Ben. Wade. Members of the Congres
sioual excuraioa party epeak in the highust
terms of the unreserved manner in whioh
Senator Wade expressed his radicalism du
ring the whole trip, both in public and pri
vate conversations with leading rebels. To
illustrate: While at New Orleans three men
sought an introduction to Mr. Wade, and
stated to him they were rebels, had been
from the fin-t, and intended to remain so.
Senator Wade replied. ' Well, trentlemon.
I am happy to meet you, as you are the first
rebels I h ave seen since the war closed, the
uaiance ot the Southern people bew union
men. Now tell me, if you please, how did
you three men manage to carry through
such a dreadful waragainst the Government
and keep it up for four long years by your
selves?" The rebuke was silently received
ly the rebels and the crowd.
Two Roys Drowned. On Thursday,
Jan. 17th, two little boys, David and Darien
Allen, were drowned in a pond while skat
ing upon the ice at Pen Van, New York.
David broke through the ice and sunk, when
tis brother skated after him, and, in the at
tempted rescue, lost his own life. A singu
ar feature of this painful affair is, that a
little cousin of David, aged four years, while
playing with her doll about the same time
the accident occurred, suddenly stopped, and
in a mournful voiee exclaimed to his moth
r, "Auntie, David is drowned !" She re
peated this expression several times. It
as not until four hours after, that a telv
fram was received announcing to the family
the ad casualty. The two boys were bu
ried in one coffin.
A Strange Case. A bright little girl of
nine summers, daughter of M. F. Mclntyre
of Girard, Erie county, was, on Friday of
last week, kidnapped by her own mother,
whom she had not seen for six years. Her
pother was supposed to have died on the
pains on the road to California six years a
go, where she was foing, as she stated, to
fet rid of the ill treatment of her husband.

ith the typhoid fever, and the husband
took the child and $500, all the money he
11, and supposed that his wife died. She,
r WitV-er' as re"aPPeared, and the strangest
01 all is that the child recognized her in a
moment The sympathies of the Girardists
o strongly with the mother.
It is said that a colored boy named Doug
ass. residing in Corry, Pa., has invented a
Dew and destructive firearm, in the shape of
rme battery, which is on exhibition at
tfofialo. It is constructed in such a man
ner as to throw one hundred and eight Min
"Ve,, k at one discharge from percussion
shell cartridges, and the machine can be

military men have examined the battery,
na pronounce it one of the most formida

CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 3?, 1867.
The Murder Trial. We take up the
greater portion of our paper to-day with the
proceedings of the trial of Mrs. Lena Mil
ler, charged with poisoning her husband, at
Frenchville, in this county, in the month of
July, 18GG. The case was submitted to the
Jury this (Wednesday) morning ; but, up
to the time of going to press, have not ren
dered their verdict.
More Snow. There seems to be "no
end" to snow in Clearfield county this win
ter. Every day in January, thus far, more
or less snow lias fallen, and at this time it is
over two feet deep. It is retarding timbar
hauling to some extent.
Thanks. Mr. Dunglison will accept our
thanks for an early copy of Gov. Geary's In
augural address, and Col. Campbell for a
copy of the Surveyor General's report. We
also tender our thanks to Senator Wallace
for several public documents.
The Tribune Almanac for 1S07 posses
ses its usual, and even greater degreo ol use
fulness. We know of no other publication
of like size comprising more general infor

possess. A few conies for sale at this office.
Accident. On Tuesday, Jan. 15th. John
Lronard of Girard tp., this county, bad his
shoulder dislocated and the small bone on
the top of the s'ouMer fractured, by a kick
from his horse, which ran away with the
sleigh, as he was going down Lick linn hill.
U. S. Senator. On Tuesday, the 15th
instant, the Legislature of Pennsylvania e
lected Gen. Simon Cameron as United States
Senator for the term of six years from the
4th of March next. The Republican mem
bers, 81, voted for Gen. Cameron ; the latter-day
Democrats, 4S, voted for Edgar
Renegade Cowan.
Special Notice. All wbo are afflicted in any
I manner should consult Dr. Newcom,of New York,
who has taken rooms at Johnston's Hotel, in
Clearfield. He treats nearly all manner of dis
eases with great success, without the use of med
icine or surgical instruments. He will remain
from the 27th of January to the 5th of February.
Consultation free to all. Terms of treatment
moderate. Don't forget the time and place.
The Mileshuro Shooting Affray.
Last week we noticed the fact that William
Cooke, of Milesbunr. shot three younsr men
wbo, wiih three others, had dragged him
him from a house, where he was visiting
some female friends, with the intent of duck
ing him in the canal. We learn that one of
the men shot by Mr. Cooke, has since died.
The Hail Road. We understand that
the Penn'a Railroad Company bas formally
agreed to the proposition which we referred
to in our last, to wit: that they tvould pay
$150,000 to responsible parties here if they
will undertake to grade the road, build the
bridges, f urni.-h the ties, and secure the right
of way the work to be done within two
years. So we can, at last, look confidently
for the completion of the road to Clearfield
within acouple of years.
A Secret Revealed. A correspondent
at Oil-city writes us as follows: 'On Jan.
6th, 1367, John Franklin Worley, a resident
ol" this place for about two years, died from
the effects of a wound received at the battle
of Antietam. On his dying bed he stated,
that four years ago he left a wife and two
small children, near Janesville, Clearfield
county. And now, he leaves another wife
and two children in this place, she not know
ing that be was married before. He could
not die without reveaiing the facts to her,
and asking her forgiveness, as well as that
of his first wife. I thought it right to pub
lish this statement tor the information of
his widowed companion and fatherless chil
dren." .
Unfortunate and Fortunate. The
Venango Citizen, says: "About ten days
ago Mr. Francis Collier, oue of our citizens,
was working at an oil well on the Allegheny
river, and while turning the bull-wheel, he
unfortuuately had his arm cauhtand broke
off immediately above the wrist. This is a
sad case, as Mr. C, is dependant upon his
labor for a living. We are glad to learn,
however, that he acted the part of a wise
man, by the timely insurance against gener
al accidents in the sum of $2,500, in the
Traveller's Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Conn., by which he receives promptly,
at the end of each week, $12 50." S. J.
Row, at Clearfield, is agent for this compa
ny, who will issue policies on application.
His Honor, Mayor Wood, of Williams
port, has got himself into the deep waters
of humiliation. He has been arrested and
bound over for trial at next Court on a charge
of conspiring to swindle certain parties out
of large sums of money.
Pennsylvania. The State government
; Pennsylvania, under the new administra
tion, .stands as follows:
Governor Major General John W. Gea
ry, of Cumberland county.
Private Secretary John Rubley Dungli
son. of Philadelphia.
Secretary of State Colonel Francis Jor
dan, of Bedford county.
Attorney General General Benjamin II.
Brewster, of Philadelphia.
Adjutant General Brevet Brig. Gen. Da
vid 11. M'Creary, of Erie county.
Auditor General Major General JohnF.
Hartranft, of Montgomery county.
Surveyor General CoL Jacob II. Camp
bell, of Cambria county.
State Treasurer William II. Kemble, of
Philadelphia.
President of the Senate Louis W. Hall,
of Blair county.
Speaker of the Ilo ise Colonel John P.
Glass, of Allegheny county.
The Soldiers Becoming Radicals.
The recent letters of General Heintzclman,
in the department of Texas, and Gen. Ord,
in the department of Arkansas, both here
tofore classed among the conservative men,
testifying to the utter cruelty and ingrati
tudo of the secesh population, go much far
ther than the ordinary testimony liom the
South. Such men do not speak except on
the gravest provocation, and 1 am not, there
fore, astonished to hear that General Grant
freely expressed his mortification and indig
nation at the manner in which the Southern
leaders are conducting themselves.
The Response. The Republican re
sponse, from beyond the borders of Penn
sylvania, to the Inaugural Address of Gov.
Geary, and the speech made by Hon. Simon
Cameron immediately after, his election to
the United States Senate, are significant of
the unbiased opinion of the country. Both
are pronounced admirable as to matter, and
the feeling is that the loyalty of Pennsylva
nia will be fitly suppoitcd in the Executive
Department of the State government and
in the National Senate.
The lumber trade of the distant western
regions, whence large supplies are usually
drawn, is nowsuffering great embarrassment
by a lack of snow. The absence of snow
makes it impossible for lumberman to get
their losrs to the banks ot streams prepara
torv to beinsr floated to lumber mills and
market. It is feared, unless more snow falls.
the stock of sawed lumber in the west will
fall far short the eominsr of any former sea
son and that prices, as a consequence, will
be very high.
Nebraska and Colorado. Both I lou
ses of Congress have passed the bills admit ting
relraska and Colorado as Mates : hut they
are likely to encounter a brief delay on the
threshold, before entering into the Federal
family, in.the form of a veto. The objec
tions to the proposed terms of admission are
said to be,"that there is too much allowance
made to the colored race, in the exercise of
the elective franchise.
Horace Greeley gets off a goo l thing now
and then. In a lecture delivered on adver
tising he said : "Some rue a who know e
nough to advertise are yet so narrow-minded
h.s to confine their advertisements to jour
nals of their own creed and party. If they
do not choose to trade with any but men of
like faith, this is wise, but it they desire the
whole public tor customers it is otherwise.
A S.'iD Memento. Secretary Stanton on
Jan. 14th, turned over to Secretary Brown
ing, of the Interior Department, for safe
keeping, the chair occupied hv President
Lincoln when shot by Booth at Ford's The
atre. It has been in the custody of the War
Department since the night of the assassi
nation. The chair is an arm rocking-chair,
covered with morocco colored cloth.
Justice Field. The friends of this gen
tleman insist that his decision against the
test-oath is a two-edged sword, and that,
while it prevents State Governments from
adopting test-oaths to interfere with profes
sions and trades, it will also operate to pre
vent what are called the State governments
in the rebel States from defying the provi
sions of the civil-rights bill.
One million six hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars capital is invested in the Cam
bria Iron works at Johnstown, Pa. Three
thousand two hundred men are constantly

iron works have caused Johnstown to ex
pand into a good sized town of fifteen thou
sand inhabitants.
A few days since a farmer near Newark,
N. J., was waited upon by a respectable
looking gentleman, who said he had come
to pay for a basket of apples which he had
taken from the orchard when a boy sixteen
years previously. He insisted upon paying
not only for the original value but the inter
est, lhat man is too honesr to be trusted.
Information from North Carolina is to the
effect that secret organizations with revolu
tionary objects.exist in Union county. Out
rages of an aggravated nature are being per
petrated on negroes in Wayne county, and
officers of the law confess themselves afraid
to molest the perpetrators with the remedies
provided by law.
General Ord's report on the condition of
affairs in Arkansas, is frightful. Fifty two
murders of freed persons in variou parts of
the State took place in three or four months,
and the General thinks uot half the real
number was reported. None of the murder
ers have been punished.
Fire. On Jan. 18th, afire occurred in

Mansion at Washington, damaging the

tary of State of Maine show that during

forty-five. .
Gen. Sickle's testimony before the Con
gressional Commiiteein relation to affairs
in South Carolina is very strong. He de
clares that many counties require constant
miliary control to secure to the freedmen any
of their rights,
A correspondent of the Portland Star,
tells a story of an old lady who lived some
where west of Norway, who sent her hus
band to the barn to search for eggs ; he
went, succeeded in finding a few, and when
returning fell and broke his neck. A little
girl in passing by saw the mishap and ran to
tell the forlorn widow the news. "O Lordy,'
said she. "I wonder whether the darned
old fool saved the eggs."
Terrible Disaster, The steamer Platte
Valley, on its way from Memphis to Nash
ville, on the 17th January, struck the wreck
of a gunboat and sunk almost instantly to
the hurricane roof. It is estimated that one
hundred persons were drowned. There were
some forty women and children aboard, most
of whom tost their lives. A tug boat pas
sing saved such as had the preseuce ot mind
to stick to the wreck.
hen Jeff. Davis was in Congress he was
on a committee for the decoration of the
capitol. On one of the paintings purchased
for the purpose, the South was represented
by an Arcadian scene, with a negro in the
inid.t, sleeping on a bale of cottou. Mr.
Davis made a single comment on the pic
ture; "What becomes of the South when
the negro wakes up ?" Perhaps he can an
swer it now.
The excursion party from Philadelphia,
returning home from the inauguration of
Gov. Geary, tell a story of a pick-pocket
who got in their car an 1 proceeded to play
his nefarious business, when he was discov

The conductor interfered, and probably sav
ed the man's lif but had his own pockets
picked in the operation.

Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, who is in
l ahina-ton, states that it is his intention to
confer with leading Congressmen on the sit
uation, lie declares that his own State will
accept anything rat her than ratify the amend

Continent is the insurance, as announced by
Cable, of his personal effects to a large
amount, to be shipped from Mexico.
