citizens to the letter of James E. Montgom

most vital importance to the people of Clear
field county, and his suggestions, should bo
acted upon immediately.

AcciDEJiT. On the lith, we learn, Mr. Wm.
"Williams, of Jordan township, whilst in the
act of placing a gun on a pair of hooks, one
cf which gave way and caused the discharge
of the gun, was so severely. injured by the bul
let, which entered his hip and passed out be
low tiie knee, that amputation of the limb was
deemed necessary and performed.
Hail. On Monday last, a heavy rain, ac
companied by hail, fell in this neighborhood.
In the vicinity of the borough, hail stones
nearly as large as walnuts fell, doing some in
jury to the corn and prostrating wheat, rye, &c.
On Monday night, an unusually heavy rain
fell here, overflowing meadows, and injuring
tho.jjrass and hay. .
Ths Harvest, &c. The harvest in this
county is very backward. A good deal of
grass was cut last week, but the frequency of
the rains has prevented the farmers irom get
ting a large part of it dried and into the barns.
The wheat has been injured some by the wee
vil, but we are inclined to think, not as seri
ously as was anticipated. A few days of clear
weather would soon ripen the wheat. One
farmer told us he expected to cut his to-day.
Rye has a pretty good appearance. The warm
showers have been decidedly advantageous to
vorn, oats, &c, of which we may expect a
good crop yet.
John Plcmbe. This individual, who com
mitted suicide recently in Dubuque, Iowa, was
formerly a resident of the neighboring town of
Philipsburg, Centre county, and is well re
membered by many persons there and hero.
Ho was at one time the owner of the iron
works some six miles east of Philipsburg, and
lcit that plco for the west about 1836. He
and bis brothers, we understand, owned a Gne
mill property near Dubuque, as well as some
flue property in the town. The West Urbanna,
Illinois, Press, gives the following sketch ol
aim : Mr. Plambe wis about the first to
introduce the Daguerrean art into this coun
try, and for several years had extensive estab
lishments in .New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more, Boston and Albany. He was a gentle
man, an able writer, and a man universally
respected wherever Known. We give him the
credit of being the first man who publicly ad
vocated the feasibility and need of a railroad
route to the Pacific. "We heard the project
discussed by him long before it was referred
to in our colons. He was not what the world
calls a good financier, or at least he never a
vailed himself of little meannesses which
many others have seized upon, and by them
been rs.Isf:d to eminence. By never taking
the advantage in business transactions, even
when he had an opportunity, and being natu
rally liberal and trusting, he confided in oth
ers, and often found his frankness taken ad
vantage of by little sonled men, who left him
the loser financially, and as he was doing an
extensive business. Mr. P. might have been
a wealthy man, bad he lived for himself alone,
but when he was prospering he wanted all
those around him to share in his prosperity,
and as he gave others opportunities to swindle
him, and never having retaliated in turn, or at
all desired to, we presume that in his latter
years he might have found himself in rather
limited circumstances,which has no doubt had
its effect in shortening his life, ne was an
ambitious man. bnt it was laudable and manly
ambition which filled his soul. He saw oppor-
tnnities of raising himself by others' downfall,
bat preferred to be the victim of circumstan
ces, rather than swerve from rectitude, and al
lowed small lean souls to win. We knew him
in Boston some fifteen years ago, and after
wards met him on the Pacific coast. His race
it rnn, he has yielded up his life and laid him
down in sleep. ' ne was not a weak brother and
unable to ccpe with the world ; had he willed,
there wonld have been a way lor him to afflu
ence and position among his fellows, but, hav
ing a temperament peculiaily organized, he
chose to stand aside and let the crowd pass
heedlessly on its course.". .

Is the Negro a Citizex I The telegraph
yesterday announced the decision of the U.
S. Circuit Court in favor of the citizenship of
a negro who had brought suit there.- The case
was as follows: A man named Lamar while
in a drunken frollic in Galena, in 1854, com
mitted a violent and unprovoked assault upon ,
a colored barber by the name of Mitchell, who
was severely injured. Lamar was arraigned
before a magistrate for the assault, fined a few
dollars and discharged. The suit pending in
the U. S. Court was brought for private dama
ges, and the defendant being a resident of Wis
consin, rendered it necessary that the action
should be brought in that Court. Lamar put
in a plea that Mitchell being a negro was not
in view of the Drcd Scott decision, a citizen
of the United States and could not therefore
sue in a United Sates Court. The counsel for
Mitchell demurred to this plea, and the Court,
alter argument, has decided that Mitchell be
ing neither a slave nor the descendant of 'a
slave ii a citizen and competent to sue. Mc
Lean, the Circuit Judge, and Drummond, the
District Judge, agreed in making this deci
sion. Pittsburgh Gazette, July 17th.
