CLEARFIELD, PA, MAY IS, 1857
TEMPERANCE MEErISa.-The Washintonans

yited to attend G.. PHILIP GUELIcH,

ScALDEp.-A small child of Mr.. Thomas

tea-kettle of boiling water over ITSELF 1t is
convalescent.
CHARLES d. WATSON, ESQ.,, the new Post
Master at Clearield Borough, entered upon the
duties of his appointment on last Saturday.
The office is kept in the same room which Mr..
Watson occupies as Drug Store.
Cur HIS HEAD.-Whilst lad of Mr.. Andrew
Shugart, of this borough, was cutting with an
axe, on last Wednesday, younger brother
came too close, and the descending axe cut a
large cash in the top Of his head.
The FIRST OF THE SEAsoN.-Wm. F. Irwin,
has Just returned from the city with large and
well selected stock OF Seasonable Goods, which
he is opening out at his store room in Clear
field Borough, and will dispose of at the most
reasonable prices. See Advertisement
A BILL fixing the fees of the District Attor-
ney in Clearfield and number of other coun-
ties, at S6 in cases tried, and SO where bills
are ignored or a nolle prosequi entered, passed
both branches of our Legislature and has been
signed by the Governor.
LOCAL NEws.-We would be obliged if any
OF our friends in different sections of the coun-
ty would furnish us with occurrences that
would be of interest to our readers Ministers
and Justices would also confer favor by sem
ding marriage or death notices.
FIRE IN THE WooDs.-We understand that
fires have broken out in the woods in differ
cnt sections of the country, ard are destroying
timber, &c. On last Sunday, fire broke out
on the hill East of town, but we believe
no other particular damage was done than to
burn several cords of wood for Gen. A. NJ.
Hills, which was stacked up in clearing.
WE direct the attention of persons desirous
Of procuring Marble Work Of any description,
to the advertisement of Messrs. s. a. Gibson
& Co.., of Bellefonte, in another column Of to-
days Journal.
Attention is also called to the advertisement
of Geo. W. Orr, who has recommended the
blacksmithing business at the old shop, on
Third street, Clearfeld borough.
MONEY WASTED.-Wc would remind such of
our patrons as are in arrears, that we, like ev-
erybody else, are in need of money, and would,
therefore, respectfully, yet earnestly, urge
them to give us a call as soon as convenient,
or remit to us by mail. The ensuing Court
week will give many an opportunity of attend
ing to this matter. SO, roll in, gentlemen
We shall be happy to see you, at any time.
BoDY FouSD.-Last Wednesday the body of
a man was drifted out on some brush some
where in the neighborhOod of Moore's, in Clin-
ton county, which has been identified as that
of Mr.. James Flanagan, of this place, who
was drowned at the s.Big Pitch,'' on Easter
Sunday. The body, we believe, was inferred
at the place where it was found. Moore's is
about SO miles from the place where Mr.. Flan-
negan was drowned.
RAFTING.-During last week, nearly, if rot
quite all, the timber, lumber and spar RATS
from Cherry-trec, Chest creek, &c, passed
this point on their way to market. We sup
pose that a great portion OF the RATS in Clear
field creek, and other tributaries of the West
Branch, also passed down, and in a short time
we may expect to see some money afioat in
Clearfield, and times easier than they have
been for some months.
SOMETHING SENsIBLE.-The following item
of sensible advice is taken from Halls Jour
nal of Health, and we think it not out of place
10 insert it, as it is peculiarly applicable to
this region :-ssDress children warmly, woolen
flannel next their person during the whole
year. BY every consideration protect the ex-
tremities WELL 1t is an ignorant barbarism
that allows a child to have bare arms, and legs,
and feet, even in summer. The circulation
should be invited to the extremities warmth
