Religious Notice. -John Scott. a min
ister in the Society of Friends, will hold a
meeting for worship in the M. E. Church,
in Clearfield borough, this (Wednesday) e
vening. at candle lighting. The public are
respectfully invited io attend.
New Goods. Buyutoii, Showers and
Graham, are just receiving and opening an
extensive assortment of new dry goods, etc.,
which they are pr pared to tell at moderate
prices, as their purchases were made when
goods were low in the east. Give them a
call.
The Oil Well. We understand that
the oil company has been compelled to sus
pend boring, for a want of the reui-ite
power. The stock holders now contemplate
purchasing an engine of sufficient power for
any emergency, when operations wiU he re
sumed with renewed virfr.
Prepare. We hope that the farmers
throughout the country are active in their
preparations for the coming Agricultural
Fair ; if not they should be, as upon them,
in a great measure, depends its success. We
advise all to remember this fact, that the
sooner you begin, the more thorough will be
the preparation and the more creditable the
exhibition .
03ITUAKT. Died, ir. Clearfield borough,
at the ieider.ee of his lather, Jonathan
Boynton, Esq., on Tuesday morning, Au
gust 29th, 1865, Ira N. Boynton, aged IS
years, 8 months and 27 days. .The deceased
was afflicted, for a number of j-ears with a
eore leg. Notwithstanding his afflictions,
he was still able to go about until about
three months since, when his other leg abo
became descased. Ah houghMy ing prostrate
and helpless, and at times even suffering in
tense pain, yet he was ever cheerful and re
signed to his situation ; and for several weeks
previous to his death was onscious of his
approaching dissolution. He was affection
ate, generous, kind and accommodating, and
greatly beloved by all who knew him. His
death will be deeply mourned by his parents
and relatives, and sincerely regretted by his
numerons companions and friend.. Let
him rest in peace.
Lores Goodff.li.ow. Among the most
. V plorable con-jcquences of the late war a
Trar instigated and prolonged by Northern
traitors is the death of gallant men, (who
passed unscathed through the fierce conflict
of battle,) from the barbarous and inhuman
treatment they received while prisoners in
the hands of the rebels. All over the land

twenty-fifth year of his age. He was a
member of Ca'pt. M'Gausiliey's company, of
the 5ih Penn'a Reserves a regiment, than
which none made a prouder record during
the war. On the discharge of the Fitth, he
re-enlisted in the. 191st regiment. He was
taken prisoner at Spottsylvania Court House,
and remained confined at Ilichmond over e
" leven months, or until tho ci(i was captured
by the victorious legions of Grant Jlc
was found by his Father in the Hospital at
Fortress Monroe, who brought him home,
where he lingered a few months, and died.
His vivid description of the hardships the
prisoners were compelled to endure, caused
the very blood of the listener to curdle in
his veins. In a letter to his Aunt he said.

And let our hearts, in every woe.
