Fatal Accident. We are informed that,
afewdavs before Christma-?, Mr. Geonrc
Patrick of Burnide township, met with a
fatal accident whilst encased in felhn? tim
ber, near Cherry-tree boroueh. A' he was
euttinedown a tree a limb became detained
and fell upo him, killing him f1"101";
stantly. He" leaves a w"fe and three small
children to mourn his sa l fate.

This is right, as now the '

For several years pa ;t many person waited
unt'I later m the season to put up uieir ice.
and tbe result was that soni3 of them pro

inferior quality. But, we presume, they will '

A Word for Ourselves. We would
remind our patrons that next week is Court.
:it which time we expect them to call and
square up their accounts. By doing so you
will save money, as after that time, as here
tofore stated, we will charge all strictly ac
cording to published rate. . The high price
of even article consumed bv us in our busi-
!;.-.-. and the recent heavy outlay for new ;
t;-pe, admonishes us to require prompt pay
liient from those who are indebted to us.
The Weather. Since our Iat issue we
have had a speck of real old-fashioned winter.
Friday night wasdecidelly the coldest of the
season the thermometer indicating ten de
grees below zero at sun rise on Saturday
morning. On Saturday and Sunday it was
so exceedingly cold, but on Monday the
airwa some what more moderate. Un
Motnlay night and Tuesday morninc about;
live inclies of stiow ft!!, which will make
good hauling, as the roads were in excellent
c ondition previous to the fall of snow.

This number is much .smaller than it
should have been, and la?:- than we anticipa
ted, vet we do not reflect on those who paid
'the commutation fee, as they only availed
tnemseives or ine privileges n-uiuii me
graitted them. They had a perfect right to
do this, and they must be regarded as hav
ing fuitiiled their obligations to their Gov
ernment as fully as those who went into the
more active service of their country.
To Enrolled Mew As the time for
making the draft has been postponed to the
loth of February, it would bo well toraii in
terested to give the subject of tilling the
quota of Clearfield county by volunteers their
serious attention. And how is this to be
done? By remaining inactive? No! but
by one united effort by offering additional
bounties. We learn that Erie county will
raise her quota by volunteers, 'the county
having made a large appropriation to in
crease iho bounty ot Mich as may enlist, be
sides individual and corporation .subscrip
tions. For in-tance. the Borough of Water-
i ibid give $100 additional, to the 300 given
j,v the county, to such as'mav volunteer to
ii LI un the ouota of that Borough. Will
Ck-ariield county be behind her sister coun
ties ? Are our Borough authorities to 1 e
out stripped by tho.-e of Wateiford ? Are
not our citizens as wealthy, as willing and as
patriotic astho-e of any other loca!- in this
Congressional Ib'strict ? Then why delay?
Why not at once go to vork and raise a suifi
cientsum to increase the bounty of vol Jnters.
so as to be an inducement to enlist? The
(Government gives a bounty of $30U to raw
recruits, why should not the citizens add
$200 or $3K) thereto, even if the county did
not appropriate anything additional? You
who'have sons, you who have brothers and
friends, and you who are subject to draft
yourselves, give this .subject your immedi
ate and prompt attention. Let not another
day pass without making an effort to raise
t he quota of Clearfield Borough by volun
teers. Let every Borough and township in
the county make a similar effort, and Clear
field county will have her quota in the field
lone ere tlio draft is to take place. . A word
to the vise.is suiuVieitt.

Letter from Pike Township;
1 'ikk Township, Jan. oth, 1804.
Mr. liow : I see a paragraph in the
Copperhead organ of the 30th J fecember,
relative to the election held in Lawrence
township, for local offices, in which the as
tute editors of that organ arc disposed to re
joice over the result, and boastingly intimate
that the Copperheads elected their whole
ticket from that class of their party who are
'"steeped in profound ignorance." Truly,
a very humiliating admission for the editors
of that paper to make.
But. the election in this (Pike) township,
resulted very differently. We elected a full
ticket. (Poor overseers not excepted,) of
reading. thinking.independent and loyal men,
notwithstanding the Copperhead leaders of
the townshij) met several days previous to
the election an J placed in nomination a full
ticket of their own kind not willine even
to let the Union party have one of the In
spectors of elections. They were oingti
carry every candidate upon their ticket, a.'
they had done at the last spring election,
when every man elected was a copperhead
of the rankest sort. Well, they marshalled
their forces upou the Held on the morning
of the 2;"th I'ecember, under their faithful
and efficient leaders, and flushed with for
mer victories, determined to carry every
thing by storm not doubting the result in
a township where they always had the as
cendency. But, to their horror and dismay,
the Union forces met them upon the battle
ground, in solid column', and contended, (as

Letter from Philipsburg.
I'UILIPsiBUUQ. Jax. 4th. 1864
Dear Journal : We have now entered
upon a new pariod of time, and ahead our
ship is four aays on its voyage. New Year's
day is one of the most solemn, to mankind's
thouauts, of any other day of the year,
Christmas brings to us mem times Eood
cheer prevails, all seems joyous, and full of
bright promises. But when the hour ar
rives for the departure of the old year, we
are more .solemnly impressed with medita'
tion and thoughts ot the past and future.
The shadows of the departing year hover
around us as we sit in our warm and cozy
room, ere we have lighted the luminary of
our nocturnal abode. ' A bright lire burning
in the "iron clad"' tire place, theidampei is
partly open, snently, all alone, we watch the
dimmerum reflection of the fire on the wall
and old arm chair. listen to the wail of old
Boreas 'round the corner of our domicil, the
cla-h of .shutters, swinging of "shingies
hurried footsteps, and wonder where we win
he a year hence. .Look taick over the past,
see where we made some mistakes. resolve
to make none this year that we will truly,
honorably and earnestly do our whole duty
to the Great Arbiter of Destiny, to our
country, and to all man and woman kind.
There comes a rap at my door, take a long
sigh, reach for a small piece of pine wood,
draw it across tiie "'iron clad." it emits a
sulphurous smell suggestive of the late treat
the copperheads enjoyed, give the "iron
clad" some fuel, and away we go down the
tide, visitor remarks, v hew ! my dear
friend, I congratulate you for having such a
comfortable la.-e ot" operations, for do as
sure you this is a cold JN'ew Year. Business
toilows, the thoughts of a few moments have
fled, and "mans' inhumanity to man" com
mences. Such is man.
Welcome, welcome, to the brave survivors
of Company D, 53d t Y. This brave and
war-worn regiment of veterans have came
home on a thirty day furlough to reorganize.
I hey have au re-enhsteu.aiid are now en
rolled among the veterans of the Union Ar
my. Brave boys! loyal hearts beat in your
breasts, and a firm determination to stand by
that flag that you have followed for more
than two years, and seen its proud folds float
triumphantly o er many a hard fought field,
dwells on your brow. Company D. 53d F.
V"., entered the army of the I'olomac in
November 1 Sol. The members were parily
from this place and partly from daiu'sviilo
and (Jlen Jlope. There was some forty
members from our town they were a fine
body of material for soldiers, and well have
they proved their look. But their number
is sadly decreased, only six or seven of the
number that left here have returned. This
decrease is not owing to loss of lite so much
as that ofmeinoers discharged for disability
resigned, - and, I am sorry to say, desta ted.

brother of the Andrew J. White mentioned
above. John was a brave, noble and "true
souiit-r he was ar home when Lis vountier
brother was killed at Antietam. They were
the only sons of Mr. John G. White, one
of our old.;.-., resident. The voumrer broi h-

a wife and family of children to rare for.
whi h"w:is the only obstacle that kept him
nvni going at that tune. jut when he
heard the sad news of his brother beim: kill

ble would get Jackson's (his brother's) mus
ket, and avenge bis death? Whether he
succeeded in getting his brother's musket I
never learned ; but I have no doubt he
made good the eye lor an eye. and tooth for
a tooth. Poor John be has left a wife and
live small children to mourn his loss. His
remains are interred in the National Ce'ne
try and there let him rest he fell in a glo
rious cause, he sleeps among the bravest of
the brave. When the second corps was or
dered to pursue the rebels after the Gettys
burg battle there was but one nun, Serirt.

battle llag of the 53d P. V. Tiie survivers
look well and hearty, somewhat bronzed, but
none the worse of that. They are Americans
of the genuine "ring," they are determin
ed to see things through. Again I say. wel
come to the veterans. And may you all live
to see the Stars and Stripes float trium
phantly over a restored Union,
The "mercury" has gone into winter quar
ters, for the last few days. Boreas has as
sumed command of the entire winder opera
tions. Brig-a-dier Gen. Froze Up made a
flank movement and has congealed the slush
and water that held unlimited sway a few
days ago, and issued an order for things to
remain so. How long it is to continue am
not able to say. But I think some of the
'"Cops" might apply tor a writ of Halieas
Corpus, or call Horatio & Clem to raise the
"spell." Oh! for a sleigh ride ; however
'tis a little rough, but a 2.40, plenty of robes
well tucked in, and a fair one bv our side
would make a smooth road, and then away
wewouldglide. All's well, so says Leroi.

Although fcnt; disposed tJ favor or recommend
i aient Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingredients and effects; I yet lino w of no
sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to
the benefits he believes himself to have received
from any simple preparation in the hope that ho
may thus contribute to the benefit of others
1 do this the more readily in regard to Hoof-,
land 8 Uerinan Litters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jaekson. of this city, because I was prejudiced a
gainst them for many years, under tho impres
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
Iain indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker,
Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try theia. when
suffering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bttlea of ihese Hitters, at tho
beginning of the present yer.r. was 'followed bv
evident relief, ahd restoration to a degree of bod
ily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six
m i.ths befrr-i, and had almost despaired of ro
gaining, therefore thank Ood and my friend
for directing mo to the use of them.

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS !
AND TIIE FRIENDS OF .SOLDIERS.
Wo call the attention of ail Lavins relations or
friends in tho army to the fact that -Hoorr. ivn's
iJerman Bitters'' will cure nine tenths of tbo dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp Iifo. In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on tho aVrival of tho
sick, it will bo noticed that a very large propor
tion are suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hoofiand's Ger
man Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders
of the digestive organs are speedily removed. Wo
have no hesitation in stating that, "if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives might be saved that otherwise will he lost.
Wo call particular attention to the following re
markable aud well authenticated cure of one tho
nation's heroes, whose life, to use his own lan
guage, ' has been saved by the Bitters : '
Pailate!.phu, August 2Mrd. 1SG2. .
JWevsr. Jone Evan. Well, gentlrmcn.your
Hooflaud's German Bitters has saved my "life.
There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for
by numbers of my comrade, some ofwhosc iiamn
arc appended, and who were fully cogniaant of
all the circumstances of my case. I am. and
have been lor the last four years, a member of
Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the im
mediate command ot'Capt.R B. Ay res. Through
the expo sure attendant upon my duties. I wi
attacked in November last with inflammation of
the lungs, ami was for seventy-two days in tho
hospital. This was followed by grcat'dobilily.
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I wastben
removed from the White House, and sent to this
city on board the Stealer -Slate of Mainu.'Troni
which I landed on tho 2Sth of June. Fince that
time 1 have been about a? low as any ono could
be and still retain a spark of vitality. For a.
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, aud if I did force a morsel down, it wsis
immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of- v-atcr on my
stomach. Life could not lastunder these cireum"
statiCcs; nnd, accordingly, the j bysioians wb
had been working faithfully, though unsuccess
fully, to rescue mo from tho grasp of the dread
Archer, frankly told ine they could do uo more
for me. and advised me to see a clergyman, and
to make such disposition of lay limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited mo
ac ine nospiiai. Mr. r rt-doricli btoiuUirn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised Bio, aj a forlorn hope,
to try your bitters, and kindly procured a bottle.
From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy bha low of death, receded, and I am now
thank God for it. getting better. Though 1 havo
takeu but two bottles, I have gained ten pounds,
and 1 feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoin
my wife aud daughter, from whom I have heard
nothing for eighteen months : for. gentlemen. I
am a loyal Virginian, from tho vicinity of Frout
Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe the cer
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fears
to your Bitters will I owo the glorious privi
lege of again clasping to my bosom those who are
dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours, Isac Maloxe.
We fully concur in the truth of tho above state
ment. as we had despaired of seeing our comrade,
