Rcffiasism is Clearfield. On last Mon
day, the notorious Bucher Swope, pretty well
known here as "the skunk," without provoca
tion, assaulted the editor of this paper, en
the street, in a very ruffianly manner, calcula
ting, prolably, to demolish us at one fell
ucoop. The "valiant" assailant, however,
had overrated his own physical strength, and
oen found himself sprawling in the gutter,
(a very appropriate place for him,) after hav
ing performed some very amusing feats in
ground and loity tumbling. " After picking
i.iii'self up, he pitched at us again, when we
planted our fist in and about his eyes so efl'ec-
t"-t!!y as to blicken one of them very beauti
fully. At this stage of the proceedings he
discovered that ho was wanted somewhere

COTTXIY SUPERINTENDENT.
Mb. EniTon : The time for giving notice,
that a County Superintend int is to b elected
vn the first Monday cf May next by a Conven
tion of the School Directors of the county, has
not arrived, but would it not be well at this
time to call the attention of the directors and
the public to that fact ? Several gentlemen
will make application for the post, and from
nmong them the directors wi'.l be required to
select one of literary and scientilic acquire
ineiita and of skill and experience in the art
cf teaching, to serve for three years. To elect
a person competent and willing to perform the
duties ot the office is the duty of the direc
ton, and will advance the eause of education.
To elect one wanting cither of those requisites
is to squander the public money and bring our
common school system into disrepute. I would
suggest to the Directors to admit no person,
not entitled to a scat, to the convention during
Its sitting, and in order to test the competen
cy of those who apply for the situation to ex
.uutine all applicants. l't.NX.

that it is impossible any disease ufldie stom
