THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, TA., NOV. 23, 1859.
Jons G. Cais, Esq., Smith's Mills, is au
thorized to receive subscripfiens and adver
tisements for the Journal, and receipt for all
monies paid him on accounts due this office.
By Divine Permission, a protracted meeting
will commence in the Baptist Church in Clear
Seld on Thursday evening, December 1st.
Kev. T. Van Scoyoc will be present, and oth
er ministers are expected. Nov. 16.
Special attention is directed to the card
of T. W. Moore, land surveyor.
Oa Tuesday of last week, Mr. John Adams,
ot our town, was prostrated by a paralytic
stroke, and though able to be about, the left
side of his person is still affected.
The Rains, c. Last Friday and Saturday,
copious showers of rain fell in this section of
country, causing a rise in the waters ot the
Susquehanna and its tributaries. A few rafts
passed down this morning.
It is a common thing for ladies to pick their
teeth with pins. We see mention made of
vise who was addicted to this habit, where a
Wlfilng humor was, the consequence, which
terminated in a cancer. The brass and quick
silver used in making these pins, will account
for this circumstance. Tins are always per
nicious to the teeth, and should never be used
for tooth-picks.
Some O.wioss. We have been told that Mr.
George Dixon, of Bradford township, raised
on a patch of ground 42 feet long and 6 leet
wide, 6 bushels of onions, 3 bushels of beets,
and has yet a One lot of parsnips growing
therein. This is a largo yield, and if an acre
would produce at the same rate, would be re
ally astonishing equal to some of the fabu
ious vields of the boasted West.
Last S.ibbath, Bishop Bowman, of Philade 1
phia, delivered two discourses in St. Andrew's
Episcopal Church in this place one in the
forenoon and the other in the evening which
were listened to with close attention by large
congregations. The Bishop has a good and
pleasant delivery, and his sermons, though
couched in plain language, were characterized
by marked ability, and were much admired by
all who we have vet heard speak of them. Ten
persons were confirmed by the Bishop.
Caorp. We find in the Journal of Health,
the following simple remedy for this danger
ous disease. Those who have passed uights
of agony at the bedside of loved children, will
treasure it up as a valuable piece of informa
tion: "It a child is taken with croup, apply
cold water ice water if possible suddenly
and freely to the neck and chest with a sponge.
The breathing will instantly be relieved. Soon
as possible let the sufferer drink as much as
it can, then wipe it dry, cover it up warm, and
oon a quiet slumber will relieve the parent's
anxiety, and lead the heart in thanklulncss to
the Power which has given to the pure gush
ing fountain such medical qualities."
Plasisg Mill is Clearfield. In passing
around otir town, a few days since, looking at
the various improvements now in progress, we
noticed that Messrs. Thomas Mills, Benjamin
Hpackman and Christopher Kratzer have com
tutneed the erection of a building on Third
street, which is designed for a planing mill.
They are getting an engine of sufficient power
to drive more machinery than what will be re
quired to piane flooring, weather-boarding,
Ac, and contemplate, sooner or later, to en
gage in the manufacture of blinds, sash, doors
and other articles of that sort. We are pleas-t-d
to see an enterprise of this kind started
bore, and we hope it may prove a profitable
investment to those who have undertaken it.
Coal asd Health. During the season of
summer, when the atmosphere is warm and
balmy, the cheerful breezes have free scope to
dance through all our apartments, and ventila
tion is effected upon natural and conclusive
principles. The time, however, is at hand,
with the approach of cold weather, when doors
a&d windows must be closed to shut out the
piercing wind, and when fires must be main
tained in all dwellings to heat our sensitive
lrarr.es. This is the season when means should
be adopted for securing the requisite amount
of the pure air of heaven, under all the cir
cumstances of artificial heating, in every dwel
ling public and private. The importance of
ventilation is generally recognized, as the e
vils that have been caused by dwelling in ill
ventilated apartments have been set forth in
various publications. There are some facts,
however, connected with this question, which
are not so well understood. Thus, many per
fccns mistake warm for impure air; hence they
do not make a. distinction between the two,
and do not seem satisfied that a room is habi
table until they have expelled all the warm air
from it. There can be no question, we be
lieve, about the salubrity of warm dwellings
in cold weather, if the air in them is only
maintained in a pure condition. The circula
tion of air in a room is dependent upon the
heat which is generated in fires, grates, stoves,
or heaters. The hot air expands, rises, and
seeks vent, and the cold air rushes in to sup
ply its place. The grand secret of good ven
tilation, therefore, is a plentiful supply of fuel
an important fact too generally overlooked.
The houses of the poor are kept close and ill
conditioned in cold weather, because the in
mates cannot provide sufficient fuel for their
wants. Coal is as much an article of life and
health, iu the winter season, "as food, and yet
Low few think of this! In those churches,
schools, and other public buildings, where fuel
13 saved at the expense of an inefficient supply
of fresh air, a cent-wise and dollar-foolish e
conomy prevails; and this is the principle
iiea we wish to impress upon the public mind
t this time. Arrangements for ventilation
may be made in endless variety; but without
n abundant supply of fuel, neither comfort
nor proper ventilation will be secured. Fuel
is to ventilation, in cold weather, what steam
to an engNne nts governing power.

SCROFULA, OR KINO'S EVIL, is a con
stitutional disease, a taint, orcorruption of the
blood, by which this 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 genwration ;" indeed it
seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I will visit
the iniquities of the fathers upon thair children."
It effects commence by deposition from the blood
of corrupt and ulcerous mattcr,whioh. in the lungs,
liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; ir
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 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 deccniinates the human
family has its origin directly in this scrofulous con
tamination . and many destructive diseases of the
liver, kiducys, brain, and indeed, of all the organs,
arise from or are aggravated by tho same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their
personsare invaded by this lurkingconuuuiniUion,
and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse
it from the system we must renovate the blood by
an alterative medic inc. and invigorate it by healthy
food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in
Ayer's Compound IZxtrart of Sarsajiantla,
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 reinedials that have been discovered
for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the
blood, and tho 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 Er3-sipelas, 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 the blood'1 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.
AVERS CATHARTIC PILLS, for all the purpo
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 of tho human organism, 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. Tho agent below named is pleas
ed to furnish gratiu my American Almanac, con
taining certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Cos
tivenexs. Heartburn, lleivlache, arising from dis
ordered Stomach, Tiauxea-, Indigestion, Pain in
and JSlorbid Inaction, of the Bowels, Platulency,
Loss o f Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred
complaints, arising from a low state of the body
or obstruction of its functions.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, for the rapid
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive. Patients in arlvanced
stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its
usefulness and so numerous arc tho 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
appareut to escape observation, and where its vir
tues arc 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. W'hile many inferior reme
dies thrust upon the community have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the aHiicted 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. c, 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 honorably
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro
claiming themselves, "ThcOldestia 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 faiso.

was a branch of my Original Enterprise; but.i I
