Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1865-05-19


FALL was found yesterday, under sofa in the
Parlor Of the Bedford Hotel. 1t is needless
to say who secreted it.
RarWe have been requested to say that
Mr.. Howards Dramatic and Musical Compa-
ny viii exhibit at the Court House tonight.
Mr.. Howard is the lessee of the Cumberland
Theatre where his Company has held forth
for the last eight months.
g@We had the pleasure of taking our
young friend Capt. Josiah Hyssong, Of Co..
II, 55th Reg. P. ", by the hand a few days
since. He was severely wounded some time
ago but is rapidly recovering. We are conf
dent he makes good officer.
E9T Persons handing in advertisements
will be charged with them, unless otherwise
directed. Professional gentlemen handing in
Auditor Notices will be charged with them,
and in no instance win we depart from this
rule. When they collect their own fees they
must also collect printers fees, or do as we
have done, time and again, loose them.
Bay~An order has been issued by the War
Department, placing the 1s6th and 18th
Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteers at this
and other points along the border. One
company of the 18th has already arrived
here and encamped above town in Mr.. Sam
uel Defbaughs grove. This precaution is
taken to prevent evil disposed persons from
making sudden inroads across the border in
to this and other counties of this State and
Maryland.
R6E- We stated last week that Mrs. Imler
who was arrested and incarcerated for the
murder of her child is a soldier widow. We
were misinformed and therefore take so much
of our statement back She was brought up
on a writ of Habeas Corpus before His Hon
or, Judge King, on last Tuesday, and we un-
derstand, remandea for further hearing. We
have no opinion to express in regard to her
guilt or innocence.
''THAT WHICH IS BRED ~ THE BoNE WILL
APPEAR THROUGH THE FLESH. We are in
formed that "secesh'i woman in St. Clairs-
vile, Bedford county, displayed her breeding
by tying Grape upon her dog, when the news
was received of the assassination OF our la
L
through ignorance and political malice, ex-
ceeded ali the Northern traitors who have so
disgraced themselves by exhibiting their dis
respect for the Nations great martyr.
The above we clip from the HollidaySb,Ug
Reqister. We have made strict inquiry to as
certain the truth of the ayerment, and it is
with shame that we are compelled to admi-
its correctness. 1t is said that the dog even
spurns his mistress. But this is only another
instance Of the barbarism of the Copperhead
party in this county By their works shall ye
know them.
The CAPTURE AND DIsPosAL OF JEFF-
He OF THE PErr1coAr. worthy friend
hands us the following which we think highly
practical The idea if carried out, would be
an immense source of revenue. All his Cop
perhead friends in the country would feel in
duty bound to pay their respects to the great
fallen. And he having iniated the new order
of the petticoat, it would be an additional at
traction to see the man who said after sail this
destruction of life and property we will
be compelled to acknowlede the Southern
Confederaey,'' in company with his followers,
robed in these
"Garments of mystical sublimity,
No matter whether russet, silk or dimity,
vending their way with visages long and seedy-
to pay their respects to the man who they
have always claimed was PRODIGY of chival-
ry ana magnanimity OH wouldn't we en-
joyit Editors generally get free tickets, but
rather than any body's feelings should be
hurt, we viii pay the dollar and think it a
good investment. But read our friends sug-
gestions:
MEssRs. EDITORS: see by the papers that
JEFF. Davis is captured infer that it is true
as it is official, and don't doubt but that it
win be confirmed by the Bedford Gazette
of week after next. Without waiting for the
above paper, we win concede that the chiyal-
ric President has been arrested and will
be found guilty of treason, if not, of being
accessory to the assassination of our late
worthy President If found guilty, the SEN
tenee of the Court, and the sanction of the
civilized world will be that he shall hang by
the neck until dead.
But is man who has made SO much mis-
chief to be let off so easy? 4 man who has
starved thousands ofour patriotic people, Who
has sacrificed thousands Of human lives upon
the battle field, and who has done our coun-
try inealculabie mischief, only that he might
CRAFTY reasonable ambition, deserves not
to have his own private feelings consulted
with regard to the manner Of his taking off ]
nor with regard to the use to which his body
may be put before he is called upon to doff
his pettcoat | suggest that when he is a
tried and convicted traitor, and prior to
the day appointed for his execution, that he
be conveyed from one point to another over
our great country and exhibited, Just as cap
tured, an admittance fee of-say one dollar
to be charged as revenue to the government,
to go toward paying off the great debt now
hanging over, and brought upon it by this
fend upon earth and his followers. | would
also suggest that the exhibition be accompan-
led by side show, charging an additional
fee for revenue, in which the rope with which
he Is to be hung can be seen. The rope to be
of cotton in order that the world may have
an optical demonstration of Jeff's well known
idea that Cotton is King. Knowing that
your paper has an extensive circulation, /
give these suggestions 10 order that they may
reach the proper authorities, if yon consider
them worthy place in your columns.
