evenirg, the 11th, at early candle lighting.

A Dwarf in Clearfield Coixtv. 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.

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.

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.

As it has long been in.constant use throughout
this section, wc need not do more than assure

it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do
for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
