4 h,,,,ion or garden, much domestic
J,,.nre, as well as actual pccuniory profit
..,nds, aud too much attention cannot
nbc bestowed upon IT, We make no
..,on,ons to being a gardner either in
,..ory or practice, but we are not entirely
,norant of some OF the general principles
,6,t apply to the mode aud manner of
n,kine garden. Perhaps the first rule to
!, observed, Is to commence preparing
,bo ground for seeds in time, and not de-
/, until the season is 80 far advanced that
,bo autumn rosts nip the vegetables in
,hoir tardy greenness, before they have
.ortributcd single root or ker mel to-
ards rewarding the toll and care bestow-
Junon their culture. Whatever is worth
doiur at all, is not only worth doing well,
hot Il is worth doing at the right time,
and rather than miss, little before the
lime. What if few early sprouts are nip
ned BY the lingering cold weather? They
can easily be replaced again. This is as
far As We shall venture at this time. Here
after we may give another general rule or
two.
A BANK rs CLEMFlED-By reference
10 our advertising columns it will be seen
that bank of discount and deposit has
bcen established in this place. under the
0pspices of two well known citizens of our
town. and two gentlemen from Meadville.
An establishment of this kind ifproperly
managed, ought to be of great utility to
the community. That it vii be conduct
cd in such manner we have the best ass
surance from the names of the gentlemen
connected herewith. Therefore if bank
accommodations are wanted, and can be
obtained at home, this is where they
should be sought for
BRIDGE ACROSS CLEARrIELD CREEK.-A
bill passed the Legislature during the
present session, which has been approved
by the Governor, Incorporating the AL
cxander's Ford Bridge Company incor-
pOrated for the purpose of constructing a
covered bridge across the above named
creek at or near the residence of VIM. b.
Alexander sen. This is an improvement
that has been much needed in that neigh
borhood, and the community will find it
great convenience The company will
proceed to let the contract for building
in few weeks.
IToHsE KILILHD.-An accident of very
serious character occurred to Il well known
citizen of Boggs tip. one day last week.
Mr.. Thomas Ralston was hauling timber
with pair of valuable horses, when as he
waspassing along, tree was blown across
the road which fell upon his horses xii,
ling one valued at $500, and,gr atty inju-
ring the other one. The tree fell immedi.
ately upon the horses crushing harness and
everything in its way. This is heavy loss
to Mr. II. as the horse that survived is We
ry much injured.
SrRrcK BY LIGuTNISG.-The house OF
Mr.. Joseph Ioon, of this Borough, was
struck by lightning on last Monday
evening. The electric fluid entered the
Hue, shattering it from top to bottom,
breaking some of the brick to fragments,
and hurting others distance of thirty to
forty feet, descended the stoye-pipe into
the stove, scattering the ashes over the
apartment, whence it disappeared without
doing further damage. Mrs. Coon and a
child who were in the second story, were
knocked down and considerably stunned,
but sustained no permanent injury. The
escape of the inmates from more serious
injury, is almost miraculous.
HorrIBIE AFFMr.-Wo have heard a
story, for the truth of which however, we
cannot vouch but which if true, is n hor.
rible occurrence. 1t is, that child of a
Mr.. Wilson on Chest creek, was killed a
few days since, by savage dog belonging
to the childs father. 1t is possibleit may
prove to be ncorrect-at least we hope so
The RIVER has raised considerably since
the recent rains, and at this point is at a
good rafting food Neither Clearfelt
Creek nor Chest Creek, however, have
raised any. 1t is uncertain whether raft
can get through, although number hay,
started. .#...
