RuiIding, on Market Street.
The WEATHER, ,&c-During the last three or
four days, we have had some rain, and the air
has become quite cool. If the cool weather
continues long, the corn which was planted
early, will rot in the ground. Persons had
better see to this, and be prepared to repiant'
in case it should become necessary. The oats
and other crops look we'll. The prospect for
an abundant harvest is good.
RECRUITS WANrEp.-Ten able bodied men,
1single men preferred who are willing TO serve
their country, are wanted Immediately to fill
,,p the ranks of the washington Cadets now
encamped at Harrisburg, under the command
az Capfain J. O. Lorraine. The company has
been accepted for the State service. Arrange
ments will be made here to send them down.
Apply Immediately to W. W. Belts, Clearfeld.
THE Misunderstanding to the allotment
of military companies made to the different
counties in this State, Clearfeld, Elk, and
Forrest are entitled to two companies. The
proportion for these counties, no doubt, will
seem small to many persons; but the appor-
tioument having been made on the basis of
population, we presume, it is the full quota to
which they are entitled. There are, probably,
five times that number of companies in these
counties, who are ready to serve their count
ry, when ever they are called upon.
To OUR FARMERs.-We were informed last
week that there are persons in some sections
of this county, who are careless in regard to
putting out Summer crops. This should not
be so. We believe it is the duty of every
man who has piece of ground to cultivate it.
As it is still early enough to plant corn and
potatoes, etc., We hope all will go to work
without delay, and plant and raise all they
can. Every bushcl will be wanted before
next summers crop can grow. Let no one
dissuadeyou therefrom. 1t is a duty you owe
TO yourself, your family, and your fellow men.
DR.. BoRr.-This scientific medical practi-
;iOner after highly successful trip to Frank
lin, Pa, returned to Clarion, where he remain
ed for short time, after which he filed his
appointment at Rimersburg, and will be in
Franklin again by the 18th of March, and be
Few men have rapidly won golden opinions
from the people as the Doctor and while few
were resdy TO cavl-and some to doubt-yet
he has added largely to his already high repu
tstion, by performing the most astonishing
cures in remarkable short space of time.
The number of those whom he has treated
successfully are increasing every day, and of

afraid to 60 before the world-and prove his
claims as first class physician. No matter
what men may say in regard to those who
have preceded him-his record of cures is far
beyond those that can be shown by any other
in the profession. He only asks of the afflict-
ed trial-and all who confde in him, will
find that he is fully equal to their case. He
will tell you at once whether he can perform
cure or do you any good-and explain fully,
clearly and satisfactorily the nature of your
disease. Give him call and you will be sat
isfied with his mode of treatment.-CLarion

Dr.. B. will be in Clearfield from June 18th,

THE WILD CAT DIsrRIcr.-Much has been
said and written of this district, says the Har-
risburg Telegraph. Eleven companies have
been accepted and are now in service, whilst
sixteen more companies have been offered and
are anxiously awaiting an acceptance. Some
of these sturdy sons had to walk from thirty
10 eighty miles through the woods to the Sus-
quehanna, and then came down on raft to
"Rattlesnake Station,'' on the Sudbury and
Erie railroad, and from thence here. This is
doing extremely we'll, when we consider that |
the district is but sparsely settled. The men
are hardy, generally intelligent, and above all,
good marksmen. The sign on their hats, a
''bucktail," denotes that they know how to |
traverse the wood after game. They are all
strongly attached to Col. Kane, brother of DR..
Z. K. Kane, who took great interest in their
welfare, and spent much time and labor in
getting them here. We understand that the
with clothing whilst they have been encamped |
at Camp Curtin. General John Patton, the |
member of Congress, has also taken an es-
pccial interest in them. He has done his ut
most to keep the companies from that district |
all together and formed into one regiment, and
We can assure the "Bucktails'' that they can |
find no warmer friend than Mr.. Patton, who |
VIII keep an eye on those who might otherwise |
feel disposed to treat them shabbily. We |
nope that those who are now quartered here |
"lil not be kept idle much longer. They de-
SIRE to see active service. Let them be graf
med, and We feel assured that they will leave
'heir mark with the enemy.
