On last Saturday we had an opportunity of seeing a young man, named William Lee, a son ot Mr. Isaac Lee, of Burnside township, who is but S inches high, measures 37 inches around the lody, weighs 07 lbs., and is nineteen years of age. He appears to be perfect in body and limb, moves around with ease considering his corpulency, has a good eye, and scrutinizes closely the countenances of those who go to ace him. We did not hear him sary anything, but were told that he speaks when no strangers re present, Ilcesliibits the languor that man ifests itself in a!l dwarfs, but his erect carrijgc and comparatively huge proportions, give him a dignified appearance, such as is supposed to belong to aldennanic gentlemen who live well, i'pon the whole, this boy is a curiosity that will nearly compare with the world-renowned Gen. Tom Thumb. A Little Ahead. Last week we published an item about a 1 rge stick of timber in the upper end of the county. The following note makes mention of a larger one : Pexssville, Feb. 24th, IS'tO. S. B. Row, Esq. : Captain James Dowler, near .New Washington, who, wo are informed through the Journal, hauled a stick of viuarc timber not long since, containing 323 feet cu bic, may haul down his flag when he gets to Lumber City, (or we have a stick of timber now on the river, at that plact-f measuring S7'. feet cubic, being 2-" by 2G inches and 81 feet in length. This beats Capt. Howler's 51 feet. This is a part ol a raft (now hauled) which, wheu rafted, will measure GOO feet in length and contain 12,522 It. cubic, as measured in ihe woods with an inch and a quarter hook. There will be four platforms, as follows: one f,4 ft., one 74 It., and two 81 feet. If any body can beat this we should like to hear ol it. i Yours, Ki'ssell, Kirk & Co. The Journal, printed at Middletown, Dau phin county, Pa., in its issue of February 24th, my : "The river has been in good rafting or der for the last couple days, and we should not be surprised to see a considerable quantity ol lumber arrive in a short time. The season is rather early for rafting, but if the hardy lum bermen venture the perils of descending the river, they will meet with ready sales. There is, probably, less lumber at this point, just tjo-.v, than there has been for a long time." Our Middletown cotempora'ry is about right in s.ij ing "the season is rather early for raft ing," and the weather is so changeable that it lo,t risky to start, tho' a few rafts did pass !imn one day last weeK, but it is not probable . hui they would go very far. On Thursday ;:gli a few indies of snow fell, but the weath er moderated on Saturday and Sunday, and incited most of it away. Some "rafting-iu" v.as done yesterday, but the river is not high .enough at this place for running. Sc.iKCiTY of Hocsks. Our attention has re cently Wen called to ti:e fact of there being a scarcity of tenant houses in our town, and that the demand for property of this kind cannot be supplied the coming spring. This is a sig nificant matter, which should receive the at tention of lot-holders and capitalists, and in duce them to erect more buildings. The ad vancement of their own private interests, with out taking into consideration the public bene fit that would necessarily follow, should, we think, be a sufficient incentive to move them to sneedv action. We have heard, it is true. the objection that it "won't pay" the owner to jmt up houses and rent them. This we con sider not only a mistake, but the argnment is reallv an advocacy of a monied aristocracy, and if carried into effect would drive out of the town every individual who is not rich enoueh to bur a house and lot at the exorbi tant prices at which they are held here. Just in nrouortion as you increase the size or towns, In the same ratio du you enhance the value of property, and stimulate and expand business ; and the expansion -ot trade will, in turn, make the location a desirable one, and be an induce ment to renters to pay remunerative prices to owners ol bouses, shops and oflices. If ev rv branch of business that is carried on in Clearfield Borough could be doubled, those who have to rent would not mind an advance in this resncct, suflicient to make it "pay" the property holder, because the increase in their business operations would be sucu as lojusu- fr them in so doine. Build up the town, and yon bund up everything with it. Density of population creates demand, and demand cre ates trade and regulates prices. Give us as many thoasinds of a population as we have hundreds now, and you will create a demand lor all manner of industrial products, that will be of almost incalculable benefit to tradesmen of all kinds and to property holders, as well as to the farming community. We hope, there lore, that the matter will receive some atten tion from our capitalists and arouse them to speedy action, lor wc think they need have no fears that their investment will "not pay" eventually. Mabcii came in "like a lamb" mild and beautiful whether it will '-go out like a lion" fierce and blustery remains to be seen. no hope, however, it will behave itself re spectably, and bring ns an early spring. Look Oct ! Wc will next week publish a portion of an excellent story, entitled '-The Gunmaker of Moscow." It is an advertise ment for which we will receive the cash, an article that we have received very little of for some time from our patrons, and hence can not afford to reject any of the tempting crumbs that may thus be thrown to us. An Interesting Pictcbe A few days since we were shown by our friend Maj. Ben. Harts horn, of Cnrwensville, a picture of "Tho Uni ted States Senate in 1850," which contains a likeness of each member at that time, with Henry Clay in the loreground addressing the Senate on the Compromise Measures. The likenesses, so far as we are able to judge, are good, and the picture reminds the beholder of one of the most exciting epochs in the politi cal history of our country. CLIPPINGS AND SCBI8BLING3. ca DREADFUL AFFAIK IX TVASHIKGT02T. On last Sunday, Feb. 27th, Washington City was thrown into an uuusual state of ex citement by the shooting of Phillip Barton Key, L". S. Attorney for the District of Co lumbia, by Daniel E. Sickles , Member of Con gress from the 3d district of New York. Mr. Sickles, it appears, obtained indubitable evi dence of improper intimacy between his wife and Mr. Key, and meeting the latter on the street, he shot him with a revolver three times, causing death in a few moments. Mr?. Sickles confessed her criminality, and that Mr. Key had rented a house from a . negro, where she was in the habit of meeting him. Mr. Sickles loved his wife with great devotion, and lavished all his means upon her. They lived in elegant style there,occupying a house of 3,000 rent. Mrs. Sickles rode in a splen did carriage with outriders; wore jewels to the value of $5,000, and seemed to want nothing that she did not have. Washington, Feb. 27, 1S59.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA, a compound remedy, in which wc have labored to produce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla. eo combined with other substances of still greater al terative power as to afford an effective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure roust prove or immense service to this large class or our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely thiscompound will do it has been pro7en by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the followingcomplaints : Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints. Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers. Pimples, Blotches. Tumors. Salt Rheum, Scald Head. Syphilis and Syphilitic affections. Mercurial Disease. Dropsy, Neuralgia or lie j ouiourcux, j'cuuiiy, i'yspcpsia and Indigestion. Erysipelas, Kosc or St. Antho ny's Fire, anil indeed th wholo olas of com plaints arising from Impurity of the Blood. Thiscompound will bo found a great" promoter of htalth, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which foster in the blood at that sea son of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disorders arc nipped in the bud Multitudes can. b tbe aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels or tho body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia ted blood whenever you find its impurities burst ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions. or sores; cleanse it when you Gnd it is obstructed and slug gish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and vourfcolines will tell vou when. Even where no particular dfsorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, lor cleansing mo uioou. Keep the body healthy, nnd all is well ; bnt with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, ami the great machinery of life is disordered or altoetner overthrown. Sarsaparilla has. and deserves much, the repn tation. of accomplishing these cuds. But the world has been cgrcgiously deceived by prepara tions of it, partly because the drug al..ne has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to be conccntrrted extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla. or any thing else. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretendiug to give a quart of Ex tract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla. but often no cu rative properties whatever, ilence.bittcrand pain ful disappointment has followed tho use of the va rious extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the mar ket, nntil the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition andchcaf. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have good ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistable by the ordinarv run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete cradica- tion Trom the system, the remedy should be judi ciously taken according to directions on the bottle. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Aycrb Co., Lowell, .Mass.
