A Mix Badly Fkosted. A man named
Wise, a relative of the Wiso family in St. Ma
ry's, came near freezing to death on last
Thursday afternoon, February 7lh, on the road
leading from this place to the Sinnemahon
iog. He was on his way to St. Mary's, and
took the old road, which is not now used over
the "Barrens." After having waded through
the snow for several miles, he found he would
not bo able to proceed much farther, and there
lore re-traced his steps, and reached the house
ot Mr. John Shaw, Jr., about 5 o'clock, his
hands and feet frozen frightfully by the in
tense cold which prevailed at the time. The
skin on both feet and one hand was raised in
large blisters, and underneath a thick pulp
had accumulated. Mr. Shaw did all he could
to relieve the unfortunate man, and next morn
ing removed him, at his own request, to A.
L. Ogden's tavern, a mile beyond town,where
he expected to take the stage to St. Mary's
the following day.
StcEesios of Kabtuacs. Our brethren of
Karthans township, It would suem, are making
a determined effort to "seceda" from Clear--fleld
county, with a view of joining the new
"confederacy" of Cameron, which was last
winter formed out of parts of Elk, M'Kean,
Potter and Cfinton counties. We understand
that a proposition to this effect is now before
the Legislature, and will be strongly nrged by
the friends of the movement. It is said they
have offered an ultimatHin,to the effect that they
will remain in the Union in consideration that
a bridge is built at the public expense over
Mosquito creek. We are not prepared to say
what course will be pursued by the balance of
the county in regard to this proposed "seces
sion," "but it is fair to presume that "coer
cion" "V. sot bo resorted to, unless our Kart
haus friends should imitate the example of
Mississippi and plant a battery at Mosquito
erect for the purpose of impeding the free j
'navigation of tbo Susquehanna, aright that j
will not be surrendered without a struggle.
A Former Citizeh op Clkartield Killed
is Wisconsin. By a letter written to James
11. Graham, Esq., of our town, we learn that
Miles II. Murrray, formerly a resident of this
county, was killed between the 11th and 18th
of January by the falling of a hemlock tree in
the woods. It seems he had gone, with two
ether men, into the woods about 42 miles
north-west of Xeillsville, Clark county, Wis
consin, on a trapping expedition. On Friday
the 11th they separated, each going out to
look at different lines of traps, with the un
derstanding that they should meet at a certain
section, corner and camp on Saturday night
following and then all come home together
Murray failing to, meet his companions at
the time agreed upon, they concluded he
tal gone to one of the logging camps, distant
bout 14 miles in a south-westernly direction,
"u that he would proceed home from there.
ll'fJ returned without making any search,
discovered his tracks about 3 miles from
"hero they were to stay on Saturday night,
Ming off in the direction of the logging
camps. On reaching home, his companions
.ouud he was still absent, and immediately
Irty went in search of him, fearing some
t!iitlS might have happened him, and found
13 (in Pfirliu CI, 17k Tf

?1;nst two trees-a birch and a hemlock

The River, Timber, &c. Tho moderate
state of the weather during the List few days
caused the snow to melt rapidly, raised the
water in the streams, and yesterday there was
a partial break-up of the ice on the River.
The warm sunshine of to-day will in all proba
bility remove the ice out of the dams. Quite
a number of timber sticks went afloat above
this place, and drifted down the stream. It is
now about twelve weeks since the snow fell in
sufficient quantities to make good hauling and
sledding, which has continued thus ever since,
and the bulk of square timber, boards, and
oiher lnmber 13 now on the banks of the Kivcr
and tributaries. The quantity is about equal
to that of last season. We have heard of sev
eral rafts changing hands at very good prices
A Card. The undersigned has abundant
reason to feel grateful to the citizens of Clear
field and vicinity for the extraordinary exer
tions made to save his family and property,
during tho recent burning of his dwelling
house, and adopts this as the most appropri
ate manner of returning to them, one and all,
his sincere and heartfelt thanks. It was a
consolation to mo, to feel that my absence
would bo compensated for, by tho kind friends
that would surround my family in such an
hour; and pleasant now to know that my
hopes were fully realized. To many who per
iled their health, and in some instances their
lives, an especial offer of. kind remembrance is
made. Towards those who generously ten
dered to my houseless family the comforts of
their homes, my heart will ever beat with grat
itude. All was done that could have been
done, and much more than was reasonable to
expect. The generous and self-sacrificing
conduct of the people, only serves to strength
en the bond of friendship which has so long
united myself and family to our old friends
and neighbors. Hoping that those who are
suffering from exposure during that night
may speedily be restored to health, and that
all may enjoy every real blessing through life,
I am the public's much obliged friend.
Clearfield, Feb. 8, 1861. G. II. Barrett.
Kepk.il or tuk Tons aq e Tax. An effort is
being made to havo the Legislature repeal t tie
3-mill tax which is imposed on tho Pennsyl
Varna Railroad Company for everv ton of
freight carried over their road. The bill, con
templating the repeal of this tax, contains four
prominent features, viz :
1st. The company shall loan to certain 1 it-
eral or connecting roads, pro rata, as to their
length, the amount of tax that has accrue
since the first day of Angust,183S, in exchange
for Bonds, and thus aid in their completion.
The Tyrone & Clearfield, and the Philipsbnrg
& WaterJoru roads, are among those named
Jd. The Company shall pay taxes to the
State on all their property and franchises in
such manner as.mny be required of any other
ranroaa company, by any general law now In
force or that may hereafter be enforced by
tlie legislature.
3d. The Company shall make a Reduction in
their Rates of Transportation of all the Local
Freight passing over the road equivalent to
the amount of tax now chargeable thereon
and the local rates not to exceed the through
rates for the same distance from tho point of
shipment, m the same direction.
4th. The Company shall increase tho pay
ment on acconnt of the Main Line purchase
$460,000.00 per annum say $230,000.00 every
six months until the entire price and interest
thereon is paid, which sums, when paid, shall
be applicrble to the reduction ol the State
debt end to other purposes.
Tue Great Robbery. On tho day Mr.
Benjamin retired from the Senate, he appear
ed before tho Investigating Committee, and
testified that he called upon Mr. r loyd about
a year ago, to inquire concerning the security
of a considerable amount of acceptcnces held
by ono of his clients. Mr. Floyd assured him
they would be paid, and explained the mode in
which they were issued, as advances upon trans
portation in process of execution under con
tract. Mr. Benjamin cautioned him against
mat course, as involving tiazards which micht
embarrass him officially. lie professed sur
prise at the suggestion, and afterward address
ed him a note expressing acknowledgment for
it, and saying he would give no more accept
ances. After that time he issued $4,000,000,
and, it appears in proof, that quite $4,000,000
above all the service yet rendered, and all the
possibilities under the contract allowing Rus
sell, Majors and Waddell the largest margin
of transportation up to the time of its termina
tion, have been issued, not one cent of which
will ever bo paid. This enormous sum was
put out illegally, and sold for what it would
bring in market, while the proceeds were prob
ably divided among an organized band of plun
derers, who are concealed by perjury. The
evidence points to them clearly, though per
haps insufficient to obtain couviction under
criminal law.
Honest Talk. In the subjoined expressions
of regret at the decree of the Georgia Conven
tion in pronouncing a formal severance of the
bond which unites that State with her sister
under the Federal Constitution, we have the
evidence of a sentiment which we aro assured
would be confessed by a majority of the Geor
gia people if only the question of Union or
Disunion could be distinctly and directly
brought before them. v e quote from the La
grange (Geo.) Reporter of the 2-5th January :
"The deed is done ! Our rights are not se
cured! We have been fifed and drvimed and
voted out of the Union. We still love the
Union. We love our old Government, because
it was established by tho strong arms and the
blood of as truo men as tho world ever saw.
We never did have any war to make, on tho
Government, but always regarded it as a price
less inheritance bequeathed to us by our Rev
olutionary fathers, and wo have adored the
Union of tho States because that Union was
formed and cemented by their blood. We
have given them up and have now left the sa
cred chambers of our fathers. The action of
Georgia may be right, and it may be wrong."
Good News from Kentucky. There is little
chance for disunion in Kentucky. Mr. Breck
inridge and his party are terrified at the intel
ligence that the people of their State wi 11 never
surrender to the Secessionists. A gentleman
who has just arrived from Lexington says he
found a perfect delirium for the Union. Even
tho travelers on horseback had Union nags
wrapped rround their whip-bandies, while at
nearly every cross-roa? iuju oanatr u ino sura
and stripes waa f eating to th& breeze.
LETTER FROM ARKANSAS.
Pocahontas, Arkansas, Feb. 4, 1861.
Mk. S. B. Row : Dear tir : 1 take the lib
erty of addressing you knowing you will for
give the boldness, when yon aro aware that I
am a native ol Clearfield, and besides, I con
sidered that you would like to know some
thing of the under-current of political affairs,
in this region. Well, I will bo brief. The
northern tier of counties, viz : the counties
ranging from the Mississippi to tho Indian
Territory, are settled principally by immi
grants from the northern States, and aro
strongly conservative, while through other
parts of the State the secession feeling rages
to an extent truly alarming.
A convention 4ias been ealled to meet on
the 3d of March, and if our national affairs are
not satisfactorily adjusted prior to that time,
I doubt not but Arkansas will pass the ordi
nance of Secession. The canvass for delegates
has already commenced, and in this section it
bids fair to be the most hostile and bitter can
vass ever held. We know but threo parties in
the State, they are the immediate Secession
ists, the conservative Secessionists, and the
Unionists. I am sorry to record it, but it Hp
pears that the Unionists are the weakest. It
will be doubtful if we get more than threo
straight Union men elected. It is supposed
that the immediate secessionists will have a
majority over all, and if that is the case, com
promise or no compromise, they pass the Se
cession ordinance.
There is a strong nnder-enrrent in favor of
the Union, but they have not the stamina to
oppose the leaders of the secession movement,
who aro ranting night and day, in season and
out of it, about Southern wrongs, and North
ern aggressions. It is poured in upon us by
our Senators and Representatives, the press
takes up the cry and spread it broad-cast over
the land it is our conversation almost exclu
sively at our public meetings, on the street,
and at our firesides, this woeful tale is resoun
ded in our ears. Then is it any W onder that the
Southern States would secede 1 It is cheer
ing, however, to know that the great State of
Missouri still keeps step to tho music of the
Union. May she always do so. And it is
doubly cheering to all Penrsylvanians to know
that tho old "Keystone," the land of Pcnn
and Franklin, is ready now, as she always has
been, to maintain the supremacy of the Con
stitution, "at any price."
Respectfully, &c, Thos. L. Martin.
Another State Gone. The Texas Conven
tion passed the ordinance of secession on the
1st inst., by a vote of 160 yeas to 17 nays.
The ordinance is to bo voted for on tho i"3d
Feb., and if adopted will go into effect on the
2d of March next. This makes the seventli
State in open rebellion. The several ordinan
ces of secession were passed as follows :
S.Carolina, Dec. 20
Creorgia,
Louisiana,
Texas,
Jan. 18
Jan. 26
Feb. 1
Mississippi, Jan. 9
Florida, Jan. 10
Alabama, Jan. 11
The Plot. The plot to capture the Capitol
which has led to tho warlike altitude and prep
arations of Gen. Scott, was disclosed to Sena-
ter Douglas by one of the conspirators. Judge
Douglas instantly denounced the plot as trea
sonable, and told his informant that, unless he
revealed it to the War Department, he himself
would. J fie informer resolved to do so. and
subsequently disclosed the project to Gen
Scott, who immediately took the precaution
ary measures of ordering to the city the addi
tional force of four companies of artillery.
Relief Xotes. Bv a statement appended
to the Auditor General's Annual Report, we
glean a few interesting items relative to the
"Relief Notes" authorized by the act of 1841
The original amount of theso notes was $2,
243,015. Of the amount oriirinally issued 52.
190,044 have be'en ideemed, leaving still out
standing S13,971 of old issues and $58,363 of
re-issues.
Captain Tilton, of Marj'land, attached to the

Tho Senate of Alabama has passed a bill re

Tbo 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, stomach, and other organs con
cerned in digestion, are the most frequent. They
naturally inaKe the suffejer nervous, irritable and
complaining, and relatives and friends are forced
to bear the brunt ot their ill-humor. Iheuseof
llostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will prove
an efficient remedy of 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 bo used even as a bever
age. Sold by drugirists everywhere
