Committed. On last Wednesday, two young
men, named Hawkenberry 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
fr6m some $25 or $30 in money.
Drowned. We understand that a young boy
living with Samuel Tate, of Lawrence town
bip, was drowned on Monday evening, by fal
ling into ft newly dug well, which was covered
Tvith 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
falling 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 or Hacks has been started by
Gen. A. M. Hills, between this place and
Eidgeway, Elk county, to make two trips &
week. This will be a great accommodation,
and we 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 OrricEs. A new post office has
been established at Ansonville, in this county,
and Miss Eliza Chas, appointed post mistress ;
ancL another at Earhard's mill, called New
Millport, and D. R. Mokle appointed post mas
ter. If any of our subscribers wish to have
their papers directed to either of the new offi
ces, 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 are 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. Spack
mau, in this borough, who is the authorized
agent for this county.
apt. Hexrt Groe, agent of the Pioneer
Mill!, on tho Moshannon, in Morris township,
presented us with a sample of wheat flour,
manufactured at the above mills, which, after
fair trial, we do not hesitate to pronounce su
perior brand, and the best that we have tried
for some time. The Captain is a clever and
accommodating man, and those who are desi
rous of procuring gp.od flour, might do well to
give him a call before purchasing elsewhere.
Giant Rut'UABB. Mr. Lewis Carter, of Law
rence township, left with us a specimen of the
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 Inst
Thursday evening passed off fitely and to the

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 he
ever by acts shown that he is a grc.it States
man ? What has he dono 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 we knew of
is embraced in certain speeches he made,
v4z : the one in which he threatened to let the
Democratic blood out of his veins and his fa
mous 10-ccnt speech ; to say nothing of thoso
in the Clay campaign in which ho declared
Folk a better Tariff man than Clay and of
the fact that he now stands on a platform which
unequivocally advocates free trade. Oh ! con
aistancy f Of a truth, by such men art thou
forced into forgetfulnc6s !
Courtino in the country, eays the Syracuse
Standard, is altogether a different institution
from tho city article. In the former place you
get rosy Hps, sweet cider, johnny cake and
girls made of nature ; and in the latter a col
lection of starched phrases, formal manners,
fine silk, jewelry, and girls got up "in hoops.
Always take the rural district when you want
to got a rood style of calico. We give this
advice from experience.

rpO.NICS WON'T DO! They nevsrdid 4e
JL more than give temporary r-!if and they
never will. It ia because they don't touch tha
CAUSE of lhe disease. Tho CAUSE ef all ago
and bilious diseases is the atmoapherio poison cal
led Minima or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all dUeascs cau
sed by it disappears at onoe. Rhodes' Fever and
Ague Cure is this Antidote to Malaria, and more
over it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The cer
tificate of the eclobrated chemist, J. R. Cbiltoa,
of New York, to this effect, ia attached to every
bottle ; thereforo if it does no good it can do ni
harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine, Artea

JAS. A. RHODES, Esq. Dea Sir: Your of

year and the difficulty in getting any one to try it
was greatly increased from the fact Oiat a remedy
had been introduced which was growing in favor
with the public, as being better than using Qui
nine, not knowing, I presume the remedy they'
used to escu pe taking Quinine, contained the drac
itself ! The remedy, (known as -'Smith's Tonic,,fi
would invariably broek an ague. but itdid not euro
it, as it would return with renewed vigor. Thf
one circumstance I deemed in your favor, if 1
could institute a test comparison between it and
your cure. The following Is the result : Threw
persons took your "cure," all of which were cajes
of 'Quotidian Intermittent Fever," of many wecka
standing. They had tried quinine, and other rem
edies, occasionally missing a chill, but it was (as
in all such oaes) slowly wearing itm out, and
laying tho foundation of ctLtr and severer mala
dies. I Hi succcod in effecting a radical cure in
a", threo cases with your remedy, after '-Smith's
Tonic" had failed. I thiak there will bo no dit
culty now in giving to your '-Cure" the vantsg
ground of any other remedy now In u;e here. Ac.
