with similar contradictions here, where the

DEATH OF COZ. David H. HorrUs.

In our last we briefly alluded to the sudden
but not unexpected demise of our much respect
ed feilow-citizen, Col. David H. Hofias, which
event took place at the Exchange Hotel on
Monday evening, between 7 aud o'clock. He
had just taken seat on the portieo Of the Ho.

the Foreign newg, when he fell back, gave a
gasp or two, aud before shose who we're seated

Col. Hofas was member Of the bar. and
was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He
graduated at Marshall College, iu Mercersburg.
after which he studied law in the Office of Wpl.
Lyon, Esq, in Bedford. Shortly after he was
admitted to practice, :he var with Mexico broke
out, and he went to that couutry as Lienton-
| ant of one of the companies composing the
Second Pennsylvania Regiment. He was in
several engagements, and acquitted himself with
great bravery.
Wien peace was declared, he returned aud

euyiable reputation as a skllful and finished
lawyer. Without wishing to draw any nyidi-
Gus comparison, we may say that as criminal
lawyer he bad few equals-no superiors. All
must remember the truly eloquent manner ia
which be defended Tracy, tried for the murder
of Robinson, in 1852, and his ingenious de-
fence Of M'him is still fresh in our memory
He was at Que time District Attorney of the
county.
AT the time of his death, he was Captain of
the "Hollidaysburg Feneibles,'' military COM
pany in which he took great pride. Immedi-
ately after his death bis company took charge
Of his remains, and removed them TO their ar
nory, where he was dressed in bis uniform.
and placed 10 metallic coffin. The armory
was draped III mourning, and the coffin elevated
on pedestal covered with pail. A Grape
canopy surmounted by an eagle was erected
over the remains. Vases of flowers were pla-
ced on the pedestal, and the coffin was covered
with the oolors of the company--tbe whole
forming ohaste anG elegant tribute which did
great credit to the Feneibles In this way he
lay in military state until Wednesday afternoon
at three O'Clock, when the funeral took place.
In the interval at least thousand persons visit
ed the Armory. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday

unanimously re-nominated by the late County
Convention. 1t is unnecessary to say anything
in his favor, as he is we'll and fayorably known
all over the County, aud will run strong vote,

contrary notwithstanding. His election is
certain. His colleague Is GEo. G. WALKER, Of
Somerset County, our other late member, who
was SO faithful in attending to the interests Of
bis constituents. lie viii receive the full vote
OF his party in this County, and viii be elected.
JoHN TAYLOR, Of Bedford Borough, the
candidate for Associate Judge, is one Of our
best aud most popular citizsus, viii make a
irstraie officer, and as ono of the Judges
should be from Bedford or vicinity, ought
to be elected: No better or stronger man is

SAMUEL j. WAY, OF Bedford Borough, tue
candidate for Treasurer, is moral, upright yaan,
and will be perfectly reliable man 10 handle
the State and County funds. lie is we'll quail
lied for tho post, by education and business
habits. Although his opponent, Dir. Shafer is
also good man, and was firm anti Lecomp-
ton and antr Buchanan man last fall, in accept
ing the nomination for Treasurer on the Lee
compton and Buchanan ticket. he renounaes
his former good principles, and, we think, be-
comes as much of Lsc0mpton man as any one.
Mr. Way is all right on the anti-Lecompton
question, aud nothing doubtful about him.
JAMES ALLISON, of Napier, is nominated
for County Surveyor. BE is an old Surveyor,
has had many years experience, and cannot be
surpassed BY any other in the County. His
character is above reproach. lie will IuG a
strong vote.
JOHN B. MILLER, of Middle Woodberry,
the candidate for Commissioner is an excellent
business man, and as such man is needed in
the Commissioners Office, the people will best
serve their interests by electing him. Besides,
the present board are all L2cofocos, and at
least one opposition should be placed shere to
watch tie others; therefore, VIC hope he may be
elected
SAMUEL SHAFER of Union, the candidate
for Poor Director, is just the man for tho post.
He is one of our best aud most intelligent far
mers, and popular wherever known. As all
the board Of Poor Directors are Locofocos, the
people viii see one of The strong reasons why
he ought to be elected
HENRY CLAY LAsHLEY Of Southampton, the
