THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MAT 20, 1857.
CouMcaioa Services. Rev. Mr. Hamraill,
of Boalsburg, will preach in the Presbyterian
church in QloarSeld borough, on the 6th Sab.
bath in May, on which occasion communion
will be held. There will be preaching at 2 o'
clock on the preceding day. .
Meeting Postponed. In consequence of
the adjournment of Court this morning, the
American Republican meeting called tor this
evening, is postponed to Wednesday evening
of August Court, at the Court House.
Court Pkoceedisgs.- The Court this week
was very slimly attended, and Judge Burnside
left this morning. We learn that all cases on
the civil list were continued. A few unim
portant cases on the argument list and the fol
lowing in the Sessions were disposed of:
Charles Pierre and Wm. Smith, charged with
stealing a horse and sleigh, last winter, from
John Shaw, Sr., plead guilty, and were sen
tenced to pay a fine of $100, restore the prop
erty, and nutfergo imprisonment in the Wes
tern penitentiary for the term of three years.
Com. vs. Jos. White. Larceny of shoes, pro
perty of Hile & Bro. Tried, and Defendant
acquitted.
The Grand Jury found several true bills for
nuisance against those engaged in floating
loose logs, and also a bill for riot against those
who made tho attack on the floaters of Clear
field Creek. Court adjourns to-day.
The War on Clearfield Crefk. We re
ceived, a few days since, a communication
from Woodward township, signed "A Citizen,"
giving the Log-floaters version of the difficul
ty which occtirred at Driftwood Island on the
1st instant. The floaters throw the blame up
on the raftsmen, and tbe writer says a re-action
of public sentiment in fiyor of the floaters
has taken place in consequence of the extreme
measures resorted toby the former, and thinks
the latter should have a fair hearing. No rea
sonable man would object to that ; but inas
much, however, as the communication con
tains some inferences which, in our opinion,
would only embitter the parties against each
other, and ps tho matter will be judicially in
vestigated and the facts fully brought to light
and made public, we deem i: prudent and best,
with all dne deference to the writer, to omit it.
Pat op Couxtt Commissioners, Witsessks
and' Jurors. We see it stated that an act has
passed both branches of our State Legislature,
and received the Governor' signature, which
provides that from and after its passage, the
Commissioners of the counties of Westmore
land, Delaware, Elk, Luzerne and Clearfield
shall receive two dollars per day, witnesses at
tending Court one dollar per day, and Jurors
one dollar and fifty cents per day, with mile
age, payment to be made as directed by exist
ing laws relating thereto.
Robbery. We have been informed that
a' rogue, who was prowling through Burnside
township last week, stole $20 in money from
Mr. Henry Darr on Thursday morning. The
money was taken from the pocket of a coat
which was hanging in a room up-stairs. A
stranger who had lodged at Mr. D.'s the night
previous, is - suspected. People should be
watchful of such fellows.
TnE Rivf.r was in good rafting order during
the latter part of the p3st, and the beginning
of this week. On Sunday we observed sev
eral ratts passing this place, and we presume
that very few, if any, this season, will fail to
he run to market. The freshets were, howev
er, late in the season, and money matters are
yet stringent in this county ; but we may, in a
short time, when our lumbermen icturn, ex
pect to experience easier times.
This Weather. The atmosphere has con
tinued cool during the past six or eight days,
with frosts at night ; but we believu no injury
has resulted from the frosts, though they have
had the effect of retarding vegetation. The
season is very backward, and farming opera
tions have advanced but little in this county.
A great deal of rain has fallen within the two
last weeks. It rained all day yesterday.
Pocket Picked. Yesterday evening, Mr.
Zachariah Ogdcn, of Lawrence township, had
bis pocket picked of $51 in money, whilst at
tending an auction jn this borough.
A Farm, in Ferguson, and 50 acres of land,
in Pike township, are advertised for sale by

rrP"The Vicksburg, Miss., Whig states that
ninety-six thousand dollars have been sub
scribed in that city towards purchasing a plan
tation for Ex-President Pierce. The sum ask
ed for the property is $100,000, leaving $4,000
to be subscribed in order to complete the pur
chase. CC?ThG crops in Greenville county ,Va., are
said to be in a sad condition, and the people
are purchasing corn for food purposes at the
rate of five and six dollars per barrel. This
in Greenville county, one of the richest agri
cultural counties in Virginia, is a pad state of
things.
HPNeal Dow has had a grand reception from
the temperance people of England. In a
speech made at Manchester, he claimed that
the Maine Law has been a glorious and com
plete success, which is somewhat doubted on
this side of the water. The law undoubtedly
accomplished some good, lut that it has been
a complete success cannot properly be said.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
Blair Cocntt. The Presbyterian congre
gation at Tyrone have commenced the build
ingaf a new church. A few days ago, an
insane boy entered the house of Mr. Keys, in
Tyrone, during the absence of the family, and
after turning everything topsy-turvy, carried
off a number of valuable articles. On the
5th inst., a boy of 14 years, son of Wm. Ham
mond, of Catharine twnship, disappeared and
has not been heard of since. When last seen
he was sitting on the abutment-of the dam a
cross the river at Cove Forge, and it is feared
that he is drowned. A man named Luke
Feeney was arrested on the Gth at Altoona for
stabbing a man in a doggery at Stonerstown,
Bedford county, and whose life is despaired
of. In attempting to arrest Feeney, Thomas
Glecson was shot through the hand by the ac
cidental discharge of a pistol. Several in
dividuals have recently been 'jugged' in Ilol
lidaysburg, for disorderly conduct, whilst in a
state of intoxication.
Montocr Countt. A horrible case of sup
posed wife poisoning, has just been revealed
at Danville, caused by the death, under suspi
cions circumstances, of Mrs. Catharine Ann
Clark, on Saturday the 9th May. It having
been ascertained that her husband, a pedlar,
named William Clark, had purchased, on sev
eral occasions previously, both arsenic and
strychnine, in order, as ho alleged, to poison
rats, and her sudden death soon after, a suspi
cion of foul play was created. Clark was ar
rested and a Coroner's jury summoned to in
vestigate the cause of her death. The hus
band of a Mrs. Twiggs died about three weeks
since, under similar circumstances, and for
certain reasons suspicion rests upon her as be
ing an accomplice of Clark's. She has been
arrested. The body of Mr. Twiggs will prob
ably be disinterred this evening (12th) for
medical examination.
Washington Countt. The Commonwealth
of the 13th. says : There is no doubt in the
public mind as to tho guilt of Fife, Stewart
and Charlotte Jones, in the Wilson McMastcrs
butchery ; indeed, it is shown, by the testi
mony ol Margaret Tuton, that this murder was
plotted before the White murder took place.
The perpetrators of the White murder are not
so clearly shown, but we think enough has
been elicited to lead to tho detection of the
authors of this horrid crime. A rumor has
been circulated that Bill Jones has made a
confession, but this is untrue. He preserves
a moody and dogged silence. William is still
at large, and we fear he will, if he has not al
ready, make his escape. Our officers are ex
ercising the utmost vigilance, and should any
thing of importance transpire we shall take
the earliest moment to spread it before our
readers.
Indiana Countt. The Register of the 12lh
states that Thomas R. Lukehart, charged with
abstracting a $50 bill from a letter at the Plura
villc post office, was tried in the United States
District Court, sitting at Pittsburg the week
previous, and fully acquitted. McCormick,
who was lodged in jail on a charge of stealing
a marc from Mr. Silas Adams, lias been releas
ed on bail. Henry Palmer, who- had been
convicted of manslaughter at the December
court, received a pardon from the Governor
on the 9th, and returned home the same eve-,
ning. The western fever still prevails. Dr.
J. M. Taylor and family left for Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, on the 11th.
Clinton Cocntt. A boy was drowned, in
the river at Grugan's landing, on Sunday the
10th. Two lads were in the river in a skiff,
which was capsized by the high wind. The
larger lad, who could not swim, clung to the
boat, and was saved. The smaller undertook
to swim to shore and was drowned. We have
not learned his name.

JOBINS' EXPECTORANT,
COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
FOR THE CURE OF
Bronchial affectionsXoughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but U prepared from
tho recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and used
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediute relief. In this ever
changing climate, whero coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this certain cikk.
It would be easy to follow in the wakeof 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 the public. Its real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot but give it wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 37i Cents per Bottle.

Tf! O R I V E R M EN THE COLUMRIA
JL PIER COMPANY has erected a Pier in the
River, opposite Columbia, about 400 feet in longth,
200 yards from the shore, and 2u0 yards below tbe
Columbia Bridge, for the hitching and securing of
units. ArKs, AO., and 01 capacity sunicient to bold
securely, and at any stage of water, any number
of crafts likely to stop here at any one season.
The depth of water immediately around and at
a great distance in every direction from this Pier,
at 11 low stage, is seven feet ; so that there is not
the slightest danger of becoming fast aground at
anytiino By running i 11 the usual courso to the
bridge, and then heading out. the Pier can bo
reached by crafts without the slightest difficulty.
A second Pier is about being erected a short dis
tance below tbe present one, and is expected to be
so far completed as to be ready for use during this
Spring's business.
Ono or more competent persons will be employ
ed by the company, to receive and take charge of
Rafts, Arks. Ac, delivered to them; and strong ca
bles provided, to secure the fleet left in their care.
The charge for fastening to tho Piers, the present
season, will be One Dollar for any time not ex
ceeding one week ; and Fity rents for each addi
tional week or portion of a week.
This, the company feci assured, will be the very
best and most advantageous landing on the river.
No property landing here need be molested, or get
aground and be sacrificed on account of a sudden
falling of the water; but can remain here secure,
whilst the owner may be trying to sell in the va
rious markets to which be has access ; and bo-can
leave here at any time, and at any stage of water,
with his, property, if he can do better in another
market, either by river, canal, or railroad for
Baltimoic, Philadelphia, or any of the various
markets elsewhere having bia own time in which
to do so. GEORGE BOGLE,
