Bauman, Leaded Flour, flour."
To LrMEERMEN. We direct attention to tlie
advertisement of C. A. ScbafTner, of Mariet
ta, In to-ddy's Journal. Tho object of Mr. S.
is to take charge of the timber of such a3 have
not disposed of it before the season is drawing
-. to a close and who are desirous of returning
home. Mr. S. has been many years in the
timber-inspection and lumber business, and
doubtless understands it well. Read his d
Tertiseraenf. 'General Jail Delivery. On the night of
the 27th ult., all the prisoners, three in num
ber, confined in our county jiil, left without
asking leave of absence from the Sheriir.
They furced an iron bar oir the petition, with
which, after heating it, they burned the lock
loose from the door. Our j til is a model con
cern. Whenever a scoundrel, who may be for
tunatt enough to get into it, desires to leave,
be requires nothing more than a small piece
of iron, or a chair-leg, and without any par
ticular "fuss" he opens the doors and takes
bis departure.
Grocsd-IIooDat. Monday last,tho 2d inst.,
was the famous "ground-hog day." It is con
tended by the knowing ones in this peculiar
'science, that if the sun shines so that his hog
ship can see his shadow, when he comes forth
from his burrow, he gets scared at it, scampers
back into his hole, and remains there for six
weeks, daring which time he causes us t be
visited by '-hard wenther,-"' probably as a pun
ishment for the fright which we permitted the
run to give l.im. Well the sun did shine
beautifully on Monday, and if any of the
ground-hog tribe were out on that day, tliey
could not fail to see their shadow. Yesterday,
however, ''Old Sol" was again shining bright
ly, and wo trust that he v. ill c" nlinue to do so,
and pay no attention to the.se tyrannical un
derground" porkers, who presum-3 to restrict
bis free action and to regulate the weather for
us poor tncriuis here below.
Tyrone 5c Clearfied Railroad. We men
' tioned last week that the Directors were about
making a change by which the short curve at
lit. Pleasant point "would be avoided. We
learned, a few evenings since, from Mr. 3Ioiit
gomery, the chief engineer of the road, that
""the directors had made an agreement with the
contractors to that effect, at an additional cost,
as before stated, of $1-5,000. This fixes the
entire cost of the gr.iding from Tyrone to
Philipshurg at $10-5,000. The work is being
pushed vigorously, the enterprising contract
ors having now r.ot less than 230 hands active
ly engaged at di Cerent poiuts along the line,
and an additional force was to have been put yes-
terdiiy on the work of filling up required by the
change mentioned. The financial sttairs of
the company aro, we believe, in a wholesome
-condition. The subscriptions of stock amount
to SICO.OCt), and arrangements are being made
to meet demands as they accrue. The live
liest hopes are entertained of having that por
tion of the road which is tinder contract, com
pleted during th'j present year.
Go33irs. V'h:it a queer institution ono of
your ton-gos:,ips is! Tin-re is iio under
fctarding the strange Liped so easy, so disin
terested, jj friendly. We can't conceive how
the world could do without gossips. Without
them, a town would be no town at all it would
bo lacking in one of the prominent elements
of human character. The employment of this
class of Ai.'iioo-vi.iti.i!."!, we have an idea. nn:-t
be highly delectable, or they would not en
gage in it voluntarily. Aid, v.e presume also,
that some benefits flow from a judicious indul
gence in their enticing pastime. For instance,
an exercise of locomotive powers is required
in running fVom house to house, in order to
give everybody the news that old Sharp had
been ogling at Miss Millio and no one, we are
certain, will pretend lo assert that exercise is
not healthy. It also gives an o; pprtunity of
"Crpaiiding some of the Mental faculties it
brings into activity Causality, Eventuality,
Size, Form, Individuality, Ideality, and the
rest of the manufacturing bumps. And, then,
they arc so attentive in minding the business
of others. Affairs matrimonial receive spe
cial attention they assort, arrange, adjust,
fix up, and pair oil to their own entire satis
faction "Young America," without troubling
the youngsters at all not even so much as to
consult them. They likewiso take care that
nothing demoralising passes by Htnrebuked.
-Therefore, should Mrs. Furl-clow call ;it young
Yardstick's store more than once a week, sig
nificant winks and nods pass between the gos
sip family, and fears are expressed that, if the
aforesaid lady, peradventure, should prove to
18 a second Mrs. Potipiiar, innocent Yardstick
tnight, perhaps, fail to possess the forbearance
of a Joseph. Ey such a practice, they keep
down scandal, encourage virtue, and by giv
ing timely notice to the lady's husband, pre
vent any unpleasant feelings arising between
them. But want of space preclude ns from
detailing the many commendable traits of this
worthy class. Wo entertain a high respect
for this peculiarly well meaning portion of the
human herd," and we hope we trust wo
pray, that no one may prove so ungrateful as
to intimate, In the remotest way, that they are
efficious meddlers, well calculated to stir up
heart-burnings, envy, jealousy and etriAi a
mong their neighbors !

rrrC!earfield Dank.- On tho 20th January,
Mr. Souther, of the State Senate, read in place
a bill to incorporate the Clearfield Bank.
ITP'Mrs. McClieste-, wife of E. McCliester
of Indiana county, Pa., committed suicide on
the 0th ult., by cutting her throat with a razor.
She was partially insane.
UPWc heard a young lady remark on Mon
day morning that the "threemonieter" was
down to "squeeze-oh !" We suspect she had
hept late hours the night before with her beau.
EyMr. Slough, a member of the Ohio Le
gislature, from Hamilton county, was expelled
from the House, on the 20th January, by a
vote of 70 to 3-3, for striking Mr. Caldwell, of
Ashtabula, tor words spoken in debate.
ETho St. Paul (Minn.) Times states that
"fire-wood is selling in that city, for $9 per
cord." With fuel at such a price, and the in
tense cold of the long winter in that region,
Minnesota does not present much inducement
to immigration there.
fX7"Doubted by the ladies the report that
it was so cold ono day last week as to break
oiT a marriago engagement, by the freezing up
of the young- gentleman's passion. The gen
eral c fleet of cold nights is to bring tho mar
riage fever to a crisis.
rXTThe Locofoco organ of Schuylkill coun
ty says the newspapers that are lashing Messrs.
Lebo and Wagonseller for voting for Cameron,
might just as well mind their own business, as
a majority of tho democracy there would any
day prefer Cameron to Forney as U.S.Senatur.
C7lligh Living. Tho Davenport (Iowa)
Gazette says that butter, at that place, is sel
ling at SO cents per pound ; eggs, Co cents per
dozen ; chickens 23 cents each ; turkeys, 7-3
cts. to $1.2-5 ; potatoes, $1 per bushel ; coal,
1( to 18 cents per bushel ; wood, $'3 to $5 per
cord.
CC7"'Gin a treat' lion. Simon Cameron,
on last Wednesday evening, to a largo number
of his friends. The newspaper reporters, who
are 'thick as hops' about Ilarrisbtirg, couldn't
come in,' and are 'down in tho mouth' about
it; but whenever Simon says 'wig-wag,' they
will all come rijjht.
C7With tho exception of a few miles in
Virginia there is now a connected line of rail
road all tho way from Bangor on tho Penob
scot, to Montgomery, on the Alabama; ere
long the chain will be extende-I to New Or
leans, thence to be carried westward until it
reaches the Pacific.
rr7"Centre County. On tho loth Jan., the
house of Geo. W. Shaffer, of Bonner tp., was
entirely consumed by fire. On tile ISth, the
house of Mr. McGlaiighlin. of Bald Eagle Val
ley, and a short time previous the house ol
Robt. Campbell, Esq., in Half Moon township,
were also destroyed by fire.
K7Lake Erie is now ono vast field of ico,
so far as the eyo can reach, from shore to
shore. So siys the Cleveland llcraLl. Along
the shore the ice is fine, smooth and solid,
and covered at all hours with troops of skaters;
while further away it is covered with a snowy
crust, upon which the skaters never venture.
CP"The law relative to depreciating Span
ish quarters, levies and fips, has not yet pas
sed Congress, but in the meantime speculators
in the cities are already at work scaring peo
ple into parting with them at 20, 10 and 5
cents. Our advice is, unless much defaced,
to keep them, or part with them only for what
they are really worth.
C7Missionaries in the Pacific. There are
now on the islands of the Pacific ocean, in
connection with the London Church Wesleyan
and American Missionary Societies, 119 mis
sionaries, 4-5,920 communicants, 2S9,900 pro
fessed Protestants, and 51,708 pupils. The
largest single Protestant church in the world
is on one of these islands. Christian missions
have bad their greateat triumphs among the
heathen of this ocean world.
C7"Isaac S. Shurlock, charged with the
murder of Philip S. Clawgcs, was acquitted at
Philadelphia, on Saturday last a-wei k. There
was no question about the murder. Tho act
was done deliberately and with premeditation.
It will be recollected that Clawges had seduc
ed the wife of Shurlock, who was his clerk.
Upon his wife informing him of the outrage
committed upon her, Shurlock armed himself
with a revolver, stationed himself in the 6treet,
and when Clawges caiae up to him, discharg
ed three shots into his victim, and then gave
himself into itz tsnds of tbe authorities.
