Smith, Secretary of the Interior, arrived at Bed.
ford Springs on Monday night last. The Sec.

Of trying the waters of our Springs for the ben.
eft of his health.
Hon. r. G. GRlER.-Judge Grier is al
present scjournins at Bedford Springs. The
Judge, though quite venerable in appearance,
looks hale and hearty and seems to be in the
enjoyment of excellent health. Long live this
distinguished jurist, this true and faithful ex.
FOUNDER of the law!
The GREENsBURG ARGUs.-This ster-
ling Democratic journal has donned new dress
and looks as fresh and sparkling as a sunrise in
May. We are glad to note this evidence of
prosperity on the part of Father Laird, and
hope that he will be fully rewarded for the pc
cuniary outlay incurred in the improvement Of
his paper.
TRUNKS, &c.-Mr. J. B. Magill has just
received from the East, large assortment Of
trunks, valises, &C., &C., which he will sell at
the lowest prices. He has some very fine la
dies dress trunks, which our fair friends are
respectfully desired to examine for themselves.
STRANGER IN TowN.-We have been gratifed
by a call from Frederick Aver Esq, the business
man of the firm of J. g. Aver & Co., Lowell.
A short acquaintance with the gentleman con-
u;nnae .,n that not +l< I>-~.-.---s
pounding hls medicines is alone concerned In
the immense consumption of them; but that it
takes business talent of no ordinary measure to
pass them around the world. Mr.. Aver, mani
festly, has these abilities and the success of his
house shows that he uses them. T'sMemphis

CoNcERT.-On Monday and Tuesday
evenings last, the people of our town were fia-
vored with performances in the Court House,
by the celebrated vocalists, Hudson Brothers,
accompanied by Fl. M. Rogers, the well-known
and greatly admired balladist. The Hudson
Brothers are fine performers in fact, we can
not say that we have ever heard them excelled
Fl. M. Rogers is decidedly the best male soprano
we have ever heard. His voice is clear and
very musical, articulating every note distinctly
and melodiously. The performances of this
troupe gave great satisfaction to the large audi
ences which assembled to hear them and we
can say without hesitation, to the people of 9TH
er places about to be visited by the Hudsons
and Rogers, that rich treat is in store for
them
HISTORY OF THE REBELLION. have
been shown specimen copy of work about to
be published, entitled ''The History of the Great
Rebellion" by Thomas p. Kettell, of New York,

The volume exhibited to us gives a true and
impartial account of the rise and progress of the
rebellion We can recommend it to our readers
as an honest and straightforward book, ''nothing
extenuating, nor setting down aught in malice"
The second volume will be issued imnediately
upon the close of the war, and subscribers to
this work will, therefore, receive complete his

vile, is general agent for this and number of
the adjoining counties. He will be assisted in
this county by T. II. c. Burch, Levi Daugher-
ty and William A Grove.
RIoT.-On Saturday night last rather
serious affair took place on the road between
our borough and the Springs. A party of
young men from town had gone out to the
Springs, and while there, one of their number
was insultingiy addressed by eolored boy also
from town, whereupon some violence ensued
between the parties, another eolored "gem,an''
participating in the squabble. AS the party
was returning to town, the carriage in which
they were riding, was attacked by squad of
twelve or fifteen colored men, standing by the
who hurled stones and other missiles
at the vehicle as it passed them. Exasperated
by this demonstration on the part of the blacks,
the white boys sailed forth from their carriage
