DAMNIxG BIRD.-We find In one Of our
exchanges a singular instance of esdamning a
flood'' Of song. The writer of the anecdote
says:
GA friend OF ours has had for a long time
very superior Canary bird, which has been
celebrated for its excellency as songster,
and for which he has been offered large sums
ofmoney. About three weeks ago, our friend,
being awakened from nap by its voice, rose
and hastily exclaimed, ed-n that Bird The
bird, then at the height of its song, suddenly
ceased its note, and from. that time TO the pres
.ent has never warbled or even chirped, but
has maintained unbrolen silence. What phil
osophy of instinct, or of mutual affection be-
tween man and his pets can account for this?''

CLEARFIELD WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY q, 1855.

spots, as they think the most convenient this
lasts until one O'Clock, 2. NJ, SO that the whole
square is thronged with people. One O'Clock
is usually the time of the appearance of the
Pope on the balcony of the church dead si-
lence prevails throughout the whole mass of
people; every eye is directed to the spot, with
watches in the hand, the minutes are counted;
in the mean time the balcony is filing with
cardinals, bishops, and monks; the attention
becomes so rivited, that sigh might be heard,
at length the Pope appears in an arm chair,
carried upon the shoulders of eight persons be-
tween two gigantic fans. Then the deafening
shouts of the people, the sonorious martial mu-
sic, the roaring Of the cannon rend the clouds
''Padre la saatU benediei2nc,'' Gather the holy
blessing bursts from every mouth; the hand
ierchiefs are waved by the ladies, and the hats
by the men. All PROSTATE themselves upon
the ground, they receive the blessing from the
Pope; 4 prelate then reads the so called
s.Balla Crna Donlini,'' in which the most hor-
rible curses against the hereties and iMfdeis are
pronounced, and blessing upon all the faith
ful. Thus ends the spectacle for this time.
Ia the afternoon all the promenades are vis-
tied, the wine houses filed, the places Of
amusement enjoyed until the evening, when all
again repaired to the square of St. Peters to
enjoy the illumination of the cupola. The Gu
pola is illuminated by three hundred persons,
who are stationed with lighted torches within
the interior, in order that they should not be
seen and as soon as the first stroke of seven
O'Clock is heard, they rush forward and light
the lamps assigned unto each of item, so that
in one minute the whole cupola is Illuminated;
even the cross on the top has three lights. In
addition to this, the reflection Of these lights
in the spouts of the gigantic fountains, where
every drop in the air is like prism, and rep
resents thousands Of rainbows, is above all de-
scription. When Joseph III. Of Austria, visit
ed Rome, the Pope gave ap illumination in
honor of that august stranger; when he had
watched the spouting fountains for for a short
time, he said: at is enough" But how much
greater was his surprise when he was informed
that these were prcpetual fountains. And al
thc first stroke of seven O'Clock the Secretary
Of State asked him for pinch Of snuff. and in
the time the emperor Of Austria turned to give
his snuif-boX, the whole cupola appeared in fire.
Joseph was 50 astonished, that he would not
take the snuff-box back, but gave it as a pres
ent to the cardinal, Secretary of State.

TERRIBLE SCENE AT A BALL.

At Madrid, lady gave ball, and among
the guests were NJ. R and Mdlle. B.
1t was observed that the young man constant
ly kept close TO the youig lady, and followed
her when she went from one part ofthe room
to the other. 1t was alsorot ced that she seem
ed greatly annoyed by his attentions.
The mother of the young lady wished to in
terfere, but the mistress OF the house, anxious
to avoid an unpleasant scene. prevented her.
At late hour, a lady of high rank ahd her
daughter were announced, and the whole party
rose to receive them. NJ. R, taking ad-
vantage of the sli ght confusion which was cre-
ated, seized Mdlle. B, by the hand, and
whispered in her ear. She turned pale, then
blushed, and replied in low voice.
Thereupon the young man, without saying a
word, pulled poignard from his pocket, and
stabbed the youdg lady in the breast, and then
stabbed himself near the heart. Both fell
bathed in blood. a surgeon was Immediately
sent for, and on his arrival he found that the
wound of the young lady was not mortal, as
the poignard had struck the sternum, but the
young man was quite dead.
1t is said that NJ. R had long sought
Mdlle. BIN marriage, but that she refused
to accept him, and that meeting her at the ball,
he again pressed her to accept his addresses,
but that she again peremptorily refused.

DoN'T CARRY GOALS TO NEwCAsTLE.-Many
people make the grand mistake of endeavoring
to adapt themselves to persons distinguished
for particular talents or attainments. The fault
is in the effort to get into theirvein-to be wit
ty with witty people, to tell stories with good
story tellers, to discuss deep subjects with
learned men, and. generally, to be sympathet-
ically sucked into the drift of the nearest cur
rent. This is mistake all round. No mans
hobby will carry double. The attempt must fail;
for, if you are inferior to the man you pitch
into, he sets you down for bore, and is dis
gusted; if you clearly excel him, he feels
that you are bully and he hates you.
There are these two good reasons for being
easy, natural and yourself with rybody-
nothing else suits you and nothing else is ask
ed Of You. There are two more reasons for the
same thng-persons Of good taste dislike any
thing else; and you are wanted in your own ma
tural shape to fit your company ball and sock
ct fashion. Nothing packs society together so
well as for some one to be hollow just where
somebody else bulges. Be receptive, therefore
te the man Of science; enjoy the joker without
struggle for supremacy, and play conductor
for the electricity of the wit; then if there is
anything in the fellows, you'll get it out of
them and contribute best to the enjoyment of
the company; and besides, if there is nothing
particular in you, (Which is barely probable,
but still possible) you won't expose yourself
and annoy other pcople.-Periycopics.

WHITE FOR MOURNING.

How very beautifu! and appro-
pirate is white at the funeral Of a
young maiden-typical of purity
and expressive Of gentleness, and
freedom from tie stain Of earthly
blemi3h. There is a lightness and
ETHEREAL character about it admirably
adapted to the occasion, contrasting
with the solemn sack cloth with
which grief is accustomed to be
clothed.
We wish we could see it generally
adopted, and the old fashions Of
black mourning should be confined
to special cases, and for definite
periods, instead of the requisition of
social custom in protractIng its use
beyond certain appropriate limits.
We a'wa~s pity the poor widow who
is doomed by the trammeiS ofsocitey
to envelope herself in the heavy
folds of bombazine for years and to
be weighed down, with oppressive
heat At the summer solstice, because
it is expected Of them. We have
often felt for them, and know their

health is seriously injured by such
necessity. Is it not really fashion it
must be called-and should it not be
modified so as to be expressive of
sorrow, without being destructive of
comfort or of health? Why should
there not be a summer costume
adapted for mourning, if black must
be used, which is only suitable for
winter? A plain white cambria
dress, with everything white and
plain to suit, with a single black
ribbon to show that it is mourning
would be better for health and COM

tine Mott, Van Buren,, Post, CaInochan, who at
once d scovered that they possessed strange aud
irOndcyIui power IN almost instantly relieving all
nervous pain wieJCrer iGrGic6; and so satisfactory
were the results produced in every case, that their
opinions were published through the pnb'ic press,
ind thousands have been ndnccd 10 Try them, and
in no single instance have 'hoy failed to perform
all we advertise TO do. They are patented ia this
