County Meeting.
All those opposed to the present Nation
al Administration, and "who are in favor
wf tho sovereignty of the people over their
own concerns, of opposition to foreign influ
ence, and protection to American Indus
try," are requested to meet ot the Cocet
IIoi se, in the borough of Clearfield, on Wed
nesday Evesixo, the 20d of Junk, for the pur
pose of electing conferees, to meet the con
ferees of the other counties in the District, to

S. B. ROW,
Chairman Am. Republican Co. Ex. Com.
A Cocxcil as is a Council. During the last
six months we have been called upon to do a
little advertising lor the Bcrough, tor which
we, as a matter of course, expected to get
paid, and accordingly a couple weeks since we
made out our bill, which we here append for
the inspection of the public, namely :
Borough of Clearfield,
To S. B. Row, Dr.
Dec. 10, 1857 Fnbl. notice for charter, $1,00
Feb. 17, 1858 " statement of finan
ces, 5 squares 2t, 3,75
ilcli. 21, 185S . " ordinance relative
to dogs, i sq. 2t, 3,C0
Total, , $7,75
The charges are mado in strict accordance
with our terms at the time of publication, and
we took it for granted that the bill would be
promptly paid. Any one can, therefore, im
agine our surprise when we called a few days
ince and found that the "city fathers" had
"laid the bill on the table." ,
Tho conduct of the council or rather the
controlling portion of it is strange. "We are
At a loss to understand them. Our bill is an
honest one, and the advertising was done "by
authority." Whether, as on a former occa
sion, the political opinions of the majority
lor three out of the five are Locofuoos led
them to think that we should not be paid for
what we do or whether, "infused, with, self
and vain conceit," they merely wished to
make a display of their "little brief authori
ty," does not fully appear. If they were ac
tuated by motives of economy, they had bet
ter commence retrenchment and reform in an
other quarter.
We have no desire to indulge in harsh lan
guage against those who refused to pay us our
Iues; but wc wish to lay the facts Ixifore the
public to show how contemptible men can
jnake themselves with a little effort.
Robhert. On last Thursday night, Hon.
Renj. Rush Bradford, whilst remaining over
night at Moore's Hotel, in Lutliersburg, this
county, was robbed of a wallet containing
$215.00 in money and some valuable papers.
It was the same night on which the circus per
formed there. Mr. B. was awakened by a rap
at his room door, upon opening which the
7erson who rapped excused himself by saying
lie had made a mistake. Afterwards Mr. B.
-nid his wife, who accompanied him, wjre a
vvakened by one of the windows, which had
been left open, closing with a crash. It is
supposed the fellow entered the room through
the window, and as he went out caused it to
fall. The gold watch of Mrs. B. was lying on
a table, but was left untouched. No clue to
tho. money or robber has yet been discovered.
Later. After the above was in type, we
learned that the robbery wasn't a robbery after
nil, and that Mr. Bradford has recovered his
noncy and papers, though from the circum
stances mentioned he could be easily led to
believe that his wallet had been taken from his
room. It now appears that he dropped it out
f doors in the evening; that a portion of the
.money fell out of the wallet ; that the pocket
- book was found by one man and the balance of
the money by another, both of whom were
connected with the circus; that the next day
they called at a hotel in Brookville lor a de
tector to examine some money ; that the hotel
keeper, to whom one of the bills was shown,
identified it as belonging to Mr. B. ; and the
latter, being in that town, was sent for and re
covered his lost property, suitably rewarding
the finders.
A "Mrss." On last Wednesday evening a
"free fight" was raised at Lumber City, in
which several of the citizens of that region
and soma of the hands connected with Mabie
& Crosby's circus took an active part. Stones,
clubs, chairs, steel knuckles and "fislises"
were handled freely, and a general knocking
around and bruising of heads took place. It
is said to have been "big pig, little pig, root
hog or die," with all who took part in the fun,
but as the showmen were the most expert at
rooting, they came out "big pig." We do not
know who was at fault in raising the fight, tho'
it is quite easy to tell who was f it. Tho
next day warrants were issued for the arrest of
the showmen, but we are not aware that any
of them were apprehended.
EvAMSfl the Law. Yesterday Mr. Frcd'k
Smell was arrested and bronght before Judge
Moore, on a charge of slandering a wo
man. After a hearing, Frederick was inform
ed that be would have to go to jail, or give
bail in the sum of $200 for his appearance at
the next court ; whereupon he asked leave of
absence to hunt some one who would go his
bail. Instead, however, of doing this, Fred
erick, it is hinted, indulged in a few potations,
and then took his bed and pretended to bo
sick, groaning and tossing around in an agoni
zing manner, and when the sheriff called upon
him he found him going through theso inter
esting manoeuvres. During the courso of the
afternoon, the sheriff called a second .time,
and requested Frederick to accompany him
which he declined and became "obstreper
ous," when the sheriff called in assistance and
look him to "limbo."
Prof. Bonafon, nn experienced teacher of

Lady Taming. The great success of Rarpy

New Wat to kill Rats. A writer in the
Rochester Union proposes a new method for
killing rats. His own house being overrun
with the vermin, the servant girl, who had seen
the effects of "Old Bourbon Whiskty" on bi
peds, thought she would try an experiment on
tne rats. Accordingly she took a small quan
tity, and made it very sweet with sugar,
crumbling in bread enough for the crowd, and
set the dish in the cellar. A few hours after
she went down and found several rats glorious
ly "fuddled," engaged in throwing beanpods
and hauling one another tip to drink.' These
were easily disposed of; those not killed left
the premises immediately, suffering with a se
vere headache. The writer adds that the me
dicine is quite agreeable to take.

A Whole Village Destroyed. The Chi
cago Press, of the 2d, has the following par
ticulars of the sad tragedy attending the des
truction of the villiage of Ellison by a whirl
wind : Fourteen persons were killed almost
instantly, and ten more are supposed to be
mortally wounded. Of these latter, two died
-next day, three on Monday evening, making
nineteen in all. Ellison is a village in a town
ship of that name, lying due south of the line
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
road. The tornado struck the village about
half-past five o'clock, and during its continu
ance no rain fell. The houses were frame
structures. There was a largo tavern stand
and three stores, those of Samuel Johnson,
Joseph Knowles and another. The appearance
of the dwellings and structures after the pas
sage of the whirlwind is described by one eye
witness "as if one should, tear to pieces and
scatter a lumber-yard." Of roofs and walls,
and the various structures, there was seen,
in many instances, scarcely a trace, as if a
giant's hand had reduced and torn them to
shreds and splinters. They lay scattered
over tho fields. Here a piece of broken fur
niture, and there a shattered door, and be
yond an undistinguishable mass of timber and
boards, floor beams, ceiling and rafters. Even
the bodies of some of the sufferers were torn
to pieces.
A Report is curreDt in Illinois that Senator
Douglas will be a candidate this Fall for the
House, probably in place of CoL Harris, whose
health though improved, is still very precari
ous. Mr. Douglas possibly remembers that
Henry Clay, after having been twice sent for
fragments of terms to the Senate, was elected
to the House, and, on the first day of bis mem
bership of that body was chosen its Speaker.
The next House will be absolutely obliged to
recast the Revenue policy of the Government,
and to do something towards the much need
ed Retrenchment of Expenditures, whereof
so much has been said and so little effected.
The Senate is so constituted that an able,
energetic, capable statesman, who aspires to
be not negatively but positively useful to the
country, must . naturally prefer a seat in the
House. These considerations give plausibili
ty to the report respecting Mr. Douglas which
reaches us from Illinois. Should lie be a can
didate for the House from Col. Harris's or
any other Democratic District, the opposition
to him is not likely to be formidable, whether
the postmasters shall be finally instructed to
support or oppose him.
The MokmonRebellion Over. The Pres
ident has communicated to Congress the grat
ifying intelligence that tho Mormon rebellion
is over. Gov. Cumming has been recognized
as the Governor of Utah. Brigham Young
has surrendered his authority, and the Mor
mons were leaving Salt Lake City peacefully,
going towards the South probably to Sonora,
or some other State in Mexico. It is not at
all likely that there will be anything for the
troops to do, except to exercise a sort of po
lice supervision over the territory, and to
punish refractory Indian tribes. The Utah
war seems to be over, without any more blood
shed than there has been iu the recent naval
war with Great Britain in the Gulf of Mexico.
Well, there is so much saved to the Treasury,
and so much kept out of the rapacious and ca
pacious pockets of army contractors. The
country will rejoice at the pacific termination
of what appeared likely to be a serious con
test. The Mormons, it is now hoped, will
leave the Territory of tho United States, nev
er to return.
New Orleans, June 0. Tho city has re
sumed a general appearance of quietness
the only movements calling for special remarks,
being a continued arrest of members ol the
late Vigilance Committee on warrants issued
by the authorities. Since my last despatch
there have been over a dozen arrested, and
mora are expected bclore the close of the day.
Maj. J. K. Duncan, one ol the getters up of
the independent movement, and an energetic
supporter of the Vigilants, has been sued, and
tho cotton bales used for street bariicades
have been attached for damages done- to the
Court buildings, while occupied by the Vigi
lants. Tho Recorder, Soloman however,
has been refused authority to act in the case,
on the ground that his feelings are in support
of the Vigilants.
A Male Nix. For the last forty years, iu
the quiet old tumble-down city of Versailles,
inhabited by decayed Legitimist families, a
lady dressed in the garb of a semi-monastic
style, was known to pursue the even tenor of
her way, received into the local circles of ar
istocracy, and iu receipt from a noble family
of six thousand francs annuity, as ex-Abbess
of a suppressed Monastery. At her death,
recently, she turned out to be a man. The
real Abbess must have died in emigration, and
a swindler of the rougher sex, getting her
papers, has personated her for near half a cen
tury. Tho name of tho deceased androgyne
was Countess de Solegc do Lange. The mat
ter makes no noise ; people only shrug up
their shoulders.
Irox Bridge over the Nile. A great tu
bular iron bridge is now being constructed at
Newcastle, England, and will be completed in
about two years, for the Egyptian Railroad,
which crosses the Nile abont midway between
Cairo and Alexandria. The river there is I,-
100 feet wide and a steam ferry boat is now
employed to do the business. It docs not suit
the go-ahead spirit of tho Fasha. He was
once detained for four hours in crossing by an
accident to the boat, and be then gave Rob
ert Stephenson ordei s to build the bridge.
A Death Blow. On motion of Senator
Wilson, of Mass., the item in the appropria
tion bill providing for tho Government adver
tising in three papers in the city of Washing
ton, was struck out. Each paper received
from this source about thirty thousand dollars
per annum. Cutting off this revenue will
probably bo the deathrblpw ot quo or. ruor.c pf
them.
100,000 DOLLARS , -
Clear gain to Clearfield county, per annum, by"
manufacturing their pine timber, into Shingles, on
Huey'g Celebrated Patent Shingle Macaut.which
makes a beautiful shingle out of comparatively
inferior timber, that would not make split shin
gles at all. The mode of operation is : It saws
and planes the shingle smooth on both sides at one
operation, and will turn out ten finished shingles
every minute while it is kept rnnning at its speed,
which would be six thousand per day of ten hours,
if kept running all the time ; but allowing one
half of the time for greasing and other necessary
arrangements, it will make. 3,000 per day, which
is a very safe calculation. All the hands nccessa
to run it is two ; a man to attend to the sawing and
a boy the planing. We will hero insert a few
words from the Lancaster Daily Express :
''It received the first premium at the York and
Lancaster county fairs, where the practical opera
tion of this machino produced the following pro
fitable result : from one cord of select pine slabs
procured at a saw-mill, costing ten dollars, it man.
ufactured in less than one day two thousand shin
Sles, sold for Sixteex Dollars per thousand."
It combines all the advantages of Woodworth's
and Noreross' Planing Machines; besides which
it possesses ono great advantage which no other
Planing Machine ever invented does that is, it
will plane a straight, beveled or tapering piece of
timber, wherein its great value lies. Although
we might fill sheets with its praises from eastern
papers, wo will only insert a small extract from
the Lancaster Inlaiul Daily Times:
"It was invented for the purpose of making
shingles, staves, heading and lath, and for sawing
and plancing straight or beveled work, flooring,
wcatherboarding, Ac Its use during the last six
months has proved it to possess a full capacity for
manufacturing all the various articles above men
tioned " The same paper says : "The flour bar
rels made from the staves prepared by this ma
chine, are as smoothly finished as the best quali
ty of Cedar ware." For further information ad

GREAT DISCOVERY OF TIIE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS.
Dr. GHStav Linnard's Taste Restorative Troches,
the Great Substitute for Tobacco. It is a well
known and incontrovcrtable fact that the nse of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, ascureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containscertain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their eHbots,
which by entering into tbe blood derange tho
functions and operations of the Heart. causing ma- -ny
to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
"TOBACCO affects also fe entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all- ho have ever used tho.
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. Tho
'Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of eases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon tbe entire sys
tern, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing tho irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco. and by giving a healthy tone to the Stem,
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up In a con
venient and . portable form at the low price of 50
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
aU orders should be addressed. , .. .-
