THE JOUKML.
. CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 4, 1857.
- Moke TTwtek. Laat Friday night several
inches of snow fell in this region. On Satur
day it melted some; Sunday, however, was
cold and blastery, and the weather has contin
ued winterlike up to this time.
c Look Oct f Some thieving rognes have
recently been leaving their inark' about our
town on several occasions. Oa last Saturday
night the establishment of Thos. Robins was
entered at one of the back windows.Lut wheth
ert was dona with a felonious intent, or mere
ly to sample Tommy's ale, is not certainly
known. On the me night, several pieces of
beef were stolen from the landlord of the Man
sion IIouso.
Firs is CcnwE.9viLLE. On last Thursday
night, about 11 o'clock, a house belonging to
Wax. Irvin,Esq., occupied by Rev. L. L. Still,
was destroyed by fire. It seems that the fire
originated in a cabinet shop, occupied by Mr.
Joshua Baker, and then communicated itself
to the house. Mr. Still's books, the clothes of
Lis family, nnd a quantity of meat, were burn
ed with the bouse, and Mr. Baker lost his
tools, some 500 feet of boards, &c. Mr. Ir
vin's loss must be about $1200, partly covered
by insurance. We do not know what the loss
tf the others will amount to.
. Tna Timber. Bcsixess. It is almost impos
sible for any one to form a correct estimate of
what the timber business in any season will a
raount to, as it is dependent upon so many con
tingencies. A large quantity of timber may
be 'made,' th:t is, the trees felled and squared
up, as was the case this winter ; but it may not
reach market. Much of the 'made' timber
lies several miles from the river, and cannot
easily be hauled to the stream without snow.
The sudden breaking up of the present winter
prevented the hauling of a very considerable
quantity of timber and to convey it on wheels
is to a great extent impracticable, at least un
profitable. The fall ol snow last Friday night,
though too slight to render hauling easy, and
the freezing of the ground, has started anew
this'part of the business,but without more snow
it will have to be suspended again. Prices
have been good, and may continue so, if the
quantity of limber already hauled is not too
largely increased and the market overstocked.
" Resolved, That experience has demonstra-
" ted that square timber rafting is a losing bu-
" siness, and a clear waste of the productions
" of the country. Besides the great loss of
" the best part ot the log in jugglus and chips,
experience proves that it involves the loss
" alto of the timber actually got to market,
' for in no period of five consecutive years,
have the manufacturers of. square timber
" received more for their products than they
it . .i i . . t i i , . . i.
cAjieuueu 111 wurs ami iauor, ana in tuning
" them to market:"
The above is one of the resolutions passed
, . , . 1 i T T r . , . ..
.-j- me jug men it i l.ock iiaven on tne lst ult.
. -m . . ... .
Jiere. is an acknowledgment in effect that the
Egging and square timber business come in
tantact with each other just what has always
Lm contended by those opposed to log float
iff. If they conflict, one or the other must
tstiTer by an unrestricted continuance of both,
ant no one will be at a loss to determine which
U vll! be. By tho Coating ot loose logs, the
saf-y of every raft that descends the river is
mot or less endangered. The only conclu
sioijjwe can arrive at then, is, that our Lock
Iivn neighbors wish to "crush out"' the raft
ingiusfness fo destroy the lumber and square
tiuitr business. They say "the old system of
lumiyr is foo expensive, too hazardous, and
too iriccrtain to warrant remuneration, or jus
tify ie risk incurred," and are in a sorrowful
atatif mind about the "great loss of the best
partjf the log in juggles and chips." Well,
onr jeople aie willing to si:stain the "great
loss 4 the jnggles and chips," and to run the
risk if making the business "remunerative,"
if tfcrf were protected from the obstacles that
are th4wn in their way by the log men. All
they ak all they desire is to have an open
way iot to have the river filled, during fresh
ets, w iti loose logs to such an extent as to
prevent he running of rafts with any degree
of safeiA But, more than this stop the
square tiller business, and you interfere with
ship, brie, and other building requiring
large timb. And in doing this, you impede
commercialipcrations, clog the rapid progress
cf internal itorovements, and do a wrong to
the commun at large and to individuals.

Black Snilp among the Saints. Brig
bam Young, II gh Priest and first President of
the Mormon Cc&cil of Latter Day Saints, at
CJrcat Salt LakeQity, and hold-over Governor
of Utah Tcrritorthns endbrses the bad char
acter of -some of U followers :
"Wc can pick ol elders in Israel right here,
who can beat the 4rld at gambling, who can
handle the cards, c and shuffle them, with
the smartest rogue e God's footstool. I can
produce elders here ko can shave their smar
test shavers, and takotheir money from them.
We can beat the worhat any game."
This is an honest c&fession at least, but
there are "elders in Iel" the world over
who are almost if not qie as bad as Brother
Brigham Young's follow.

C7""The Ohio Farmer estimates the profit on

C7Xicaragua. The New York Conrierand
Enquirer publishes a letter dated San Juan,
Feb. 12, which it declares to be from a reliable
source, to the effect that the troops of Lock
ridge and the woman-liuntcr,-Titus, have been
defeated at Serapiqui, and that the end of
Walker's career is at hand.
CP"The Rural New Yorker reminds farmers
that the wheat fields will need their closest
scrutiny during portions of both February and
March. When the weather is mild and thaw
ing, sae that the surface water is provided with
the means af escaping. Proper attention to
this now will bo bushels in the granary after
harvest.
ClChild stealing, the New York papers say,
is practised to a great extent in that city. Pro
bably, on an average, two children in a week
are abducted from their homes while playing
on the sidewalk, and are detained until the af
flicted parents offer a reward for them, when
the kidnappers bring their little victims to
light and receive the money. They ought to
receive a place in the State Prison.
A Warning: to Calituimpians. A num
ber of young men who had annoyed a wedding
party, in Chester county, with the outlandish
noise of a calithumpian band, consisting of
"horse-fiddle," cc., were tried in the Chester
county court, week before last, ior riot were
convicted and fined each $23 and costs, and
received a very wholesome lecture fromjJudge
Haines. Wc arc rather inclined to say, it ser
ved them right.
C7"Talton B. Butler, a timber cutter of Seri-
ven county, Ga., went to Savannah, to sell
timber, and was taken sick, and it was thought
died. There being a boat about to leave, his
remains were deposited in a coffin and sent
home. On opening the cofliu after its arrival,
he was discovered to smile. Medical assist
ance was immediately called, and it is said
that ho is fast recovering. He was in the cof
fin nearly two days and nights.
C"The New York American State Council
finished a session on last Wednesday at Troy.
The Binghampton Platform was reaffirmed,
with additional resolutions, declaring that un
der every political complication the question
of Americanism shall take precedence, and
that the American Party is unalterably opposed
to the extension of Slavery into territory from
which ie-hasbeon excluded by the Missouri
Compromise, and opposing the use of the
power of the General Government to extend
the institution of Slavery. All the secret ma
chinery of the order was abolished.
KFThe execution of Simon Green for tho
murder of Michael Kclley, which was to have
taken place at Harrisburg on last Friday, was
deferred by a lespite from Gov. Pollock until
Friday the 27th of March. The respite was
granted in consequence of representations hav
ing been made to the Governor that important
testimony had suddenly been discovcred,whIch
would give an entirely different aspect to the
afiray which resulted in the death of Kelley.
Green is an Irishman, was working on the Le
banan Valley Railroad, near Harrisburg.where
Kelley was also working, and without any
known provocation, alter having passed Kel
ley, who was making peace between two fellow
laborers, returned and stabbed bis victim twice
with a small tnife, which caused his death in
a few days after. These facts wero elicited
on the trial. . .
A New Test. The Democracy of Ohio have
adopTed a new test of party orthodoxy in that
State. Any man who voted for or defends tho
expulsion of Slough from the House for strik
ing Caldwell in the face on the floor and while
that body was in session, is unfit for fellowship
among the Shillalihs. The Cleveland Plain
dealer boasts that "not a democrat voted for
the expulsion of Slough, no not one. A crary
man by the name of Corry so voted out of
pure cussedness,' but he was no democrat.
He is a sore head, and sorry specimen at that."
i . ... .
Slough, the locofoco member of the Ohio
Legislature, who was expelled from that body
a short tima since, has just been re-elected by
three of a majority. . He hails from Cincinnati.
