SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
DIRECTORS
OF rHs
HUNTINGDON AND BROAD TOP
MOUNTAIN
RAILROAD AND COAL COMPANY
THE STOCKHOLDERS.

Atthe date OF our last Annual Report there
had been somewhat Of a revival IN both the coal
and iron trade, and the prospect tor business
was rather encouraging.
During the winter the demand for Broad Top
coal was quite fair for tn. season, but IN the
spring, the demand for manufactured iron fall
ing off, the orders from rolling mills for coal
tell off proportion, and up to The first week
10 August the trade was 10 languishlng con-
dition.
Since that time The demand from both rail-
roads and manufacturers has been quite active,
bat owing to the greatly increased business OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company they
have been unable TO give US anything like an
adequate supply Of cars. From this cause
alone we estimat the loss OF tonnage at 10000
tons. They are now building large number
oil trucks. wbch 1t IS hoped will SIMPLY this de-
fciency Hereafter.
For the receipts and expenditures of Road
and Mines, and Tor the tonnage, as compared
with former years, we refer you to The annex

THE SPRING ELECTIONS.
GAINS FOR THE DEMOCRACY I!

The scribblers for the Bedford Abolition or
gan, with their wonted impudence and effron-
iery, claim that the result OF the township elec-
tions, in this county, is favorable TO their par
ty. Had they been beatenn ever 50 badly, they
would still claim victory. To do this is part
oftheir tactics. They have great faith in Brag,
forgetting that though he is a sgood dog, :"
'.Hoid On is better" Every spring time we
are called upon TO contadic. their fsh-stories
about little township and borough elections.
Every APri!-fooIs-day, their prophets utter their
stereoiyped civilizations of coming triumph
aud predict that the county will be theirs at the
next election. We are sorry that we are egain
compelled 10 dsenchant the minds Of these ia
happy political seegs, but duty blds, and per-
force, we mus: fulfil the task. We propose,
therefore, IS the gentlest manner 10 which tie
truth can be brought to bear upon their minds,

Showing decrease in Mine rent, S6,366 03
This has been from the following causes -
In 1858 Mr Powell, the largest shipper Of The
region worked portion of the Company's lands
as well as his own. HIS shipments for 1859
were entirely from his own lands.
During a good portion OF the summer The
lessees of the Company were short Of orders for
coal, and in two of their colleries an alteration
in the gangweys was necessary, the expense
Of which, in the dull state of the trade, 1t was
not thought advisable to incur. These difficult
ties have since been in a great measure over
come, and there is a prospect OF large in
crease Of shipments and OF revenue from all
the ComPany's coil!efles the present season.
Prospect Colliery, leased to L. B. Wigtoa,
ESQ, and under the supervision Of Mr.. John
| Whitney, is in excellent condition, and its
capacity large-with some little outlay the
/ Company wiil soon have three other collier
les in good working condition. They have
! also a joint interest, with Mr.. Blair, in an
excellent colliery.
The drawbacks upon coal, Philadelphia
Office rent, salaries, insurance, and incidental
expenses amount to $6,729 y. These were
paid at the office here and are not included in
the expenditures ofthe Road, as made by the
| Superintendent.
The Road is now in good repair, The bridges
having been we'll braced, and the deep cuts
widened, and thoroughly drained during the
year.
At no time since the opening of the Road
has any accident occurred from the running Of
trains resulting in the loss of life to passengers
or employees, or any serious pecuniary loss to
the Company.
There are now upon the Road six lncomo-
iiveS, two OF which are undergoing thorough
repair. The others are in good condition. With
the pros pect Of considerable increase in bus-
pess the coming season, It is probable that
additional motive power will be wanted. 70
avoid the purchase Of locomotives until The
Company Is relieved from embarrassment, an
agreement has been made with the Pennsylva-
ma Railroad Company to have the trains, in
tended to pass over their road, made up at Sax
ION, they sending their locomotives and bring
| ing the empty cars to that point. This will,
| we think, be found to work advantageously to
both parties, and will obviate any necessity for
the purchase of additional motive power.
The Company have 100 coal cars, dumps,
which are run between the Mines and Hunfing-
don for the supply of the canal trade. These
are scarcely sufficient 10 meet the demand for
shipments by canal, but as several of the opera
tors propose TO build cars, we think there will
be no necessity for any purchase on the part of
the Company.
Broad Top Coal intended for shipments east
oi Philadelphia is now brought down in Read
ing cars via Lebanon Valley and Reading Rail-
road TO Port Richmond. Since September last
the Reading Railroad Company have furnished
fair supply OF cars for this trade, and will
probably meet any future increase there NAV

DemocfatIc MAJ. IIS
In some OF the townships there were several
candidates for Inspector, belonging to the same
party. In such townships, the vote polIed
by the different candidates belonging TO one
party Is added together, as showing the true
strength OF such party. For instance in West
Providence, there were two "Republcan" can
didates Tor Inspector, whose vote added togeth-
er makes 80 as above. In Bedford township
there were two Democratic candidates; as also
IN Snake Spring and Londonderry.
We submit this table as being as correct
statement Of the party vots at the recent Spring
elections 10 this county, bc made fS9ns
the official returns. This exhibit when com
pared with the TTresult Of last lalPs election,
| shows Democratic gain of 78 votes, onl ay
| erage majority at that election having been a.
| bout 100. But this Is only faint indication
of the revolution going on throughout the couu-
ty in favor Of the Democratic party. This
victory was won without any exertion On the
part OF the Democracy. Whilst the opposition
wire-pullers in Bedford borough, busted them
selves IN writing letters TO every election dis
trict, calling upon their voters to turn out, the
Democracy OF the different townships fought
their own battles. Far different will it be
when the thunter-drums OF the Gubernatorial
and Presidential campaigns shall be heard. Far
more glorious vii. Be lie result, when every
Democrat il the county shall march % the
polls TO do his duty. Then, instead of
80, L'ttle Juniata will roll up 100 ma
Jorjyy instead Of 80, Old southampton will
give US 100; and "Little Berks'' will increase
hers 10 200, whilst Bedford, Colerain, Liberty,
! Londonderry, Napier and South Woodberry
will help to swell our majority till it reaches lat
leastl 500. Hence we say to the Opposition,
though your prophets, as usual, predict your sue
cess at the next election, ''lay not that fatter-
ing JUNCTION to your souIs," for Bedford county
is Democratic and her gallant Democracy have
determined to keep her SO, spite of all your
prophets and sons of prophets, spite of all your
scFibblers. tricksters and demagogues.

Pennsylvania Railroad, including the Rolling
Mills located upon the Road and the Railroads
connecting with II. we have scarcely had, for
the last four months, hall enough OF cars. As
this local trade is profitable one to the Penn
sylvanla Railroad Company we trust they will
not let US want for cars hearafler. II is proba-
bic that the trucks they are now building, to-
gether with the cars they can spare from their
other business, will afford sufficient supply.
The increased demand for BROAD Top Coal
for Railroads is rendering the trade TO be less
dependent upon the vicissituGes of the iron
business, and the prospect for large increase
Of shipments in 1860 is now quite encouraging.
