little; then dip the bread IN wine, and use it
in as large pieces as is convenient to stuff the
bird The delicious flavor which the wine
gives is very penetrating, and it gives the fowl
a rich, gamcy character, which is very pleasant.
The WEATHER, since our last paper, has
been sadly ont of joint-one day raining, an
other freezing, third sunshine, and fourth
compounding all these phazes, so that we have
concluded that the weather clerk has been on
Il I.sspree'' and given the elements, over which
he presides, permission TO have ga high Old
time'' to themselves. The rain that fell yes
trrtlay has had the effect Of taking off most OF
the small quantity OF snow which was on the
ground. 1t is foggy and drizz!y to-day.
DREss YouxG CnILDRES WARM.-Ths is one
of the most dangerous seasons for children.
Colds and coughs now easily fastened upon
Them, often resulting in consumption and pre-
mature death. Therefore, dress them warm.
Let your boys pantaloons reach the instep.
Don't dress them in trowsers, reaching to- the
knee or middle of the leg, and leaving their
limbs exposed to the chilling air. Do not sac
rifce your children's health to the gratifica-
ton OF a circus-rider's tastc but dress them
with the paramount view of comfort and safety.
CnAPpED HANDs.-During the winter season,
persons are frequently troubled with chaPped
hands. To all who are afflicted in this way,
we would recommend the following remedy
ssTake three drlchms of gum camphor, three
drachms of white beeswaX, three drachms of
spermaceti, two ooaccs OF olive oil. Put them
together in cup on the stove, where they VIII
melt slowly, and form white ointment in
few minutes. If the hands be affected, anoint
them on going to bed, and put pair of
gloves. A day or two will suffice to heal them.
ACCIpESTs-We learn that Mr. John Nc
Laughlin, the young man vino had his arm bro
ken last fall by being thrown frcm bis wagon
while the horses were running away, has had
his arm broken over again recently by a fall.
This IS exceedingly unfortunate, as it Will
doubtless be much more difficult to treat now
Than the first time that it was broken.
y man named Snyder, employed on log
Job on Clearlield Greek, had his hand so badly
crushed between two saw logs on last Friday,
that the three first fingers had TO be amputa-

WaEx EASTER CoMEs-It will be interest
ing to learn that Easter, which will be on the
9th of April this year, last fell on that day in
1871, and will not fall on the same date again
Till 20lI. Since the introduction OF the Greg
arian almanac this has only been the case in
the years 1893, 1907, and 1871. The period
in which Easter can fall, reaches from the ODD
-,f, xfA a A,,-i
,latest datc,) leaving thirty five different day
i;,r the celebration of this festival. In thi:
century Easier will fall only once (lSS6) oil
1he latest day, the 25th of April.
MORTALITY AMONG HoRsEs.-On last Thurs
day night, q fine horse belonging to Mr.
krebs of Centre county, who had come to ou
town with a load of corn, died of .;bots." On
Monday night of this week, mare belongin;
20 Mr.. VIM. Brown, of Lawrence township
also died. aud we hear of several other horse
being sick. \ simple and effective rcmed,
fer "bots'' is to take about pint of bloot
from the horses neck and force him to drinl
it all at once. The bots Immediately glu
themselves with the blood which also operate
as a purgatiye and passes them from the stom
ach. Bleeding in the mouth won't answer tn
purpose, as it does not put large enoug
quantity of blood in the stomach at one time
Ora VALENrINE.-When we opened the fol
lowing note and saw V spot in it. our eye
sparkled with delight; but alas our JOY wa
short lived, for attempting to pass it, W
learned that This BIZ was on s.bust.'
To s. B. Row, Esq:
In looking DER your crowded columns,
saw note in words quite fine;
IT smoke of debts-ot Due Bills-volumcs,
And gave us fits on Valentines.
To pay our debts, it is duty,
Though hard to do sometimes;
But make the change, and keep the rest
To substitute Valentine.
Just mark my years subscription paid
And don't forget TO send the Journal
Or else Ell do as have said,
And send old Row to lands s'infernai.'
Though this bank note may not be good,
'Tis all the kind re use, Sir;
lis just as good as promised wood,
OF which you get ssnary'' splinf.r.
