A Cueap asd Brilliant LiunT. The sub
ject of obtaining a light that combines econ
omy with brilliancy, is one that lias engaged
J lie attention of the public for many years. A
great number of experiments have been made,
ami great improvements have been effected.
But, after trying the various articles ot oils,
burning fluids, &e., we believe we keep strict
ly within the bounds of truth, when we say
thst the new article of Kerosene or Coal Oil
surpasses in economy every other article yet
prepared, and in brilliancy of flame is surpas
sed only by gas. The saving that is effected
by the burning, is estimated at 50 per centum,
this estimate being founded on various and
continued tests, and as to the beauty and safe
ty of the light, a single trial will satisfy any
person of that fact. A lamp, well adapted for
the use of this oil, lias been patented, and
combines every juality that could be desired
beauty, simplicity and safety. o accci
dent can occur from explosion if properly
used, there will be comparatively little or no
.smoke it is easily trimmed, and readily reg
ulated to give as much or as little light as may
be desired. We have now one of theso beau
tiful iitnl economical lamps in use in our of
fice, where any one desirous of seeing it burn
ing, can do so any evening and judge for
themselves. These lamps are kept for sale by
Merrell & Carter, on Second street, Clearfield,
I'ii. They also keep constantly on hand the
coal oil, as well as wicks, tubes, &c, and are
prepared to change ordinary oil and fluid
lamps into coal oil lamps. Persons wishing to
supply tlicmselves with this cheap and bril
liant light should call upon Messrs. Merrell Jc
Carter without delay.
Insi rk yovr Hordes against Thieves. S.
A. Gibson, of Lock Haven, is the General A
gent lor the Fanners' Mutual Horse Thief De
tecting and Insuaance Co., of York, York co.,
I.' This Company is established by some of
tlw most wealthy f.irnters of. York county, for
the better security of horses iigainst thieves,
with a capital of $330,000 00, and insure on
the following terms : 3 horses for 5 years $3,
and -o cents lor each additional horse. Each
horse insured is branded by the agent with the
Company's mark, letter C Iu cane a horse
thos marked and insured is stolen, the Compa
ny is bound to search out the horse and return
him to the owner, or pay hi full value in cash,
within sixty days from the time he was stolen.
This is the only Company of the kiud now es
tablished in Pennsylvania, and it is believed
that uo one who lias any regard fur the safety
of his property will hesitate for one moment
to become a member of this institution. We
read daily accounts of valuable hor3es being
stolen in all parts of the State, and you know
not what liour j our stable or field may be visi
ted by one of theso midnight robbers, and
thus deprived of your valuable animaLs, to
whom will you look lor redress if not insured ?
3Ir. Gibson will be through CleaiGckl coun
ty in a few days.when all who desiro to insure
their horses w ill have an opportunity of so do
ing. Mr. Gibson is also agent lor the follow
ing firo insurance companies Great Western
and Quaker Ci'y, Philadelphia, and the Farm
er' Company cl llarrisbtirg.
Hardware The attention of the Mer
chants of this county is directed to the adver
tisement of Abbey & Xetl, of Philadelphia,
dealers in every description of Mechanical,
Building, Farming and Household Hardware,
which appears in our columns to-day. They
might find it to their advantage to give them
a call before making purchases elsewhere.
Cleartield Academt. We direct the attcn
li a of the public to the advertisement of the
Clearfield Academy, which will be opened ou
ike first Tuesday of May next, under the gen
eral supervision of Rev. J. M. Galloway.
We are requested to state that by Divine
permission the Rev. M. L. Jackson.will preach
iaj.he Baptist meeting-house in Clearfield, on
Saturday evening the l'Jth, and Sunday the
20th March instant.
Sick Headache can be cured by the use of
Pu Vall's Galvanic Oil in from five to twenty
rninutes. Sore breasts and sore nippjes are
cured soundly by the use of this article, and it
will remove all sore and pain in a few minutes.
The oldest couple in Vermont is said to bo
living in Hardwick, the old gentleman being
97 and bis wife 99, the two having lived to
gether in wedlock for seventy-nine years.
The old lady says she can now do more house
work in a day than half the girls in town, and
Iicr works prove it.
CLIPPINGS AND SCR I B3LINGS.
KFTact the weather, like the Indian's gtiD,
is "mighty unsartiu.'
. 0"The Clarkesvillc Chronicle says there are
now twenty-five iron furnaces standiug idle iu
Tennessee.
K7"Ovcr six thousand places exist in New
York where intoxicating liquors are sold, con
trary to law, without a license.
117" We should educate the whole man the
body, the head, the heart ; the body to act, the
head to think, and the heart to feel.
T7"The French army, it is said, is compos
ed of 631,000 fighting men, of which over
500,000 ore available lor foreign war.
E7"What branch of education do you have
chiefly, in your school?" A willow branch,
sir; the master has used almost a whole wil
low tree."
C?"The cars on the Reading Railroad are
now lighted with gas. The gas is placed in a
receiver underneath tho cars, which is filled
at Reading.
EP""San Francisco has every Sunday night,
English, French and German theatres in full
blast. Probably no other city in the world of
TOjOOO population could say so much.
G"The aggregate annual shoe trade of Mas
aachusetts, jt is said, reaches over fifty mil
lions of dollars. What a lot ot Yankee boots
and shoes it would take to bring that sum.
C7"To get to Pike's Peak, go to work and
save'yotir money till yon get three or four hun
dred dollars ; then buy a piece of land, and
stay at home and mind your own business.
ti7Soniebody wants to know whether a per
son cannot vote by telegraph. This is a ques
tion lor political wire-workers to solve. AVo
think it depends upon the regulation of the
polls.
EF"The cost of the present short session of
Congress, of only three months' duration, foots
up with the enormous sum of two millions e
lcvcn thousand dollars ! So says the Appro
priation bill.
CC7"The members of the Illinois legislature
are allowed two dollars per day for the term ol
forty-two djys. If they extend the session
beyond that time, they receive but one dollar
per day. That's right.
DC7"A pailful of lye, with a piece of cop
peras halt as big as a hen's egg, boiled in it,
will produce a line nackceu color, which will
not wash out. This is very useful for the li
nings of bed quilts, comfotts, etc.
I7We learn that Dr. Woods, of this place,
a lew dciys since, removed a diseased bone,
some two inches in length, from the leg of a
l.ul of about 12 -years of age, the son of James
Albert, ot Bradford township.
C7"It came out ii the discussion of the
postage bill, the other day in Congress, that
the cost of conveying a single letter to Cali
fornia, by the overland mail, amounts to from
thirty-five to sixty dollars. No wonder the
Post-oflice Department is so hopelessly in debt
tX7"Maiiy farmers in Fayette coiwity, West
ern Virginia, who have never before given
their attention to tlie cultivation of tobacco,
are now making arrangements to engage in it.
Several patches were raised in the Dogwood
Gap, in that county, last year, and were sold
standing at $10'J per acre.
EThere must be some "Merry Minnesota
Wives" if tho following be true: "The Men
dona Press says that two citizens of that town
have recently lost their wives by elopement,
and the customary salutation in the streets,
instead of "How do you do sir J" has become
"is you.- wife safe, this morning V
C7At the President's last levee Mrs. Jair.es
Gordon Bennet "occupied the same room with
Mr. Buchauan, and by his direction, the crowd
were presented to her as well as Miss Lane.
At one time, says the Post's correspondent, it

Mrs. Bennet's or Mr. Buchanan's. The two
occupied a sofa together in the reception room
for about three-quarters of an hour, the Pres

Rennet. The latter was attired after tho latest
French style, and was decked with jewels iu
abundance, and held in her hand a choice bo
quet, "put np in a unique manner."

vas shut, and the cord slipping about his
neck, choked him to death.

4 VER'S SARSAPARILLA, a compound
remedy, in which we have labored to produce
the most effectual alterative that can be made. It
i3 a concentrated extract of Para Sarssparilla, so
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 must prove of
immense service to this large class of our afflicted
fcllowcitizens. How completely thiscoinpound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many of the
worst cases to be found of thefollowingcompl.iints:
Scrofula and Scrofulous complaints, Eruptions
and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers. Pimples, Blotches.
Tumors. Salt Bbeum, Scald Head, Syphilis and
Syphilitic affections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy,
Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dyspepsia
and Indigestion. Erysipelas, .Rose or St. Antho
ny's Fire, and indeed the whole class of com
plaints arising from Impurity of the Blood.
This compound will be found a great promoter
of health, 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 are nipped in the bud
Multitudes can. by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions
and ulcerous 8res. 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 the vitia
ted blood whenever you find its impurities burst
ing through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sorts;
cleanse it whon you find it is obstructed and slug
gish in tho veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul,
and your feelings will tell you when. Even where
no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better
health, ond live longer, for cleansing the-blood.
Keep the body healthy, and all is well; but with
this pabulum of life disordered, there can be
no lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and tho 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 egrcgiously 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
ooncentrrted extracts of it, contain but littlo of
tho virtue of 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 upon the sick, for they not only
contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla. but often no cu
rative properties whatever. Hcnce.bitterand pain
ful disappointment has followed the use of the va
rious extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the mar
ket, until the name itself is justly despised, and
hasbecomesynonymous with imposition and cheat.
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 irrefutable by
the ordinary ran of the diseases it is intendod to
cure. In order to secure their complete cradica.
tion from the system, the remedy should be judi.
ciously taken according to directions on the bottle.
