UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.
Pursuant to a resolution parsed in County
meeting, at Clearfield, on June 21st, the
Union men all who have steadfastly sup
ported our National authorities while sup
pressing the Rebellion will assemble in the
Borough of Clearfield, on Thursday,
August 31st, 1S65, at 1 o'clock, p. m. for
the purpose of nominating a Union County
ticket, to be voted for at the approaching
October election. The nominations will be
made in accordance with the usages of the
party. A full attendance is requested.
S. J. How, Ch. Union Co. Com.
The Weather and CRors. During the
past week, we have been favored with sever
al days of fine weather and most of the
grain was hauled in. Much grass was also
cut, and housed in good condition.
"T Witnesses." All persons who have
been summoned to appear at Pittsburg as
witnesses in the Clearfield county, cases, are
notified that their presence is not required
at this time. See advertisement in an
other column.
Clearfield Oil Company. The stock
holders of the Clearfield Oil Comyany, at a
meeting held on Monday evening, July 31st
instructed the Directors of said company to
procure an engine, and sink another well at
once. This shows a proper spirit, and we
hope thai other companies will imitate the
example set then
Thanks. We are indebted to several
friends in different parts of the county, for
items of local interest,lately. We hope these
friends will continue to send accounts of in
cidents, accidents, etc., and that others
will imitate their example. All we ask, is
a simple statement ot facts, and we will put
the matter in proper shape.
Camp Meeting. A camp meeting will
be held in Smith's woo Is, near Burnside,
Clearfield county, commencing on August
ISth. All who wish to do good, and to
get good, are invited to attend and tent with
us. - Persons desiring to board, can be ac
commodated at Mr. Wm. Irvin's,one-fourth
of a mile from the ground. II. M. Asa,
Aug. 2. Chairman of Com.
Is It True? We hear frequent com
plaints against our saloon keepers, in regard
to selling intoxicating drinks to minors,' In
deed, it is said, that some of them not only
sell lager to minors, but whiskey. Is this
true? If so; enforce the laws. Keepers
of saloons have no right to sell liquors to
tlio-e under age, and for so doing are a
n, enable for a violation of rfhe license laws,
and should be returned to the court. Per
sons directly interested should bear these
facts in mind.
Bounties. By a late law of Corgress
the following persons are entitled to one
hundred dollars bounty : 1st, soldiers of
the three or nine-months' service who were
discharged on account of wounds received.
2d, Soldiers who had not served two years
and were discharged on account of wounds
received.- 3d, The father, mother, widow
or children of such as were in the three or
nine-months service and were killed. These
facts are not generally known, and we re
cord them for the benefit of those embraced
jn the provisions of the act.
' The Oil Well. The well in this plaec
has reached a depth of over eight hundred
feet, with an increasing prospect of obtain
ing the "greasy fluid." A heavy strata of
shale rock was reached last week. As the
well gains in depth, this rock becomes soft
er, and of a lighter color, which, in connec
tion with the very strong vein of gas
"struck" several days since, is pronounced
as a sure indication of oil by those who
pretend to know. Hence a few weeks more
we presume, will establish the fact that oil
doeg -xit in Clearfield County.
Another Oil Well. We are informed
that the "Cherry-tree Oil Comnany"
will commence boring in a few days, at
Cherry-tree a derrick having been erected
for that purpose. We wish the company
success in their enterprise.
U.vioy County Convfnrion. To-day
we publish the call for a Union County
Convention, to nominate candidates for
county offices. According to our regula
tions, every member of the party has the
privilege of being present, and of participa
ting in the proceedings of the convention.
At our last nominating convention a num
ber of township were not represented. It is
to be hoped, however, that every election
district in the county will be represented.on
the 31st of August, instant, by at least two,
or more, members of the Union party.
Profane Swearing. During the past
week we have had several exhibitions, of
this most pernicious and fiendish practice,
in our Borough, by some young men whom
we could name, as we recognized their voices.
Tr e utterance of such horrid oaths and
dreadful imprecations, has justly been styl
ed as vulgar, abusive, mean, low, cowardly,
indecent, foolish, contemptible, venomous,
wicked an outrage upon the Christian
community, a violation of State law, and an
open insult to God. The individual who
habituates himself to the use of such inexcu
sable and detestable expressionsas those we
refer to who can coolly curse his Maker,
is but a fit associate for drunkards,gamblers,
thieves, and murderers, and, unless he re
forms, will ultimately find himself an inmate
of a penitentiary. For the good of the ris
ing generation, an example or twoshoald be
made of those who indulge in profane swear
ing ; and, we hope, that our borough authori
ties will at once take the necessary steps to
arrest and punish all who may hereafter be
detected in the use of such hellish language.
The Clearfield Eailroad.
Mr. Row : Sir : In the Journal of Ju
ly 12th, I noticed a communication, advoca
ting the raising of funds for the continua
tion of the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad to
Clearfield, urging, with other reasons, that
several rival roads are being, surveyed ;
among the rest one frttm Osceola to Madera,
which is said to be a very favorable route.
From that point, I presume, there would be
no serious difficulty in running a road down
Clearfield creek, at an easy grade, to Clear
field town ; although on inspection of the
map this route may appear crooked. Would
it be much, or any longer, than the road by
way of Philipsburg ? The latter route,run
ning over the high lands, may be as long as
the other. I do not make any pretentions to a
knowledge, personally, which of the two
routes would be most feasible ; but merely
throw out these remarks for information.
If possible a route should be settled upon,
which would unite the whole energies, and
means, of the people of our county.
I would also urgej the propriety and I
might say the necessity, of making Cur
wensville, instead of Clearfield the terminus
of the road. A very large portion of the a
vailable means ot the county lies above
Clearfield, which would be very reluctantly
and sparingly given to a road to terminate
at Clearfield, and which might eventually
reach the Philadelphia and Erie road by
way of Moos or Montgomery creek routes,
without coming to Curwensville, or in
any way benefitting the central or upper end
of the count3 Curwensville is the natur
al point of divergance towards Erie and In
diana So Modera would appear to be the
natural starting point for an extension to
Clearfield.
But let the best and most satisfactory
route be selected then hold meetingsjn the
different townships, and enlist the feelings
and interests of our whole population in the
enterprise, and soon the road will be built.
Now is the time for action. Be up and
doing before the means of the people is
split up into rival interests and factions.
July 26. Yours, . E. F.
A "Whiskey" Sensation.
Greenfield, Ohio, glories in a sensation.
The ladies of the town, on the 10th of July,
opened a warfare on whiskey, and in a body
made a descent on the liquor shops in the
plaofl, and demolished the stock. For this
raid then the dealers were not prepared, but
as a mode of redressing themselves they
now commence suit against the party. Some
hundreds of the straight-forward substantial
citizens of the town held a meeting, and re
solved to stand by the ladeis and like true
crentlemen see them through with the affair.
It is reported that about two hundred wit
nesses have been already subpoenaed in the
case. The best legal talent will be employ
ed by the ladies, and a fund is to be raised
to prosecute the case thoroughly, which will
come up at next term of the Common Pleas
Court. A correspondent denominates the
two parties "red and white noses," and
prophecies an animated system of war, as
the raiders are a most determined set of
people, and propose to settle now and for
ever whether whiskey shall be sold with im
punity in their midst.
Georgia papers fully endorse the late or
der of Gen. Steadman, and regard it as an
iiidication of the liberal policy of the Feder
al Government. They speak encouraging
ly of the renewal of trade. Large stocks of
goods are received on almost every train.
At a meeting of the State Teachers' As
sociation, held at Elmira, along report was
adopted, in which the necessity o
military drill and physical training, as a
part of the education of youth, was forcibly
and eloquently urged.
