THE JOUEML.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JULr C, 1839.
E02T. JAMES EUB1TSIDE.
"What can be more startling than the bell at
midnight or the quick and Impetuous knock
ing at the door when all the inmates have sank
to rest. The sleeper starts from his slumber,
his heart beats rapidly, spasmodically, and his
breath is labored. An indescribable appre
hension of eTil seizes the half aroused, h bo
knows that such sounds are enly omens of bad
portent. Shortly after midnight, on Sabbath
morning last, messengers reached this town
conveying to our citizens the sad intelligence
that Lis Honor James Durnside, President
Judge of this district, had been thrown from a
carriage, within sight of his own door, and in
stantly killed. The members of the Clearfield
bar, officers of the court, and some of Judge
Burnsides intimate friends, were aroused and
informed of the casualty, and they at once
convened at the house of J. L. Cuttle, Esq.,
and made arrangements to send a few of their
number to Eellefontc, to pay the last tribute
of respect to the memory of the deceased.
This informal meeting was a large one and did
credit to the living and the dead. Wordy and
meaningless eulogies were not resorted to.
All were awed. AH felt that in tbo midst of
life we are in death, and showed their loss and
the depth of their sorrow by griefs truest and
most expressive badge silence. The loss of
one of our most valued citizens, under circum
stances as appalling, could not have caused
more gloom to overspread onr community,
than has the announcement of the death of
Judge Bnrnside created. Judge Burnside was
in the flower of manhood, full of life, health
and hope. He had just finished his labors in
attending court at this place and returned to
the bosom of bis family, which be almost idol
ized, when this sad accident befel him. 1 1 is
urbanity and many noble qualities had tmdear
liim to our community, and his loss creates a
" void which cannot be filled.
The deceased was. the son of the lamented
Thomas Burnside, first President Judge of
thin district and one of the Justices of the Su
preme court. He was born in Centre county
ubout the year 1S08 received a collegiate ed
ucation, afterwards studied law which he prac
tised for some years with much success. He
was twice elected a member of the Assembly.
During thctinic" he represented Centre coun
ty in the legislature he became acquainted
with and married his amiable wife, a daughter
of Gen. Simon Cameron. In 18-3 he receiv
ed the nomination of the Democratic part' for
President Judge of this district and was elect
id wi'hout opposition. As a lawyer Judge
Burnside enjoyed and deserved an excellent
reputation. As a Judge he had taken his fa
ther for a model. Quick in forming conclu
sions, possessed of prejudices which inipor
ceptably controlled him, he sometimes seem
ed too much the advocate whilst acting as
judge but all freely admit that whether right
r wrong in the positions ho had taken ; he
was conscientious in the discharge of his du
ty and that no venal influence ever swayed
him. His exemplary conduct, his fine attain
ments, his lively interest in all matters aflcct
ing the public weal, his warm heart and social
jualities must add to the sorrow his'rlends
feel. To say that he was faultless would be
to deny his humanity. His friends wi(l for
get his foibles in tho remembrance of his
many virtues.
.
Particulars of the Death of Judge Burnside.
When, last Wednesday, Hon. James Burn
fcidc, President Judge of this District, left our
town, we little dreamed that in one week wc
would be called upon to announce his death,
brought about in a most appalling manner. It
seems that on Friday evening, whilst enjoying
the society of his family and friends, in front
of his residence in Bellelonte, a buggy, con
taining his sister, Mr6. Mann, and her son,
drove tip to the door. The horse, being a fine
one, was admired, and a ride was proposed to
Judge Burnside. He at first refused on the
ground that the horse had that day broken a
buggy and wa3 not safe, but his sister having
remarked that she thought he had spirit e
nough to ride where she was not afraid to, he
entered the buggy, and whilst his nephew was
untying the hitching strap, the horse started,
at a furious speed" down the street, towards
Spring creek. The J udgo caught up the reins,
but was unable to check- the career of the
horse, and as he. made the turn up the street
leading to the Lewistowa turnpike the right
. lore wheel of the buggy bursted, and tho
t-pokes falling out, let the buggy fall on the
point of the axle. The Judge was thrown out
with much violence on his head and chest,
causing concussion of the brain, and a flow of
blood from the ears, from which instantaneous
death ensued, in the sight of his wife and rel
atives. His watch was detached from his per
son by the force of the fall the case lodging
In one place, and the works in another and
Btopping, told, if correct, that the time of the
foul's departure from its earthly tabernacle,
was 20 minutes of eight o'clock. Many events
may have occurred in Bellcfontc to impress
upon the mindi of .men the uncertainty of life
and the certainty of death, but never has any
thing occurred that so much appalled, and
cast such a general gloom upon, the people of
that place, and the large circle of acquaintan
ces and friends of Judge .Burnside in the
neighboring counties.
His remains were interred on Sunday in the
beautiful cemetery near Bellefonte, followed
by nt least 1500 to 2000 persons, at about 5 o'
clock, p. m. The funeral sermon was preach
ed in the forenoon by Rev. Mr. Field in the
St. John's Episcopal church, nis Honor, A.
S. Wilson, of the Mifflin district, twelve mem
bers of the Clinton Bar, a delegation from the
Clearfield Bar, accompanied by Hon. James
T.Leonard, and the members of the Belle
fonte Bar, were in attendance at the funeral.
Hon. Simon Cameron, the father of Mrs. Burn
fiide, and all the J udges relatives were present.
' We are requested fo st.f that Elder Lan
ning will preach tiext Sabbath at 10 o'clock A.
A. in Centre school-house, and a 3 o'clock P.
M. in Welch's school-house.
Divise Service. We have been requested
to state, that by Divine permission the Ecv. T.
Van Scoyoc will preach in the Baptist church
ia Clearfield, on Sunday, the 10th of July in
stant, at 11 o'clock, a. u.
Deowsed Wc regret to learn that Albert
Jury, a son of Mr. Adam Jury; aged about 16
years, living with Hon. Peter Lamm in Girard
township, was drowned in the Kiver, at tho
mouth of Deer creek, on Sunday the 3d insf.
It appears that he had taken a horse into the
River, and. from some unknown cause, fell
backwards off the animal. He made scarcely
an effort to save himself, and when bis body
was recovered about an hour and a half after
wards, he still grasped the whip in his hand.
His remains were interred at Bald Hills on
Monday.
Fire. On Tuesday afternoon, June 28tb,
the dwelling and store house of Mr. William
Lumadue, of Boggs township, was destroyed
by fire, together with all bis household effects
and most of the store goods. The loss is es
timated at from $2,000 to $3,000 no insn
rance. The loss" will be seriously felt by Mr.
Lumadue, as nearly all his means were invest
ed in the buildings and store. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from some defect in
the stove-pipe. Mr. Lumadue was asleep in
the house at tho time, and knew nothing of
the fire until he was aroused by some persons
who were at work on the turnpike, a short dis
tance off, and barely escaped with his life.
Fourth of July. No regular celebration of
the 4th came off in either our town or Cur
wensville. In the latter place, the martial and
Saxe-horn bands turned out and played some
patriotic tunes, and in the afternoon the Meth
odist Sabbath School was addressed by Kev.
Mr. Spottswood in an appropriate manner, af
ter which a nice little "treat" of cakes and
confectionaries, hastily prepared for the occa
sion, was indulged in. In Clearfield, "the
soul-stirring notes of the fife and drum" en
livened the town, and about 2 o'clock a split
stick parade of men and boys came ofT. To
wards evening, the children of the Episcopal
Sabbath School were invited to Liberty Spring,
where several ladies had prepared a few of the
"good things" for their benefit.
A correspondent sends us an account of an
affair that transpired in Beccaria township,
which, though of a rather serious nature to one
of the parties interested, must have been
slightly ridiculous. Ho says, that on Sunday
the J Oth of June, some men were in a shanty
at Wheatland Mills, belonging to Mr. Aug.
Kennedy, aud discovered on a shelf a port
monnaie, which contained a five dollar note on
the State Bank at Camden, and a Ten on the
West Branch bank. Directly all left, except
owner of shanty and a Mr. Brown, hailing from
Altoona. Owner of shanty goes out, soon re
turns, thinks he'll put pocket book away, but
! surprised that it has already disappeared.
On Saturday 2-5 h, a search warrant was issued
by J. G- Cain, Esq., and put in hands of Dep
uty constable Morgart to fervc. Meantime
Mr. Brown made preparations to leave for
home. Having to pass through Jancsville,
Deputy stationed himself at hotel, and when
suspected gent appeared, read for his especial
edification a certain document yclept, search
warrant. Gent seemed excited, but requested
leave to retire a moment before going to Jus
tice to be searched. Deputy, polite, tender
hearted, but a little "raw" in this sort of busi
ness, assented afterwards took gent to office
of Justice, search made, all astonished that no
money was found, and gent was discharged,
innocent of being as verdant as the officer
who had him in charge.
Cambria Democracy. The Democrats of
Cambria county have nominated Augustin Dur-
bin for the Senate ; Daniel Litzinger for the
Assembly ; Jos. M'Donald for Prothonotary,
and Philip S. Noon lor District Attorney.
The Johnstown Erha, published by G. X.
Smith, formerly the Democratic member in
the Legislature, makes the. following remarks
in regard to the ticket :
"From the above nominations it would ap
pear that Ebcnsbnrg has been highly favored,
in getting an undue proportion of the candi
dates. The fault, however, is not with Ebens
burg, as a largo majority of the Democrats of
that place did what was right, and wished to
nominate a fair and good ticket.
"We believe a majority of the candidates
nominated are determined to decline, and ask
for a re-assembling of the Convention, that
an opportunity jniay be afforded to correct tho
great error that has been made, by nominating
a ticket that wjll meet the approbation of the
people and mefit their hearty support."
This sounds like rebellion. What does it
mean ? Surely the Democracy of" Cambria
cannot seriously meditate rebellion against tho
decrees of the party! When faithful littlu
Cambria bolts, what may wo next expect to
hear and see ?
Terrible Acciient. A frightful accident
occurred to a train on the Michigan and South
ern Railroad, near South Bend, on the 28th
June, by which from thirty to thirty-five per
sons were killed, and a number wounded.
Tho accident occurred at a point where the
road crosses a culvert, the stream over which
it was built had risen very high,and masses of
drift wood choaked up the culvert,causing the
water to be dammed up around it, and to
weaken the embankment. The night train
from Chicago to the East was proceeding at a
moderate rate of speed, when its weight caus
ed the weakened culvert and embankment to
give way, and the whole train was plunged
into tho flood. The horrors of tho situation,
in tho darkness and the flood ,with the screams
of the suffering, crushed and drowning pas
sengers, cannot be described. There were
about one hundred and fifty passengers on the
train, and at tho last accounts there had been
thirty-four bodies recovered. But others were
missing.who are supposed to have been drown
ed. The number ol wounded is about GS.

er, Geo. L. Cowden ; Director of Foor, Peter
Good ; Auditor, A. M. Lloyd.'
G"The news from the west coutinues to en
courage the most sanguine hopes with regard
to the harvest. It is now confessed on all
sides that the stories ot damage by the frost
in the early part of June were much exaggera
ted, and that not only has the wheat escaped
without injury, but even the corn is not fatal
ly hurt. In many sections of the west where
we were told that tho corn was totally killed,
farmers now write that the crop will be a full
average.
