Close cl l"hc nib Volume or the Star.
With this nnmber closes the thirteenth
volume of the Star or the North, the pres.
eat proprietor having published it tour year.
At ot.e time we had thought of suspending
the publication of the Star for a time, or
entirely so far as we were concerned, if we
could manage to dispose ol cur ma erial at
not too great a sacrifice ; but through the
solicitation of a few warm friends we have
been induced to continue its publication.
This establishment has not been over run
with patronage, and its patrons are sparsely
fettled throughout the county. We have, by
practicing a good deal of niggardliness, made
a living for ourseff and Utile family. We
have become 'pretty much" tired of that
kind of business, hence we have cotnmenc
ed making out bills for subscription, adver
tising and jobbing, for the rear ecdine Jan-
cary I, Jeez, as wen as tor previous back
standing does, and we think proper to give
this public and particular notice thereof, to
our friends so that they nisy prepare them
selves to respond to whatever call may be
made upon them. Upon looking over our
books we find there is a considerable
amount of arrearages which ought to be
settled without any further delay, and which'
we must have, without ourelf being sub
jected to serious inconvenience. We have
been in ihe printing business our years and
we find quite a number who are in arrears
for the whole Ien$h of time. We may say
in all kindness lha these accounts bicst be
settled before the first of April or other
wise we shall be obliged, however reluc
:ant to do so, to p';.ce them in proper hands
for collection -
uur current expenses are neavy ana near
ly all ia cash, or if not in cash, must be
met wben due, and it is treasonable that
we should be kept out of our -money, such
a length of time and in numerous instances
by persons who conld very readily pay if
wej naa an inclination to ao so. ve nave
subscribers too upon our books who own
property, and who would, get very angry
with us if we were to make public the ar
rearages due as from them of three, four
and more, years standing. Some oi these
Lave several times been called upon, and
some have promised us personally that
they would call and settle their bills. We
have seen some of them in :own, but they
do not come near our office.
We intend to settle op our business to the
first of April and bills will accordingly be
tnade out foi every one in arrears We
have bills to meet and we must then have
what belongs to us. Our patrons will oblige
us greatly by remitting their amounts as
much a they possibly can, and thereby
save an the percentage of collection to
which we ought not to be subjected espe
cially where bills have been left rnnning
pome length of time. Persons receiving
their papers by mail will oblige us by re
raining accordingly.
To those who are always prompt in the
discharge of their bills either at the office
or when called upon, we tender our thanks.
We have a number of patrons wboare very
punctual and model .subscribers in every
respect and if all were such it would be a
pleasure to be in the printing business.

Kentucky cn Cameron.
Both Houses of the Kentucky Legislature,
have passed iesoTations asking the Pres
ident to dismiss Simon Cameron from the
Cabinet. The resolutions were adsp'ed
by an " overwhelming vote. As there are
but one or two 'secession-sta" in the Ken
tacky Legislature, almost the entire body
being staunch friends ol the Union, this
reqoest of the immediate representatives of
the loyal people of Kentucky, will hardly
be denounced as a "disunion trick," or a
rnanceavre of the "northern ecioes of Seces
sion" We hope that the President will
act promptly in compliance with the wish
es of the Kentucky Legislature. We have
always maintained that unless Abolitionism
be first put down, the Union cannot be re
stored. Kentucky, the firmest of all the
loyal Slave States fives ns ample con fir
nation ol this opinion. The time serving
demagogue whomif represents Pennsylvania
in Ihe Cabinet, should at once be removed
from office, so that the loyal people of the
South may be assured that our Government
does not mean to make war upon their
local institutions, or their personal and
political rights.
Congress Mis Ely who was captured by
the rebels at the Bull Run fight has been
returned from Richmond, having been ex
changed for Mr. Faulkner. The rebels say
thai Faulkner is worth a half dozen Elys,
but we can't understand the meaning. Mr.
Ely gives rather an interesting account of
his capture and also of bis treatment with
other prisoners while at Richmond. He
fared tolerably Tell if he tells a straight
fiery, and we would presume be does. An
hcnorable exchange cf prisoners Las at last
been effected. This has caused a large
amoanl of rejoicing among the federalists
are said to be released daily. The train
that broaght Ely home was loaded with our

The President this morning signed the
bill recently passed by Congress, to provide
a more convenient mode ol allotments of
soldiers' pay to their families. It gives the
President the power to appoint from each
State three persons as commissioner, who
shall not be entitled to any compensation
from the Government, who Bball receive by
draft from the paymasters the order of such
persons to whom allotments of soldiers' pay
may be made. The third section of this
law lakes from the sutlers their lien on the
soldiers' pay The bill, as it is signed, re
fers only to the volunteer force.
A Happv Nrw Year to all our patrons
and readers. All is wall that ends well.
Let us hope, then, that in the course of
the new year, onrcoontry ojt who coun
try, will again be joined together, if not in
the bonds of immediate brotherhood, at leant
in those of common interest ar.d peace -Let
us Lope that the rebels will reason to
gether, and being convinced of their moral
and political turpitude, will lay down their
arm sand sue for pardon ere the bloody battles
take place which are now impending
Let ns hope that this glorious change from
pasion and tempest to calm and quiet
is soon to bless us; and that with the open
ing buds of spring, the busy bom of indus
try for man's comfort instead of destruction,
will merrily ring over the land and cheer
every heart with fatness Again, we say a
happy New Year to you, and may we all
strive to make it one.
A Gsm That truly excellent and beauti
ful weekly'GIeason's Literary Companion"
for this week and the new year, we have re
ceived. This number is finely illustrated,
and is the first of a new volume, containing
sixteen elegant pages, as open and fair as
any reader's eye would desire to feast upon
The "Lite Bart Companion" is the best Ik
erary publication in our country. What is
not there found of wit and humor, foreign
and home miscellany ,dewdrop4 of wisdom,
valuable receipts, and instruction in domes
tic affairs, m not worth reading or knowing.
Gleason understands the wants of those who
seek enjoyment and instruction through the
medium of reading. The circulation of the
Companion U very large, and rapidly in
creasing. The paper deserves all the suc
cess it is meeting with. Terms, 1 subscri
ber, $2, 8 do , $12, and one gratis. Sample
copies sent fr-e. Published weekly by F.
Gleason, corner of Tremonl and Bromfield
streets, Boston, Mass.
The Prospect. The Secretary of the
Treasury informs the people of the United
States that their indebtedness, in 1863, will
amount to Nine Hundred L'illions of Dollars I
Rather steep, this. But he says we can pay
it all in thirty ears! To enable us to do
so of course the Secretary calculates the
war to end by that time with our country
re-united and as prosperous as it was six
teen months ago.
But if be has committed as great a blun
der in this estimate as he did in that of
July last, our indebtedness, by 1863, instead
of being nine hundred millions will be near
er eighteen hundred millions. He told Con
gress, in July.tbat he wanted only S3 1 8.5 19
581 to"run the machine" to the first of July
next. (1862.) The time is not yet half up
and he informs Congress that it will take
S214 000,000 more to carry him through.
The onlf reason he assigns for this seventy
per cent of a mistake is, that the President
and Cabinet thought tbey would not need
over 300,000 soldiers to put down the rebel
lion, wben, at the same time, they asked
Congress to give them 500,000. If a school
boy would exhibit himself as contradictory
before his teacher as Mr. Chase has done
before the American people he would be
ordered on the ''dunce stool."
In July, the Secretary informed the pnblic
that the revenue from the new Republican
tariff, and from the Public Land, would be
60 000,000. He now says it will .not
amount to more than one-half that snm !
He wants Congress to raise the duly on
sugar from 2j to 3 cents per pound. lea from
15 to 2u, and coffee from 4 to 5. Clearfield

The poor people who voted for this enter
prising and intelligent Black Republican par
ty should read and ponder well these above
mentioned focis; and before they vote again
with such a humbug party try and have
their eyes open.
The Caucasian. The patrons of the Cau
eisian in this county will learn by a circular
we publish that the Caucasim ihe successor
or the noble Day-Book, his also been refused
circulation in the mails by the P.st Office
Department. This is most an infamous out
rage, and if the Postmaster-General got his
just deserts he would be biowed to pande
monium with gunpowder. There is no law
nor reason, nor justice, for this outrage
The Postmaster-General has no more right
to refuse papers going throngh the mail than
any other man. It is tyranny of the worst
kind and the people should if need be, re
sist it by force of arms, and we have been
astonished that the people of New York will
gndnre such an outrage npon their dearest
rights. Setintgrove Times.
Capt. Geo W. Utt, late of one of the Fish
ingcreek military companies has volunteer
ed for the war. He is one of those staunch
democrats, who for that cause has been
more abused than most other men He
I was commander of one of the "old scythe"
companies of Captain Staley, almost all of
whom have volunteered in defense of the
old flag ; he was one of the men whom we
heard a brainless six foot republican speak

the men about whoxn the Rev. Capt. Noble
made such a fuss in bis memorable cam

loud mouthed, valorous men? Just where

WILLIAM H. WELSH, Chairman
There are several men about this ancient
and venerable village who might justly and
fairly be considered braggarts. They are
Republican in politics which is very essen
tial to qualify them for the appellation of
braggart. When Mason and SlkJell were
captured the legality of the matter was dis
cussed at every pea nut stand in town, and
these fellows to whom we allude as hrag
garts, declared, the matter right, and that
they would fight before they (the prisoners)
should be released ; we could flog Jobny
Bull end the South altogether and at cne
lime and if they (Johny Bull and the Sou .h)
were not careful it would be done. A lw
days have elapsed, and the tone of these
chaps has moderated wonderfully. One
remarked in our bearing that, it would not
be prudent on the part of the administra
tion to have any difficulty at present with
England, and that England had a mighty
navy! The men we allude to had better
say less than they do, then they would not
be obliged to back down from their first po
sitions, which they. invariably have to do.
Capt. W. H. Emt. The official report or
the Draineville engagement announces that
the Sixth Regiment reserves, which evi
dently was in the hottest of the battle, if .we
may judge from the listcf killed and wound
ed, was under the command of Captain
Wellington H. Ent. He is the Captain of
company A, (Iron Guards, of Columbia
county) and the senior captain, who usual
ly takes command of a regiment i.i the ab
sence of the field officers, all of whom, we
infer, are on the sick list. The Sixth is a
'bully" regiment a pet of ours and in
the late action verified our predictions of
their courage and prowess, made at differ
ent times during the summer.
Captain Ent has distinguished himself,
and we look for his early promotion. The
entire regiment, in fact, gave a noble ac
count of itself, in this, its first engagement,
notwithstanding its field officers, and many
of the staff and line have been on the sick
list nearly all summer. All honor to the
brave boys of the Sixth Reserves. Patriot
and Union.
The Genesee Farmer The January
number ol the "Farmer' Own Paper" is re
ceived, li contains seventy articles on ag
ricultural and horticultural matter, with
eight illustrations, besides a well filled Edi
tor's Table, Lidie's Department, Answers
to Inquiries, etc. No one interested in the
culture of the soil in city or country can
fail to receive the full cot of a yearly sub
scription from this single number. The
Genesee Farmer is the cheapest agricultu
ral journal in the world, and with one ex
ception is said to have double the circula
tion of any similar paper in this cosntry or
in Europe. It costs only 50 cents a year.
We advise all our agricultural and horticul
tural friends to subscribe for the new vol
ume at once. Send the 50 cents in stamps
to the publisher, Joseph Harris, Rochester,
N . Y., or get one of your neighbors to take
it with you and send a dollar bill. Sab
scriptions received at this office.
Mr B F. Rcigharo of the enterprising
firm of B. F. Reighard & Bro. of Espy lost a
very valuable horse in B'oomshurg on
Thursdaj last. It seems that some persons
were drumming on the street, and the horse
became frightened and restive and began
to kick and finally broke loose, and having
broken the shaft of the sleigh in some way
ran it through the hinder part of his bellv,
severing some large arteries, and in a few
minutes bled to death.
We have often thought the drumming
throngh our streets, when score of horses
unused to such sounds are standing and dri
ving through them, wa& a very great nui
sance ; and we hope that this may be a suf
ficient warning to prevent a more sad oc
currence in the death of a human being.

Ater's American Almanac has arrived
and is now ready for delivery, gratis, by
K P. Lntz, to all who call for it. Our read
ers may be surprised to know that this lit
tle pamphlet which has become so much a
favorite in our section has qaite the largest
circulation of any one book in ihe world ex
cept the Bible. It is printed in many lan
guages and scattered through many nations
as well as supplied to almost the entire pop
ulation of our own vast domain. Every
family should keep it, for it contains infor
mation which all are liable to require, when
sickness overtakes them and which may
prove invaluable from being at hand in sea
son. If you take our advice, yon will call
and get an Ayer's Almanac, and when got,
keep it.
Abolition Preachers. In speaking of
the causes which have produced our present
difficulties, the Louisville Journal truthfully
says that, "from the beginning, the chief
instrument of seduction has been the sediti
nou and nnconslitutional utterances of on
principled Northern preachers and editors,
urging their congregations and their readers
to crusade against the social rider of the
South. These utterances have been eager
ly seized and industriously used by the
Southern seducers to fasten in the minds of
the whole people the conviction that that
was the universal sentiment and purpose of
the North."
The reduction of the pay of all commis
sioned officers of the army daring the war,
is agitated. The suggestion emanates from
several officers, who propose this mode of
testing the patriotism of their comrades.
It is argued that such a measure will soon
demonstrate which officers hold their posi
tions for love, of country, and which for the
pecuniary emoluments. It is not intended
to disturb the rate of pay of privates and
non-commissioned officers. The matter is
yet in embryo, and the opposition it will
meet from the class to be egerfed mat pr9
vent its development.
Colonel lane. , .
Colonel Kame, of the Bncktails, under the
very excellent care of his wife, is impro
ving. He is, however, confined closely to
bis bed, and is very weak. Colonel Kane
is not wounded in the forehead, and depriv
ed of his reason in Consequence, as cur
rently reported. His wound is on the cheek,
the ball having passed through the cheek,
and, carrying away a tooth and a oonion of
the jaw-bone, lodged in his month. He is
in full possession of bis reason, and recounts
with minute detail th incidents of the late
engagement and brilliant 'success of the
Pennsylvania troops.
The Eighty-fourth To day was the day
set apart for the Eighty-fourth regiment to
move on itsway to Romeny, but we learn
the Governor has countermanded the order,
and it will now await the arrival of arms
and war munitions.
The law of Pennsylvania forbids any reg
iment leaving this Slate without arms, and
the Governor, although he has permitted
unarmed regiments to leave, will io this
instance obey the letter of the law, and
neither Murray or Lewis' regiment will
move until fully armed. These regiments,
it will be remembered, are ordered to march
to Romeny, Va.,in the heart of the enemy's
country, and how they could be expected
to get arms there was not explained in the
order from the War Departmeat.
Since the above was written orders have
been received that the regiments proceed
to Williamsport, Md., where they will be
supplied with arms, &c, and thence to
Romeny, with orders to report to Gen. Kel
ly Patriot and Union.
The "Hurley Guard" of this place form a
part of this Regiment. It would appear
from the above that our boys will soon have
some work to do.
We are pained to chronicle a serious ac
cident that befell a young woman of thi
place, by the name of Miss Caroline Wert
man, on yesterday morning. It appears
that Miss Wertmen was walking on the
railroad track, and when crossing the Tres
sel work over Toby's Run, above town, her
foot flipped on the ice when she was pre
cipitated over the. bridge, falling a distance
of at leant twelve feet, fracturing her jaw,
and otherwise inflicting serioas injury lo
her person. The wonder is, considering
the distance she fell and the frozen siate of
the ground, that 6he was not killed outright.
Dr. Snyder was called in, who set the frac
tured jaw and attended to-her other injur
tes Dunvilie Intelligencet .
Too Poor to take a Paper. We hive
seen the man who was "too poor to take a
paper.'
He told ns he was, and a few
minutes after we were passing a bar-room
and had the curiosity to see how he econo
mized in that place. He called up several
of his companions and treated to whiskey.
When about to drink he ejected a large quid
of tobacco from his mouth. For the whis
key, he put down twentyfive cents. Then
he called for cigars nod "handed them
around" for which he paid another quarter
J These two items would have paid for his
paper four months and would prove a ben
efit instead of an injury. In the benefit his
whole family might participate. Let us
suppose that he spends, a he is a social
man, only fifty cents a week for whiskey
and cigars for himself and friends. He is
also a chewer, and will average at least
three cents a day at that. The yearly bill
would be,
WhisL-py and cigars S26,00
Chewing Tobacco
10,95
$36 95
This is what this poor nan spends for
what i worse than nothing, but he is "too
poor to lake a county paper.
The Agriculturist for January is a very
beautiful, valuable and intereting nnmber.
It contains a hundred articles, ard thirteen
of them are illustrated. Every farmer,
gardener and fruit grower, ought to haTe
this as well as other excellent works de
signed expressly for their use. They are
so valuable, and the expense so trifling that
all onght andean have them. Terms $1,00.

and a like quantity of champagne consum

Capt. Wilkes who arrested these traitors
and had them imprisoned. The people en
dorsed his course taken in the matter, and
were willing to stand by him. The admin

Wilkes acted upon his own responsibility
in the matter, but tbey sanctioned what he

Onr Carrier' Address.
Trudging through the busy town,
Up the noisy street, then down,
Through the alleys, dark and dim,
Past the steeples, tall and trim;
Pausing at the cottage gate,
When the evening lamp burns late,
Up the steps of mansion high,
Where delicious shadows lie;
In the sunshine soft and warm,
In the wintery's chilling storm,
In your grief and in your joy,
I have been your Carrier boy ;
Now 1 call on New Year's day,
Where are happy hearts, and gay,
Coldly sweeps the icy breeze.
Through the bare, complaining trees,
But it whispers softly lower,
As I speed me to your door;
Through ihe hall 1 see the light
Of your red fires, glowing bright,
And young voices from each room,
Ring throngh all ihe wintery ploom;
Lighter hearts than mine bound there,
More of hope and less of care ;
Never much that tends to joy,
In the life of a Carrier Bov.
Our land has given a bounteous yil I
In all 6orts of crops, in garden and field,
But then, such rninous prices, fell,
From last year's rates, very much, grain has
At these "Lincoln prices" the farmers wont
sell,
And are Mill holding on for the crisis.
Our business is dull in all sorts of trade,
While some have "gone up" and assign
ments have made,
And the banks will soon go to thunder,
What with panic, secession, and disunion,
bustle
With many, I fear, 'twill be a hard tussle
To prevent their going clear under.
But a trnce to forebodings, 'tis New Year's
ray !
So let us be cheerful and glad while we may!
And erjoy our blessings all in a right way,
While every patron a quarter for my address
will pay ;
Do good wben you can, to your poor fel
low man,
Be courteous, honest, aid kind,
And whil you enjoy your abundance and
plenty,
Don't let the needy go from your door empty;
And this, best of rules, bear in mind.
To wit : "Always unto your fellow men do
As you would wish them to do unto you."
Now comes the ladies, precions dear,
In silk ard satin rutle,
And proudly swing their crinoline,
And raise their t-kirts la-Lulle.
Tbey gaily promenade the street,
And cot up funny capers,
And sport upon their little heads
Those horrid great "sky-scrapers."
The gaouty, little dahing hat,
All ribbons, bows, and flowers,
Was very neat, and preitier far,
Than these old ugly towers !
But then be patient, stately lords,
Your reign will again be here,
For with the close of last night's sun,
Clossed twelve months, after leap year.
The reign of bet er halves is o'er,
So gentlemen, now dah on,
And state with prompt accord
That yon will lead the fashion.
They've had their grand conventions,
And talked of woman's rights,
And though they've banished petticoats
They iiavsn't got the lights.
But Ihe ladies, bless their eouls.
Why always talk about them? .
You know, my dear, great whiskered men
You couldn't do wi'hout ihem !
And now, kind friend, a word or two,
With your gracious permission,
Will be addressed by me to you,
Defining my neat position.
I've tried to faithful be,
Discharging all my Jutien,
A method every one can see,
Having peculiar beauties;
And should I e'er have (ailed in this
I hope you'll a'l excuse me,
For no subscriber did 1 "miss"
Save when mem'ry refused m.
And here I make my partina bow
To all my friend and patrons,
And wish a Happt New Year nov
To this and all earth's nations.
