Arm Baonts.-Last Thursday afternoon, a
man named Thomas James, who resides at
Morrisdale. this county, whilst driving a team
between that place and Allports, slipped on
the ice with which the road was covered, and
of his arms above the wrist, lie
at once went to Philipsbtirg to have the frac
ture properly attended to by a physician.
Chased bt a Woi.r. Early on the morning
of the 21st January, as Mr. Joseph McCollough
ul Wheatland, in the south part of this coun
jy, was proceeding to Janesnlle, ic a two
horse sled, he was met by a large wolf which
aeemed determined to attack him in tbe sled,
but was kept out by a smart application of the
whip as tho 'varmint," from time to time,
came within reach. When within about halt
a mile of town, the wolf gave up the chase,
turned into the woods, and laid down in a p itch
-of laurel. On arriving in Janesville, McCol
lough related the chase to Mr. Abraham Niv
Jing, 1 ho proceeded to the place designated,
with some friends, and succeeded in capturing
ibe wolf. .McCoilough,it is thought, will after
this adventure probably drive horses not quite
eo lean as those he used on this occasion, or
go to town later in the day.
FiaES ix Clearfield Couktt. During the
past week several destructive fires occurred in J
different sections of our county. On Wednes
day, January 2oth, abont 11 o'clock AC M., the
dwelling housj cf Mr. Stacy W. Thompson in
Knox township, was burned to the ground, to
gether with the furniture and about 40 bushels
of buckwheat. The men were absent in the
woods at the time the fire occurred. Through
the intrepid exertions of Mrs. Thompson, the
principal part of the bed clothing, wearing ap
parel, and all the papers of her husband, were
rescued from thedevouring element. A trunk,
containing some valuable papers, she saved by
entering the house through one of the win
dows after the doers were enveloped in flames.
The fire originated at the stove-pipe. The di
rect loss of Mr. Thompson will not be less
than S 800 or $900. The inclement season of
the j ear makes the loss more severely felt ; but
we are ghd to learn, he has procured a house,
belonging to Mr. John Morgan, into which he
has removed his family.
On Wednesday n!ght,about 1 o'clock, the
house occupied by James C. Barrett, at New
Salem, in Brady township, with all its con
tents, was consumed by fire. The lamily were
awakened by a Mr. Heiges barely in time to
escape with their lives. They did not even
save their clothing. So clean a sweep did the
flames make, that the very sills of the build
ing were burned to ashes. The fire, it is sup
posed, originated in the wash-house. The
house of Mr. Dauiel Barrett was in great dan
ger of being also burned, and was only fcaved
by tearing down a ware house and stable that
stood between the two houses. The entire
loss will probably be from 1,500 to $2,000.
The building belonged to Don. G. R. Barrett
of this place, and it is a noteworthy fact that
it was tho only piece of property on which he
had no insurance. The loss will, however, be
most seriously felt by Mr. James C. Barrett,
whose whole lamily aro thus rendered desti
tute, whilst he himself, by paralysis, has for
some time not been able to perform manual
labor of any account.
On Friday evening, tho house of Mr. George
Knari near Troutville, in Brady township, was
also burned to the ground. It was, we under
stand, a comparatively new building, having
been erected about two years ago. The stove
pipe had become detached from the flue, from
bich the garret floor took fire between G and
7 o'clock, and so rapidly did the flames spread
that nearly all the contents, including some
torn and buckwheat, were consumed. Tbe
loss will exceed $1000 no insurance.
On Saturday evening, the house of Jacob
Bilger, at Ms saw-mill in Bloom township, a
bout four miles west of Curwensvillc, was de
stroyed by fire. The sawyer, Mr. Theodore
Stephens, aHd family, who occupied the house,
wero absent that afternoon, and on their re
turn between 8 and 9 o'clock, discovered the
fire. When Stephens reached the house tho
tpcr floor was falling In; consequently he
was prevented from saving any of his goods.
We are unable to state the amount of the loss.
ilvsTEEious. Last lhnrsd.-ty niGrntne.whon
Mr. Henry Kerns, of Curweusville, went to
his shop, which is open beneath, he discovered
that during th3 night an old maple stump had
been put under it and ignited. Fortunately
the stump was of a spunky nature, which pre
vented tho fire from breaking out in a blaze.
For what purpose it was put there, and by
whom, are mysteries at present. Had the
shop taken fire, it would doubtless have re
sulted in a heavy destruction of property, as it
closely adjoins a block of three or four houses,
which could not possibly have been saved.

At the residence of his parents in Ponn Tp.,
on the evening of the 18th January, Jeremiah
C. Mooke. in the 28th year of his age. lie
was the youngest son of Andrew and Elizabeth
Moore. A young man of fine attainments,
conversable, but guarded in his conversation,
choosing subjects of interest or usefulness at
all limes, rather than indulge in the too fre
quent idle and vicious conversations of the
voting, r ond of reading, with a taste lor sci
entific investigation and research, he seldom
was found mingling with the popular parties
of the eav and the vain. Plain and unassu
ming in his manners, yet socially familiar and
free, without am' desire to accumulate much
of this world's goods, with a high degree of
veneration and reverence for his parents, he
seldom left home, but devoted his time ear
neatly in administering to theircomfort; hence
his early removal cannot but be felt by them
in an especial manner, as well as by his nu
merous friends and associates in general, as a
void not easily to be supplied. He contracted
a severe cold about a year ago while engaged
in hauling timber, terminating in disease of
the heart, which baffled the skill of the attend
ing physicians, and hastened his departure
lrom this mundane sphere. J.

Centre county. Here, in 1809, Isaac married
Dinah, daughter of Isaac and Lydia Moore.
In 1843, he came with his family to Clearfield
county, settled upon and cleared out the farm
upon which he died. He had nine children
five of whom are dead. His only surviv

daughters lives in Illinios. These were not

as a father, he was willing to gratify, yet

self-denial. A long life, characterized by an
unspotted reputation, had won for him the
respect and confidence of the community

more like a father than a friend. He has

DEATH OF K. F. WAED, Sr.
It Is with feelings of deep regret that we this
morning announce the death of R. F. Waep,
Sr., of our town. On Saturday night he was
attacked by billious cholic, which baffled tho
skill of the attendant physicians, and resulted
in his death yesterday evening, Jan. Slst, at 7
o'clock. Mr. Ward was born in Virginia. In
IbdZ, after having spent some time in Ken
tucky and Ohio, he came to Pennsylvania. In
1836, he located himself at Lewistown, where
he married his first wife Miss Sophie Hilde
brant, who died there. In March 1841, he re
moved to Clearfield. In the fall of 1844, he
married Miss Anna Margaret Taylor. By his
first wife he had one child, and five by the sec
ond 3 of the latter are dead, lie was a kind,
affectionate, indulgent fatherlind husband, and
a good citizen. His bereaved family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
He was 50 years and 22 days of age. The fu
neral will take place to-morrow at 1 o'clock.

LATEST NEWS FROM HARPER'S
FERllY .Brown, the lealer of the Insur
rection, found guilty of Murder awl Treason in
the. Fiist degree. Ihe above named -insurrection'
caused a great deal of gas to be let off by leading
politicians and the political press of this great
country, and in fact, the majority of the people of
all parties, were more or less excited on reading
the first account of the insurrection some of the
papers trying to make political capital out of the
affair and others making light of tho matter. But
if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a
gainst their lawful sovereign, led on by Mazzinni
or Garibaldi, the Press of this country, with hut
one exception, would call meetings and pass reso
lutions and solicit subscriptions to aid them in
their so called patriotic work ; but amidst all this
inconsistency there is one man that is not the least
interested in tho fate of Brown or his companions,
and that one is Frank Short of tbe Short Shoe
Shop on Second street, where he will be found at
all times ready and willing to wait upon persons
calling on him for anything in the Boot, Shoo or
Gaiter line. Thankful for past favors he only asks
a continuance of the same, and will sell as cheap
for cash or hides as any other man in the county.

OSTETTER'S STOMACH HITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease or
disturbance cf the bodily functions; but, with the
aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sys
tem as to secure permanent health. I n order to ac
complish this desired object, the true eoursc to pur
sue is certainly that which will produce a natural
state of things at the least hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purposa, Dr. Ilostetter has in
troduced to this country a preparation bearing his
name, which is not a new medicine, but one that
has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all
who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully
upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them
to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by
the simple process of strengthening nature, ena
ble the sj'stem to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious complaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowels, producingCramps,Dyscntary,Cholic, Chol
era Morbus, tc, these Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
the ciiango of water and diet, will be speedily reg
uln?. d by a brief use of thi3'preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is proEably more prevalent,
in nil its various forms, than any other, and the
cause of which may alwa3s be attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will recommend Bit
ters of some kind; then why uot use an article
.known to be infallible ? AH nations have their
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
er of tho system in general; and among them ail
there is not to bo found a more healthy people
than the Germans.from whom this preparation em
anated, based upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove the value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
Fevkk and Ague. This trying and provoking
disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, can bo driven from the body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can be
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as per directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend tho palate, and ren
der unnecessary auy change of diet, or interrup
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healty digestion, and the complaint is remo
ved as speedily as is consistent with the produc
tion of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persons in Advanced Years, who aro suffer
ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body,
these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of
strength and vigor, and need onlv be tried to be
appreciated. And to a mother whilo nursing these
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands
of tho child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hos tet
ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies
should by all means try this remedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before i o doing, should ask
their physieian, who, if he is acquainted with the
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all eases of weakness.
Caution..- -We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Hosteller's Celebrated Stomach Bitter, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitter?'' blown on tbe side cf the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is on the
label. "Prepared and sold by Ilostetter it Smith,
