THE WAR ON CLEARFIELD CREEK.-We re-
ceived, a few days since, a communication
from Woodward township, signed ssA Citizen,''
giving the Log -foaters version of the difficult
ty which occurred at Driftwood Island on the
1st instant. The fioaters throw the blame up
on the raftsnen. and the writer says a reaction
of public sentiment in favor of the fioaters
has taken place in consequence of the extreme
measures resorted to by the former, and thinks
the latter should have fair hearing. No rea-
sonabie man would object to that; but mas
much, however, as the communication con-
tains some differences which, in our opinions
would only embitter the parties against each
other, and as the matter will be judicialy in
vestigated and the facts fully brought to light
and made public, we deem i: prudent and best,
with all due Difference to the writer, to omit it.
