How TO KEEP WARM Go to Merrell & Car
ters' and procure one of their excellent stoves
and then make a good fire in it, of course.
How TO TELL If you are DESTROYS of as
certaining the best place to buy good articles
at low prices, consult the columns of the Jour
nal and see who advertises. Business men
who are liberal, always give notice of what
they have, and when they have it for SALE
Buyers should remember this.
IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY When cash is
scarce, as it now is, it is matter of impor-
tance to everybody to buy as much and as good
and serviceable articles as possible for their
money. BY referring to our advertising col
umns it will be seen that VIM. F. Irwin has re-
ceived his stock of Fall and Winter goods,
which he will dispose OF at the most reasona-
BILE prices.
UP-SEr-On last Thursday, the stage
from Tyrone to this place was Within about
mile of Philipsburg, bolt sprung loose (which
caused the top to swing over and upset the
coach. A gentleman named Carney, from O.
hio, had his leg broken above the knee; the
driver received some severe injuries, and ano-
ther passenger was somewhat bruised-no 9TH
ers injured, we believe. We understand that
Mr.. Carney is doing as well as might bo ex-
pected.
REPAIRING THE CoURr HousE.-The Grand
Jury last week recommended, we believe, that
some repairs be made to cur Court House,
suggesting that the rear of the building be torn
out and an extension be built up. We don't
know with what favor such proposition will
be received by the citizens of Clearfeld coun-
ty, but it seems to us, if anything is to be
done, that entire new Court House should
be erected for but an Indifferent job could at
best bemade by patching-besides the expense
incurred in repairing would make nice item
in putting up new building.
LUMBERMEN's MEETIxG.-An adjourned NEE
ana Elk counties, was held at the Court House,
in this place, Tuesday evening, 18th inst,
for the purpose of considering the subject of
log-hoating. Judge LEONARD, President. in
the chair, and d. w. Moore, Secretary. The
proceedings of the former meeting, and the
memorial to the Legislature, prepared by the
Executive Committee appointed at the previ
Gus meeting, were read. After which address
ses were delivered by J. Cutie, Esq, and John
NJ. Chase; and after the transaction of some
further business the meeting adjourned to
meet at the call of the President.
Coon News Tyrone ANDCLEARFIELD RAIL
RoAD.-Last Friday was the day fixed upon by
the officers for the letting of portion of the
above road. a large number of persons were
in Phlipsburg at the time indicated. We
have the cheering announcement TO make that
Messrs. Brady, Maurer and Lingel contracted
to grade and make resdy for the ballast that
part of the road from the town of Philipsburg
to within three miles Of Tyrone city, for the
sum of 100000. 1t seems to us that the COM
pany are getting the grading done at very
reasonable rate. At the same time we trust
that the contractors have such bargain as will
induce them to push the work with vigor to
an early completion. The making of the Ty-
roAe and Clearfeld Railroad is thus reduced to
a certainty, and too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the officers and others who
took an active part in having portion of it
thus early put under contract.
