Tha Fatal Seven.
It is a euriou-i fact, that almost every dee-til
in our history, ending with the figure
xoven, has marked the beginning of a finan
cial erash or severe depression. Historical
fatalism, if not actual signs of the times,
incline many to the belief that 1SG7 is to be
ndded to the periods in our past history,
made memorable by financial troubles.
With 1707 came the crash which wiped out
the Continental currency, and in 1807 our
troubles with France and prospective war
with England, threw th- business of the
onuntry into confusion, while in 1817 we got
th legacy of the war of 1812-14 with Eng
land, which was a tremendous financial re
vulsion. That of 1827 was less severe, but
ten years later, it came in good earnest
the smash ot all previous smashes, in which
the whole banking system and business of
the country went down, not to rise for near
ly five years. If for nothing else, Geflfcral
Jackson and his successor will be remem
b"red for their recklessness, in smashing up
the currency of the country, to gratify per
sonal and political spite. King Hudson
reigned over the English railroad specula
tions of 1847, and famine stocked over Eu
rope, and especially in Ireland, spreading
and causing wide-spread failures. A pure
ly commercial snap emphasized 1857, caused
by inflation and overtrading. But the crash
of 1 8t5?, if one is inevitable, which we nei
ther proclaim nor admit, will be "Pelion up
on Ossa" indeed. The chasm is too deep
and dark to think of, much less to look in
t Let us hope then rather, that by rigid
economy among consumers, the present
heavy balance against us on the year's for
eign trade may De made up, that favorite
skies may give us abundant crops, and the
hands of producers be multiplied rapidly all
over the land, so that the present heavy
burden of taxation can be borne ; that Con
gress will be successful in so adjusting the
currency and imposts, that the vear 1S67
uiay be securely tided over, and our domes
tie comfort and foreign obligations be se
curely and honorably provided for.

affairs of a Government they tried their

An Amusing Trick in Legerdemain.
A cotemporary describes a new "trick,"
called "The Printer's Delight," as follows;
"Take a sheet of note Daner. fold it care
fully, and enclose a bank note sufficiently
large to pay up arrearages. Keep your
eyes on the printer, ?nd it you can detect a
smile the trick is a success."
We have a few pations we should like
if they would try the "trick" on us at once,
and see if our cotemporary tells the truth.
Wire Clothes Lines. A patent white
Wire Clothes Line is one of the latest in
ventions. You need never take it down.
It will last a life-time. It is cheaper than
any other, in the end. It will not break
down with the weight of the clothes. It
will not discolor or injure clothes, because
it does not rust ; ani hence saves much
trouble and annoyance. Who would not
have one? Wm.McCullough,Sr., is the a
gent for this county, and will put them up
on short notice.
The Timber Business. We learn that
the quantity of timber being taken out, in
some localities, is likely to exceed the usual
quantity. If ibis be the case, the prospect
for high prices is not quite so flattering as it
was several weeks since. Since our last is
sue, ten or twelve inches of snow have fal
len, and at this time not less than from twen
ty-four to thirty inches of snow remain in the
forests, a depth tl at is not too favorable for
the hauling of logs and timber, but is better
than if there was not enouuh.
Women of the War. We have received
from Messrs. Emery & Holmes, of Pitts
burg, Pa., a copy of the "Women of the
War," by FrankMoore. The work is very
neatly printed and well bound, and contains
a number of fie steel engravings of heroic
women who shared the perils of the late
war for the Union, and are entitled to inher
it some of its glories. The work is one that
commends itself to the general reader, and
will be a welcome visitor to the homes of
the soldiers and their many friends all over
the country. See advertisement, "Wanted,
agents to sell a new book," published in an
other column.
Tyrone and Clearfield Railroad.
There is just now a prospect of getting the
Railroad completed to Clearfield. Ex-Gov.
Higler and others have had several consulta
tions with Messrs. Thompson, Scott, and
Other officers of the Penn'a Central Road,
and the latter have made a verbal offer to
the effect that the Pennsylvania Company
would give $loU,000 to responsible parties
hero if they will undertake to grade the
road, build the bridges, furnish the ties, se
cure the right of wav, and pay the surveys.
At an informal meeting of a number of our
prominent busiess men, held in the office
of the Clearfield County Bank on the eve
ning of the 10th instant, a letter was signed
instructing Gov. Bigler to accept the offer
if made in an official shape by the Penn'a
Company. If this is done it will be neces
sary to have the Tyrone and Clearfield char
ter renewed, which can readily be done as
the Legislature is now in session, and no
formidable opposition can .be got up to pre
vent it.
The Eecent "Week of Prayer.
FOR THE JOURNAL.
Mb. Row : On the 7th instant, as you are aware,
the -'Week of Prayer," set apart by the "Evan
gelical Alliance." commenced. Services were al
ternated in the several churches in Clearfield. On
Thursday evening thev were held in the Baptist
church. The specific subject for prayer and re
flection, named by the "Alliance,' for this eve
ning, was :
"Prayer for all who have suffered from recent
" wars : forour brethren emancipated from Slave-
ry ; and for our fellow Christians persecuted
for the Gospel's sake."
This paragraph proposes prayers for three dis
tinct classes, to wit: For those who suffered by
recent wars for the lately emancipated slaves
and for persecuted Christians. Now. would ask.
did the services on Thursday evening include
either of these classes ? If they did. they escap
ed my hearing, although an attentive listener.
According to my poor recollection, nothing bear
inir directly UDon the subject, was uttered, either
in the prayers or remarks. Why this evasion of
so plain a subject? Are the tens of thousands of
our in aim J. and Diina, ana wounaea soiaiers
the hundreds and thousands of distressed widows
and orphaned children, as a result of the late war,
to sav nothintr of those, who are suffering from
the same cause in the South, unworthy the pray
ers or thesyiupathy of the professed Christians of
Clearfield? Are the emancipated Slaves, who
have been denied the privileges of education and
Christian instruction by their late masters, not
fit subjects for the prayers of those who have been
blessed with these precious advantages ? A re the
Christians in other lands, who are .'-persecuted for
the Gospel's sake." not deserving of the prayers,
the sympathy, and the consolstion and encourage
ment of the professed followers of the meek and
lowly Saviour who .reside in this free and most
highly favored portion of God's domain ? These
questions are worthy the consideration of those
who actively participated in the exercises allud
ed to. Whether the omission was intentional or'
incidental, I am sot prepared to say ; but it does
teem strange to me that intelligent Christians,
who undertake to observe a Week of Prayer"
tor iffifie objects, should forgrt the subject for
the occasion altogether. Better refrain from hold
ins; services at all, than to discard an important
part. So thinks A Looker Q.i.

A Postoffioe Nuisance. Many letter i
.vriters, outside of towns, are in the habit of
heading their epistles with some fictitious
niaie, such as "Clover Hill," "Pleasant
View," "Happy Valley," etc. This is all
wrong ; for in nina cases out of ten, the re
turn letters will be aJlreised to these places
under a misapprehension that they are the
names of postoffices. Instances of this kind
are of frequent occurrence in this county,
and such letters generally find their way in
to the Clearfield postoffije. Should the post
master here b3 fortunate enough to know
the persons addressed, he forwards the let
ters to their proper offices, while, perhaps,
the greater number are forwarded to thedead-
leter office for want of an owner ; and the result
is that the mails are denounced as a nui
sance, and the postmasters as careless and
dishonest, when iu reality the writers alone
are to blame. Always head your letter with
the name of your postoffice, and you will
have little cause of complaint thereafter.
Pennsylvania Items.
Huntingdon County. A little son of
Benj. Villiani9 of Huntingdon borough,
had his arm broken, on January 2nd, by
being "shoved off" a sled, on which he and
other boys were riding. t
Mifflin County;. The key of Mr.
Swan's variety store, in Lewistown, was
stolen a few weeks ago, and since then some
fellow got in and hooked between fifteen
and twenty dollars in money.
Clarion County. On the night of Jan
uary 1st. a horse was stolen from the- farm
of Mr. Bashline, of Monroe township. The
thief was traced some distance, but suc
ceeded in making good his escape.
Lebanon Cocsty. The safe of the
Lebanon Valley Railroad, at Wernersville
depot, on the night ol January 7th, was
carried from the building by burglars, and
the door blown off. The. door was found
about thirty yards from the safe. The
amount stolen was 60 in postage stamps.
Lycoming County. Alex. Brown, of
Jersey Shore, died, after a brief illness, on
January 5th the result of a bad cold. , Mr.
Brown was in the 92nd year of his age, and
probably the oldest person in that section of
the State. He was in full possession ot all
his faculties up to the time ot his death.
Clinton County. David Wilkey of La
mar township, was accidentally killed in a
lime quarry, Hear Salor.a a large mass of
rock failing on him. . . . W. II. Hartranft,
proprietor of the National Hotel in Lock
Haven, died suddenly, on January 4th, from
the effects of a severe cold. ... A building,
occupied as a residence and blacksmith shop,
in Lock Haven, was consumed by tire on
January 2nd. Insured for $1,000.
Indiana County. On Saturday, Dec.,
29th, Mr. Charles W llkmson, of Blairsville,
while out hunting rabbits on the top of As
traw's hill, near that place, lost his footing,
and wad precipitated over the hill, falling a
distance of forty feet, before striking a lower
range of hills, from which he bounded from
point to point, until he reached the tow
path, a distance of about one hundred feet
from the place where he first missed bis
footing. Mr. W., escaped without sustain
ing any injuries worthy of mentiou.
Blair County. Godfrey Farbaugh, of
Ilollidaysburg, employed as abrakeman on
a coal train, was accidentally struck by an
engine, near Uonnington, and so severely in
jured, that he died in a few days thereafter,
lie was l'J years old, and a most estimable
young man. . . . Messrs. Voorhees and Van
Allen, formerly connected with the Portage
Iron Works, are erecting an extensive roll
ing mill and nail factory at Northumberland.
. . . Muthias Bowser, a soldier of the war
of 1812, died at his residence in Greenfield
township, on the 2nd inst., at the advanced
age of 77 years, 6 months and 18 days, lie
was a native of Bedford county, born in
Bedford township, near Bedford borough.
Centre County. A shooting affray took
place at Milesburg, on Monday evening.
January 7th. It seems that Win. Cooke, a
young merchant of that place, was spending
the evening with some female friends, when
six of his neighbors, with faces blackened
and otherwise disguised, entered the house,
and seized him, with the intention it is said,
of ducking him in the canal. In his at
tempt to free himself he shot three of the
men mora or less severely. One who was
shot in the head and neck it was thought for
a time would not recover. It will certainly
be a sad thing if death should ensue, and at
all events will serve as an intimation ot what
can be expected by men who undertake the
moral reformation of their communities, and
in furtherance of their object, resort to ille
gal and forcible means. A warrant was
issued, and the rioters arrested aud held for
their appearance at court.
Armstrong County. About two months
ago the store of Mr. Christy, at Rosston,
was entered and goods valued at $1,000 ta
ken therefrom. The thieves escaped on a
hand car on the Railroad. All efforts to
discover the goods and thieves proved una
vailing until December 23d, when a gentle
man accidentally discovered some footprints
leading to an unworked coal bank near the
Kiskiminetas river, who resolved to discov
er their meaning. Accordingly he summon
ed several other persons, and the party
entered the coal bank with a light and insti
tuted a search, and while thus engaged, two
women entered with a lantern. The first
party then secreted themse'ves until the
second party passed them, when they pa
tiently awaited the result. Presently they
heard pounding as of a box being broken
open, and in due course of time the women
returned, each carrying a bundle. They
were suffered to pass out unmolested, when
the first party proceeded to overhaul a fine
stock of dry goods, &c, secreted in the coal
bank. Warrants were issued for the arrest
of the suspected parties, who were prompt
ly captured and lodged in jail. They consist
of Lewis Klingensmith and wife. Doc Shus
ter and wife, the two families living in one
house at the North Americm Oil Works, in
Allegheny township; Shedriek Aiken, of
Manor township; Mathias Hays, of Wej"
moreland countv, and James Dale of the
Soda Works. Mr. Christy identified .his
goods. A lot of goads stolen a short time
ago from the store of Thomas Meredith, at
the mouth of Mahoning river, were found
in the possession of Aiken.

As usual since the assembling of the Leg
islature, there is considerable stir aud bustle
in this consequential "city." Persons are
here representing all sorts of interests le
gitimate, speculative and mixed and, as a
consequeuce, the " third House," as the
borers" are called, is about as numerous, i
if it does not outnumber, the Assembly
itself.
Resolutions were adopted in the Senate
and House, on Tuesday, the 8th, authori
zing a Joint Committee to investigate the
rumors of bribery and corruption in connec
tion with the contest for the United States
Senatorship. Such rumors are usually prev
alent at caucusing times especially in
Pennsylvania. It is not likely, however,
this time that the Committee will be favor
ed with the revelations of a second Dr.
Boyer.
The Senate and House met in Convention
on the 9th, and re-elected W. II. Kemble
State Treasurer, by a vote of eighty-two to
fifty. On the same day the two Houses
met in Convention to count the votes on
Governor. The returns were read by coun
ties, and a certificate signed that John W.
Geary had received 307,274 votes, and Hies
ter Clymer 290096. Majority for Geary
17,173. Aggregate vote cast at the last
October election 597.370.
A resolution was offered in the House on
the 8th, by Mr. Mann, declaring "that it is
the imperative duty of Congress to estab
lish such governments in the rebel States as
will secure each loj-al person therein full
and complete protection to life, liberty,
property, and the enjoyment of equal po
litical rights." The resolution whs passed
by a vote of 57 to 32 every so-caiied Dem
ocrat voting against it. It may be well
enough to preserve this record for future
reference, as, in all probability, these who
opposed the resolution will, in after years,
deny having voted against it.
The agony relative to the romination of a
candidate for United States Senator by the
Republicans, was ended with much less
trouble than was anticipated. On the first
ballot in caucus, ou the loth, Cameron had
46 votes, Curtin 23, Stevens 7, and Grow 5.
Thus, it will be seen, that the Governor
had much less strength than was claimed
for him, and that " Wig-wag" was too
much for the combined opposition. On
motion of Mr. Quay, Cameron's nomination
was made unanimous. John W. Forney,
Gen. J. K. Morehead, Win. B. Mann, and
other Republicans, not members of the Leg
islature, signed a protest against the election
of Gen; Cameron, but it is quite an infor
mal matter, to be used according to circum
stances. There is said to be considerable
uneasiness felt by individual members, and
it is hinted that some of them may go ba k
on their action in caucus. The friends of
Cameron, however, entertain no fears, and
as the election was to take place yesterday,
the General is doubtless ere this chosen to
fill a place which has been disgraced by the
renegade Cowan. The Committee to inves
tigate the charges of corruption, reported
verbally that there was no evidence-thus far
adduced to leave the least presumption of
guilt upon the part of either of the candi
dates for United States Senator.

Three private bills were passed, giving
pensions to the widows of three East Ten

act of burning a bridge near Knoxville du

. A delegation cf the survivors of the sol
diers of 1812, on the 8th, waited upon the
Congressional Committee on Pensions in
reference to increase in their pension allow
ance. It was a venerable delegation, the
youngest being 74 years of age. ,
The report of the Committee on the New
Orleans riots will not be ready for presenta
tion to the House before the first ot l ebru
ary. The majority report will show that tin
riot was duly planned, and further that U
nion men are unsafe in Louisiana. The mi
nority report will present the reverse of that
statement.
The prominent citieens of Montgomery,
Ala., openly denounce President Johnson as
a political trimmer, without principle, who
has promised the rebels (themselves) more
than he could perform. They think the
South committed a great blunder in hanging
to the skirts of A. J., and go in now for
Congress and the Constit itional Amend
ment. A confidence man claiming the name of
Osterhout who sent General Spinner a check
of three hundred dollars conscience money,
proves to be a swindler. His check pro v
ed worthless. General Spinner's detec
tives are after him, and they say that they
will make hkn pay the three hundred
dollars, as by his own confession he swindled
the Government.
Both branches of Congress have passed a
bill, fixing the time for the meeting of the j
40th, and all succeeding Congresses, at 12
o'clock on the 4th day of March. The bill
provides that members who were in the pre
vious Congress shall receive uo additional
mileage for the extra session. It only re
quires the Pre-ident's signature to become
a law.
According to tfce late retort of the Score-
tary of the Treasury, the at'crecate value
ol paper and ationerv manufactured lu
the Urtited States last year was only $549,
633. Single establishments paid more than
that sum for paper. So, the total produc
tion ot iron is put down at $5t7,8O0; and
all manufactures ot iron and steel at $3,
213,381. Glass and glass-ware is represen
ted at $621,391 Leather is sunk to $305,-
857; much below the product cf single tan
neries. 1 here is one advantage in such ta
bles,they mislead no one; but they cause
men of sense to marvel that the Treasury
Department should be so stupid as to pub
lish them, hoping to enlighten the people as
to the magnitude of manufacturing.
The Nebraska bill came up in the Senate.
at 12 P. M., on the 9th, and was discussed
until three, when a Tote was taken. The
bill was passed with the Edmunds amend
ment in the following language : "Sec. 3.
"That this act shall go into effect with the
"fundamental and perpetual condition that
"within said State of Nebraska there shall
"be no abridgment or denial of the exercise
"of the elective franchise, or any other
"right, to any person by reason of race or
"color, excepting Indians not taxed." This
was adopted by a very close vote. It was
defeated by a tie in Committee of the whole,
18 to 18 but was afterwards, when the bill
had been taken out of Committee oi the
Whole into the Senate, adopted by 20 to 18,
Messrs. Sherman and Fowler having come
in to swell the affirmative side. The bill
then passed with the amendment: Yeas 24,
nays 15; absentees 13.
On the 7th January, Mr. Ashley offered
his resolutions fot the impeachment of the
President, which were referred to a commit
tee and will be in due time considered.
What is to be gained by ail impeachment
does not clearly appear. President Johnson
has been a bad President, but also a foolish
one. We have had a Chief Magistrate do
ing all he could to destroy the party which
elected him, and at the same time all he
could to destroy himself. If President
Johnson has been an enemy to republican
ism, he has also been an enemy to himself.
He did much against the party: but the e
lections left nothing of him. He was left
politically dead scarcely worth a burial.
He.was looked upon as a defeated and dis
appointed schemer; still, ho hud a large
party at his back. In this country, the
shortest political road is that which leads
from a majority to a minority. Our party
will take this road when it rashly begins
impeachment. ,,That can only revive Presi
dent Johnson's: dying fortunes, and give
him what he wants sympathy, and the
chance to make a defensive war.
