AN ENRoLLINg oyPIeER saor.

1t is with deep regret that We record the
fact, that our old friend David j. Cathcart,
the enrolling officer of Knox township. in this
county, was shot on Friday morning, June
18th, whilst in the discharge of the duties OF
his appointment. 1t seems that as he was
riding along The road, and having just passed
ticket OF pines, some concealed and coward
~ wretch shot him, the ball TAX ing effect
in the side of the heel and lodging in the
front part of the foot, where it still remains.
This shot was quickly 10 llowed by another,
which struck the horse on the front leg, cut
ting it severely. The horse, on being shot,
remained lying in the road until several per-
sons came along, who caught the horse and
assisted Mr.. G. in reaching his home. The
wound inflicted on Mr.. Cathcart is severe
one, and, we are told, that the old man is in
rather critical condition, and that he may
lose his foot, If not his life.
This is lamenta6Ie state of affairs, indeed
and we had no idea that there were in
Clearfield county who could so far forget their
manhood as to way-lay poor, old and Grip
pied man and shoot him, simply because be
was making an enrolment under the laws and
Government of The United States But, when
man reflects for moment and reviews the
teachings of the leaders of a certain political
clique, he need not be surprised that such
lawiess deeds are perpetrated. These leaders
have for some time past been proclaiming
that the present National Administration was
nothing but a'smilitary despotism.'' and .sthat
r.,
IS OF government upon Us should be resisted By
:. arms unto de1th'' and that the Conscrip-
tion act was unconstitutional. Again, we see
the'ADvICE given, that in case some mousing
g Pro. Marshal should come about their prem
6 ises hunting for gum they would sstel
g him politely to go Off and that ii he lid
''.not, the qua oOaid'! In view of such ad-
vice, and such declarations is IL any wonder
that iIliteryte men viii violate law and COM
nit crimei Ii is worthy of note, and all well
disposed citizens shopld remember the fact
that, in law, those who advise and encourage
wrong doing. are equally guilty with those
who commit the wrong.
In making these remarks, we disclaim all
intention of personalities. We have made
them for single purpose,-the preventing of
the violation of the laws of our Government;
aud we hope, that those, who have been mis-
led by the sophistry of men who should know
better than to trife with the passions and pre-
judices of their fellow men, will give this SUBJ
ject due consideration: they may be in
volved in difficulties that they may regret in
after life, and which may become reproach
and stigma to their chi dren for gene rations
yet to come.

Our attention was called, few days since,
to new process for drying lumber by Bulk
lev's Patent, recently introduced into this
place by J. l.. Cutie agent for north western
lioylvania; and from ocular demonstration.
and the opinions of our best mechanics, we
learn that the lumber is reduced in weight
from 20 to 35 per cent, and in few days after
il is drawn from the kilp, is better adapted for
good work than by any other process known.
Individual, township, and County rights
within the reach OF every business man, and
the saving in time, fuel, and the difference in
expenses of cold kim are so great, that we
assure our readers it is waste of time and
money, to dry by any other system. From so
to sl00 will erect kiln capable OF drying TO-
900 feet, and the time required to perfectly

certificate of our leading builders and carpen-
teTs that it is perfectly reliable and is an in
valuable addition 10 science. The lumber is
etrctnally dried, finishes IN superior style, is
stronger, and tie turpentine is extracted from
the knots in pine so that they do not require
