THE JOUKNAI,
CLEARFIELD, PA., JANUARY 23, 1857.
. '
Thr Baptist Church of Clearfield will hold
their next "commnnion" on the first Sabbath
in February, in the Lutheran meeting-house.
Tho meetings will commence on Thursday
evening preceding the first Sabbath.
Thi'ete9 Abott. On the night of the 20th
inst., some rogua 6tole tho meat of two hogs
from John Blair, Esq., of Boggs township, du
ring the absence of himself and wile.
House Bcrxed. On Wednesday last, we
learn, the liouso of Roswell Luther, Esq., of
Brady township, with all its contents, was de
stroyed by fire. Mr. L. had been in this place
on that day, and on his return home lound his
house burned down. -Wo did not hear how the
.fire originated.
Scddkn Change. Monday morning last was
the coldest we had this winter the thermom
eter indicating 21 to 20 degrees below zero.
During the day it moderated, and in the eve
ning it commenced raining, which continued
during the night and next dav. The snow
incited away considerably yesterday.
Examixatiox. The semi-annual examina
tion of the 'pupils of Clearfield Institute will
be held during Wednesday and Thursday of
next week, in their respective school-rooms
Patrons, trustees, and all interested in the
cause of Education, are respectfully invited
by the Principal to attend.
T. & C. Railroad. In the latter part of the
past week, the officers of the Tyrone & Clear
field Railroad passed along a part of the line,
aud, wo have been informed, concluded to
have a change made at the short curve at Mt.
Pleasant point. By making an embankment,
at an increased cost of $1-3,000, which, we be
liev, the contractors arc willing to take and
the company to pay, tho danger of a curve of
ronie tweuty-odd degrees can be avoided, be
sides shortening the distance some. For the
sake of having a safe road, a few thousand dol
lars should not be withheld.
A Word of Advice. We take it upon our
selves to advise such persons as have let t
Clearfield on account of the supposed severity
of our winters, to repent of their precipitate
flight, and return 'iuiniebmtlv.' Whilst from
almost all sections cast, west and south, we re
ceire accounts of deep snows and of the mer
cury being during the entire day below zero,
we can congratulate ourselves upon having a
very moderate quantity of congealed vapor,
and th-'.t the weather clerk was so compassion
ate as to order the quicksilver to ascend above
that famous point before mid-day. It is true,
we had a lew very cold mornings, by way of
variety; but as a whole we had a. moderate
and endurable winter. We begin to think
that there is more than mere speculation in
the doctrine of a milder climate nearer the
poles. This winter's experience would seem
to establish it conclusively ; though the fact
that no perceptible diminution of cold can be
felt at a less distance than twenty-three hun
drcd miles north of this place, might create a
doubt in the minds of the incredulous as to
the conclusiveness of the testimony. But any
rational individual, when he reads the accounts
of railroads being obstructed and streets shut
up with snow iu Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, all lying south of us, and then
views the few inches of snow which surround
Iiim here, he must involuntarily conclude that
his close proximity to te north pole, it there
is anything in the theory already mentioned.,
must have something to do with it, and lie
should thank his stars for placing him in such
a delightful and desiraLle latitude.

Morals of the Court of Spain. Tho Lon
don Timet in a late article upon Spain, says :
'Furthermore, the scandals of the palace are
eaid to be graver than at any former period.
The Queen, it is reported, has thrown aside
the Jast remnant of decency, and relapsed, af
ter a short period of restraint, into excesses of
which even a southern capital is ashamed.
The King, on the other hand, is divided from
Lis wife by an intense mutual dislike, and is
reported to be actually plotting against her
throne. His narrow intellect is entirely ruled
by the prices, who surrounded him, and these
risen are all on the aide of Montemohn and le
gitimacy. His present scheme seems to be to
force the Queen to resign, to place Count
Montcmolin in her room, and to marry the in
fant Princess to Monteniolin'a nephew. Such
is tho royal couple to which the destinies of

"Arrested for stealing lumber the speak
er who "took the floor." lie and the lady

d7"The latest way to pop the question is to
ask the fair lady "if you shall have the plea
sure of seeing her at the minister's."
CF"A Fact. A fool in high' station is like
a man on the top of a mountain ; everybody
appears small to him, and he appears small to
everybody.
K7A good Idea. It is said that a certain
town in New England, iu order to get rid of
supporting a pauper, elected him to a seat in
the Legislature.
K7"Decidedly cold last Monday morning.
The thermometers indicated 24 degs. below-
zero. Jack Frost, we suppose, is, like calico,
trying to "spread" himself.
E"A Louisiana correspondence of the Jour
nil of Commerce says the sugar crop of that
State will fall short 100,000 hhds. the present
year. In 1853 the yield was 405,000 hhds.
C7A disputed point whether the recent
storms east and south were caused by the" defeat
of the Democracy in this State for U. S. Sen
ator, or on account of Dr. Kane's trip to 11a-

Gallon. Gabriel Cannon has been chosen

Cyin mourning the last Bellefonte Watch
man, at the defeat of John W. Forney for LT
S. Senator. A copious lachrymal demonstra
tiou will undoubtedly relieve the poor fellow's
lacerated "pheclinks."
CC7IIeavy Loss. Senator Bell's losses by
the "inaurrection" panic were greater than
has been reported. Xo less than sixteen of
liis slaves were killed by the excited populace
some with, and some without the forms ef
law ?
K7"PIcnty mad dogs in Illinois. At Jo-
liet, last week three children and a number of
cattle were bitten; and at Augusta a single
dog bit upwards of twenty cattle, hogs and
sheep, most of which have since gone mad.
The stock bitten was estimated to be worth
$3,000. '
K7IIunt, in his reminiscences, ralates that
Coleridge, upon the death of a master of a
school he' bad attended when a boy, remarked
"It was lucky that the cherubims who took
him to heaven were nothing but faces and
wings, or he would have infallibly flogged
them on the wa"."
HPTruc An exchange says: "When a man
gets mad and stops bis paper, ho always bor
rows the next number of his neighbor to see
if the withdrawal of his paper hasn't killed
the editor, and dressed the columns of his pa
per in mourning. Such men are apt to ima
gine that the world rests on their shoulders.'
C7Queer freak. One of the female luna
tics in the New York Asylum, the Sj'racusc
Courier savs, has the delusion that she has
been the wife of each successive President.
She is now Mrs. Pierce, and her nuptials with
Mr. Buchanan arc anticipated by her about the
time of his inauguration.
C7"Large Award. The United StatesCourt
of Claims at Washington has decided a claim
to the amount of 180,000, against the United
States, in favor of the widow of Reeside, for
many years a great mail contractor. The
Court reported a bill to Congress granting her
the amount, which was immediately passed u
nanimously by the House.
C3"Xew Kink Forty-two scoundrels, cm-
bracing some of every grade in the fraternity,
such as burglars, highwaymen, sneak thieves,
bullies and pimps, were arrested Friday night
a week, in New York, and placed on exhibi
tion, free gratis, that persons who had lost
property might see, and it possible, identify
them. We think the plan of literally caging
andjexhibiting scoundrels, would soon produce
good results.
rX7Zachariah Chandler, who has been cho
sen by the Republicans ol Michigan to replace
Gen. Cass in the Senate, for six years from the
4th of March next, is a leading and popular
merchant of Detroit, and at the same time a
zealous and energetic politician. He was tho
Whig candidate for Governor in 1S52, and
shared the fortunes of General Scott, having
been beaten by Robert McClelland, the present
Secretary of the Interior.
C7-The Harrisburg Herald speaks of a new
counterfeit $10 note on the Ilarrisburgh Bank
which it says is very different from the coun
terfeit on the Bank of Montgomery County
tens. It has portraits of Washington and Kit
teuhouse in the centre canal boat on one end
and male and female on the other with train
of cars at the bottom of the note. The genu
ino ten has the State Capitol in the centre,with
the Goddess ot Liberty in the foreground,
seated. The vignettes on the ends are both a
like two females.
CTart. Six "democratic" members who
boarded at Wilt's Pennsylvania Hotel addres
sed a note to Samuel Menear, one of tho mem
bers who voted for Simon Cameron, request
ing him to leave the house, on which Mr. Me
near replied that as lie is not williug longer to
associate with persons who have "so little
knowledge of what is becoming in members of
a high and honorable body" he intended to
leave it. The six "gentlemen" who made this
insulting request were C. M. Leisenring, J. C.
Evans, B. Nunnctnacber, J. Pearson, M. IlofJ
raan and Franklin M'Uvain, and d?8crve to

thing iu his power, by persecution and other
wise, to drive ont of the Territory those who
do not sympathise with the peculiar institu
tion under which he has acquired an absolute
sway. The Mormon emigrants, on their way
in the hand-cart train to the Salt Lake, are rep
resented ns suffering greatly. The train con
