the privilege of erecting refreshment stands
on the fair grounds of the Clearfeld Agricul-
tural Society, win be sold out on Tuesday Of

RATrLEsNAKEs.-Our venerable friend SAM
ue Fulton, informs us that whilst surveying
up Moose Creek one day last week, he came
upon four large rattlesnakes and forty-two
young ones, ranging from to 9 inches in
length, which had been killed by some person,
and were lying in the road near Birchfeld's
shanty.
RoBBERY.-Last Friday night, the shoe store
of Isaac johnson, in this Borough, was broken
into and about S25 stolen from the money
till. Entrance was affected by getting on the
roof of an adjoining building and raising one
1ot the upper windows. From there the villain
passed down into the lower room, and forced
open the drawer in the counter. So far as is
known, 30 goods were taken.
ANOTHER PATENr.-We learn that patent
has issued to two of the citizens of our coun-
ty, John II. Reed and l.. j. Grams, for buck
wheat and grain cleaner. This will prove
valuable invention for millers and farmers, as
it can be SO regulated as to scour, hull or chop.
1t is simple in construction, requires but little
power to operate it, and does its work rapidly
and well.
ANOTHER CLUB.-We are pleased to learn
that our friends in Penn township have organ
lied a Lincoln and Curtin Club, with the fol-
lowing officers President, John Russell;
Vice Presidents, A. c. Moore, Reuben Wall,
James 7. Cook and Elisha Fnnton Recording
Secretary, 7. W. Moore Corresponding Sec
retary, j. G.. Russell. This club will work
actively in the good cause, and we have no
doubt that Penn township willdo her full share
towards eecting our whole ticket.
Woodward township met at Sanburn School
house on the evening of the 1st September,
for the purpose Of forming Lincoln, Hamlin,
Curtin and Patton Club. James Stott was
called to the chair, after which the club was
permanently organized by electing Jacob F.
Reed, President; James Stott and John Col
ter, Vice Presidents and James Lockert and
Syx

resolutions were adopted pledging hearty
support othe whole Republican ticket. Con-

count of herself at the October and Novem-
Der elections. Let the ball be kept rolling
