    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."

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."
