HIS STYLE.-The Erie Dispatch tells
this of a young son of Erie who imbibes :
" A young fellow respectfully connected
and well known here, used to get drunk
very frequently. Shorty before Browns
hotel was closed. he was one dav, as u.s.
ual, under the influence Of benzine, and
stumbled at the head of the stairs lea l.
ing from the landing to the front door.
Down he came heels over head, bump
ing from step to step, until he was land
ed IN rather promiscuous looking heap.
A stranger who was just entering the
hotel, thinking the fellow had sustained
serious, if not mortal injury, ran to pick
him up, but the drunken man majesti-
cally waved him off, staggering to his
feet, and in response to the protfered as
sistance, roared out Now YOU ies
lem me lone. Want no slob'rin round
me. l allus come down stairs that
wav."

A READY REroRr A party of young
Americans were standing in front of an
ancient saddler's shop, kept by one Hans,
a Dutchman. Mischief reigned supreme
in their number, and thinking to have
some sport with our German friend, one
of them opened the door and addressed
him

The disguise was soon thrown off, and
the club house assumed the form of
first class gambling house at the Springs.
Horse racing and attendent games fol-
lowed, all bringing custom and profit to
Morrissey's establishment. About this
time the celebrated conspiracy was FORM

break down Harlem Railroad, and with
it Commodore Vanderbilt. As player
Morrissey soon became familiar with
Vanderbilt. who spent his summers at
the springs. In the extraordinary
movement made by Commodore Van
derbilt to cleckmate the conspirators,
and throw them OH their back, Morrissey
was employed TO play . conspicuous
part. lie made his appearance at the
Sock Board, backed by Vanderbilt.s He
traded in Harlem in manner that aston
ished the old operators at the board. He
was allowed to share in the profits of
that bold stroke which ruined thousands
who had sold Harlem short. Morrssey
is now worth half million. He is still
a gambler by profession, and carries on

"Where is Drake S. L. 1860 Y ?'
We have heard this question asked
many times, and for all we knew for a
year past he might be dead. Recent
ly, in New York, we called at his Lab
oratory in Liberty ST., and there found
this gentleman barricaded behind a
tremendous pile of boxes distributing
funds to a Sunday School Committee.
Our business was to secure an adver-
tisement. He said: MY dear sir,
what is the use of advertising the
Plantation Bitters9 They sell better
now than when / advertised at such
enormous expense, and now have not
made contract for year. have all
this amount to give to the poor. To sat
isfy the Press, however, who have al
ways been my friends, / think | will
give you little something to do again,
for have improved the Bitters great
Iy. and it may be well to have you let
the people know it." And so he ran
on in a happy, cordial, appreciative
manner, showing US the wonders of his
place and the cords of certificates.
Everything is on a magnificent scale,
and is done with neatness and prompt
ness. While there we saw at least for
ty orders come in for these celebrated
Bitters. Cases were being shipped to
the four corners of the world. Drake
is not dead, nor his Bitters either.-Ers

DoUBLY-DYED DEMONS Through
the aid of II. E. Thayer, Supt. Pink
erton's National Detective Agency,
Phila., the city authorities of Altoona
have ferreted out the existence Of a
secret oath-bound organization in that
city, composed of rude ruffians and
burly blackguards joined together for
the purpose of destroying property.
The Vaadicat0r says, "developements
of the most astounding character have
been made, and yet more startling are
expected" A number OF arrests have
been made and parties, in default of
heavy bail, have been lodged in Jail.
Members of one of the fire companies
are implicated. This disclosure ac-
counts for the many fires that have
occurred in that city of late. We have
always thought the destructive con-
fagrations in that place were to be
attributed to causes other than those
of mere accident. We hope the scoun-
drels will meet with proper punish
ment.

CHURCH CoNsEGRATION IN FRIENDS
CovE.-Trinity Reformed Church of
Friends Cove, this county, was forma~
ly dedicated to the worship Of the
Triune God, on Sunday, June 9Th,
1869. The day was charming and the
house was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, and many were unable to OBJ
tain admittance. The services were
conducted according to the beautiful
Order of Worship of the Reformed
Church. The church edifice is certain
Iy one of the finest and most handsome
in Bedford county. 1t is pleasantly
located on an elevation inwhati is termed
the lower end OF Friends Cove, about
five miles southeast from Bedford, on
ground donated for the purpose by Mr..
Isaac Diehl. The building is fifty-six
feet in length and thirty-fve in
breadth. The audience chamber is
twenty feet in the clear, that is, from
floor to ceiling, and furnished with a
choir gallery. A sweet-toned Menealy
bell, weighing upwards of four hun
dred pounds, occupies place in the
handsome cupola. The architects,
Messrs John Shafer, David Dibert and
Abraham Barnhart, as well as the pas
tor and membership of the congrega-
ton, have cause for congratulation In
their success. The whole expense of
building and furnishing this truly
beautiful church, we learn, was less
than Drty-flve hundred dollars. On
the morning of conservation debt OF
nineteen hundred dollars was still res
ting upon it. This was fully provided
for, the offerings of the people amounty
ing to almost two thousand dollars.
The church was thus given to God, free
Of debt, as should always be the case.
The pastor, the Rev. VIM. M. Deaf
rick, was assisted in these solemn and
interesting services by the Rev. DIR.
Gerhart, Rev. Fl. Heckerman, Rev.
N. II. Skyles, and Rev. G. U. He'll
