THE JOURNAL,
CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 2, 1837.
Wk aie requested to state that Kev. L. L.
Still will preach in the Lutheran church on
next Sabbath at thrre o'clock in the afternoon.
We have several contributions on hand,
which shall appear as soon as possible.
Thanksgiving Pat as observed by a por
tion of our citizens. Services were held in
the Presbyterian chnrch. Kev. Mr. Galloway
of that church, and Rev. Dr. McLeod, the E
piscopalean clergyman, delivered terse and ap
propriate discourses, which were listened to
with marked attention.
Ellis Askey wife versus Dr. M. Woods.
The trial of a cause ol considerable import
ance, before Alex. Irvin, Christopher Kratzer,
and Win. F. Irwin, arbitrators, attracted our
attention in the latter part of the past week,
and as the community at large seemed much
Interested in the event of the suit, we depart
from our usual course in reporting only the
proceedings of court, to notice this case.
This suit was brought for alleged malpractice
in the reduction of a dislocation of the left el
bow of Mrs. Askey. The evidence disclosed
the fact that the arm is now almost straight
and stifT, owing, as alleged by plaintiff, to want
of proper care and skill on the part of the sur
geon. The defendant contended that he had
used the proper means to bring the bones into
place, and left the patient in the situation re
commended by the best surgical authorities ;
that the rigidity of the joint was the result of
plaintiff not following his directions, and of
causes over which he had no control. The in
vestigation was a lengthy one, and much med
ical testimony was. produced during the trial.
The cause was warmly, and ably contested by
both parties on the part of the plaintiffs by
W. A. Wallace, Esq., and by L. J. Crans and
JT. B. McEnally, Esquires, for the defendant.
The award of the arbitrators was tn faror of
the defendant.
OUE HEW EDUCATIONAL WHEEL.
It has been deemed expedient to obtain a
column in one of our county papers, to be de
voted to the interests of education. This the
editor of the Raftsman's Journal has cheerful
ly tendered us. Thus a new, and as may be
justly considered, an important movement in
tho educational interests of Clearfield county,
has been initiated, and one, if properly carried
out, that augurs much good to this impoitant
cause. It is a movement in which every man,
woman, and child who has come to sufficient
years, ought to feel an interest. The educa
tion of the children, next to religion, is the
great and important subject of the day. Light
and knowledge are flying abroad, and intelli
gence is increasing, and Clearfield, county
must not, shall vl fall behind in the intelli
gence of her people, and the education of her
children. Abounding in physical resources,
in enterprise and energy, if the proper means
arc afforded them, we may expect golden re
sults. Although only a new county, and la--.
boring under great disadvantages in many re
spects, in some she yields the palm to none.
Already she has sent forth a Governor, a Uni
ted States Senator, and a judge to preside over
the courts in an eastern district of the State.
And wherein does she yield the palm to others
in business enterprise and tact, and in the na
tive endowments of her people. She has been
Behind many other counties in the State in
education, because she lacked the advantages;
but already she Las done a great work for the
future. Iu every new country much prepara
tory work must be done. This Clearfield coun
ty, in many parts, has been doing, and we may
anticipate the time, pot far distant, when she
will have public schools inferior to few, if any
others in the State.
Other counties have taken the lead of us in
the matter of an educational department in
the county papers, and in this way have done
much towards diffusing educational light and
Knowledge among their citizens. But where
in they have the advantage of us in time, let
them not have in the energy and efficiency
with which they carry it forward. Already we
have the assurance of the aid of a number of
valuable contributors, to render this depart
ment interesting and valuable. But a few arc
not enough for such a work. We cordially in
vite the aid and co-operation of all, whether
teachers, patrons, or friends of education, who
can wield the educational pen. Teachers es
pecially should aid in this important work.
Communications should be directed to the
Editor of the Raftsman's Journal, who will
give them proper attention, and under whose
inspection, as editor, they will pass. Articles
on the general subject of Education, on soma
branch, or on school management and the man
er of teaching different branches, will be ap
propriate. We call upon the ladies especially
to aid us by their contributions, in making
this column interesting and attractive. Let
them throw their charms and their attractions
nronnd it, and they will add new interest to
the great work of Education.

Slaxder. les, you pass it along, whether
you belitve it or net. You don't believe the
one-sided whisper against the- character of an
other, but yoa will use j'our influence to bear
up the false report and pass it on tne current.
Strange creatures arc mankind. How many
reputations have bled by whisper. How many
benevolent deeds have been chilled by the shrug
of a shoulder, llow many individuals have
been shunned by a gentle, mysterious hint.
How many chaste bosoms have been wrung
with grief at a single nod. How many graves
have been dug by false report. Yet you will
keep it above the water by the wag of your
tongue, when you might sink it forever. Des
troy the passion for tale-telling, we pray. Lisp
not a word that may injure the character of an
other. Be determined ' to listen to no story
that is repeated to the "great injury of another,
and, as far as you are concerned, the slandet
will die. But tell it once, and it may go as on
the wing of the wind, increasing with each
breath, till it ha3 circulated through the State,
and has brought to the grave one who might
have been a blessing to the world.

FOR THEOt'EE OF
Bronchial nffections.Coughs, Colds. Pleurisy. Rroa
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throa
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, butTs prepared from
the recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-live yers, used it with unpar
alleled success. It is a combination of expecto
rant remedies, simple in their character and used
by every educated physician. ' It is easily taken,
produces no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost immediate relief. In this ever
changing climate, where coughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this certain cire.
It would be easy to follow in the wake of the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up for tho occasion, of miraculous cures, but no
such adventitious aid is necessary in introducing
this preparation to the public. Its real value, and
never failing success, in accomplishing all promis
ed for it. cannot but give it a wide circulation, and
recommend it to all those afSicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Pace 37i Cents per Bottle

DAILY TELEGRAI'JI FOR THE SES
SION. PROPOSED EN LARGEMENT.
The Ihirrixburg Vatty Ttlrgrnph is now in the
second year of its existence. It started last fall
rather as' an experiment, and has succeeded bo-,
yond the most sanguine expectations of its publish
ers. It has gradually won its way to public favor,
until it has placed itself upon a firm and suro ba
sis, and is now one of the jicrmaneDt "institutions"
of tho Capitol. It shall be the efibrt of the pub
lishers to continue it in the spirit in which it has
been conducted, to add to its general and local in
terest, and to merit its steadily increasing patron
age ; and should its increased patronage ia sub
scription and advertising be commensurate with
their hopes arid expectations, it is their intention
to enlarge it about tho first of January neit, by
the addition of four mo re. column.. This will give
us additional room for our advertising patrons,
without intrenching upon tho space allotted to the
reading matter. During tho Legislative sessiou
it is the most desirable paper in the State. Tho
paper will bo strictly neutral tu politics.
During tho approaching session of tho Legisla
ture, it is our intention to make the "Dailv Tel
egraph" a correct nnd reliable exponent of the
doings of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. With
this view, a corps of competent Reporters will bo
employed in each House. The session will be one
of more than ordinary importance. The derange
ment of the currency, and the peculiar position of
the Banks, will require, or, at least, will excite
much legislation. Incorporated companies for
manufacturing, mining and other purposes, will
also require much legislation. It shall be our
province to present to the readers of the Telegraph
1'uILand impartial legislation upon theso and all
other subjects, wherein they may be interested.
' Business men throughout the State, who desire
a correct knowledge of tho doings of their repre
sentatives during the sessions of tho Legislature,
and there are many such, do not properly appre
ciate the Telegraph Through its columns they
can obtain this knowledge, and also receive tho
very latest ncw3 of the day, domestic and foreign,
by telegraph and mails; and will be a perfect
mirror of tho news throughout the world. Per
sons who desire correct information, and who once
take the Telegraph, would not do without it again.
Tho Local departmeut will be attended to as u
sual, and will give a faithful record of everything
of interest occurring in our immediate midst
The Telegraph will bo published every evening,
