r r y THE JOUBNAL. . CLEARFIELD, PA., AUG. 12, 1857. t The Wab .on Hoops and Ckmoline. Erer since hoops and crinoline have become "insti tutions" of tbis country, a merciless war has been waged against tbe ladies on that score. Many persons are constantly harping upon the defects and exaggerations of tbe fosbfoff, and in default of wit of their own, retaif the chance shafts which some brighter intellect has shot forth, or stoop to low and vulgar abase.; We think this is wrong. vWc hold that ladies have a perfect right to manage thoir own apparel, and'for ourselves, wc want It understood that tee are in favor of hoops and crinoline and cal ico generally, and would not reduce the lati tude of the graceful contour a single thread, tho' we would venture to hint the wish that they would reduce the longiinde just a little, ever so !Ht!e, so as not to make street sweeps out of their dresses. : , Crinoline, in our humble opinion, is one of tbe most beneficial inventions of this inven tive age, and hoops "is" likewise, and we have no doubt the women of the present generation have already renped.jmmoTjse advantage from their use. It is not now necessary for a lady to car'y the baif of a country dry goods store on her person in order to give her a respecta ble rotendity, but she can dispense with ten or a dozen of the skirts she was won t to wear, be airy, and feel particularly comforta ble in hot weather. We believe if the ladies will stand by the light crinoline, the genera tion yet to come will be healthier and strong er, consumption and kindred diseases will be fewer, c.-.lure be unrestrained, and life will be longer. . ' "' Our advice then to the ladies is, Don't give up ycur hoops. Never mind what addlc-pated, roosterly polite, self-conceited, popinjay dan dies and ur.appreciative gawks say. Let them rave, and scold, and blather till they are tired. You have the right of tbe matter. Therefore, to use a common phrase, "spread"' yourselves, as lunch as you please, don't concede a solita ry inch of pavement room, and make snch male bipeds as don't like hoops, clear the track. "Them's our sentiments." PiiiLirssiRG We reglectcd heretofore to mention that our triend J. E. Montgomery ,Esq, presented us with a very beautiful lithograph ed map of l'hilipsburg, Centre Co. Since the building of the Tyrone & CI. Railroad has been commenced, the citizens of that town seem to have been inspired with new enterprise and vigor, and .a number of neat and excellent buildings have been erected." The place is lo tated in the centre of the great Allegheny Coal Field and the Lumber region of the Mo shannon valley. When the railroad is once completed that far, it will be the culminating point for a large nniount of trade, for several years to come, at least. The -coal business that will then be done, will at all times give employment to a great many laborers, and will create a good market for all kinds of produce . and provisions. Iron ore exists also in abun dance, and there is every facility in the neigh borhood for the erection of rolling mills, man ufactories, &c. The truth is, we know of few places in Central Pennsylvania that arc posses sed o'f more advantages, and all 'that is requir ed to make it a place of some moment is an investment of a sufficient amount of capital to develops the latent minora! wealth with which it is surrounded. ' -' " We would :tafco this occasion to mention that Mr. Montgomery is offering for sale a number of building lots. Occola, is the Xiame of a projected town soma fonr miles above Fhilipsburg, of which we may have sorae'.hiug to say hereafter. ... A PAKTHSR "A3" WASN'T A PASTUE-t.
