The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1868-08-14

gulped down full grown manhood"
capillary vegetation" andall! Ailthls
little scene resulted from an attempt TO
answer some questions in last weeks
GAZETTE. He answered the first one,
as well as he could, and the rest he
either lodged or lied himself out or.
He said sawyer was no blockade-rur1-
ner, or at least he did not believe he
was; that Jeff Davis was President OF
the Confederacy, and therefore Joe
Brown could not have been the founder
and supporter Of the AndersOnville
prison pen. Logical, very. On the
great financial question his ideas were
brief bat clear. He said as soon as gold
and greenbacks would be on a par,
there would be no difference in their
respective value! The five-twenties
were to be paid off either in gold or
greenbacks, according to the Chicago
platform. This was about the gist of
his speech. Not word did he utter
in favor of relieving the burdens OF
tax-ridden people, not word of hope
for the disfranchised whites, or the OPP
pressed of the land anywhere. He
spoke for more taxes aud more oppres-
sion; for more tyranny and less liberty.
His speech was marked by the coarsest
language, the most wanton sacrilege,
and showed that he was better fitted to
associate with his friend, the bOot-black,
than with gentlemen; better fitted to
play the role ola clown than an en-
lightener of the public on national sub
jects. We hope that the Grant and
Colfax Club will secure his services to
stump this district. He has offered
himself, and they cannot well refuse.
PERsoNAL.-R. Biven Davis, ESD,
/ Of Galveston, Texas, is here on a visit
TO his friends and relatives. Mr.. Davis
looks well, and the Southwest seems
to agree with him admirably. Long

James H. Schell, Esq, of TT. Wayne,
Ind, and j. Fl. Schell, Esq, of Kansas
City, Mo, are spending some time

jill. Rush, Esq, formerly of this
place, who has been on a visit to his

man and is bound to succeed no matter
| where his lot is cast.

TERPsICHoREAN ENTERTAINMENT
On Wednesday night last, Prof. $,
NJ. Mott gave an exhibition of the pro-
ficiency of his pupils in the graceful
art of dancing, at that finely kept hotel,
the Arandale House. Prof. Mott is
engaged in teaching a high school Of
/ manners, in connection with dancing,
+ and we must say, very successful
teacher. The ease and grace with
which he teaches children to go through
I the ceremony of formal introduction,
as well as the intricate mazes Of the
dance, and truly surprising. We hope
( he may be well patrOnized.

ATLANTIC CITY must be a delightful
bathing place. Only twenty-five per-
sons bathing there have been drowned
this season! As the bodies are gener-
ally recovered, the proprietors Of this

es. The bodies Of three persons
/ drowned there on Saturday afternoon
/ were brought to Philadelphia the same
evening. Pennsylyanians who don't
want to be drowned when seeking

water, the pur st sir, the finest scenery
and some of the most agreeable people
in the Franklin Repository.
