(iKAss. The hay crop will not he large
vi this county, this year, owing to the ear
ly and continue 1 drought. We learn that
maay of the old meadows will not much more
than pay for the cutting an I tnakirtr j but
on new meadow ground th'e yic1i! will he
pretty good. Fanners should cart ully save
everything of the feed kind,- flJs it may all be
wanted before another crop caft be harvested.
Tickets for the Amendments;
We have printed a lot of tickets "For
the Amendments'' to the Constitution,
which are to be voted on at the -election, on
Tuesday August 2d, 1SC)4. We wrH send
them out as opportunity offers, and hope
that the friends of the f;ood cause will see
they are piojfeily distributed arid voted.
Should any of our friends be in town withjtr
a week we request them to call and get the
tickets for their respective districts.
Kain Chops. We had a very fine rain
on Sunday evening, July Oth.- A severe
drought lias prevailed in this country for
home weeks, It-it the ree3nt rain has had
the effect to revive the drooping vegetation
f-uincwhat, and it is to be hoped that we
may yet have good crops of potatoes, corn
and buckwheat. The wheac and rye are too
far advanced to lie benefited by rain at this
time. The yicM of these grains will be
s-hort, to the acre'; but of good quality; so
we have been informed.

Asn-rilF'R DRAFT. Rumors are current
ihat annother draft for .300,01)0 men will .Ifc
ordered atau early day: In view of this fact
we whould tuvjgest tS the citizens of Clear
iieM Borough, a-d of the county, the pro
i rkty ()f giving thisnitter their inmfediate
attention, and make :ftTangements to fill up
our .piota at an early day. We would be
derelict in duty did we not call the attention
't our patron, and the public at large,
to this subject HJfaras the Borougli of
Clearfield is corsenred, there will be no
great difficulty in fillii:g" up its quotii. If
we are ctrrectly informed, it has a surplus
credit of some 1 3 to 1 7 men orr the hist draft,
which will be'a credit on" the present one
hence its deficiency cannot be more than
from 4 to 7, whicH rfumlier, fe presume,
would not be very (MflVtflt to' obtain. No
doubt substitutes can be had at much lower
Kites now, than at tiny future day. What
thn is the duty and the interest oT ehir citi
zens ? It is to get substitutes now ! Then
don't wait until the draft is upon us hdt gd
to work at once. Djl,y will only make it
the more difficult to fill . up our quota, for
when the draft comes off there will Ihj a de
mand for substitutes all over the country.
A word to the wise is sufficient-

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE JOURNAL.
Letter fioia Philipsburg, Pa.
PiniiPSBUiui, Pa., July 11th, lbC4.
"DiSra Journal : According to the prom
ise made in my letter of last week, I report
the way we celebi ateiJ, the birth-day of A
merican Independence. The celebration
was exclusively by the two Sunday Schools
of our town, and ia order to understand the
programme, it is necessary to say that though
we have two Sunday Schools by name, yet
in scholars, but one. The Union or Upper
Sunday School, meets in the Union church
iu the forenoon, and, with but few if any
exceptions, the same scholars composing it,
meet at the Methodist church, in the after
noon, and is called the Methodist Sunday
School. Each School has a library, and
conduct their affairs entirely distinct from
each other. There is no strife or antipathy"
towards, one another, but all passes off in
union and harmony, and with such union
and harmony we celebrated the fourth of
July, 1SG4. The scholars met at the Meth
odist church at 9 o'clock, a. in., formed into
a procession, and,-receeded by a large Na
tional flag and martial music, inarched down
South Front Street to Presqueisle, crossed
Presqueisle, and down North Front to Pine,
up North Front to Presqueisle, up Presque
isle to Centre ami oufCentre totheround,
whh was a beautiful grove on the North
East iside of the Tyrone "Pike." There
were about two hundred and twenty-five
scholars in the procession and of all ages and
sizes, from the infant
'"Mewling puking in its mother's arms"
up to the lass tunl lad '
'"Sighing like furnace, with woful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow."
The teacher of each eht-ss carried a small
National ting, which made the appearance
of the procession, as it passed tflong, of an
army going to battle. It brought to my
mind, very forcibly, tta; dftj's of thr; crusa
ders. The history of the youthful warriors,
came vividly to my recollection, and I won
dered to myself, as the procession passed be
fore me, whether we would ever nave such
an army of youtlts in this glorioas land. I
would venture to' say, that if ever such a
thought or attempt is made to organize the
crusaders of the United Suites, the' will
leave far in the shade, the ancient crusaders.
! Tin lar'? and beautiful flag at the head of
the pvoe'iiodon, seemed to tiaunt the air of
the bright and magnificent morning, with all
the splendor of its former glory ; the golden
stars, on it.; azure field, glistened in the rays
of the God of day ; and the broad-,-bright
stripes of red, and white floated serenely,
purely, and Itiumphantly in the pure un
tainted breeze. The fife and drum pealed
forth the notes of martial music that made
the hearts beat high and warm, and all were
"gay and hapry."
On arriving at the ground we found a ta
ble two hundred feet long, groaning under
the weight of all the good things that could
possibly be baked, cooked, roasted, fried and
stewed for the sustaining of t he inner man and
child. C. 11. Foster, M. D. read the Decla
ration of Independence in a very clear and
audible tone. Rev. W. O. Wright then de
livered an able and eloquent address, after
which the whole" assembly partook of the
sumptuous dinner J The dinner was a free
"pitch iu everybody and his wife and
children invited to partake of the stacks of
"eatings" piled up mountains high. After
dinner the scholars were dismissed to enjoy
themselves as they wished, and the older
portion of the "fourth" enjoyed themselves
as best they could. The assembly was call
ed together at three o'clock, p. m. and the
Rev. Switzer addressed the scholars, and
the crowd generally, in a very neat, inter
esting and spicy speech. The proces&iou
then formed, and inarched back to the Meth
odist church, over the same rout they did
in the morning, except down and up North
front street. They were then dismissed, and
thus ended the fuurth of July with us.
THe utmost good feeling prevailed and
nothing occurred to mar the joy and happi
ness th:tt seemed to be depicted upon every
body's countenance.- Would tolleavenit
were so throughout the length and breadth
of our land. But to many the memory of
this day the widowed wives and fatherless
children of thooe who fell at Gettysburg
will again cause the tears to flow, and .sor
rows to open to their view.- Ilorv many,
who this f'arth of July -one year ago, were
in the full bloom of youth, are mow marked
by the paiiid dr?jk and the robes of mourn
ing. Lut it i:T i.'o .reproach to those who
now lament the frcath of the loved one:
No, they mourn fot bim who yielded up his
life in a good and slorious cause, and the
day is not lar distTcf-, when" they will deem
it an honor, and receive the homage and re
spect of all true and loyal citizens, as they
do now, of this restored great and mighty
natio.i. Truetheshipof State isin a mighty
storm. 1 1 er live-oak timbers are being tried
to thr-ir utmost, bat she will ride the storm
in safety, sail into port under a spanking
breeze, with every inch of canvass to. the
pure air of liberty, and the stars and stripes
floating fore and aft, and from the mizzen
peak.

liy some mistake your "typo" neglected

A young lady who has the misfortune to
know little of music, and yet who is vain of
her sinirinp, was recently entertaining a par
ty of friends with a somewhat difficult sons,
in' a .shrill voice, when an old bachelor, lodg
ing iri the same house, ' rushed out . of his
room fo the head of the stairs, and shouted,
"What are you hurting that pig for? Turn
him into the yard." "What pig?" asked
the lady, so astonished that she stoped sipg
inff. The old liachelor descended the st airs,
looked into the room, and said : "I thoutrht
I heard a pig squealingin thisroom." The
young lady thought him a wretch,and said so.

OBITUAEY.
Thomas Johnson did June 29th, ISol,
near Glen Hope, in Becearia t p., -Clearfield
Co., Pa, Ho was born in Huntingdon Co.,
Pa., Nov. 15th, (as nearly as can be known)
1788. When the county was divided his
birthplace fell into' Bbiir Co. On his next
birthday, he would have been 76 years old.
Though not professedly pious, yet he was a
man of strict morality. He was a diligent
student of the Bible;- and he had a great
reverence for the Sabbath. He was dispos
ed to the labors of private life, and ras not
ostentatious in his acts of charitj-. He was
jovial, social and free ; while amiable, and
pleasant in the social circle, he- bad the con
tidency and respeet of those who knew him,
and was greatly beloved by his children.
He had a preference for the M. E. church,
and was careful in giving good advice to his
children. He leaves a companion and sev
en children to mourn their loss, emulate his
virtues, and think of his kindness. He
was the father of nine children. two of whom
knew the realities of eternity before" tile fa
ther. On his death bed he said he believed
ip the Bible, th;rt he prayed, and that all he
asked for was to be released from this trou
blesome world, and be at rest. This he re
peated several times, lie endured his last
illness and severe suffering with much com
posure and resignation. No murmur es
caped him. He knew of his departure.
He told his family he would not .live to see
the wheat harvest out. Amid the full
blown flowers of spring, he fell before the
reaper, death. Of his faults I do not know,
nor do I wish to speak. Let them be bu
ried with him. Only his rirtus would I
celebrate, and make imni'ortal. Funeral ser

U. S. 104flBONDS .
These Bonis are issued under the act of Con
gress of March Sth, 18(54, which provides that all
bonds issued under this act shall be exempt from
taxation by or under any State or municipal au
thority. Subscriptions to these bonds are receiv
ed in United States notes or notes of National
Banks. They are to be iteDEBMED in coin, at the
pleasure of the Government, at' any period ti-ot
less than ten nor more than forty years from their
date, and until their redemption five i'ek cent,
will be paid in coin, on Bonds of not over one
hundred dollars annually and on all other Bonds
semi annually.' The interest is payable on the
first days of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered or
Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds are recorded- on the books of tho U. S.
Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the
ow tier's order. Coupon bonds' are payable to
bearer, and are a ore convenient for Commercial
uses.
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st,
by paying the accrued interest ia coir. (or in L1
nited States notes, or the notes of National Banks,
adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or receive
them drawing interest from the dste of subscrip
tion and deposit. As these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three per
cent, per annum, according to the iiUe of lax
levies i;. various parts of tho country.
At the present rato of premium on gold they pay
07E2, EIGHT PER CENT INTEREST
in currency, and are of euf I conv-enience as a
permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities' otter so great
inducement to lenders as the various descriptions
of U. S. Bonds. In ail other forms of indebted
ness, the faith ot ability of private parties or
stoek companies or seperate communities only is
pledged for payment, while for the debts ot the
I'nited Statts the whole property of the country
is h olden to secure the payment of both princi
pal and interest in coiu.
These bonds may be subscribed fur in sums from
S50 up to any magnitude, on the snmo terms, and
are thus made equally available to the smallest
lender and the largest capitalist. They can be
converted into money at any moment, and the
holder will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this oonrrect'on that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on
which interest is payable in gold, ou the 3d day
of March, 1S.54, was ?TJ3.yt!5,000. The interest on
this debt for the coming fiscal year will be 345r
9.57.120, whilo the customs revenue in gold for
the current fiscal year, ending Juno 30thr 1SOI,
has been so far at the rate of over &KKt,tMjO,M)
per annum.
It wiil be seen that even the prccent gold rer
enues of the Government are largely in excess of
the wants of the Treasurer for the pytMcat of
gold interest, while the recent increase ot the tar
iff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from
customs on the same amount cf importations, to -SI50,000:000
per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting as
loan agents were n t issued from the United
States Treasury until March 2'J. but in the first
three weeks of April the subscriptions averaged
more than tbn millions a week.
Subscriptions will be received by the
F'irst National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
Second National bank of Philadelphia, Pa, ;'
Third National Bank of Philadelphia, la
AND BY ALL NATIONAL. EANKSi
which are depositaries of Public- money, nd alt
RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS
throughout tho country, (acting as agents of the
National Depository Banks,) will furnith further
information claudication, tulajford every facile
