Fatal Mistake. Mr. Robert R. "Welsh, of
this borough, yesterday evening, immediately
after dark, in mistake drank a quantity of
Cyanide of Potassium, from the effects of
which he died in a very few minutes, lie was
a silversmith by trade, and used the article in
lii3 business. Inadvertently he left a small
quantity of the acid in a tumbler. In the eve
ning he went into his shop to get a drink, and
happening to pour the water into this tumb
ler, drank the fatal acid before he was aware
of it. lie ran for his house close alongside
the shop, but fell when he reached the porch.
lie hurriedly told his wife that he had drank
poison, and that she should get him an emetic
Physicians were straightway called, who used
the stomach-pump and other means to save
his life, but to no purpose. He leaves a wife
r.nd three small children. How true that "in
tho midst of life we are in death !"
"A Voice from Beseisger." Some weeks
since we copied an item to tho effect that
Packer received the entire vote of the town
ship of Benzinger, Elk county, and that there
was not a Protestant bible or school in it.
This, it seems, aroused the ire of one George
Walmsly, who holds forth in a plaintive strain
in the last Clearfield Republican. George says
the item isn't correct that he will "wager
that there are more than several protestant bi
bles in the district, and announces that he is
a Baptist. We are really glad to learn of so
many protestant bibles being in that benighted
"Molly Maguire" district ; but from the betting
propensity displayed by George, we should
judge they were scarce in his neighborhood,
and that tho "hard-shell" persuasion had ob
tained foothold there. George also hints that
we are ignorant. That we think is unkind of
"Yorick." Such a brilliant and erudite ge
nius as ho would have us believe him to be,
should make some allowanco for a poor chap
like ourself. though we incline to the belief
that ho took this method of letting the world
know that Ae was on hand, ready to pitch in
rn Khoit notice. But. seriously sneaking, if
Mr. Walmsly is a church member, and wanted
tn rnrrect a mistake, ho should do it in a
christian spirit, and not in a tone of acerbity.
Cood Advice. Col. Tate, of tho Columbia
Democrat, recently took a jaunt to Ohio and
through WestcrnPennsylvania. In his"Xotes
of Tour," he refers to Clearfield County in the
following terms :
Riturnin from tho west, we next visited
the home of our nativity, in Clearfield county
Twenty yeais ago, we left Clearheld and mi
rrated to Columbia.- Only twice since had we
o
visited that spot we love to call our home
Great, indeed, during that time, have been the
changes in tho appearance of its general as
pect.. Then.it was a new county compara
tively, unimproved. Now, it is mostly settled
and thickly improved. Our farmers in that
section, in our judgment, have fallen into a
grand error. They have too much neglected
their Farming interest for the Lumbering bus
iness. The latter business is fluctuating in its
nature, sometimes lumber depreciates in val
ue, and sometimes they fail in getting it to
market, alter the incessant labors of a long
winter and the consumption of most of their
produce, with very heavy Store Bills to pay,
then, in the absence of their usuai crops, they
are left poor indeed. This mistaken policy,
without the products of the Farm to lean
upon, has largely tended to impoverish the
county of Clearfield. We trust its citizens
hereafter will do better. As Agriculture is
the most honorable calling of the age, it should
be the first object and primary business of ev
cry citizen."

themselves to resist to the last all attempts to
thrust it upon them, repudiating the election

rather as an experiment, ana nas succccueu oe-
vond the most suncuinc expectations of its publish
era. It has gradually won its way to public favor,
until it has placed itself npon a firm and sure ba

of the CaDitoI. It shall be the cnortol tne puo-
lishcrs 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-
a : auu sliouia lia mcreaocu patronage iu suu-
scriution and advertising be commensurate with
their hopes ana expectations, n is ineir lnicniion
to enlarge it about tho first of January next, by
the addition of four more columns. This will give
us additional room ior our auvcrusing piroiit,
without intrenching upon the space allotted to the

ment of the currency, ana the peculiar position of

also require much legislation. It shall be our
