THE jury GoSnussIo rRs-The gen.
.lemen elected at the October election to the
position of Jury COMMISSIONS rs for this
County met last week and determined upon
the 18th Of December, pFoximo, as the time
to draw the Jury for the February term.
Fro NJ henceiorth thanks be to the Legifaa-
ture of Pennsylvania. we viii have jurors
that will not consist solely of the most rabid
and bigoted Copperheads in the County.
We will have no more such jurors as were
summoned for the Reed Grouse case fifty.
two Copperheads and eight Republicans.
That day, thank heaven, has gone by, no
more Copperhead justice for US, We shaye
had quite enough of it, an experience of
ten years is quite sufficient. In Mr.. VII
liam Kirk we have an excellent Com
missioner one whose honesty is above re-
proach and who will see that the jury box
will not be tampered with in the future.
Bounty TAx.-We have heard great
complaint on the part of the soldiers in re-
gard to the payment ofthis tax. WeWould
call the attention of persons interested to
the following provision in sec 4, Of the act
Relating to the payment of Bounties to
volunteer" approved 25th day of March,
A. D. 1864:
''ProUidea, That the property of non
commissioned of officers and prigates, in
actual service in the United States army
and navy from this commonwealth or who

vice or having been in such service for the

orably discharged therefrom and the prop
erty of widows minor children and widowed
mothers of non-commissioned officers and

The ELECTION OF PATRICK DoNAHoE
CONTESTED. the late Session of the
Court of Quarter Sessions of Bedford coun-
ty petition was offered to thecourt setting
fourth that Patrick Donahoe was elected to
the County Surveyorship by Illegal votes and
asking the Court to appoint the time for
hearing the case The Court appointed the
Goth day of February next. Mr.. Sans is
the contestant and we feel satisfied viii make
clear case. IF he should be successful and
we feel pretty confident that he will be,
contest viii be commenced against all the
persons declared elected over their Repub-
lican opponents at the late election in this
county. The Copperhcads have had their
day Of fraud and rascality henceforth we
shall see that they come strictly within the
provisions of the law.
pG1 The Jokes related By our friend Ma
ior Williamson of Huntingdon at the Re-
publican meeting on Tuesday night of
Court week were not appreciated BY our sore
friend of the Gazette, judging from his sar-
castle notice of the Majors speech Our
cotemporary being afflicted with aSore head
he is only verifying the maxim ''ag cross as
bear with sore head. " The COPPER
| reads are now surely all eeRE-heaols, and
ncne more so than the editor of the Gazette.
We expect the Major to have a special joke
on hand for this morose gentleman on the
occasion of his next visit,
ag- The late change of schedule on the
Broad Top Railroad is calculated to prove
very annoying to the citizens of MoTrison's
Cove. Ali mail matter mailed at this place
for any place enroute No. 1869 after twelve
clock NJ on Thursday cannot possibly
reach its destination until the afternoon of
the Monday following. This accounts for
the non-arrival of our papers. They are
mailed here on Thursday evening and the
train on the Broad Top road does not 60
down in time to make the connection at
Hopewelll and all the papers lie over until
the next mail which does not go up again
until Monday. We hope, however; to have
daily mail on that route erelong. Let the
day be hastened, the people have endured
the Inconvenience of tri-weekly mail
quite long enough.
THE Sacrament Of the Lords Supper,
Cd. V. viii be administered in the Presby-
terian Church on next Sabbath. The Rev.
d. H. Barron, of Hollidaysburg, Pa, will
assist the pastor.
FESTIVAL OF THE BENEFIT OF THE GENIE

ARTHUR HONE MAGAZINE FOR DECEMBER
greets us properly at the opening of the
month.
One year ago the publishers promised an
increase of size and many improvements in
the Home Magazine and they have kept
their word.
Steadily, in competition with other peri
odicals, long favorites with the people, the
Home Magazine has year after year put forth
its claims to favor, asking acceptance only
on the ground of merit, and year after year
it has widened its circulation and deepened
its hold on the popular heart, until it has
become established on broad and sure foun-
dation: not as fashion magazine-Il0t as
