Are The times Hard ? We hear a great
many people complaining of times being
hard, but, judging from the way goods are
going out of Mosaop's store, we should say
times were good at least for him. One

appear to be hauling goods to his store, and
the other half , hauling them away aeain.

Fatal Scalding. On Saturday evening,
Pec. 1st, a little boy, aged about 3 years,
son of William and Elizabeth Hoffman, of
Clearfield Borough, met with a fatal acci
dent. It appears that the little unfortu
nate's mother had, for a moment, stepped
out of the kitchen, when the child slipped,
and in falling caught hold of the' tea-kettle,
precipitating its boiling contents over his
body, and scalding him so severely that he
died on Sunday evening. The afflicted pa
rents have the sympathy of the community.
Curious Letter Address. A letter
was received at the Clearfield Postoffice, a
few days since, with the following address :
Mr. Newton II. Sheaffer,, ... .
Philipsburg Station,-
Clearfield Bridge P. O.
. Clearfield Co., Pa.
Care of Wm. Irvin, Curwensville. :
It id presumed that .the Postmaster in
this place would be able to deliver the letter
punctually to the proper person,;, as the in
scription contains the names of three post
offices. ... , -
Salt Your Chimneys. In building a
chimney, put a quainty of salt . into the
mortar with which the intercourses of brick
re to be laid. The effect will be that there
will never be any accumulation of soot in
that chimney. The philosophy is thus sta
ted: The salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed, absorbs moisture every
damp day. The soot thus becoming damp
falls down the fire place. O ar". readers
should remember or preserve this little
piece of valuable information. So says an
exchange. " ' ' ; .'
Thanksgiving Day. Thursday, Nov.
29th, Thanksgiving day, we regret to state,
was not generally observed by our citizens.
The stores, and most of the tradesmen's
shops were kept open all day, and business
transacted as usuaL This, to say the least
f it, indicated a want of proper respect -for
our rulers, if it was not an acknowledgment
of ingratitude to God foe the blessings which
He bestowed upon us as a people. We
hope that, in the future, the same thing
aay not occur again. Divine services, ap
propriate to the occasion, .were had in the
Episcopal and Presbyterian churche.

chases was a bottle of whiskey. . He , left

to render him unable to give an alarm, '

in a paroxysm of pa.sion, knocked down

Modest Demand of a Pardoned Bebel.
A very amusii g scene occurred on Nov.
27th, in the office of Gen. Spinner, the U
nited Statss Treasurer, at Washington city.
Gen. Edward Johnson, who commanded a
division of soldiers in the Rebel army, vis
ited the office of Gen- Spinner and presen
ted a claim against the United States Gov
ernment for some $400. It seems' this'a-
mount was due him as a Major of a regi
ment iu the United States service, which
position he deserted and entered the Rebel
army at t he breaking out of the war. Be
fore leaving the service he .presented his
voucher to a United States paymaster for
paymeut, and a draft for the amount was
sent hiai ; but before it reached him he had
fled and entered the service ot the Confed
eracy. Having received a pardon from the
President, he now lays claim to the old bal
ance as i due him. After General Spin
ner heard his case he saluted Ex General
Johnn something in this style: "1 don't
see how you cau make such a claim as this.
You deserted your Government, and ever
since have been stealing every thing you
M i mi. i l . .. .i .
could lay your hands on and robbing Tier of
IT 1 , . A . 1 1
property. I on now maice a ciaini ior oacs
pay. If I understand the law, desertion
makes a forfeiture of all pay and allowances
due at the time, or what may hereafter be
come due." To this Gen. Johnson replied
that Mr. Spinner was mistaken, and that he
he did not consider what he did desertion or
robbery; that he did what he considered
right, and demanded the payment of his
claim. Gen. Spinner replied a second time
that he considered that he (Johnson) had
been stealing from the United States Gov
ernmenttorfouryears,anddid notdeserve the
amount claimed, and that ho would not pay
it. Mr. Johnson left silently, but evidently
chagrined and crestfallen. .
At a school in Connecticut a boarder ow
ed bis landlord $20, and a receipt for $20 or
over requires a two cent stamp, the , man
gave the boy a receipt for $19.99 and gave
him back one penny, thus saving one cent.

aCHEXCIvS SEAWEED TOXIC.
This medicine, invented by Dr J.H.Scbeuck,
of Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve tbe food
and make it into chyme, tbe first process of di
gestion. By cleansing tbe stomach with Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, tho tonic soon restores the appe
tite, and food that could not ba eaten before
using it wilt be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup' unless the stomach and liver is
made bcaltby ai.d the appetite restored, hence
tbe Tonic and Piils are required in nearly every
case of consumption. A half . doien bottles of
the Seaweed Tonic and three or four bt xef of the
Mandrake Pil's will cure any ordinary case of
dyspepsia. " ..."'.
Dr Schenck makes profusions! visits in New
