THE 'JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. 14, 1859.
PEOPLE'S MEETING.
A meeting of the People's Party will be
held in the Court House in Clearfield Borough,
on Wednesday evening, Sept. 2Sth, (Court
week.) Hon. A. G. Curtin, Col. L. W. Hall,
oar candidate for the State Senate, Isaac G.
Gordon, Esq., one of our candidates for the
Assembly, and others will bo present to ad
dress the meeting.
We Iiave been requested to say that Elder
Lanning will preach in the Court House, on
Friday evening next.
Persons wishing to purchase clocks, watch
es, jewelry, &c, had better read n. F. Nau
gle's advertisement, as he has just received
a large stock ot at tides in his line.
IIimseeed Iron. It is a universally admit
ted fact that hammered, or wrought iron, is
superior to any other kind for durability and
toughness. For all ordinary purposes in which
lion is used, there is nothing that surpasses
this description. To procure it at a conve
nient point, and thus save much in the way of
freight, is a matter of no little moment. Those,
therefore, who wish to procure this kind of
iron, will doubtless be gratified to learn that
Messrs. Hetherlin & Co., have taken the old
Alleghany Forge near I'hilipsburg, and are
now prepared to supply all who may waut any
thing in their line of business on short notice.
Tue CaEssoN UorsE Robuery. On the 10th
of January last some $300 worth ot bedding,
knives, &c, were stolen from the Cresson
House in Cambria county. Our readers will
no doubt remember that George Xeagle and
John Orncr, Jr., were arrested in this county
about four weeks ago, charged with the of
fence, and that they were taken from here by
the Sheriff of Cambria. Last week the two
persons named, as well as John Orner, Sr., Wil
liam Xe'.ius and Porter Orncr were tried in
the Quarter Sessions of that county. George
Xeagle and John Orner, Jr., were found guil
ty of the larceny, and William Melius guilty
of receiving the gocds, knowing them to he
t-tolen. John Orner, Sr., and Porter Orner
were declared not guilty.
Horse Tiiievks About. Last Wednesday
night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a bold vil
lain entered the stable of Dr. M. Wood in this
Borough, and stole his horse, saddle and bri
dle. The theft was not discovered until next
morning, when a number of persons started in
pursuit. In the afternoon the horse was found
running abont at or near the Sandy Ridge ho
tel beyond Pbilipsburg, and it is thought the
animal had Iroken loose while the thief was
taking a rest in the woods in the neighbor
hood.' The thief lias thus far eluded capture.
During the time of the holding of the c.-imp-Dieetitig
near Turner's in Bradford township,
in the beginning of last week, a mare belong
ing to Mr. James Mead, we believe, "turned
up missing," but was found the next day on
Clearfield Creek, in the vicinity of Mr. Alex
ander Dixon's.
Caise of the Aurora Borealis. M. de la
Rive, the celebrated French astronomer, ex
plains the production ol the Aurora Borealis
4ii the loliowing manner: "WJien the sun,
Laving passed into the southern hemisphere,
i:0 longer heats our atmosphere, the aqueous
vapors which have accumulated during the
tinnier in this part of the atmosphere begin
to condense, the kind of humid cap enveloping
the polar regions extends more and more, and
facilitates the passage of electricity accumu
lated in the upper portions of the air. But in
this elevated region, and especially at this
period of the 3" ear. the aqueous vapors must
most frequently pass into the state of minute
particles of ice or snow floating in the air,
himilar to those which give rise to the haJos :
they form, as it were, a kind of semi-transparent
mist. These half frozen fogs conduct
the electricit3 to the surface ol" the earth,
near the pole, and are, at the same time, illu
minated l3" these currents or electric dischar
ges. In fact all observers agree in asserting
tii.it the aurora borealis is constantly preceded
lr: a mist, which rises from the pole, and the
margin of which, less dense than the remain
i der, is colored the first; and, indeed, it is
i vi-ry irequeni near ine poie in ine winter
mo n tli s, ana especially in those where tnere is
an abundance of vapor in the air.
Ki ropeax News. By the steamship Euro
) we have three days' later intelligence from
Europe. The representatives of France and
Austria at Zurich had agreed upon an arrange
ment of all questions touching Lombardy, in
iiich the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries concur
red. Tha Conference would probably con
clude its business early in the present month,
leaving the question ol Central lt-jy to be
''ibaequenlly disposed of. Letters from Vien
' intimate an apprehension that the real dif--ci:!ties
of the Itallian question would not be
surmounted at Zurich, and siys that seven of
the twelve Austrian corps d'armee are to be
kept on a war footing, and that the furloughs
tlie troops now in Italy are to be suspended,
dictator Farini had issued a decree abolishing
'f.e Cusloms' line between Parma and Modcna.
A council of Ministers at Turin, over which
King Tictor Emanuel presided,. had decided
'iiat the allied Powers, and particularly France
MiouIJ be consulted before the provinces de
v;ring annexation to Piedmont were accepted.
A number ot prominent Venetians, sent as
rq resentatives to the European Powers, had
issued a long address setting forth the oppres-?-
r.s of Austria since the cessation of hostil
ities. It is said that Prussia now favors a
Congress. The Cabinet of St. Petersburg is
Jiid to be divided on the Italian question,
lanyofthe eminent exiles from France had
'' cliiicd to avail themselves of Louis Napo
leon's amnesty. The.Senate of Belgium was
to have convened on the 30th ult., to pro
nounce on the Antwerp fortifications.
It is a pretty well established conviction
!iat the extravagance of these times in dress,
housekeeping matters &c. tends to the pre-v,-ntion
of marriage. Shrewd young men aro
careful and cautions about undertaking the
yard and clothing of young women. As an
instance, the Cincinnati Enquirer has been
furnished, by the clerk of the Probate Court,
ith the marriage licenses issued in Hamilton
county, during the last eight years, which
' jw a falling oft in 1859 from 182 of 285,
and from 1854 933. When we consider that
the population of the cpy has probably atie
aonted 80,000 during the eight years, this de
crease is very remarkable, and well calculated

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of the
bloo4, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease ou
any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks,
nor is there one which it may not destroy. The
scrofulous taint u variously caused by mercurial
disoasc, 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 be its origin, it is hereditary in the
constitution, descending from parents "to children
unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed it
seems to bo the rod of Him who says. ! will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon thairchildrcn."
It cflcets commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter,whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ii
the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup
tions or sores. This foul corruption, which gen
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 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. Most
of the consumption which deccminatcs the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination . and many destructive diseases of tha
liver, kidneys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise trom or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
persons are invaded by this lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system wc must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Aycr's Compound Kjctrart. of Snrsaparilla,
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 rcmcdials that hafe becu discovered
for tho expurgation of this foul disorder from the
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 those
other affections which arise from it, such as Erup
tive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose,
or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains
and Boils. Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and
Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility,
and, indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitiated
or Impure Llood. The popular belief in "impuri
ty of the blood"1 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.
AYE R'S C ATI1 ARTIC PI LLS. for all the pnrpo
ses of a family physic, are so composed 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 cf tho human organism , correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the rnalid
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 cvery-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 their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cos
tiveness, Heartburn, Headache, arising from ttts
orderd Stomnrh, Nausea. Indigestion. Pain in
and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency,
Loss of Appitite, Jaundice,' and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, lor the rapid
euro of Coughs, Colds, Inftttenza, Hoarseness,
Croup. Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced
stasres of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous are the cases of its
cures, that almost every section of country abounds
in persons publicly known, w ho have been restor
ed from alarming and even desperate diseases of
the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superi
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation-, and where its vir
tues are known, the public no longer hesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. While many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can
never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable ever to be forgotten.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS
My attention has been 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 originator
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, '-TheOldest in the business,"
are indebted to mc, not only for their first ideas of "
conducting the business, but for stock to eommenco
with, and a place to commence in. Their state- "
ment, that this is -The fifth year of their location '.
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thought, on account of tho naruo
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'i
am not in nuy way responsible for their deceptive'
advertisements, nor for the manner in which New ?
York Gift concerns arc conducted. And holding-
the position I do, as the Originator of the Gift
