DIED.

On the 7th inst, Mrs. AMI BowLEs, in the
SD year of her age.
She was born 10 Lancaster County, Pa,
Sept. Il, 177I, and her age lacked but 10 days
of 81 full years. A life SO prolonged could
not pass without many trials; but it was mark.
ed, beyond what is usual, perhaps, BY Coos
bounties. Gifted with unwonted physical
health and vigor, and endowed with a calm aud
peaceful spirit, she was conducted to extreme
old age, with scarce trace Of that decay,
which commonly prepares Us for the tomb. a
tall, commanding figure, and face majestic,
yet placid, benign, gave no mournful express
sion of years long past, or dissolution uear at
hand.
A week before her death, the ruddy hue of
life had not yet faded from her cheek, aud even
death itself left no sad ravage there. 1t SEEM
almost as if her Saviour God had redeemed
her ransomed body, as well as her immortal
spirit, from tae power of the grave. She made
good confession of that Saviour many years
and before many witnesses. She loved, on htr
sick bed, to talk of Gods goodness and cove
nant saithfulness. She magnifed his ways aud
dealings with her, adored his couusels, rejoiced
In bis salvation, and humbly submitted to his
will. She was worthy member Of the Pres
byterian church of Bedford Her absent Pas
tor will miss her venerable form from among
bis people, her devoted family will mourn that
true-hearted mother, whose mild face was ever
TO them as present blessing, tho light-hearted
youth and the strong-hearted man will often
bedew the bronzed cheek with the gushing tears
of son, as he Ssmembers such mother; but
TO them we say, mourn not bitterly for God
has taken her 10 himself; aud you, if you are
faithful, shall follow her there.
On the l4th ult., at the residence Of her

aged 81 years aud Q months.
On the l4th inst, Miss ELIZA ADAMS,

Gy-lt is very important for the people Of
Bedford County that there should be at least
Que member of the opposition in the Board Of
Commissioners. The debts of the County
amount to about $4,000 or $4,000. Elect
then, an opposition member in each of the Boards
of Commissioners and Poor Directors. John
B. Miller, our candidate for Commissioner, and
Samuel Shafcr, our candidate for Poor Direc-
tor, are both excellent men, and all who favor
their own interests will vote for them.

Have YOU Heard the News from

Such were the EXPLANATIONS during the

were reminded very forcibly day or two since
when the first election returns were received
from that noble little State. At that time the
election news was scattered all over the Union,
but since few locofoco managers have charge

that the State has again been carried by the
Opposition ranks, when in point of fact there
is scarcely vestige Of locofocoism left in the
gallant granite State. The American Repub-
lican governor is elected by TEN thousand
majority, and out of thirty one senators elected
this year the locofocos have elected the I'M

result iu the little Yankee State, Connecticut,
but the news has been coming so slow over the
Telegraph wires that it has almost been for

Americans and Republicans, such has been the
glorious result in your sister States; and we hope
that you will follow their example on the Sec

all parts of the State assures US that victory is
certain; but we must not rely on this too much,

WALKER AND WILLIAMS.

BY an article in the Somerset Herald and
Wing of last week, we find that our Locotoco
friends are at their old tricks. Knowing they
have 70 chance, by any fair means, to elect Ell
ther of their candidates for the Legislature,
they resort, as usual, 10 deception and misrepre-
sentation, iu the vain hope Of making few more
votes for their candidates for the Legislature
The game is this: They represent in Somerset
Bedford County arc going to vote for Williams
and Gump to the prejudice of Walker; aud in
like manner they represent in this County that
the Americans and Republicans of Somerset
County are going 10 unite on Walker and Gof-
froth, to the prejudice of Williams Ia this way
appeals are made to our friends in both counties
to desert one Of their candidates. aud support
one of tie Locofoco candidates, on the ground
of County pride. This game of deception is
too old, and too we'll understood to deceive any
body. It was tried last fall, aud often before,
and has most signally failed in every instance
Last fall our friends in Bedford County ran Mr.
Walker fully up with Mr.. Williams; and they
will do it again; and our friends in Somerset
ran Williams as they did Walker, so that we
believe the difference in the two counties was
less than twenty votes. With the Herald and
Whig we warn our friends in both counties
against all such deception; and feel we'll assur-
ed that tue game will be found to wholly fail in
It's object. Justice to Somerset, aud safety for
ourselves require that We all yoIe for both
Walker and Williams, and we will do it.

THE LATE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS
Where can Mr.. Buchanan look for consolationl
The States have all repudiated him, even to
Oregon. Texas has elected Houston Governor,
in opposition to the Administration candidate
Kentucky had twp Opposition members in the
last Congress. To the next she elected FIVE,
half the delegation. Tennessee bad only
three Opposition members out of ten in the
last Congress, now the figures are reversed,
the Opposition elscting seven and the Democ-
rscy but three. North Carolina has increased
from two to five, one half the delegation
Virginia had a united and sound Aiminis IRA
tion delegation in the lass Congress-now one
is ayowed Opposition, and the balance shaky
on Buchanan. Thus blow has followed blow
from all quarters, Lecompton being the sledge-
hammer which has shivered Buchanan Demo-

Habit,

Habit uniformly and constantly
strengthens our active exertions; what
ever we do often, we become more and
more apt to do. A snuff taker begins
with a pinch ofsnuf'per day, and ends
with pound or two every month
Swearing begins in anger; it ends by
mingl;ng itself with ordinary CONVEX
sation. Such like instances are Of too
common notoriety to need that they be
adduced; but at the very time that the
tendency to do the thing is every
day increasing; the pleasure resulting
from it is, by the blunted sensibility
Of the bodily organs, diminished, and
the desire is irresistible, though the
qualification is nothing. There is
rather an entertaining example ofthis
in FieldiDg's Life OF Jonathan Wild,
in that scene where he IS represented
as playing at cards with the Count, a
professed gambler. "Such," says Mr..
Fielding, "was the power Of habit over
these illustrious persons, that Mr..
Wild could not keep his hands out of
the Counts pockets, though he knew
they were empty; nor could the Count
abstain from palmiDg a card, though
be was well aware that Mr. Wild had
no money to pay him." ,...15 .'.-'5 y. .l' "a. .

A Yankee BugIe-PIayer in LOn-

Some ten or twelve years since, an
American bugle player concluded to,
make trip to England, to learn by
personal observation the state Of in-s
strumental music in that country. A.
day or two after his arrival in Lon
don Gin which place he was almost q
total stranger) he saw an ADVERTISE
ment in the Times for a bugle.player
in one of the regiments Of the Guards.
Our American presented himself next
morning, to the band master Of the
regiment, and introduced himself, by
saying that he had seen an advertiser
ment for .bugle, player, and he had
come to offer liimseifas canafdate
for that situation. .4.t {
The band-master, not thinking the
stranger presented very promising
appearance, treated him rather eava-i
lierly, but finally told him that there
would be a rehearsal the next morn
ing, and lie might come and show
what he could do, intimating at the.
same time that his qualifications must
be very high to obtain the place.
Nothing daunted, our American made
his appearance, with his L flat bugle
in his hand. ss.a.s.Hs5
The rehearsal commenced with o
new piece, containing a solo for the
clarionet, which the performer npon
the instrument found great difficulty
in executing. s.raaW

the band.master to play the solo upon.

having performed the prelude, the So

our hero sounded halfa.dozen notes
when everybody else ceased playing,
and listened with wonder and admi-
