THE 'JOURNAL
T. CLEARFIELD, PA., TEB. 3, 1858."
- GnocxD-IIoa Day. Yesterday was the no
ted ."ground-bog day," on which, it ia said
by those who are versed in the peculiar sci
ence, if his lrce-soil porfcship comes forth
from bis burrow and the sun shines so that,
perchance, he should get a glimpse cf his
shadow, he will retire again and refuse to show
his swinish phiz for six wbjle weeks, during
which time the weather is to continue very
cold and, we suppose, mild, if he can't see
bis shadow. We don't how it was elsewhere,
but Old Sol persistently refused to send a sin
gle ray into this "neck cf woods," and so. we
expect the ground-hog tribe will be out fre
quently, and bring us the best kind of weather.
Scsqcehasxa Hotel. D. Johnston, former
ly of tho Philipsbnrg Hotel, has taken the a
bove named house, situate at the east end of
Curwensville, and is now prepared to receive
and accommodate customers. The house is
entirely new, is large and commodions, end
has welf finished and neatly furnished apart
ments, all calculated to impart a degree of
comfort that is quite refreshing. 11 r. John
ston is well known to many as a good landlord,
and will doubtless keep one of the best hotels
In the country.
Atlas-tic Monthly. The February No.'of
this magazine has come to hand. The period
ical is ably conducted, and the number before
ts contains a number of valuable and instruc
tive articles. ' Wo read with much interest a
Review of the Kan. sis Usurpation." The
price of the Monthly is 3 for a singlo copy
per annum. Ve will, however, furnish one
copy of the Monthly and one of the Journal a
"year for $3,50, 'payable in advance.
; 2ew Arrangement. By referring to an ad
vertisement iu another column it will he seen
that Arch. Montgomery and E. A. Hippie have
entered into copartnership in the mercantile
business,' in the town of Curwensville, and
that they have just received a stock of new
end seasonable goods, which they oiler at low
prices for cash.
. Saow. On Monday night and yesterday,
several inches of snow fell in this region. It
will require more to make good sledding, the
roads being very rough when it commenced
snowing. As it is, some timber hauling will
be doue, but it will be rather limited unless
we should get some additional snow;
John Leonard, was tried last week In the
.Outre County court, at Bcllefohte, on charges
f dealing in, and passing counterfeit money.
We understand that there were three indict
ments, and that he wai convicted and sen
tenced to 2 J years imprisonment on each one,
making 7J years in the aggregate.
... Col. Bexto.s. Col. Benton appears oil tho
avebue in Washington, every afternoon, be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock. He sits as erect upon
his beautiful jet black horse as ho did twenty
years ago. His literary labors seem to have
invircated him physically and mentally. He
continues to work , industriously, as he says,
localise idleness is so tiresome. The remarka
ble powers of his memory are not impaired by
his great age. The impetuosity of his charac
ter fctiil liir?ts forth when a subject interesting
to him is introduced. The blight eye, com
pressed lip, and clenched hand raised, remind
cne of OM Bullion of the Senate, and cause
regret that he is not there now to influence its
action, as of old, with his inflexible will and
clear judgement. His "Thirty Years"' View
and Abridged Debates of Congress, have be
come the handbooks of the old and new mem
bers, and the review of the Dred Scott decis
ion is studied as of more weight and impor
tance than the pinion of the Court itself.
The vigorous old statesman is natur!Iy very
jiroud of his literary success.
Fna should le cultivated as a Cne art, for it
Is, together a fine thing. Who ever knew a
fanny man to be a bad one ? On the contrary,
ia not he, nine times in ten, generous, humane,
and good. To be sure he is. Fun it is a
great thing. It smooths the rough place of
iife, makes the diposition sweet and rosv,
scatters sunshine and flowers wherever we go,
gives the world a round jolly countenance,
makes all the girls pretty, and mankind one of
xhe besi families out. We go in for fun.
Good, bit Icr. A correspondent of the
Vicksbnrg Sr.n. writing from Bolivr county,
tells of a chap at Napoleon, Ark., who was
drinking at a counter, and withal being toler
ably tight, after several ineflcctuel attempts to
raise the glass to his lips, succeeded in get
ting it high enough to pour the contents into
his shirt collar, set the glass down with the
exclamation, "that's good, but a little too
c:uch ice, 5Ir. Barkeeper."
A Venerable Clergyman. Parson Green,
.f Hempstead. L. I., is the most venerable
clergyman in the United States, being now
r.ineiy-nine year3 old. When in his seven
teenth year he was a soldier in the revolution
ary army, was engaged in many of the impor
tant skirmishes of the war, and A-as one of the
hollow square of soldiers inside of which the
Declaration of Independence was read on the
4th of July, 177G.

A Souther IlErrBLic. Many persons can
not understand why it is that certain leading
Southern statesmen express so lively a sym
patic roc General Walker, in his efforts to con
quer Central America. A?f explanation is giv
en in a recent number of tho New York Kvt-mn-
rosl. According to that journal, the ob
ject of the movement is "to found an inde
perulent government in Central America, that
shall form a nucleus for a Southern Republic
under the aegis of which tho Gulf States may
find refuge when they are ready to unfurl the
banner of disunion."

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY,
run tueccre or
Bronchial nffections. Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Broa
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throa
and lungs, except Consumption. This invaluable
remedy Is no quack nostrum, but is prepared from
the 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 usod
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 cvuk.
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 Dottle.

rilflE NEW-YORK STEAM SAW-MILL
JL AND MACHINE COMPANY. CAPITAL
S2M).O0O This company has been organized with
the abovo capital for the purpose of supplying the
demand for the Co Munition PORTABLE
STEAM SAW-MILL, and other Improved ,V
cJiinery. They have purchased the enrire machine
ry business heretofore carried on by J. 31. Emery
son A C?., also the Montgomery works at Yockera,
on tho Undson. near this city, and with the expe
rience and facilities combined in its organization
arc prepared to fuixish machinery of all kinds at
more liberal rates, than has ever been offered a
any other establishment.
THE COMBINATION SAW-MILL, was patented,
October, 1S50, and is r.ow generally acknowledged
to be the cheapest, most practical, and efficient
lumber manufacturing machine in the world. A
large number of them are in successful operation
in different sections of this country, Canada, Cuba,
and South America, and wherever thir merits
have been tested they aro being adopted by lumber
manufacturers in preference to all other mills.
The following letter expresses the general opins '
ion of those who are using the Combination Mill :
Messrs. Emessos A Co Gentlemen : I have tried,
the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that
it performs well, and zaoro than ineeia my expec
tations. I am well pleased with its performance.
I set it up on a small stream that afforded constant
water about as thick ns my little finger, which was
much more than sufficient to supply the boiler.
We aro able to cut 3,000 feet of beautiful lumber in
12 hours, with something less than one cord of
wood. It is the very thing we have needed in our
county for a long time. With a little trouble and
expense, wc are able to move it from five to ten
miles per day, and set it np in the heart of the
timber, which saves the great burden of hauling
the logs a long distance to the mill.
Yours, respectfully, Jessr Kma, Jr.,
Louisville. Tecncssee.
The Company have .purchased Lnnd's Patent

cribed in the 'Scientific American' for October 24,
