fortunately the warm days of July and August,

all the crops to maturity, so that the icy en-
brace of jack frost was harmless.
NOVEMBER, follows with its mists and chill
ing winds; sure predecessor of winter. The
mercury on the morning OF the nineteenth
was at 70, being the coldest and the thir-
teenth at noon sixty one, being the greatest
heat. On seven days it rose to so degrees or
upwards: Light ram on ten days, and light
snow on six days. Rather drizzly month
without much rain or snow.

month was pleasant weather for out doors labor.

NEW PosT OFFICES IN CLEARFIELD COUNTY
Through the exertions of our efficient Mem Der
of Congress, Gen. Patton, our friends at New
burg, in this county, have had a new post Of
fee established in that village. The Office is
named Hurd, in honor of Elias Hurd, ESQ, a
worthy and respected citizen of the neighbor-
hood. There being an office already in the
State called Newburg, second, under the
regulations OF the Department, could not be so
designated. Gilbert Tozer, Jr., is the Post
Master.
Another new post Office has also been estab-
lished at the 'sBlue Ball Hotel,'' called West
Decatur, and Miss Sophia Radebaugh appoint
ed Post Mistress. We have no doubt of the
young lady making good officer.

their progress and requirements to decided
advantage. After subjectIng them TO severe

upon the part of the pupils cot both seXes),
tact for public speaking, which ssYoung Ameri-

four years of age, brought down the house in
uprorious applause again and again.

DEDICATION. THE Methodist Episcopal
Church, recently erected in Gurwensvlle, was
dedicated to Service of Almighty God, on
Sabbath last. We learn that large con-
course of people were present. A collection
was taken up to pay off the remaining debt on
the church. and the sum OF Sli50.00 was con-
tributed-which is sufficient to liquidate all
claims against it. A very liberal contribu-
tion indeed. The church cost SS600.00.

HOW NOT TO DO 1T.

On the 18th Of January CoDhscation bill
was offered in the U. S. Senate by Mr.. Trum-
bull, aud referred to the Judiciary Committee.
whence it was recently reported, aud has
been. this week under debate. lts terms are
-mpe, direct, and to tue purpose, innctiDg
upon traitors found in arm. against the Gov
ernment, or giving aid Dnd comfort to the re-
beion, the penalty Of q loss of property. Oae
scction--because, W suppose. property Ia
slaves IL peculiar 10 the Rebel States, and re-
auires. therefore, 70 be- dealt With as an OK.
cepiion-oDe section referred particularly to
the slaves of Rebels, considering them III prop
er'y for the purpose OF coniscaton, but vest
ing the right therein, not, IA IN the ease OF
other property, IN the United states but in
tho natural and proper owner OF the negroes.
namely, themselves. II lis our sincere belief
that wers this just measure oo~ law, the
acknowledged difficulties OF tho stat in which
the Rebels now lind Themselves would be very
seriously increased, and detection aud treach-
cry would be every where showing Themselves
ia the Rebel cause, and especially among that
large class Of conservative creole shareholders
OF Inc Lower Mississippi Valley.
But for this bill Of Dir. TrnmbIll's another
has been offered, of quite dileren, character,
by Mr. Garrett Davis of Virginia In tbs no
distinction is made between property ia slaves
aud other property. And for this there may
be- two reasons. Mr. Davis, as a SOutherIer,
naturally desires to prevent the confiscation
ard emancipation OF slaves at all. If it is in
ssied that slaves ara not property in the
ordinary seGsA Of the term. then the act does
not touch them. But If it ID maintained that
because BY southern law they arc held as
property, and therefore are cOuiiscated IN com
mon with other property oi Rebels. then two
points are gained by the shareholders: they
have a precedent IN the act u tho United
States. whereby property IN man |" clearly
rccog nizei and where. even though c"nis-
cated ia SUBJECTS will not be emaDcIpotcd, but
.ll continue 20 be property. and they have
