New Stock. By referring to an advertise
ment in another part of this paper it will be
een that William Irvin has received and
opened a now stock of Summer Goods at the
"Corner Store" in Curwensville, which ho of
fers to the public on the most reasonable terms.
Robbebt. We tinderstand that a few nights
since a bag of coffee and some other articles
belonging to Reed & Weaver of this place,
were taken from a wagon at Post's tavern be
tween here and Philipsbnrg. We believe that
some articles were also taken from other wag
ons, but we have no particulars.
Revived. Frank Short has again taken
hold of tlx; Boot and Shoe Business in this
borough, as will be seen by an advertisement
in this day's Journal. He is receiving Irom
the East a superior qnality of stock, which will
eDsble him to furnish his customers with the
best kind of "understandings" at the lowest
prices.
Sometiiisc New. By referring to an adver
tisement in another column of our paper, it
will be seen that Wm. L. Moore and David F.
Etzweiler have entered into partnership in the
morchandizing business, and that they have
4i large assortment of Seasonable Goods, which
tlioy will dispose of on the most reasonable
terms to suit the times.
Tuk Weatiier, Sec. During tho last half
-dozen days copious showers have fallen in this
county, imparling much vigor to the growing
crops. It is feared that the weevil, which has
in ado its appearance in some ' of the wheat,
will do much injury to that crop. It is very
common, however, for persons to indnlgo in
fears on the appearance of this destructive in
ject, and it is to be hoped that in this instance
their apprehensions will prove unfounded.
IIose Bcrned. On Monday of last week,
a house at Bald Hill Mills, in Girard township,
this coUDty, belonging to James Irwin, and oc
-enpied by William Carr, was destroyed by fire,
with all its contents. The fire, it is thought,
originated in some clothes which had been ac
cidentally thrown against the stove-pipe.
Mrs. Carr had, as she supposed, extinguished
the fire in them, but about one o'clock in the
night the family were ' awakened by the roof
Jailing in. and it was with difficulty that they
escaped with their lives. Everything, even
their clothing, we are told, was burned.
SnoccED bt LicuTxisa. On last Thursday,
a conplo of large oak trees, standing in front
of Mr. Joseph Jordan's house in Lawrence
township, wero struck by lightning. Mr. Jor
dan, two of his sons, and a little daughter oi
Mrs. Rheem, of this borough, were on the
1-orch of tho honso at tho time. The little
girl and the two boys were prostrated, and sev
eral minutes elapsed before they recovered
from the eflects of the electric shock. Mr.
Jordan was sitting on a chair, and ho remark
ed, somewhat Ilibcrnically, when relating it to
in, "it was some time before he knew whether
Jie was killed or not." He, however, soon
found that he had sustained no injury ; on the
other hand ho finds that ono of his knees,
which was much swollen from rheumatic a Sec
tion's reduced to nearly its usual dimensions.

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives an account of
a merchant or that city, who went cast to set
tle his accounts, and received his balance in
gold, some $15,000, which he put into his
trunk. On his way home, he took Washing,
ton in his route, and put np at a hotel, leaving
his trunk in bis room. Here he fell in with a
capital good lot of fellows, got on a "spree"
wLich lasted a fortnight, and when he came to
sober off, found that his trunk and gold were
missing. Returning home a sadder and a wi
ser man, lie put up at a hotel in Cincinnati,
and was presented with a bill from the Express
company for charges on an old trunk for $18,
which ho at first refused to pay, but on exam
ining tho trunk, ho found not only his ward,

The Atlantic Cabik. On the 10th of June,
the international fleet, bearing the cable that
is to unite European and American continents,
sailed from Plymouth, England, and ere this,
unless some accident has happened, they have
parted in mid-ocean, and, white the Agamem
non is carrying one end to the coast of Ireland,
the Niagara is carrying the other to tho coast
ot Newfoundland. Another week may bring
each vessel to her destined haven, and solve
the problem of the practicability of a tele
graph across the Atlantic. The failure of
last year has greatly diminished the public in
terest in this grandest experiment of the age ;
but the confidence of scientific men in its ul
timate success is not diminished, and there is
at this moment a deep and absorbing anxiety
in thousands of great minds on both sides of
the ocean, as to the ultimate issue of the un
dertaking. Appearances favor its complete
success. The laying out machinery on the
steamers has been much improved, and it is
believed that the plan of starting from mid
ocean is better than that of carrying the whole
line across from one side. . The weather also
has thus far been favorable, according to the
report of tho Persia, and the experience of
the unfortunate attempt of last summer, has
added much to the knowledge of the engineers
having chaige of the word.
A Supperless Wedding Partt. At a large
wedding party at New Orleans, a short time
ago, the guests were cheated out of their sup

entered the dining room by a back window,
gathered the edges of the table-cloth together,
and folding it into a bundle, made off with ev
erything that was upon the table, including tho
family plate valued at some hundreds of dol
lars. When supper was announced the table
was there and nix besides.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO C HEWERS.
Dr.Gustav Linnnrd's Taste Restorative Troches,
the Great Substitute for Tobacco. It is a well
known and incontrovertable fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as cureful an-
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it eontaiBseertain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
.nervous irritability, water Brash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of cases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed bv great indulgence, complete
ly removing the 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 Stom
ach, invigorate the whole systom.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should uso these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobacco
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put np 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
all orders should bo addressed.
