THE JOUENAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 29,1858.
Accident. On Saturday the 18th Decem
ber, we learn, that a son of Jacob Smith, who
reside in Bell township near JacobCampbelt's,
aged about 12 years, loll from a straw stack
and bad his thigh broken.
The "Pennsville Lyceum," a literary asso
'ciation recently established for the improve
ment of the young of that place, is progress
ing finely. The "Herald," a monthly paper
read before the association, Is improving.
The lady friend who sent us a delicious mince
pie on Christmas day, will please accept our
thanks. Snch a pi-ons act as that is highly
praiseworthy, and if any others should follow
the example thus set, we shall take great plea
" sure in recording the fact.
CLIPPINGS AND SCRI8BLINGS.
'Lost is tuc Woods. Last week, Nathaniel J
Cabins, Sr., of Burnside township, we are in- j
lonticd, was lost in the woods for a period of
over two days. He is an old hunter, and went
up Bear liun to visit some bear-pens, which
ho has in the wilderness near the Jefferson
-county line. He lost his gnu, shot-pouch, Jtc.
and was without food during the whole of that
time, and had become almost insane from ex
posure, fatigue and hunger.
A Metkoe. A friend, under date of Decem
ber 22d, writes us as follows : "This evening
. as I was riding near New Washington, I was
startled by a glaring light behind me, which
illuminated the road and surrounding objects,
and got turned around just in time to see a
biiliiant meteor burst and fill in a shower of
parks, like an exploded rocket. It was lie
fore the moon arose. Several other persons
dn the vicinity saw it also."
Boundaries of Pixk. There is a wrong im
pression prevalent as to a portion of the boun
daries ol the proposed county of Pine. Some
think that they include a part of Brady and
Penn townships. Tho line does not include
jmr portion of these townships, and does not
ven take all of Bell, but leaves quite a large
vomer adjoining Ponn. Some of the peti
tions, we believe, read, "to the mwA-west
-corner of Brady," instead of tho svuA-west
comer, and it was this mis-print that evidont
lr gave rise to the misapprehension of tho
boundary on that side of the proposed county.
Treatment or Fkosted Feet. To cure
the intolerable itching that follows frost-bitten
toes, it is necessary to totally exclude the air
from the atfected part. If it is not accompa
nied with swelling, gnm shellac dissolved in
-alcohol applied so as to form a complete coat,
is the easiest remedy that we know of. It
-tiries soon, and does not adhere to the stock
ings, and generally lasts until the feet are well.
If the flesh becomes swollen and painful, plas
ter of good hticking salve are of great ser
vice, but if highly inflamed any mild poultice
that will exclude the oxygen of tha air from
the diseased part, ami keep it moist, allowing
tha recuperative powerof nature to do the rest.
Colds and How to Prevent Them. This is
the season when colds are most prevalent, and
a great many persons in our town arc now sore
.ly afflicted in this way. A fact well worth re
ineiubcriug in this weather, is that when the
. first premonitions of a cold are felt, the best
wy to iroveiit it is to exercise vigorously un
til perspiration is induced, when the sufferer
should keep up the warmth by 'full clothing or
by going to bed. Xo whiskey punches or
-warm baths, or hot water and mnstard for the
feel, can be compared to the glow which a
general stretching of tile mnscles induces. If
fairly caught, the cold must be endured, but it
in always modified by avoiding excesses of all
kinds.
Oi'tracui on American 'Citizens. The
New York Herald publishes a letter from an
American citizen named Alexander Robinson,
wha writes to lis from a prison in Callao, in
' which he Las been immuted as he himself
say a without cause and where he has been
treated with the greatest inhumanity. It ap
pears that he and two of the inmates of the
same house were dragged out of their beds at
night by the police, thrown into a dungeon
and subjected to the most cruel tortures to
force them to say 1 hey were thieves. This is
the second case of imprisonment of Ameri
cans which has been brought to our notice.
The other was that of Captain Jefferson, who
lias been imprisoned for years in the same
place, and who, we believe, is still in confine
-iiicnt. We trust onr government will have
these cases investigated, and if the statements
which have been made are true, that they will
call the Peruvian government to strict account
for the outrages alleged to have been com
mitted on American citizens.
Mississippi Ream tor War. Our readers
. will doubtless remember that Jeff. Davis re
cently threatened, if a Republican President
was elected, to uissolvo the Union and smash
np things promiscuously, and counseled tho
Sovereign State of Mississippi to prepare for
the emergency. Accordingly, an examination
-has been made, and the Vicksburg Whig gives
the following inventory of the "circumstance
of war," discovered to be on hand :
4 flint lock muskets all rusty, and bo
breeches to at least two.
I cannon.
7 bavonets rusty, with no points.
,A pile of belts and scabbards, bnt no swords.
50 cartridge boxes.
The Whig adds:" We now have 5 Major
Generals, 10 Brigadier Generals, and CO Colo
nels, 60 Lieutenant Colonels, GO Majors, and
w ill soon have 600 Captains, 1200 Lieutenants,
1800 Sergeants and 4800 Corporals. We are
happy to inform them, however, that we have
no privates the Legislature having dispensed
with that useless portion of tho anny."
We think Jeff, himself should bo selected
us Generalissimo of these forces, so that they
will .be well trained and able to "pitch in"
jroperly when the command is given to "prc
trr.s and '.-frnrge the enemy."
