Having been afflicted for several years past
with illness, the cause Of which was unknown TO
me for a long time, and my continued disability
getting 70 be ofso serious and distressing char.
acser as To cause great anxiety with my family
snd:friends, became satisfied upon close inves,i-

time by accident a friend who had similar symp-
toms to mine informed me of the great improve
ment In his health by taking Hunts Remedy, and
persuaded me to try 1t. / Immediately commenc-

Dear Readers ofdlc HERALD:
Being an old, attentive reader the HER.
AID for many years, hope its editor will
accord me space in its columns for a little
history of New Baltimore and its environs,
situated at the foot of the Allegheny noun
tains and on the Raystown branch of the
Juniata river. This branch is noted for its
natural facilities in rearing the. speckled
mountain brook trout. The stream has nu-
merous cascades causing its waters to make
many leaps through the mountain gorge,
which makes it very attractive to the trout
and angler. The town is also on the line
of the projected Vanderbilt railway. An
efficient corps of engineers have an Office
here The writer frequently takes jaunt
down the Railroad line, and divergent points
in Bedford county. I saw through Bedford
county that the farmers there leave his grass
crop on the stock by force of nature. Anoth-
er thing is too true of Bedford county. that
it is possessed of a dozen or more ofthe most
antideluvian school houses ever saw; did
not see one in the county that has sign
of paint on If the teacher and scholar are
sample of the educational facilities to be
found here. then for the Commonwealth s
sake send Gov. Pattison and his crew into
the county 70 try some ofthe reform on that
they so lavishly displayed before the cleo
ton last fall, but is now ali in horn. This
part of the county must run on the tariff for
revenue only policy. Twenty-Five years
ago Bedford county was far in advance of
Somerset county in makeup, but now she
is just so far in the rear that unless Greeley's
idea is reversed so as to keep the rising
generation here. so long will this part of the
country remain stranded. More vim and
tariff for protection will wheel any commu-
nifty on the road to plenty and pleasure.
NY aim is not TO make mad, but want to
tell our county how progressive it is. like
the people of Bedford county for sociability.
but surely thev have fallen from the old
order of primitive days-I only speak of
part of Bedford county.
find the Republicans of Somerset and
Bedford counties about all of cne mind
again. Let us all be one again, and victory
will perch upon our banners this fail, and
in the fall of s4. Tariff for revenue only
certainly must not win. unless the laboring
man wants no work and no paw. A tariff
for protection, and that only will put every
workshop in full blast. and consequently
our laborers, farmers and mechanics will be
happy.
The other night some of Chief Rudiger's
stalwart engineers gave the town lively
serenade. The next morning every COW in
town was minus her iewelry-bell.
A few Z. S. storekeepers and gaugers have
lately been turned loose here to pasture d.

eral Z. S. storekeeper and gauger of old
