HORSES Stolen.-. wo horses, belong
ing to Mr.. Neff and Mr.. Hugh john
ston, of Greentree, this county, We're
stolen on Saturday night, the oath ult.

taken on Monday night near Coplin's
hotel, about ten miles from Philips
burg. The thieves made good their
escape by jumping from the horses
and taking to the woods. Huntingdon
Globe.
CASH OR PRoDUCE.-H f. Irvine, OF
the Regulator, has determined to sell
for cash or produce only, after the lst
day of June, next. In other words, he
has adopted the Cash System. Irvine
Is an enterprising merchant and de-
serves to be sustained in this new en-
terprise, especially as he promises
to sell goods from 10 to 10 per cent
cheaper than he could do under the
/ credit system. See his advertisement
under head of "New Advertisements" J"
VELoCIPEDEs.- Bedford has been
relieved from the dignity of dullness.
She has velocipede-a real genuin e
Yankee velocipede-in fact, four of
| them
Think of it! Four velocipedes in
/ Bedford, the town ablaze with amaze,
and the reservoir only half full of wa
! ter.
''Can these things be and overcome
us ?''
Yea, they can; for the velocipede O.
vercometh muchly.
We saw it overcome young
friend of ours, greatly to the disparage-
ment of his trowserloons.
''See what a rent the envious Casca
mader'
The velocipede has come; it has
been seen by a curious throng, but at
the present writing it has not been con-
quered by any yeoman, or any other
man, in this bailiwick. Not by a big
jug full.
This is progressive age but veioc-
ipede takes up a progressive iedea and
scatters it all over the floor. 1t won't
entertain notion adverse to its idea of
locomotion.
| Velocipedes are not to be trified with.
They knock the pins out from under
you while you are trying to coax them
into go-ahead-itiveness.
Cruel, inanimate animule!
Snooks. who has been to see it, says
the velocipede is too Juvenile to travel.
/ 1t can't stand alone. SnOoks is DISCUS
ted.
Hezekiar's experience with his IA
nous floppin' machine was not more
disastrous to that ambitious individual
than the repeated attempts of some
fellows we wot of, to ride the vicious
velocipede.
They Topped. And great was the
bone-aching thereof.
We hear strange tales about veloci'
pedism. \ velocipede is to be pur
chased for the use of candidates. They
expect to 60 it faster.
Our member is to get on it, anC
hopes to secure a denomination to Con
gress in that way.
He is going around by the post of
flee. 1t is a near cut-a cut off YOU
nose.
Velocipedes and skating are too ma
ny for us. We tried the latter once
and in second we were on our bach
studying astronomy.
We saw more stars in five minute.
than we ever beheld with the naked
eye before. 1t was glorious sight
but we never felt inclined to repeat.
Velocipedes are big thing on ice
Skating is ditto.
