LEARFJELD, PA., JANUARY 21, 1837.
Tub Baptist Cucbcii of Clearfield will hold
. their nextcotntuntiiun" on the first S-ibbitli
in February, in the Lutheran meeting-house.
The meetings will commence on Thursday
. evening preceding the first Sabbath.
- Uelioiocs StHvicks. 'lb Rev. John A.
. Qevr, Agent of the Sunday School Union of
the M. L. Church, will preacli in the Methodist
Church in CL-arfleld, on Sunday the 2oth Jan.,

Bi rned. -On Monday morning, a child of
Mr. 2. K. SIc.Uullin, of Laurence township,
fell from a chair, on which it was sitting, a
giinst a hot stove, burning its face and bands
kurvrely, the skin coming off its hands.
AcciDEST.--On Tuesday of last week, as Mr.
Aaron llarttuan, of Lawrence township, on his
-way from Tyrone to this place, was descend
ing a hill a couple miles this side of riiil:ps
burg, his sled struck something which caused
It to fly around and throw otT Mr. II., who,
falling between the sled-runner and a log at
the road-side, was knocked insensible atid re
ceived some severe wounds about his head.
Last Wednesday evening we had the plea
sure of spending a f.-w hours at the house of
our friend Ben. Hartshorn, Esq., who had in
vited us, in company with several other gen
tlemen, to assist in "discussing" the merits of
a fine, well-roasted turkey. Tho most fastid
ious epicure could Lave found no fault with it,
and, if we are permitted to judge others by
ourselves, the most ample justice was done to
the "subject," as well as to tlie other "creature
comforts" with which the table was bountiful
ly supplied, and which were gotten tip in a
manner that gave us the most exalted opinion
of tho skill and good taste of thosa who pre
pared ' t Item. "Lorg may they wave."
OL-ttWENSVII-LE AND 1IXE Tp. LvCEUM AND
Teaciieus Association. This society met at
the new school-house in Curwensville, o:i Sat
urday tiia KUh Jan., agrec'.i.'ny to notice pre
sous!y given, a:;d organized by appointing
Gen. John Patton, President pro. teni., V7ni.
Irvin, Esq., and Jesse Broomall, Vice Presi-
-dents, and I). M. Kiiitcr. Secretary. A com
mittee of three persons having been appoint
ed at a previous meeting to draft resolutions,
then reported the following, which were unan
imously adopted :
Whereas, It is the glory ' our system of
common schools that they are tho schools of
tho People extending the privilege of an cd
ucatiou alike to all and Is one of thj safe
guards of our Republic ; anil as we firmly be
licve fhe present school system of Pennsylva
nia is well ad iptcd to redeem and advance the
. sadly neglected cause of popular education in
the State, and is well worthy of the public
confidence and support; Therefore
Resolved, That wo renew our allegiance to
this great cause, and pledge our undividual
and united influence as teachers and patrons,
and call upon the teachers and citizens in the
County and Commonwealth to join us in o
cfiotts to raise aloft its standard and make its
tiamu what it deserves to be, ainsme of praise
and excellence ; and that we cordially co- pe-
rte with our Co. Superintendent, Dr. Schry
Yer, in his arduous and untiring efforts to e!e
Tate the condition of the common school iu
the county.
Resolved, That as moral training should ever
bo a prominent element in ail our systems of
education, it is our conviction that the Scrip
tures should be read daily in all our common
schools, without note or comment.
Resolved, That we recognize Associations,
Conventions and Institutes, as eiScient means
of prepaiing teacher3 for their calling, and of
advancing the? great cause of popular educa
tion.'and lliat w consider it their duty to avail
themselves of their bobcats as often as possible.
Resolved, That a State Normal School should
Lo established, and that teaching should be e
vated to tho rank of a profession, and tint the
welfare of thi common schools would be great
ly promoted bv cstali!isliiiijr a normal school
in each county in tho Stale, to be taught three
months each year.
ResolceJ, That it is the decided opinion r
this meeting that tho School Directors of this
Borough and Townthip should adopt a uniform
system of class books throughout the schools
and wo deem it tho most expedient plan of ef
fecting this classification for the Directors to
introduce at the public expense such books as
they may adopt.
Resolved, That irregular attendance of schol
sirs is one of the greatest evils in our common
schools.
Resolved, That we carpestly recommend the
citizens of this borough and the .chool district
adjoining it, as a measure eminently conda
ivc to elevato th t standard of Education a
mong us, to unite and form a graded school at
as earl" a day as consistent ; and that the Bor
ugh and Township form a high school to be
located in this borough for the purpose of af
fording a more liberal education to those
scholars who have become more advanced in
our common schools. .

CP"It is said that the Klamath county, Cal

staple and chain attached. It is well ventila

study of astronomy and tho barometer, espe
cially wheu blankets are scarce.
CTA great mouse hunt, says a Bridgeport,

number of dog3, which succeeded in killing
during a day's sport, OGO rats and 31 bushels
of mice.
CC7"TIie inaugnral ceremonies connected
with inducting Gov. Polk, of Missouri, into

LLiO it goes. A lew wye its ago a poor

groceries to keep his family from starvation,
forged an order and was sentenced to six years
in the penitentiary. More recently, Hunting
ton, for forging to the amount of millions, has
been sentenced for less' than five years.
Thy Xew York Mirror says it is estima
ted that William B. Astor has nuv a regular
income of $0,000 a day, or about 1,100,UI0 a

is not. To keep away the gout he feeds him

"TuEErttssfcx of Slavery the Pclict of
Tin tjoiTii." In an article with this headin
the liichmond Er.quirer, of the 7th iust., after
drawing a parIel between t'nu sources of pros
perity of the North and South, and coming to
to the sapient conclusion that the prosperity
and power of the former rest upon an unsta
ble b asis, that of "mechanical arts" and "com
mercial enterprise,"' and that of the South up
on a more secure one, she being "cinphatical
Jy. if not exclusively, an agricultural country,''
uses the following language :
"The only danger which the South Ins rea-
san to apprehend, Ut that in consequence of
an accidental combination of circumstances, it
may lo.se its equality of political power in the
Confederacy, be reduced to a soi t of depe:x
ence upon tho North, and, by an iniquitous
policy of legislation, be ill-spoiled of its advan
tages and restricted in its development. It is
then, of the last consequence to tho wi-lf ire
of tho South, that it maintain its equality ol
power in the Union, so as to protect its rights,
and prevent any unjust discrimination against
its interests in the action of the Federal Gov
ernment. Eut tiiis 'csnlt can be accomplished
in only one wny ; and that is by iunitling on the
I'gilitnatc expansion of the intti'u.'ions of ihe
Son!h. . . The timid fool may whisper that
the expansion of our institutions is an imprac
ticable achievement ; but nothing is impossi
ble with the people of tho South. If the
North resists, upon what stronger ground could
wo stand than upon this issue of tho exten
sion or restriction of slavery 1 If the strug
gle is to come, let it ccmc now, while yet we
have the spirit and the power to defend our
rights. If we aro to fight, let us fight for a
principle which is essential to our equality in
the Union, or our independence out of the
Union. Henceforth let the free expansion or
its institutions be the ultimatum of the
South."
The Enquirer is a prominent Democratic pa
per, and is regarded as the month-piece of its
party at tho South. It may therefore be re
garded as expressing the general scntimeut of
its section. -
Great Enino-. A bridge is now being built
across the Upper Mississippi, at St. Paul, Min

seventy feet above high water mark, no as to
enable boats to pass under without difficulty.
The greatest span will le two hundred and
twenty feet, sufficiently widj to allow the lar

with Ihe abutments. The nbole cost of the
