HORSES Stolen.-. wo horses, belong
ing to Mr.. Neff and Mr.. Hugh john
ston, of Greentree, this county, were
stolen on Saturday night, the oath ult.
The thieves were pursued and over
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

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 Is per cent
cheaper than he could do under the
credit system. See his advertisement
under head of "New Advertisements. )"
VELoCIPEDEs.-Be Bedford has been
relieved from the dignity of dullness.
She has velocipede-a real genuin e
Yankee veloeipede-in fact, four of
them
Think of it! Four veIocipedes 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
made!"
The veIocipede 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 big
jug full.
This is a progressive age but veloc-
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 trifled with.
They knock the pins out from under
you while you are trying to coax them
into go-ahead-itivene5s.
Cruel, inanimate animule
Snooks. who has been to see it, says
the velocipede is too Juvenile to travel.
It can't stand alone. Snooks is DISCUS
ted.
Hezekiar's experience with his fa-
nous fioppin' 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. a veloeipede is to be pur-
chased for the use of candidates. They
expect to go it faster.
"Our" member is to get on it, and
hopes to secure a denomination to Con-
gress in that way.
He is going around by the post of
fee. 1t is near cut-a cut off your
nose.
Velocipedes and skating are too ma
ny for us. We tried the latter once,
and in a second we were on our back
studying astronomy.
We saw more stars in five minutes
than we ever beheld with the naked
eye before. 1t was a glorious sight,
but we never felt inclined to repeat.
Velocipedes are big thing on ice
Skating is ditto.
