from the elbow to the hand inflicting a deep
scar the whole distance. It is really astouish
Dg that he escaped with so little injury.

CnoicE Fruit. Yesterday afternoon, our
esteemed friend, Urbane W. McNaul, of Pike
township, presented us with a box containing the
bigger portion of a bushel of apples of different va
rieties They are '-large, plump and juicy," and
as palatcablc as any we have recently had the
pleasure of testing, and convincing testimony that
i good fruit can be raised in Clearfield county as
in other parts of. the State. We invoke the spe
cial guardianship of the ''goddess of plenty" over
our friend s orchard, trusting that it may always
produce an abundance of superior apples, and that
that some of 'cm will roll, and roll, and roll,
right straight along into our sanctum.
Alleccd IIorsr Thief Caicrt. Yesterday
evening a man calling himself Charles Stevens was

Steuben County, New York, charged with steal
ing a horso and buggy, the property of Keeffcr
Brothers, of Corning, and after a hearing before
M. A. Frank. Esq .committed to prison. It seems
that, on last Thursday, Stevens came to the livery
stable of Keeffcr Bros, and pretended to hire the
horso and vehicle for a few hours to go to the
"Gang Mills." Not returning in proper season
suspicion was aroused and upon inquiry it was
ascertained the fellow had made off. Pursuit was
made, and Stevens traced to Coudersport, Potter
Co., Pa., where ho had sold the buggy and bor
rowed a saddle. From there he was traced thro'
Smcthport to Willianisville, in McKean county,

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
FOR THE CniE OF j
Bronchial affectious.Coughs. Colds, Plenrisy, Broa
chitis, Asthma, and nil other discast-s of the throa
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
tho recipe of a regular physician, who during a
practice of twenty-five years, 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 immcdiute 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 rrRE.
It would be easy to follow in the wake of the ven
ders of patent medicine, and multiply certificates
got up for the 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 afflicted with diseases for
which it is a remedy. Price 37i Cents per Bottle
