AFFAIRS AT HOME.
The Crops. Passing, a few days eince,
through a portion of tho western part of this
county, we paid some attention to the appear
ance of the crops, which indicates that the
season is very backward. The wheat is short
and thin, yet what there is of it may turn out
pretty well. The lye does not present a vig
orons growth, the stalk being light, and the
head small. We, however, observed a few
fields that looked well. The corn is Very
short, but looks hardy and vigorous, and If the
weather continues favorable, may yet mature
and produce a good .return. The oats and
grass crops, as a general thing, look well.
Cosghessioxal Coxferees. The Ameri
cans and Republicans of Clarion held a Coun
ty Convention on the 19th, at which A. Myers,
Samuel Young and P. M'Gough were appoint
ed Congressional Conferees to meet at such
time and place as may be fixed upon in con
nexion with the other delegates. The Ban
ner says It has been suggested that the confe
rees meet at Brookville on tho 1st of August.
Some immediate action should be taken to
have Clearfield represented in the conference.
Focbtii of Jclt. The Ladies of Cherry
Tree are preparing a Dinner for the benefit of
the new Presbyterian church erecting in that
place. They will spare no pains or expense
to make it as attractive as possible. We hope
that many will take this opportunity of visit
ing Cherry Tree, as they cannot find a more
pleasant retreat lor observing the ordinary an
nual festival of our Country's Independence.
Single tickets, Fifty cents.
That's So." II. D. Patton has received at
his store room in Curwensville, one of the lar
gest and choicest stocks of Seasonable Goods
in the county. lie has a very large variety of
articles, all designed to accommodate the
wants of his customers, which he will sell at
prices to suit the times. Attention is direct
ed to his advertisement in another portion of
this paper.
Am-ucatxox for a Bank Charter. By a
reference to an advertisement in to-day's Jour
nal it will be seen that application will be made
to the nest Legislature for a charter for a bank
in this place, to be called "The Clearfield
Bank," with a capital of $100,000, with the
privilege of increasing it to $200,000.
Charged. The time for holding the next
term of Court in this county, we understand,
has been changed from the third Monday in
September to the third Monday in August.
Some change has also been made in the time
for hotding the other terms, of which notice
will doubtlessly be given injrood season.
A riw dats since, the relative merits of raw
and cooked oysters were being discussed,
when a sprig from the Emerald Isle was asked
if they ever eat raw ones in Ireland, to which
he replied that "Divil the bit wnd they know
what a raw ovstcr was unless it was cooked .'"
West Over. This morning, as Dr. Harts
wiek was returning from a professional visit to
the country, his horse, shying at a woman with
a basket, ran over an embankment several feet
high, and turned entirely over. The Doctor
escaped with a few slight bruises.
Copious Showkrs have fallen in this section
of country within the last week, imparting
vigor and facilitating the growth of vegetation
of all kinds.
LUMBERMAN 'S MEETING.

the -1th of July, for the purpose of adopting
measures to prevent the floating of loose logs
in the Susquehanna river. All interested are

M A 11 II I E D :
On the 21th June, at the residence of John
L. Cuttle, Esq.. in the Borough of Clearfield,
by tho Rev. Dr. McLeod, of St. Andrew's
Church, Besjamix J. Berry, M. D., of Centre
county, to Mart Axs CiTTi.E,of this borough.
E7If there is any couple within the circle
of our acquaintance that we can heartily wish
an unbounded degree of earthly felicity, it is
this one, and wo trust their future may be as
Lright and pleasanfas the morning of life.
Wo received some excellent cake with the no
tice, for which we tender our thanks.
Escape of Prisoners is Mexico. John A.
C'ullen, of Virginia, and E. J. Wilson, of Ken
tucky, two of the passengers of the barque
Archibald Gracie, seized some six months ago
at La Paz, Mexico, as a filibuster, have arri
ved at Xew Orleans. All on Loard the barque
were thrown into prison, and have ever since
been confined. Recently, however, six of
them made their escape, and the two referred
to allege that, after travelling a dreary jour
ney on foot of seme 1500 miles through Mexi
co, they reached Vera Cruz, and there embar
ked for New Oilcans. They describe their
treatment and that of their comrades in prison
as heartless and inhuman, and complain bitter
ly of the indifference cf our government to
theirfatc.
Arrival of Mr. Fillmore The Bteamcr
Atlantic arrived at Sandy Hook en the night
ol the 22d, having on board ex-President Fi'l
pore. In a letter published in the X. Y. Ex
press, received by an earlier arrival, Mr. Fill
more says, as he has been placed in nomina
tion without his desire, he will remain there,
unless his withdrawal is desired by his friends
who placed him before the public as a candi
date. " Possible. The Xew York Day Book, a Eu
chanan paper says: "The time is close at hand
when such statesmen as Sumner and Hale will
have jastico, full justice done them, when, in
short, an Abolitionist will be lynched as read
ily in New York and Eoaton as in Charleston
ct New Orleans."
CLIPPINGS A"?E SCRIEELIITGS.
Oca respected friend "Sagacity,'" is in Tes
tacies over the recent nominations for Presi
dent find indulges frequently in shouts for
Millard Fremont !
Another Fire occurred at Brookville, Jef
ferson county, on the 16th, by which the steam
saw mill and the water mill of L. II. Litch &
Co., were destroyed, involving a loss of about
$10,000.
While the Cincinnati convention was in ses
sion, some locofocos at Lebanon made bets on
the final result, one of which was a day's wa
ges. The Buchanan man having won, the
Picrceite tendered him "ten cents," alleging
that that was Buchanan wages.
A company of So young men, mostly me
chanics, has been formed at Dayton, O., who
intend to st3rt forthwith for Kansas, via Iowa
and Nebraska. The citizens have contribu
ted about $5,000 to pay their expenses.
Thej' go out as actual settlers.
Brecke.vridge, the Locofoco candidate for
Vice President, when in Congress two years
ago, sent a challenge to Mr. Cutting, of New
York, to fight a duel. We shall see how those
locos who had such a horror of supporting the
"'duellist Clay," will swallow this fact.
Jame3 J. Strang, a Mormon leader, was shot
at Beaver Island on the 10th, by two of his for
mer followers. He received three balls in the
body and a severe blow from a pistol on the
head. Strang was lying in a very critical con
dition. The assassins had been arrested.
Another attempt will be made shortly ,to lay
a chain cable for a telegraph across the Atlan
tic. The cable will be 2100 miles long, and two
steamers, each with 1200 miles of cable, will
meet midway between Ireland and NewFound
land, unite the cables, and proceed in opposite
directions to land.
Central America. From Nicaragua wo
learn that General Walker had removed his
headquarters to Leon. There was some sick
ness among the troops. It was rumored that
a revolution had broken out at Costa Kica dur
ing Mora's absence, which it is said was head
ed by an influential family named Castro.
Tkxaxt Holses. An Anglo-French compa
ny is putting up a large number of model ten
ant houses in the Champs Elysecs in Paris. A
peculiarity of the scheme is that the tenant,
al ter occupying the same house for a period of
ten, twenty, or thirty years, according to the
worth of it, and regularly paying his annual
rent, will own the house in fee.
Mexico. Intelligence fromMexico indicates
that much alarm is felt by the government res
pecting the Spanish expedition, and foreshad
ows an application for the protection of the
United States. Southern Members ol Congress
suggest the granting of protection on the con
dition of a cession to us of tho Tehuantcpec
route, wiih the circumjacent territory.
Bills of indictment have been found against
the Directors of the Camden and Philadelphia
Ferry Company, charging them with man- J
slaughter in negligently equipping the steam- j
boat New Jersey, burnt in March, thereby caus
ing death ; also with misdemeanor in neglect
ing the same, they being carriers of passen
gers. The Superintendent, Andrew B. Fra
zee, is also indicted in similar hills.
Ax Impotent Threat. The recusant Whig,
Thomas Butler King, aPennsylvanian by birth,
but a Georgian by residence, told the Buchan
an ratificators in New York that the South
would be with them throughout the glorious
contest. He also added : ii.1ny mafi who does
r.ot go irith the South in. this contest trill le set
dmcn as desiring the dissolution of the Union."
This, then is a war waged for tho South.
Who said "sectional parties."
The Iloilidaysbnrg Standard states that Da
vis shot Johnston with a musket, that belong
ed to Capt. Walls, which he had aboard of a
Canal boat, and loaded for the purpose of
thooting mnskrats. It was one of an old con
demned lot sold by -the State at Ilarrisburg
some five or six years ago. As a singular co
incidence, it is stated that Hutchison shot Ed
monson with a musket out of the same lot,
and within but a tew feet from where Davis
shot Johnston.
Nebuchadnezzar. It is btatcd in the Lon
don .Itlas, that Colonel llawlinson has lately
discovered in a state of perfect preservation,
what is believed to be the mummy of Nebu
chadnezzar. The face of tiic rebellious mon
arch of Babylon, covered by one of those gold
masks usually found inAssyrian tombs, is des
cribed as very handsome the forehead high
and commanding, the leatures marked and
regular. A post mortem examiuation has been
made and tho stomach found full of grass.
A Fraud. A man has been arrested in New
York, charged with having attempted to de
fraud an aged gentleman, residing on Long Is
land, of properly valued at $100,000. It is
stated that the offender induced the old man
to visit his house, and while there, he drugged
him with liquor from clay to day for 4 weeks,
and then induced him to sign a power of at
torney, by which his property was to have
been sold. Before the sale took place, the
old man rallied, and the accused was arrested
and held to bail.
Horrid Ixhcmanitt of a Step-mother. A
recent trial before the Hardin (Ky.,1 County
Court has developed a systematic course of
cruelty by a Mrs. Hubbard, toward her step
daughter, a girl of thirteen years, that exceeds
anything of which we have ever read. It ap
pears that for two years past, the young girl
has been subject to constant d3spepsia, and to
occasional convulsions, with the most excru
ciating pains in her stomach. Recently she
vomited up thirty-three pins of various sizes,
and five needles issued from her side. This
led to an investigation, in the course of which
the girl stated that her mother, assisted by
another woman, had at different intervals
Jhrown hef down and compelled her to swal
low pins and needle3. Since the girl's stomach
has been relieved of '.herina her zenrral health
J is rapidly improving.

J. A. RHODES. Esq : Dear Sir As I t'k your
medicine to tell on consignment, '-no cure no pay,!"
I take pleasure in stating its effects as reported to
me by three brothers who live in this place, and
thcir'nViffiony is a fair r nccimen cd' all 1 have re
ceived :
W. S. Conklin told inc ,:I had taken nine bot
tles of Chrisiie'sAgue Ualsaut, and continually run
down w hile using it until my lungs and liver were
t'ongested to that degree that Llood discharged
from mv mouth and bowels, so that all thought it
impossible for mo to live through another chiM.
The doctors too did all they could for uie. but- tho't
I most die. Nothing did mcany good until I got
Rhode's Eever and Ague Cure, which at once re
lieved me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced a
permanent c.ire in a short time.
II. M. Conklin says : "I had been taking medi
cine of as good a doctor as we have in our county,
and taken any quantity of quinine and specifics
without any good result, from 25th August to 17th
December. I'.ut seeing how nicely it operated on
my brother, 1 j?ot a bottle of Rhode' Eever and A
gue Cure, w hich effected at permanent ure by us
ing two-thirds of a bottle."
S. M. Conklin was nut here, but both the othrr
brothers nay his case was the same as H. M'. I
soid the medicine to toth the same day. -and the
cure was as speedy from the same small quantity,
and I might so specify. Yours with respect.
A. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself. Goo proof as it is,
it is of no better tenor than the vast number ef like
certificates I havo already published, and the still
greatcramount that iscontinually pouring in to me.
I'ne thing more. Last year I had occasion to cau
tion the public in these words : '! nnticconc firm

Now 1 take pleasure xu saving that tnc caution
referred to the same '-Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam"
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There are several other industrious people who
are applying to their poisonous trash all that I
publish about mv Eever and Ague Cure, or Anti
dote to Malaria, except the certificates of cures.
and the certificate of the celebrated (. hrmist. Dr
James R. Chilton, of N. Y., in favor of its perfect
