THE JOURML.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.
Sr. Andrew's Church. The uhject of dis
course for next Sunday night, 21st inst., is :
Monty -"the rcot of all evil." -
Expired the term of Win- Porter, Esq., as
Prothonotary, &c, of Clearfield county.
Retcesed Dr. Rhule to Glen Hope, as will

thonotary of this county, entered upon the du
ties of his office last week..
T. & C. R. R. An election for officers of the
Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad Company will
be held at Philipsburg on the second Monday
of January.
TV direct attention to the advertisement of
Joshua S. Johnson, who has removed his Ca
binet shop to Mr. John Troutman's new build
ing on Market street.
Ir "This is Mosey," the place to get the ar
ticle can be ascertained by consulting the ad
vertisement of Wxa. Tinthoff, who has opened
a Clock and Watch shop in Curwcnaville.
Special Attention is called to the adver
tisement of Thos. Robbins, who has a general
assortment ot Books, Stationery, Drugs, Med
icines, Jewelry, &c.
i. ShortWohk. By a notice in to-day's Jour
nal it will be seen that Frank Short has remov
ed his shop, and that he is prepared to supply
Ins former customers with new soles, or im
prove their old ones, at the lowest rates rew
customers same price.
Calitokkia. The steamship Texas from
San Juan brings two weeks later news from
California. The vote of California stood :
Buchanan 60,000 j Fillmore 35,000; Fremont
19,000. The Democrats have a majority in
both Houses of the Legislature.
Fast. As we were passing along the street
last Sunday, we heard a knot of Juveniles enu
merating the privileges allowed by their wor
thy sires, one of whom said bis father per
mitted hira to "smoke, swear and drink whis
key." Clearfield "Young Americans" are
liard to beat.
Papal Folly. At New York last week
Padre Baldassare, in a melange of poetry
and prose, which he delivered as a lecture on
the present condition of Italy, told his hear
ers that one of the most treasured of relics of
.Naples, was a groan of St. Joseph, carefully
secured in a small bottle !
Largk IIacl or Counter? eitehs. X.York,
Dec. 8. James M. Taylor & Brothers, Ex
change Brokers, corner of Chatham and James
streets, and a man named Williams, have been
arrested on the charge of dealing in counter
feit money. About$30,000 in counterfeit mo
ney was recovercd,mostly from$l to$20 notes.
Variable the weather. We have had with
in the last week all sorts of weather in fact
we had touches of all the seasons a couple
ot the days we were led to fancy "December
- as pleasant as May," and a few days after we
could easily have been convinced that the end
of the north pole was punching cs in the ribs.
The Aw 1'orfc Ledger, the great family
-weekly paper, for which the most popular wri
ters in the country contribute, has now attain
ed the extraordinary circulation of One Hun
dred and Ninety Thousand copies, and sub
scriptions are coutinually pouring in. See the
Ledger's advertisement in another column.
The Lewistown Gazette gives as a sign of
cold weather, that twenty-three young ladies
ia that town want partners. If the "sign" is
reliable, it will be uncndiirally cold in Clear
field, for here the want seems to be universal.
We trust the young men will adopt measures
immediately to prevent any disastrous degree
of cold.
Gold is a Bricktabd. By the recent news
from Californiaiit is stated that at SanAndreas,
during a rain, it was discovered that some
brick in a brickyard contained gold, and it be
ing found that the gold was more valuable than
the brick, the prop7jtors had turned a stream
of water on it, and were washing away the
whole brickyard.
Losses at Sea,. The month of November,
just passed, has been very disastrous in the
way of marine losses. Twenty-six vessels wcro
reported in the newspapers last month, as hav
ing been totally lost, involring a loss of pro
perty amounting to $1,375,800. The loss of
life by these same disasters was only one a
seaman. Verily, as Captain Cuttlo says, the
ocean is an "hawlmighty helement" in the
.destruction of property.
Removals is Kansas The President has
t last removed G. W. Clark, the alleged mur
derer of Barber, in Kansas, from the office of
Indian Agent in that Territory, and appointed
Isaac Winston, Whig, of Culpepper Co., Va.,
in his place. Mr. Clark was shielded by Gov
Shannon and Marshal Donaldson, and he has
not been arrested for the high crime alleged
Against him. Jndge Lecompte's turn will
come next, if President Pierce has pluck e
oough to remove him.
Poetical. We have within the last week or
two received more poetry than would fill the
Journal for a month. We have not had time
to examine the productions, but will do so as
oon as we can. Some of them may be good,
for aught we know, but Snooks we think was
right when he said that
"Not every man can be a poet, n
No more nor a sheep can be a go-at.
One of the productions is the history of a love
affair. The "lovycr," it would seem, was
"cut out" by a rival. He becomes disconso
late and irate. In the words of the writer :
"lie swears that his antagonist
Shall Buffer by bis band;
11 fears not ferocious beast,
Nor jet the face of man."
The lady in the meantime has "vamosed," as
appears by the following stanza :
"But she's crossed the Allegheny,
A journey for to go,
To keep house for a widower,
Over in Tuckeyhoe."
Who'll say that that isn't poetry.
Go it ! An Irish paper is trying to prove
that Mr. Buchanan i an Irishman.
On the th inst., a collision occurred on the
Railroad at Alliance, wast of Pittsburg, by
which nine persons were killed and 12 or 15
wounded. -
Two swixdleks calling themselves Lord Ar
thur John Hudson and Sir Charles Miller, were
arrested at Pittsburg last week. As usual,
sundry fools alter great men had their pock
ets scorched.
Devested. Reah Frazcr, Esq., of Lancas
ter, known as "the war horse of Democracy,"
has gone crazy and is now in the Insane Asy
lum in Philadelphia, caused by political and
financial excitement. -
The Indianapolis Journal says there were
C000 applicants for the post of Messenger to
carry the electoral vote of Indiana to Wash
ington. There were applicants from every
township in the State but two.
The candidates for the Legislature in a
county in Wisconsin were J. M. Root, Demo
cratic ; Robert Hogg, Free Soil ; T. II. Dye,
Know Nothing. So it was Root, Hogg, or
Dye, with the voters, sure enough.
Premonition of Evil. The singular fact is
stated that at Stillwater, Minnesota, Rev. A.
G. Nelson, Methodist-minister, broke down in
his Sunday morning sermon, and was so con
founded by the unaccountable and awkward
dilemma, that he summarily dismissed his con
gregation, ran home, and arrived there just in
season to save bis honso from destruction by
fire, which was well under way.
A Ladt Afloat. Alter all, hoops are not
without their advantages. An English paper
tells us that a lady was picked up by a pilot-
boat in the harbor of Ostend, whose head was
kept above water by her crinoline skirts.
When taken into the boat she was in an almost
senseless state ; but on recovering, refused to
tell her name or place of residence. She said
she had made her family aware of her inten
tion to commit suicide, and that she wonld ul
timately carry her determination out. We
presume that the next time she tries the ex
periment she will unhoop.
Latest from Nicaragca. Critical Position
of Gen. Walker. Latest advices from Nica
ragua state that Gen. Walker had been driven
from every place except the Transit route, and
at last accounts his forces, to the number of
four hundred men, were at Granada., surround
ed by the Costa Ricans and the forces of San
Salvador and Guatemala. The fighting had
continued for nine davs. Gen. Walker was on
board a steamer on the Lake, and without
communication w t his army. His men were
regarded as in a critical position, and were
suffering fot waut of provisions and clothing,
and dying off by disease. This news was
brought by the steamship Isabel, having ob
tained it from the passengers of the Tennes
see, from San Juan, Dec. 4th, on her way to
New York.
The Slave Excitement in Tennessee. The
Evansville Journal is informed by gentlemen
direct from Tennessee, that on the 9th, the
whole region from Memphis, throngh Clarks
ville and Dover, on the Cumberland river, was
in a state of the greatest alarm in regard to
the movements of the slave population. The
jails in all the counties were crowded with the
arrested blacks. The county courts had been
assembled in each county, and vigilance com
mittees and patrols appointed for each neigh
borhood and township. Eight more negroes
had been hung at Dover, making nineteen in
all. No act has yet been committed, Dut the
proof of insurrectionary designs is said to be
conclusive.
Col. Benton in the Senate Again. The
news from Missouri is that a coalition is form
ed between the Bentonian and Know-Nothing
members of the Legislature, by which Col
Benton and Luther M. Kcnnett will be elected
United States Senators from that State, their
being two Senators to elect. This will be a
crubher on the ultra border ruffian faction.-
There can be no question says the Cincinnati
Commercial, but that Mr. Buchanan's influence
is used in Missouri to have Benton returned to
the Senate. The administration papers of the
State, whose support to a great extent depends
upon official patronage, long so bitter on Bn
ton, are now silent. It is extremely probable
it is almost inevitable that the Senator for
six lustrums will be sent tack to his old seat
The Baker Trial. Who has forgotten the
Stanwix Hall Tragedy and the subsequent ova
tion to Poole the victim of the riot ? the es
cape of Louis Baker, the pursuit and capture
of him, his trial in New York, the new trial
ordered, the change of venue, etc ? The tel
egraph has given us from day to day within a
couple of weeks, items relative to the pro
grcss of tbo trial which has at length conclu
ded. The result of it may be summed up
thus:
The jurors, after being absent thirty hours
in consultation over the evidence, came out of
their room at they entered it, six for acquit
tal and six for manslaughter. Not the slight
est prospect of any agreement being thus af
forded by the lapse of time, the suttering
twelve were very properly discharged one of
the counsel remarking that he considered on
der restraint upon jurors, after they officially
announced "no prospect of agreement," to
be very nigh false imprisonment.
In view of the whole case and the charge of
Judge Peabody in it ; in which he remarked
that in cases like the one under consideration
the law of self defence is very broad, the New
York Times remarks that if another Stanwix
Hall shooting scrape comes off, the best way
for the Police and citizens to manage the at-
fair will be to bar the doors and have a Kil
kenny tragedy among the notors.-iVMOttrga
