    TIIE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MAKCI1 7, 1860.
We direct attention to tho advertisement of
Mr. Womrath, of Philadelphia, dealer in Ot
ter, Coon, Fox and other furs.
The weather has been warm and spring-like
in this region for several days. Daring the
past night and this morning it has been rain
ing rapidly. Tho water in the river is up to a
good rafting stage.
Da. A. M. Hills, desires us to say that he
will be in his office in Clearfield, most of the
time from the 1st of March till after the June
court ; alter which time, he expects to be ab
i ent for several months. Persons desiring his
services will do well to call on him before that
time. The Doctor has improved facilities for
putting up work, and does it in such a neat
and durable manner, that he has obtained a
deservedly high reputation as a Dentist among
those for whom he has operated. m74t.
Nikkow Escape. Last Thursday, whilst a
on of Mr. Edward Williams, of Bradford town
ship, was engaged, with several others, "raft-Ing-in"
at Graham's rafting ground, a large
stick of timber was accidentally rolled
down the beach. All started to hurry out of
the way, but young Williams tripped and fell,
and before he could recover, the stick rolled,
from heels to head, over him, pressing his face
into the sand ; yet, strange to say, he was but
lightly injured, and complained only ot a
prickly sensation in one of his thighs.
Fatal Accidext. On last Thursday, a man
named Anspach, from Clarion county, who
was engaged at Ilarrison Miller's log job on
Clearfield creek, in Knox township, this coun
ty, met with an accident which cost him his
life. A tree that he cut down, fell against a
dead tree, which broke off and striking Mr. A.
on the back, knocked him down, and his fore
head coming in contact with a spruce pole, it
was mashed in, causing death la about eight
hours after. lie leaves a wife and two chil
dren in Clarion county, to mourn his sad fate.
RArTiso. During the latter part of the past
week the waters of the Susquehanna and trib
utaries rose to a good rafting stage, and soon
the banks of the streams presented a scene of
activity that sent a thrill of gladness to every
heart, for here all high and low, rich and
poor are, directly or indirectly, interested in
the lumber trade. On Monday and Tuesday a
large number of rafts started "down tho riv
a," and in a few days our friends at Lock
Haven, Uarrisburg, Middletown, Marietta, Co
lumbia and other points along the Susquehan
na, will bo visited by the hardy raftsmen of
this region, who spread life and animation
wherever they go. The stock of lumber is
large, but we do not think that it will be more
than equal to the demand,' and from what we
have learned we are induced to believe that
prices will be remunerative. Wo hope these
-anticipations will bo realized, and that our
lumbermen, who have suffered severely by tho
-depressed state of the trade for the past three
-or four years, will once more receive such en-
couragement as their business demands.
Teacher's Association. The Woodward
and Beccaria Teacher's Association met in

HOSTETTER'S STOJIACII BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, e verv 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, mey may do ahio 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 least hazard of vital strength
ana ine. .tor mis purpose, vr. itostetter 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 Raters operate powcrfullv
upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them
to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by
me simple process ot strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion. Nausea.
Flatulency, Lossof Appetite. or Bilious complaints,
arising lrom a morbid inaction ot the Stomach or
Bowels, producingC ramps, Dysentary,Cholic,Chol-
cra Morbus, ic, these Fiitters have no coual.
Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, eo generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by
me cnange oi 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 bo attributed to de
rangements of tho 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 not use an article
known to be infallible? All nations have their
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen-
er of the system in general ; and among them all
there is not to be found a more healthy people
man me uermans.irom whom mis preparation em
anated, based upon sciectlfio experiments which
have tended to prove tbe value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
x ever anp 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 tho
iu P lli'WTPTTru'ii KPvmi'Vi'n nrTTr-ov
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can bo
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as per directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend the palato, and ren
der unnecessary any change of diet or interrup
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
i j? ...
anu neaity aigcsiion, and me 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 tho mo
ther s nourishment is inadequate to tbe demands
of the child, consequently her etrength must yield.
and here it is where a good tonic, such as II os tet
ter s Stomach liitters, 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 to doing, should ask
their physician, who, if he is acquainted with the
virtue, of tha Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness.
Caution. We eaution the public against using
any of t e many imitations or counterfeits, but ask .
for Hostetters Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter'g
Stomach Bitters ' blown on the side of tbe bottle,
and Stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is nn the
label. l3r""Prepared and sold by Itostetter Ir Smith,

one exception, would call meetings and pass rcso-
