CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 8, 1858.
The River has been high lor several days,
la consequence of the sudden melting of the
snow and the tailing of rain. We observed a
timber rait passing down the river yesterday
morning, and we understand that a few more
will be started, if the water keeps up, which ia
altogether probable from present appearances.
Mcsic. The attention of onr citizens is di
rected to the card of Miss Constant, in onr ad
Yertising columns. A rare opportunity is now
presented to persons who arc desirous of re
ceiving instructions in music, and they should
not fail to embrace it. Miss C. is also fully
competent to give lessons in French, that be
ing her native language.
All Livixa Ykt. It is a noticeable fact
that all the men who have held the position of
Sheriff of Clearfield county, since its organi
sation, aie yet living, and that with the excep
tion of two, they all reside at this day within
the limits of the county.

I.oifi us. Habitual loafers are one of the
.greatest curses that can aflliet a community
Their example is pernicious: tho loss of their
labor and skill is a draw back to prosperity
and business ; and as they must cat and wear
clothes, thev arc bound to subsist 3 the in
dustrious part of tho people procuring what
they need by a system of "Jeremy Diddling,"
by buying on credit aud never paying, by false
pretences, or stealing, You will find them of
ten, as well or better dressed than those who
are industrious, seeking prominence on pub
lic occasions, and more officious in public al
fairs than those who pay all the public charges.
They are the first to make a commotion about,
nd take tho lead in affVirs in which of all
ether they have the least interest, thereby
brljging trouble and cost on those who have
interests at stake and who must pay expenses.
"The devil finds some mischief still,
For idle hands to do :"
ftnd a watchful and jealous eye should be kept
on habitual and persistent idlers, who, having
the ability to engage in business, prefer to
pend their time in loafing around, vitiating
others by their example.
Medical Qcacks ixd IxrosTKes. It is a
lamentable lact that people generally arc ever
roady to avail themselves, when sick, of the
advice of quacks and impostcrs. Almost
every itinerating humbug that comes along
either of the old country or our own gets
some anxious deluded patient in his clutches,
and after fleecing him to the utmost farthing,
suddenly decamps for other parts, to pursue
still further his swindling operations. How
long will people suffer themselves to bo thus
cheated aud deceived? How much longer
will they consent to have "Dr. So-and-so, re
cently from England or Professor somebody
else, formerly of sumo State Ptuittntiary,
practice upon their credulity, and finally run
off with their pocket-books and contents?
Itinerant quack humbtiggcry in medicino is
perhaps more prevalent than in any other
profession or calling. Persons, when sick or
diseased, arc ready and anxious to try almost
anything tin y may bear of, that will be likely
' in the unallest degree to afford them relief.
Hence these multiplied impositions. If peo
ple wonld consult a physician of known re
spectability and standing, one of their own
fellow-citizens, who has made medicine and
the lir.man system the study of his life, they
would be more likely to have their health re
stored and their money saved ; tvbilo they
would at the same time, greatly contribute
towards driving all pretending characters from
their assumed calling, to some honest trade
or business for a livelihood. It should be ob
served as a general rule, applicable in all cases
and without exception, that a physician of
note or skill is never compelled to travel from
place to place, hanging his shingle on the
nearest tree or fence, in order to obtain prac
tice. His reputation aud fame may travel,
but be is permanently located somewhere,
supported by the confidence and patronage
avhich his ability and knowledge are sure to
Iring him.
Hicn times is Nebraska. The Nebraska
legislature appears to.be composed of a set
.of regular fisticuffing backwoods-men. On
(the 3d ult. the members of the Assembly havr
ing each received $40, bought a lot of cham
paign, and got on a regular "bender." After
jthe liquor had all been disposed of, they re
turned to the hall to resume business, many of
them so "dead drunk" that they could not sit
upright on their seats. Saon a difliculty arose
between the Speaker and a gentleman, which
commenced by vigorous application of a
jcaue to the back of the Speaker, aqd was con
tinued for some timo, during which all the
members who were able, joined ia the fight.
