CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 15, 1867.
p-..n. a Clearfield Bailroad.
ahiiWrsrt--V'l'i!:SiS.

Ice Cream- An ice cream festival will
come off at Mrs. S. J. Row's, on Saturday
evening, May 18th the proceeds to be ap
plied to making some repairs in the Luther
an Church edifice. --. .
A QriCK Trip. The Harrisburg Tele
graph says, that on Thursday, May 9th, six
men run a raft from Port Treverton to
Higfepire in seven hours undoubtedly the
fastest time made by any raftsmen.
Onio-;s for Poultry. It is said that
the feeding of onions to poultry is a preven
tive of disease. The onions bhould be giv
en two or three times a week, chopped up
with a little corn meal. The suggestion is
worth a trial, at least.
! Paints, etc. Persons desirous of pur
chasing paints, brushes, varnishes, etc, will
find it to their advantage to buy at Harts
wick & Irwin's who are just opening a large
assortment in that line, at their Drug Store
on Market ' Street, Clearfield. See advertisement.
Mercantile Change. By reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen that
the firm of Showers & Graham was, by
mutual consent, dissolved on the 10th of
May. The books are in the hands of Jlr.
Graham for settlement, who will continue
the business as heretofore.
Good. The Bellefonte Watchman says:
'"The Spring Creek Canal is not, by any
means, dead stock on the hands of the own
ers, as a dividend has been declared lor J uly
next it being the intention of the board of
directors to have the tow path mowed and
the hay divided among the stock holders."
Slightly "sarkastik," that
Tips. The N. Y. -Post says: We are
surprised to see children wearing shoes with
ragged holes at the toes wasting their pa
rent's money, and endangering their heal: h,
when for a trifle more, shoes with Copper
or the new and beautiful silver Tips can be
had which never wear out at the toes, thus
preventing these two serious evil..
ASiiad "Skll." Two weeks since the
Bellefonte Watchman stated that "one of
.the boys employed in that office, had caught
twe large shad at the end of the Spring
Creek bridge, in that place." The "bait
took," and accordingly several gentlemen in
Harrisburg were as badly "old",as the
had were on being sold to Meek.
Improvements. The spirit of improve
ment is quite active about town, at present.
Several dwellings are just being finished.
Three others are rapidly approaching com
pletion, whilst preparations are going for
ward for the erection of number of others.
The work on the new Presbyterian church
in also being pushed forward rapidly. All
this portends an unusual degree of prosper
ity for Clearfield, i i the future.
The Weather. On Tuesday of last
week snow, to the depth of about two inch
es, fell in parts of this county, and on Mon
day morning last wc had some hail at this
place. Surely, winter lingers io the lap of
spring, and is retarding farming operations
greatly. In fact, so far, but little farm work
has been done. It is hoped, however, that
winter is at end, that spring is here, and
that we may be blessed with a plentiful har
vest in due season.
Man Drowned. It is with regret that
ire announce the accidental . drowning of a
citizen of this county. It seems that on
Saturday, May 11th, two rafts, which were
being run by John W. Haslet, us pilot, ac
cidentally went over Shamokin dam, and
were torn to pieces, and Cortes Bloom, of
Pike township, was drowned. Wash. Lin
ley also came near being drowned, but was
rescued, receiving only a number of severe
bruises. We have not learned whether the
of young Bloom was recovered or not.
WHrrrwAsniNQ. Cellars, fences, out
buildings, etc;, should be thoroughly white
washed before warm weather' sets in. 'Lime
" a great purifier, and cannot be too freely
sed. The following is said to be a good
ipe for making whitewash :cTake a clean
4lr tight barrel or rather suitable cask, and
Pu in half a bushel of lime. Slack it by
Pouring water over it, boiling hot, and put
" sufficient quantity to "cover it five inches
P, and stir it briskly until thoroughly
"aided. When the slacking has been ef
ted, dissolve in water.and add two pounds
sulphate of tine, and one of common
These will cause the wash to harden,
Prevent its oracking, which gives an un
appearance to the work.

Centre County. A man named Rice, j

residing UCar WJG AJJI IU X JbLl IVH M
ship, died from exposure while returning
from Centre Hall, on the 2d May. He was
found by the roadside the next morning.
Cause; whisky.
Lycoming County. The Williamsport
Gazette, of May 9th, says: "The high hills
north-east of this city are to-day covered
with snow. .A strange contrast their wintry
tops present with the green and blooming
foliage all around us." ,
Clarion County. On April ZQth., Mrs.
Martin, a lady 67 years of age, living nsar
the "Stone House," in Ashland township
while seated in a chair complained of a se
vere pain in her left shoulder, and, as she
spoke, her head fell back . and she instantly
expired. Cause; heart-disease.
Indiana County. On May 3d, Robt
Dodson, of Indiana, had his leg broken,
whilst engaged in hauling goods to Cherry
tree. He accidentally fell from the wagon,
when a front wheel run over and broke his
leg above the ankle. ... A large wolf was
killed by Andrew Fisher, of Grant town
ship, which came into his barn yard week
before last.
Fayette County. On May 7th, a young
man named George Stacey, met with a hor
rible death at Overholt's distillery. He was
engaged in stirring and watching two fer
menting tubs filled with warm beer, when,
it is supposed, he made a miss step and fell
backwards into one of the tubs and was
drowned. He was discovered and taken
out about fifteen minutes after he had been
seen at work.
McKean County. The "oil fever" is
likely to rage again in this county. Last
season a well was sunk near Bradford, and
oil obtained, but not in paying quantities.
A few days since, however, it was discover
ed that the well was flowing oil several
bnckcts-full of which were caught. The
flow was estimated at twenty barrels, but
most of it was lost before vessels could be
procured to save it So, look out for the
"fever." Query. When will the Clear
field well flow twenty barrels ?
Blair County. Mr. George Emerich, a
carpenter, had three of his ribs broken, be
sides being badly bruised, at Johnson's Roll
ing Mill, at Hollidaysburg,on May 1st. He
was repairing a fly-wheel, and while on
the inside of it the engine was started,
which turned the wheel and carried him
with it. After receiving the injuries
named lie was taken off by some men. . . .
The merchant, tailoring establishment of
Thos, Elway, of Altoona, was broken into
on the night of May 2d, and robbed of be
tween $400 and $500 worth of goods. This
is the third time Mr. E. has been robbed,
within a short time.
Tue Christian Ministry. Of late years
it has frequently happened that ministers
of the Gospel have changed their locations,
not on account of the waning of their influ
ence for good, but simply bec iuse they were
offered larger salaries in other localities.
In fact, this habit of "accepting calls" be
cause of being offered a "larger salary,"
seems to prevail to such an extent, through
out the land, as even to attract the atten
tion of the secular press a fact, worthy
the serious consideration of every truly faith
ful Christian minister. A change to a field
of greater usefulness is perfectly in accord
ance with the calling of a preacher of the
Gospel, but a change merely on account of
"better pay" is a rather doubtful procedure.
On this subject the following article from
the Harrisburg Telegraph will, no doubt, be
read with interest by many :
"The practice of preachers of the Gospel
leaving one locality where they are confes
sedly doing great good, where they are sup
ported couitorlably, and where all their
wants are liberally supplied the practice of
these gentlemen leaving such localities and
severing their connection with churches
where their influence in furthering the cood
cause is incalculable, to accept calls in other
directions, merely because they are offered
a few dollars more salary, is attracting the
attention' and exciting the disgust of good
men belonging to all churches. Wc could
mention halt a dozen cases connected with
congregations located within a circle of a
hundred miles around Harrisburg, where
ministers of the Gospel have suddenly sev
ered their connection with such congrega
tions at a time when the highest interests of
religion demanded they should not go, but
they nevertheless went, because they had
"calls" that "paid better'' than where they
were stationed. It is all right erough that
a minister of the gospel should carefully
look after his pecuniary interests, in order
that the temporal welfare of a growing fam
ily may be promoted, and the education and
settlement, in this world, of his children
may be provided for, but in nine cases out
of ten (we confess it with sorrow and hu
niiliation) the sordid qualities of human na
ture, too powerful for clerical control, ob
trude themselves where money, "the root
of all evil," should never be allowed to ex
ert an influence. The preacher who leaves
a congregation where his earthly wants are
well catered to, where the comfort of his
family is carefully promoted, merely to im
prove his pecuniary condition, and, as it
were, ad.l to h's wealth the preacher of the
gospel who does this, may be a good man,
but it is a debatable question whether he
comes up fully to the character for which a
servant of Jesus Christ should be respected
Changing pulpits merely for pay is huck
stering in religion, and debasing the glori
ous calling of a minister of God."
The interest on our publio debt is now
something over $11,000,000 every month.

(CONVERSION OF 7 3-10s.-In reply
to numerous inquiries in regard to the
manner of converting the August 7 3-10s into the
new 5-20 (Jold Coupcn Bonds we mase the follow
ing statement for the beuefit of the holders of
7 a-10s. who may not be informed. - The Govern
ment computes the interest on both bonds in cur
rency from the date of the'maturity of the last
coupon, allowing seven and three-tenths on the
7 3-10 j, and charging six per cent on the 5-20s.
For example: You send to Washington $i ,000

You pay Government : 4 76
It will be seen by this that the Gold interest is
given as currency, which is of itse It a profit to
the party converting the 7 3-1 0s of nearly eight
dollars per $1,000, aside from the fact that at the
present rate of Gold, say 40. the 5-208 pay over 8
per cent pernnuin At present we are convert
ing the 7 3-T0s on much better terms than the
Gorernment. as the present buying and selling
rates enables us to allow the holder of the 7 3-1 Os
a better figure than has yet been offered by any
oda as a commission.
Parties exchanging through us, in addition to
getting much better terms than they can from the
Government, will have their bond delivered im
mediately, thus saving delay. Ve also register
any bonds sent to us without charge. On Bonds
sent by express we pay charges both ways.

DR. SCIIENCK'S PULMONIC SYR
UP. This great medicine cured Dr. J. H. Scbeock,
the preprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, wbon
it had assumed its most formidable aspect, and
when speedy death appeared to be inevitable.
His physicians pronounced his case incurable,
when he commenced the use of this simple but
powerful remedy. His health was restored in a
very short time, and no return of the disease has
been apprehended, for all the symptoms quick'y
disappeared, and his present weight is more than
two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery. he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of consumption, and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it,
and tjhe cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr. Schenck
makes professional visits to several of the. larger
cities weekly, where he has a large concourse of
patients, and it is truly astonishing to see poor
consumptives that have to be lifted out of their
carriages, and in a few months healthy, robust
persons. Dr Schenck "s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are generally
all required in curing consumption. Full direc
tions accompany each, so that any one ean take
them without seeing Dr. Schenck, but when it is
convenient it is best to see him. He gives advioe
free, but for a thorough examination with his
Respirometer bis fee is three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor one when in the last
stage of consumption, and the other as be now is,
in perfect health are on the Gouernment stamp.
Sold by all druggists and dealers. Price J I 50
per' bottle, or $7 50 the halt dozen. Letters for
advice should always be directed to Vr. Schenck'a
