THE GAME OF SNEAKI

The Opposition are resorting to their old Know
Nothing plan of DONG their elechoneering in a
covert and secret manner. The leaders in Bed
ford have sent out written circulars COVERING
three pages of fools-cap, in which they urge
their leaders IN the country to get out the,vote,
aud say that their success will be sure. They
intend to cheat the Democrats by pretending to
be idle and to care nothing about the election
They are working harder, now, to carry this
county than they have for years. Let our
friends in the country be on their guard. There
IS a conspiracy against US which must be watch
ed. In order TO defeat it, every Democrat
must go TO the polls and yote the ,choLe Demo
cratic ticket. Let there be no splitting. or
scratching. Whenever man asks YOU TO do
that, depend on it he is in the employ of the
Opposition and wants to cheat you Look out
for Know Nothing tricks

WIN. Schafer to all who desire safe and re-
liable Treasurer. He is worthy of the support
OF every Democrat and will make fit success
sor to Maj, Davis, who is universally admitted
to De the best Treasurer we have had Tor num-
Der OF years. The Opposition will doubtless,
try to fost tickets upon Democrats, with Mr..
Ways name in place Of Mr. Schafer's. Our

We have been informed that Mr.. John Tay-

course, to secure their votes. But Mr.. TavIor
does not say anything about having given up

OBITUARY.

On the 7th inst, Mrs. Ann Bowles, in The
SD year OF her age.
She was born in Lancaster County. pa. Sen,
II, l777, and her age lacked but 10 days Of
81 full years. A life so prolonged could not
pass without many trials but il was marked,
beyond what IS usual, perhaps, by Gods boun-
ues' 0iited with unwonted physical health
ana V;gor, and endowed with a calm and peace
iui spirit, she was conducted to extreme old
age, with scarce trace Of that decav, which
commonly prepares US for ihe tomb A tall,
commanding figure, and face majestic, vet
placid and benign, gave no mournful expfes-
sion of years long past, or dissolution near at
hand.
A week before her death, the ruddy hue OF
lite had not yet faded from her cheek. and g.
ven death itself left no sad ravage there. Il
seemed almost as if her Savior God had redee-
med her ranSomed body, as well as her innoor-
tai spirit, from the power of the grave. She
made good confession of that Saviour MANY
years and before many witnesses. She Ioved.
on her sick bed, TO talk of Gods goodness and
covenant falthfulness. She magnifed his ways
and dealings with her, adored his counsels, re-
Joloed IN his salvation, and humbly submitted 10
his will. She was worthy member of the
Presbyterian church of Bedford. Her absent
Pastor Will miss her venerable form from amorg
his people, her devoted family will mourn that
true-hearted mother, whose mild face was ever
TO them as present blessing, the Rght-hearted
youth aud the strong-hearted man will often
oedew the bronzed cheek with the gushing tears
OF son, as he remembers such mother but
10 them we say, mourn not bitterly for God
has taken her to himself and you, if you are
faithful, shall follow her there.

self, we did not think it worth while TO re-

of iDuriug others, we deem it our duty TO say
that 1t as untrue in every particular. Whatev-
er political SINS we may have been guilty Of

never committed. is to the truth, or falsrty.
of this denial, we are willing TO let any Know

to reside in another State, and returning after

Poor Director.

We warn the people OF Bedford County a.
gainst the election of John Amos, the Locofoco
candidate foT Poor Director. He is in every
way unqualified for the office, and if unfortu-
nately, he should be elected, the people of the
County will regret the choice. i; IS well
known that he openly expresses the determine
ton in case Of his election, TO haze CHRISTIAN
SToUFFER, his soa-in-iaeO appointed as the MI
Ter Mr.. Stoufer, several years ago, had charge
OF the Poor House Mill, and the people know
how badly affairs were then managed, and if
they wish to return to the same state of affairs,
they will elect JOHN Amos. Remember our
prediction, as sure as he is elected, Stoufer will
be the Miller. He also intends to have his own
son appointed TO the Stewardship, and then with
the father as Director, the son as Steward, and
the son-in-law as Miller, the family OF Mr..
Amos will have things all to themselves in that
institution. Let the voters beware

The Poor House.

The Know-Nothing- ack-Republican-Abo- bo-
lition demagogues of this town, always make it
point to start some outrageous story about the
Poor House just before the election comes off.
Tins same old trick is now being tried again.
Last year they told the most unmitgated false
hoods abouts John Amos, the Democratic candi-
date for Director Of the Poor. Their stories a.
bout the Poor House this year are of the same
stripe. Read their article on John Amos, pub
ished in their paper OF Oct. 8tb, 1858, which
we append, and Judge from their wilul lying
then, of the ialsity of the statements they are
making now

G. Walker, OF Somerset county, received mile

COUNTY SURVEYOR.

We have before spoken Of lMr. Ketterman,
the Democratic nominee for County Surveyor,
as man who is we'll worthy of the support of
the people. He has made a 6rst-rate officer
and deserves TO be reelected Since his election
IN 1896, he has settled many old disputes that
had arisen between neighbors, about their boun-
daries, and has invariably given satisfaction to
all parties. He is good Surveyor, and as
calculator of areas, he has few superors. Let
the Democracy stand by him.

FINS.

GThe mongrel Opposition, we are inform
ed, do not intend holding any public meetings
in this county, this fall They are afraid to
meet the people face to face and discuss the is
sues before them. The Amalgamation vote of
Geo. w. Williams stares them in the face, and
they dare not meet his outraged constituency TO
apologize for it. But another reason why they
will not hold any meetings, is, they want to
make Democrats believe they are Indifferent TO
the result of the election, and expect BY this
game tokeep back the full Democratic vote.
Let US not De fooled by such trickery up guards
and at them
