In TowN.-Our old friend, Maj. Cres-
well, of Cassville, Huntington CO., paid our
town visit on Monday last. The Major is
sound on the great issues of the day.
BEWARE We warn our Democratic
friends not to be seen talking together on the
street corners, as in such case some of the Abb
clifton patriots will be sure to hang them up a.
gain for Secessionists.
ON FURLoUGH.-Capt. G. S. Mullin, of
the 55th Pa. Regiment, arrived here, ON Tues
day last, on his way to visit his family in Ma
pier tip. The Captain looks well, and repre-
sents the Bedford county boys to be in fine
health and spirits
TREAT AND RETREAr.-If you want to
retreat, join Banks or Floyd. But if you want
to treat without the re, take your sweetheart OF
your better half to Mrs E. V. Mowry's and
buy her new bonnet, hat, or any thing else of
the beautiful variety of ladies' fancy goods kept
by Mrs. Mowry.
Cool WEATHER.--The mercury has had
comparatively downward tendency for some
weeks The nights are cool and the mornings
damp with dew or chill with frost. 'Winter
fingered in the lap of Spring" and Summer
trundles on his knees most'patiently the laggard
frst-born of the Seasons.
NEGROES DRILLING.--We understand
that colored men and boys in this neighborhood,
are regularly engaged in sort of an attempt
at military drill. Our abolition friends should
by all means encourage these incipient warlike
efforts of their sable proteges. We are in favor
of sending them as reinforcement to Gen.
Hunter.
HAIL SToRM.--On Wednesday of last
week, we had the experience of a rather severe
hail Storm accompanied with rain, or rather a
severe rain storm accompanied with hail. The
streets were deluged with water and the fash
ing of lightning and booming of thunder render
do much damage in this neighborhood.
MAJOR TALIAFERRo.-Our venerable
FRIEND Maj. Taliaferro, is at present on visit to
his home in this place. The severe official du-
ties devolved upon the Major by the breaking
out Of the war, have overtaxed his physical
strength, and, we are sorry to say, he is not at
present the enjoyment of his usual good health.
We sincerely hope that he may soon be restor-
ed to health and strength.
LOOK OUT.-We are informed that GER
tain "Republican" Union men in this place now
say that they were always in favor of recog
nizing the independence of the seven states
which first seeded from the Union. These are
the men who said, tLet the South go; we don't
want ii !" They had better look out! Seces-
sionists are not allowed to talk in this ''neck
of the woods"
ToRNADo.--During the recent hail storm,
violent tornado prevailed in the Western and
Southwestern portions of this county, destroy
ing much valuable timber and seriously injur-
ing the grais. We are informed that in some
places lane of about half a mile in width,
was cut through the timber, the trees and bush
es being leveled with the ground. On Dry
Ridge, the grain is represented to have been
shorn off as with scythe.
PARDoNED.- w. Divelbiss, con-
victed of adultery at November term, 1861,
and sentenced to undergo an Imprisonment of
nine months in the county Jail, was pardoned,
a few days ago, by Gov. Curtin. The petition
forthe pardon was signed by the two Associate
Judges before whom Mr. Divelbiss was tried,
by the jurors who convicted him and by large
number Of the most respectable citizens of the
county.
HABEAs CoRpUs.-There are number
of astute legal gentlemen in this place, some of
whom have occasionlly written "Republican'
editorials, who used to tell us, with the most
learned air, that the writ of Ha5eas Corpus is
lawfully suspended by the dictum of the Presi-
dent That may be all true as far as the white
