One of the firm, Mr. Bartlett,) will reside
permanently in San Francisco. and will give his

The advantages of permanent residence in
San Francisco, in purchasing goods, must be OBJ
viOus to all.
Having had about fifteen years experience in
the Eastern States and San Francisco, and two
years residence in the mining region, thereby
becoming familiar with the wants of the mining g
trade and not being interested in the sale of goods,
we feel justified in offering our services to the
merchants of the interior, and hope by CAREFUL,
PROMPT, and FAITHFUL attention to orders, to

Orders should be accompanied with the

Gen. Ckss, presented to the Senate the Sword
worn by Gen. Jackson atthe battle of New Or
leans. 1t was accepted, and resolution of
thanks to the donors adopted. The House
received the sword, and concurred in the Sen

passed both houses. Also bill to reduce and
modify the rates of postage, and requiring the
registration of letters of value. The Bill

Cameron had So votes; Buckalew had % :;

At long last, the secrets of this mysterious
Order. have leaked out The great story ha.
| been told, the unholy scheme developed II
was left for the transcendent genius and lofty
wisdom of THOMAS MAHAFFEY, "a most renown-
ed author of New Washington, in the county
of Clearfeld, and State of Pennsylvania to
make the startling and unparalleled exposi-
| ton His name win go down to posterity
crowned with never fading wreath of laurels,
| and 'sa democratic paper.' will be forever i'm
| mortalized, having published the thrilling and
| intensely interesting document
1t was a most fortunate thing for the world,
that Thomas was defeated aspirant for the
high and honorable Office of Justice of the
Peace, else they would never have discovered
the slength, breadth, and depth of his mighty
genius Truly may we exclaim with the i'm
mortal Spokeshave-
s'Great oaks from little acorns grow
when we reflect that this mighty avalanche of
wisdom all started from a little township cleo
tion in Burnside! Like the confession of
many murderer, .'if the rope had not broke, y
the world would still have been left in dark
ness, and the powerful rays of Thomas's intel
lect would never have rradiated the hills and
vallies of Clearfeld.
Most sincerely do we regret that we have
not room to give to our readers a production
of such absorbing interest, especially as it ac-
cords to our humble self the power of con-
trolling the politics of Clearfield county. 1t
makes US the Lord High Admiral, or Father
Confessor Of all .sSam's'' men in this region,
position to which almost any man might as
pire. He regret for our own sake, as well as
for Thomas that there is not more truth in
the story.
There is one feature of Tommy's article
that looks suspicious. and that is, if he tells
the truth, he must be wilfIl and deliberate
periurer, while on the contrary, if his exposi-
ton is not correct he is deceiying his fellow
citizens, and is liar! The oath which he
says he took, winds up as follows-ssall of
which rOluatartaily and freely subscribe to,
SO help me God - Now it does seem to us
that e man who would violate an oath, ssrolua-
tariafiy'' and ::ireeiy'' taken, would do almost
anything-stealing not excepted. We may
be mistaken, and for Tommy's sake, We hope
We are, but We very much fear, that in his en-
deayors to hand his name down to posterity,
he has got himself into an ugly predicament
Still. we viii charitably suppose that he has
been dreaming, and that he has only put on
paper the phantasmagoria Of his wandering
brain the night he fell asleep in his s:wagon
shed.''
We regret that Tommy has forgotten to en-
tighten us as to the signs, prips, passwords.
and other mysteries of the Order, but perhaps
he has reserved these for future OCCASION
If so, We hope to hear from him speedily, and
IN the mean time, we would say to him by
way of encouragement, in the startling Ian
guage of Paradise Lost, SEQ it bobtail!''

PRoHIBIToRY STATE CoMMIrTEE

a meeting Of the Prohbitory State Central
Committee has been called by the President.
for Tuesday, the 18th inst, at Harrisburg, to
consider the propriety of uniting upon some
one of the various Liquor Bills now before the
Legislature, and securing its passage. AS there
is but little probability of the passage of Pro-
hibitory law this winter, it is the policy of the
Temperance men to obtain all the restrictive
legislation possible. They will thus weaken
the opposition, and pave the way for ths final
triumph of the Prohibitor,- movement

We have no doubt that if called into field.
the young gentlemen viii make excellent Off
GERS, and do credit to the Governors Judgment
IN selecting his officials. We hope, however, it
may be long time before the community will
be compelled TO sustain the loss of their pres

battle strife Should they ever do so, all we
ask is, that they shall discharge their military
duties on the 'stented feld,'' as well as they
do their social and civil obligations among
their neighbors.

in Philadelphia, mentioned in the verdict the
name of the tavern keeper who sold the de-
ceased the rum that killed MIN. If all the
iuries in similar cases would follow this exam

be cautious about selling liquor to inebriates,
where there was a probability of their figuring
as aders and abettors in his death, in the
