As was to be expected, the Fayette coun
ty jury that tried Archibald Buchanan, of

of not guilty. Buchanan was a Democratic

was charged with beingdrunk while serving

amined tickets, and with general miscon
duct as an election officer. The testimony
of a number of good men was offered, sub
stanti.iting the charges. The attorneys for
the defendant snoceeIed in arousing the
partisan feelings of the jury, and the result
was an acquittal. The Courier, in speaking
of the matter, says that the verdict "is a
matter of surprise and indignation, in the
fare of the evidence."

n Thursday night a number of young
men and boys were coasting on the hill at
the east end of Main street. Abont 9 o'clock,
when most of the little chaps had left, a
number of the larger boys captured a two
horse sled which was laboriously dragged to
the top of the hill, piled full of yelling,
struggling, merry boys, and with "one, two,
three and away," started down the icy
hill at a rate of speed that would have sham
ed the "limited." When about half way
down on the third trip, the aled came into
collision with small jumper being drawn
up the hill by Joe Love. The large sled
was overturned and the boys sent sprawling
in all directions. Love was thrown violent
ly to the side of the mad. where he lay per
fectly unconscious. He was picked up and
carried into Mr. Tark Trent's shop, where
kind hands attended him. After twenty
minutes anxious wore he was revived and
removed to his home. Art. Snyder and
Tom. Henley, two of the boys on the Urge
sled were hurled to the ground with such
force as to be stunned. Snyder was assisted
to bis father's house and has been confined
to bed ever since. Heflley, although terri
bly sore and badly braised, was able to be at
his case in the Democrat office on the follow
' ing morning.

A Pittsburgh coal operator is erecting a
plant of ovens at Imperial that will, if suc
cessful, revolutionize the coke business and
create a Hurry In natural and artificial gas
circles. The object of the oveu is to utilize
all the products of the combustion of coal in
the manufacture of coke ; in other words,
instead of making coke at the mine, it is
proposed to locate the oveus alongside of
the furnaces and rolling mills, so that the
gas may be all collected and used in the
mills for fuel and the coke used in the fur
naces. The idea is to nse bituminous slack,
uow unmerchantable owing to natural gas.
The claim is made for the ovens that fur ev
ery ton of coal they realize lOgallons of coal
oil, 19,000 feet of fuel gas and .T5 bushels of
coke.
We are in receipt of a communication
from Casselman giving the substance of an
order issued by the Directors of 1'pper Tur
keyfoot Township, forbidding night gather
ings at the Casselman school house. Our
correspondent claims that the order is issued
for the purpose of preventing the meeting of
the Casselman literary society, and is ex
ceedingly vexed thereat. The communica
tion is not published tor the reason that
many things are said in it which are not cal
culated to do good, but to stir np strife on
the banks of the turbid Casselman. A well
conducted literary society is considered a
great aid in training young men for after
life by many of the best educators of the
State, and we doubt not that if the matter is
presented to the school board in tha proper
light, the obnoxious order will be promptly
countermanded.

A disastrous fire, that at one time threat
ened the destruction of the entire eastern
end of the town, broke out in the old " Ris
ing Sun " building in Bedford, last week.
The "King's House" or " Rising Sun," as
it was called at a later day, stood on the
corner f Pitt street and Mann's square.
The south end of the building was of brick,
the centre pert of logs, weatber-loarded,
and the north end of stone. It was occu
pied by Harry Gilchrist, confectioner, R. B.
Metcalfe, saddler and tiphoisterer, J. M.
Hoffrr. jeweler, Mrs. A. W. Anderson and
her family of three children, and John Har
ris and his two daughters. The flames were
communicated to the house occupied by
Dexter White's restaurant, and both buili
ings were totally destroyed. The uninsur
ed loss is about $21,0C0. The (inzette says
that the log part was the building which
geryed as headquarters lor the commandant
of old Fort Bedford' in the days when sav
age beasts, bled and quadruped, roamed the
trackless forests hereabouts. In 1794 nn
army was sent from Philadelphia that city
being then the seat of government to put
down the Whiskey Insurrection which had
broken out in Western Pennsylvania. Gen.
Washington accompanied the army as far
as Bedford, and with him came Alexander
Hamilton, Secretary of the treasury. Gen.
Henry Knox, secreiary of war, and other
distinguished men of that day. They rested
for a time in the commandant's house be
fore setting out on their return trip to Phil
adelphia. The old bouse was Bedford's
most interesting relic, for its walls had beard
the gentle voice of the immortal Washing
ton and the eloquence of the great Hamil
ton. Fakct Christmas Goods. Silk and cash

If the Inipiirer tells the truth, a few days
ago a couple of sons of Fred. Zimmers, of
Bedford coanty, went to the woods to chop

they were surprised to find snakes crawling

snakes, somewhat stiff in the joints, were
killed by the boys. Theii nest was sur
rounded by ire, atid consequently they had
rather a cool bed. -

The Directors'say : 'This, it is believed,
is the first report made under the said Act,
and owing to tbe lack of precedent and dattt,
and to the imperfect manner in which the
records of the said institution were kept for
many years, a great deal of trouble and dif
ficulty was experienced in preparing the re
port, especially in procuring the dates of
admission and tha ages of the persons sup
ported or assisted, and in many cases it was
impossible to ascertain tbe day and month
when they were admitted or assisted, and
in a lacge number of cases the ages are only
approximated. With this report as a basis
and with such improvements thereon as
time and experience will necessarily indi
cate, future annual reports can be prepared
with much less trouble andgreater accuracy.

J. J. Zimmerman contemplates building
himself a fine residence on his Keachly
farm.
Our old butcher, J. P. Khoads, is again
plyinehis trade ; he sells his meat in Johns
town.
The new tax law is the subject of general
conversation, being condemned by nearly
everybody, both rich and poor.
Jacob Zimmermnn, Jr., last week purchas
ed a valuable farm from Mary Ankeny, be
ing the one occupied by her son Alonzo, the
consideration being$5.0nO. He contemplate?
making some needed improvements.
Cornelius Buechley is busily engaged in
putting out coal. He had a full supply on
hand, but the few days of good sledding
cleaned them all out forhiin. There is al
ways a demand for a strictly first-class ar
ticle.
The only business in this section that ap
pears to have any life in it, is coal and lime.
Kni inert, Lohr & Co. have rented Philip
Mowry's quarry. They work four, and
some days five men, and yet are unable to
supply the demand for lime.
On Friday, the 11th inst. Alex Casebeer
met with a serious accident by falling on
the ice, crashing his left hand, and other
wise injuring himself. His wounds were
dressed by Dr. Joseph Covode, of Jenner X
Roads, and he is now doing as well as could
be expected.
During last fall Mr. XX. D. Lohr opened
out a coal and lime quarry. He says the
coal is of first class quality and, still im
proving, while the lime is of the very best in
the county. This adds largely to the value
of bis already valuable farm. The quarry
is now being worked by Frank Dawson, his
son-in-law.

the fact however that success could not have
been attained without the co-operation, in

dose of another year, which has been on the
whole entirely satisfactory. Accept again
our heartfelt thanks for favors already re
ceived at your hands, and rest assured that
not a stone shall be left unturned to merit a
continuence of your valued patronage. To
say that our losses by fires, ftwoin number),
together with those of insolvent debtors, and
otherwise, from the beginning would bny
one of the best farms in Somerset Township,
is not simply imagination nor is it exagger
ation, yet we are still on our feet, and come !

Father Weigle was united in matrimony
with Sarah Ileinian March 6th, 183G. The
fruits of this union are eleven children, seventy-two
grandchildren and four great-grand
children. He was a faithful husband and a
kind father. As a citizen of this county he
was well and favorably known. His habits
of life were few and unostentatious, and his
demeanor towards all with whom he came
in contact was kind and courteous. For 79
years be was an exemplary, faithful member
of the Lntherun Church, always contribut
ing liberally of his means, and acting in
whatever way he could for her prosperity,
temporal and spiritual. The family, com
munity and churcB have consequently sus
tained a great loss in his death. Asa trib
ute of respect an unusually large concourse
of people attended the funeral services. His
end, after a long life of weariness and trial,
was in peace. Interment at Berlin.
