ssThe weak the fool--the wicked should resign
ssAnd all whoT men to infamy consign."
The above is the standard by which the
Church and Canon Law of the middle ages,
determined the case of resignation on the part
of amy of her officers and it might be we'll
to examine the condition or points made out by
the wisdom of past ages for this emergency, and
see whether they may not be applicable to our
temporal as well as to our spiritual rulers, in
case circumstances should plainly Indicate the
necessity of a resignation of office on the part
Of any incumbent, high Or iow, in State as we'll as

and which are calculated to guard the State a.

The Bedford Railroad.

We have before us copies of the last annual
reports of the President and Treasurer of the
Bedford Railroad Company. From the report
of the President we learn that the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company has stepped in to the re-
lief of the Bedford Company and that with the
aid of the former and under the supervision Of
its engineer, the road is progressing toward
completion. The road has been graded to a
point within 6l miles of Bedford. OF the por-
tion under contract the President says: ''Al-
though circumstances which could not be con-
trolled by the Board have delayed its completion
as soon as was anticipated, we have now the
pleasure of informing the stockholders, that the
entire graduation and masonry, including the
trestling, g,-excepting an inconsiderabe part Of
section Z, and some trimming up on other sec
tions-are finished, about four miles of the track
have been laid and the bridge-an elegant and
substantial structure-over the Raystown
Branch Of the Juniata, is completed The
tracklayers will resume their work with the o.
pening of the New Year, and it will be pushed
forward as rapidly as the weather will permit
the cross-ties for the twelve miles having been
got out and delivered on the line of the road"
The President also informs us that the Penn'a.
r. II. Co. have converted into stock $25, 900
of the bonds of the Bedford r. r.. CO., thereby
making the subscriptions of stock outside of the
county, over $4,000, ''and the money having
been secured to pay for the construction of that
part Of the road which may be considered as
lying east Of Bloody Run, the money arising
from the subscriptions made BY citizens of Bed
ford county can be applied principally to the
work west of that village" The report of the

instructive. III our opinion this work is much
more generally useful than those exclusive ex-

deals with the practical, touching upon the i
deal only to amuse and not to indoctrinate.-
