THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. SO, 18-1
Temperance M eetino. According to ad
journment, the AYashingtonian Temperance
Society will meet on Friday evening, the 1st
of January, at early candle lighting, in the
Court House. Several addresses will be de
livered, and the audience entertained by Tem
perance songs. Ladies and gentlemen are
kindly invited to attend.
Dec. 23. G. Tninpr Gcelicii, Tres't.
Broke Jail. Henry F. Cook, confined in
our county jail on a charge of forgery, &c,
and Charles Stevens, charged with stealing a
horse and buggy from Kceffor Brothers, Cor
ning, X. y., made their escape on last Thurs
day evening. It would seem that they had
false keys, opened the doors, passed into the
jail yard, locked the outer door, and then
scaled the yard wall. Two men, answering
their description, were seen on the road to
I'hilipsburg the same night.
Accident. We regret to learn that, on Sun
day evening last, 27th Dec., Miss Christina
Shaw, daughter of Archibald Shaw, Sr., of
Goshen township, had her collar-bone broken,
and received some injuries about her bead, by
being thrown from a sled at Goshen school
house, where she was attending church. Sur
gical aid was called into requisition. The in
Jury was a serious one, but, we believe, hopes
of a speedy recovery are entertained.
Sxow. Last Saturday several inches of
snow fell here, and although not sufficient to
make good sleighing, yet our streets were
toon enlivened by the jingle of bells and the
appearance of a number of cutters. On Mon
day, the weather moderated and the snow
melted considerably. Yesterday (Tuesday)
forenoon it snowed rapidly, with a tendency,
however, all day, to melt.
Fixe Arn.ES. On last Saturday, our worthy
iriend Peter Gearhart, of Boggs township,
presented ns with a half bushel of large and
excellent apples, such as are well calculated
to make ones "teeth water" to look at. We
thank Mr. G. for his acceptable present, and
hope he may every year have an abundance ol
the "same sort."
Scarlet Fkvek has been prevailing among
the children in our borough for some weeks
past, and quite a number of deaths have oc
curred. We notice several more this week.
It seems to be a difficult matter to treat this
fever successfully.
Xlw Jimcial District. We understand
that steps are being taken to form a new J udi
cial District, to be composed of the counties
ol Clearfield, Jeflerson, Elk and Forest. That
would make a good big district.
A Big I'orcee. We are told that John Ir
win, Sr., ot Lawrence township, this county,
killed a hog on Monday last, which weighed
dressed 513 pounds.
.Newspaper Patboxage says a cotempora
rv is a curious thing in the estimation of some
people. A man lives near you never took
your paper it is too small don't like the ed
itor dou't like the politics too whiggish
too old fogyish or too something else yet
goes regularly to his neighbor and reads it by
a good fire finds fault with its contents dis
putes with its positions, and quarrels with its
type occasionally sees an article he likes
caves half a dime, and begs a number. This is
newspaper patronage with a vengeance.
Methodism. The Methodist Church Xorth
lias a membership, it appears from its minutes,
just publihed, of 20,219; being an increase
of 20,11)2 over last year. Its travelling preach
ers number 5,134 ; its local preachers 7,109 ;
its .churches 8,33o ; and thej value of its
churches and parsonages is estimated at $18,
00,000. Its contributions formissions, tracts,
bibles and Sunday-school publications reach
5311,315. The Church South has a member
ship of 5.jO,S90.
Shipment of Irish Girls. The BritishGov
ernment is shipping Irish girls to the Cape of
Good Hope, as a means of preventing its colo
nists from relapsing into barbarism. A party
of 350 has already sailed, and another com
pany of 250 is soon to be forwarded all des
cribed as healthy and good looking. They go
with the understanding that , matrimony is to
reward their expatriation.
Weather Wisdom is a matter in which pro
phets are sometimes grievously mistaken. If,
however, the vaticinations of the Penobscot
Indians on this subject should prove correct,
wc will have a poor winter. They say "the
beaver build urn house high and thin," and
therefore predict an "open" winter. This is
Lad news for sleighers.
To Cure Hoarseness. Take the whites of
two eggs and beat them with two spoonsful of
sugar; grate in a little nutmeg; then add a
pint of lukewarm water. Stir well, and drink
often. Repeat the prescription, if necessary,
nnl it will rure the most obstinate case of
hoarseness in a short time. It won't cost
much to tct.t this prescription, at any rate.
Archbisuop High es delivered a lecture in
Xew Yo-k recently, in which he took "strong
i.round.s against the public school system."
This is hardly christian-like in the Archbishop.
To be sure, the public school system has taken
-strong grounds" against him; but then re
taliation is not the law of the Gospel.
What is Mas ? A young lady answers : "A
thing to waltz with, a thing to flirt with, to
take one to places of amusement, to laugh at,
to be married to, to pay one's bills, to keep
one comfortably." Xot far from the truth.
The Congressional printing amounts to the
enormous sum of $2H)0.000 annually. What

not the best judges of the article. Ex-Governor
Johnston thought different.

A Tow.v A3 is a Towx. Brady, of the
Jejf'ersouiun blasts of Brookville as ciono of
the fastest places to be- found in the western
part of tho State having its own peculiar"!
ties and customs, and its citizens admitted to
he the most hospitable and kind hearted peo
ple lo be found in any neighborhood. With
out exhibiting any o! those aristocratic airs
which so olten create divisions in society and
jealousies among neighbors, our citizens treat
each other with that courtesy due their res
pective stations, and live together in compar
ative peace and happiness. The men arc gen
erally careless about dress, while the women
pay great attention to the fashions and pile on
the extras to the fullest extent. We can raise
a prayer meeting, a cotillion party, or a game
of uchrc, in half an hour, so that strangers
can select their own choice of spending an
evening. H e have last young men, and a
few old hard-shells, and we would like to know
a place of the same size that could go ahead
of Brookville in anything.'-"
Brady knows he does, that's sure.
A Model Teacher. The Pottstown Ledger
tells a tough story of a teacher in one of the
public schools in a neighboring district, who
is in tho habit of employing his time at the
nocn recesses by holding "raffling matches"
with his scholars, by means of which ingeni
ous operation he disposes of books, portc
monaics, pencils, &c, with profit to himself
and at the expense of the loose change of his
pupils. This is rather a novelty in the way of
teachin?. and deserves tho attention of the
School Directors.
Old Boots. The Charleston(Massaehusctts)
.ldccrtiser says, a whale of the humpbacked
species was driven ashore at Xahant.a few days
since, and upon being cut open, a pair of boots
nvuked "J," in a state of preservation, were
found in its entrails. It is supposed that the
boots, as they were marked -J," belonged to
Jonah, and were taken off and left behind by
accident when he made his e.vit from the big
fish, of which every body has heard.
A Warm Place. Elder Knapp, the celebra
ted revivalist, in a recent sermon, assured his
hearers, that hell was so much hotter than any
thing they could conceive of in this world,
that if one who had been inured to its flames,
should be suddenly transmitted into a furnace
glowing with the hottest Lehighhe'd freeze
lo death in fire minutes ! Wonder how the El
der kuows f m
singular disease, resembling consump
tion, has attacked the deer of Georgia, and
they are found dead in great numbsrs.

'Hero kept in perfect peace, our darling boy
Xow lives a cherub in the realms of joy;
And though his spirit lingered, loath to part
1'roni the waste form which held so pure a heart,
And when twas watted through the expanse ol air,
Took with it all that made that torm so fair.
No mystery see we here, but now can traco
hat was it gave such sweetness to that lace.
'Twas tiod's own spirit that resided there.
The hallowed soul that made the child so fair.
That habitant is gone and now we see,
Nothinz alas', but frail mortality :
Tho same loved form, but no expression given,
The patient spirit's flown away to heaven."

township, 0f lung fever, Sarah Ellen, daugh

years, one month, and 3 days.
Fmoothe the hair and close the eyelids,
Let the window curtains fall ;
With a smilo upon her features,
She has answered to the call.
Parents, children, kiss her gently,
As she lies upon the bed ;
God hath called her to his bosom,
And the littlo one is dead. D.

DULY TELEC.RAPII FOR Til E SES
SION. PROPOSED EX L A R G E MENT.
The II irrislnir Dmli Telegraph is now in the
second year of its existence. It started last fall
rather as an experiment, and has succeeded be
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 sure ba
sis, and is now one of tho permanent '-institutions'
of the Capitol. It shall be the effort 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 it? steadily increasing patron
age ; and should its increased patronage in sub
scription and advertising be commensurate with
their hopes and expectations, it is their intention
to enlarge it about the first of January next, by
the addition oi four mure columns. This will give
us additional room for our advertising patrons,
without intrenching upon the space allotted to the
reading matter. During the Legislative session
it is the most desirable paper in the State. Tho
paper will be strictly ventral in politics.
During the approaching session of the Legisla
ture, it is our intention to make the ' D vilv Ti'.L
E'.R.vru'' a correct aud reliable exponent of the
doings of the Legislature of Pennsylvania. With
this view, a corps of competent Reporters will be
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 totiie readers of the Telegraph
fall and impartial legislation upon these and all
other subjects, wherein they may be interested.
Business men throughout the State, who desire
a correct knowledge of the doings of their repre
sentatives during the sessions of the Legislature,
and there are many such, do not properly appre
ciate the Ttlegraph Through its columns they
can obtain this knowledge, and also receive tho
very latest news of the day, domestic and foreign,
by telegraph and mails; and will be a perfect
mirror of tho news throughout the wor,'!- 1 er"
sons who desire correct information, an'l who once
take the TeJesraph. would not do without It again.
The Local department will be attended to u.
sual, and will give afaithful record of everything
Of interest occurring in our immediate midst.
The T.lo-ranh will be published every evening,
