Tu2 Election. On last Friday, the election
for Borough oflicers came off in this place.
political issues entered into the contest
the principal matter at variance being the
"hog question." One party, upon whoso ban
ner, very appropriately fastened to a rfog-wood
fctaff, was painted with brilliant lampblack, an
exquisite picture cf a '-juvenile l'ig'.'tied vith
a log-chain, were favorable to ah ordinance re
quiring the impounding or ''a! I quadrupeds of
tli species swine; the other, whose motto was
'Root hog or die' held that in this land of
lib.erfyV rorkc. T: full right to run at large
and do as he ple.:d. Theday was a fine one
the sun shining brightly high up in the
azure vaultj above clouds abont four fathoms
thick, which were showering down upon the
'devoted ltcads of the combatants a goodly
supply of.' snow tbo -gentle .'zephyrs were
swaying the trees, till out of sheer respect they
bowed their heads to the earth and the atmos
phere was redolent with the balmy breath of
old Boreas. It was a fit day for such a contest,
which soon waxed warm anxiety was depict
ed on many a countenance, and in some in
stances the controversy is said to have become
unusually spirited, though wc wont vouch for
th accuracy ,of the report. . At last, after a
hard day's engagement, the battle was ended,
when it appeared that . the . antiruu-at -large-hog
ticket was elected. Wc rre pleased to be
able to state that jio blood was spilled or bones
broken. - The only spcial damage done fell up
on somebody's olfactory organ, which assumed
'a very. rye (wry) appearance. Of course, no
bod yjnosc (knows) whose it.was. '
X. B. Country hogs visiting town will here
after be required to have special permits in tho

Tt'-H-E-w! On last Thursday morning, Ave
had undoubtedly tha coldest weather that has
been -experienced here, .not only this winter,
bst at any time within the recollection of our
oldest citizens, At 5 o'clock the mercury was
between CG and 38 deg. below zero at 7 o'
clock it was still 31 dcg. below 5 at 10 o'clock,
the tun shining at the time, it was at G ; and it
was not until near 11 that it rose to zero. At
11, the mercury rose 2 deg. above. In all the
short thermometers, the mercury was com
pressed into the bulbs. Such extreme cold was
calculated to-test the nerves of sensitive peo
plti'at least. As Cor ourself, Wrapped in a huge
cloak, our feet sticking in the fire, with ever--thing
aqueous congealing around us, we were
pondering as to tho probability of our having
been metamorphosed into a Laplander and
translated into the Arctic regions, and were
beginning to speculate upon the chances of the
north pole making fire-wood, when our rcvei ie
was interrupted, and we were brought to recog
nize our own identify and whereabouts by a
'friend rushing in and hurriedly asking if it
?astnt "most d-awful!y cold !"
BoEorcii Officers. The following persons,
who constituted the "Young American" tick
et, were elected in thii borough on last Fri
day : Burgess, George 1. Lanich, Sr. ; Town
Council "W. A. "Wallace, Jas. Alexander, V7.
S. Bradley, Jos. AT". Baird, Henry YT. Park ;
High Constable William Reed; School Di
'rectors John McFhei son, L. J.Crans; Asses
sor Henry B. Smith ; Judge John W. Shu
gert j Inspectors A. II. Shaw, John Trout
man; Constable Wm.K.Barr; Overseers of
Poor XL Shirk, C. P. Watson ; Auditors
VT. F. Irwin, O. B. Merrell, J. L. Cuttle.
Caved-ix. Tho roof on the new office of
Win. A. Wallace, Esq-, was crushed down on
last Saturday evening by the weight of the
enow which had collected on it. The top of
the brick walls arc somewhat damaged, though
perhaps not to a very great extent. There is
tlanger to be apprehended from tho 1 Jrge quan
tity of snow on roofs, and it might be well
enough to remove it soon.
The Slewing during the past week was as
good as ever, though the roads were in places
much drifted, and for several days wc had a
perfect rush of sleds, loaded with flour, grain,
pork, fie, from -Indiana county. Sellers ask
$11 a barrel for flour, $1,75 for wheat, 8. cts.
for pork, and other things in proportion. For
expanded prices and tall snow drifts, Clear
field is hard to beat.
The other day we heard a gentleman from
Marietta tell the best anecdote of "the sea
son." He says that Dr. Kane, accustomed to
the extreme cold of the Arctic regions, had to
put on linen clothes, and walked down Chest
nut street fanning himself, when the mercury
was 5 dcg. below zero. Kane must either be
'"some" on cold weather, or peoplo tell high
pressure stories about him.
Laweexcs Towxsnii. The following offi
cers were elected in this district on last Fri
day: Hi chard Shaw, Jr., Justice; Matthew
Ogden, Jr., Constable;' John Orr,A. II. Reed,

As Elopemejjt is Jllixos. A correspond
ent of the Chicago Press, writing from Tulon,
under date of Jan. o0, says: There has been
the most intense excitement in our neighbor
hood the past week, occasioned by the elope
ment of A. Moncrief, Esq., a married man,with
the wife of Wm. Rose, on the 22d inst. The
guilty parties both resided here. Mr. Moncrief
has enjoyed, until the past season, the almost
universal : confidence of our community, as a
man of correct principles and as a gentleman.
Such has been the confidence rexosed in him
that for several years past he has held tho office
of magistrate, and other offices, and last fall
was the democratic nominee for representative
to the State Legislature, for this and Teoria
county, and ran ahead of his ticket. Xo one
trusted in him moT implicity as a man of hon
or and a gentlemen, than the injured husband.
Mr. Rose was,up to the hour of this unaccount
able elopement, a warm and Unsuspecting
friend of Mr. M., and had stood by him as such
while others were abandoning him. M. leaves
a wife of irreproachable character, a woman
deserving of the best of husbands, and a love
ly, interesting boy. She is left her alone a
mong 8trangers,but amid those who will do all
that is possible to relieve her in her afilictiou.
Mrs. Rose was a lady of fine personal appear
ance, of a good family and at the time of the
elopement a member of the Baptist church.
Ilex husband is one of our most worthy citi
zens, esteemed by all who know him. lie was
kind and indulgent to his wife, too much so for
the proud, ref ractory woman who has so base
ly deserted him. Mrs. R. left three interest
ing girls, worse than motherless. She took
with her a little boy. The father and his
friends are in hot pursuit of the guilty parties,
with the hope of recovering t". e child. . Mrs.
R. managed to procure her husband to be ab
sent, that she might better consummate her
wanton enterprise. She broke the crystal out
of his gold watch, so that he would be com
pelled to leave it at home as a pillage for her.
She rifled his drawers, and took besides a
quantity of gold, all the valuable property
about the house of a portable nature. Mon
crief is supposed to have taken a considerable
amount of money with him, belonging to par
ties for whom he had collected it in his official
capacity, besides leaving many creditors to
whistle for their dues.
Both parties had been married for ten years
and upwards, and circulated in the best socie
ty. Mrs. Moncrief says that thero was never
an unkind word passed between her hnsbaud
and herself ; that his conduct is shrouded in
the deepest mystery to her. She attributes
her soul crushing misfortune to liquor. This
affair does not take an air of romance with us;
it .shocks us it grieves and staggers us.
Mrs. Rose left a letter behind for her sister,
in which, after bidding an everlasting adieu,
she the heartless adultress "hopes to meet
them in Leaven !" The entire, community
deeply svmpathize with the injured parties,
and may God grant them strength to bear
their misfortunes, which now weigh so heavi
ly upon them. , .
Contested Election Case. John B. Beck,
who contested the election of Johu C,M"Ghcc
from the Lycoming district, has been admit
ted to a seat in the House, eight democratic
members of the committee having returned a
report in his favor. The report occupies
strange ground to our view, the gist of which
is as follows : It appears that the general elec
tions in Sharon township, Potter county, were
to l e held at a certain school house, which
was sold in 1S52, and the purchaser moved it a
few rods from its former location. On the
morning of the general election in 1SV, the
purchaser informed one of the officers that he
would not permit the election to be held there,
owing to sickness in his family. Tho officers
accordingly removed the polls to the new but
actual school house ; and on this ground eight
democrats threw out the vote of an entire lec
tion district, and thus defeated Mr. M'Ghec.

the cover fits looselj-. This channel is filled with
a ver- adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. Iu order to seal the ves

cover xltzhl'y. and press it mlo pin cf. It may bo
