We understand there has been considerable
sickness of late in the neighborhood of Kyler
town, in Morris township, this county. Scar
let fever is prevailing. The disease has not
as yet appeared in its most malignant form,
and no deaths are thus far reported.
School IIovse Bcrsed. Last Friday night,
the Turkey Hill school house, in Jordan town
ship, was burned down. The teacher and
scholars had quite a number of books burned.
It is supposed that the fire was accidental.
The building was an old one, and was the place
for holding the elections of that township. .
. Mosey Taken. Last Saturday a $10 bank
note was taken trom the money drawer of
Richard Mossop's store, in this borough, by a
young man, who was lolling on the counter,
and took advantage of the momeutary absence
of Mr. Mossop and his clerk in another room
Tho money, with the exception of 53 cents,
was afterwards recovered. We withhold the
name of the young man in the hope that he
will do better in future.
During the past week or two, a large num
ber of wagons, loaded with grain from Centre
county, visited our town. The grain is sold
to, or left on commission with persons owning
mills here, to le manufactured into flour and

large sums of money are annually carried out
of our county, which could all bo kept at home
if more persons would engage in farming, and
the soil were tilled in a proper manner.

A young" man, Charles McClossin, an cra
jiloyee of Thos. G. Snyder, -of Morris town
ship, whilst chopping logs recently, cut bis
fiftt. The wound was not large, consequently
he paid but little attention to it, and was at
work in a few days. It inflamed and became
so painful that Mr. Snyder thought best to
have "him removed from the "camp" to his
house. Dr. Campbell was called in to see
him, and found that the wound had taken in
"erysipilatrus inflammation." He suffered
very much for several days, but under proper
treatment he fs fast recovering, and is now
able to walk about again.
Wc last week made mention of an accident
that should have occurred at Robertson's log
Job, on Little Clearfield creek. We have since
learned that it happened on McCann's logging
ground, on the 2oth January, and that the
man's name is McKelsey. Whilst he was en
gaged barking a log, one of his hands was
similarly engaged at another on the hill-side
above him. When the latter turned his log
over on the peeled side, It slid rapidly down
the hill, struck tho one Mr. McKelsey was
working at, and knocking it against a tree
loso by, caught the legs of the latter be
tween the tree and log, breaking one and bad
ly bruisiDg the other. He is now doing well.
Melancholy Affair. On last Saturday, one
ci the most melancholy affairs that we have
ever been called upon to record, occurred in
the Borough of Curwensville. this county.
Alonzo Ross, aged about 2-5 years, son of Tho.
Ross, Esq., committed suicide, the particu
lars of which are as follows: The young
man lias been in delicate health for a couple
years. Last week ho became so far reduced
that his friends gave up all hopes of his re
coveryit was cot thought that his life would
be prolonged another week. Ho was weak and
confined, we believe, to his bed. On Saturday
morning he talked about shaving and going to
a Baptist meeting to be held in the afternoon.
About noon, during a brief absence of the
family, except a small brother, from the room,
he jemped out of bed, and concentrating all
Lis energies in tho effort, ran across the apart
ment, through another, entered a small room,
where his father kept his surveying instru
ments, shaving tools, &c, and the door of
which had been accidentally left unlocked,
" .got out the shaving cup and brush, sat down
upon a chair before the looking-glass as if to
shave, and in that position cut bis throat with
the razor. All this was done in a few seconds,
before his younger brother could give the a
larm or prevent it. There is no doubt that the
rash act was committed on the impulse of the
moment, whilst in a state of sudden mental
aberration. He was an estimable young man,
a consistent church member, and his distress
ed family receive, as they should, the sympa
thy of the whole community.
Do all th good yon can in the world, and
s IJle noise about it as possible.

Accident. An elderly lady, well and fami
liarly Jcnown as "Aunt Sallie Reed," of Law
rence township, three weeks since, in step--ping
from a sled, accidentally dislocated one of
her thigh joints and otherwise injured herself.
We are glad to learn that she is improving.
Axotiter. Last Friday, Mr. Wm. S. Dan.
iels, whilst engaged in moving a timber stick
on the opposite side of the river, just below
town, had one of his legs badly bruised, by
the stick suddenly slipping back and catching
his limb between it and another stick of tim
ber. He is able-to be about again.
A knight of the birch, who holds sway in a
school-house somewhere not a thousand miles
from the Moshannon creek, it is said, deliver-
Ld himself, before a debating society, in speak
ing of the beauties of nature, of the following,
brilliant sentence : "How pleasant to the eye,
and how beautiful to behold,' the rainbow and
them other insects .'" A bright youth, that.
A Magician is Trouble. For a few months
past, a young looking man, with light hair,
blueish eyes, florid complexion, and of slender
form, calling himself William Davidson, has
been amusing, if not astonishing, the good
people at Bradford township, this county, with
divers wonderful feats of legerdemain, caus
ing cards to change their color by a mere puff
of his breath, and making a number of magic
iron rings cut all sorts of Imaginable .pranks
and capers. On Monday of last week, whilst
in the bar-room of tho "Red Lion Hotel," kept
by Howard Merrell, some 4 miles cast of this
place, he displayed his remarkable "gift" .in
a most extraordinary manner. Mr. Merrell, it
seems, had put two $5 bills on the Cecil Bank
in a letter, and placed tho letter in a drawer,
under lock and key. Shortly after, Mr. Mer
rell discovered that the $10 were gone, and he
alleges that Signor Davidson, by a "presto !
quick change" operation, tranferred the money
from the letter in tho drawer to his own pock
et. About tho same time, the Signor, by a
dexterous manipulating process, succeeded in
placing the names of Daniel and Wm. Graham,
of Bradford township, to au order on Richard
Mossop of our town, for an unlimiftd amount
of goods, which they would see paid, and on
Tuesday "procured a coat, pantaloons, shirt,
&c, on this order. Such performances as
these may seem all right and proper to gentle
men who are in the magic and sliglit-of-hand
profession, but our friends Merrell and Mos
sop thought differently, and hence on Wednes
day they dispatched oflicer Shunkwciler in
pursuit of Signor Davidson, who just then had
turned up missing. The oflicer, accompanied
by Mr. Merrell, after diverging to the Sinne
niahoning and returning tothe Erie pike at
Luthersburg, heard that the fugitive was some
miles in advance, going in a westerly direc
tion. The pursuingparty,pushingon asrapid
ly as possible, overtook him at Baum's, about
7 miles this side of Brookville, apprehended
and brought him back to Clearfield, and after
a hearing before Esquire Frank, he wa3 com
mitted to jail to await trial at court, unless
he manages, by an exercise of his peculiar
powers, to free himself from "durance vile,"
and transfer himself to parts unknown.

The closing Years of Life are often rendered
wretched by ailments which are trifling in them
selves and easily cured if taken in time. Affec
tion of the liver, stormeh, and other organs con
cerned in digestion, are the most frequent. They
naturally make the sufferer nervous, irritable and
complaining, and relatives and friends are forced
to bear the brunt of their ill humor. The use of
Hostettcr's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove
an efficient remedy for this evil, it will not only
strengthen the whole physical organization, but
entirely cure the most obstinate cases of Indiges
tion, Diarrhoea. Dysentery, and Liver complaint.
The first physicians in the country are loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another recom
mendation of the Bitters is that it is so palatable
to the taste that it may be used even as a bever
age. Sold by all druggists.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease or
disturbance of 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. In order to ac
complish this desired object, the true course to pur
sue is certainly that which will produce a natural
state of things at the leasthazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose. Ir. Hostcttcr 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 system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Lossof Appetite, or Biliouscomplaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowels, prod ucingCramps,Dysentary,Cholie, Chol
era Morbus, Ac, these Litters have no equal.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux,. so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg
ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent,
in all its various forms, than any other, and the
cause of which may always be attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on tho bottle. For
this disease every physician will recommend Bit
ters of some kind; then why not use an article
known to be infallible ? All nations have their
Litters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
er of tho system in general; and among them all
there is not to be found a more healthy people
than the Germans, from whom this preparation em
anated, based upon scientific experiments w hich
have tended to prov-6 the value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
Fever 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 be driven from tho body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, nono of tho above-stated diseases can bo
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as per directions. Ami as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend the palate, and ren
der unnecessary any 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 are suffer
ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body,
these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to a mother while nursing these
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands
of the child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is whero a good tonic, such as Hostet
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 ; o doing, should ask
their physician, who, if he is acquainted with tho
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness.
Caution. We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Hostetter ' Celebrated Stomach Hitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters"' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is on the
label. Gj"Prepared and sold byilbstrtterlr Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa., and sold by all druggists, grocers,
and dealers generally throughout the United
States, Canada. South America, and Germany.

KEEP UP THE EXCITEMENT. Re

the great excitement about the removal of the
Court House has subsided, the community gener

that Charly Watson has determined to pull up
