The members of the Committee are request
ed to meet in Clearfield borough on Saturday
the 30th day of July, at 4 o'clock P. M., to
fix the time for holding a Convention for nom
inating a People's County Ticket, and to trans
act some other business. S. B. Row,
Clearfield, July 20th. Chairman.
Last Wednesday was the hottest day wc have
had in Clearfield this season. The mercury
rose in the thermometers to 98 in the shade.
Camp Meeti.no. By referring to a notice in
another column it will be seen that a camp
meeting, commencing on the 10th August,
will be held on the farm of Mr. Jacob Flegal
in Goshen township.
The warm weather of the past week, and the
copious showers of Friday, have given the
growing corn a fine start and inspired our far
mers with new hopes. Tho buckwheat will
nlso be much benefitted.
Removal of the Jolbnal Office. We give.
our friends notice that on next Saturday we
expect to remove the Journal Office to the
new building nearly opposite our present lo
cation, on Market street.
A Straxge Visitor. On Monday forenoon
a real, genuine porcupino, leisurely walked
down Second atreet, and whilst taking a delib
erate view of things in general, was discover
ed by several of our citizens, who at once sur
rounded, and after driving him into Moore's
More, captured an1 caged him. lie has his
bristles up considerably about the matter.
PnAisEwoBTiiv. An effort is being made to
have the public grounds along the river bank
fenced in, trees planted and other improve-1
ments made. A considerable sum of money
has already been subscribed, and we have no
doubt that the work will be pushed vigorously.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon
those who arc taking an active part in this
movement.
Mr. riiilip Antes, of Lawrence township,
has a Grape vine growing on his premises, on
which the spring shoots were all killed by the
frost of the 4th of June. As soon as new buds
made their appearance, he cut off the frozen
Krtion, and it is now in a thriving condition,
and nearly as full of blossoms as it was pre
vious to being frozen ; with a fair prospect of
a crop of grapes.
We would call the attention of onr readers
to the advertisement of Clark's Philadelphia
Gift Book Establishment, found in another col
umn of today's paper. The references given
by this concern are of the highest order, and
warrant the belief that business is done by this
house on tho principle of integrity and honor.
See the advertisement, and send for a cata
Iogue,which will be mailed free to any person.
A union Celebration of the Mt. Pleasant,
Oak-grove, Glen Hope and Ginters Sabbath
Schools, took place on the 4th, in the vicinity
of the Mt. Pleasant nchool-house. Addresses

ecluration of Independence read by Mr. Ilob-
.in. An excellent dinner was also properly
ilisposed of. We received the account of the
proceedings after our paper was issued last
fwfck, and as their publication- at this lata day
swoiua uimmisa inexr interest, wo muuut a
brief abstract would suffice.
Death trom Srx -stroke. On last Wednes-
lay the 13th instant, a young man named Wra.
'ownall, son of Jonas Pownall, of Bradford
oweship, this county, whilst working in a bar
est field in the vicinity of Tyrone, received a
un-stroke,which resulted in his death in about
alf an honr after. He was brought home and
tiricd on Thuisday in Kyler's burial ground.
On the same day, Mr, Andrew J. McBride,
ltilst cradling grain, about two miles east of
lis place, was prostrated by the heat, and Mr.
jhn Cessna, working Tn tho samo field, was
so compelled to quit for the same reason.
We have been informed that a field of wheat
Jvued by Mr. Josiah Wain of Pcnn township,
1 liich was so much injured by the late frost
lat it was entirely destroyed, and therefore
at down for feed, immediately commenced
routing, has blossomed, and unless yet in
sred in some way, has every prospect of
; idling a good crop. We hear of other fields,
wVi were not cut, where new sprouts have
' finng up and are likely to produce good
In. These facts are worth noting, and may
.Ve toguido farmers should they in future
their grain fields damaged in a similar
nncr. .

action is coming on, we find that quite a
limber of Democrats -have annouueed their

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been called to statements made
through the public journals, by a New York Gift
Sto c, which are calculated to deoeive; who even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may sny honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, "The Oldest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting tho business, but for stock to oommenco
with, and a place to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is '-The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faiso.
It has been thought, on account of the name
oonncctcd with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise ; but it is
not so, and I wish it distinctly understood, that I
am not in any way responsible fox their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are cqnducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States having es
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, by constant labor, unwearied application,
and largo expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the public and myself to expose these pre
tended '-originators," who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. I would here publicly state
that theso parties have been referring, without
authority or permission, tQ tho largest and most
widely known publishing house in the Lnited
Kifi I m informed by this firm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only havo they never
riven permission to this New York Gift Store to
refer to them, but they utterly disclaim any knowl
f their business or standing. Tho fore
going can bo substantiated to the satisfaction of

Curwcnsville, Ta., May 13. 1S59.
SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of tho
blood, by which thi3 fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may bursteut in disease on
any part of it. No organ is-freo frcm its-attacks,
nor is thero one which it may not destroy. Tho
scrofulous taint is variously caused by luercurittt
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and, above all. by tho venereal infec
tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in tho
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it
seems tube the rod of Him who says. -I will visit
tho iniquities of the fathers- on thair children."
Deflects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter,wbioh, in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles ; io
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
ders in tho blood, depresses the energie3of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand the attacks of other diseases ; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not scrofulous in their nature, are still
rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Moot
of tho consumption which dcccminatcs tho human
family has its origin directly in thisscrofu!oue-co-taiuiuation;
and many destructive diseases of tho
liver, kiducys, brain, and indeed, of al 1 thTrgans,
arise from or aro aggravated by the same causa.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons arc invaded by thbi lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it; To cleanso
it from the system wo must renovutthc blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine wc supply ia
Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsujvrrila,
the most effectual remedy which the medical skill
of our times can devise for this every where pre
vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from tho
most active reincdials that have been discovered
for tho expurgation of this foul disorder from tho
blood, and the rescue of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Hence it should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also thoso
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyjpcpsia, Debility,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. The popular belief in uimpnri
'V of the Hood'' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpo3o
and virtue of the Sarsnparilla is to purify ami re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AYER'S C ATU ARTIC PILLSVr all the purpo
ses of a family physic, are so cuniposed that dis
ease within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every
portion of the bumau ergantsm, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities-.
Asa consequence of these properties, t'neinalul
who is bowed down with pain or physical debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and dan
gerous diseases. The agent below named is pleas
ed to furnish gratis my American Almanac con
taining certificates of taeii cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cos
tiveiiess, Heartburn, Headache, arising from dis
ordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion. Pain
and Morbid Inaction of the liontls, Flatulency,
Ijoss of ApjK titc, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, lor the rapid
euro of Coughs. Colds,. Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, a iid far
the relief of Consumptive- Putients in adnaneed
stages of the disease. So wide is the field "of is
usefulness and so numerous- are the eases ef iti
cures, that almostevcry section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, wh kve been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases ot"
tho lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi
ority over every other medicine of its kir.d is too
apparent to escape observation, and wheie its vir
tues are known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for tho distrcs ing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that aro in
cident to our climate. W'hilc many inferior reme,
dies thrust upon the community have faired au4
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they car
never forget, and produced eures too auueroas
and too remarkable ever to bo forgotten -
