Rai Las been falling here during the last
48 hours, and there will doubtless be a "flood"

G. M. Dallas, U. S. Minister to London.has
succeeded in negotiating a treaty with Eng
land, settling all the points in dispute between
the two countries. It has been forwarded to
our government.
The Northwestern Conference of the Lu
theran Church assembled at this placo on last
Thursday. Several ministers and lay dele
gates were present, and considerable business
was transacted during the session of the con
ference. Twestt-ose girls and boys belonging to a
Methodist Sabbath school in Springfield, Mas
sachusetts, have each been presented with a
copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, as
a reward for perfect lessons during the last
quarter.
(jv. Adams, of South Carolina, has appoin
ted one hundred and seventy delegates to the
Southern Commercial Convent ion-which meets
on the 8th of December at Savannah. The
Mayor of Norfolk, Virginia, has also appoin
ted a large delegation.
The Government is preparing to send a
large force against the Florida Indians this
winter. The troops intended for this service
comprise nearly two and a half regiments, or
about 2,000 men, drafted from various posts
on tVe seaboard and at the northwest.
A ciiaxd banquet in honor of Anson Burlin
gatno, in which some 1200 persons, including
many ladies, participated, came off at Faneuil
Hall Boston, on Wednesday evening a-week.
The Call was beautifully decorated, and oppo
site the rostrum wcie "Fremont and Burlin
game for 18C0."
A Costlt bit of sport was recently indulged
in by a man living in Kentucky. Finding a
neighbor bathing in a pond, he assaulted and
beat him severely, "all in sport, and without
intending to hurt," as he said ; for which bit
of pleasantry & court and jury adjudged him to
pay tho subject of his "humor," $3,000.
Worth bbagcish about. We have the least
quantity of provisions, the highest prices, the
muddiest roads, and the finest prospect of
'hard times" in Clearfield of any county in
the interior of the State. We trust this flat
tering account won't induce too many to emi
grate at once "ono at a time" will answer.
Local Items are scarce. We should feel o
bliged to ony ono that would kick up a row,
(we don't mean oursolf,) or pull somebody's
no?o nnd raiso a fight, elope with some one's
wifo, get "bricks enough in his hat" to repair
the jail, rob a hen-roost, and as a matter of
conrso leave the pullets in our care, or do
somotliing else that would be worth noting.
A Love Letter in tue Ballot-box. When
the Judges of the election were counting out
the ballotj of tho llagerstown box, says The
Chrouide, they discovered a love-letter among
them, which in all probability, the devoted
swain had deposited instead of his tickot. As
there was no such candidate before tho peo
ple as the ono whose name was attached to the
letter, tho vote was, of course, lost.
Socm Carolina. The South Carolina Le
gislature met on Monday. he Governor in
his message, regards the recent election as
merely establishing a truce between tho North
and South. He advocates the revival of the
slave trade, and thinks that every branch of la
bor should bo in the hands of slaves. He re
fuses to lay belore the Legislature the resolu
tions of the New Hampshire Legislature,trans
mittcd through the Governor of that State.
Lbd Ore. A few days since, Mr. Isaac
Kline,of Bradford township, Clearfield county,
picked up incidentally on his faim, several
lumps of what proved to bo a rather pure
article of lead ore. Tho lumps when broken
are very bright, presenting almost the appear
ance of polished rinc, and when placed under
the action of a strong heat, resolve into mai
lable lead. We have a specimen in our pos
session. Should there be any considerable
quantity of this ore, it would prove very valu-
able. There is an old Indian tradition that in
tome part of this county there is lead ore of
such a pure quality that the "red men" made
bullets from it directly without its having un
dergone any purifying process. This oro was,
however, said to be in a different portion of
the county from where the above mentioned
w as found.
A kew apportionment of the State for Sen
ator and rcpreseuUtives, will be made by the
Legislature elected last October. Represent

Far West. The Indians in Washington
Territory, Oregon and the northern portion of
California have again been somewhat trouble
some, and parties of volunteers have been out
among them in the neighborhood of Little
Klamath Lake. The Indians having been a
ware of their approach, generally had fled and
few were killed. No more difliculties are an
ticipated from them this fall. Xear Sonora
the Diggers have been feasting and dancing a
mong themselves, and also near Los Angeles.
Anticipated Famine in Lapland. A lato
Stockholm paper says . "The intelligence we
receive from Lapland is very deplorable. The
severe cold which prevailed during the month
of August destroyed nearly all the crops.
-which is an almost irremediable misfortune
there, where there are no means of communi
cation. The Laplanders are in grae higHn,
foreseeing a famine in the winter. TrAP-biii-perature
in Lapland presented most extraordi
nary variations this year, severe cold having
prevailed in July and August, whereas Sep
tember and the beginning of October were as
warm as summer."
A Man Salted Down. A singular circum
stance recently occurred in Miller county, Il
linois. An old man named Wilson, apod pin-h-
i --a O
ty-six, died, having made arrangements with
certain persons not to bury him, but to have
his entrails taken out, put in a box, and placed
beside his coffin, which he has had over ten
years. He was then filled with salt and sownd
up with a grape vine or something of that sort.
He was then carried to tho repository of his
cotbn a cavity in a perpendicular bluff, about
flay or sixty feet from the bottom. About
200 persons were present.
CuiNEse War in California By advices
from Stockton, under date of Oct. 7. we learn
that a fight occurred near Mound Spring, on
the Sonora road, about 55 miles from the city,
on Saturday previous, at noon, between two
parties of Chinese- There was no general en
gagement, but several skirmishes took place,
in which four persons were killed and as many
wounded. There were about two thousand
five hundred combatants engaged ou both
sides, all armsd and equipped. Many had fire
arms. A stop was put to the hostilities by a
Sheriff's posse, assisted by citizens. Some two
hundred and fifty arrests were made.
Colored Spffrace in Louisiana. In Lou
isiana, it appears that there is a precinct, in
Alexandria, known as the "ten mile precinct,"
controlled entirely by a colony of free negroes,
who at the late election voted unanimously
for Buchanan, Fillmore getting the vote of
the ouly white man in the place. Tho Alex
dria American considers it an outrage that
these persons should ho allowed to vote, but is
glad they voted as they did. They were real
black voters, but not "Black Republicans."
By what "Plaqueming" process they contriv
ed to control the election in a State whero
they are not allowed to vote by law, is not ex
plained. Mexico. By New Orleans dates of Nov. 20,
we learn that the schooner Major Barbour,
frora Coatzacoalcas River, reports having been
fired into on the 12th October, bv ihe Mexican
war steamer Dcmocrata. Persons on board
the schooner were also fired at from tho stea
mer. The commander of the Democrata fired
a pistol at Capt. Thompson of the Major Bar
bour. The Democrata seized tho Mexican
Custom House, and made the officers prison
ers. It is stated in private letters received
from Tamaulipas that a pitched battle was
fought on the 10th November, near Monterey,
between the forces of Vidauri and Garza, in
which the latter lost everything, barely saving
his own life. It is thought that Vidauri's suc
cess will have great effect on Commonfort's
government.
THE COURT HOUSE.
T'je fallowing is that portion of the present
ment of the Grand Jury, at the recent session
of the Court at Clearfield, which relates to tho
improvement of the Court House, which we
publish at the request of several persons. Tho
Grand Jury say :
"We have examined the Court House and
are of opinion that it should be improved to
meet the wants of the present condition and
population of the county. Built as it was over
thirty years ago, when the population and bu
siness of tho county could well be accommo
dated in it, it was suflicient and indeed a cred
itable edifice ; but the growth of tho county
has rendered a larger building absolutely ne
cessary. Tho people of the county have a
right to demand it. It is a building for their
accommodation, and in which tltey desire to
be, and have a right to be during the sitting
of the courts. Now they cannot have seats
nor be made comfortable, and therefore do not
enjoy a visit to the sitting of the courts. Be
sides a want of the proper space and seats for
the people produces a noise and confusion in
court that must retard the public business.
The county is amply able to afford a good
building, and the present condition of her fi
nances will warrant its commencement next
season. Wc think the County Commissioners
should at once adopt a plan, and commence
the work.
Tjie Grand Jury think the rear wall should
be removed and the side walls extended back
to the offices, and that the Court room should
be on the second story, and the Jury rooms
on the first floor." When this is done, a good
iron fence should be put round the yard and
the frout and south sides paved with brick.
All these improvements are necessary to make
the building what it should be ; what the wants
of the county require ; and to make it corres
pond with similar buildings in adjoining coun
ties. Clearfield county is not behind our sis
ter counties in means, and wo should not be in
enterprise and ambition."

been impaired, as its invigorating properties never
