A ViotEXT Storm of Rain and Ilail 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. !
KrH-OFF. As Mr. John McClelland, of this
borough, was driving in a buggy np-street, on
bis 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.
inien opposite the jail, the aff righted anifual
turned quickly to the right,' and after crossing
the plank side-walk, Mr. McClelland succeed
ed in running him against the jail with such
force as to throw him. The buggy was broken,
and the horse received some injuries. It
seems almost miraculous that Mr. M. and his
family escaped without serious injury v :
Great Democratic Meeting .-A grand
"Rally" of the Democracy took place at tho
Court Ilouse in this Borough on the evening
of the 4th of Jnlyi The gathering was im
mense ! there being actually twenty-four per
sons present, five of whom were Americans.
The proceedings were of a little the raciesf
character. J udge Barrett was called upon and
responded in a lengthy speech.. W e are of o
pinion, as His Honor himself intimated in the
beginning of his remarks, that it was highly
improper for him, occupying a position on the
Judicial bench, to take an active part in poli
tics. He, however, seemed to have soon for
gotten this, and warming up, delivered him
self of "that same old tune" he has been in
the" habit of playing for over' a quarter of a
century. Perhaps he had some Democratic
blood in hi veins that was troubling him, and,
like 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 dcio 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
vania he supposed every person was for the
"favorite son," but on bis arrival in Hunting
don, where he first stopped, he fonnd no Bu
chanan men there. He proceeded to Tyrone
and fonnd none there came on to Philipsburg
and fonnd none there, 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
bo 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 8toniacli3,and
we very much fear, notwithstanding they are
provided with a "pump," that they'll have to
get cither 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 healthy condition.
The Fourth. The 80th Anniversary of A
nierican Independence was celebrated at a
number of places in this county. In Bradford
township there was a fine celebration, between
800 and 1,000 persons being present. Several
Sabbath Schools had joined, and together with
the citizens generally, assembled on the old
camp-ground, near Lowndsberry's, where ap
propriate addresses were delivered by Rev.
Crowl and Rer. Bonewell and H. B. Swoope,
Esq. A most excellent dinner had been pre
pared for the occasion, and was eaten with the
liveliest relish.
At Kvlertowx there was also a very spirited
celebration, at which Mr. Isaac England acted
as Marshall of the day. Eloquent addresses,
appropriate to the occasion, were delivered by
J. C. Brenner, and II. B. Swoope, Esqa. The
proceedings were characterized by tho utmost
good feeling and harmony. In the evening,
it was contemplated to have a brilliant display
of fire-works. . -
At CcRWExsviitE, we understand, there was
an 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.
Mouxt 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, Hngh Orr, Martin Kline,
John Young, Martin Nichols and George Car
ter, Vice Presidents, Richard Shaw and A. L.
Ogden, Secretaries, and Nathaniel Risbel,
Chief Marshall. After the officers had taken
their scats, Mr. John W. Owens sung an an
them and delivered a prayer, and J. B. Shaw
read tho Declaration of Independence. An
appropriate address was then delivered by Mr,
Nathaniel Risbel. A sumptuous repast had
been prepared for the occasion.and was heart
ily partaken of by about two hundred and fifty
persons. After dinner the assembly was again
called to oidcr, and addressed by Mr. John
W. Owens. A series of regular and a large
number of Volunteer toasts were then read,
which we are compelled, for want of room, to
omit. The greatest cordiality and good feel
ing prevailed, and when the meeting adjourn
ed, it was with three hearty cheers, in which
old and young participated.
fWe would here state that It la Ininossil.l
to publish the toasts and speeches, of celebra
tions, as they would fifl our entire naner for
weeks. We trust this explanation will suffice
as our excuse to all. s .
The celebration in this borough Was of a
rather diversified character. : A largo 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. "Yonng America," in the mean
time had also been bnsy, 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,
wo believe, as "Corporal" Rote, delivered
nmself, pronouncing Buchanan "not only the
lower of his State, but the flower of the U-
nion." The "corporal" himself is a "blos
som" in full bloom. He was followed bv Col.
Cuttle, the defeated aspirant for District At
torney, and T. J. McCuIlough, Esq., whose
speeches we didn't hear, being compelled to
leave, but have no doubt thev were eauallv 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 oft". 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 and 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
lic notice previously given, a large and respec
table meeting of the lumbermen of ClearQcld,
Centre and Elk counties, convened in thcConrt
House in the borough of Clearfield, on the 4th
inst. On motion, lion. Jas. T. Leonard, was
appointed President ; C. Kratzcr, Jas. A. Reed,
Wm. Porter, Vice Presidents, and James Ir
win and D. W. Moore. Secretaries.. The ob
ject of the meeting having been stated, W. A.
all.ice, L,sq., addressed the meeting in favor
of legislative action to prevent the floatin'g of
loose logs, &c, and concluded by moving that
there be a committee of seven appointed, to
report proceedings expressive of the sense of
this meeting. W hereupon the chair appoint
ed tho following named gentlemen said com
mittee, William Stewart, Daniel Ithoads, and
Dr. Jas. Irwin of Centra, and m. Powell, A.
B. Shaw and Josiah Willhclm, of Clearfield,
and Robert Rothrock of Elk. On motion the
meeting adjourned until half past six o'clock.
Half past six, p. m. The meeting re-as-sciublod,
when, on motion, Hon. G. R. Bar
rett addressed the meeting, urging the impor
tance of united action on the part of all per
sons interested in the prosperity of Clearfield
county, to the end that the rights of our luni-
bermeu may bo fairly protected. This, he
thought, could be accomplished without any
injury to the rights, or without demanding of
others anything more than our lumbermen are
compelled to do. When the Judge concluded,
the committee reported the following pream
ble ami resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted :
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
the same time. One or the other must cease,
and it becomes a question only, of whether the
free and uninterrupted navigation of these val
uable highways shall continue open for the en
joyment of the mass of the people, or be mon
opolized by a few. t or more thin half a cen
tury the Susquehanna lias been navigated by
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
each other. Millions of dollars worth of lum
ber hxs thus found its way to market. No one
claimed the right, nor would he have been
suffered 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 and profitably used,woull con
tinue to be enjoyed, more than three hundred
saw mills have been erected iu ClearCeld 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 saw mills 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 faraiuess who will be
driven out of employment, and compelled, in
poverty, to seek a home elsewhere. Hundreds
of instances occur where men, in tho hope of
continuing in a laborious, but honest calling,
have invested all t!:ey 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 T those who
pay the taxes, and have supported the country,
from its infancy to the present, merely to grat
ify a few timber owners, who have no interest
in common with us 7 The lumbermen ask no
monopoly po protection of any kind that
tbey do not award toothers. 1 hey are com
pelied to raft their Inmbcr, 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 raft them together, and navigate the stream
in the same way. There is no hardship in this,
and by pursuing that course the interests of
all narties Will be proiecwu equally. On the
Delaware, and on the Mississippi river, logs
are rafted together, and why not upon the
SusnuehannaT The booms constrncted for
the purpose of securing these loose saw logs,
nave 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 the logs without injuring
the descending navigation of our rafts, There
fore, - :
Resolved, That wc will petition the Legisla
ture to pass no further laws authorizing tho
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 passage of a law compelling
the owners of saw logs, before navigating the
stream w ith them, to raft them together in the
usual way of rafting timber.
Resolved, 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 ;
bnt that peaceablv or forcibly, the nuisance
must be abated. It the Legislature, to whom
we have a right to appeal, tuin a deaf ear to
us, we must take other means to redress our
wrongs. We cannot allow our mills to rot
down, and our 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,
W illiam Stewart and G. L. Reed.
On 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 be signed by the olfic-.rs, and
their publication requested in the several pa
pers of Clearfield, Elk, Centre and Clinton
counties. Jas. T. Leonard, Prcst.

TONICS WON'T DO! They nercrdid do
more than give temporary relief and they
never will. It is because thev don't touch the
CAUSE of Ihe disease. Tho CAUSE of all ague
and bilious diseases is the atmospheric poison cal
led Miasma or Miliaria. Neutralize this poison by
its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and nil diseases cau
sed by It disappears t once. Rhodes' Fever and
Ague Cure is this Antidote to Malaria, and more
over it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The cer
tificate of the celohrated chemit, J. R. Chilton,
of New York, to this effect, is 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 ne is ruin
ous to the constitution and brings nuDUMB AGUE,
whioh never allows a person to full perfectly well
forasinglo moment. In illustration of these truths
I annex some extracts from a letter just received
from a Phvsician :
GEORGETOWN. 0U10. March 17. 1S55.
JAS. A. RHODES, Esq. Dear Sir : Yours ef
2d inst. is at hand. The Cure arrived late last
year and the difficulty iu getting any one to try it
was greatly increased from the fact that a remedy
had been introduced which was growing in favor
with the public, as being better than using Qui
nine, not knowing, I presume tho remedy they
used to escipe taking Quinine, contained the drug
itself ! The remedy, (known as "Smith's Tonic,"")
wonld invariably break an agne,but itdid not cure
it, as it would return with renewed vigor. This
one circumstance I deemed in your favor, if I
could institutes test comparison between it and
your euro. The following is tho result: Three
persons took your "curc,': nil of which were cases
of '-Quotidian Intermittent Fever," of many weeks
standing. They had tried quinine, and other rem
edies, occasionally missing a chill, but it was (as
in all such eases) slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer mala
dies. I did succeed in effecting a radical cure in
all three eases with your rcmody, after '-Smith's
Tonic' had failed. I think there will be no diffi
culty now in givin to your Cnro" the vante
ground of any other remedy now in nse here. Ac.
WILLIAM" BUCK N Elt. M. 1.
Rhodes' Fever and Ague Core, or Antidote to
Malaria, the only harmless reined in existence, is
equally certain as a prevcntivs.as a "cure." Take
it when you feel thcehiil coming on, and you will
never have a single one. JAS. A. KHOADS,

der tho direction of the Medical staff, in the worst
cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu
lar swelling, stiffness or contraction of the joints,
