a trip to Philadelphia, to discuss, and ar
range plans, with one of our first soulptors,
so as 10 be able to submit TO the entire
county organization, when assembled, intel
ligent and reliable data as to the cost, time
of erection &c, OF different plans, and vari-
Gus sizes of same plans, and having arranged
for the time, after the order should Be gireR,
at which the monument should be completed,
he returned home, to report to the Com
mittee and see what amount of funds could
be relied upon, so that the monument might
be ordered according to the means provided.
This we do know, that had tthe of the
personaheXertion and outlay been made By
citizens in general, that was manifested by
the Chairman, the monument would, be-
fore this time, have been fixed fact, )"
alike honorable to the dead and creditable to
those erecting it.
The Central Committee had no idea that
any money, except that reported to the
Treasurer, had been realized in any borough
or township, until the intimation recently
given, that in the neIghboring borough Of
Bloody Run, such a fund had been collected.
We make this statement in justice TO the
County Committee and their Chairman.

it is the out-burst Of lncid interval Of zone

BEDFoHn, PA. MAY 8, 1868.
The REAL ESTATE AGENCY of Durborrow
& Lutz, has effected the sale Of a number Of
tracts Of land within the last few weeks.
This is one of the best means of disposing Of
land that can be successfully employed.
Lands are sold at the price established by the
owner, without any effort on his part, and at
comparatively little or no expense; and with,
out the public even knowing whose lands are
offered for sale. Persons having lands to
sell win do well to employ them while those
desiring to buy should not fail to apply at
once. r.
A NuMEER Of persons are availing them.
selves Of our proposition to furnish the ~
QuIaER and Ncu York TifJuie for one year
for THREE DOLLARS. They will please re
member that we want the money in advance
50 for The INQUIEEE and 81 for the Tribune.
The Hberality ofthe proposition must be ap-
parent to all and unless we have the money
for both papers IN ADVANCE, we cannot do
it. We ought to introduce at least 500 cop
les Of the Tribune into the county by this
arrangement. IT,
