SEVERAL MEMBERS OF COM.
PAY UP!-Our friends who have
paid their subscriptions have our hearty
thanks. Those who have not yet paid,
will receive our thanks if they will
call at our Office and pay on Court
week. or send the money by friends at
tending Court. Wehave, also, accounts
for job work, estate advertising, &c,
which must be settled. We need mon
ey. Come, friends, you know that we
have been indulgent. Let US see now
whether you appreciate our leniency.
An act has been passed by the Legis-
lature incorporating the Bedford and
Bridgeport Railroad Company. If
4 takes as long to build the twenty miles
to Bridgeport as is does to build the
/. SIX or seven miles to connect with the
railroad east Of Bedford, it viii never
+. hec0ustructed.-HOHiduySbIgg he Regis
ter.
To this "softimpeachm ent" weplead
guilty, Davy, but we can assure you
that it will not be the case in the pro-
posed road from this place to Bridge
port, to connect with the Connellsville
road. This Bridgeport route is not
held by a corps Of engineers, and the
people hattered with promises to build,
as was the case in the road to Mt. Dali
las. The ConnellsvilIe road is now a
fixed fact, and is destined to become a
great thoroughfare, and our people are
aroused to the importance of connect
ing with if, thus placing US nearer the
seabOard, than by the Mt. Dallas road,
and being in an almost direct line to
the great west, and the gold and silver
fields beyond the Rocky Mountains
If our people do not set themselves
earnestly to work to build this road
over one Of natures easiest routes, they
certainly stand very much in their
own light. We fondly hope the thing
may soon be consummated.
THE CASH SYsTEM.-That the cash
system, if carried out by our business
men, as it should be, would be to the
advantage of the seller as well as to
the buyer, must be admitted by every
one. 1t can and should be adopted, at
once, as it is the only correct mode of
doing business. If everybody would
pay cash, there would be no necessity
for any one to ask for credit. 1t would
enable the merchant to sell his goods
at smaller profits, thus benefting him
self as well as the buyer. The Mer-
chant, the Mechanic, the Farmer and
the Laborer, should demand cash for
all their work and for all they sell, thus
enabling all to pay as you CO." which
is the true philosopher stone. Every
man would know each day Of his life
how he stood financially, and there
would be no necessity to resort to the
bankrupt law to straighten up your af-
fairs We notice that the enterprising
firm Of J. B. Williams Il Co, at Bloody
Run, have resolved, after the first of
April next, to sell only for cash or pro-
dlce Let other business men follow
their example, and the cash $yStc3 will
soon be inaugurated.
REAL ESTATE MOvEMENTs.-P
EwaIt, Of ScheIlsburg, sold his fine
property, with two acres of land out
side the borough, to Henry Egolf, for
3, 700.
Jacob Dull Of the same place sold
his house and lot to Perry Williams,
for 5000.
Henry c, Guyer, of Juniata tp., sold
hi, farm to Singleton Suter for $4,700.
RAILROAD MEETING.-A meeting of
the Incorp0rator5 of Bedford and
Bridgeport Railroad Company will be
held next Wednesday evening
week. Let there be full attendance.
and let the friends of the proposed
road work in earnest for if we want a
railroad to Bedford we must see to it
ourselves and make one.
CHOICE AND RELIABLE GARDEN
SEED-.-The best and freshest garden
seeds have always been sold at the Old
Hardware Store ofHartIey & Mctzger.
They havejust received a great varie-
ty of choice hot-bed seeds from an
old Philadelphia gardner. Every pa
per warranted fresh and genuine.
PRESTO CHANGE.-Prof. Whitney
will give two entertainments, in this
place, on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, the 18th and 18th inst, for
the benefit ofthe Cemetery Association.
These entertainments are very amusing
and Will give our people a rare treat,
rs the Professor is considered a No. l
performer in the art Of prestodigita-
tiOn.

court next week, are invited to visit
