CLEARFIELD, PA., SEPT. 21, 1859.

Temperance Society will hold their quarterly
meeting on Monday evening the 26th of Sept.
next, at early candle-light, in the Court House.
I. Test, Esq., will address the meeting. The
public is kindly invited to attend.
Sept. 21. G. Puilipp Gcelich, Prest.
Niellograpiis. We are requested to say
that Mr. Purviance has just received a quanti
ty of Xiellograpli paper, on which can be ta
ken a superior toned ambrotypc, suitable for
enclosing in letters and sending by mail with
out additional postage. They cost but 25 cts.
each. Give him an early call.
Scrvetixg. We direct the attention cf per
sons who wish to procure the services of a
Burveyor, to the card of Mr. John Iluidekoper
in our advertising columns. Mr. II., we are
assured, fully understands his business, and
will doubtless render entire satisfaction to
all who may avail themselves of his profes
sional services.
The Weather and Crops. On last Friday
and Saturday We had copious showers of rain
in this county, since which time the atmo
sphere has been much warmer, and the effect
if which has been decidedly bereficial to the
buckwheat and corn crops. Of the former
there will be a large yield; what the .latter
will be, we cannot yet tell, but it is feared that
much of it will not mature fully.
Heligiocs Revival. A religious revival,
which was inaugurated at the camp-meeting
on ex-Sheriff Reed's farm last week, is now
going on in the Methodist church in this place,
and a large number of persons have professed
repentance. We understand that a general
waking up on the subject of religion is going
on all over the county, and that sinners by
scores are teeking the consolations of the gos
pel. Let the good work prosper.
Ix Limco. On last Wednesday, one Charles
Merlin, of Pike township, v.as committed to
Iho jail in this place, charged with stealing a
)jck cloth overcoat, the property of Thomas
Ross, Esq., on the 17th November last, out of
the Mansion House in this borough, then kept
by Capt. D. M. Weaver. Charley is doubtless
now realizing the truth of the 'poickV words :
"fie as prigs what isn't hisen,
When he's eotched must go to prison."
Diabolical Act. We have been informed
that recently some malicious disposed person,
having mixed a quantity of salt with arsenic
or strychnine, pl.tced it on a couple juggles in
n field belonging to Geo. B. Smith, of Girard
township, evidently for the purpose of poison
ing bis live stock. Three of Mr. Smith's
children came very nigh using some of the
salt on a few cucumbers which they had pulled
in a patch close by, but were fortunately pre
vented by one of them remarking that it had a
strange appearance, and that they had better
let it alone. Such an ofTence deserves the se
verest punishment, if willfully committed.
Highway Robbery. On last Wednesday af
ternoon, about 1 o'clock, Mr. James F. Shoop,
of Graham township, was assaulted on the
public road between Kyler's and John Holt's,
by two ruffians, who threw sand in his eyes,
knocked him down, choked him, and then
robbed him of $50 in money all he had with
him. The following day a man named Byron
J. Coonrey was arrested in Philipsbrtrg, and
after a hearing before Jos. McClarren, Esq., of
Decatur township, was committed to our jail,
charged with being one of the men who per
petrated the robbery. Coonrey alleges that
he was not near the place, and that he left
Curwensville, where he had been for some
days previous, at too late an hour to have
reached the locality where the robbery was
committed, at the time designated. Mr.
Shoop, however, thinks he can't be mistaken
about the identity of the man. Coonrey was
to have had a hearing, on a habeas corpus, on
Monday, but as several important witnesses
were absent, the hearing was postponed.
Bold Attempt at Burglary. Last Satur
day night, about 1 o'clock, a daring villain
made an attempt to rob the store of Moore &
Etzweiler, in this borough. He went to one
of the back windows, which opens into the
stairway, and in trying to force it up, entirely
demolished the lower sash. He was, however,
prevented from getting in by a large and pow
erful dog which was in the store at the time.
The scoundrel left a heavy hickory club lying
on the ground not far from the window.
Another. On Sunday evening, between 7
and 8 o'clock, shortly after Mr. II. F. Naugle,
jeweler, and his wife, had started to church,
two men, sneaking around the house, were
surprised by Mr. Samuel Mitchell, and fled.
Their object was evidently to breaK in and
plunder the house, for the next morning it was
discovered that they with had them a saw,axe,
augur and a bar of iron. The saw and augur
they bad taken rom Mr. Mitchell's premises,
and the axe was Mr. Xaugle's. The bar of
iron they brought with them.
It is high time that some efficient means of
defence against the depredations of villains
be adopted by our citizens.

Curwensville, Pa., May 18. 1859.
SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruptioa of the
blood, by which thi3 fluid becomes vitiated, weak,
and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades
the whole body, and may burst out in disease 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 be 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 fathersupon thoirchildrcn."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous matter,whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles ; ir
the glands, swellings; and on tho 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 tbc 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 deeeminates the human
family has its origin directly Iu 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 quarterof all our people are scrofulous ; their
personsarc invaded by this lurking contamination,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound EsJract o f Sarsaparillj,
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 activo remcdials that have been discovered
for the 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 tho euro 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 Boi's. 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 Blood. The popular belief in "impuri
ty of tht blood''' is founded in truth, for scrofula is
a degeneration of the blood. The practical purpose
and virtue of the SarSaparilla is to purify and re
generate this vital fluid, without which sound
health is impossible in contaminated constitutions.
AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,or all the pnrpo
sf.s of a family physic, are so composed that dis
ense within the range of their action can rarely
withstand or evade them. Their penetrating pro
perties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every
portion of tho human erganism, correcting its dis
eased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities.
As a consequence of these properties, the inalid
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 their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cos
tiveness, Heartburn, Headache, arising from dis
ordered Stomach, Nausea, Indtsrestiun. Pain in
and Morbid ln-acttonof the Bowels, Flatulency,
Loss of Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of tho body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Cro u p, Bron eh iti, Inci pien.t Co us urn ptio n , and for
the relief of Consumptive. Patients in. advanced
stapes 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, who 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 longerhesitate what
antidotes to employ for the distressing and danger
ous affections of the pulmonary organs that are in
cident to our climate. Wnile many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on tho 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 mad 9
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 tho Gift Bock Enterprise, which was first sue
cessfully established, and I may say honarably
conducted by myself. This concern, who aro pro
claiming themselves, "TheOldest in tho business,"
arc indebted to mc, not only for their first idea 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 loeation
in New York," is also faise.
It has been thought, on accountof the nanra
connected with this New York Gift Store, that it
was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but it i
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 tho Originator of the Gift
Book Enterprise in the United States havino es
tablished it and brought it to its present highpo
sition, by constant labor, unwearied application,
and large expenditure of money, I deem it my du
ty to the public and myself to expose these ore
tended ' originators,' who are attempting to im
pose upon the people. I would here publicly state
that these parties have been referring, without
authority or perraissl0n, to the largest and most
widely known publishing house in the U nitod
States. I am in'ornied by this firm, which is lo
cated ta this city, that, not only have thev
given permission to this New York Gift Store to
Itl fth.tm- hT tl,Cy Utt0r,y dlim anVinow,
edgo of their business or standing. The fore
going can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any person or persons, j the most incontroTertt
