THE BEDFORD RAIL ROAD:

The Engineers have just completed thor
ough survey of route, for Rail Road from
Hopewell to Bedford. They arrived in our place
on "Wednesday last, aud report the route to be
au easy and cheap one--the grade being light
er than that of the Pennsylvania Rail Road,
aud the distance only nineteen miles and few
rods. Mr.. FULToN, the Chief Engineer, will
make his Report between this and spring. In
conversation the other evening with US, be
stated that the Road could be graded and
bridged, for about $4,000. Mr.. Fulton is
an Engineer of great experience aud ability,
and bears reputation unsurpassed by that of
any other 10 the State
The business men generally of this conlmuni-
ty are favorable to its construction at an early
day. 1t is contemplated to commence the Road
sometime next spring, and carry ii on yigor-
ously until its completion.
Citizens Of Bedford County, the accomplish
mont of this great work, for the advancement
of your own interests, now depends upon
yourselves. A more favorable opportunity for
securing Rail Road, has never before been
presented, and We trust you will not let il pass
unimprovcd. Let every man take stock ac-
cording to his ability, even though it be but a
share, and the enterprise must and will sue
seed.
Maj. DAHL Washabaugh, who has done more
ihan any other man towards the accomplish
ment of the road, is still using his best exer-
fions to procure stock, and we hope aud trust
all who have not yet taken any will call on him
and subscribe at once.

FOR lNe SeuuDel
FRIEND ALLEN:-From present appearances
the Scarlet Fever will travel through the coun-
try this spiing, and cause many hearts to ache
by its rough dealing with the children.
On the first appearance Of this plague the
sick one should be placed on bed or pallet so
close to the fire that he will have once in while
to draw his feet up; the room in the centre
should be about summer heat, 76 deg
Cayenne should be his principal medicine
haitian ounce is sufficient for half gallon OF tea
1t should be made with boiling water. The
patient should take from Que to four table
spoons ll--Ths should be regulated by the
age of the patient, from one year old to twenty
These doses should be taken in general way
about once in two hours. If at any time the
patient becomes delirious, use enough relaxing
medicine, such as Lobelia, to keep him in his
senses.
Keep his feet as close to the fire rs he can
bear them.
Keep four or five thckncsses of flannel around
his neck and the same number over the head
and jaws-thcy should be kept tight enough
to RIB all the time.
Let one good attendant be on hands, who
ty did not require their attention.
tits a little better to have the room dark
especially at night.
In about fifty hours the disease will show it.
sslf sometimes in the throat, som etimes on the
skin, sometimes by Darrhoea, and sometimes
by all combined: but hang on, remember the
best way is as good as any; and very few graves
need be filled by the darlings ofhearts from that
scourge.
Avoid physc as you would rattle snake,
and cold applications to the patient as you
would mad dog.
When Scarlet Fever is ready to lay hold of
the patient it appears that the system is filled
with corruption, and needs all the fire that can
be infused into it, to expel the virus.
Free use ofCayenne enables the patient to
bear heat. the very thing that he needs. }
The sick one should have all the fresh water
that he wishes. A mixture ofvinegar, salt and
black pepper should be kept on hand and the
patient offered small portion two or three
times day
Remember that Cayenne is your lead horse
and Lobe!ia is at the wheel,
When the patient asks for anything to eat
let him have it, but if he has been long without
food he ought to touch it lightly at first. Thy

permitted to say that, in our judgement, he,
whoever he may be, protesting to act with the

of Democracy are too limited, and whose views
are too sectional to allow him ultimately to

too weak and whose nerves are too feeble to

Black Republican advising NEur-
flor.

Black Republican ADVISING NTur-
To sucha low depth OF degradation has the black
republican party como, that its latest move is to
advise its desperate followers to murder men OF
opposite opinions,if by so doing it can gain pow
er.
I. The New York Tri5ars, a paper that nearly
every black republican clergyman in Harrison
county il subscriber to, in late number has
the following
We are opposed to killing men when there is
any other possible way Of keeping them out Of
mischief; but the leading Border Ruffians Of
Kansas will have to be used up. 1t is not pos
sible that they and honest men should live in
the same community The telegraph reports a
slight beginning Of the necessary lco'k. The
Rutfilns will either stop cheating forthwith, or
stop breathing, and will not be allowed many
more days in which to indicate their choice
Tribune.
The Cincinnati Cammrcial. Gov. Chase's pri.
vate organ, thus approves Of murder recently
{ committed in Kansas
sroRER, Democratic member of the Kansas
Senate (called CounciD under tho Lecompton
swindle, elected by fraudulent returns, who was
\ shot the other day, is dead. AS there was but
one Democratic majority in the Senate, this
event makes the pprties even in that body.
iai The black republicans that advise and rejoice
over murder, is the same party that boast that
it has within It's folds, "aIl the pety, morality
and virtue there is in thecountry." The above
extracts shows the kind Of morality, virtue and
piety'' this black republican party contains We
desire them tokeep that kind Of morality virtue
and piety" within its own portals Thank God
the Democratic party needs no such patterns o
s'naorality, virtue and piety." That is the party
700 that putson religious airs when it talks a
. bout the politics Of the country. Show us a
& pretended pious black republican political Draw
Ter, and We will show you as base hypocritc as
ever the sun shone upon. The loading princi-
2 ple ofblack republlcanism is hypocricy; and III
leaders carry it tout to the letter.
