. CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 28, 1858.
Committed. On .last Saturday, Thomas Ze
litzski, a Folander, a resident, we believe, of
St; Marys, Elk connty, was brought to our
town by constable Hyatt of that county,
charged with having robbed the store of Mr.
Christopher Kratzer of this borough on the
night of the 3d July. Zelitzski had been en
gaged at shoe making for several weeks prior
to the time the burglary was committed, but
quit work the day previous, and it was sup
posed bad left town. A couple individuals, as
'our readers will doubtless remember, were ar
rested at that time on suspicion, but no evi
dence of guilt was found. Matters then re
mained quiet until last week, when it was as
certained that Zelitzski had been unusually
Hush and liberal with money at a celebration
'on the 5th at St. Marys, and alter inquiries as
to the kind of money, &c, a warrant for bis
-arrest was issued, he was apprehended, bro't bo
fore M A. Frank, Esq., and after a hearing,
committed to jail to await his trial at the ap
proaching term of our Quarter Sessions. We
understand that he had given his wife a para
sol, and tli.it he had in his possession a breast
pin, both of which were taken from the store
on the night of the robbery, and which were
easily identified.
. Democ&atic Primary Election. The De
mocracy of Clearfield county will hold their
primary election on the 14th of August. As
i usual in. that party, there is a full suppl; of

material- to select from. The following are
the names already announced :

and Dr. T. J. Boyer, of Brady.
District Attorney Kobert J. Wallaco, Is
rael Test, and John L. Cuttle.

Accipest.: On last Monday, a number of
little boys of our town were playing with gun
powder, and whilst one was pouring it out of
the horn upon the ground, another set firo to
it and caused an explosion. Ira Boynton, son
of Jonathan Boynton, bad his face and one
Land frightfully burned, and Willie Crans,
on of L. J. Crans, Esq., had the. right side of
hi face severely scorched. Several other ladj
escaped with a mero scorching of clothes.
This accident should serve in future as a war
ning not to let children have free use of such
a dangerous article as powder.
Snakes. Mr. Wm. Albert informs lis that
the workmen on the new road frotn here to
Sinnamahoning, from the 21st June to 21st
July killed, within five miles of town, Iwenty
fonr rattlesnakes. Shouldn't wonder if that
place would be dubbed "Rattlesnake Hollow."

FALSE CALCULATIONS.
We note that Mr. Secretary Cobb has been
iMjrcd by his commercial advisers, whoever
tticy may be. that the Imports of the Fall season
just beiorc us must be very heavy, and that he
may safely calculate on large receipts from
Customs during the later months of this year.
Mr. Cobb, wc trust, has been too often the dupe
tf fond illusions to pin his faith on the tileeve
of these prophesiers of smooth things. We
eee no reason for expecting largo importations
during any part of this year ; and we are quite
mire that, if such shall bo made, they will
prove disastious to the importers, and proba
bly to the exporters as well. The naked truth
is that the country is in no condition to buy
liberally of foreign fabrics, and if they shall
nevertheless be bought, they must remain, to
a great extent, unpaid for. The floods and
pouring rains of the Spring months have over
sowed and devastated hundreds of thousands
of our most fertile acres, rendering it morally
certain that they can yield no crop this year.
The Wheat, especially of the South-West and
'Mid-West, is likely to suffer severely from
.rust. Of Indian Corn, the area planted is con
siderably less than usual, and much of that
planted has rotted in the ground or is likely to
be caught by early frosts. Then the necessity
ot sending abroad a large portion of our Grain
crop in quest of a market is sure to keep the
range ot prices very low. The average price
f Grain realized by its producers have not
for the last eight months been one half those
of the year previous, and we see little prospect
of decided improvement. Of course, the
Silks and Laces, the Robes and Mantillas, that
-could be afforded and were liberally purchased
-when Corn on the Upper Mississippi was worth
tllty cents per bushel and Wheat a dollar and
a quarter, are out of the question when Corn
ells there for twenty cents and Wheat for fifty.
If our Importers and their foreign correspon
dents would only look an inch beyond their
noses, they would be in favor of such a Tariff
as would set our wheels running and cover the
land with laborers, opening mines, buildipg
mills and dams, &c, &c, and thus creajo a
Home Market for onr surplus food, increase
its price on the Ohio and Mississippi, and en
able our farmers and laborers to buy wares and
.fabrics they must now go without. X, Y.Trib.

INDIAN BOTANIC REMEDIES !
In treatment of diseases of the Lungs and Chest.
Liver, Stomach, Bowels, Heart, Nerves, Skin, Scrof
ula, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, or any and all disea
ses arising from impure blood, Female Weakness
and Female diseases of all kinds ; also all forms of
Chronic or long standing diseases, have given
Dr. Jackson a World-ivide teputation.
REGULAR VISITS!
' Dr. Jackson will make regular visits to a large
number of the principal Towns in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and New York. Patients can thus have the
privilege of consulting regularly, once in from one
to three months a matter iu very many cases in
dispensible in performing a cure. It is difficult
for any Physician to prescribe a course of medi
cine by only once seeing the patient, to affect a
permanent and lasting cure.
INVALIDS SHOULD MARK WELL THE TIME!
And call as early as possible. The time is limi
ted and the appointments will bo punctually kept
as above. If sick with any Chronic diseases, do
not delay, as time only tends to confirm and ren
der a cure more protracted and difficult.
Dr. Jackson will make examinations of the
Lungs and Chest, by the use of the Stethoscope,
Free of Ctargt.
Dr. Jackson, although paying special attention
to Lung, Throat, Heart and FemMe diseases, also
invites to consultations in all Chronic diseases in
cident to the human system. Seeing many thou
sand cases every year, he is well prepared to give
an opinion as to the carability of any case.

GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CUEWERS.
Dr. Gustav Linuard's Taste Restorative. Troches,
the Great Sulrtitute for Tobacco. It is a well
known and incontrovertible 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 careful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containscertain 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 by 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 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
all orders should he addressed. -
