CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
All persons in Clearfield connty favorable to
the above call, and who are sincerely opposed
to Locofocoisra, are requested to meet in
County Convention in the Borongh 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
importance. Each Borough and Township are
requested to send three or more delegates.
March 11. MANY.
According to a report made to the Board of
Revenue Commissioners at Ilarrisburg, Clear
field county is the fourth in the State in re
spect to the number of acres within her boun
daries, having 750,000. Those having a larger
number of acres ares Luzerne 890,000, Mc
Keaa 805,000 and Bradford 751,000. The val
uation agreed upon by th Board, fixes the
amount of property in this county subject to
taxation at $1,432,615.
Thc Weather, during the last few days, has
moderated considerably, and the snow, under
the warm rays of the mid-day sun, has to a great
extent disappeared. The dams in the river
were still covered with ice on yesterday, but
the action of the water was wearing it away
rapidly. With the present stage of water, it
will doubtless require some rain to make a
good rafting flood.
We understand that the Presbyterians of
Clearfield and Curwcnsrille have finally deter
mined up on giving Rev. James H. Baird, for
merly of Toledo, Ohio, but more recently of
Philadelphia, a call as pastor for the congre
gations at the places named.
Gone to Iowa. Hon. Alex. Irvin, J. B.
McEnally, Esq., and Mr. David B. Rodkey, of
this place, started this morning for Iowa.
They contemplate purchasing lands and loca
ting warrants. We wish them good luck.
Caged. A man named Dunham was lodged
in the jail in this place, on last Thursday eve
cine;, charged With improper intimacy with the
"better hair' of another man, who lives out in
Sinnaraahoning.
CDuring rafting, it i likely that we will
miss issuing thc Jovrnal one week.
G7""Congrcss, on adjourning, appropriated
520,000 to renew the furniture In the Execu
tive mansion ; also $11,000 for the repair of
the public grounds in Washington.
C7""An idea of the amount of letter writing
In the Uuited States may be inferred by the
number of postage stamps sold, which, during
the last year was one hundred and fifty mil
lions. CyTfce Northern Independent, a progressive
Methodist paper, started to represent the
more decided anti-slavery sentiment of that
body, has in six months attained a circulation
of 10,000. The principal editor is the Rev.
"William llosmer.
K7"Holders of Lancaster Bank notes, says
the Lancaster Examiner, should understand
that if they demand payment at the bank, and
have an endorsement to that .cfleet made by
the cashier, the notes 60 presented will bear
ix pfcr cent interest until paid or until a final
dividend is made of the assets. The notes, it
will be understood, will bear interest only from
the time payment is demanded : and those on
which no demand is made, will of course not
bear interest.
. E7"The New York Tribune says, thai the
Pope has made to us another consignment of
a portion of his refractory subjects. Fifteen
men, released from prison and sent to this
country at the expense of the Tapal treasury,
have just arrived. These exiles will forthwith
be forwarded to Scranton, Pa., to join their
compatriots, where employment will be given
them the expense of their transit being de
frayed by the American Industrial Asso
ciation. ET"The question of pay and allowances to
Lieut. Gen. Scott was fortunately settled dur
ing the closing hours of the late session of
Congress. The anearages due the veteran, it
is understood, will amount to about thirty-two
thousand four hundred dollars, and his annual
pay and emoluments will hereafter be fifteen
thousand dollars. A gratef ul nation, wo are
urc, aays the National Intelligencer, will cor
dially approve this proceed ing.and deem it far
IvM measure of liberality than of Justice. .
CLIPPINGS AND SCRIDBLINGS.
lijNot as pleasant as it might be to edit a
paper and work all day at 'case,' having at the
same time a cold that makes ones head feel as
big as a lager-beer barrel.
C7"The Secretary of the Navy has ordered
thc steam frigates Niagara and Mississippi to
be equipped with dispatch, to assist in laying
tho Atlantic telegraph dffble.
CyHenry S. Magraw was re-elected State
Treasurer on last Wednesday, by a vote of 68
to 67 cast for Jacob Dock, a member of the
House from Philadelphia.
E70n the 8th ultimo, Sirs. Mary Taylor, of
Hampshire county, Va., seeing an eagle mak
ing havo; among a flock of geese, seized a
club and striking the national bird, killed it
on the spot.
JXT" W. A. Williams, Esq., of McKean coun
ty, has bjen appointed Representative Dele
gate to the Union State Convention, on the
part of McKean and Elk counties, and John
F. Donaldson, of Tioga, as Senatorial Dele
gate, by Tioga, Potter, McKean and Elk.
C7Long John Wentworth, as he is familiar
ly called, who was formerly a locofoco mem
ber of Congress, and a leading politician of
that party in Illinois, but now a Republican,
was elected Mayor of Chicago on the 3d inst.,
by a majority of 1,100 ; the balance of the Re
publican ticket has still a larger majority.
KyThe Legislature of South Carolina has
amended thc Constitution so as to require a
previous United States citizenship of ten years,
as well as a previous residence in that State of
two years, as a qualification for voting. The
bill was passed by a large majority. Well done
for the locofoco State of South Carolina.
KT"We find that seme persons have fallen
into error relative to the extra session of the
U. S. Senate, supposing it to bo an extra ses
sion of Congress. The 34th Congress expired
on the 3d of March by Constitutional limita
tion, and the extra session of the Senate was
necessary to confirm the Cabinet nomina
tions, &c.
C7A great bargain. The ship Adriatic, of
New York, of 2,C00 tons and only five months
old, which was lately stranded near Dungar
von, Irish Channel, was sold, hull and cargo,
for '1510 and has since been got off and taken
into Queenstown. When repaired and tigged
afresh, it is thought she will be worth fully
$50,000.
C7"John C. Patterson, an eminent lawyer
of Wilmington, Del., assisted by his friends
gave a French gentleman from New Orleans
an awful beating one evening last week, because
he had been in the habit of walking out with
his, the lawyers wife, late at night. Mrs. Pat
terson, one of the most beautiful women in the
city, has gone home to her parents.
C?The annual Appropriation Bills which
passed the House of Representatives before its
adjournment appropriated over $35,000,000.
This includes $13,000,000 for the army : $12,
000.000 for the Navy ; ' $1,500,000 for steam
mail lines ; $2,000,000 for fortifications ; and
5 orm $'3,000,000, for civil 'services, such as
coast surveys, capitol extension, custom bou
ses, JtC.
E7A Monster Gold Nngget. The Sidney
Morning Herald' states that a nugget of gold
was recently found at Louisa Creek, New
South Wales, the value of which is estimated
at $20,000. It weighs auont five hundred, but
thero is very little gold visible on the surface.
This is tho largest nugget of gold yet discov
ered in the world. Its discovery produced
quite a sensation.
C7"The three candidates on the' locofoco
State ticket were all formerly printers. Gen.
Packer began life as a printer boy : Judge
Lewis started in life as a printer, and for a
time edited a paper in Lycoming county ; and
Mr. Strickland was for fifteen years editor of
the West Chester Republican. This, taken in
connection vAh the fact that our new U. S.
Senator, Gen. Cameron, as well as his compet
itor, John W. Forney, were formerly both
printers, looks as if our profession was not on
ly much respected, but very influential in the
Keystone State.
nyjlaa a time of it the editor of the War
ren Ledger, in trying to collect. After two
days' unceasing effort, he got a note from a
chap who owed him. and traded it off for a pair
of butes," in which ho determined to give
his delinquents chase as long as they will hold
together. In his last paper he gives two of
his Democratic legal patrons a dig." One
owed him $10,50 and the other $4. He says
he came pretty near trading oil' thc large ac
count for a jack-knife, but as he gave the sharp
dealer tho choice, he took the smaller bill,
and so has. it on hand yet. Ray ther hard col
lecting out in Warren, we should think.

TOR THC CURB OF
Bronchial affections,Chugks, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, used it with unpxr
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and usod
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immcdiute relief. In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this certain cine.
It would be easy to follow in the wake of the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up for the occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to tho public. Its real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot but give it a wide circulation, and
rceotnuiend It to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 37 Cents per Bottle.
