THE JOURNAL,
CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCII 17, 1858.
"We direct attention to the advertisement of
George Shnlize, who has opened a new Boot
and Shoe Shop on Main Street, opposite the
jail, Clearfield Borough.
Break Up. For some three or four rlav
past the weather has been very moderate here
ana nnaiiy, on yesterday, there was a general
Dressing up oi tne ice on the river and creek
-Kafting-in,"as the process of constrnctin-T
rafts is termed, will doubtless commence im-
- mediately, and if the water rises a little more,
and keeps up, in the course of a few days we
expect to see raits descending the river.
Lumber Trade. It appears that an enor
mous amount of lumber has been hauled out,
and prepared for market, during the past few
weeks; and, as the people in the lumber re-
fc.u UiC ouucmig ironi a ugntness in the mon
ey market, it is presumed that all the lumber on
i. in jmi tutu iiiarnei at almost any price..
We copy the above item from the Middle
town Journal, of the 11th inst. Whether de
signedly or otherwise, it is calculated to cre-
r to wrong impressions. The auantifv of Inm
ber hauled out. if the remarks in fhn w
paragraph arc intended to apply to this region,
is noi so -enormous" as to excite anv alarm
here. We have made inquiry into the matfpr.
and, as stated last week, we are well satisfied
that the quantity this season will not be quite
as large as usual. It is true enough that fi
nancial affairs are tight here just as they are
all over the country ; but still we do not ap
prehend that our lumbermen are so 'hard un"
that they will put their stock into market "at
aimosi any price," or at a sacrifice. If the
prospects arc not favorable, many of our deal
ers are in a situation to keep their lumber at
home for another year, or run it to Fort and
float it themselves. It is high timeJtwe think,
that our lumbermen adopt seme measures to
protect and control their business, and -the
sooner tney go at it, the better.
For the Journal.
Raiting time is at hand. The business of
raiting is a hard and laborious job. In order
to save some hard work, I venture some sug
gestions 10 t::e many raftsmen. I will men
tion the oars, as they are the main dependance
Now, to make a good oar, you want to study
the philosophy of it. It is the lever power
that makes it work the raft with case. I have
mot with some men who said the lever power
is or no use, and a good oar is way out in the
water ; but such men are not thckind that I
write to, and the -quicker they kill themselves
with their club oars, the better. Now, you
that want to save your bones, make good oars ;
uae mem with as much lever in your favor as
possible ; have broad blades, and light and
Miff stems. With a good oar made right, a
man can work a raft with ease and one-third
t.ie bone labor. With an oar that is longer
into the water than it is out, your strength op
crates as much to move thej-aft back as for
ward : like as if you get into a.tub and try to
lift yourself upjby the handles your feet push
down as much as your hands pull up. Or,
like a boy whom I saw once in my time. He
was in the bow of a skiff, and it started out
from shore. The stern was next to shore ; the
by gt the chain and pulled back like a fine
fellow, but the skiff went on out. He did not
know that his feet pushed as much out as his
hands pulled in. He was just such a philoso
pher as some of our oar-mikers. Some of
them arc under a grandjmistake by some means
cr other; but it is a sejf-cvident fact that the
oar with a leverage works more on the raft in
the direction you intend it, for if you are close
up to the oar pin your feet push back as much
as your hands push forward. A second tho't
will convince any man of the truthfulness of
this fact. I have experimented on this im
portant and stubborn fact. I like a middling
straight oar that is, the blade straight with
the stem it takes the tightest bold in the wa
ter. B. F. Carh.
Tii2 "Winter Abroad. The Winter appears
to have been very severe in all parts of Europe
Thepapers by the Europa furnish the follow
ing items :
"In Scotland, a man on his way to his wed
ding was lost in the deep snow, and when
found was frozen to death, within a mile of
the residence Whis bride. For the first time
in the present centur the river Po has been
frozen over at Ferrara, in Italy, for some time,
admitting the constant passage of man and
beast. The unusual severity of the Winter in
that part of Italy has caused great mortality.
Accounts from Asia Minor describe snow
storms, in one of which a Greek monastery
was buried, and the five monks had to be ex
cavated by the Turks. At Malta, the snow,
which had not fallen since the Russian cam
paign of 1812, was some feet high, and aefcom
panied with hail and tempests.
A letter dated Constantinople, February 3,
says : "Snow has fallen, until yesterday,
without any interruption for fifteen days.
There has not been a Winter of equal severity
for more than twenty years. The snow has
extended to Smyrna and the adjacent district
of Asia Minor, and even the Greek Islands
are clothed with whjte an appearance most
unusual and remarkable. The navigation with
Odessa is entirely clossd. The disasters in
the Black Sea, Sea of Marmora, and the neigh
borhood of the Dardanelles, have been numer
ous." The casualties have been chiefly among
native craft and Greek vessels ; but there have
also been a few losses of British ships. The
sufferings of the poor are very scuip ; their
habits and habitations are not prepared to re
sist so inclement a season. Many pf the poor
est dwellings have tumbled down from the
weight of snow on their roofs, for they are
little more substantial than castles of card
board, and very few are weather-tight."
The report that Gen. Cass is about resign
ing Lis position as Secretary of State, is con
tradicted from Washington.

lie was converted in his seventeenth year.
since which time he remained a firm and faith
ful member of the M. E. church. In his
death his friends have sustained an irrepara
ble bereavement. Not a murmur escaped his
lips during his illness. As a man he was en
gagingly amiable, ingenious, and agreeable.
As a christian, his piety was deep and uni
form. As a friend, he was warm, ardent and
confiding, and not less generous than constant.
In all these relations I knew him well, and can
therefore speak from the confidence of perso
nal knowledge, and accredited information.
His intimate fi-i.-nds, however, were few and
well selected, his disposition being exceeding-
y reserved. He was a student of Allegheny
College, and truly did be say, when asked what
should be said to his class-mates, in case he
met them no more, "Tell them I died a Meth
odist." Such I am sure he lived. The last
time I saw him in health was in April. Little
did I think at this interview that his ripened
virtues were so soon to receive the rewards of
the heavenly world ; but so it was, and , less
fit to die, am spared, perhaps another and an
other year. His dying testimony was too
clear to doubt for one moment his acceptance
with God. Well may it be said of him, "that
religion which he had so long professed, was
sufficient to sustain him in a dying hour." His
last words were "glory, glory." Or.

Bronchial affections. Couehs, Colds, Pleurisy. Broa
chitis, Asthma, and all other diseases of the tbroa
and lungs, except Consumption. 1ms 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,
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 cire.
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 37 J Cents per Bottle
