Clearfield, Pa.
Chan'oe op Firm. By reference to' our
advertising columns it will be seen that Jo
seph ft. Irwin has associated with him Kd.
Moutelius, in the Drug business. Persons
wanting anything in their line are requested
to give them a call.
The New Bridge. The work on the
bridge at the foot of second street has been
commenced and is progressing rapidly. It
will soon be up, and ready for travel. This
is a most important improvement, and will
add greatly to the prosperity of our town.
Agricultural Pair. The Executive
Committee of the Clearfield County Agri
cultuial Society, has decided on holding a
Fair on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th days
of October. The premium, list, etc., was
received, Lut was unavoidably crowded out
this week. It will appear in our next.
New Railroad. A contract has been
entered itito with responsible parties to
build a railroad from Philipsburg to Mor
risdale. The work is to be commenced im
mediately. It will afford an outlet to the
North Eastern part of our County, and will
develop some of the very best coal seams in
this part cf the State.
"SodaFountai.v. Our enterprising young
friend Ari-I.y Shaw has procured and setup
in his Dru store, a beautiful marble soda
fountain, from which issues a most delicious,
tool and sparkling beverage, that makes a
man wish 'his neck was as long as a swan's,
that he might taste it all the way down.
Archy deserves'to be patronized.
Railroad to Pcseyvh.le. We learn
that work was commenced on Monday morn
ing on the railroad from the Mosh;mnon
Coal Mines to Puseyville. The distance to
complete the road is eight miles. It is to
lie finished at once and put in running
order, from 0-Kola to Madera. This will
develop a valuable 'paVt of our county, and
open up a coal field that is sufficient to tup
ply all the markets of the world for years.
The Forum. Our National Aniversary
was permitted to pass without any general
celebration in Clearfield. Some of the
young folks had a pic-nie at Liberty springs,
and the still more juvenile America reveled
in fire-crackers, chasers, grass-hoppers, and
torpedoes. The usual quantity of bad whis
key manifested itself, and a riuriiber of in
dividuals left town with bricks in their hats
The thermometer stood at 94 in the shade.
Tut. Normal School. The County Su
perintenJant Mr. G. W. Snyder, assisted by
Prof. Gcist, of Lancaster County, has been
conducting a Normal School in the town
hall for some months past. The school has
been attended by nearly fifty students, male
and female, preparing themselves for tcach
vrs. It has been eminently successful. Prof.
Heist is an able and competent instructor,
ami the pupils in attendance have been earn
est and indefatigable in their efforts to ac
quire knowledge. The session will close in
about two weeks.
DKri.iKH. We ham that David Buck,
the on;; armed soldier who was a Democrat
ic candidate for Ilegistei ami Recorder, has
been shoved off the track. David wlil coon
learn, if he has not already discovered it,
that a wounded soldier is the very last man
who can get an office from the Copperheads.
If he had lost this arm in the relcl army,
he would have been nominated by acclauia
m. Especially had he nx chance against
l-e, whose name alone is a tower of strength
h the Democracy. A name so dearly
Wol vy Copjierheads and traitors, is suffi
"jeia in tclt to secure the nomination.
I'Ri ement. The waiht of the vesti
bule and hall in the Court House are being
t ainted. This wa nuioli needed as it will
preve the plastering, and hide the vulgar
and obseene seribbling with wb.eh the build
kad been defaced. We trust the Couimis
Moueri will continue the good work by hi
MR the Court room frescoed. It is greatl
needed, not only as a matter of ornament,
but as a remedy for the acoustic defect
The difficulty of hearing in the Court room
w caused, in a great measure, by the echo
produced by the sudden rebound of the
oice from the hard finished and polished
walls. If these were painted in colors, the
trouble would be.in agreatdegrce.rcmoved.

We advise all young people who intend
going from home to school, to go to the
State Normal School at Edinboro. It is
cheap, thorough and practical.
The Normal School is well provided with
facilities for preparing teachers. It has a
superior set of apparatus. Text books in
the common branches are furnished free.
We CAS assure our readers that Barrett's
Vegetable Restorative is a really valuable
preparation, and that a trial is all that is
needed to convince any one of its excellency.
Pittsburgh Advocate.
Woodruff's Barometors. Attention
is directed to the advertisement of these in
valuable articles, which will be found in
another part of to-day's ;aper. To the
farmer, to whom a knowledge of the com
ing storui is of immense value, these Ba
rometors, when once tried, will be found
indispensable ; and as th cost is but trifling
we fancy few will be without them. Send
for circular.
Truth. The only correct way to test the
assertions of business men is to give them a
trial. Proof conclusive is daily adduced,
that Bennett, Blattcnberger & Co. make
no promises to break them. The crowds
daily waiting, to be waited upon, in their
Mammoth Store at Osceola, attest the fact
that they sell goods cheaper than any other
house in the county. Try their fresh goods
received daily.
Personal History of U. S. Grant.
liy Albert D. llicliardson. This work is
authentic, authorized, and approved. Writ
ten with the knowledge, consent, and full
concurrence of the illustrious General. It
differs essentially fnra the many "Lives of
Grant" now appearing before the public,
and should by no means be classified with
them. While recording his illustrious
achievements both in the Field and Cabinet,
it will yet be personal, rather than martial
or political, free from military technicalities
or partisan coloring, depicting not merely
the exploits of Grant the soldier, but the
entire life of Grant the man, his daily hab
its and con versa' ion, his thoughts and his
motives, as evinced in his acts and words,
under all the many different circumstances
of his eventful career, giving, in fact, a full
and clear exhibit of the inner, as well as the
outer man. It is profusely illustrated and
finely printed. Ellis L. Irwin, of this
borough, is the authorized agent for its sale,
who will call on our citizens and solicit their

Letter From Judge Linn.
To the People of the 25tu Judicial
District :
I am about to resign the office of Presi
dent Judge. Had my personal interests and
inclinations been alone consulted, I would
have done so at least four years ago. But,
on making known at that time, privately,
my desire to resign, to several of the most
prominent and discreet men of the district,
without distinction of party, they united in
suggesting that I would be doing injustice
to my constituent should I resign in the
midst of the excitement that prevailed du
ring the war, and thus require the people
to elect a successor at a most unpropitious
period. Conceding the force and propriety
of the su- gestion, I abandoned my purpose
for the time being, though at the sacrifice
of my personal wishes. I felt then that my
sedentary habits were inj uring my health,
and that a change to more active pursuits
would be greatly to my advantage. Since
then the baneful influence of a sedentary
life has been gradually growing upon me,
untile within a few weeks past my physician
has, in kind, but unmistakable language,
warned me that if I would escape serious
and permanent injury to my health, a change
must be made in my manner of life, and
that too without delay. This determined
me to hesitate no longer, and to give up my
office at once.
The only question left was, When shall
my resignation take effect? In this behalf
I determined to act honorably and consci
entiously leaving consequences to fall where
they might. A careful consideration of the
subject has led me to conclude that it is my
duty to resign just now, so as to allow the
people to fill the vacancy at the first gener
al election that shall occur hereafter. I re
ceived my office lrom the? people of the dis
trict, and when I can no longer serve therein,
a sense of honor and justice prompts me to
give back that which was conferred upon
me as a sacred trust, immediately to the
people from whom I received it, that they
may transfer it to a person of their own
choice, in the manner provided by the Con
stitution and laws of the Commonwealth.
I would be ungrateful indeed, were I to
retire from my official position without ex
pressing to you, publicly, my sincere thanks
for the uniform kindness with which you
have treated me during Hie whole of my
teriu, and the manner in which my official
acts and determinations have been received
and sustained by a constituency by far too
intelligent to expect in any judicial officer an
entire freedom lrom mistakes in judgment.
My frailties and shortcomings have been
doubtless not a lew, and I have had, there
fore great need of the charitable support
and indulgence of the people. Of one thing,
however, I am certain : That in not a single
instance have I ever wilfully erred, or with
held from any man his rights, but have
anxiously and earnestly endeavored to do
my whole duty. I lay aside the robes of
office with a conscience void of offence to
ward men. In judgment I may have erred
often in intention, NEVER.
Bespeaking for my successor in office,
whosoever he may happen to be, that uni
form kindness and courtesy that it has been
my good fortune always to experience at
your hands,
I remain, your obedient servant,
Samuel Linn.

of his age.
Obituary :
William E. Murray, the subject of this
notice, was born April 1st, 1847, and died
May 22d, 1868, at the residence of his fa
ther, Alexander Murray, in Girard town
ship, Clearfield county, Pa., in the 22d year
of his age. Grout respect for his parents
and ready compliance with their wishes
manifested by a true appreciation of their
kindness and of his indebtedness to them;
an integrity of purpose and habits of industry
and economy, joined with an ardent desire
to acquire an education and thus to better
qualify himself ior the stern realities of life,
and a naturally affable disposition by which
he rapidly gained fast friends were the
prominent traits of his character.
His sickness was severe, and continued
two weeks. Though his mind was much af
fected by the ravages of his disease (Typhoid
fever), he was at all times resigned to the
will of God. A few days before his decease
he said "that he was not afraid to die."
"Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast 1 lean my head
And breathe my life out sweetly there,"
And then when the shadows of death
gathered about him he confidently exclaim
ed "that God had been with him during his
sickness and Ha would not forsake him in
the end."
Thus has passed away in the flush of ear
ly manhood one who gave promise of a life
whose career would have honored his pa
rents and his country, and gathered around
him a host of friends. As we mourn the
departure of one so young, and are startled
at this n ysterious dispensation of Divine
Providence, we look up through our tears
to God and read "What thou knowest not
now thou shalt know hereafter."
To the sorrowing parents and family,
whose generous hospitality I shared during
tie first days of his sickness and when I
learned to feel most deeply for the suffering
one, I extend sincere sympathy ; gently bid
ding them look forward to Heaven as the
great place where broken families shall come
together in a ceaseless union. - He is not
lost ; only gone before. W a. D.

medicinally termed, extracts) of Roots, Herbs.and
Bark 5, making a prep aration, highly concen
trated, and entirely free from alcoholic ad

Is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit

Orange, Ac , making one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public.
Those preferring a Medicine free from Alcohol

Those who have no objection to the combination
of the Bitters, as stated, wifl nse
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
Taey are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonie being
the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, such as
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, etc., is
very apt to have its functions dor an Red. The
Liver, sympathising as closely as itdoes with
the Stomach, then be comes affected. the result
of which is that the patient suffers from several
or more ot the following diseases:
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fulness
of Blood to the Head. Aeidity of the Stomach,
Nausea, Heartburn, Dirgost for Food, Fulness
or Weight in the Stomach, SourEructations,

Twenty-two years since they were first intro
duced into tbis country from Germany, during

These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com

to the whole system, the appetite is streugthed,
food is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the

rior to any in use, and will last tor generations.
It is made from Magnetie Iron tbs square
gnxtved, spiral-twisted and galvanised, and con
nected with pure copper couplings, rendering it
equal to a eor-per rod.the whole surmounted with
a Gold-plated cluster point of pure copper, thus
forming a continuoas rod from the point to the
ground the combination 0f metals forming a
galvauio battery in the r.t
It is warraxtko alwaya to remain bright and
clean, and will never corrode or rust, tnus pre
senting a neat ornamental appearance on the
building, worth mors than its cost as a matfer of
ornament, to say nothing about its sure prot action
against lightning.
lo sbow the popularity ot tbe tialvanized Star
Rod, it ia only necessary to say that the pmpri
etora have pulled off wore than one hundred tona
of old rusty irons, within twelve months, from
colleges, academies, public buildings, barns, etc.,
and put up the star Rod in tbeir place.
As the "Star" is better and sold at a less' price
than any other rod. is more durable and more or
namental, persons should consult their own iritei--
csU and safety to life and property, before tHey
have a red erected on their buildings.
All that is necessary to convince tbe publi of
the superiority of the Star Lightning Rod. it a
thorough examination into its construction and
scientific eombination.
The undersigned, being the Agents for Clrar
