THE JOURNAL. CLEARFIELD, PA., MAKCII SO, 1859. We direct attention to the advertisement of Carr, Giese & Co., Lumber, Flour, Grain and Seed Commission Merchants and Dealers in Salt, Plaster, Cement, &c, Baltimore, Md. A Ciiange. Capt. Daniel M. TYeaver has left the Mansion Ilouse in this town, and his place is to be taken by Mr. McMonigal, for merly of the Exchange Hotel, Tyrone, Pa. The Ro.vds in Clearfield county have been In a most miserable condition this spring, so ranch so that they are almost impassable. A little attention and repairing at the proper time, would do much toward keeping themjn fcood order. "Flittis" Df.r. Day alter to-morrow is the 1st of April, and is in this country general 'flittin" or moving time. Such of our sub scribers as change their place of residence, will please notify us, so that we can send their papers to the proper place. The attention of the river-men is directed to the card of Mr. L. R. Deeg, who has taken the Washington Ilouse, in Middletown, Dau phin county, formerly kept so well by Mrs. Grifiee. Mr. Dceg is said to be a very clover and accommodating landlord, and has the rep utation of keeping a first rate house. Fardoxed. We loam that Gov. Packer has pardoned Francis Peters, who was convicted at the last November Term of the Quarter Sessions of Clearfield county, of stealing a horse of Benjamin Davenport, of Fox town ship, facts having sinco come to light showing thtt he was not guilty of the charge upon which he was convicted. A Mistake. A few days siuce, having a slight cold, we were just thinking what to take, lor it, when who should drop into our office but our townsman Dr. A. M. Hills, and handed us a bottle labeled "Loudon's Indian Expec torant." Pouring out a pretty large doze, we swallowed it, and smacked our lips, when to our surprise we disco vt red it to be pure grape juice, which some people, from force of habit, we presume, will periist in calling "wine." Whether it cured our cold or not, we leave to be inferred, but have no hesitating in saying that the 'Expectorant" wasn't "hard to take." The Dr. will please accept our thanks. Look Oct! We were shown a few days since what purports to be a $2 bill on the Mys tic Bank, Connecticut. Vignette man and woman at well; a 2 at each upper corner, the impression of two silver dollars at the lower left corner, and a female figure at the lower right corner. The engraving appears to be that of a genuine plate, with the exception of the words "Mystic" in the name of the hank, and "Connecticut" at the top of the bill, the shading of which is imperfect, and the words are in crooked. No doubt the same plate will lo filled up with the names of other banks. Persons had better examine all two dollar bills closely before taking them. Gettixo Back. We observe that some of our raftsmen are getting home again, but the bnlk of them are yet "down the river." We arc glad to learn that comparatively little loss will result from the breaking loose of rafts at Lock Haven and other points, during the btorm of Friday night a-week. We are also pleased to hear that the prices of lumber are .good, and that we are in a fair way of once more having some money in circulation in our county. A friend, writing to us from Middle town, says ho has "no doubt but that there will be more mojiey taken back from what lumber has been taken down, than if it had all been hauled and run to market." And really it is high time, fr during the past three years the "spondulix" have been as scarce as "hen's teeth," and another year of money famine would have caused "shut up shop." many a poor wight to Who is He ? We find in the Harrisburg Telegraph, of the 2Gth March, the following: "Seeing the Sights." A jolly waterman from Clearfled county, who visited the Capital for tho first time yesterday, in strolling about town this afternoon, dropped into our sanctum in search of aClearfied paper. Being social and communicative, we engaged him in con versation, in the course of which he informed us that last evening he fell in with an individ "tial who represented himself to be from the North Branch, and the owner of two or three rafts. Rather prepossessed in the strangei's favor, and being anxious to "see tne signts, lie willingly accepted an invitation to accom pany him around town on a tour of observa tion. They visited various institutions, and imbibed freely, until our Clearfield visitor Accumulated more "bricks in his hat" than he was able to carry, becoming "obfuscated" to uch a degree as to render hitn a perfect "Know Nothing." On coming to his senses towards morning, he found himself occupy ing a somewhat humiliating position on the loor step of the tavern where he stopped. ilis"friend."bowever,wasamongthe missing, and upon examination ho discovered that bis pocket book had vanished also. Having ob tained no clue to either durtnjr the day, he concluded that he had been victimized by his companion of the night previous "tho owner f two or three rafts." We concurred in that r;nirtn. and advised him, in his future visits n iTarrishiirir. not to form acquaintance too lmtily with strangers. He said one night's experience satisfied him, and "ho rather thought his first trip down tho river should be his last." Being well known among the wf R-onMi lumbermen, he readily obtained .r.. r.r- m. wav home, and will leave to- night in the Northern Central train for Wil- liamsport." A very fishy story is that told of J ohn Frank lin, of Litchfield, Conn., that when his father, on returning home from church, threatened to thrash John because bo had gazed np at the rafters of the frame church (not ceiled or plastered) the young scamp, after asking his father if be could repeat the sermon, and de cidedly cornering tho old gentleman, not only himself named the text and went through all the beads of discourse, accurately, but added "and now father, I can tell you just how many beams and rafter are Jn the meeting house."
