    " THE -JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JANUARY 7, 1S57.
- TTe direct attention to the advertisement of
Sir. A. II. Baunian, of Tyrone, headed ''mo
ney, money." lie oflers the highest prico in
cash or stoTes for hides and skins.
Severe Tail. On New Tear's day, as Mwj.
John Iliscy, on his way home, was crossing
the river above town, on the ice, his feet slipp
ed and he fell. Ilia head striking the ice, he
was knocked insensible for some minutes, be
sides luring a gash cut into the back part of
liis head. Persons should be careful when
walking on slippery places.
OtR Carrier requests us to tender his
1 hanks to his np-street lady friends, who kind
ly remembered him on Christmas day, artd
wishes that the most propitious smiles of Pro
vidence may rest upon them. lie assures us
that ho did ample justice to tiie delicious cake,
a fact that we had ocular evidence of ourselves.
lie also returns his thanks" to those who re
sponded to his call on New Year's Day.
A ubrottpks. Mr. II. A. Purviance, of Al
legheny City, is now in Clearfield, engaged in
taking Auibrotype Likenesses. lie is a good,
rrtist, and will doubtless render satisfaction
to all who favor him with a visit, lie occu
pies the room of Mr. P. C. Purviance, one
door south of Merrell & Carter's stove depot.
As Mr. P. expects to remain but a few days,
those desiring superior likenesses should call
immediately at his rooms.
Fire in Ccrwe.nsvillk. At about 2 o'clock
on Tuesday morning, the 23d ult., a fire broke
out in the foundry of Jackson Robison, in Ctir
wensville, and consumed the entire building.
Although the citizens, a large number of whom
lurneikout, came too late to save the foundry,
yet by their commendable eflcrts prevented
the fire from spreading and destroying other
property. The loss of Mr. Robison is from
4300 to $500. We understand that he intends
rebuilding immediately.
Snow at Last. Ou last Friday night sev
eral inches ol snow tell here, which has had
nn enlivening effect upon everything. Sleigh
ing and sledding is going on briskly, and new
lit has been infused into cur lumbermen.
The river's banks will soon be covered with
timber, board, shingles, fee. We are not pre
pared to say whether lbs timber and lumber
business will be as heavy as last spring cruet.
It is certain, however, that the want of snow
has so far retarded operations to same extent.
Ccrwensville. We learn that by a census
recently taken of the neighboring town of
Curwensville, the number of inhabitants is
fixed at 511. This, we think, shows a consid
erable increase since the taking of the last
Xational census. The business transacted in
the place is large. The educational interests
of the town are well attended to. A Gne bi ick
school house, erected by a prominent and in
fluential citizen, is decidedly the liest building
in the county -for that purpose. There are at
present three schools in operation, having 119
nchol.trs. The free schools are open G months
in the y?ur. We presume there are few towns
in the interior of the State, of a proportionate
size, that can boast of raising as much of their
own Iivinr," as Curwensville. We have been
informed that f'l hogs were raised by private
families, and killed this season, producing in
the aggregiits 10,303 lbs. ol pork; also 3.500
11)3. of beef, 1,000 bushels of potatoes, and a
sufficient quantity of corn to fatten the prrk
:rs.' Thea-J are evidences of thrift, which
show what industry and' attention may accom
j.lish on a small pices of ground, and that the
people of that enterj rising town are wide a
w.ike to their interests.
Cleartied Co. Teachers' Institi te. This
association met at the To vn Hall in Clearfield,
on Saturday the 3d January, agreeably to no
tice previously given, and organized by ap
pointing Dr. A. T. Schryver, Co. Supt., Pres
ident pro. tern., L. J. Crans. Esq., and C. San
ford, Vice Presidents, and Miss 11. Goodlll
low and J. L. Morgan, Secretaries.
The President, being called upon, stated tiia
object of the meeting, at length, in a neat and
pertinent address. L. J. Crans, Esq., then, in
response to a motion, addressed the meeting,
showing the necessity and usefulness of such
associations, and closed by reading an essay on
the itnpoi tanc of the study of chemistry. On
motion, Win. C. Rote was called upon to de
liver an address. The' audience having select
ed Grammar for his subject, he treated it in a
masterly style. His remarks gave rise to con
siderable discussion, which was participated in
ly Dr. Schryver, Chas. Sanford, Win. S. Brad
ley, Jos. P. Martin, L. J. Crans, Esq., Miss II.
Goodfellow and J. L. Morgan. After which,
on request. Miss Goodfellow read an excellent
essay, entitled ''Passing Away." On motion
of Win. C. Rote, the authors of the essays
wore requested to furnish copies for publica
tion. A committee, consisting of Messrs.
isanford, Bradley and Rote, were, on motion,
appointed to prepare business for the next
meeting. On motion, adjourned to meet on
Saturday the 17th iusf. Signed by officers.
A Dreadful Typuoos Lots of a thousand
Lives. The North China IIerald,of September
10, which came to hand by the last steamer,
contains the following account of a terrible
typhoon and its appalling consequences:
Tho captain of a large junk from Bangkok has
communicated the following note on the dis
asters occasioned by a typhoon he encounter
ed on tho 12th cf August, on approaching the
Chusan Islands from the south : "We formed
one of a fleet of twenty two junka, bound to
. various ports from Shanghai? to Tientsin?.
On tho twelfth day of the moon the wind
blew fiiriouslv from the northweft, and sud
denly chopped around from the south, sev
enteen vessels soon foundered, and the remain
ing five Here dismatited. Wc also lost both
our double rudders. About one thousand
men perished in th:it storm. In consequence
f assistance liberally afforded by a steamer,
wvn pared from drowning and starving."

OTM Fact. If you want to gain a woman's
affections, don't appeal to her hand, but to her
feelings. One squeeze of the hand, or press

EF""Rich the burlesque on hoops, on New

was so large as to prevent the gentleman oc

to walk alongside to drive. The costume of

I7Tragical the tight in one of the bar
rooms in this place, on the Saturday between
Christmas and New Year's day. Fists and po

application of tho latter is calculated to make
Short work of a scrimmage, and raise bumps

C5"The man who thought he could learn to
make boots I y swallowing sherry cobblers, has
just got out a work in which he attempts to
prove that by eating hops you will acquire a
knowledge of waltzing. He must bo related
to a chap we know of, who used so much brim
stone that he Ins forgotten how to tell the
truth, imagining himself a scion of a certain
old chap, known as the "fatlier of lies." He
desires to kuep up the distinctive trait of the
family to which he belongs.
IXP""TnK Lion and the Ski se." The wri
ter of the article with this heading, in the last
Clearfield Republican, is certainly more face
tious than truthful. Besides making misrep
resentations, he omitted the final of the af
fair. He should have stated that, when mat
ters were becoming intensely interesting, the
animal, which he is pleased to call the 'skunk,'
suddenly backed out, burst more than a "sus
pcndei," and, consequently, was not visible
to the naked eye for some time after. Doubts
of his precise whereabouts for several days
were entertained, and probably it will always
remain a mystery ; though it is said that the
atmosphere in the vicinity of the Republican
o'.iiee was about, that time strongly impregna
ted with pole-cat perfumery. B'j t lint a it
may, if we judge the author of the article in
the Republican by his production, ho must
lack all the qualities of candor, common de
cency and manliness. As the cockney would
say, "Vot a very hintcrestin' hanimel he must
be." We think he would make o rare acqui
sition to a menagerie. Who bids for him I
