DIED.

In this place, on the 29th August, ult., at
the residence Of her son-in-law, Hon. Samuel
l.. Russell, Mrs. ELIZA NJ. MONTGOMERY. of
Harrisburg, aged about % years.
The deceased had been in delicate health for
some months, but had come ua ~ a short visit
to her daughter, anticipating pleasant time,
and hoping to be benefited by the heslicg in
fiuences of our Springs. But Providence bad,
ordered it otherwise, and she died, after short
illness, away from her home, aud yet surround
ed by her children, who, like nnistering an
gels, gathered around the couch of their deyo-
most exemplary member of the Methodist Epis-
eopal Church for many years, and gave to all
the highest evidence of the soundncss of her
faith BY her holy walk and conversation, and
by the truly christian performance of all the
sacred duties of sister, wife and mother
Weep not for her, but for those OF her house
hold, whose loss is irreparable.
In this Borough, on Tuesday evening, the
9TH inst, Mrs MARGARET DAVIS, wife Of Mr..
John Davis, of st. Louis, Mo-, and daughter
of Elijah Adams, Esq, of Bedford, in the 35th
year of her age.
The subject of this notice was remarkable
for a goodness Of heart, and u suaviiy OF man
ners, that eadeareG her to a largo circle Of ac-
quaintances. Ii has been said of her, with
much truth, that ''she never spoke i'll of
neighbor." The world of fashion had no
charms for her; she choose rather to ssshine''
around her own freside as wifs and mother.
The crowning act of her life-the theme of |
SO general remark, was the filial affection she
exhibited, and the sacrifices she made, to rem
der the declining years of an aged parent
peaceful and happy.
Although not member of any church, she /
died IN great peace, having experienced the
consoling Influence of Divine Mercy few days |
before her death. sfOh, Death, where is thy |

COUNTY DEBT $4,000 AND UPWARDS
Who is Responsible i!

fHc 5ooby still tries to create the impression
that the late Treasurer was The cause of the
County borrowing the $5,000,o0 last spring.
The Gazette shows that the County owed the
State at the end of Taylor's term, Sl490 81
This IS irue, and in our term We paid his
amount off, $il30 90 to VIM, Hartley, and
$4,000 70 Wm. M. Halls ex or,makingi in all
S3070 81, and the Gazette states wtae is a
fact, that tie Commissioners only paid over to
US $2375 y, nearly 500 90 loss than we
paid OIL County indebtedness But that paper
says that Major Davis, the prcsout Treasurer,
''raid, for the same said David Over" the
amount Of $50 25 to the State Treasurer
That paper had better not mentioned the lat
ter. The facts of this item are these: The I4o.
cofoco Commissioners, and their Clerk, asses
ssd the fares Of the County too low, according
10 the rafuafioa Of The Locofoco Board of Rev
erae Commissioners, blythe amount of $50 25.
1t was not levied on the Ceunty--is was not
charged to the Collectors-it was not charged
to the editor of this paper as Treasurer, and
the State beld the County for the amount. and
the 'a7aaaissioners had to pay iH Thus BY
the gross tungting and stupidity of the Loco
tooo Commissioners aud Clerk, the County lost
S8l0.25 in one iale transaction While on
tais point, We will mention another small item.
ab ss~ 8 holds tbe County for nearly $500
z12fe, foF Waieh the Commissioners improperfy
eaaaerate9 Collectors, and hough it is charged
tc me late Treasurer, the Coanty will have to
pay 1t! Here are only two items in which the
County loses about $4,000 6y The stupid,ty
and carefessness Of the Locofoco officers -, So
much for that
We also paid in our term to the Western
Pcnitentiary, on Check Of the Commissioners.
S23I.23, an unusual expenditure, for We be-
lIeve the County had not been called on for ten
years for any money for that institution. We
also paid four or five hundred dollars interest
on borrowed money 10 our term.
The booby states that the indebtedness Of the |
County to the State was more tllan doubled in
Our terni If it was, whose fault is it? Do
We oct Show above that we paid in the neigh |
oorhood of $1,000 90 Of T.ocofoeo debt and

''bungling" and stupidity of the Locofoco

That paper charges this altogether on the

We call the attention Of all our readers,
Democrats and oil others, to the speech Of Col.
Forney. He has been for years the Leading
Democrat in this State, but differs now with
the President, on Lecomptcn, and he proves
conclusively that the position of the anti-Le-
compton Democrats is thescorrcct one.

it is improperly expended, they are the cause;
and we contend that money has been improper
ly expended, within the last few years whilst
we were Treasurer, before and since, and the
Treasurer cannot prevent it any more than the
man in the moon. The Commissioners send
the check to the Treasurer, it is his duty to
pay it, and he does not know whether they are
allowing just bill or not. If the County has
spent SO much lately, we have to thank the l4o-
cofocn officers, who allow the bills, and none
other.
When the opposition came into power,
few years ago, The dsbf Of the County acas $4,-
660.26-t they paid off about 81 10000 and
since the lsocofocos have again come into pow
er, ttes hare run the debt up 10 betUsen S.
10000 and 100000; and not dollar is-
now in the Treasury Is it not time the pee
pie should make change
The Gazette mentions some Collectors as be-
ing back, and says they are all opposition
Among others ho names tho Collector of Cole
rain, for S46556. Mr.. James was appointed,
but MIR. Gump took the job off his hands, and
Squire Gump is Locofoco, and it is he that
owes the County. We could name the Loco
foeo Collectors for S. and NJ Woodberry,
southampton, Cumberland Valley, Londonder-
ry, East Providence, &C., &C., for last and 9th
er years, all Locofocos, aud owing the County
equally MS much as those that paper has named.
We again put the following questions to the
Loeofoeo party, as they have not yet been an
svcred;
What is the amount OF Indebtedness of the
! County Of Bedford?
How mony thousands of dollars wero bor-
rowed last Spring!
| How many hundreds of dollars, yearly,
has been paid, in the last two or three years.
| for repairing the Court House and Jail
Why they have, during this whole year,
and in these hard times, man tiDkerlng about
the public buildings
How many hundreds of dollars will these
bindings cost this year, ~ to this time
How many will they cost till the end Of
! The year
Why they don't stop this unnecessary ex-
| pense, when there is not dollar in the Treas
ury to pay the smallest amounts
Whether it is right, teeausc this tinker a
few years ago turned Locofoco, that he should
be psnsioned off the whole county, aud be al
lowed bis own prices
Whether this work is not altogether un-
necessary, and costs double as much as il
ought?
And whether Locofocoism is not the
cause of the vast Indebtedness of our County
and State, and also the cause cf the present

The VALUE OF NosE.-A nose ia itself,
detached from face, is apparently of very lit
tie value, and yet there are very few persons
who would be willing to exchange their nose
for all the ready cash III the vaults of specie
paying bank. A very clever story of nose
is told by Klopstock, the celebrated German
author. a young fellow was desperately enam.
ored of young lady, and his affection was
reciproeated. She was worth twenty thousand
thalers in her own right. while be was worth
''nary red." For this reason her guardian
objected to the match In his desperation he
consulted crafty old Lawyer, who heard his
story, and then told him he would put him
through for prospective fee, and he was as
good rs his word He first asked the Young
lover if he would agree 10 take twenty ihous-
and thalers FOR HIS NOSE To this the young
fellow gave decided nay. Old Foxy the At
torney then went to the Guardian, aud told
him that it was all s'hum'' about his young
friend being SO poor, that to his certain knowl-
edge he had one jewel alone for which he RE-
FUSED twenty thousand thalers This satisf-
ed the Guardian, and the wedding came off,
Of course, when he got sight of the jewel he
swore some.
Speaking of noses, and their positive aud
value, read the affidavit of Mr.. ID.
McCreary in to-day's paper. He has been so
unfortunate as to lose his nose, but fortunate
enough to get hold of LINDsEY's IMPROVED
BLOOD SEARoHER, which has not only saved
The balance of his face, but actually prevent
I'd one of the most lingering. painful and
horrible deaths imaginable. Read the affida- /
nd. The man is known, and the marks on his
ace attest the truth of his statement

Andrew Jackson gave one of the best rea-
sons that was ever addressed to those who 60
for a dissolution of the UaiOp, on the ground
of e1pediency. He said that the same spirit
of discord and discomfort would be at work
in a new confederacy as in the old, and thai
division would be followed up by sub divi-
sion, until We become split mp in twenty or
thirty independent sovereign,ies like the pet
~ republics of South America. We see al
ready a manifestation Of what D!sunlon
would bring in the effort in the Montgomery
Convention to rule Virginia and four or five
Southern States out OF the ranks oil the
South. and to enrol them on the list OF dis
trusted States. If any one will recur to tbe
debates of the Virginia Convention Of le29,
or even those of the last Figinin Convention,
be will see abundant evidence Of a sectional
autagouism in Virginia that, in the event OF
Disupion, might threaten the division OF our
own Commonwealth. Let the experiment
be tried of q grand Southern Confederacy,
composed Of half of a country which is just
becoming o Power among the Nations, aud
We shall See the same causes at work, the
same principles of decay and dissolution,
which menace our present organIzatlon.--
