THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, TA., SEPT. 1, 1858.
See advertisement of "Black-smith wanted"
also Election Proclamation.
A Fall. On last Saturday afternoon, a lit
tle son of II. II. Morrow, of the Clearfield
House, fell down the steps into the cellar,
Manning him, and bruising him considerably.
Fire ! Mr. Patrick Mulvaney having leased
the bank of Judge Moore, is prepared to sup
ply otir citizens with coal at reduced rates.
We direct attention to his advertisement in
another column of this paper.
i Accipest. On Monday, Mr. John Guelich,
tf this borough, was engaged in the woods at
cutting a log, the end of which was lying on
Hie stump, when the log broke off suddenly,
and falling across it, he struck his side on a
knot with such force that several of his ribs
Verc broken.
Tub "Weather. During the last eight or
ten days we have had nnusually cool weather,
the atmosphere feeling more like that of No
vember than of August. "Jack Frost" has
lccn loitering about the buckwheat and corn
lields, and we understand that in some places
lie has dono considerable injury to those crops,
especially to the buckwheat.
Keoclate tour Time. By referring to our
advertising columns it will be seen that MY.
II. F. Xaugle, recently from dilislc, has com
menced the Clock and Watch-making business
In this place. He comes well recommended
as a good workman, and we have no doubt
that he will render entire satisfaction to all
who rnav favor hiin with their custom.
Is the Penitentiary. Sheriff" Heed and
Constable Denmark in the latter part of the
past week conveyed Thomas Zelitzski, who
was convicted of robbing Kratzer's store, to
"the Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City.
Warden, who was sent there some moiiths ago
for horse-stealing, is said to be a good shoe
maker, and Ullman, another Representative
from this county, we understand, has been
promoted to the position of instructor of cord
wainers. A Xew Foick.' We publish the following
-epistle, verbatim et literatim, as a sample of
some of the literary curiosities which editors
frequently receive :

We presume the interesting event alluded to
in the "pome" was enough to elate the author
and prompt him to give vent to his ecstatic
"pheelinks" in a poetic strain, and as he ap
pears anxious to have it in print, we give it a
place inonr columns, especially as ho promi
hcs to send "som more."

Opening of the English State Pater Of
jtok. Hitherto the history of the American
colonies has been lacking in some vital parts,
owing to the restrictions placed upon access to
r use of the records preserved in the State
Paper Office in London. The policy of the
"English government has undergone a change.
It is now considered that nothing can be lost
by an exposure of the secrets which np to a
Tecent date have been so rigidly guarded ; and
nt the present moment it is not more difficult
to obtain access to any of the records of the
State Paper Ofhco during the period of the
cononial history of the United States, than to
.the books of a well-regulated library. For
two or three years Sir John Homily has been
occupied in having them duly calendered and
indexed. The records of the office will add
much valuable matter to the history of the
original thirteen States, and to rone more
than that of New Vork. A correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer sends that paper some
locuments which show the records arc likely
also to throw side lights upon the history of
many men of the era.
The fact is, perhaps, not generally known,
that when in Oliver Cromwell's time, the Wal
xlenses were so cruelly persecuted by the
Church of Rome, he called for collections to
relieve their necessities in all the churches of
the Puritans and Covenanters in Great Britain.
So heartily was this responded to, that a con
siderable surplus was left after their wants
were supplied, which remained in the British
Treasury; and this fact coming to the knowl
edge of" the Government, it was agreed that
the funds should be set apart for the support
of the Vaudois pastors. Accordingly, each of
them, sixteen in number, receives annually
JC40 from the Bank of England. The source
of another Tact of their support is even more
singular. When Napoleon conquered Italy
lie confiscated certain properties belonging to
the church of Rome and made them over to
the Yaudois. By the treaty of Vienna, after
Napoleon's overthrow, this arrangement was
"permitted to leruain undisturbed, and in con
sequence of it, each of the Vaudois pastors re
ceives 20 sterling a year. Taking into view
the simplicity of their manners, and the cir
cumstances of the country, the 60, or $300
thus provided for them, atFord an ample sup
port. It is certainly a remarkable fact in his
tory, to find Cromwell and Bonaparte united
in prfiducing such a result Banner of the
ftuzs.
