Local and Miscellaneous.


-. EARLY VEGETABLEs.-MR john FLEM-
ING, Gardener at the Bedford Springs, brought
US, few days ago, some fine specimens OF fuII
groaOn peas raised by him the present season.
Accompanying these extraordinary peas, was
stalk OF asparagus an inch in thickness. Truly
the soil of Old Bedford is productive
-. We learn with profound regret, of the
decease of NICHOLAS KEGG, ESQ.,, of Juniata 'tp.
Mr.. KEGe was useful and highly respected
citizen. We knew him Intimately Tor tue last
few years, and found in bis character the vir-
tues OF Christian gentleman, and frequently
had occasion to admire his kindness of heart and
generous nature. May he rest IN peace
-. ."RAlN RAIN RAIN VIII it never
cease raining 2" is the halt-angry question upon
the lips of many, who have grown somewhat
weary OF the pluvIous state of the weather.
The fact is that we have had little more mois-
ture than we could relish, but June rams are
infinitely preferable to June frosts. So, like
the old fellow who, being troubled at intervals
with number of painful diseases, thanked bis
stars that he had not all of them at once, let us
be thankful that we have nothing worse to COM
plain of than the bounteous rain.
-. The Regimental Parade at Bloody Run,
on Tuesday last, came off in fine style. Three
companies were in attendance, the Hopewell
Rifemen, Bloody Run Blues and CIearvile
Blues, and also a portion OF the Cumberland
Valley Blues. The regiment was formed into
line by Adjutant Gump, and commanded by
Col. Thomas W. Horton, assisted by Lieut. Col.
Tate, Maj. Dibert and Capt. JOS Reed, Aid to
Col. Horton.
The new company, Clearvlle Blues, Capt.
MIxell, was organized by Maj. SAMSON, the
the Brigade Inspector, and made a very fine
appearance. The CIearvile boys deserve great
credit tor the manner IN which they have got.
ten up their company. Military displays are
becoming quite fashionable IN Bedford county,
and we think the Major General of this Divi.
sion should recognize this spirit of enterprise on
the part ofour Military, by giving US an en-
camPment during the summer, or fall. What
say you, General Bell!
-. "A SLY FELLow.-We observe by the lisi
OF arrivals at the Cross Keys Hotel, McCon.
nelsburg, as published in the Fulton Repu5L,-
can, that "Dr. C. N. Hickok and yife,n o
Bedford, have been stopping at that place
The Doctor is sly fellow and needs watching
He has returned to this place and insists tha
the registration at the "Cross Keys" is incor.
rect. We see, also, that be has subsidized the
local OF the Fulton Democrat, who pretends 4
correct the Hotel register.
-. 1t will oe seen by reference TO an arti
Gle in to-day's Gazate,ove the signature o
JOHN CESSNA, ESQ.,, that that gentleman
declines TO allow bis name to be used in con.
nection with the Democratic nomination fol
Congress. MIR. Cessna's letter breathes III,
spirit of true Democrat, and its temper i
emlnently worthy of emulation on the par. o
those who sometimes suffer their persona
ambition TO override the interests and weIfar,
OF their party.
The Democratic delegate election
which are 10 come off in a short time throuob
out the county, should be conducted in a spIri
OF harmony and mutual concession. 1t shoul
be the object of the County Convention to pro
mote The interests OF the party, rather than o
individuals. Let there be good ticke
nominated, the merits and dement's of the re-
spective candidates fairly and fearlessl,
weighed in the balance OF justice, and all will
be well.
