CLEARFIELD, PA., JVLY 28, 1857.
Attacked by a Paktueh. On last Wednes
day, the 22d inst., towards evening, Mr. Jacob
"Eoonts, of Goshen township, started ou the
Karthaus pike, ia the direction of Caledonia,
on horseback, in search of his cows, which ho
found about 6 miles fremt home. Xiglit over
took him on his return, and when within about
3 miles of his house, a panther sprang out of
the woods upon the bell cow and threw her
down in the road. Mr. K.'s horse frightened
and ran a short distance, during which time
the cattle were in a terrible uproar. ' It was
rcxy dark, and Mr. Koontz could not see all
the performances, but by some means the cow
managed to escape, without any particular
damage. The. "varmint," however, loft a fair
impression of its paws, which it had muddied,
on the cow's side, lie ia an old offender that
has been prowling about for several years, and
a pursuit was projected for the next morning,
Imt we have not learned whether it was car
ried iuto effect. '
Capt. Dak. W.avee, .of the Mansion House,
did a rather pi-ous act one day last week. As
we were about passing his door, he invited us
to take dinner, adding, by way of parenthesis,
that he had some fresh "huckleberry pics."
Well if wo didn't do ample justice to the
dinner in general, and the pies in particular,
then there is no neod trying to do so. The
Capt. is a '-prince of good fellows," and keeps
an excellent hotel.
Fatal Accident. On last Thurday, a man
named Jo?pb Paine was felling a tree tn the
neighborhood of David Tyler, Esq., of Huston
township, when the top struck another tree
act! "broke off. Flying back, it struck Mr.
Pain on the forehead with such force as to
fractare his skull, and canss the blood to ooze
from his nostrils and eyes every time l:c
Irsathf 4.' He died in the course of the day.
BtUGLABT. On last Thursday night, the
store of James S. Williams, in rhilipsburg,
we learn, was entered and goo'ls stolen there
from to the value of about 130. Among the
goods taken were two silver watches, several
pieces of muslin, calico, tec. The thief has
thus far cluucd apprehension.
"A CSIZL AKANG YE TAKIN' KOTES."
"DiEEXiCH," a correspondent of the Som
erset Herald 4r Whig, has recently been trayel
ing through our region of eounlry, and gives
the following sketch of his. trip lrom Tyrone
to Clearfield. -
"We slept at Tyrone. The next morning
we were pleased to see an old-fashioned, four
horse coach ready to convey us over another
mountain to Clearfield. The coach looked like
an old acquaintance ; we entered it on the
best of terms ; but the road was bad, so bad,
indeed, that the coach lost all self-command,
and went Jumping anT pitching at a desperate
rate, and without tite least regard for the .feel
ings of seventeen men, women and children
that wctc In and upon it. Indeed, it became
bo familiar with us, and took so many priv
ileges, that we were all perfectly satisfied be
fore the journey was half completed, to cut its
friendship and bid it adieu forever.
"The country through which we passed is very
mountainous-, and the inhabitants sparce. The
fc'.I is shallow, so shallow that one or two crops
are said to exhaust its native productiveness,
and render manuring and careful culture nec
essary. It has always been a wonder tome,
how men can settle down in this wild, moun
tainous country, aud exhaust their energies
and their . trcngth in clearing away these dense
forests of pine, hemlock and laurel ; in plough
ing among pine stumps, rocks and roots, with
iio other prospect than that of reaping a crop
too acuity to lurniaii themselves and their fam
ilies with breaJ, and especially is it a wonder,
when it is known that these same men, by go
ing a few days ride farther west, can obtain
land uthalf the cost of their own, cleared of
frees, stumps, and stones, with a soil so deep
and productive that an ordinary lifetime is too
grt to exhaust it. This country, so destrnc
tive to energy and human comfort, is neverthe
less beautifully wild and romantic. The eye
rests with pleasure upon the blue mountains
rolling along the distant skies, and upon the
dark green foliage of the hemlock, laurel and
pine. The surface in many places is com
pletely covered with mosses, mountain-tea,
.od other winter-greens ; the low laurel and
honey snckle bloom beautifully just above the
mossy carpeting ; above these is the high laur
el ; and out ol this laurel thicket the dark
trunks of the hemlock and white pine rise ma
jestically to the height of a common tree and
then jx-ch out their branches, lapping one u
pon another high up in the air, and forming a
leafy arch. The sight is beautiful. As far as
the eye can penetrate, these dark trunks rise
up from the moss clad earth like round col
umns and sustain the arch of foliage, forming
a grand temple of the Druids. Merging from
this dense forest, we cnine juddeuly upon the
small village of Phiiipsburg, where we rested
and took refreshment.
"PhiliDsburj, a small village surrounded
witli forests of pine; takes its name from its

Mr. L. was a native of this vicinity, and son of
the late Abm. Leonard, of Bradford tp. About the
year 183U he left his fathers house, and for a short
time acting as clerk in a relatives store in Pitts
burg; he joined a party of men for the purpose of
crossing the Rocky mountains, exploring tho Co
lumbia river and the Pacific coast, there to trade,
trap and barter with the Indians and Spaniards of
those remote regions, and if possiblo to find out
more of the realities that have since been discov
ered in that golden quarter, of which a pretty fair
narrative is familiar to all the youth of our coun
ty, as he sketched off one, which was published
during his gbort visit home in 1335 or 'iT'fa -gain

ately to the spot where he died, having selected
that point then a wilderness, far beyond any hab
itation on his way back from the mountains, as
the scene of his future operations. Here he soon
found the tide of emigration to follow, and of
course he quickly realized tho reward of an enter
prising and sagacious mind, in the rapid increase
and value of bis possessions ; as a town, warehouse
and wharf and Leonard's landing, soon became
realities. Mr. L. was a widower, and now leaves
but an only son to cherish his memory. All who
remember him in his youth admited him for his
social qualities, his keenness .of perception, and
