CLEARFIELD, PA., OCT. 27, 1858. .
A FIXE CHANCE!
The approaching XoremherOourt will afford
good opportunity to persons in different parts
('f the county to transact business in this place.
Those "'ho are not culled here themselves, can
doubtless get their neighbors to attend to little
matters that should not be put off. We bare
been for tho last year very lenient with our
patrons ; but, as we are in need ol money, we
fscl ourselves compelled to call upou those in
arrears to give us some "material aid and com
fort" at this time. We trust, therefore, that
they will respond to our request liberally du
ring the November Courts.
The Sitrra Citizen, printed at Downleville,
California, under date of September 18th, con
tains the following paragraph :
'Accident On Thursday last, Mr. Hender
son, loriuerly or Pennsylvania, while at work
on the Middle Fork ol the Yuba, was caught
In the windlass of a water-wheel derrick, and
lad his leg brokcn,and was otherwise injured."
The person named alove is Mr. II. L. Hen
derson, who left Clearfield some mouths ago,
ud is well known to many of our citizens.
W are sorry to hear of the accident that has
I fallen him.
Ntw Firm a.nd New Goods. Mr. C. Krat
aer and Sons have entered into partnership in
the Mercantile Business in this place, and
fcave received a large and varied stock of
Seasonable Goods, which they offer to the pub
lic at the lowest cash prices, as will be aeen
ly an advertisement in another column ot this
paper, to which we direct special attention.
Seasonable Goods. IVm. F. Irwin has re
ceived and opened his usual variety of Fall &
Winter Goods, at his store hi Clearfield, to
which ho invites the attention of purchasers.
His btoc'n. was selected with a special view to
the wants ol this community, and will be sold
at prices to suit the times. His advertise

A Bkab Treed nr a Horse. Bears aro more
numerous this season than for several vears iu
the central counties of the State, and adven
tures with thvni are quite common. Mr. D.
Cross, f Fairfield, who recently visited Eaton
.tounty, related to us an atl.iir which occurred
.Jour miles east of Eaton liapids, which pre
sents an example of maternal care by a mare
for her eoit that is rarely exhibited by the
taorke kind, if it was not a hair breath adven
ture. A mare with a colt by her aide, was
feuding in a pasture, when she was approached
by three bears an old oue and two cubs near
Jy full growu. Alarmed for I ho safety of her
-;olt the mare forgot the usual fear of the horse
for these ajiiaiala, and attacked them with such
vigor that they were forced to retreat. They
were pursued so closely that one of them was
compelled to seek safety, and remain in a tree
tintil the owner of the mare, who had watched
the whole proceeding, went to his House for
.a yua. returned and shot it. Adi lan, (Af.c.'ii

A correspondent of the Springfield Repub
lican sys that a natural d mgliter of Aaron
Burr, and his residuary legatee, comes curi
vnsly into possession of quite a fortune, in
this way : Burr held a lease from Trinity
church of the Richmond Hill property, three
r lour hundred lots in the centre of New
York, for Co years. lie released the laud for
f,3 years to Astur and others, and Iheir lease
spires in 1S00. The lease for three years
then belongs to Burr's daughter, and the claim
is indisputable, and the value of the lease very
yrant. Already neveral of the lessees have
compromised the claim for from $1500 to
$-'-"j0 per lot.
Thfi Hon. J. Clancy Jones, the best-whipped
wan in 'he country, has accepted the appoint
ment of Minister to Austria, which the pres
ident ol!ored him in such hot haste after the
news from Pennsylvania reached tho White
House. The Union of the 21st rcr.iatks that
th appointment was "eminently fit to be
made." We are glad to know what the Ad
ministration deems official fitness. What ma
jority against a Lecompton Democrat would
entitle him to the Ministry to England ? What
to the Ministry to France 1 Let us have the
official scale, Mr. Buchanan. Let us have it
before lh November elections.
A Narrow Escape. Mr. Paul Grabhit pos
sesses a philosophical turn ol mind which ena
bles hint to extract consolation from the most
depressing circumstances. Upon rending the
election returns from Pennsylvania we hard
ly need inform our readers that he is ono of
the stiffest-backed democrats in this region of
stiff-backed democracy ho exclaimed, 'Ju
das, didn't our folks narrowly escape a severe
.drubbing in the old Keystone state," and then
lie added, saying as a sort of mental reserva
tion, "Aos who stayed away from tht yells, I

Some idea of tho cost of the Utah expedi
tion may be gained from this fact : Corn at
Fort Laramie to feed the cavalry horses costs
tlx dollars a bushel.
The ague rages so in some parts of Iowa
that the people are obliged to sleep with corn
cobs in their mouths to keep thew from shak
ing their teeth out.
