CLEARFIELD, TA., JUNE 3, 1837.
Seasonable Gooes. Montcliusfc Ten Eyck
have received and opened at tlicir store in
Curwensville, a select and Taried assortment
of Spring and Summer Goods, which they are
offering at prices to suit the times. Their ad
vertisement w ill he found in another column, f
Bars Burned. On last Wednesday night,
wo regret to learn, the barn of Mr. Joseph
l'others, of Knrthaus township, was destroyed
by fire, with its contents, including a horse
and cow, and all his harness. It is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
On the same night, the barn of Mr. William
White, of said township, was also set on fire,
but fortunately extinguished before any se
rious damage.
There seems to bo a gang of scoundrels
prowliug about different sections of our coun
ty, committing robberies, burning property,
n l perpetrating other villanies. It ia time
tli it thuir operations aro stopped, and we trust
-;V,'T good citizen will lend his aid and influ
ence in bringing them to justice.
Honoron Taxes. What becomes or rar.
.'foxFTf Don't be scared at (he heading of
!.iis Peru, for we don't intend bringing any
i harge of fraud -or embezzlement against our
borough fathers."' Nor do we wish to be un
derstood as intimating that those "invc ted
with authority," are cither derelict In duty or
mismanage matters far from it. But our cit
izens,' who are every few days called upon (or
borough taxes, lime a perfect right to know
what amount is levied and collected, how dis
posed of, atid whether the disposition Is eco
nomical or otherwlw. We think, thereforo,
that a statement of" flio financial oll'iirs of our
borough should bo made public, in some way
or other, at least once a year. Last year a
pretty heavy tax for street purposes was lev
ied. But the public do not know how much
of this tax was collected, or to what objects
the portion collected was applied. True it is,
A considerable sum was spent in a laudable at
tempt to drain "the swamp" in the eastern
portion .of the town and wo are glad tn see
that the work there done has been attended,
in a great mensnre, with the desired result.
But as inquiries about our borough o Hairs are
frequent, we trust that those having control of
tlictil will take the tint tor into consideration,
nnd give the public the means of judging how
they arc discharging "tho important trust"
committed to them.

TnK Crops. The prospect for a "bard sea
son," In consequence of tho high prico of al
most every nrticlo that makes up tho daily con
sumption of a family, is considerably relieved
by the intelligence received daily of tho prom
Ising condition of tho growing crops. Tho
croakers, as usual, were ahead of tho times, in
proclaiming tho gloomy tidings of a failure ol
tho great staples of our country. Tho follow
ing article, from the Sandusky Register, is one
among a largo number of notices that have fal
len under our notice
It is well ascertained that tho crops, all
over tho country havo not promised better, for
many years, at this season, than now. True,
there are districts in which particular crops
havo suffered from tho long winter and back
ward spring, but these form tho exceptions to
tho general rule. We have carefully noted
the accounts of our exchanges in this and oth
er States, and the conclusion at which wo have
arrived Jin, that the present promise is of an
unprecedented yield, both of grains and frnits
East and West. In Ohio, especially, tho pros
pects aro unusually flattering for wheat, oats,
ic. Corn planting in the northern section is
nearly over with : and although tho farmers
ate later than usual in getting in their crops,
tiic ground is in such excellent condition to re
eeive it, and the weather is now so favorable,
that tho impression is, it will coiuo forward
rapidly enough to niako up for lost time. Tho
Cincinnati Price Current publishes a large
ii ii lu bo r of letters from different points in Ohio,
Indiana ami Illinois, relative to tho grain pros
. pects, all of which, with only occasional excep
tions, sneak most encouragingly. Tho Chica
go Journal furnishes similar information from
numerous correspondents from points in tho
.ewer Western States, Iowa, Wisconsin, Min-
VMCta, Michigan, and others. I!, closes its com
incnts upon tho summary thus furnished, as
follows:" "We venturo the prediction that
the yield of wheat at the coming harvest in
tho west will bo inoro abundant than it ever
lias boon nt any preceding harvest, ami that tho
grain crops in this country of every kind will
be most ample, both for home consumption
and thn foreign demand. We almost daily
Lear reports indicative of this state of things,
from various parts of this aad neighboring
States, since tho season has fairly opened.
Tho wiutcr wheat in most localities looks well,
' nnd a liberal extent of soil is being devoted to
tho spring sown wheat. The quantity of corn
that will be planted this season is almost In
credible, and with anything like favorablo
weather for planting and growing, by far tho
heaviest crop of corn will bo gathered this
year that has ever been harvested inthiseoun
try." 1
I7A gentleman who has just returned from
a somewhat extensive trip through Upper Ca
nada, informs tho Rochester Democrat that
nothing can exceed the promise of the wheat
crop there, and unless some evil, now unex
ported, shall befall it, there will bo an unusual
bountiful harvest the present season.

C7"Tho Pittsburg Daily Gazette, one of the
best papers in the State, has come out in new

rE7"It is" stated that hail-stones, by actual
measurement nine inches in circumsercncc,
fell two weeks since in Hinds county, Missis

DyLiterary. Dr. Kane's heirs have been
paid $57,000 for tho sale of the lamented ex

aro trying to get tho Supremo Court to issuo
an injunction against the salo. The 'buzzards
are not yet satisfied.
Cy"Grecno County Republican" is the ti
tle of a new paper printed at Waynegburg,
Greene caunty. It is Republican in politics,
is spirited and interesting, and gives Locofo-
coisin some hard thrtists.
K7"Mr. Secretary Stanton has been examin
ing tho Border' Ruflian Laws of Kansas, and
has said, "that tome of Hum art damnable."
Ho is more candid than his doughfjce breth
ren in Pennsylvania.
iX7"Gov. Walker goes to Kansas, backed up
by a large amount of Wall-st. capital, pledged
to operate with him in a giant land specula
tion. So wo may expect to hcaroflndiun Re

Cy Hester Simons, in Troy, has been fined
$75 for disinterring the corpse of tle husband
of a widow lady w ith whom she had a quarrel,
and upon whom she thus vented her spite.
That's the latest Invention of feminine cruelty.

ff7"Tlie Limerick Reporter writes In a tone
of alarm nt the continuance of tho population
drain. Tho people, it is srid, aro literally fly
ing in thousands from tho Irish shores. If
emigration proceed at this pace, the Limerick
journal foars there will not bo hands to till
tho soil.

nessec, publishes a note in the Nashville U-
ii inn in w hich he says t "Tho jail of this conn
ty was entered this morning by some unknown
scoundrel and three prisoners taken out of
prison." This is certainly a new phase in tho
crimo of burglary.
CC7Found Guilty. In the case of the Stato
against Sam Greo, (free negro',) who was tried
at the April term of tho Circuit Court of Dor
cheater county, Md., for having in his posses

tiary for tho term of ten years I
C7"Tho Tittsburg and Stcubenville Railroad
has been leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Ccmpany for tho term of twenty years. When
tho bridges necessary to be built on this road
will bo completed, Philadelphia will have a
shorter and mbre direct routo to Cincinnati
and tho chief points in tho West than any o
thcr of tho Eastern cities.
tETXadics' Veils A Caution. Curtis, i
celebrated writer on sight, says that tho woar
ing of veils permanently weakens many natu
rally good eyes, on account of tho endeavors
of tho eye to adjust itself to tho ceaseless vi

Ladies then should bewaroof hiding their prct
ty faces with veils.

things happen sometimes, even in Lunatic A
gylums a rough fellow passing tho Worcester
establishment, noticed at tho window an old
acquaintance, and bawled out to bim, "hello,

securely, nnd at any stage of water, any number
of crafts likely to slop hero nt any one season.
Tho depth of water immediately around and at
a great distance in every direction from this Pier,
at a low stage, is seven feet; so that there is not
tho slightest danger of becoming fast aground at
anytimo By running in tho usual course to the
bridge, nnd then heading out. tho Pier can bo

A second Pier is about being creeled a short dis

LET US REASON TOUE1HER.
II O L L O W A Y ' S PILLS.
WHY ABE WE SICK I
IT has been the lot of the human race to be weigh
ed down by disease and suffering. HOLl.O
WAY'S PILLS are speciallv ndjpted to the relief
of the WEAK, tho NERVol S, the DELICATE,
and the INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Hollowny personally su
perintends the manufacture of his medicines in the
I'nilml States, and offers them to a free and t nlixlit-
eued people, as the best remedy the world ever
saw Tor the removal or disease.
THESE PIULS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Pills arc expressly combined to op
erate on the stomach, the liver, tho kidneys, the
lungs, tho skin, and the bowels, correcting any de
raugement in their functions, purifying the blood,
the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease
in ell its forms.
Ncarlv half the human race hnve taken tliee
Pills, ft has teen proved in all partsof the worlJ,
that nothing has been found equal to them incases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, nnd stomach
complaints generally. 1 hey soon give a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged, and
when all other means hnve failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have of
pencil their Custom Houses tu the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges ml in it that this
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per
sons f delicnte health, or w hero tho system has
been impaired, as its invigorating properties never
fail to ali'ord relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old. should bo without Ibis
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the
monthly courses at alt periods, acting iu many ca
ses like a charm. It is also the best and safest
medicine that can be given to Children of all ages,
nnd for any complaint; consequently no family
should bo without it.
