Whereas, The last two Grand Juries by u
nanlnious agreement having reported to the
SJourt of Quarter Sessions of Clearfield coun
ty, that the present Court House is unfit to ac
coiiimodate the people of said county in trans
acting their public business and that a new
one ought to be built, and the Court having
given instructions to the county commission
ers to make arrangements for building the
same; And Whereas the erection of a build
ing creditable to our county would create a
debt of $'JO,00( or $30,000, to be liquidated
by the tax-payers cf the county : Therefore
Resolved, That a removal of the county scat
'from Clearfield to Curwensville would give
the people of the county a more central loca
tion for a county seat, Curwensville being IS
miles from the Centre county lino on the east,
18 miles from the Jefferson lino on the west,
31 miles from the Cherry-tree and 31 miles
from Karthaus two points on the river near
-the county line and also on the main thor--onghfarc
from Tyrone to Erie.
Rewired, That we believe it the interest of
the majority of the people of the county to
lsave said county seat removed, and that we
w ill use all honorable means to have a law
passed sit the next session of the Legislature
Authorising the people of the county to vote
for or against the removal of the said county
seat frem Clearfield to Cur.vcnsville.
JitsolrtJ, That in the event of a removal of
the county seat to Curr.onsville, we pledge
ourselves to erect all public buildings neces
sary for county purposes, at private cost, with
out asking one dollar from the county treasury.
Resolved, That we request the taxables in the
townships favorable to a removal to hold meet
ings, and appoint delegates to meet in Cur
werssville on Friday the 17th day of December

receive in time to appear in our last paper:

S. B. How, Esq : Dear Sir : Thanksgiving
passed of about as usual, and services were
held in the Presbyterian church. A little cir
cumstance, however, occurred, which might
In; worth recording. Dr. G. M. Gamble and
his worthy lady had invited a number of their
friend. to their house. After they had parta
ken of a sumptuous dinner, one after another
began to feel a little sick at the stomach, and
fin.i!ly all of the party some 12 or 15 men,
women and children began to heave. Jonah !
what a sight! Imagine to yourself what a
time they had of it they not only lost their
. I : .. i ... . t . !..: i. j - t
their supper. The Dr. was the sickest one
among the party- Th-.-y have, however, all
recovered, but all look as if the' had had the
sea-sickness. The atljir was mysterious at
first, but is plain enough now. It seems that,
by mistake, tartar emetic had been used in
stead of cream of tartar in some of the pastry,
and hence tho upward tendency of things.
The circumstance should serve as a warning
to housekeepers, and remind fheni that there
are more tat tars than cream of tartar, a fact
for which, I have no doubt, some of the party
can vouch. Ose Who Knows.
Froze to Death. Last Friday, a man
- named Ellis, a blacksmith by trade, was found
frozen to death, several miles beyond Phillips
bnrg, near the Tyrone road, the face horribly
.mutilated by a skunk, which was at the time
knowing at it, and which led to the discovery
.of the body. It appears that about a week pre
vious, Ellis and an Irishman were on their way
to Phillipsburg ; both under the influence of
liquor, and havirg a flask with them. The I
rishman, somewhat exhausted, returned in a
. short time to Radcbach's, stating that ho could
not persuade Ellis to accompany him. The
: unfortunate man was not seen or heard of un
til his body was found as mentioned above.
An inquest was held, and the foregoing facts
elicited. The remains were interred at Phil-
lmsburz on aaturaav.

Last Thursday, the 25th Xov., being the
.centennial anniversary of the evacuation of
Fort Duqncsne by the French army and its oc
cupation by the English, the citizens of Pitts
burgh and vicinity celebrated it with the great
est enthusiasm. Business was entirely sus
pended. The procession which paraded the
streets was tho most gorgeous and imposing
that ever took place there. It consisted of tho
various military companies of the city and
neighborhood, the remaining soldiers of the
wars of the Revolution and 1812, the Mayor
and other officials of the city and county, and
;the various trades, which were represented by
.a largo number of operatives, with appropriate
banners,emblems and devices. The Firemen,
X)dd Fellows, Turners, Benevolent, Literary
and other civic societies also turned out in
great numbers. A large number of strangers
-were also present, and many prominent public
:men. Addresses were delivered by the Hon.
A- W. Loomis, Wm. Wilkins and others, at
the Dnqnesne Depot of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, which is located on the spot of old Fort
Duquesne.
A Ellibusteio expedition against Mexico is
said to be on foot in Texas. This is probably
an old story in a new form. Foor Mexico is
menaced from a! I sides. The Spaniards talk
of attacking her at Vera Cruz and Tampico,
an expedition against Sonora is threatened,
and now we have a rumor of another denjon

Several weeks ago we mentioned that Mr.

fornia in last June, had his leg crushed in a
water-wheel derrick. The following extracts
from a letter written by Mr. Henderson to Mr.
John McGaughey, of our town, will bo read
with interest. '
Dowxieviiae, Cal., Oct. 27, 1858.
Dear Sir : After a long delay, I fulfill my
promise of writing to you. 1 had intended to
write some five or six weeks ago, but just then
I met with a very severe accident, getting my
left leg from the knee to the ankle all mashed
and broken to pieces, so that it had to be am
putated above the knee. I was hurt ou the
15th of Sept., which now lacks only one day
of six weeks, and I have not been out of my
bed yet. My leg is not near healed up yet ;
I have suflered very much. I cannot explain
to you how 1 got injured, but if I get home a
gain I will tell you all about it. I intend to
start for home as soon as I get able, as I can
do nothing here. ' I am not able to write much,
as I am very weak. I am sitting up in bed
with a board across in front of mo for a wri
ting desk.
I had mined just two months when I got
hurt, and was about buying a claim at that
time which has since paid pretty well. We
have had considerable rain and snow during
the last two weeks. Four miles from here
the snow is three feet deep, and 10 miles north
of this, on the mountains, it is five feet deep.
I have not written to any of my friends yet,
ns 1 did not want them to know my situation
until I was out of danger. Nearly every per
son who saw me said I could not get well ; the
doctor himself had but little hope of my re
covery. I had promised to write to a good
many, especially on Chest creek, but am not
able to do so. If they see this note, they will
know the reason. I should like very much to
hear from my friends, but do not know that I
shall be here long enough to receive an answer.
Yours, &c. U. L. Hexdersox.

before the close of the late session of Con
