We learn that the farmers in Clearfield
township, or at least many of them, coni-
menced cutting their wheat on the 5th of tlie
month. This was about the usual time for
the wheat harvest to begin in that township
and is about two weeks in advance of the
time in this part of the county. Tire land in
that township is of the very best quality and
remarkably productive, and now that the
lumber business there is almost a thing of
the past, Clearfield in a few years will be
one of the finest farming sections in this or
in anv of the surrounding counties.
Rev. A.McElwain, of West Philadelphia,
preached twice in the Presbyterian church of
this place on last Sunday week, the 3d inst,
and the day following, the work of razing
the walls of th edifice was begun prepara
tory to the erection of a new church on Cen
tre street. Last Sunday the same gentle
man preached to the Presbyterian congrega
tion in the. Baptist church, morninc and
evening, and thi following day be took his
departure for his home. The foundation
walls of the new building are already well
under way, and the prospects are Rood for
the comnleiion of the entire contract by the

The Altoona Cull of Monday says : There
are at pr-sent between Hollidaysburg and
Johnstown nine corps of civil engineers, one
one of which has surveyed as far as the foot
of Xo. s, on the Old Portage. The men em
ployed in the work seem to have no desire to
enlighten a curious public as to what road it
is to be, who is at the head '.of it. etc., etc.
It is antboratively stated, however, that the
shops of the new road will be erected at Gal
litzii), which has a tendency to make the old
citizens up that way feel rather jubilant. A
corps of engineers and asitnts are making

worthy of confidence seems to be evident
from the following, which we find in the

The PntNTEns' Picnic. We agree with
the Huntingdon Loral Xev$ wdien it reminds
those who are apt to be dissatisfied with
Bedford as the place for holding the printers'
picnic that there is no law to prevent them
going where they please, snd then adds:
'Bedford was chosen oecause it is a promi
nent Iwatering place in the Juniata velley,
and liaving already been at Cresson ami
Lloydsville, it was the object of the commit
tee to go the rounds. The disadvantages of
getting to Bedford and the springs were
taken into consideration by the committee
at their jmeeting on Friday tast, and it was
not until provision was made for sufficient
accommodations for all the printers and
their families, at very r.widrrate rates, that
the committee by unanimous consent decid
ed to go to :Bedford in September next. It
is presumed that the railroad tickets will le
good from Friday, September 2. until Mon
day, September 5, and parties can remain at
the springs one day or three days, or tliey
can go up on Saturday morning and have
over four hours in which to see the springs
and return the same evening."

ment you will find in this issue, have demon

ago in a small way, their business has rapid
ly increased to the present large Dry Goods
emporium. Close attention to business. keep
ingfresh, attractive andsaleble goods.courte
ous and attentive to customers, and selling
at small margin of profits, have attracted
such a large trade. Keeping, as they do, a
fine stock in all departments of their line, we
need only speak of some leading features, as
will be noticed. They announce as offering
great bargains in Summer Ootids in numer
ous varieties, such as, novellies in Imported
Dress Goods. Traveling Ulsters, Lawn and
Gingham Suits, also Fancy Summer Silks,
and in fact new goods arriving constantly and
each deparrcient is kept well supplied. We
advise buyers to call and see for themselves
what fine bargains can be secured for a Iit

A Giant Ox. On Thursday, July 21st, the
citizens of Ebensburg will have an opportu
nity of witnessing one of the greatest natur
al curiosities ever on exhibition in America.
It is simply a wonderful freak of nature
and is to the animal kingdom what Chang,
the wonderful Chinese giant, is to the human
race except that in proportionate ratio it is
a greater freak of nature. Just think of it,
common breed of ox, liaving attained the
mastadon proportions of twenty hands high,
and weighing nearly two tons, unquestion
ably the most colossal specimen of the bo
vine race in the world. The ox is with John
Kobinson's Great Show and has created the

Quick andJScre. Many miserable people

Who SHorxn Otte Thanks? IlaTinsr
spent a rounle of days, including the ever to
be reyered Fourth of July, of our recent va
cation"mnone the enterprising and hospita
ble people of Cherrytree, twenty-three miles
north of this place, it is an open question
with us whether the people aforesaid or our
self personally are under the greater obliga
tions toonr clever and considerate friend and
townsman. Dr. Creerv. The reason for this
doubt is that had it not been for the kind in
vitation and urgent solicitations of the gen
tleman named, ourself and "better half"
wonld not have joined the Doctor, wife and
two'daughters, not including the one in arms
with each of us, in the enjoyable jannt to
which we refer, and as a consequence the
courteous citizens of that goodly boroneh
would have been deprived of the pleasure (?)
of 'seeing ns for the first but we certainly hope
not the iast time in their midst. Leaving
aside, however, the question of thanks, which
the Doctor neither seeks nor desires, we come
down to the solid fact that we found much
to please and nothing to regret in the. trip.
We found the most elaborate celebration of
the nation's birthday we ever witnessed, the
occasion not only attracting the largest num
ber of people, fully three thousand, that ever
assembled in that place, but the program in
cluding a big feast, well worthy of the name,
served in a deiightful grove by Mr. L. A. Gra
yer, of the Henderson House, a monster pic
nic, with all that the word implies, a balloon
ascension, or rather three bailoon ascensions,
a tub race on the river, in which four youths
participated, eaeh of whom captured a prize
hung above their heads on a rope stretched
from shore to shore, a fine display of fire
works In the evening, and all the other con
comitants of a first-class celebration of the
most glorious event in our country s history,
gotten up-as it was by a patriotic people, not
a few of whom have thousands of t rer on im
mense tracts of land in that riclnity, but not
one ot whom has a spark of treason lurking
in h"rs bosom. We found, in addition to all
this, a very cordial reception from such rep
resentative citizens as our boyhood friends,
Mt. Torter Kinports and Capt. B. TI. Mc
Cormick, who personally and through their
excellent wives and families extended to us
the hospitalities of their elegant and cheer
ful homes courtesies which we will le glad
to reciprocate at any time. These two gen
tlemen, as well as a number of other public
spirited citizens, among whom we may name
Capt. Weaver and Messrs Jesse ITarter and
J. O. Creery. our attentive correspondent,
Mr. Tonkin, Mr. Henderson, owner of the
Henderson House, who owes it to himself
and the coming census to bunt tip a good
wife as soon as possible. Mr. Driseoll, of the
drug firm of Driseoll nosack, who are also
proprietors of the Cherrvtrec Ilcrord, (said
gentleman, by the way, being in no need, if
rumor speaks Itrue, of the advice we have
obtruded upon Mr. Henderson), Brother Ba
ker, the good-looking, enierpnsing, muusiri
ous and affable young local editor and pub
lisher of said paper, and a number of other
gentlemen we can't name, did much to make
ns feel that it was indeed good and pleasant
for us to be there. We found these things
and manv more in abont Cherrytree, which
is delightfully situated on both sides of the
Snsquehanna'rivcr, is tlie home of many pros
perous and progressive citizens engaged in
the lumber trade and other industrial and
mercantile pursuits, contains quite a n amber
of handsome and homelike dwellings, pos
spserKs on artesian well six hundred feet deep
i wb'cb failed to furnish oil, but instead throws
! out a never-failing stream of pure soda wa
ter, pleasant to the taste and of great medi
cinal virtue, as well as a constant flow of
illuminating gas sufficient to light a town of
three thousand inhabitants, ami to crown all
it now has our blessing and benediction, a
mighty big thing, coupled with the hope that
the day is not far distant when its great nat
tural wonder, the artesian well aforesaid,
combined with its many other attractions,
natural and artificial, wiil make it a popular
resort, as its people have good reason to an
ticipate, for beaith and pleasure seekers
from ali parts of the country.
Killed by Lichtnino. A very sad case
of inslitnt death under the most distressing
circumstances occurred at Loretto, this
county-, on last Thursday afternoon, the
facts as we have learned them being that the
residence of our old and excellent friend
Francis O'Friel, Esq., was struck by light
ning and a niece of that gentleman, a young
lady named Annie Kerr, instanCy'killed. It
seems that the subtle fluid entered the house
at or near the chimney, and after tearing off
some of the shingles and a portion of the
weatherboarding. descended to the lower
floor, when it struck Miss Kerr, who was in
the parlor at the time, with the terrihle re
sult stared. The'fearful messenger of death,
if we are. rightly informed, traversed the en
tire length of the house, and finally passed
out at the other end of the building, as was
evidenced by some of the weatherboarding
being torn off at that extreme. It also set
the upper part of the ho:ise on fire, but the
Tames were speedily subdued without anyr
serious damage being done. The unfortu
nate young ladv thus suddenly, shockingly
and unexpectedly summoned from this to
we hope a better world, was aged about
nineteen years, and bad been in this coun
try very little if any beyond four months,
having come from Ireland direct to Loretto,
if we mistake not, some time in the early
part of last March Like theareater portion
of the daughters of Erin, she was a very ex
emplary member of the Catholic Church, as
well as a most excellent young ladv, and
those of the rule of faith will understand us
when we sav that she had just "onipteted the
jubilee, as we have been informed, and it is
therefore to be presumed that she was fully
prepared for the dread summons which came
without a moment's warning. May her soul
rest in peace.
