ON TIE MEDICINAL SPRING or BEDFoRD D
From the base Of lofty mountain issuing, 0
fountain, thy profusion of waters, thou sendest
womb embowelled: them mIngling with the stream
which murmurs below, thou loosest.
No verdant plains verdant folds nour-
ished by thy stream irriguons, Nor f0cks nor
younglings of the herd dost thou with food sup
ply To no prowling beasts Of prey do thy shady,
thy romantic banks, afford shelter or refuge.
Hence, blooming virgins gay, matrOns old and
aged sires, and youths lately in wedloek Joined,
greatly delight to saunter along thy streams, to
quaf thy healing waters.
While, with joyful satisfaction, the valotudina-
Tian in the waters Of this fountain laYes himself,
the diseases Of the breast, the pains Of the head
the dztresses Of the side and deafneSs-all shrink
from the healing efficacy Of the healthful element.
Let those drink whom the gout torments, and
those whom distressing cough annoys,-diseases

however learned In drinking they certain aid
shall find.
The humble cottager and the wealthy lord,
however weakened by disease, shall reinvigorate
their systems by drinking these waters Tender
eyes shan regain their strength, lost powers of
digestion shall again return, and the emf febled
loins with new strength be girded.
Let the sons Of leisure and Yotaries Of amuse-
ment on these health preserving waters regale
themselves. The vigorous young mar and the
rosy checked maiden from them receive no harm.
Rich and poor innumerous can well attest the
truths I sing.

HUNuEGDoS AND BROAD Tor RAILROAD
The following highly complimentary notice of
this road has been handed US by a gentleman
whose fine discrimination in matters Of this
kind is not to be questioned. We sometimes
hear Of some nervous old creature who pre-
fers thirty miles of slow coaches to this route,
Whose case is to be pitied) but in general the
persons who try this road find it, as it is, per
fcctly safe and satisfactory The compliment
is well deserved
MEssRs. EDIToRs: Have you travelled over
the III. & 3. T. III. r. r, lately? If you have
you no doubt observed a very great improve
ment. Within few weeks | have gone over
it SIX times and with as much comfort as could
be expected on q short road. When you
leave Mt. Dallas you can rely upon arriving
at Huntingdon at the promised time "sharp'
aud so vice versa. IE other words the trains
both ways are run according TO the schedules
and when that is done travellers are satisfied
even though the speed IS not so great as that
of the lightning line on the Pennsylvania Cen
trail. There are now no annoying delays at
the different stations. The trains stop to let
of and take on passengers, but there IS no
waste Of time. What has to be done is done
promptly, and you feel that all the employees
are attending to their business like men de-
termined to do their duty. The mails are
brought into Bedford regularly and passen-
gers By the evening train arrive at Mt. Dallas
in time to get here and have a good night S
rest. This gratifying state OF affairs Is at
tributable. | am informed, to the energy and
business capacity Of Mr.. McKilips, the pres
ent superintendent, quiet, unobtrusIve gem
tleman, who is certainly the right man in the
right place In going over the trestle
work, | noticed that it had been renewed
and repaired in the most thorough manner.
The work was done under the direction OF
Mr. Fulton, the Chief Engineer Of the com
pauy, who does skiltully and well whatsoever
he undertakes. a TRAVELLER.
ANoS0 the names Of the gallant dead in

Vols. Capt. Wehn was well known to the
members Of the company from this place at

not, was born and reared in Bedford county.
He was killed at Pocolaligo, South Carolina,
and fell by the side of his son--a worthy son

the time, aud who afterwards creditably sery-

leading, The memory Of Capt. Wehn and
his gallant son, viii ever be cherished by
those Of their late comrades in arms, who
knew in them the characteristics of brave
soldiers and true patriots.
Has the ordinance, passed By the Borough
authorities last Spring. requiring property
holders to build or repair the pavements in
front of their properties been resclnded, or
is the miserable condition Of some Of the
walks in direct contempt Of that act2 We be-
lieve that such improvement, if neglected by
the owners Of property when improvement
is necessary, was to be done by the authori-
ties at the expense Of the holders. There is
certainly room for improvement in some To-
caiities, and that. too, on the property Of
persons who are conceded to be euterprising
men, and generally take the lead in public
improvements" Why is this?-''a law held
in contempt is worse thaA no law at oil.
