THE JOURNAL.
AFFAIRS AT no.ME.
CleaeField Borocch. Strolling about town
a few day since, we incidentally commenced
counting the number of stores, shops. &c.,
and found that there were eight dry goods
Stores, one drag store, two book and stition
ery stores, fire tailoring establishments, fire
boot and shoe shops, three saddle and harness
shops, three cabinet and chair-making estab
lishments, one foundry, four wagon-makers'
shops, two printing offices, one .crockery, one
tin-ware manufactory and store depot, four
blacksmith's shops, one clock , and watch-maker,
one lirery stable, and three hotels. There
may be some more establishments which we
jailed to obserre. We hare residing in the
town two preachers, though there are five chur
ches here, four physicians, one dentist, and
nine lawyers in active practice. We know of
no way in which these several branches of
industry can be made to extend their business
operations more readily than by informing the
public at large of what is done, and manufac
tured, and where. And how can this be done
more easily than by a system of liberal adver
tising 1 A newspaper is the medium which
has conducted many a man to fortune, and
many a worthy fellow has failed by neglecting
to make use of this convenient and economi
cal vehicle of carrying himself into notoriety.
Have we ax Engine among i s ? This query
suggested itself to us by reading accounts of
a large number of fires which have occurred
recently In different places, and by which an
immense amount of property has been destroy
ed. Wo believe there is no engine, or any
other kind of apparatus in our town, by means
of which a fire could be extinguished. The
largo.' number of wooden buildings here
would facilitate the destruction of a large por
tion of the town, should a fire break out on a
stormy day. The necessity of having a good
engine must, therefore, be apparent to every
property holder and busicess man in the place.
What shall be done in the matter? Will we
do without an engine, and by so doing leave
tho town as food for the devouring element
whenever it may happen to burst forth ? Or
shall we have an engine and other fire extin
guishing apparatus among us soon t We shall
see !
Ahbrottps. The attention of the citizens
of Curwensville and vicinity is directed to the
advertisement of M. W. T. Purviance in to
day's Journal. Itfr. P. is a good artist and has
rendered entire satisfaction here. . The am
brotype is a much more desirable picture than
the Daguerreotype, for tho reason that is is
more clear and distinct, and possesses the
quality of "unfading durability."
Beef. We arc pleased to learn that the
gvod people of our borough arc in a fair way
;f being supplied regularly with beef. For
this purpose, our townsmen, Messrs. Clark
Wilson and David Etzweiler, have purchased
a. supply of beef cattle, and have erected a
temporary building on the Market lot, where
they will sell out their meat. This arrange
ment will certainly be a great accommodation.
Dentistry. We call the attention of the
citizens of Philipsbtirg and neighborhood to
the card of Dr. A. M. Hiila, who contemplates
spending next week in that place, during
which time all who wish to have any opera
tions performed on their teeth, can be accom
modated br calling on him.
New Iitos Establishment. Mr. Benjamin
S packman, as will be seen by an advertisement
in another portion of to-day's Journal, is pre
pared to supply all who are in need of the ar
ticle, with bar iron of various sizes. He can
be found at the shop of T. Mills, near the cor
ner of Locust and Third streets.
. A. M. Hills offers to sell the new goods
which he is just receiving, "a little cheaper
than any one else" disposes of articles of the
same description, as will bo learned by peru
sing his advertisement which can be lound
elsewhere in this paper.
Ijt Town. On Monday evening Senator Dia
ler arrived in this place, and will spend a few
days among his friends and acquaintances.

The Home of Fierce. In Concord, N. II.
on Wednesday last, June 4, the effigies ol
Franklin Fierce and Preston S. Brooks
were banging in front of the State House, 80
feet from the ground, on the Fierce and King
liberty pole, erected in 1852. An effigy of
Col. George hung in another part of the city,
beaiingan inscription upon his front, "The
glorious and godlike administration of Frank
linFicrcc.' Stbawberbies. The N- Y. Tribune says
that Jersey strawberries made their appearance
in that city last week, and sold at 23 cents a
basket. It says, that wood absolutely refuses
to. bo bent so as to form a basket that will hold
a less quantity, and that strawberries, in that
City, at 25 cents a ba.ket, may be understood
abroad to be equal to ?1 50 a quart. Too high I

Sam Slice: says he would rather breax a
yoke of steers any day, than to make up a
quarrel between two women when they get
their dander up.
There were thirty-five fires in the United
States during the last month, in each of which
cases the loss was not less than S 10,000. The
entire loss amounted to 51,707,000.
It is calculated that the clergy costs the

bacco $40,000,000, and rum over $100,000,000.
'Put not off till to-morrow what can be done
to-day," said a mother to her procrastinating
son. "Then, marm, let's eat that apple pie

False. It was reported that the Warren
Co. Bank had failed. The Warren Mail says
they know nothing of it at home, and that on
the 7th May nearly $30,000 in specie were in
the vaults ot the bank.
A Horrible Affair occurred at St. Joseph,
Missouri, about the 22dult. Jacob Friend,

Abolition Convention The Convention of
Radical Abolitionists, which met a Syracuse,
X. Y., on the 20th May, nominated Gcrritt
Smith for President, and Samuel M'Farland,
of Fenn'a, for Vice President, alter which the
body adjourned sine die.
Mr. Brook., (the South Carolina rufiiun, has
challenged Senator Wilson for words spoken
hi the Senate in relation to the assault on Mr.

ecstacies over the arrival of some pipes for the

Diabolus thinks it is useless expenditure to put
up works, when so much pas is running on legs
thro' the streets of that "ancient borough.''
The Wool Tram:. The clipping season has
now fully commenced in Western Pennsylva
nia and other wool-growing States, and the
mild weather is quite favorable for shearing.
It is snid that many agents and speculators
have already gone into the wool-growing dis
tricts to make contracts with the farmers for
the purchase of new wool.
Tue recent Election in New Orleans re
sulted in the success of the whole American
ticket. The Mayor has 2000 majority. Mr.
Trepannicr, the clerk of the First District
Court, was shot and stabbed several times by
a party of Sicilians. Much fighting, stabbing
and shooting occurred throughout the day.
Three Sicilians were killed.
Tut House Committee of Investigation into
the assault committed by Brooks on Mr. Sum
ner, made a report, and the majority of the
committee recommend the expulsion of Brocks
for his unmanly and disgraceful conduct. As
it requires a two-thirds' vote to expel a mem
her, the South Carolina bully may possibly
manoge to secure enough votes to prevent it.
The editor of the Utiea Herald says that he
once knew a wild widow who cut out her own
daughter in the good graces of her lover and
married him herself. To obtain revenge for
this unmotherly trick, the daughter set her
cap for the young man's rich father, (of whom,
he was the only heir,) and actually married
him and had children, to the infinite annoy
ance of the other parties.' This occurred in
Onondago county, New York.
The N. Y. Express contains "A query pro
posed and an answer expected," the object of
which was to ascertain who was the author,
and what is the correct reading of the' line so
often (and so frequently incorrectly) quoted,
"Fine by degrees and beautifully less." It
may be found in Prior's Henry and Emma,
where Henry, speaking to Emma, says :
'No longer shall the bodice apply laid.
From thy full bosom to thy slender waist,
That air and harmony of shape express,
Fine by degrees and beautifully less."
Look Oct ! Judge Smyscr, of the Mont
gomery county circuit, decided recently that,
under the new license law, "by the 10th sec
tion, the Bond given by the license is totally
forfeited, upon a conviction had for any viola
tion of the provisions of this act, or of any
other act for the observance of which said
bond is conditioned. This forfeiture extends
not only to the fine and cost3, but to the fall
and entire amount of the penalty of the bond
ai this is a feature to which wc desire es-
! pecially to driw tho attention cf the parties, j
' and especially of the sureties."' ,

LATEE FROM EUB0PE.
The Cunard steamer Niagara arrived at Hal
ifax on June 5, en route for Boston, with Liv
erpool dates to May 24. The excitement on
the Italian question still continues. The Brit
ish Ministry has again triumphed over the op
position on a motion of censure for the aban
donment of .the maratime law touching neu
trals in the late treaty of peace. Nothing de
cisive has transpired in relation to the Sound
Dues. The Russian successes in Circassia are
confirmed. The Liverpool cotton market had
been easier, with a slight decline in lower
grades. Breadstuff's were a shade lower than
previous quotations. Provisions were weak,
with moderate sales. The money market was
easier, and Consuls unchanged.
TnE National "American" Council in New
York, after an animated debate on Wednesday,
as to the propriety of abolishing secresy in
their meeting, ultimately decided it in the af
firmative, by a large majority. Speeches ere
made by Hon. John M. Botts, Hon. Humphrey
Marshall, Hon. Thomas A. Jenks of Rhode Is
land, Hon. Bayard Clark, of New York, Mr.
Saunders and others. .There was a discussion
on a resolution by a Massachusetts delegate,
to the effect that no difference of opinion on
the subject of the Presidential nomination al
ready made should exclude a delegate from a
seat in the Convention. No decision was had
on the resolution, further than referring it to
a Committee. The Committee on Resolutions
reported one using very strong terms in de
nunciation of the Brooks and Sumner outrage.
In the debate upen the above resolution, all of
the Southern members who spoke, including
John M. Botts, Mr. Alexander, of Baltimore,
and others, condemned the outrage upon Sum
ner, but opposed the passage of the original
resolution. Messrs. Goodwin, Leslie, Brittain
and Buckingham of New York condemned it-
in strong terms, and favored the resolution.
The resolution being modified, on the sugges
tion of Mr. Botts, was finally adopted. New
officers for the ansuing year wenrballotted for.
Mr. E. C. Bartlett, of Ky.,was re-elected Pre
sident of the National Council ; Mr. Erastus
Brooks, elected Vice President ; Mi.Deshler,
of Md., re-elected Corresponding Secretary ;
Mr. Crane, of Ohio, Treasurer ; Mr. Stephens,
Recording Secretary, and Mr. Goodwin, of N.
York, Chaplain.
Our Foreign Eelations-The French Minister.
Washington, Juno 3. Several days ago
Count Sartiges received through the Post Of
fice a newspaper containing a h-tter from a
Washington correspondent, treating of the set
tled antipathy of foreign Governments towards
the United States, as now maintained by the
conduct of the foreign Representatives in their
intercourse with society and our public men,
and which letter was superinduced by the al
ledged indecent and insulting language against
our Government, and especially against the
Secretary of State, at a dinner recent I- given
by Count Sartiges. The envelope enclosing
the newspaper in question, bore the seal of the
State department.
On Saturday Count Sartiges called on Mr.
Marcy, indignantly complaining of the insult,
and demanded that its suspected author be
banished, intimating that in the event of fail
ure to do this, he would demand his passports.
Mr. Marcy, of course, disavowed all knowledgo
or responsibility concerning tho letter, and
expressed regret that anything had happened
to occasion offeuee. Here was a dilemma,but
Count Sartiges was apparently satisfied, and
the Secretary released from his unpleasant po
sition, by tho author, who was a Government
employee, but who did not send the letter to
Count Sartiges, promptly resigning his office.
The Russian Minister, to-day, gave a pic-nic
entertainment at Arlington Springs, to his dip
lomatic associates, and others.
Tim Lock Haven and Tyrone Railroad.
In the Whig of tho 21st ultimo, we asked the
question "What has become of the President
and Directors of the Lock Haven and Tyrone
Railroad 7" When we made the inquiry wc
expected that some one, "booked up" on the
subject, would give us the desired informa
tion, but we are as deep in the fog now as
then. Early in the spring a meeting of the
stockholders was held at Lock Haven, when
there was a President and Board of Directors
elected, and also a Chief Engineer appointed.
Now, we would like to know why the Presi
dent and Directors so elected, do not order
the Engineer to go on and locate the road.
They certainly know that they arc the persons
to act in 'the matter, and that tho stockhold
ers expected them to act when they elected
them. Several months have passed away since
their election and they have not even held one
meeting, nor done anything to further tho pro
ject. In justice to the stockholders tlicy are
bound to give some reason why they do not go
on with the work. Bellefonte Whig.
Hollow ay1 s Ointment and Pills, astonishing
Remedies for Scrofula. Mr. Henry Judd, of
Detroit, Michigan, was in a most alarming
state of health, he had been a great sufferer
from scrofula for a number of years, and final
ly all parts of his body broke out into sores,
rendering him an object of horror to every
one, he tried some of the most reputed reme
dies known, but they didnottonch his com
plaint, and in the greatest alarm, he consulted
a friend as to what course he ought to adopt,
when Holloway's Ointment and Pills were re
commended, which be commenced using, and
by persevering with these remedies for a short
time, he was perfectly cured, after every other
remedy had failed.

As 1 took your -
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported t
mo b three brothers who live in this place, and,
their testimony is a fair specimen of all I havero-'
j ccjVcd :
j y Conkiia told me ' I had taken nin bot-;
tjt.a 0f Christie's Ague balsa n.and continually run
down while using it until my lungs and liver wr'
Congested to that degree that blood discharged
from in v mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible for me to live through another chili.
The doctors too did all they could for me, but thot'
I must die. Nothing did me any good until I got
Rhode's I'evr r and Ague Cure, which at once re
lieved ms f the distress and nausea at my f totnach
and pain in my hoad and bowels, and produced a
permanent cure in a short time.
H. M. Conklinsays: '! had been taking medi
cine of cs good a doctor as wo have in onr county,
and taken any quantity of quiniuo and pctac
without any good rciult" from i'5th August to 17th
December. Put seeing hew nicety it operated oa
my brother, I got a bottle of Rhodes' Fever and A
gue Cure, which effected a permanent cure by ui
ins: two-thirds of a bottle."
p. M. Conkliu was uot here, but both the other
j brothers say hi-- case was the same as H. M's. I
! sold tho medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy lrotn tho sjme small quantity,
and I might so rnceify. Yours with reFpoct,
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Uooa proof as it is,
it is of co better tenor than tho vast number of like
certificates I have already published, and the Mill
greater amount that iscoutinually pouring in to me
One thing more. Last year I had occasion tocaw
tion the public in thc?e words: "7 noticconefim
who have taicil one of my general circulars, sub-.
stitufd the name of their nostrum for my medi
cine, an I then icith brazen intpinlenec end their

j Now I take pleasure in saying that the caution
rrfcrre-t to the samo "UrXbnstie s Ague ualram
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There arc several other industrious people who
arc applying to their poisonous trash all that 1
publish about my Fever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote Vi Malaria, except the certificates of curcc,
and the certificate of the relebrated Chemist. Dr.
James It. Chilton, of N. V., in favor of its perfect
