    THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., AUGUST 15, 1860.
By Divine permission, Rev. Samuel Miles
will preach in the Baptist church in Clearfield
Borough, oa next Sabbath, 18th inst., at 11
o'clock A.M. .
Rev, Dr. Litch, of Phila., will preach in
the Baptist church this (Wednesday) evening,
and on each succeeding evening during the
week. The public are invited to attend.
Mcsic We direct attention to the adver
tisement of Miss Ryndcr, who proposes to
topen a school for Tocal and instrumental mu
sic. We understand that Miss Rynder is an
Accomplished musician and excellent teacher.
Mail Bao Focnd. Last Sunday, whilst the
landlord bl the Mansion IIouso in this place,
was searching for a pair of &addle-bags on the
attic story, he found an old mail bag, which
was delivered to the postmaster, and on being
opened was found to contain several packages
of letters, the post-marks dating back three
years. , How the mall-bag happened to be put
on the garret Is a mystery.
The Fxia Ground. The committee who
have the arranging of the ground on which the
Fair of the Agricultural Society is to be held
in October, have had it measured oiF, the track
laid out, posts and boards for fencing hauled,
and are pushing the work along as rapidly as
possible. We understand that the immediate
oversight of the grading has been committed
to Mr. Johu McGaughy, who will donbtless
nee that it is properly done.
Sold. It seems that wo have been regular
ly "sold" by some wag, who sent us an account
of the -discovery of an ir.dian burying ground
on Curry's Run, which we published in our
last issue. The letter was signed E. II. Spen
cer, but Mr. S. informs us that he knows noth
ing about the matter, nor did he write the
letter. Well all wo can do is to own up,
contradict the story, and
who is the the author of
may himself be punched
promise the chap
the "sell" that ho
up with a "sharp
stick,'.' some o( these days.
P. C. Pirviaxce, ambrotypest.ot Clearfield,
lakes this method to annonce to the public,
that he will closa his gallery on the 27th Aug.,
Inst., forthct purpose of making a profession
al tour, of probably several months duration.
Those wishing Ambrotypes, can secure his
oervices during the meantime. In addition
to his stock of cheap cases always on hand iu
h tew days he will be supplied with an asort
mcntof fancy cases, at lower prices than ever
before sold in Cleai field county.
Democratic Nominations. Yesterday was
the regular time lor the returns to be made of
the Democratic primary elections in this coun
ty. Dr. John P. rioy t had a majority of votes
lor Assembly ; Samuel C. Thompson, of Mor
ris, for Commissioner ; and B. C. Bowman, of
Decatur, for Auditor. For Commissioner 769
votes were polled. Of these, S. C. Thompson
had 107, John P. Dale 196, George J. Yoas
122, W. G. Johnston 114, Wm. Chambers 77,
I'. Shoafl'53. Some three or four townships
tailed to make any return.
An Item por Houslkeepehs. The liquid
glue made as a specialty, and extensively ad
vertised as a secret preparation, is very simply
made, and costs very little. Eight ounces of
fcluc, dissolved in half a pipt of water, in a
wide-mouthed bottle, costs but a few cents.
Having dissolved it by immersing the bot
tle in a vessel of water until tlte desired re
suit takes place, pour into the mixture two-
and-a-half ounces of nitric acid, stirring until
all is incorporated. Glue should be used that
costs forty cents a pound. The cost of tho
acid is merely nominal. For a few cents,
therefore, any housekeeper may prepare as
much of the article as would cost a dollar and
-a ha!f or two dollars when purchased in little
bottles." The Celebrated Prepared Glue'' ad
vertized In the papers, is nothing more than
this. It is however, a valuable composition,
as It never ferments, and will even mend por
celain permanently, provided it does not come
in contact with water.

cabbath School Pic-JTic Thursday last
was a happy day for most of the children of

rnen and maidens, fathers and mothers, made

Three Sabbath Schools Episcopal, Methodist

"with their families, and the families of the re

very welcome was the excellent Pastor, with
his people and children, of the R. Catholic
hurch. The town, in fact, wag well repre
wnted. Carriages and baggies went and came,
aepostfrag their loads. Presently the pile of
caskets and buckets and bundles of eatables
waxed larger and larger. A long L table was
at length set; but before sitting down, the
children were all summoned, and cakes and
refreshments were "served to every one. The
ladies and gentlemen next occupied the table;

clk coc-NTr. On Saturday the 4th ol Au
gust an estimable young man, named Thomas
uenrj nan, was washed from a raft a short dis
tance below the Portland dam, on the Clarion
river, and before assistance could reach him,
sank to rise no more. The raft had struck a
slab-pile which caused it to siuk. and Mr. Ilen-
rylian and several others wero washed oh".
The deceased btfl recently came to this coun
try from Canada where his friends reside, with
the exception ol one sister who lives at Beech
Bottom, a short distance Irom where the acci
dent occurred. We have just been informed
that the body was found on Wednesday a short
distance below where he was washed off, and
taken to Centrevillo for interment. Wo also
learn that Mr. Daniel Coe, was severely hurt
at the snme time and place. Several others
barely escaped with their lives.
Cajtbru County. Mr. Samuel Lilly, of
Munster township, was killed on the 26th ult-,
urdor the following circumstances, lie was
engaged in hitching his team to a wagon, and
while adjusting the bridles, the horses became
frightened and started off at full gallop. Mr.
Lilly was knocked down and the horses and
wagon passed over him. He was so seriously
injured that he survived but a short time. . .".
A stono used in the construction ol one of tho
abutments of tho bridge crossing Jones and
Yenners dam, on the Ebensburg and Cresson
Rail Road, exhibits on its surface a deep and
well defined impression of a human loot envel
oped in a moccasin. It is apont 15 inches
long, thus proving conclusively ahat "there
w'ere giants in those days." It is quite a cu
riosity and is well worth examining.
Indiana County. A few days ago a valua
ble colt, belonging to Isaac Kinter, of Rayne
township, ih attempting to iumn a naliug
fence, ran one of tho palings into its bowels,
which caused its death On Saturday,
Aug. 4th, the barn of Samuel Ralston, of
Cherryhill township, was struck by lightning,
and the building taking fire, it was consumed,
together with grain, hay, and two horses. . . .
Mr. Andrew Bates, aged about CO years, was
lound dead on the 1st inst., in his bed at Mr
George Weamer's in Plurnville. He had been

the previous evening as well as usual. . .
Heavy rains have fallen recently in this coun
ty, and in some instances damage was done to
lences, hay, and cornfields. The crops, how
ever, were generally benefitted by the rains
and corn and potatoes are growing finely.
Censcs Returns of Tnis Crops. According
to the returns already received at the Census
JJureau at Washington, the crops in all the
northwestern States are immensely heavy this
year, in i'ennsylvania they are represented
to Do nearly it not quite double those of las
yoir, and iu other States they will probably be
correspondingly heavy.
A correspondent in Minnesota writes that

Eves those who are in the enjoyment of per

find in Hostetter's Bitters a medicine that cannot
bo taken regularly without giving vitality and e

cases of fever and ague, the Dittcrsis more potent
tnan any amount ot quinine, whilst the most dan
gerous cases of bilious fever yield to its wonderful
properties. Those who have tried the medicine
will never use another, for any" of the ailments
which the nostetter Bitters profess to subdue. To

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 bearing hia
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
ine simple process ot strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious com plaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Dowels, prod ucingCramps,Dysentary, Choi ic, Choi
era Morbus, Ac, these 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 specdily'ree-
uiutea by a briet useot this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent
in all its various forms, than any other, and the
cause ot which may always bo attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by usins 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 Jfave theii
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
er of the system in general: and anions them all
there is not to be found a more healthy people
man tne vxcrmans. iroin wnom ill is 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.
Fever and Ague. This trvins and nrovokinsr
aiscase, wnicn nxes its relentless grasp on the bo
ay ot man, reducing nun to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, can be driven lrom 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 the palate, aud 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 tho 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 amother while nursing theso
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands

.Li rLRRY. Brown, the leader of the Insur
rection, found guilty of Murder aiul Treason in
the Fitst derree. 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
an 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
ariatr and others making light or the matter. But
if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a
gainst their lawful sovereign, led on by Maxzinni
or Garibaldi, the Press of this country, with but
one exception, womd 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 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 found at
all times ready and willing to wait upon persons
calling on him for anything in the Boot, Shoe or
