The circumstances surrounding this death
we're truly melancholy. The parents with
the deceased, and her little brother were on
a visit to Bedford, and whilst in the midst
of home enjoyments, the Scarlet fever, that
fell destroyer Of children, carried off lis VIC
tim, leaving the hearts of parents and many
friends sad and disconsolate.

consolation only where it can be found in
the promises of Christ, whose abode is MOI

1t is most undoubted fact that DR.. San
ford's Tnvlgorator, or Liver Remedy is one
Of the greatest discoveries made in medicine
the past century. 1t has been study of
the Dir. during twenty years practice to find
wh4r particular organ, when diseased caused
the greatest number Of Ills or pains,a and his
conclusion is, that the liver is the greatest
regulator of the system aud the most liable
to disease, while if kept free from disease is
a preventative of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, gem
eral debility. &c., while last but far from
least we mention consumption; for our ex-
perienee is that more cases of consumption
occur from diseased liver than from all 9th
er causes put together.
Taking this to be correct hypothesis, we
have bat to find u remedy with which to
correct the liver, and we have cure of
nearly all the diseases we are subject to by
simply using preventative. Fhat the In
yigoretor is such remedy, is beyond doubt
to all who try it,for its virtues are such that
for all complaints arising from liver derange-
ments, it is an unfailing remedy, while as
family medicine, for all diseases of the
stomach or bowels, which are caused in a
greater or less degree by liver arrangement,
it is the safest, surest and most efhcacious
remedy known.-For sale by DIR. Harry

A BIT OF FUN /!

1t was truly laughable to see the ecstacy
of some of the I4ocofocos in this place on
Tuesday afternoon. After the Conference
had adjourned to meet on Wednesday, and
when the Looofoeos thought there would be
n split, John Cessna, who would give ten
years of lis life TO get to the Senate, could
be seen in every direction, pickin' at has
lips and nose, and in the greatest glee.-
He was even so bold, thinking, probably,
that he was unknown to the Huntingdon
.Coufcrecs, as to invade their ptlVaey, aud
set down near them to oVerhear what they
we're talking about, but be was known, not
couptenanced. and soon sneaked off. Mag.
Tate was smiling all over bis tace. and
prophesyiug Locofoco Senator, and Bow
nan was very busy, promising all manner OF
things, if Huntingdon would kick, but 1t
was 10 60, and they we're doomed to disap-
pointm4nt. Bowman found Mr.. Stewart to
be too honorable man TO be tampered with
by such contemplate creature as himself.
On Wednesday morning, after the nomh'a-
ton was made, they all looked chop-iaiien,
and sueaked back to their holes.

of Huntington Comfy for the office of Sen

ees of that County, and one of the Bedford

ceived the nomination. We speak the SEN
tinents of all our friends with whom we

PACKERS "BACK oUT!!n

Some of the Locofoco papers are ex-
tremely mortified at the inglorious "baek
out'' Of their candidate, Wm. +. Packer,
after all the boasts and banters that were
made by him and his friends, both before
and after his nomination. The Holidays
burg Standard, one of the most radical Lo-
cofoco papers in the State, speaks in this
way, in its issue of hast week:
sQuite diversity of opinion exists in the
public mind upon this subject, and many
Democrats condepln, while others applaud
the action of the committee. Whilst we
agree that the arguments presented for the
declination of the challenge are good and
sufficient, We cannot resist the impression
that Its acceptance would have been the bet
ter policy. Ii would at least have spared
Gen. Packer from the charge of cowardice
Ia charge which the opposition press are,
one and all, seeking to fasten upon him, and
one which cannot be reasoned nor rubbed

DEATH OF SENATOR RDsK, or JExAs.
Tile citizens Of this community, says the
National Intelligencer of the 9th inst have
rarely been called upon to deplore an un-
expected event more sincerely than the death
of the Hon. Thomas }. Rusk, one Of the
Senators from Texas. We regret to learn
that he came to his death by his own hands,
having shot himself through the head with a
rifle. He was in bis third Senatorial term,
and no member of that body commanded
consideration or enjoyed a greater degree OF
confidence and esteem, not only of bis asso-
ciates, but of the country. Combined with
fine intelligence and courtesy always pres
ent, there was manly frankness and SIN
cerity in all he did which gave him de-
served and useful influence. The Senate
evinced its high appreciation of his merits at
the close its last session by electiug him
President pro tenn, of that body, post
which has been graced by the best intel
lects of the nation.

the following ariiclei ia relation to Mac

ford. The proprieiors If the Bedford
Springs offer to appropriate S20, ,000 to the
enterprise, and as $4,000 is thought TO be
sufficieu. to convert the present road into a
AIacademized Road, the citizens of Bedford
County and Maryland will be able, and we
ba,e no doubt willing to appropriate the re-
nlainder
MACADEMIZED ReAD TO BEDFORD
We learn that it is contemplated TO make u
Macademized Road from Cumberland to
Bedford. The proprietors of the Bedford
Springs propose apprnpriating $4,000 to-
wards the work us far as the Maryland line,
aud also a number of the citizens of Bed
ford and those residing along the line Of the
road are expected to subscribe fair pro-
portion, which will be sufficient to complete
the road as far as the State line, t23 miles,
leaving the ballnee Of miles 10 be made
by the citizens of Cumberland and Allegany
county. The importance of such road,
as contemplated, is nlatter obvious to all;
and the great benefits and many adeanla-
ges which viii be derived by our city from
this Improvement, should at once stimulate
our men of afluence to literally aid in lis
construction. Ii is estimated thai $50, 900
is amply sufficient to-eouvert the present
road, running from this city TO Bedford,
into good Macadclnized or turnpike road
Twenty five thousand dollars of this amount
can be raised from the Penusylvanians,
leaving only $4,000 to be supplied by
Mar, llndels, which is an Insignificant sun,
when compared 10 the large trade our city
already derives from that section of conn
try, through which the road extends, and
which will be more than doubly increased
wleu it is flushed. We hope the affair will
be taken hold of in tie right spirit, and
that men Of enterprise and experience will
at OH. give it their attention.

majority this fall, that will astonish the ma

mode of arriving at the result In October,
namely to take the entire vote of the coun-
try,and deduct therefrom twelve Post Mas
