could be more appropriate, next to the
due Of observance Of Christmas. and the
celebration Of the anniversary of our ma.

ioyment and innocent festivity, il natur-
Ally expands into fraternal love and char

may be under the ordinary circumstances
of society and business. Then let us have
May parties and pic-nics, and pienty of
them.
CnLD DRowNED.-A child of DR.. Fray
of Trout Run, this county, was drowned
on last Monday, in the dam at that place
Il was playing near its mother, who had
inst taken it away. from the brink of the
dam and cautioned it against going there
again, and had only disappeared from her
sight minute or two when she missed il,
and not seeing it anywhere ran to the
house TO look for ii. but not finding il
there, search was made in the water and
its lfeless body was found among the saw
logs in the dam. 1t was about three years
DID, and the only child of its parents, who
will deeply fell their bereay yement.
The LATEST FOREIGN NEws.-Among our
new advertisements will be found highly
important telegraphic dispatch from Ire,
land, addressed to the public generally,
but more particularly to those inhabitants
of this place and vicinity who may be
anxious to improve their understanding.
In short, Friend Short, of the short"
Shoe Shop, invites his old friends and the
public, 10 make him short call when
they require anything in his line, and he
will accommodate thom in short orler, Mt
extremely low prices and short" credits.
BILIOUS PUS.-The bilious editor of
the Philadelphia Press, yclcpt Cheyalier
Forney, makes desperate attempt TO
perpetrate pun upon the name of Mr..
Kerr, of Pittsburgh, the gentleman to
whom the gag law was applied in the Bo.
gus Convention at Harrisburg, on the
10Th ult 10y calling him cur. This at
tempt at punning is as deperate as the
political fortunes of its author; but if q
pun is best when it is worst, then the
"Chevalier" has undoubtedly immortali-
zed himself
lloRss AND BuGcr STOLEN The horse
thieves must be quite active in Centre
county, at present. We learn that Mr..
Jos. D. Harris, of Belefonte, had fine
horse, buggy, and harness stolen on last
Sunday night and Mr.. James GortIen,
of Walker township, had very valuable
horse taken the night previous. Mr.
Harris, tracked his horse and buggy to
Stormstown, but could find no trace of it
further.
LITERARY DEpoT.-our cnterprizing towns
man, G. W. Rheem, has we observe, added
Literary Depot to his Drug Establish
ment on Market street, comprising all the
late popular publications. such as pcriodi-
Gals, newspapers, &c. This will afford our
citizens a fine opportunity of procuring
the newest and choicest literature of the
day at publishers retail prices.
EscArED.-0wcn McGovern, who in COM
pany with man named Hays, was put in
prison q week or two since, on n charge
of robbing the store of Mr.. Rider, at Kar-
thaus, made his escape On Tuesday night
by quarrying hole through the Jail wall.
His companion would doubtless have fol-
lowed, bat the hole was too snail TO adj
nit him.
NoTARY PUBLIc.-We learn that Gov.
Packer, has appointed our young friend,
q L. Barrett, Notary Public for this place.
As this is the first official of that nature
that Cleartield has ever had, it may be re.
garded as step in the march of prog
ress Mr. Barrett will doubtless make an
excellent officer,
MiINEEY.-We call the attention OF
The citizens of Curwensv ille, and vicinity,
to the advertisement of Miss Morehead,
who has opened Millinery establishment
IN that place, whore she is prepared to do
all work IN her line in the best manner
and according to latest modes,
GENIAL SPRISe has surely come at last.

calm, delightful weather, such as would
