wicked Bed
fordian, without the fear of the Great Mo
gul before his eyes, tell as that if they had
another railroad the place would be ruined ?
And hadn't we a right to believe him when he
cited the fact, that before the completion of
the railroad they shipped through the town,
at least twice a week, a great load of staves,
and the drivers always stopped to take a drink
and buy a plug of tobacco, and now there is
nary stave passes through the town, nary
dime left by the thirsty and tobacco chewing
drivers, and the consequences arc that the
whiskey business is about ruined and the
stores are at a stand still. Oue landlord has
already retired from business and another will,
in a month or two, and the store-keepers want
to sell out. We sympathized deeply with the
young man who told us this lamentable tale
and at once recommended him to President
Cessna, for a "posish" on the railroad. We
have no doubt but he was appointed. The
President always hearkens unto us. But we
have drifted several leagues from cur subject.
It was on Wednesday morning last. The
thermometer indicated far below zero, and if
we are not mistaken, the mercury was doing
its level best to hide itself in the ball. Whew !
but it was cold! The wheels creaked and
yawned as if they had been on a high on the
night before, and couldn't get over it. "Hel
lo.. ! There comes the buss." In a moment
we were at the door. Down the street it came
with a perfect rush, Col. Gordon on the box,
muffled up to the eyes. By it rattled We
called lustily, the Colonel drew up the strings,
the "buss" stopped and out stepped the urbane
confluctor, and we and our better-half were
stowed inside. Here were Dr. and Mr.
Nl and several strangers. Robes and
shawls were freely plied, the "buss" rolled
on and Jack Frost avenged himself upon
us by freezing up the windows until there
was scarcely a crevice through which to
"peep." Down past Red-Bank, the home of
Lysinger, the great trader, down past the toll
gate, where aunt "Libby" smiled sweetly at
the sight of the "buss" and sighed for the
good old days of Conestoga wagons, and "fips"
and "levers" for toll—she never took to the
railroad kindly—on across the splendid truss
bri3 ge spanning the Raystown Branch, past the
Point of Rocks, where the old Domeny Cook
mansion used to stem the terrible blasts,
then went into a skeow, then threatened
to fall, and finally was removed, on to Willow
Tree, the first wood and water station out.
Here the horses were treated to an ice-cold
draught. The Colonel mounted the box again
and we rolled out of Muttontown and left the
lambs behind. Down past Judge Hartley's
several farms, all of which looked bleak and
cold as some men's hearts, but no doubt the
Judge and his tenants were enjoying the hos
pitalities of the most comfortable fires. On,
on we rolled past Mt. Dallas which was, for
many years; the terminus of Bedford
county railroad enterprise. The Doctor sug
gested that but a few days before we had
turned up our noses at that forsaken station,
but we would only be too glad now to accept
its hospitalities were it capable of affording
any. It looks like the ruins of Beulah. Into
Bloody Run we dashed, the mail was changed,
our conductor, Dan Cessna, perched himself
upon the box, to steer the craft over the
breakers—and there are few who can do it
better—and out of Bloody Run we dashed, up
the old plank road, nor stopped we once, save
in a case of "needcessity," while the Doctor
discoursed upon the merits and beauties of
stained glass, until we reached Tatesville,
eleven miles out. It only took a minute or
two to change the mail at this place. The
driver drew up his lines carefully, the road
was narrow and sidling and the "buss" four
inches wider than the ordinary track. The
horses were handled skillfully for the first
half mile out, when a sudden lurch, a slide
and the top of the "buss" went scratching
among the underbursh and lower-boughs of
the timber by the way side. Out popped one
passenger, then another, then our better•half,
all qUicker than a boy could descend a greased
poll. But the rear end of the "buss" had only
gone off at a tangent and was hanging over
the little precipice. Dan had handed the
lines over to the Colonel, for a moment, and
away went the Colonel, somebody said twen
ty-seven feet ; Baron Munchausen could not
have done it better; into the woods below. It
took the Colimel sometime to "get out of the
woods," but when he did come he said it was
not much of an affair after all. Well, in a
moment, after a number of witticisms at the
Colonel's expense, Dan mounted the perch and
pulled the "old thing" up on the road, and we
all ensconced ourselves inside once more. The
Doctor stated that he never became excited
or nervous on such occasions—that his nerves
were as firm as the everlasting hills—we all
congratulated him on his ability to control
himself, when the only lady in the company
indiscreetly, but sympathetically, asked him
what made him look so pale ? The reflection of
the stained glass may have had something to
do with it.
At last we reached the break. Here were
some sixty or seventy men, enduring the fier
cest cold, repairing the burnt trestle. The fire
occurred on the night of the 23d ult. Au ir
regular engine had passed down over this part
of the road, between the hours of seven and
eight o'clock in the evening, and some of the
cinders from the pan are supposed to have set
it on fire. It was discovered a short time af
terwards by some boys returning from Provi
dence Church, but the report having been put
in circulation that a couple of boys had work
ed the better part of au afternoon, a year or
so ago, to extinguish a similar fire, which they
successfully accomplished, and that the rail
road company refused to allow them any com
pensation or even a complimentary pass for
their services, they gave the matter no atten
tion and went home and went to bed. Wheth
er this be true or false we know not ; we only
give it as we were told. Consequently the fire
got much headway before a report reached the
railway officials and owing to the scarcity of
water and the intensity of the heat, which is
said to have been almost unequalled, burning
up large ^ trees like so many twigs, about
three hundred feet of trestle, sixty-five feet
high, were destroyed. The gap has only been
closed up within the last couple of days and
trains are now running regularly again.
But the "buss" rolled on up the narrow road,
catching all the boughs which are overhanging
it, keeping the driver dodging like a
jumping-jack, to Brallier's Summit to the re
sidence of Mr. Brallier, who received us very
kindly, and furnished us with a most sub
stantial dinner. We then resorted to the
neighboring school house to await the arrival
of the train. Miss Blanche Irvine, of Bedford,
is in charge, and has an interesting and well
drilled school. For the first time, in a dozen
years, we tried our hand at teaching the
"young idea." It carried us back to many,
very many, pleasant hours spent in the school
room. While we were thus employed we no
ticed that our friend the Doctor was unusual
ly meditative. We afterwards learned that
he was engaged in arranging a speech for the
little folks, but no invitation having been ex
tended, we all missed a rare treat. We won't
vouch for the truth 'of this statement. We may
be doing the Doctor great injustice, or the
teacher, or the school, or all three put togeth
er. At last Grave and Dolph put iu an ap
pearance and we took the train for Hunting
don. Nothing of any note occurring save be
tug badly sold by a thick set ; good-natured
apple merchant on the cars, who came through
the train crying : "Apples! apples ! two for
five cents!" We love apples, there is no
doubt about it, not a bit of it, and we in-
vested five cents ; everybody around us in
vested five cents. The apples looked nice,
delicious. We picked up two and they felt
as hard as icicles. We said they were frozen,
"oh, no," said the merchant, and ho went on
retailing his fruit to other "greeneys" and
when he had sold out we saw him actually
walking out of the car with a great broad
grin on his dirty face 1 The fellow really en
joyed the "sell," while we took our apples
froze to the core. They were "mortial could' ,
as Father Tom would have said, but that ap•
ple boy deserves success.

SMALL-PDX 1.11 , SIX MILE RUN.—
About two months ago a worthless individual,
named Blair, was induced to leave his wife,
at Hopewell, Bedford county, for a considera
tion of fifty-dollars, she, the wife, paying the
consideration, and the community considered
it a good riddance. He left Hopewell and
went to Johnstown, where lie remained a
short time, and we suppose spent his fifty
dollars. He took sick and returned to Hope
well to his wife, and in a day or two later
small-pox manifested themselves, and the lit
tle village was terribly alarmed. The univer
sal wish of the community was that the fellow
would die, and the Doctor thought him an ex
cellent case to experiment upon, but there
were no righteous in the place, evidently,
and the man survived. He had found his
wife at the residence of our friend, George
Cartwright, and here he lay until he recover
ed. Both Cartwright and his wife took the
disease, but owing to strict sanitary regula
tions the terrible disease spread no further in
Hopewell, but while Blair was sick he was
visited by an individual named Eicbelberger,
who stopped at the hotel. An old lady from
Coaldale came down to Hopewell and stopped
at the hotel and was put into the bed previous
ly occupied by Eichelberger, and a few days
later, after her return to Coaldale, she went
down with the small-pox. No one suspected
that it was a real case of this loathsome dis
ease, but all contended that it was only a case
of chicken-pox, though the Doctor had pro
nounced it the former; the result was that in
a short space of time there were ten or a doz
en cases in Coaldale, and a death or two, and
from here it spread to North Point, where, we
learned a few days ago there are some nine
teen cases, and it may spread all over the coal
region. Thus this community has been scourg
ed through a worthless creature that was fit
for nothing else but to disseminate the horri
ble disease.
SCHOOL DIRECTORS.—Mr. Buckalew's
bill "to authorize reformed voting in the 'elec
tion of Directors of Common Schools,' has
passed the Senate. This bill contains the pro
visions recommended by Supt. Wickersham
in his annual report, and is as follows:
SECTION 1. That in all future elections of di
rectors of common schools in this common
wealth, wherever two or more persons are to
be chozen in a district for the same term of
service, each voter may giire all his votes to
one or more candidates to be voted for as he
shall think fit, and the candidates highest in
votes shall bo declared elected. Any appoint
ment to fill a vacancy in a board of directors
shall, whenever practicable, be made from
among the voters of the district who shall
have voted for the director whose place is to
be filled.
SECTION 2. Whenever a voter shall intend
to give more votes than one to any candidate
for school director, he shall express his inten
tion distinctly and clearly upon the face of
his ballot, otherwise but one vote shall be
counted and allowed to such candidate ; but
any ballot which shall contain or express a
greater number of votes than the whole num
ber to which the voter shall be entitled, shall
be rejected.
The design of this act is to take the elec
tion of school men out of partisan politics,
and to insure minority representation in the
constitution of the Board.
SCARLET FEVFR.—Saxton and the 511 r,
sounding country has been visited by scarlet
fever in a most malignant form. It has visited

NEWS FROM THE LOWER. END.—RAIL
Rom) SiTAVEYS.-The engineers who have been
locating the route for the East Broad Top Rail
Road and Coal Company have, since the meet
ing of the Bth ult., been instructed, it is said,
by the Penn'a. R. R. Company, to run a pre
liminary line, commencing at gap of Sideling
Creek, in Fulton county, and then down said
stream to its confluence with the Aughwick,
down the Aughwick to the Juniata river, and
down the Juniata to Mauayunk station on the
Penn's. Central. This survey they have near
ly completed, having but one or two short
routes to run, when they will make a full re
port of all the lines run, after which the most
practicable route, with the lowest grade, will
be adopted. If the Aughwick route is estab
lished, it will leave Orbisonia out in the cold.
Since the various lines have been run the cit
izens along the different routes are consider
ably excited and express great uneasiness.
For the last three days the mercury has been
below zero, and our streams are all well bridg
ed, so that they can be crossed at any point ;
good for surveying along the Aughwick.
The religions interest is moving on without
any abatement. Rev. Mr. Whitney, of the
Methodist church, is conducting two very in
teresting revivals in Shirleysburg and Orbiso
nia, and quite a number have professed con
version at each place. Rev. S. Alexander,
Presbyterian, is now holding a series of meet
ings in Shirleysburg with considerable en
couragement. The Rev. J. W. Evans has just
closed a meeting in Germany Valley, dur:ng
the continuance of which fourteen professed

Petitions are circulating freely and being
numerously signed, in this end of the county,
in favor of the Local Option Liquor Law.

will have due notice. I see in some of our
daily papers that some Of the ladies have

ABSENT FROM DUTY
Gen. Lane, our Representative, has been
confined to his room, at home, for the last four
days, with bilious affection, a disease that is
prevailing to considerable extent at Harris
burg. The General is now convalescent, and
has left for Harrisburg. AUGHWICIC.
COUNTY PAPERS.—The status of the
county paper is truthfully set forth in the fol
lowing, by an observing country editor:
"We sometimes meet individuals who com
plain about their county paper and cease to
take it, preferring to subscribe for a city pa
per. They do not seem to comprehend the
facts in the relation to publications and sup
port of papers. In the first place, the terms
of nearly all city papers are the same as the
county, $2 for a single copy, and the only way
they get them for less than that price is by
clubbing; and sending for a number of copies
at a time. Then again they must invariably
send the money in advance, which they sel
dom do for their county paper. But the prin
cipal difference consists in the fact that itcosts
the publisher of the county paper the same to
set his types that it does the city publisher,
and setting type is the principal expense in
publishing a newspaper of small circulation.
After the type is once set the expense is then
merely for blank paper and press work, and
the paper with a hundred thousand subscribers
has the advantage at two dollars. Of course
the large city papers containe, greater amount
of reading matter than the country papers, but
which is the most useful and interesting ? Do
they contain notices of our schools, churches,
meetings, marriages, and hundreds of other
local matters of interest which the country
papers publish without pay ? Not an item. Do
they ever say a word calculating to draw at
tention to our county and to its numerous
thriving towns, and aid in our progress and
enterprise? Not a line. And yet thereare men
who take the contracted views of this matter
that unless they are getting as many square
inches of reading matter in their county pa
pers as they do in a city paper, they are not
getting the worth of their money. It reminds
us of the person who takes the largest pair of
boots in the box, simply because they cost the
same as the pair much smaller that fit."

"now TO 00 WEST."—Forty years
ago, Illinois was as far West as most people
wished to go, and journeys were made in the
legendary "Prairie Schooner," but in these
days of Progress and Improvement, the word
West has come to mean lowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado, California and the Territories,
and the traveler reaches almost any point
therein by a splendid Line of Railroad.
This line of' Railroad is the BUELINGTON
ROUTE, which starts from Chicago over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy R. R.; from In
dionapolis over the Indianapolis, Bloomington
& Western Short Line, and from Logansport,
over the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw R. R., and
running through BURLINGTON, reaches Omaha,
Lincoln, Nebraska City, St. Joseph, Atchison,
Leavenworth and Kansas City, connecting
with the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, and
other Railroads running from those cities.
Always go "By way of Burlington," and you
will sure to be right.
The Burlington Route has admirably an
swered the question "How to go West ?" by
the publication of a truthful and interesting
document, filled with facts in regard to Time,
Connections, Accommodations, rates of Fare,
and other interesting items, and illustrated
by a large map, truthfully showing the whole
West, which they distribute free of charge.
Copies, and additional information, can be
obtained by addressing, General Passenger
