CLEARFIELD; PA., NOV. 10, 1858.
TtMrzRA.vcE Meeting. The Washingtonian
Temperance Society will hold its quarterly
meeting on Monday the loth day of Novem
ber, at early candle-light, in the Court House.
Several addresses may be expected on the oc
casion. The public is kindly invited to at
tend. G. FuiLirr Gceucu, frost.
Lost is tdb Woods. Last Friday, at noon,
party, consisting of George Smcall and two
of his sons, Joseph Bailey, Calvin Bailey, Geo.
Bool and Bcnj. Hartshorn, Jr., or Pike town
ship, started out to hunt chestnuts, on the old
Indiana road, between Xcepcr's and the Gram
pian Hills road that leads to Punxsutawney.
Mr. Hartshorn was left to take care or the
dragon and horses, and put up a shelter, whilst
the others took to the woods. The party did
JOt, however, return to the placeof rendez
vous agreed-upon, that evening. Xext morn
Sog Mr. II. tired his gun several times as a sig
nal for the party, but hearing no response, he
concluded they had lost themselves. With
this impression on his mind, he hastened to
Curwensville and induced a number of persons
1 that place and vicinity to go in search of
his companions. No trace ot them was, how
ever, discovered until Sunday, about the mid
din of the da', when they were found. They
had lost their way in the dense forest, and ns
the sun had been obscured by clouds both days,
they had no guide by which to determine the
'proper course to pursue, and accordingly kept
wandering around without being ablo to extri
cate themselves from their unpleasant situa
tion. Having had nothing to cat for two days
-and nights, and exposed to the inclemency oi
tho weather, (it having rained the greater part
of the time,) when found they were in a bun
.gry and sufl'oring condition.
Why is it T that the road between Curwens-
Ule and Clearfield is in such a miserable con
dition. There is a large amount of travel
constantly going on from the one place to the
other, high tolls are charged, the road is well
located, aad yet chuck-holes and ruts have
been left unrepaired all summer, and now that
the wet weather is setting in, the road will be
come almost impassable. We don't know
where the fault lies, but it is certainly somc
where, and we trust steps will be .immediately
tka to have the road put in better condition.
The Special Court, called tor this week, is
row in session. The cause of Patchiu vs.
Laniburii, occupied the time and attention of
the Court till last evening, when a verdict was
rendered in favor tf Patchin. The cause was
triad before His Honor, Judge Fisher, of York,
who won the esteem and good wishes of the
members of the Bar, and all others who form
od his acquaintance, by his affable and unas
suming manners and superior legal attain
ments. His Honor, Judgo Burnsido, will pre
aldo tho rcniaindor of the term.
Hebet Swa has received a large stock of
Tall and Winter Goods at his store in Anson-
illfi, which he will sell at prices to suit the
ftmes. His stock was selected specially to
Meet the wants of the community. lie has
sdo a largo stock rf Salt, and a fine assort
ment of Cook, Parlor and Coal Stoves. We
direct attention to his advertisement.
Watches axd Jewelbt. By referring to an
advertisement in another column it will be
seen that II. F. Naugle has received a stock
oi Watches and Jewelry at his establishment
In Shaw's Kow, Clearfield, Pa.' Persons desi
rous of purchasing anything in his lino would
do well by giving him an early call.
Committed. On Saturday, a man named
Andrew Hays was committed to our county
Jail, charged with being implicated in tho rol
lery of Mr. David McGhehan's store near An
sonville. He was taken in Snow Shoe, Centre
county, and brought to this place by Itobt. B.
McCully and Peter Bloom.
Large Cabbage. Mr. Frederick Guclich,
of Lawrence township, presented us on Mon
day with several heads of cabbage, which in
alze exceed anything of the kind we have yet
ecn, one of the heads weighing 19 lbs. Mr.
G. will please accept our thanks for the same.
The Prize Figutebs. Morris.ey says that
his wife's connexions are opposed to his con
tinuing in the "profession." He intends to
open a grog shop and lead a respectable and
.moral life in future. We do not hear of Ilee
aan's reappointment to the Custom House of
fice which he resigned, as the performance of
Its duties interfered with his training. He
has not been flogged worse than Glancy Jones,
And he stands a good deal better chance on
another trial. Mr. Buchanan ought to do
.something for him.
On Sunday night, the Delaware Bank, at
Delhi. New York, was entered, and thirty
even thousand dollars stolen. The robbery
was not discovered till morning, giving the
-perpetrator opportunity to make his escape.
The money, Mken by him consisted of the
following parcels: $13,000 in pocket bills,
$1-5,000 in mutilated Delaware Bank notes,
.$8,000 in gold and $1,000 in other funds.
Mr. Thomas Winans, of Baltimore, is out in
card refuting the charge that the American
contractors for building the St. Petersburg
:nd Moscow Kailroad had cheated the Govern
ment by nmrepresentingthe length of the road.
His letterdisposcs satisfactorily of the charge,
which seems to have its origin in the spiteful
imaginations of certain English Engineers.
