On last "Wednesday, two young tnen, named Iiawkenberry and Stigert, were committed to the county jail, charged with breaking into the store of Ben. Hartshorn, at Lumber City, on the 4th, and taking there from some $25 or SCO in money. Drowsed. We understand that a young boy living with Samuel Tate, of Lawrenco town ship, was drowned on Monday evening, by fal ling into a newly dug well, which was covered with loose boards. lie had been in several hours before he was discovered. Accident. On last Sabbath, the second daughter of Lewis Cardon, "of Lawrence town ship, had a severe gash cut in her head by the filling of an axe, which had been stuck up in a shed through which she was passing at the time. Some difficulty was experienced in checking the flow of blood. A New Line of Hacks has been started by Gen. A. M. Hills, between this place and RCdgcway, Elk county, to make two trips a week. This will be a great accommodation, and wo trust a liberal patronage will be exten ded to the line. "We invite attention to an ad vertisement relative to the same, in another portion of to-day's paper. New Post Offices. A new post office has been established at Ansonville, in this county, and Miss Eliza Chase, appointed post mistress ; and another at Earhard's mill, called New Millport, and D. K. Mokle appointed post mas ter. If any of our subscribers wish to have their papers directed to either of the new ofli ccs, they will please inform us of the same. To Farmers.- We direct the attention of the farmers of this county to the advertise ment of S. & S. Wilson's portable threshing machines in to-day's Journal. These ma chines, we are assured arc a very superior ar ticle, and will be, furnished on the most rea sonable terms. Those desirous of procuring these threshers should leave their orders at as early a day as possible with Mr. Benj. Spade man, in. this borough, who is the authorized agent for this county. Capt. IIexrt Groe, agent of the Pioneer Mill, on the Moshannon, in Morris township, presented us with a sample of wheat Jlour, manufactured at the above mills, which, after fair trial, wedonot hesitate to pronounce su perior brand, and the best that wc have tried for some time. The Captain is a clever and accommodating man, and those who are desi rous of procuiing good flour, might do well to give him a call before purchasing elsewhere. Giant Rucbarb Mr. Lewis Carter, of Law rence township, left with us a specimen of the above rhubarb, which is ahead of anything of the kind we have yet seen. lie says that one root produced 20 pounds of stalk for cooking purposes. The Exhibition at the Town Hall on last Thursday evening passed oIT finely and to the satisfaction of all present. The performers acquitted themselves creditably. The number of persons in attendance was very large. Makrieu On the 3d July, by J.W.Wright, Esq., Mr. Abraham Warrick to Miss Ellen C. IfEVEuT.r, all of Beccaria. On Thursday the l'.th inst., by the Rev. S. M. Cooper, Mr. William Albert to Miss Nan cy M. Cross. On the same day, by the same, Mr. Thomas Riley to Miss Sarah P. Thomas, all of Clear field county. Died On Sunday morning, the 13th, Mrs. Powell, wife of Joseph Powell, of Brad ford township. On the 3d July, Catharine, wife of Peter Laborde, of Union township, aged 40 years and C months. On the 22d June, Mr. Jacob Hoors, of Mor ris tp., aged C7 years. James Buchanan. The Lehigh Patriot, a spirited German paper, says: We hear from many quarters,that James Buchanan is a great Statesman. Now, we are willing to give him all the honor that is due him we would not assist in despoiling him of the least particle. But we must still earnestly ask : Where has lie Ter by acts shown that ho is a great States man ? What lias he done in the many years he has served in the Government, which enti tles him to this appellation ? When compar ed with that of Clay, Webster, Cass, Clayton, Crittenden, and hundreds of others, the states manship of James Buchanan, of a truth, falls far in the background. The strongest evi dence of his Statesmanship, that wc knew of is embraced in certain speeches he made, viz : the one in which he threatened to let the Democratic blood out of his veins and his fa mous 10-ccnt speech ; to say notLing of those in the Clay campaign in which he declared Polk a better Tariff man than Clay and of tho fact that he now stands on a platform which unequivocally advocates free trade. Oh ! con aistancy ! Of a truth, by such men art thou forced into forgetfulness ! Courting in the country, says the Syracuse Standard, is altogether a different institution from the city article. In the former place you get rosy lips, sweet cider, johnny cake ' and girls made of nature ; and in the latter a col lection of starched phrases, formal manners fine Bilk, jewelry, and girls got up "in hoops." Always take the rural district when you want to get a good style of calico. We givo this advice from experience. A witty editor who has just failed says he did it with all the honors of war, and retired from the field with colors flying sheriff's flags faltering from two windows and the door. Mohe Trouble. There are signs of a South era insurrection against Buchanan. New pledges will probably be required relative to squatter sovereignty. CLIPPINGS AND SCRIBBLINGS. New Battle Cry. In Erie county, the Re publican watchword is "Fremont ond Free Salvation !" Getting Pccnaciovs some of our citizens. We've only had about half a dozen squabbles within the last week. 'Bcsted' that dinner bell over the way, and the young man that had a superabundance of building material in his hat. The Carbondale (Luzerne Co. Pa.) Trans' cript, has hauled down the Fillmore flag and run up that of Fremont and Dayton. Vivid Imagination after indulging freely to get on "all-fours" and suppose you're go ing up-hill. "That's the way to go it !" Overdosed our "devil" with laudanum. We call that stopping the diarrhoea with a ven geance ! Stopped his locomotive powers also ! The New-York, New-Foundland and London Telegraph Company, have succeeded in recov ering, in good order, a large portion of their sub-marine cable, lost some time since. At a Fremont ratification meeting atPatter son, New Jersey, Samuel Smith, Esq., Demo cratic Mayor of the city, and one of the pro prietors of the New Jersy Locomotive works, presided. Costa Rica. The war is at an end for the present the Costa Ricans have lost 700 men. There are not laborers enough to harvest the coffee crop, a large portion of which will be lost in consequence. Since Mr. Buchanan has been nominated for President, at the Baltimore market and other places, a ten cent piece is called a Jim my," it being the price for a day's labor that he said would spread blessings and benefits over the country. Can't Go It. The Pulaski Democrat, the Democratic organ lor Eastern Oswego county, refuses to go the Buchanan ticket. Its edi tor Mr. Hatch, was the Democratic candidate for .Senator last fall, lie has resolved he cant travel the "downward road" any farther. Nicaragua. Walker is receiving men and provisions from New Orleans. The country is under martial law, and no one is permitted to leave without a pass from Walker. -All cor respondence is detained and examined. Walk er intends to commence hostilities against Costa Rica about the middle of July. The Way They Do in Missodri. A Mrs. An derson, of Bourbonton, Mo., lately cowhided her husband. He had seen fit to go away with a woman, but, becoming weary of her, had re turned to his first love. Mrs. A. received her recreant spouse with open arms and a long cowhide. With the latter she inflicted sixty lashes upon him in the presence of all of her neighbors. M r. A thinks he "won't run away any more." State Ejections On the first ATmtly,4tU of August, elections w ill be held in the States of Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Iowa; and on the first Thursday, Cth of Au gust, in North Carolina and Tennessee. On September 3d, in Vermont and California, and September 8th, in Maine. On tho 1st Monday of October, 7th, in Georgia and Florida, and on the second Tuesday, 14th of October, in Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana. A Terrible Tornado passed over Franklin county, N. Y. on the 8th, sweeping down for ests, scattering fences, destroying all manner of buildings and other property and leaving nothing but desolation on its track. The vil lage of Chateaugay is a complete desolation not a building escaped injury and some are entirely destroyed. Riding along tho road from Burke to Chateaugay, one hundred and eighty-five buildings can bo counted cither unroofed, blown down or moved. Col. Fremont and Slaveholding. Allud ing to the statement that Col. Fremont is a slaveholder, the editor of the Milwaukie Free Democrat states, "on the authorit' of John C. Fremont himself, that ho never owned a slave, and was always opposed to the practice of holding slaves, and resolved,early in life, nev er to be implicated in the business of buying, selling or holding men and women as chattels. This we had from the lips of both John C. Fre mont and his accomplished lady." The Trial of Preston S. Brooks, for his as sault on Senator Sumner took place ic the Criminal Court at Washington on the bth. After hearing the evidence, Judge Crawford pronounced the judgment of Court, which was that Brooks pay a fine of $300. This is the heaviest fine for assault and battery that wo ever knew to be imposed, and shows in what light the assault was regarded. The matter has yet to undergo investigation in the House of Representatives, where, if justice is meted out to him, he will still receive a severer rep rimand by being expelled. In a Fix. The Democracy of Jefferson co, arc in a regular "fix" just now. At their coun ty convention held on the 2nd instant, they declared that Hon. D. Barclay was their choice for Congress, and delegate to the State con vention. Since then Mr. Barclay has taken a step in favor of admitting Kansas as a Free State, which has caused the Locofoco papers in the district to pour out their vials of wrath upon him. How the Jefferson Democracy will get out of the scrape, remains to be seen. The Jeflersouian refuses to place his name at its masthead. It is certainly amusing to the lookers-on. Hollcuay's Pills are an excellent Family Medicine, and recommended to all sufierers with diseases of the Liver and Stomach. The surprising effect of these wonderful Pills have naturally made them an universal favorite with the citizens of the Union, as well as to all oth er inhabitants of all other parts of the world, as they are the best and safest remedy for all disorders of the liver and stomach ; and to tho bilious sufferer they are invaluable. It is un disputably admitted that these Pills have nev er been known to fail to cure these disorders when used in accordance with the direction which accompany each box. JOS. JE.

The CAUSE of all agu and billous diseases is the atmospheric poison cal led ni'.aimJiCrMalaria. Neutralise this poison by its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, ei:d all d iseases cau sed by it disappears at once. Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure is this Antidoto to Malaria, and more over it is perfectly harmless medicine. The cer tificate ftf the celebrated chemist, J. R.
