THE JOURNAL
CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 15, 1857.
Tteo.ne & Cieaefield.Kailroad. In the
betnr.!rig of last week, a number of the Di
rectors and Stockholders of this road, passed
over the mountain portion of it, for the pur
pose of ascertaining the true condition of the
same. The work is much further advanced
than is generally supposed, several of the sec
tions being entirely completed, and others
nearlv so. The heaviest grades on the road,
ve are reliably informed, do not exceed some
of those on the Pennsylvania Central Road,
and the former has this advantage, that all the
he ivy grades occur on straight lines, whilst
the heavy grades On the latter are generally at
the curves. Every one that we have yet heard
speak of our road, has expressed surprise, not
only at its advanced condition, but at its su
periority when compared with other roads tra
versing mountainous regions of country.
Whilst on this subject, we cannot refrain
from repeating what we have expressed on sev
eral former occasions, that much commenda
tion is due the Chief Engineer, James E. Mont
gomery, Esq., for Lis ' assiduity and perseve
ring efforts i:i behalf of this enterprise, which
is ol infinitely more importance to the people
of Clearfield connty, than peihaps they are
willing to believe. The advantages that would
accrue to them tiro almost incalculable, but
will be apparent to any one that will give the
matter a few moments' consideration. We
have more latent mineral wealth than is ever
dreamed ol. Iron ore of superior quality is
peering lrom almost every hill-side. Large
deposits of rich bituminous coa! can be found
almost anywhere. The land, if properly cul
tivated, will yield as good crops as can be
raised in Pennsylvania. A railroad once com
pleted, thus ftnnihi'at;r:2 distance;, economi
zing time, and giving easy and cheap means
of transportation, the wealth that now lies hid
den in "the bowels of the earth," will soon be
sought aftrj epital will find its way hither,
manufactories will spring up, our immense
Itm.ber business, which is far greater than is
known to persons not residing here, will as
sume a diflorent phaze, being no longer en--tirely
dependent upon the ' 'floods," labor will
be in demand, property will enhance in value,
agriculture will be stimulated, and prosperity
wilL abound. Such results have been experi
enced from the construction of railroads in re
gions no more favored by nature than this
county, and such, we have no doubt, will be
the effect of the completion of the Tyrone &
Clearfield Kai'.road. Wc trust that those who
have control of the affairs of the company, will
riuh the work on vigorously, and get a por
rion of it into running order as soon as possi
Me, thus making it produce something, render
ing the stock marketable, giving character to
the road abroad, and enabling the company to
tfnish the entire line at an early day.
Exhibition op tub Clearfield Institute.
Last Thursday evening a very large concourse
of people attended the annual exhibition of the
pupils oi tho Clearfield Institute, which was
held in lront of the Academy building, where
ample staging had been erected for the occa
sion. The performances consisted of original
jrarions, declamations, dialogues, &c. We
l-!icve we express the public sentiment when
we say that we were highly jdeased with the
l-erlcrmances, and that the actors acquitted
themselves in a praiseworthy manner, alike
creditable to themselves and to the Principal.
The Curwcnsville Saxe-llorn Band were in at
tendance, and enlivened the performances with
a number of spirited and popular tunes, which
were generally admired. The Institute has
f jr several years been under the efficient prin
cipalage f Mr. Win. A. Campbell, ably assist
ed in thw Female Department by his wife ; but
their connection witli the same now ceases,
MrrC." having concluded to engage in another
pursuit. We hope the Trustees may soon en
gage the services of another equally compe
tent teacher, so that we may continue to have
a Be let t school in our borough.
Srmza Bite. Qn Tuesday of last week,
Mr. Samnei Mitchell, of this borough, was bit
ten on the right wrist by a Mua'.I black s'ilcr.
By the next dy it became very painful; the
arm commenced swelling and inflaming, and
continued so until the entire arm and the side
of the neck were effected. lie applied alle
viatives and poultices until he succeeded in
reducing the swelling and checking the inflam
mation. He has, however, yet a very sore
arm. Persons cannot be too guarded towards
epiders. Their bite is venomous, and we have
noticed no less than three deaths from this
cause, as well as evera! cases similar to the
cne above mentioned.
Hail Stokm. On Monday afternoon, a vio
lent hail storm passed a couple miles north of
this borough. In tho neighborhood of Oliver
Conkiia's, the hail cut the corn leaves literally
into strips, though the corn is not injured be
yond recovery, aad the buckwLeat fields are
washed a great deal. A number of trees were
blown down, and falling across the roads, ren
dered them almost impassable. It is said to
have been the severest storm that has been cx
perienced in this region for many years. Some
of tl.e hail stones were as large as hickory
nuts. We have not learned how far the storm
Extended.
EranLABT. On Friday night last, tho store
cl A. Montgomery, in Curwensville, was en
tered through the tack cellar window. Tb
rogue, however, made no great speculation, as
lie happened to carry off nothing but aboul
$ 10 in nncurrcnt Li'ls and 80 cents in change
although he had taken a gold watch, but which
he, fortunately for Mr. M., dropped out ol hi
pocket on the floor, when crawling out of the
window, through which he had entered, and
where it was found next morning.
A number of new advertisements appear in
the columns of the Journal, to which attention
is invited.
Beoke Jail. "Bill Henry," as he is called,
who. has been confined to our connty jail on a
charge of rape, made his escape last night, by
digging a hole through the wall. On the eve
ning of the 3d inst., k will be recollected, he
had got out of the prison, but was recaptured
by the Sheriff the next day, and, as was sup
posed, securely confined ; Snt the jail is so in
secure as to render escape comparatively oa
sy. It is extremely doubtful whether he will
bo retaken again, as he ha3 no doubt well
planned his escape. "Bill" is stspected of
having some knowledge of, if not of being one
of the villianswho robbed the store of John
Y. Smitten, at Marchand, Indiana county, a
couple months ago.
Disorderly Conduct. During the time of
the exhibition of the Clearfield Institute last
Thursday evening, a couple of our rapid
young men indulged in a "knock-down" on
the green on the opposite side of the street,
and annoyed a portion of the audience by their
boisterous and profane language. Like Sam
Veller, they seem to have "a good street ed
dycation," at any rate.

She bore her sufferings, which were severe,
with the fort itude of a true christian, devoutly
relying on the merits of a cri.eiftd Savior, in
to whose hands she willingly resigned her de
parting spirit. The church, as well as the fam
ily have thus sustained a great loss, which is
her eternal gain.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHF.BRY.
FOR TIlECrRE OF
Bronchial aucctions,Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
chitis, Aithuia, and all other diseases of the throat
and lungs, except Consumption. Ibis invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, wio cVuring a '
practice of twenty-five years, used it with- unpar
alleled success. It is combination of expecto
rant remedies, sitnplo in their character and used
by every educated physician. It is easily ta.k. .
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediute relief. . In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and eolds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, so family
should be without this certaik cvitR.
It would be easy to follow in the wake of the vea
ders of patent medioine. and multiply certificates,
got op for the occasion, of miraculous cures, but
such adventitious aid is neeessary in introducing
this preparation to the publie. Its real value, and t
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. 37 Cents per llottls.
