    THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. 8, 1858.,
RtttorAL. Robert J. Wallace, Esq., has re
moved his Law office from the east end of the
County Buildings to Shaw's new Row, oppo
site the Journal office.
Octraqeocs. On Saturday night some vi
cious scoundrels tore the limbs off a beautiful
Siberian crap- apple tree in the lot of Thomas
Mills, in this borough, and also injured his
grape vines. Such conduct is reprehensible
in the extreme, and the perpetrators are de
serving of the severest punishment.
Mobk Candidates. By referring to our ad
vertising columns, it will be seen that James
Irwin, Sr., offers himself as an independent
candidate lor Sheriff, and Michael A. Frank,
Esq.. as an independent candidate for the As
sembly. W'm. A. Nichols, Esq., of McKcan
county, will also b supported as a candidate
for the Legislature. This district elects two
members to the Legislature.
Dead. We learn that young Andrews, who
vras slabbed at I'hillipsburg on the 30th Aug
ust, by Porter, died on last Saturday night a
bout 11 o'clock. We believe the facts of the
case arc as we stated last week. Porter is a
man somewhat advanced in years, and, we un
derstand, of intemperate habits. Andrews,
with others, undertook to put him in an out
house, when Porter stabbed him in the abdo
men with a pen-knife. Porter was taken to
the Bellefonte jail to await a trial.
Quack Doctors. It seems to us as if peo
ple liked to be humbugged. Almost every
trolling impostcr that comes along finds plen
ty of persons wfco are willing to be fleeced by
him. It is lamentably true that people, when
sick, arc ever ready to avail themselves of the
advice' of travelling humbugs. In a great ma
ny towns quackery is much more profitable
than legitimate, honest practice and well ed
ucated, skillful and regular bred physicians are
almost starved, while a travelling quack doc
tor, who knows nothing about medicine, pock
ets lots of cash, and goes away laughing in bis
lecve to think what a vast number of fools
are in the world. We have seen men, who
would sneer at a worthy physician, launch out
ten or twenty dollars casn in advance, to a
humbug specialist who was utterly ignorant of
the laws which govern the human system, and
unacquainted with the first principles of mcd
icine. And yet there is no such great wonder
in this, after all, when we consider how chary
regular physicians arc about touching prinlcr'M
ink. A system of liberal advertising would be
an effectual preventive of quackery.
School Exuibition. We recently had tho
pleasure of attending a School Exhibition at
Philipsburg, and if this manifestation of men
-tal culture, is any criterion by which to judge
of the enterprise and intelligence of a com
mnnity, wo must certainly conclude that the
peoplo of that village and vicinity are not be
hind their neighbors in the march of progress
'Tho' a great majority of the largo audience
there gathered wero strangers to us, we are
ftot strangers to tho blessings and benefits of
-the common school. Having been a recipient
'of its favors, we aro now, with thousands of
others scattered through this land, a guardian
Of Ifct interests, a defender of its rights, and
an admirer of its votaries. The exhibition
was held in tho new M. E. Church, which was
completely jammed with spectators, among
whom the Ladies, gay, smiling and attractive
wero thickly, and beautifully seated. The
building was decorated with wreaths, flower
rases, banners, &c, among the latter of which
was one bearing the motto noiv daily illustrat
cd, "Knowledge is Power." The stage, ele
vated about four feet, was richly carpeted and
enrrounded by brilliant curtains representing
The Seasons, ornamented by appropriate devi
ces and festooned by evergreen ; while the
' "Aincricon Flag," broad and unruffled, spread
dignity, and decision around each of the ju
venile train, as he came forward in succession
lo make his first bow to the public. The ex
crcises consisted of Essays, Declamations, lie
citations, &c, which were all, for the age and
' experience- of the pupil, very creditably deliv
ered, and showed clearly that with practice
' and care, many of those Misses will compose
with case and elegaace.and those Masters need
"only age and application to place them
with the able writers and eloquent speakers of
" which our country is the home, and our free
schools the nursery. Indeed, seldom have we
''witnessed a more interesting scene, or passed
a more agreeable evening, and the whole aff.itr
'reflected infinite credit on Mr. Clarkson, tho
. gentlemanly teacher of this school. Though
youthful in appoarance, he is emphatically an
"jJmerican Schoolmaster not clad in terror or
-armed with the huge cudgel that fornieriy dis
tinguished the profession, but a niDdern model
whoso amicability of temper, thorough schol
arship, and complete self command, awakens
in the scholar an ambition to obey, and con
strains him by kindness to turn with affection
to his instructor, whom he at all times regards
as a benefactor. Long may snch teachers fill
"our public schools, that our children may be
properly instructed, and our community reap
the rich reward of their patience, industry and
wisdom.

twenty years.

Oldest Gbist Mill in Pennsylvania, i
How few of the many persons who take an
afternoon drive along Church Lane, now call
ed Mill street, know the history of the quaint
old stone mill situated iu a romantic spot, about
a mile from the main street, partial! v surround
ed with rocks and large trees, and alongside
of a sparkling stream. This primitive struc
ture, still used by Spencer Roberts as a grist
mill, was erected as early lis 1GS3, by Richard
Townserd, a Friend, who brought most of its
materials from England. Some years after
wards, in his printed address to Friends, be
speaks of this and its difficulties. He states
that his was the only mill for grain in the sur
rounding country, and that it was of great ser
vice to the inhabitants fcr miles around. Far
mers who wished their grist ground brought
it there on their baccs, save one man, who bad
a tame bull to perform the labor.
On account of his seclusion, being in the
woods, he had great difficulty in obtaining
fiesh meat, and was occasionally weeks with
out any. On one occasion while he was mow
ing m his meadow, a young deer came very
near to him, seeming to wonder at his labor:
it would follow him while he worked, but when
he stopped or approached it, it would skip
away. On one occasion, however, an accident
made him stumble and so scared the deer that
rushed suddenly aside against a sapling.
which stnnncd him so much that he fell and
was captured alive, and soon after killed to the
great relief of the family. Reader, if yon pass
by the old grist mill again, think of the hard
ships of our fathers and the suflerings which
they went through. Germaulown Telegraph.
Colonel Snowbrook Is to Iks appointed
United States Marshal of Illinois. This will

GREAT DISCOVERY OF TIIE AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CUEWERS.
Dr. Giutav Unnnrd's Taste Restorative Troches,
the Great Substitute for Tobacco. It is aAwell
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 tho race of man is subject, as cureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it containsccrtain narcotic nnd poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effocts,
which by entering into the blood derango the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
"TOBACCO affects also she eutire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever nsed 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 sensstion 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 system.
Persona 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 be addressed.
