A Vioiext Stobm of Rain and ITail passed
over our borough on last Sunday afternoon,
which did considerable damage to the gardens,
and must have Injured the corn and wheat
crops, more or less, wherever it extended.
Itcx-orr. As Mr. John McClelland, of this
borough, was driving in a buggy up-street, on
his return from the celebration in Bradford on
the 4th, his horse took fright and ran off.
Mr.M'C. had with him his wife and child.
When opposite the jail, the affrighted animal
turned quickly to the right, and after crossing
the plank side-walk, Mr. McClelland succeed
ed in running him against the jail with such
forco as to" throw him. The, buggy was broken,
and the horse received some injuries. It
aeoms almost miraculous that Mr. M. and his
family escaped without serious injury.
Great Democratic Meeting A grand
"Rally" of the Democracy took place at the
Court House in this Borough on the evening
of the 4th of July. The gathering was im
mense ! there being actually twenty-tour per
sons present, five of whom were Americans.
The proceedings were of a little the raciest
character. J udge Barrett was called upon and
responded in a lengthy speech. A Ye are of o
pinion, as His Honor hiuisell intimated in the
iK-ginning of his remarks, that it was highly
improper ior him, occupying a position on the
Judicial bench, to take an active part in poli-
t.os. IIu, however, seemed to have soon for
fatten this, and warming up, delivered him-
r-eu ol 'tuat same old tune" he has been in
tiie habit of playing for over a quarter of a
o ntury. Perhaps he had some Democratic
i-t'.'i.'d iu his veins that was troubling him, and,
ii'.-e Buchanan, wished to let it out. The
"large and respectable audience" was further
entertained by Wm. A. Wallace, Esq.; and
Mr. Bartles, from "the Jarsies," was called
upon and administered a doie that made the
faithful squirm. He said he was just from the
land of Stockton, and was a warm personal
friend of the Commodore, but as he had fallen
into bad company, he now intended to support
Buchanan. . That before he came to Pennsyl
vauia he supposed every person was for the
'favorite son," but on his arrival in Hunting-
cnanan men tofre." - lie procteac'a-to Tvrono
aud fonnd none there came on to Philipsburg
auu iouna none mere, but on getting in the
stage at that point he actually found one man
that had the courage to vote for Buchanan
and he was a Mr. Koontz from Clearfield coun
ty. That he was at length glad to meet with
so large and enthusiastic an assembly of the
supporters of Buchanan ! "The faithful" tried
hard to swallow . the bitter pill, but it still
sticks in their "craws" and produces a chok
ing sensation whenever it is alluded to.
They'll choke worse yet before they get the
"favorite son" entirely off their stomachs,and
we very much fear, notwithstanding they are
provided with a "pump," that they'll have to
get either Fremont or Fillmore to work the
handle. We have no doubt either of them
could successfully perform the operation, and
restore, not only them, but the country, to a
sound and health v condition.
The Forum The SOth Anniversary of A-
ruerican Independence was celebrated at a
number of places in this county. In Bradford
township there was a fine celebration, between
SCO and 1,000 persons beflig present. Several
.Sabbath Schools had joined, and together with
the citizens generally, assembled on the old
tamp-ground, near Lowndsberry's, where ap
propriate addresses were delivered by Rev.
Crowl and Rev. Bonewell and 11. B. Swoope,
Esq. A most excellent dinner had been pre
pared for the occasion, and was eaten with tho
liveliest relish;.
At Kylertown there was also a very spirited
celebration, at which Mr. Isaac England acted
as Marshall of the day. Eloquent addresses,
appropriate to tho occasion, were delivered by
J. C. Brenner, and H. B. Swoope,Esqs. The
proceedings were characterized by the utmost
good feeling and harmony. In the evening,
it was contemplated to have a brilliant display
of fire-works.
At Ccrwensville, we understand, there was
au appropriate and interesting celebration, at
which Rev. Mr. Still delivered the oration. It
was well attended, and in the evening was
wound up by a display of fire-works.
Mount Jot Celebration. Agreeably to
previous arrangement, the citizens of Mt. Joy,
Paradise and Mt. Zion, met on the 4th at Mt.
Joy. L. R. Carter was chosen President, John
Shaw, Sr., Wm. Wallace, Wm. Ogden, A. G.
Welch, John Owens, Hugh Orr, Martin Kline,
John Voung, Martin Nichols and George Car
ter, Vice Presidents, Richard Shaw and A. L.
Ogden, Secretaries, and Nathaniel Rishel,
Lblef Marshall. After the officers had taken
their scat, Mr. John W.Owen. ,ung an
them and delivered a prayer, and J. B. Shaw
read the Declaration of Independence. An
appropriate address was then delivered by Mr
jS'athaniel Ri.shcl. A sumptuous repast had
beeu prepared for the occasioned was heart
ily partaken of by about two hundred and fifty
persons. After dinner the assembly was again
called to oiucr, and addressed by Mr. John
W. Owens. A series of regular and a large
number of volunteer toasts were then read,
w&ichwe aro compelled, for want of room, to'
omit. The greatest cotdiality and good feel
ing prerailcd, and when the meeting adjourn
ed, it was with three hearty cheers, in which
old aud young participated.
We would here state that it is impossible
to publish the toasts and speeches, of celebra
tions, as they would fill our entire paper for
weeks. We trust this explanation will suffice
as our excuse to all.
The celebration in this borough was of a
rather diversified character. A large pic-nic
party had been got up, but in consequence of
the rain which fell during the previous night,
it was thought advisable to have the dinner in
the Town Hall. At 12 o'clock a large num
ber of ladies and gentlemen had assembled
there, and soon after all were seated around a
table laden with one of the best dinners it has
ever been our good luck to assist in eating.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, who prepared it, are
deserving of much praise for the manner in
which it was got up. About 4 o'clock a large
party took a trip to Curwensville and back in
carriages. "Young America," in the mean
time had also been busy, and congregating at
"Liberty Spring," had a "high time" of it.
In the evening a large crowd met in the square
in which the Town Hall is situated to witness
a brilliant display of fire-works. After the
pyrotechnic exhibition was over II. B. Swoope
Esq., was called upon and delivered a terse
and appropriate address. The crowd then
dispersed with three hearty cheers.
The "Clcb." The "Buchanan club" held a
second meeting on Monday night. The origi
nal 'twenty-four,' including boys and Ameri
cans, were present. An individual known
we believe, as "Corporal" Rote, delivered
himself, pronouncing Buchanan "not only the
flower of his State, but the flower of the U-
nion." The "corporal" himself is a "bios
som" in full bloom. He was followed by Col
Cuttle, the defeated aspirant for District At
torney, and T. J. McCullough, Esq., whose
speeches e didn't hear, being compelled to
leave, but have no doubt they were equally as
good as that of the illustrious "corporal."
Accident. As Joseph C. Brenner, Esq., of
Morrisdale, with his two sons and Mr. James
Thompson, was descending the first hill on
this side of Kylertown, on his return from the
celebration at that place, something got wrong
with the harness, which caused the horse to
run oil. The buggy, striking a tree, was bro
ken to pieces, and the persons in it were
thrown out. The youngest lad, aged 5 years
had his shoulder dislocated tnd his heal and
face much bruised, and Mr. Brenner received
some severe bruises about the limbs. His
other son and Mr. Thompson escaped with but
slight injuries. The horse was not found un
til the following day.
Lumbermen's Meeting. In pursuance of pub
lie notice previously given, a large and rcspec
table meeting of the lumbermen of Clearfield
Centre and Elk counties, convened in theCourt
House in the borough of Clearfield, on the 4th
Inst. On motion, Hon. Jas. T. Leonard, was
Wm. Porter, Vice Presidents, and James Ir
win and D. n . Moore. Secretaries. The ob
ject of the meeting bavins been stated. W. A
Wall tec, Esq., addressed the nieiHin" in favor
of legislative action to prevent the floating of
loose logs, etc., and concluded by moving that
there be a committee of seven appointed, to
report proceedings expressive of the sense of
tnis meeting. Whereupon the chair anoint
ed tho following named gentlemen said com
mittee, ; ilham Stewart, Daniel Rhoads, and
Dr. Jas. Irwin of Centre, and Wm. Powell, A.
u. onaw and Josiali i.Ihelni, of Clearfield,
ana wooert Koturock ol Elk. On motion the
meeting adjourned until half past six o'clock
Half past six, p. m. The meeting re-as-
senioled, when, on motion, Hon. G. R. Bar
rett addressed the meeting, urging the impor
tance oi umtea action on the part of all per
sons interested in the prosperity of Clearfield
county, to the end that tho rights of our I urn
bermen may be fairly protected. This, he
thought, could be accomplished without any
4 .1... : i i ... . , ".
iijuij w me rigms, or wunoui ttenianamg ol
others anything morp than our lumbermen are
compelled to do. When the Judge concluded,
the committee reported the following pream-
oie ana resolutions, which were unanimously
auufiieu :
Whereas, it has been fairly demonstrated
that the floating of loose saw logs on the Sus
quehanna river and its tributaries, and running
rafts in the usual way, cannot be carried on at
.lie same time. One or the other must cease,
and it becomes a question onlv, of whether the
free and uninterrupted navigation of these val-
uaoie highways shall continue open for the en
joyment of the mass of the people, or be mon
oponzea uy a lew. tor more than half a cen
tury the Susquehanna has been navigated bv
quantities of boards and square timber, well
rafted in rafts, navigated by skillful pilots.and
men sufficient to command them so as to have
due regard to the safety of the prosperity of
-acii oLuer. Millions ol dollars worth r.f lom-
ler has thus lound its way to market. No uni
claimed the right, nor would he have been
suftered to cast his lumber loose into the
stream,to obstruct the lawful and fair business
carried on upon it. Upon the truth that a
highway so long andprofilablv used .would con
tinue to be enjoyed, more than three hundred
saw mills have been erected in Clearfield coun
ty, besides a large number in Centre and Elk
counties, and are now in successful operation,
which if log floating is continued, must cease
to do business and prove utterly valueless. A
very large amount of capital has been invested
in the erection of sawmills that will be entire
ly lost. A large population have been brought
here, accustomed to the business of manufac
turing lumber, and relying upon it for the sup
port of themselves and lamiliess who will be
driven out of employment, and compelled, in
poverty, to seek a home elsewhere. Hundreds
of instances occur where men, in the hope of
continuing in a laborious, but honest calling,
have invested all they are worth in a saw mill
and timber, who, if rafting must cease, will be
ruined. Must all this be borne by the resi
dents of the lumbering region 1 "those who
pay the taxes, and have supported the country,
f rom its infancy to the present, merely to grat
ify a few timber owners, who have no interest
in common with us ? The 'lumbermen ask no
monopoly po protection of any kind that
they do not award to others. They are com
pelled to raft their lumber, place pilots and
men upon each raft and so navigate the
stream as to allow others to do the same
with a common degreee of safety. All they
ask in return is that those who choose to
navigate it with round logs, be compelled
to rait them together, and navigate the stream
iu the same way. There is no hardship in this,
and by pursuing that course the interests of
all parties Will ho nrntcctcil pmiallr. On fhfl
Delaware, and on the Mississippi river, logs
aro rafted together, and why not upon the
Susquehanna ? The booms constructed lor
the purpose of securing these loose saw logs,
have become no less an obstruction to the nav
igation, and should be abated as a nuisance.
It is not possible to so construct them as to
arrest the descent of tho logs without injuring
the descending navigation of our rafts, There
fore, Resolved, That we will petition the Legisla
ture to pass no further laws authorizing the
election of booms in the Susquehanna river,
for the reason that experience has proven them
to be a nuisance.
Resolved, That we will urge upon the next
Legislature the passnge of a law compelling
the owners of saw logs, before navigating the
stream with them, to raft them together iu the
usual way of rafting timber.
liesohed, That we will use all peaceable and
lawful means first, to obtain our rights in the
navigation of our public highways, in the hope
of obtaining legislative action to that end ;
but that peaceably or forcibly, the nuisance
must be abated. If the Legislature, to whom
we have a right to appeal, tuui a deaf car to
us, we must take other means to redress our
wrongs. We cannot allow onr mills to rot
down, and onr property to be rendered worth
less, until we have made the last effort to save
ourselves.
After the adoption of the foregoing procee
dings, on motion, the following named gentle
men were appointed a committee to superin
tend the carrying out of the objects of this
meeting, viz ; Ellis Irwin. Daniel Rhoads,
William Stewart and G. L. Reed.
Ou motion, Resolved, That when this meet
ing adjourns, it be to meet again on Monday
afternoon of the next August Court.
On motion, Resolved, That the proceedings
of this meeting bo signed by the offic-rs, and
their publication requested in the several pa
Iers of Clearfield, Elk, Centre and Clinton
counties. Jas. T. Leonarp, Prcst.

f ICONICS WON'T DO! They never did do
JL more than give temporary relief and they
never will. It is because they don't touch the
CAUSE i if the disease. The CAUSE of all ague
and bilious diseases' is the atmospheric poison cal
led Miasma or Malaria. Neutraliza this poison bv
iUXATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all diseases cau
sed by it disappears at once. Rhodes' Fever and
Ague Cure is this Antidote to Malaria, and more
over it i a perfectly harmless medicine. The cer
tificate of the celebrated chemist, J. R. Chilton,
of New York, to this efTect.it! attached to every
bottle; therefore if it does no good it can do no
harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine, Arsen
ic, or any tonie in existence, as their use is rnin
oustothe constitution and brings on DUMB AGUE,
whiih never allows a person to fell perfectly well
forasinglo moment. In illustration of these truths
I annex some extracts from a letter just received
from a Phvsieian :
GEORGETOWN. OHIO. March 17, lS.'.r...
-..JAS A. RHODES-. Eu. Dear Fir: Yours of
year and the difficulty in getting anv one' to trv it
was greatly increased from the fact that a remedy
had been introduced which was growing in favor
with the public, as living better than using Qui
nine, not knowing. I presume tho remedy they
used to csaipe taking Quinine, contained the drug
itself! The remedy, (known as -Smith's Tonic,'")
would invariably broak au ague.but it did liot cure
it. as it would return with renewed vigor. This
one circumstance I deemed in your favor, if I
could institute a test comparison between it acd
your euro. The following is the resnlt : Three
persons took your -cure," nil of which were cafs
of '-Quotidian Intermittent Fever,' of many weeks
standing. They had tried quinine, and other rem
edies, occasionally missing a chill, hot it was (as
in all such cases) slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other aud severer mala
dies. I did succeed in effecting a radical cure in
all three caes with your remedy, after '-Smith'tr
Tonie;: had failed. I think there will be no diffi
culty now in giving to your -Core" the vantage
ground of any otlivr remedy now in use here. &c.
WILLIAM BUCKNER. M. D.
Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to
Malaria, the only harmless remedj in existence, is
equally certain as a preventi va. as a -cure." Take
it when you feel tliecbill coming on. and von will
never have a single one. JAS. A. RHOADS,

penetrates through any bone or fleshy part of the

SORE LEGS. SORE BREASTS. WOUNDS AND
ULCERS.
Some of the most (ciemifie surgeons now rely
s dcly on the use of thw wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst cases of sored, ulcers,
wounds, glandular swellings, and tumors. Profes
sor Holloway has. by command of the Allied gov
ernments, dispatched to the hospitals of the East,
large shipments of this Ointment, to be used un
der the direction of tbe Medical staff, in the worst
cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu

even of 20 years' standing.

can be effectually cured if the Ointment bo well
