THE JOUBML.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 10, 1858.
tTSunday next, 14th inst., Rev. Dr. Mc
Lr.od will supply the Pulpit of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Clearfield, morning and
evening, Rer. Mr. Barnliart being absent.
Fist Cocsti. We see published in the In
diana papers the proceedings of a meeting of
the friends of Pine county, held at the Cherry
Tree on the 20th ult., at which John Mahaffey
presided. A compromise, by which the boun
daries were enlarged so as to take in Edmund
Williams in Ferguson township, this county,
and thence to the mouth cf Witmcr's run on
Clearfield creek, and thence fc the north-east
corner of Chest Tp. in Cambria county, was
greecl upon. A report was also adopted, set
ting forth the inconveniences the people of
that region suffer, and the advantages to be
gained by the formation of a new county. It
does seem unjust that a portion of the citizens
of our county should be compelled to travel
nearly forty miles to reach the county scat.
The counties, from which it is proposed to de
tach Pine, embrace a very large scope of ter
ritory, and doubtless a rapid development of
all their resources is retarded by the inconve
niences to which a portion of their population
I subjected. Petitions are now before the
Legislature urging the formation of Pine coun
ty, and efforts arc being made to have a bill
passed this winter. The friends of the new
county, if they wish to succeed, will have to
more actively and harmoniously.
Ttboxs & Clearfield Railroad. At a
meeting of the Managers of this road, held at
i'hillipsburg on last Friday, George W. Letif
Jer, Esq.,. was elected Chief Engineer. Mr.
L. is a man of much practical; experience at
engineering, having been in the employ of the
Pa. Ccutral company, afterwards was engaged
.in Tennessee, and more recently, we believe,
upon the Ft. Wayno and. Chicago road, "Ho
is, perhaps, one of the best locating engineers
in the United States, and his experience will
doubtless aid in expediting the completion of
our road. He is to go over and examine the
work already perforated on -the route, and re
port at the next meeting of the Board. We
understand that arrangements are contempla
ted being made with the Central Company for
furnishing the iron that will be required for
the track.
Til eke is no telling what a party, like a day,
may bring forth. Somebody has by , these
lines pocti-c RASs-onied from oblivion the par
ty btld at Weaver's on last Friday night :
Winter still lingers. Wright MrnniLLy resounds
The tinkling 3lci.5h-bell.and Robixs gladsome voice
Fall not upon the ear. Beauty surrounds
The feitive board, and all rejoice.
NoW all ArEibity is banished one RreDS
J n smiling faces, pleasure. Harder MooitB
Than .Stum innbt be Hearts wiCKcd the deeds
Of those who shoot the lips and cry: oh, Shaw !
AVuat sos deroli of aorllow could refuse
To join the throng when Hills repeat
What gladdens Forests solitude ; or choose
To Locke their hearts 'gainst joy ? Their feet
"Will sos and daughter move what sings the muse
To join as Weavers shuttle fleet.
Skatixc. For some days the ice on the
Susquehanna at this place has been in excel
lent skating order, and good use is being made
.f it. puito a number of persons may be seen
-daily exercising themselves in various ways,
ome dashing along rapidly, others circling a
round, and not a few performing the extraor
dinary feat of measuring their length on the
aurfuco of the ice (ire did thai so well on Mon
day that the most unbounded applause burst
forth from all present.) Undoubtedly, how-
ever, skating is tine amusement and good ex
ercise, and we wonder that our ladies do not
indulge in it. In the New England States,
it is very common to see ladies skating.
Tue Limber Business. By this time the
.! l.nlk fit the timber has been hauled to
the river banks, and preparations will now be
made for rafting-in and running the same as
aoon as the river opens and there is a freshet.
t4io nnantitv of timber will not be quite as
-- 1 .
large as last spring, should it all be run to
market. It may, however, happen that, Hthe
mirirKt U dull and mcnev scarce, a portion of
It will remain at home. This would cut the
atock down considerably. But if the pros
poets are favorable, it will all be run.
Thosu who wish to secure a truthful like
neas on glass, (i. e. an ambrotype,) would do
wpll to call at romance's Photographic uai
lery, on 2d st., as . ho is now supplied with
good chomicals, &c. His terms are cheap and
Accommodating; he never charges unless the
picture is satisfactory. Remember the place:
2d St., next door to Merrcll & Carter's Iron
and Tin-ware establishment.
a Km! r,t rwrsonal rroerty will take place
at Dr. A. T. Schryver's on the 19th inst., as
will bo seen by an advertisement.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD' CHERRY.
VOR TIIECLRK OF
Bronchial affections,Coughs, Colds, Pleurisy, Bron
cbitis. 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 used
by every educated physician. It is easily taken,
produoas no nausea or other disagreeable effects,
and gives almost hnmediute relief. In this ever
changing climate, where eoughs and colds so fre
quently end in consumption and death, no family
should be without this certain ci re.
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 37J Cent per Bottle.
