Wiickeas, it appears from statistics, which
can 'bo shown, that ft vast amount ot money
lias been, and still is being drained from our
Cconty to pay for grain, flour and bacon, which
money, if it was now in our midst and scat
tered among the different classes of our com
munity; would make the means of paying debts
jnite'ea.sy in comparison with what they now
-are ; 'Therefore .
' Umpired, That the people of Clearfield Conn
xy are at present, more deeply interested in
4beiuhjjc$.of agriculture than in any other

some-measures to stop the drain of money
from onf "county. " ' 6'-

the linie,;.&c, necessary to make us at least as

bnt even an exporting people of breadstuff's
and other farm products.
Resolved, That we .cTonsidcr that' not only
our" farmers, but also that our mechanics
many 6 -ur)wm can turn ont at good tcork as
can be done in the stale are deeply interest
ed in the matter, and we -ask from them, not
nty sympathy, bnt actual co-operation in our
(Torts to raise the science of agriculture to
its proper position in our midst, as their in
terests depend in a great measure upon the
success of our farmers. .
Resolved, That our Merchants and lumber

f the farmer than any other class of business
men, and that rt is especially their duty to aid
in promoting all their interests, and that our

A CLEABFIELDER "SOLD."
The Ilarnsburg Patriot $ Union of the 20th
January contains the following :
Fleecing a Cocntrymax. The register of
one of our hotels, on Saturday, chronicled the
arrival of a gentleman named Maxwell, hail
ing from the well-timbered region of Clear
field. He came to town unheralded, and was
not honored by any public reception. Though
Mr. M. boasts no collegiate education, be
claims, or has claimed, some knowledge of
the history of the tour kings diamonds,
hearts, spades and clubs. In his youth, he
declares, ho devoted much careful study to
the subject of the five points not of Xcw
York, but of euchre ; though the favorite a
muscmcnt was the research into the mysteries
of high, low, jack and tho game, as developed
in the ancient and fascinating pastime of sev-en-up,
or as it is more clasically termed, "old
sledge." On Tuesday evening, Mr. Maxwell
strolled along the several streets of our Capi
tal liorough, albeit the cold was such as to ad
monish any one to keep within doors, and in
bis meandcrings dropped iuto a certain cozy
corner to see the 'elephant," having already
made tho acquaintance of the "tiger" in a
nother locality. At the table over which these
delightfully fascinating "hanimals," preside,
he met an extremely sociable gentleman, who
stuck to him like a brother, and kindly volun
teered to bo bis chaperon through the town
and its attractions, for which, as a matter
of course, Mr. Maxwell was duly grateful.
The sociable gentleman, for the purpose
of affording the country friend all the a-
mo seme nt in his power, proposed a little
game of cards to pass away the time ; and
accordingly tho two sat down to tho table.
Before beginning, however, the sociable gen
tleman carelessly dealt the cards, giving him
self the ace, king, queen, jack and deuco of
clubs, trey and four of hearts, and seven,
eight and nine of spades. "Now," says the
sociable gentleman, supposing hearts were
trump, I would be bound to make high, low,
jack and the game four times." The Cltar
field county gentleman looked at all the cards
and studied. He noticed that his jack of
clubs would take the kind friend's ten, and
count eleven for game, whereas bis opponent,
with his successful trump card, could count
but ten. Making this sharp discovery, ho
contradicted bis friend's assertion, and pro
posed to bet him fifty dollars that ho could not
make "four times." The latter appeared
greatly excited, and offered to increase tha
wager to one hundred, which was accepted,
The gentleman commenced by leading his ace,
and Maxwell followed suit by playing his four.
He then played his duce, which was taken by
Maxwell's tray. Clearfield county next led
one of his spades, whereupon his Harrisburg
friend quietly threw away his ten. when the
gentleman from the country saw that he was
gone up," and surrended the "spondulix."
This trick, which cannot bo explained with
out the use of 'technical terms," is, we learn,
frequently played off tipon grecniea by profes
sional black-legs. Its publication here may
serve to make others beware how they fall in
to tbe clutches of sharpers. Cards are dan
gerous contrivances, and it cannot bo doubted
that many bad tendencies are attributable to
them, which cannot be outweighed by the con
sideration that they may be, and often are used
as a means of innocent pastime.
MARRIED:
At the residence of the bride's father in
Beccaria township, on Thursday evening, Jan
nary 27th, by Rev. T. Van Scoyoc, William
S. Wells, Esq., and Miss Elizabeth J. Suorr,
both of Clearfield county.
DIED:
On Dec. 27th, 1858, at the residence ot bis
son-in-law, Samuel Beyer, at Glade Ron, In
diana county. Pa., Mr. Willia W. Feltwell,
formerly ofCIcarfield county, in tbe 84th year
of bis age.
Near Leclair City, Iowa, of Dropsy, on Jan
uary 16th, 18-39, Mr. Ricuaro Bard, in the
eighty-fourth year of his age. The deceased,
says the Leclair City Enterprise, was a man
of uncommon vigor of intellect, and retained
bis strength of mind and clearness of compre
hension, till the day of his death. He was
born in Frankiin county, Pa., and with his
father, who was a Presbyterian Clergyman,
subsequently removed to Huntingdon Co., Fa.,
where his father was elected, and served twelve
years in Congress. His father was a Democrat
of tbe Jefferson school, and infused into the
mind of his son, tbe principles which be has
always found by experience, to be the only
political principles which can safely carry on
a Republican government. Hence he has
held steadfastly and cultivated the principles
of Jefferson, and cast his first Presidential
vote for him ; and what is very remarkable,
he never missed an election, but has voted
for every democratic candidate for President
since. He often expressed. the greatest satis
faction that he lived to see the day, when one
of the noblest sons of the laud of his birth,
was elevated to the highest office in tbe gift
of the party to which he was always so sincere
ly attached Jackson. After holding the of
fice of Post Master for many years, at Cherry
Tree, in Pa., Mr. Bard moved here in 1841,
and bought a farm, and has lived with bis fam
ily on it in apparent comfort and plenty, as
far as pecuniary matters are concerned, but
was greatly distressed and afflicted by the loss
of his children, especially in the death of his
son John, who was murdered in California.
He, however, bore all his afflictions with Chris
tian fortitude and becoming submission. As
a politician, Mr. Bard always informed him
self of the doings of office-holders, and was
ever ready to disapprove of wrong, even when
committed by one of his own party; but more
especially, did he discard and dislike any
measure that conflicted with his favorite creed.
Ho has more than once been heard to say,
that bis greatest desire to live longer, was to
see our country become so powerful as to be
able to teach all nations our holy religion,
and to assist them in adopting our wise -and
glorious institutions. Mr. Bard has long been
j a member of the Presbyterian church, and has
oeen a very regular worshipper In the Sanctu
ary, and an efficient supporter of tbe means
ot Grace, and the ordinances of the Church.
Five of hia children have departed before bim,
and bit has now gone and left the other five
and his aged partner, besides a very great
number ot friends and relatives to mourn thoir
loss. By Request. 1 .

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, a com pound
remedy, in which we have labored to produce
tbe most effectual alterative that can be made. It
is a concentrated extract of Fara Sarsaparilla, so
combined with other substances of still greater al
terative power as to afford an effective antidote for
the diseases Saraaparilla is reputed to core. It is
believed that such a remedy is wanted by those
who suffer from Strumous ceuplaiats, and that one
which will accomplish their eare must prove of
immense service to Ibis large class of oar afflicted
fellow citizens. How completely thisoompound will
doit has been proven by experiment en many ef the
wont cases to be found of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints. Eruptions
and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches,
Tumors, Salt Rhenm, Scald Head', Syphilis and
Sypfailitie affections, Mercurial Disease, DrTry,
Neuralgia or Tio Douloureux, Debility, Dysnepem
and Indigestion. Erysipelas, Rose or St. Antho
ny's Fire, and indeed the -whole elasa of com
plaints arisiug from Imparity of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter
of health, when taken in the spring, te expel the
foul humors which fester in tbe blood at that sea
son of the year. By the timely expulsion of them
many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud
Multitudes ean- by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance ef foul eruptions
and nloerous sores, through which the system will
strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to
do this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine.- Cleanse out tbe vitia
ted blood whenever yon find its impurities burst
ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores;
cleanse it when yon find it is obstructed aod slug
gish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is fonl,
and yourfeelings will tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is felt, people, enjoy better
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
Keep the body healthy, and all is well; bnt with
this pabulum of life disordered, there can be
no lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery . of
life is disordered or altogether overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the repu
tation, of accomplishing these ends. But the
world has been egregiously deceived by prepara
tions of it, partly because the drug alone has
not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more
because many preparations, pretending to be
eoncentrrted extracts of it, contain but little of
the virtueof Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the publis have been misled
by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Ex
tract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these
have been frauds npon the sick, for they not only
contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla. but often no cu
rative properties whatever. Hence. bitter and pain
ful disappointment has followed the use of the va
rious extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the mar
ket, nntil tbe name itself is justly despised, and
has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and
intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue
the name from tbe load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have good ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistable by
tho ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to
cure. In order to secure their complete eradica
tion from the system, tbe remedy should be judi
ciously taken according to directions on tbe bottle.
Prepared by Dr. J. C. AyerJr Co.. Lowell, Mass.
Price $1 per Bottle; Six Bottles for S5.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, has won for it
self such a renown for tbe core of every varie
ty of Throat and Lung complaint, that it is en
tirely unnecessary for us to recount the evidence
of its virtues, wherever it has been employed.
As it has long been in, constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure
the people that its quality is kept np to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do
for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, for tbe cure of
Costiveness, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Dysentery, Foul Stomach, Erysipelas, Headache,
Piles, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases,
Liver Complaint. Dropsy, Tetter, Tumors and Salt
Rheum, Worms, Gout, Neuralgia, as a Dinner Pill,
and for Purifying tbe Blood. They are sugar
coated, so that the most sensitive can take them
pleasantly, and tbey are the best aperient in the
world for all the purposes of a family physic.
Price 25 cents per Box ; Five Boxes for $1.00.
Great numbers of Clergymen. Physicians. States
men, and eminent personages,havelent their names
to certify the unparalleled osef ulness of these rem
edies, but our space here will not permit the in
sertion of them. The Agents below named furnish
gratis our American Alumnae in which they are
given; with also full descriptions of the above
complaints, and the treatment that sbonld be fol
lowed for their cure. Do not be pot off by un
principled dealers with other preparations they

no others. The sick want the best aid there is
for them, and tbey should have it.
