WORTH DRAGGING ABoUr.-We have the least
quantity of provisions, the highest prices, the
muddiest roads, and the finest prospect of
sshard times'' in Clearfield of any county in
the interior of the State. We trust this fiat
terng account won't induce too many to emf
CRATE at once-"one at time' will answer.
LOCAL ITEMS are scarce. We should feel o.
bliged to any one that would kick up row,
(we don't mean ourself,) or pull somebody's
nose and raise fight, elope with some ones
wife, get s.bricks enough in his hat" to repair
the Jail, rob a hen-roost, and matter of
course leave the pulets in our care, or do
something else that would be worth noting.

the ballots Of the Hagerstown box, says The
Chronicle, they discovered a love-letter among

swain had deposited instead of his tick0t. AS
there was no such candidate before the peo
ple as the one whose name was attached to the
letter, the vote was, of course, lost.

fuses to lay before the Legislature the resolu-
fions Of the New Hampshire Legislature trans
mitted through the Governor of that State.

Kline, of Bradford township, Clearfield county,
picked up incidentally on his fam, several
Jumps of what proved to be rather pure
article of lead ore. The Jumps when broken
are very bright, presenting almost the appear
ance of polished zinc, and when placed under
the action of a strong heat, resolve into mai
liable lead. We have specimen in our pos
session. Should there be any consideraoie
quantity of this ore, it would prove very vaiu-
able. There is an old Indian tradition tnat In
