Riot iii Clearfield County.
On Friday last, a desperate affray took
-i]ace between the raftsmen and log-floaters en
tered in their different vocations on Clear
iii iil Cit-ek. It occurred at a point called
I ■ wood Hand, and in the severe wounding
live logmen and the destruction of a qnan
,v provision, tools, &c. The following
w r injur.-d : -Geo. Chandler, shot
„ • |,. liiick : J F. Parsons, shot in both legs ;
■ i ,i Cameron, shot lu both legs; Geo.
\i -hoi in the forehead and hands ; a
pi .num. name unknown, was also snot.
fir logmen were completely routed, the
r;ift>inen beiug well supplied with fire-arms,
nerved to desperation by long suffering, hav
ing resolved to win the field or die. Immedi-
Pelv after the rout of their adversaries, the
victors betook themselves to the destruction
of their property, tearing down the cabin, de
droving their boats, three in number, and
throwing t heir provisions into the Creek. They
thni burnt the tools of the logmen, throwing
the iron portions iuto the water. None of
the raftsmen were injured so far as we have
heard.
Tlic raftsmen in all parts of the State op
pose the floating of loose logs down the stream,
as destuctive of their husiuess, and a bill is
ROW before the Legislature to prohibit the
business entirely.]

A REMARKABLE CASE—THE SICKNESS AT
W vHiMiT'iN.—We yesterday conversed with
a gentleman who has been suffering more or
>" for several Weeks by an extraordinary
-iekiiess contracted at Washington. The re
markable feature in his ease is, that, between
tin' 19th of March and the 22d of April he
vs.led Washington, but on neither occasion
'i dhe put up at the National Hotel. He ar
rived in the city on the first occasion On the
19th of March, took lodgings at another es
'ablishment, and remained there until the 21th.
He came away apparently in good health, and
on the lstli of April returned, and put up at
the same house. On the 22d, or four days af
ter. lie was seized with sickness, and imme
diately directed his footsteps homeward. He
had nausea, violent cramps, and by the time
he arrived in Philadelphia, a terrific diarrhoea.
HN symptoms continued to increase, until his
audition oecume quite alarming, when he sent
for a physician.
The facts of the ease were stated, and hi
medical attendant said that he had been poi
-oned, apparently by arsenic, and he gave
remedies accordingly. The chief of these was
a preparation of iron which acted rapidly as
an antidote. Two weeks had goi.e by, and
nr informant is now convalescent, but he is
e|| feeble and exhausted. He himself iscon
"■'■d that the cause of the disease was poi-

die mystery.— Philadelphia Inquirer, May 9.

[From the Chicago Tribune, May o.]
Scarcity of Grain at the West.
From careful inquiry, personally made both
of people from the country and along the lines
of three of the priucipal roads leading into this
city, we are convinced that the expectation in
dulged in by some of onr contemporaries in
regard to the quantity of grain to come for
ward to this market during the present sea
son, are not founded on facts. The crop of
last year was by no means remarkable ; it has
probably been largely over-estimated, as the
events of the spring and summer will prove.
Though" it was large enough to have left, in an
ordinary season, a very considerable surplus in
the hands of the farmers, the extraordinary
duration' ot the winter has cleaned out their
granaries aud cribs entirely ; and even in our
own state thousands of men who usually have
corn and oats t6 sell have been for a month
past, and are yet, buying from their neighbors
to keep their cattle &nd horses alive until a
few warm and pleasant days bring out the new
grass. All along the Mississippi, on the lowa
side, there is the greatest distress among far
mers for feed, and many of them, so great is
the scarcity, arc losing entire herds by starva
tion. A gentleman from Maquoketa tells ns
that in that region—by the way, one of the
richest and most productive parti! of lowa—
cattlfe ate dying by hundreds, aud that far
mers who hauled their surplus to the river and
sold it in the fall, afe now buying it back by
wagon loads at three times the pticc they got
for it six months ago. In the country west
of Davenport, and about lowa City, the same
state of things exists. At Quincy the demand
for corn to take over iuto Missouri is much
greater than the supply ; and one distillery
at least is buying grain at St. Louis, and send
ing it up the river by the boat load, to avoid
stopping work, as it would do if obliged to de
pend upon home supplies. At Keokuk aud
Burlington the demand is very active and the
supply small, as it is, indeed, in every other
part of the West from which we have heard.
Along the St. Louis and Chicago road there
is more corn, but not half the usual quantity.
Along the Galena Air Line, Galena and Chi
cago, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
and the Chicago and Bock Hand roads, hard
ly a full crib is to be seen. In one word, the
cattle have eaten up the entire surplus of corn,
oats, hay, and in many places, the potatoes al
so. The winter has exceeded its usual length
by fully forty days ; and in those days the
mischief lias been done. Let tho donbter Jake
his pencil and make his own figures. There
are in Illinois, fully two million horses, mules,
cows, oxen and other cattle. Admit that on
ly a half of this number, saying nothing of the
three millions sheep and swine, have required
forty days extra feed, and then see what, af
ter their wants were supplied, would be left
of the very moderate crop of 1850.
If the warning that may be gathered from
our account —which, we admit, is doleful
enough—will prevent any from overstocking,
or from selling present stocks upon expecta
tions of speedy pay, or if it will stimulate the
farmers to sow and plant a wider area, aud to
practice more economy in the use of their hay
and grain in subsequent seasons, we shall have
accomplished all we desire.
IIORSE FI.F.SH DINNER IN PARIS.—An ex
perimental dinner was given the other day by
the firm of Chevet to a number of savants who
took the lead some time ago in recommending
horse-flesh as a wholesome and nourishing ali
meat. The banquet accordingly consisted al
most exclusively of that eseulaut, and of the
the igaiiia, a Chinese root, which promises,
from its nutritive qualities, to become a pow
erful auxiliary to the potato. Among the
guests wore M de St. Ililairc, the originator
of hippophngy in France, MM Mouquin, Tan
doo aud I'ayen, members of the Institute Ge
neral dt Br >sols, director of the Artillery De
partment, at the Ministry of War ; several
• mini 1.1 agronomi-ts, and Dr. Yvan, a gen
tlemen who has traveled much, and whose
I -a n eoM-iii -red a connoisseur in gas
-4 on the t.l; that, according to
f.i .1 'u: tie in 111 the course of his
lit cat uof Hit .tag, cat, monkey, rat, lizard,
shark, and even leeches! This gentleman
states that the dinner consisted of a bread
soup of horse broth, boiled horse-flesh, (five
hours' cooking), ignumas of China stewed in
butter, (talis with Dutch sauce, and ignattias
lioiled for twelve minutes iu water and salt,
rol-au-rents d' amourette made with the spinal
marrow of the iiorse, a chine of horse ( filet de
checcl) roasted, a truffled turkey, and a pie of
ala made horse-flesh. The soup was pronounc
ed excellent, having a flavor which beef broth
does not arrive at ; the boiled meat could not
be distinguished from beef by any outward to
ken, and the taste was nearly the same. The
vol-au-venls , Dr. Yvan states, would not have
disgraced an Imperial tabic. The roast was
extremely rich in gravy, and emitted a pecu
liar aroma not unlike that belonging to good
venison. In short, the horse was unanimous
ly pronounced a fit animal for human food. As
for the ignama, it was found inferior to the
potato in its feculent quality, but superior in
taste and flavor. What renders this root par
ticularly interesting to agriculturists is, that
the longer it remains in the ground the more
it increases in bulk and in quality ; so that it
may be kept in the ground during years of
abundance, and brought into the market when
a year of scarcity occurs.— Galignani.
HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES —DF.AD BODIES EX
NI'MEN AND BURNED. —Great excitement pre
vailed at Concord, X. C., last week in conse
ouence of the discovery of the fact that the
bodies of two little girls, daughters of a res
ectable citizen, had been exhumed and burn
ed. Suspicion pointed to a quack doctor nam
ed Nugent, and an excited crowd proceeded
to his house, where they found him in a dying
condition, and in a few hours he was a corpse.
11c made a statement, however, before death,
to the effect that he had exhumed about six
teen dead bodies in Concord and elsewhere,
and after nsing them (for making medicine)
he burned the flesh, coffins and everything, to
prevent detection. His ash pile was examin
ed, and teeth and bones found therein. His
theory appears to have been that a medicine
could be made by boiling the liver of a human
being that would cure liver complaint ; and
so with regard to other diseases, One report
says that he took poison after learning that
his operations were known to the public ; and
another that he died from a disease contract
ed from frequent handling of decomposed bo
dies.
