THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., AUG. 10, 1859.
Removal The Raftsman's Journal ' office
has been removed to the second story of Rob
ins' new building, on Market street, nearly op
posite our former location. . , . jalyS.
An Agricultural meeting will be held in Cur
wensville on Saturday. -.See advertisement.
Attention is directed to a number of new
advertisement that appear In to-day's Journal
Eekatcm. -In a part of onr issue we hare
inadvertently nsed the word Wasp instead ol
Peacock, in the .Keminiscenccs."
Nkw Miix. We see that Mr. Archibald
Shaw, Jr., of this place, has commenced the
erection of a new flouring mill on his nronertv
w
adjoining town on the north-east, alongside of
his saw-mill. The foundation is nearly com
pleted, and the material for the superstructure
is being rapidly prepared. .
( Last Wednesday afternoon, as Col. George
C. Passmore, of Tike township, was about
leaving our town, one of his horses, which he
had just traded for, grew, fractious, and in
kicking, foil across and broke the r tongue of
Ins wagon. The Col. had to go home and
come down the next morning, with another
horse, for the wagon.
Somethixg '.New. .No doubt many of our
readers are aware that onr friend Thomas Rob
ins has erected a new and creditable building
oil the lot adjoiniDg the "Clearfield House
and we would take this opportunity, to say,
that he has just received and Opened a general
assortment I Groceries, CohfecUonarics, To
bacco, Cigars, &c, which bo is selling at rea
sonable prices, lie also keeps on hand and
for sale Bacon, Flour by the barrel, and a va
riety of choice liqnors, which he will sell at
rates to suit the times. Give him a call and
try his articles. His advertisement will ap
pear next week.
A Good Jos. It is really surprising to see
tie great degree of perfection which has been
attained in the making of artificial teeth. A
lew days since we were shown a set made for
a lady of Curwensville, by Dr. A. M. Hills,
dentist, of this place, which for beauty, work
manship and completeness surpass anything
of the kind we have seen for some time. The
set is entire for both jaws, and the teeth are
t endered more than usually firm and secure by
being capped or "rimmed." If we hadn't the
good fortune to have a couple rows of superior
natural grinders," we would by all means pro
cure a set like the one mentioned.
Democratic Nomination's. Tho returns of
tho Democratic primary election held in this
connty last Saturday, were made yesterday,

tions :

Scrape aboci a Horse. On the 27th July,
n gray Ierc was taken lroro the pasture field
of A. W. Heath, Eq., of Fox township, and
found next clay in Brockwayville with John
J. Stewart, who had locked him up. Whilst
Stewart was being arrested, his son took the
dorse down Little L&by creek. Stewart broke
loose from the officer, but after being followed
to New York. State, was re-arrested near el
fast, lie waived the" right ol having a hearing
there, and those who had him in custody,
-tart ed back with him. As they were passing
through Hickory Kingdom, on the line of Elk
and deal field counties, where Stewart had at
one time resided, twenty or more men collect
ed and declared that ho should be released,
.and after following some f ight miles, did suc
ceed in rescuing him from his captors. War
rants we understand, have been issued for the
.arrest of .fifteen of Ihe rioters. Stewart, we
yjelieo-ejias entered bail for lin appearance at
. . . .
it he next term ot oarooun. Air. xicaiu nau
purchased the horse as the property of Stew
fiirt's son, and it is probable the old gentleman
JUias got into this scrape by following the ad
wice of Lad counsellors. '
Accidejit. We have been furnished with
?he following particulars of an accident which
: iccurrcd between New Millport and Curwens
ville. Mr. Siill and Mr. Slaysnian went in
fcompany to New Millport, on the day named,
to Mr. Still's appointment. After preacliing
in the evening they returned, and as they
were ascending the hill after pressing the
River near Mr. Henry Hiles, the 1wse, in at
jiiteropting to shun a deep rut in the centre of
the road, went too near the edge, and they
.were precipitated Uwn the embankment,' es
timated to be 60 feet. The icarriage fell on
Mr. Slaysman and braised his limbs badly.
Theorse, alter struggling to avoid falling,
Jost his foot-hold, and rol&ogwn the era
lsjkjnent, passed over Mr. "Still as he was ly
ing where he was thrown, but as tho descent
was very steep his Whole weight was not upon
him, or he would have probably been killed.
The extent of Mr. Stitt's injuries cannot yet
be determined, liu,t it is hoped they are not
permanent or of a fatal character. His most
screro sufferings have yielded to timely med
ical treatment, bat he is yet unable to leave
his bed or to bit up longer than a few moments
at a time, We regret that he has thus sud
denly bees taken from his ministerial and ed
ucational labors, to toth of which he Is uiuch
devoted. -
Clearfield Skill Tiiu'mi'itant. Patient
application . and careful investigation must
sooner or later result iu the fruition of ones
hopes, the production of, some useful inven
tion and the increase of the sum total of hu
man conveniences. Those who have become
benefactors of mankind by pushing "to a suc
cessful end projects, at the outset of their ca
reer, deemed the tagaries of an over-heated
imagination, have invariably met with fierce
and decided opposition: but at last genius,
surmounting every obstacle, presented to the
doubting world a spinning jenny, a-itearn en
gine or a sewing machine, and a halo of glory
ever after surrounded the name of the fortu
nate inventor. Merit never receives it meed
of praise until an unwilling people are forced
to yield it. These remarks have been appli
cable to all times and places of late they
seem to have more force than formerly, be
cause of the many candidates for popular ar
planse. Our observations had rise in witnes
sing the successful experimental trial of a nov
elty which ere long will be found on all the
farms and in all the gardens where its worth
becomes known. How trifling a circumstance
produces the most astounding results. The
failing of an apple made Newton's name as fa-miliar-to
tho civilized world as household
words (not Dickens'.) The accidental burn
ing of a shanty and roasting alive of a young
porker, introduced and fostered in China, a
tasto for that delicious compound of fat and
muscular fibre, if Elia's relation is to be cred
ited. And the discovery of so insignificant a
thing as a fulcrum enabled Archimedes to
move the world out of position and advance
the seasons four months, if we have not mis
read the ancient authors. A wallow on Mar
ket street, one of our most public roads, has
long been an eye-sore to our community and
a stench in their nostrils. To fill it would re
quire a lew loads of diit and some manual la
bor. This would involve an outlay of money
and be a work of time perhaps of 15 or 20
minutes. Could this be done without subject
ing men to labor uifder a boiling sun 1 Hap
py thought ! Whilst some murmured, our
Borough . fathers, regardless of their com- )
plaints, kept their own councils,- perfected j
their plans, removed the ony obstacle by re
pealing the hog law and last week the experi
ment was tried, immediately in front of the
council room,which demonstrated beyond per
advcntnie,that side walks could be torn up and
levelled without the expenditure of money,
manuat labor or those mechanical Torces usu
ally employed. So successful was tho trial
that we doubt not on farms the bar-shear and
sub-soil ploughs will be abandoned in gar
dens the spade will be thrown aside and this
unique pulverizer and mover of the soil will
be substituted. Our lack of mechanical knowl
edge and terms prevents us doing justice by a
description of this novelty. We can only say
it requires no manager or overseer to direct it
the less it is interfered with the more thor
oughly it does its work. Even a "self-setting
dog" is not necessary, any common dog can
keep it straight or set it in motion. Those
who desire to avail themselves of it had bet
ter examine, before purchasing. One doz
en or more can be seen at any time upon
our streets, in operation. It is called the
edible-root-raiser
grub-externiinator-and-porcine-sod-turner."
Long may it flourish, a monument of the skill
and wisdom of Clearfield Borough.
Female ScrraACE is Kansas. In the Con
stitution formed lor Kansas, women are allow
ed to vote in school matters. They may vote
for school officers, school taxes, and every
thing pertaining to the organization of the
Common Schools, equally with men. Confer
ring this much of the elective franchise npon
females is intended as an experiment. We
believe that females are allowed to vote in
school matters in Canada and Louisiana.

Leavenworth on the 2d inst., with $G00 in

Mr. Latham's nomination for Governor of
California is regarded as a positive triumph
over the Administration, he having been re
moved from the Collectorship of San Francis
co. He is a follower of Judge Douglas.
About the hardest case of frost bitten wheat
is related by the Detroit Tribune, of a farmer
who sold fourteen acres of wheat the day af
ter the June frost for SC5. The buyer after
wards refused $400 for it.
When yoit have any thing to do, go ahead
and do it. A man who has the option of two
roads, either of which will take him to his
journey's end, must not stand too long in con
sidering which to take.
That is indeed a twofold knowledge which
profits alike by the wisdom of the wise and the
folly of the foolish. It borrows its security
from the darkness, and its confidence from
the light.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has boen called to statements made
through the publie journals, by a New York Gift
Sto e, which are calculated to deceive; who even
presume to advertise themselves as the originators
of the Gift Book Enterprise, which was first suc
cessfully established, and I may say honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, -The01dest in the business,"
are indebted to me, not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, but for stock to commence
with, and a place to commence in. Their state
ment, that this is "The fifth year of their location
in New York," is also faisc
It has been thought, on account of tho name
connected 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 for their deceptive
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New
York Gift concerns are conducted. And holding
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gilt
Book Enterprise in the United States having es
tablished it and brought it to its present high po
sition, by constant laoor, unwearied application,
and large expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the rublio and myself to expose these pre
tended '-originators," who ore attempting to im
pose upon tbe people. I would here publicly state
that these parties have been referring, without
authority or permission, to the largest and most
widely known publishing house in the United
States. I am in'brmed by this firm, which is lo
cated in this city, that, not only have they never
given permission to this New York Gift Stora to
rcler totuem, but they utterly disclaim any knowl
edge of their, business or standing. Tho for-'i
going can be' substantiated to the satisfaction of ,
any person of persons, by the most incontroverti
ble proofs: July II, lS59-6m.

JOHN IRVIN,

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in tho circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in discaso on
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy
food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depres
sing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infec
tion. Whatever bo its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed it
seems to be the rod of Him who says. "I will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon thoirchildren."
It effects commence by deposition from tho blood
of eorrupt and ulcerous matter, hioh. in the lungs,
liver, aud internal organs, is termed tubercles; ip
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sorfs. This foul corruption, which ren
ders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so
that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from
scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power
to withstand tbo 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 svstem. Most
of the consumption which deceminates the human
ramiiy has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination; and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination.
ana meir ueaiui is undermined by it. in cleanse
it from the system wo must renovate the blood bv
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound Extract of Sitrsaparitla,
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 the
most active remedial? that have been discovered
lor the expurgation of this foul disorder from tho
blood, and the rescuo'of the system from its des
tructive consequences. Honcc ft should be employ
ed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also thoso
Jlcad, lungworui, Rheumatism. Syphilitic nrnl
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia. Drbitity,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Blood. Thepopular belief iu "imvuri-
ty oj the blood is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpose
and virtue of the Sars.iparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS, for all the purno
srs of a family phytic, are so comDosed 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 human organism, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
as a consequence ot these properties, the inalM
who is bowed down with pain or rhvtdcal debil
ity is astonished to find his health or energy re
stored by a remedyat once sosimpleand invitin--Not
