REAL HSTATG SOLID.

ELI TREAT, once again would inform eD his old customers who have SO liberaly patronized him during the past twelve years that he has sold the Store he now occupies and it will change tenants on the first of Octe- ber next. The next six months he will devote his time to selling off his entire Stock Of goods Let no one entertain doubt, as to the fact that his goods are to be sold out entire within the next six months. Every person is interested in this sale at this present time, particularly where goods in market rule so enormously high, especially when they are assured that almost nine tenths of his stock was purchased before the advance.
 .@ If anybody wishes to cut the Corners they now have an opportunity, as the Goods will be sold out entire. Every thing except Fixtures will be sold at private sale, if possible, and if any thing remains, the Auction hammer will close up tho balance.

TRAGEDY IN CLEARTIELD.-A shoot
ing affair occurred tew miles from
Clearfeld at an early hour on Sunday
morning October 30th last, which has
siucc terminated fatally to at least one
Of the parties injured. The facts are as
follows, as near as We could gather
them:
ga Mr.. Cyrus Butler and Mr.. Van
VIiet, both Of Brookville, Pa, and
Joseph Miller and his brother Wesley,
ofthis vicinity, repaired to the residence
of Joseph Lansberry, (who was drafted
in the autumn Of 1868, and again at the
late draft, but failed to report) for the
purpose of arresting him. They reach.
ed the residence of Lansberry about
daylight, but their approach was dis.
covered by the sister'in-law of Lans.
berry, when she bolted the door. The
arresting party forced the door, and as
Butler and Van Vliet were going up
stairs, Lansberry appeared at the head
of the stairs with his rife and fired, the
ball taking effect in the abdomen of
Butler, above and little to the left of
the navel. Butler still advanced, when
LaDsbery, clubbing his rife, struck him
a severe blow ovar the head, knocking
him down. Lansberry then, after
scutfle with Van Vlict, escaped from the
house, when four or FIVE shots were fir
ed at him by the Millers outside, infic-
ting slight wound in the arm.
Such are the facts as detailed before
the Jury of Inquest, held by Esquire
Shugart on Monday morning
This sad occurrence has created con-
siderable excitement throughout the dis.
trict and We are sorry to learn that Re.
publicans are trying to make political
capital out of it, by asserting that this
act of Lansberry's is the legitimate
fruits of the teachings Of the Democrat
10 leaders Of Ciearheld County. No
grosser pergersion of the truth could be
made. Lansberry aided by his vote to
place Mr.. Lincoln in the presidential
chair. And he was a constant reader
of the Raftsman Journal, aud
was not a reader of any democratic pa
per whatever. Up to the time of his
being drafted was a consistent Republi,
can and supporter Of the war. The
draft developed the fact that like good
many other Republicans he favored the
war and the policy upon which it is cou.
Quoted, but when asked to do some Of
the fighting, Nould rather be excused
Unfortunately for poor Lansberry, he
was poor and unable to pay his commu
tation, or like Of some of his chiyalric
Republican brothers, put in a substitute
and do his fighting by proxy.
