Correspondence Of the Bedford Gazette
PHIL'A., May 5th, 1869.
MENDELssoHN,

MENDELsSoHN.
We left off last, as we were putting
on our hat and gloves for the Musical
Fund Hall, where the Mendelssohn
Society were to give the third grand
concert for the season. When this So
ciety says the concert will be grand,
you will feel it all through you!!
missed the first piece-the reason, you
know, it takes lady so long to put on
her bonnet and gloves--but the next
was from the Old Master himself, solo
and full orchestra, the first by Miss
Fannie Keine. We were carried by
storm by Mrs. Goodman and Miss Or
lima Cunnington. The latter sings with
great effect, and was so pretty and
dressed so beautifully simple, that you
could not resist her power. We believe
that there are parlors in this city that
have as sweet nightingales as ever
came across the sea, nor do we think
that everything is the best thing be-
cause it is foreign. The selections We're
all from the best masters, and the corps
of artists of high order. The concert
was enjoyed by large and enthusias-
tic audience. The musical director, Mr..
Jean Louis, was complimented with a
speech and beautiful testimonial, the
latter from the ladies, of course.
RED MEN.
This order is getting up parade for
the 18th inst. Since the late one by
the Odd Fellows, quite spirit has
been aroused in this direction, and we
shall expect to see something fancy, as
the Red Men go in for fun, fnery, fam
cy and frolie, while we will wait with
wonder, watching what will proceed
from pensively putting the pipe of
peace. This order is the oldest in the
United States except the Masonic. The
parade is in honor of the birth of Tam
/ many, the Indian chief.
THE RINK,
on Race and Goth ST., was burned last
Thursday night. Its capacity exceed
ed that of any other building in the
/ city. 1t was here the Odd Fellows
held .heir ball, and Cough was to have
lectured this week at 10 cents per head,
expecting to have an audience of ten
thousand. 1t has been used for veloci-
pede riding school, and had been in
use on the night of the fire. The loss
is very heavy, but as it was owned by
a company and partly covered by insu-
rance, can easily be rebuilt. Its dimen-
sions were $50 feet by 800 feet.
LINCOLN MONUMENT.
The trouble is where to put it. Not
that ground is scarce, but the up and
down towners each want it to grace
their own section. Now, as Washing
ton is also to have statue, let us take
the vote, SO each has its share of honor.
We would rather see Father Abraham
in the White House to-day than stand"
ing on marble base, and better would
it be for the integrity and happiness of
our country.
THESE NoTEs
are stopped on the sudden. Our old
friend Jere f. Black, of Sehellsburg,
drops in on us, and we throw away
pen, paper and upset our ink bottle and
lay back for an old-fashiOned talk
Pipes for two. Load them heavy and
strike a match. Mr.. Editor allow me
to say, for the present, adieu.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALs.-The act
passed by the last Legislature of our
State to prevent cruelty to animals
will commend itselfto general approv-
al 1t provides for the punishment Of
any person who shall wantonly or cru
ELY ill-treat, overload, beat, or other
wise abuse any animal, whether be-
longing to himself or to another, or
who shall in any way be concerned in
fighting or batting any bull, bear, dog,
cock or other creature. The abandon
mentinany public place ofany manned,
sick, iniirm or disabled creature is also
to be punished. The penalty for DISC
beying the law is for the first offence a
fine not less than ten nor more than
twenty dollars, and for the second, and
every subsequent offence not less than
twenty nor more than fifty dollars.
The inforner is made competent
witness and receives one half of the
fine, and the county where the offence
may be committed the other half. The
proceedings are summary, and the of
fender, in default of payment of the
fine and costs can be committed to the
county prison until discharged by Que
course of law, which amounts to the
three months required under the in
solvent laws. When the fine exceeds
ten dollars, the efendant may appeal
to the Court of Quarter Sessions, where
the offence is to be prosecuted as mis-
demeanor. In aggravated cases, the
defendant may be bound over for trial
at the Quarter Sessions, where on con-
viction, he is liable to a fine not ex-
ceeding two hundred dollars, or to an
Imprisonment not exceeding one year,
or TO both. The necessary expenses OF
taking charge of animals transported
in an inhuman manner, or of removing
and destroying disabled creatures, can
be recovered from the owner in suit
at law.

Best Time Vet Made.

From the Sacramento Daily Union.
Among the passengers by the Gen.
trail Pacific train yesterday afternoon
were Charles d. Burch and d. Jacoby
of Portland (Oregou); J. A. Watson,
of Alameda. and Orlando NJ. Packard,
of Dal:es City, (Oregon), who had
made the trip overland from the East.
The party left Chiago at 8 2. NJ. of the
18th instant Monday, and on the fol-
lowing Friday night were at Corrinne,
a station % miles west OF Ogden, hay
ing been fortunate enough to get ride
from Ogden to CCrrinne upon a con-
struction train. No passenger trains
running on the Union Pacific Railroad
west of the former place. They found
Corrinne to contain about 1000 inhab.
itants, most of whom were of the ''irre-
sponsible" class. The party, taversed
the streets through darkness and rain,
looking for hotel, but failed to find
one. Liquor saloons and hurdy- gurdy
dance houses monopolized the business
of the place, except that transacted by
the three stage lines centering there.
Finding that they could not obtain
quarters, the conductor oftbe construc-
ton train kindly invited them to sleep
in the cars, which they were glad to
do. The Union Pacific Company's
track was laid II miles west of Corrinne,
but owing to the lack of materials, none
having been put down since the We'd
resday previous to their arrival. The
Company had workmen engaged in
the vicinity of Promontory Point.
There is said to be difference of from
so to 80 feet in the hight of the grade
of the roads at the point where they
will lap-the Central being the highest.
Taking at Corrinne on Saturday, the
travellers rode about 80 miles, and met
the Central Pacific trackla yers at Mon
ument Point. Here they got on a
construction train, from which they
presently changed to another, and
finally, after making eight changes.
they reached Elko, about two hundred
miles from the front. Leaving Elko
at the regular hour of passengers, they
reached this city at l:2O p. M. yester-
day, making the trip from Chicago in
the quickest time on record days
22t hours. Tho best time made by the
mails so far is 10 days. The party
state that they found the officers of both
roads, construction as well as passenger
trains, very obiiging and courteous.

be correct, in Mr.. Reeves opinion, but

be correct, In Mr.. Reeves opinion, Du'
he fails to give any other evidence
than his mere statement. We are Will
ling to give Mr., Reeve the benefit Of
all such charges he may feel disposed
to make, and we hope we shall survive
them all The compliment he pays the
old board of trustees aud the demo.
cratic convention in stating that they
we're "cOntrolled" by any persons OF
influence, except their own judgement
will 90 for all it is worth.
So much for Mr.. Reeves personali-
ties. As to the merits of the case,
which be introduces at length, We have
simply this to say: We do not think
that the old board exceeded its author
ity with the fremen; nor that the
assessment made by Mr.. Capron and
accepted by them was unjust or un-
lawful nor that an investigation
disclosed very unsatisfactory state of
affairs as to the appropriation aud ex-
penditure of the funds of the corpora
ton and the manner in which its ac-
counts had been kept" Nor do we
think that the Marshall commence d
proceedings to collect taxes merely to
crafty the personal animosity of any
man. Nor do we think that the col
lection of the taxes could have been de-
feated; nor that the reason why Judge
Osborne did not grant an injunction
was that he had not time. On the other
hand we believe that the true cause of
the democratic defeat and radical tri-
umph is attributable to the aid and
countanance given to the radical ticket
by men with standing as democrats,
and that such aid was given from per-
sonal considerations.
The democratic ticket was composed
of mel who had been in no manner
connected with the old board; it was
composed of good men, who were NOM
mated by full and fair convention
without the "dictaticn" of any men,
and went before the people as fairly
and with as many pledges as the radi-
cal candidates made, and that their de-
feet was solely owing to the bad faith
of recognized democrats and to no 9TH
err cause. Mr.. Reeve or any other man
to the contrary notwithstanding; and
if our opinion is the result of cheat
ed imagination instead of judgment"
we are happy to be able to state that the
"imagination" of most of our friends is
also heated.
We had no disposition to agitate this
matter, but since Mr.. Reeve arrogates
all the remarks we made last week to
himself (thouSh four or five other par
ties were alluded to as pointedly as he
was and insists on assaulting us per-
sona:ly, we give the subject the atten-
ton he makes it demand, and if he is
satisfied with his knowledge and ex-
PLANTATION of ''What his gun carries" we
