    THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 16, 1860.
" A Camp-Meetiso is advertised to commence
on the old ground near New Salem, in Brady
township, on the 21st of June.
TTe are requested to state that Elder Lan
ding is expected to preach in the Baptist
church in Clearfield on Thorsday evening, 1 th
Inst.", and in Philipsburg on Friday evening,
18th instant. ' -
Da swept awat. We learn that a number
of dams on Cold stream, beyond Philipshurg,
Were swept away by the freshet of last week,
and that other damage was done to property
fa the vlcTnity. .
James Nolex is the name of the man who
saved Mrs. Alexander from drowning in the
tack-water at Pnsey's mill-dam in Wood.
Ward township. He performed a brave act
and deserves to be remembered.
The "Borough Fathers" aro at work gra
ding Market street, with a view of running
rfco water from the Diamond down that street
yUo tho River, instead of draining it into the
ijwatnp" at the east end of town.
The Growing Grain in this regoin looks
Well at present, aud if not damaged in some
way, will yield lagely in harvest time. The
. fruit prospects are also good, and if not
injured by frost there will be an abundance
1 apples, &c, in this connty.
Court. The June Term of our Courts com
mences on the third Monday, 18th day, and
will continue two weeks. There is a large
amount of Commonwealth business to be tried
one case of mnrder, one of infanticide, one
of high-way robbery, and over a hundred in
dictments against log men, being on hand.
Strr Arrangement. By an advertisement
4n another column of this paper, it will bo
seen that Win. Irvin, of Curwcnsville, has
transferred all his interest in the store lately
kept by him, to his son, Edward A. Irvin, who
has just received and opened" a large stock of
Seasonable Goods, which he offers at the
lowest prices.
The Lumber Business of this connty is
about closed up now, the rise . in the Susque
hanna last week having enabled our lumber
inen to run all their rafts, with the exception,
perhaps, of here and there' one. Some dam
age was done to rafts on Clearfield and Mo
shannon creeks by the sudden rise of tho wa
ters, but what it will amount to, wo have not
learned. '
Let the Ligut Shine. A few weeks since,
Johnson, of the Mansion House, put tip a
pfreet lamp at his corner, which proved to be
to useful on dark nights, that Mossop has also
put up one across the way, and we understand
that several others are talking of following
their example. The lamps, which are neat
articlcs,are manufactured by Merrell & Biglcr,
on Second street. . .
A Watert Adventure. Mr. Charles Ma
rmnber, yesterday, attempted to cross the
Kiver at tho fording below town, with a two
horse wagon ; but the water was too high and
alter diiving in a short distance, tho bed be
came detached from the rest of the wagon, and
our friend Charley found himself floating down
stream, nor did ho succeed in landing his sin
gular craft until he had proceeded as far as I
saac Thompson's, about half a mile from where
he started. In the meantime the horses work
ed their way back to shore, minus the hind
carriage of tho vehicle.
Singular Circumstance. Some ten days
ago, tho carcass of a One black mare was found
in the woods on the hill near the mouth of
.Potts run, in Knox township. The fact that
no one ia tho neighborhood bad such an ani
mal, that the carcass was found in a secluded
place not likely to be frequented by a horse,
and other circumstances, have raised suspi
cions that the owner of tho mare, whoever he
may have been, has been foully dealt with.
Considerable excitement exists among the
people of that vicinity in regard to the matter,
and it is to bo hoped that the mystery, of
what soever character it may be, will soon be
unraveled.

Botanic and Indian Physician, who has proved
very successful in treatment of chronic dis
eases, particularly those brought about by use
of calomel, (he has no equal perhaps, in treat

tho Mansion House," on Tuesday, Wednes

A young man who is serving out a terra in
the Michigan State Prison, has written a long
letter to his friends, dwelling npon the causes
which led him into crime, and summing up
the conditions of tip-top life." as understood
by rapid young gentlemen. He says : " You
may not comprehend thia term, but let me
explain. By living a tip-top life, is meant first
to be idle ; second, to drink whisky, or any
thing else, (and of course get drunk ;) third,
to frequent all places of eoarse fun, such as
cock-fights, boxing matches, negro-shows, fcc;
fourth, to keep a concubine or two ; and fifth,
to steal all they can lay their hands upon.
This, then, is living a tip-top life. Thus have
I fallen, and thus w ill thousands of young men
fall."

How the Northern Democrats are Look
ed Upon. The editor of the Georgia Atlanta,
who was at Charleston, thus refers to the Nor
thern Democrats in that city :
" High prices for board, the hot climate,
the fear of yellow fever and Southern assas
sination has rid toe Conveution and the
city of many annoyances. Such is the
dread of assassination by the Yankees, that
It is almost impossible to toll them from
their quarters after nightfall. They retire
,' Pfy or the nomination of Douglas
and their immediate delivery from bo hot a
climate. They try very bard to act like
Southerners by eating rico ' and turnip salad,
bat invariably rati from the table with pota
toes and a lump of salt in their pocket."

LATEST NEWS FROM HARPER'S
FERRY. Brown, the leader of the Insur
rection, found guilty of Murder and Treason in
the Fitst degree. The 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 sonfe of the
papers trying to make political capital out of the
affair and others making light of the 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 but
one exception, would eall 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 the fate of Brown or his companions,
and that one is Frank Short of the Short Shoe
Shop on Second street, where he will be fonnd at
all times ready and willing to wait upon persons
calling on him for anything in tbe Boot, Shoe or

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 least hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostetter has in
troduced to this country a preparation baaring his
name, which is not a new medicine, biff 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 cf strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Lossof Appetite, or Bilious complaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowels, producingCram ps.Dysentary ,Cholic,Chol
era Morbus, Ac, thene Bitters 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 usj 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
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
than the Germans, from whom this preparation em
anated, based upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove tbe value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science. .
Fever and Ague. This trying and provoking
disoase, 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 the body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S. RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of tho 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 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 tbe child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies
