THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA, MARCH q, 1860.
We direct attention to the advertisement OF
Robert Lloyd, Dealer in Flour, Bacon, efroce-
ries. &C., Philipsburg, Pa.
Those Of our subscribers who intend "mo-
yine'' this Spring, will please notify US oi 'he
change in their different residences, SO tha'
we NAV be enabled to forward their papers TO
the proper places.
Ix J,n.-On last Friday, man named
Thos Hamilton got on big spree, which re-
smiled in his getting put to Jail for "a hours
and fined S5 and costs. We hope this Will
have the effect of keeping him sober when he
comes to our town hereafter.
SPECIAL NorICE.-Wm. Feath, Esq, at New
Washington. is authorized to receive and re-
ccipt for monies due this office. We have
placed number of accounts in his hands for
collection. We trust those interested will at
tend to them as soon as possible. fc
The RIvER.-The water in the Susquehanna
at this place is much too low for numbering.
On Monday a drzzly rain fell, but, the atmo-
sphere growing cold during the succeeding
night, and considerable wind prevailing yes
terday, it had but little effect on the River.
CoURr.-This Is the week for the holding Of
the March Term of our Courts but as no Ju
rors were summoned, and the President Judge
was not to be present, the attendance has been
slim. Such business as can be transacted by
the Associate Judges, is being attended to.
We experienced a slight touch of an equi-
nOyial storm yesterday afternoon, in this re-
gon. The wind blew hard for short time,
and the air was filled with snow but it soon
passed over, without doing any damage. This
morning it is winterlike, the ground being fro
zen and white with snow
DIED.-We regret 10 leaan that Mr.. Green
wood Eaton who, whilst working on Amos log
job in Morristp., was severely injured on the
10th inst, and had his leg amputateI below
the knee. has since died. He was in a fair
way Of recovering, when erysipelas attacked
the injured limb, battling prompt aud skilful
attention, and causing death few DAYS since.
LOG JANs--Returns have been made this
week by constables that the navigation of
Clearfieid Greek is obstructed at the bridge
two miles east of town and above the Ring
gold mil! in Lawrence township, and above
Best's dam in Beccaria township, by log jams
At the latter place, the jam extends distance
OF from three to five miles. There was jam
i'll Ralston's dam, about a mile and half in
length, and there were small jams at other
points. In consequence of these distractions,
but few rats have been run out of the Creek,
and it Is doubtful whether those above these
jams will be got out at all this season.
ADoRN YOUR YARDS AND GARDENs.-As the
season for garden making and transplanting is
near at hand, we take occasion to impress up
on the minds of our readers. whether they own
4 patch of ground not more than forty feet
providing themselves with trees, shrubs and
plants. The value OF Il few fruit trees i'm
yard, and the beauty which they add is a con-
not to be overlooked Fruit trees
and berries, especially, aside from the pleasure
derived in their cultivation and the adornment
which they throw around the house, are often
the source of much profit. Strawberries, rasp-
berries. gooseberries and the like, produce
largely, and if not required for the consump-
lion of the household, always find ready mar
ket at high prices. A grape vine, properly
trained, will occupy but few feet of ground,
and yet produce Il fair quantity of fruit. So,
too. of blackberries, an excellent fruit, easily
cultivated and very prolific. OF this species,
the Lawton is the most famous, being large,
plump and hardy, and of a rich flavor, while
it yields immensely, single stalk often yield
ing nearly peck of fruit.

more Conference, for the present year, we find
