CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 1, 1S57. V
TVRO.NK & CLEARFIELD RAILROAD.
ExcuitsioN party:
Th Directors and Stockholders of the Ty
rone and Clearfield Railroad, and all others
who feel interested in the completion tf the
roa-., are requested to meet at Tyrone on Mon
day evening or early on Tuesday morning
next, for the purpose of making an excursion
"Ver.ll.at portion of the road which is now
under contract. It is hoped that every one
who can possibly do so, will attend.
Examination. There will be an examina
tion of the pupils of Clearfield Institute du
ring Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
The public are respectfully invited to attend.
, The Asscal Exhibition of Clearfield Insti
tute will be on Thursday Evening, July 9th,
inst., in front of the Academy. A cordial in
vitation is extended to all.
Convention of Directors. In pursuance of
a resolution passed at the County Convention
of School Directors held at Clearfield on the
first Monday of May, 1857, a meeting of dele
gates from the various School districts of
Clearfield county was held at the Town Hall,
Clearfield, cn Thursday Juue 2-3ih, 18-57. The
Rev. L. L. Still was selected as President and
L. J. Crans and- Robert J. Wallace, appointed
Secretaries.
". The copimittec on text books submitted the
following report. To the President, &c. :
The Committee appointed for the purpose of
examining and selecting suitable school books
to be used in the Common Schools of Clear
field county, beg leave to report; that through
the kindness of several publishers in Philadel
phia, New York and Boston, with whom they
pnt themselves in correspondence immediate
ly after their appointment they have been en
abled to examine many school books of great
value. ..The saying of Solornan "of making
uiany books there is no end" seems as appli
cable to the present, as it was to his time.
From the examination which your committee
have made they are satisfied that many books
which aro highly recommended are books long
in use now out of" date remodeled, introdu
cing slight changes of matter but no improve
ments. ... Your committee have been desirous
of recommending none but the best publica
tions. 'Among the books recommended will
be found some already introduced into our
schools, and a few which have not j et found
their way into our county. Where your com
mittee have examined books by different au
thors possessing equal merit, various consid
erations have induced them to prefer those
named in the report, among which, style of
publication, price, and the fact that the books
are now in general use in our schools, have
Lad their weight.
The Committee recommend for adoption
- the following :
Sargent's Smaller Standard Speller and
Standard Speller.
Lynd's First book of Etymology and Class
book ef Etymology.
Sander's 1st, 2nd, 3d, 4th, 5th and High
School Readers, new series.
- Greene's Introduction to Grammar and Ele
ments of English Grammar.
Kerard's History of the United States.
Trego's Geography of Pennsylvania.
ilitchell's series of School Geograpies.
Warrea'a Physical Geography.
, Davics' Arithniatics, Algebras, Calculus,
Legendrc and Mensuration.
G ummsre's Suvey ing.
Coniitock's Natural Philosopl- and Chem
istry. Comstock's Elocution and Alphabetical
Charts.
Webster's Dictionary, (unabridged.)
BecKer's American System of Penmanship.
The adoption, by the several school districts
throughout the countj-,of similar school books,
and the exclusion from the schools of all other
orks on. the same subject, must be attended
with very beneficial effects. Such a co'rsu will
enable ihe teachers to properly classify their
pupils, and effect more good in a term of four
months than is now accomplished in six will
greatly facilitate the CountySupcrintendent in
imparting instruction at his regular visits to
the schools, and in the end be a saving to pa
rents in the purchase of Luoks.
Connected with the adoption of text books
the purchase by the several boards, of a suf
ficient nnmltcr of books for the use of their
schools which are to be plrced in the care of
teachers who are to be responsible for them,
xecms to your committee to be a proper and
important subject for discussion and action.
They would also recommend that in, every
school a regular record be kept and that pa
rents be informed, weekly or monthly of the
attendance and progress of their children.
Your committee think V better plan could be
adopted to 1nfu.se "a spii it "cf emulation in the
echulars, increase the interest of parents and
render our school system more efficient.
Respectfuliy submitted.
. L. J. Crans, Ellsha Fenton,

j "Win. F. Johnston,
" The report hiving been read it was on mo
tion, unanimously "
Resohrd, That It is necessary and proper for
the different school districts in Clearfield coun
ty, to adopt the same works as text books and
exclude other works on the same subjects from
the schools.
, On motion, the books recommended by the
committee were considered seperately. Da
isies' arithmetics being under consideration,

cnt districts.

school, and parents bo informed regularly of

dings of this convention be published in the
Clearfield Republican,' 'Raftsman's Journal,'
and Common School Journal.' Adjourned.
.Tiie "Merrimac" Speculation. The fol
lowing article from the Telegraph, printed at
Wyoming, Nebraska Territory, may prove in
teresting to some of our Clearfield friends :
Swindling. Charles S. Gilbert, is engaged
in swindling by selling lots in a town called
Merrimac, or rather, giving a number of them
away to make the rest more valuable, charging
only $1, to pay the commissions, stating that
the law rccpiircs a consideration in a deed to
make it valid. This was a commcmfable fore
sight in him, and the thing looked so fair, the
lots were readily disposed of. He sent his
plan and circular to the different postmasters,
requesting them to act as agents and as an
inducement, offered them a lot for every ten
they sold. We hear that in pome localities
there were as many as SO lots sold by one post
master, .Somo of the victims even were in
duced to come to the Territory for the purpose
of looking up and improving their lots. Now
for the information of all concerned, we in
form theia that no such city as Merrimac
exists, except in the prolific imagination of the
said Gilbert ; and that there is not a stake
stuck, nor the fine school-house, ware-house,
or steamboat landing, as he avers there is in
bis circular, anywhere in the vicinity of the
place he designates Merrimac City to be lo
cated. It is an unmitigated humbug, and
Charles S. Gilbert is an impostor. We would
advise our eastern friends to keep a sharp
look out for these speculators in city lots on
paper; for Gilbert is not the only one who is
engaged in such swindling operations.
Xew Advertisements. By a reference to
our advertising columns, it will be seen that
the administrators of Richard Curry, dee'd,
offer some valuable property for sale.
W. A. Campbell will dispose of his personal
property on the 11th inst.
The books of E wen L. Miller are in the
hands of W. A. Wallace, Esq., for collection.
Persons indebted to the firm of Bloom &
Montgomery are requested to pay np.
The card of Thomas G. Snyder, of Kyler
town, will also be found among the new adver
tisements which appear in this paper.
Fatal Accident. On tiie 22d June, Mark
L. Johnson, son of Robert Johnson, of Jordan
township, near Ansonville, was killed by the
falling of a limb of a tree at which he was
working. The limb struck him on the head
and broke the skull, causing instantaneous
death. He was about 12 years of age.
A Good Move. We sec the "borough fath
ers" are taking some steps towards grading
acd otherwise improving the streets. We
trust they will continue at the good work un
til the streets are-put in such condition as they
should be. We should like to sec them well
maca'damised.

Thou art gone to rest, dear ones,

Great Horse Race at Albany. A race
for $2000 a side, came off on Wednesday af
ternoon, in Albany, between tho Dalton horse
owned there, and the Taylor horse, owned in
New York. The distance was twenty miles,
in harness. The Dalton horse made a waiting
race for seventeen miles, laying close to Tay
lor's qnarters and taking, it easy, and at the
eighteenth mile Dalton drew ahead and main
tained it for a mile, when Taylor ran past him,
going in a few lengths ahead. The time for
travelling the twenty miles was one hour
twelve minutes and fifty four seconds. The
Judges decided the race in favor of Dalton,
who gets the stakes, in consequence of Tay
lor's horse running. The horses are matched
for a fiftv mile race to come off at New York.

mO THOSE WHO WANT FARMS,
X A FARM W ITH IN THE REACH OF
EVERY MAN.
THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
ransemcnts bv which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
tho best limestone Boil of the most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County, Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10.000. The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the boat quality of Coal
and Iron. The price to buy it out is from $3 to
$20 per acre, payable in instalments, to be located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acrf?
entitling to locate the same for S3l)0, payabln $6
per month or 12i acres payable $4 per month.
Discount for every sum of SlOOand under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over ? 100 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the following nre presented:
Firxt The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising tho heaviest crops, owiflg to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Feranil It is the centre of the great North West
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market (according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in the Union.). It
has five workable veiucs of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22.000 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of tho land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore and the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers. ,
Fourth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market for our coal to the Lakes it runs
from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of this
road has been finished, and U now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards our land in the western direction, tho means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects us with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. Tho Venango Road connects us with the
West.
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which has already taken place. "
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to the man who wants to provide himself a home
in an easy way, and make a settlement where he
can live in prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No caso of fever ever having been known to ocf
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to tho
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollerant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, w here tbe price of land is high, and where
tho emigrant, after being used to the healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. But here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. ' There is a cash markct'athand. The lum
ber trade last year amouBtcd to over two hundred
million eet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories will soon
be started-; they are at. present starting them ex
tensively at Warren. - Even for those who do not
wish to go there, the payments are such that they
can easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the fuuire, or to gain a competence
by the rise which will take place in the value of
lands By an ontlay scarcely missed, a substan
tial provision can be made
Persons should make early application, apply or
write to E. Jefferies, Secretary, No. 135 Walnut
street, below Fifth, Philadelphia. Letters care

Shares or tracts of land can be bought or secur

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
FOR THE CfRE OF
Bronchial affections.Coughs. 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 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 nansoa or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediute relief. In this ever
changing climate, where eftughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this cf.rtai; curb.
It would be casv to follow in tbe wake of the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply crtifieates
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, ana
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it, cannot but give it a wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 3 i CetOx per Bottle.
