CLEARFIELD COUNTY
All persons in Clearfield county favorable to
the above call, and who are sincerely opposed
to Locofocoism, are requested to meet in
County Convention in the Borough of Clear
field, on Saturday the 21st day of March, at 2
o'clock, p. m. to select one Senatorial and one
Representative Delegate to the above Conven
tion, and to transact some other business of
iinjortance- Each Borough and Township are
requested to send three or more delegates.
March 11. MANY.
To Carpesteks. We invite the special at
tention of carpenters to the advertisement of
Wm. Irvin, Esq., of Curwensville, who will re
ceive proposals for the building of a dwelling
bouse, until the first of April next.
We direct attention to the card of Weaver,
Fitler & Co., of Philadelphia, dealers in Ma
nilla and Hemp Ropes, Carpet Chain, Yarn,
Bed-cords, &c, which will be found in the ad
vertising columns of the Journal.
. f New Advertisements. L. R. Carter offers
a house and lot near Clearfield for sale ;
Hugh M. Riddle a house and lot in New Wash
ington ; J. II. Hommer has grain and mer
chandise to exchange for boards and shingles ;
several other notices also appear, to all which
attention is directed.
O-set. On Saturday evening, as James
B. Graham, Esq., was coming down the hill at
the east end of town, in a buggy, the breech
band of the harness broke and caused the bug
gy to run on the horse, who took to his heels,
and in attempting to run past a sleigh upset
the buggy. Mr. G., and one of his sons, who
was with him, fortunately escaped without in
jury, and but little damage was done, we be
lieve, to the vehicle.
Susquehanna Lcubeh Tiiade. The Star,
printed at Wrightsville, Pa., in a recent num
ber, states that the price of lumber at that
place has varied but little for several months.
There is a full supply of culliugs there. The
Star then goes on to say :
"Several timber rafts have arrived at our
wharves from Northumberland, and we under
stand there are at Lock Haven some 500 rafts
of sawed lumber and timber, a goodly portion
of which may be expected to reach this point
by Saturday next. It is said the supply of
lumber to descend the Susquehanna this sea
son is large, and it might be supposed that pri
ces would abate some, but tins, we think, will
hardly be the case, as the supply is not ade
quate to the demand."
The statement that there are 500 rafts at
Lock Haven is so egregious! incorrect that it
will provoke a smile on the countenance of any
individual at any point from Lock Haven to
the head of the river ; but as it is well calcula
ted to mislead persons at a distance, (the par
agraph having beer, copied into Bickncll's Re
porter,) we deem it but right, as a matter of
candor, to say that not over fifty rafts, if that
"number, all told, had reached Lock Haven this
season. As to the quantity of timber and lum
ber that is at this time ready to be sent to
market from the West Branch, we are satisfied,
from the boat information we can obtain, that
it is considerably short of last year's product.
The uncertain duration of the recent snow de
terred some, who had timber a considerable
distance from the river, from hauling it ; such,
however, as had it convenient to the riv
er, which would enable them to get in enough
to construct a raft, have been busy hauling.
At this time, we think the entire quantity of
lumber at and in the streams will not more
than supply the demand, if it will do that.
Hollowat's Pills, a most famous Remedy
Jor the Cure of Nervousness and General De
bility Jasper M'Cann, of Bridge Street,
Brooklyn, Long Island, New York, was with
out doubt a severe sufferer from nervous and
general debility, the least thing provoked his
irritability, pnt him in a passion, and laid him
np ; this was caused by the bad state of the
fluids, and though he tried many remedies for
his complaint, he was not benefited. At length
he had recourse to Holloway's Pills, which
quickly performed their part, by removing the
injurious fluids from the system cleared his
head, restored tone and vigour to the stomach,
and after five weeks perseverance, restored
K"n to the blessings of health.

done to this structure.
SPOur readers will recollect that shortly
before the inauguration, Mr. Buchanan had
returned home from Washington sick. He
had stopped at the National Hotel, which was
terribly infested with rats, which a boarder at
tempted to exterminate by giving them arsen

water, and got into a large tank from which
the house is supplied with drinking and cook
ing water. Twenty or thirty of the guests,
among them Mr. Buchanan, J. Glancy Jones
and John L. Dawson, were suddenly and some
severely affected from the use of the water
thus impregnated. Efforts wero made to keep
the matter quiet, but it finally leaked out.

THE AMERICAN COUNCIL.
At a meeting of the American State Council
of Pennsylvania, held at Altoona, on the 4th of
March the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted, viz :
Whereas, It is manifest that the different
wings of the opposition party in this State are
unable to overcome their common adversary
except by means of a union and concentration
of force ; Axd wheras, It is proper and pru
dent that there should be such a union of these
elements ; therefore,
Resolved, That the American party is in fa
vor of and heartily desires a union with the
other wings of the Opposition paity in the for
mation of a State ticket upon any basis which
recognizes the great cardinal features of Amer
icanism. Resolved, That when this Council adjourns,
it adjourns to meet in Altoona, on Wednes
day, April loth, 1857.

Poor little Martha is gone. No more will

sisters and schoolmates. She has gone to dwell
in the arms of Him who has 83id, "Suffer lit
tle children to come unto mo and forbid them

During her brief illness her sufferings were
ntonse : but she is now free from suffering and
pain, and dwells where pain and sorrow never
more can reach her. It was hard to part with
her yes, it was hard to part with poor little
Martha but it was the will of the Lord, and

No more its tones shall join to swell

That welcome face, that sparkling eye,
And sprightly form, must buried lie
- Deep in the eold and silent gloom,
The rajlcss night that fills the tomb.
