THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, TA., OCT. 7, 1857.
Cvaa P. O. Our subscribers at Cush post
office, in answer to their Inquiry, are hereby
informed that we have issued the Journal reg
ularly, and that it has been mailed at Clearfield
office every Wednesday evening. Where the
fault Iks as to their not receiving our paper
we are unable to say. Perhaps some oneof
the Post-masters may be able to impart the re
quired information. We would be much o
tliged for any information respecting the last
three unlabels of tho Journal mailed to our
Cush fiiends. Wo shall make it our business
to ferret out where the fault lies, and take
prompt steps to have the guilty parties proper
ly attended to.
False Report. Ou the announcement of
the suspension of all the Banks in Pennsylva
nia, a report was spread thro' the vicinity, that
the lion. W. L. Moore's Coal Bank, of this bor
ough, had suspended operations. This, we
liave been credibly informed, m not the fad, as
tho "Bank" still continues to "issue," and
that all "checks" for shining miueral will be
j.i.xr.j tlv fiTk'il as heretofore. As this "bank"
was opened under the "individual liability"
law, and the "deposit" is abundant, the pub
lic need not apprehend its failure. It is one
f the permanent institutions f our borough.
Attempt to Break Jail. On Sunday night
the fellow that is confined in jail charged with
horse stealing, attempted to make his escape.
The noise he made attracted the Sheriffs at
icuiiiu about 10 o'clock, when it was found
I hat he had divested himself of hobbles and
Irons, had torn off some planks, and commenc
ed digging a hole through the wall. Some
lum- -Ocr, the Sheriff was awakened ly a
thumping noise-, and going to the cell found he
was trying to draw the steeple out of the IKor.
The Sheriff then d"2.ied it necessary to lasteu
his hands on his back with cuffs.
On Saturday evening, September 19, an un
known person attempted to ride away a mare,
belonging to Mr. Joseph Jordan, of Lawrence
township, which was taken from a pasture
field. After riding about a mile at full speed,
the fellow saw a neighbor of Mr. Jordan's ap
proaching him whom ho evidently recogniz
ed when he jumped ofl'and took to his heels.
The mare was returned to Mr. Jordan, who put
her into another field. The next morning
when he sent for her she was dead.
Fell into a Spring. On last Saturday a
two years old child of Mr. Isaac Thompson,
of Lawrence township, accidently fell into a
spring and when taken out was nearly insensi
ble, but fortunately was resuscitated.
Rcs-off. On last Sunday evening as Hen
ry Jlurd, Ej., of Chest township, was coming
to this place, his horse ran off, a short distance
above town, threw the Squire into a mud hole,
and broke the shafts of the bnggy.'

. A Fixaxcial Crisis is said to exist in Ger
many A letter from Vienna, dated Sept. 7,
asys: "Last week several failures occurred
here, as well as at Prague and Pesth. The
Kiokt important of these is a hardware cstab
ishment, with liabilities amounting to several
hundred thousand guilders, and having exten
sive connections' abroad. There never was a
time not excepting the years 1847 and 1843
when the failures were so numerous as now ;
very day one or more suspensions are announ
ced. The worst is, an early improvement
cannot be expected. The Bank of Credit
has limited its transactions, and refuses all
applications for new loans, Riving as the
reason, that ifr is not in a condition to expand
lis business." Jf some of our financiers were

tmt facts calling for contraction, that it was
necessary for the bank to expand its business,

A St Idea. The Sloar Case. A new
idea with regard to the Chinese Sngar Cane,
of which we bear so much now-a-days, fa sug
gested by tho Montgomery (Ala.) Mail. It
is, that the cane will degenerate into broom
rsrn about the third year of its culture. It is
a matter of importance to the planters every
where, many of whom have considerable quan
tities growing and some of whom have pur
chased machinery for grinding their crops,
that this question should be determined. It
would be well if every person who has a field
of the can a would examine it and see if a por
tion of !t Is not In all respects like broom corn
and entirely without the sacbarine juice. Tbe
Mail knows this to be the casa in at least two
tMa, and hears that it is the case In others.

IIoW TIIET ARE OFF IN THE WEST. One of
our Illinois exchanges, descanting on tbe fi
nancial derangement which evrcrywhero pre
vails, thus consoles itseifandits readers:
"What debts we may be owing to the East,
we have the produce now in our granaries to
pay. We have not speculated . in stocks, or
other fancy securities, but our expenditures
have been made in purchasing, enclosing, and
breaking the richest soil, with which Heaven
ever blessed the agricnltarist. These kinds
of investments have something to fall back
upon. The stocks they produce (corn stalks)
are paying stocks, which good, strong fences
protect from depredations of all "Bulls and
Bears."
Xot so Bad off as we See. In the infla
tion of prices produced by the abuse of cred
it in 1837, the prices ot food ran up to an enor
mous height, in some cases exceeding the
high prices of the present year. Flour was
$12 per barrel, and other articles In the same
exorbitant proportion. So . completely had
industry been deserted from labor to specu
lation, that we were actually obliged to import
grain from Europe, a fact unexampled in our
history before or since. Now, however, the
case is different. Bountiful crops have every
where blessed lal or with a rich reward, and,
instead of having to import grain, we have
plenty of it to export.
Slightly Personal. The editor of the
Louisville Democrat lately said, Wo live
neighbors to tbe Free States, and we see some
of their people every day, and they look and
talk pretty much as we do.". To which Pren
tice, of the Journal, adds. "Well, really, if
the people of the Free States look pretty much
as you do, we cannct wonder that a large por
tion of the South is in favour of dissolving
all connection with such an ugly race. We
don't know but we shall have to'go dissolu
tion ourselves.''
