THE RIvER.-On Sunday night, and dur
ing Monday. we had copious rains in this
region. and, III consequence, the river rose
TO good rafting stage at this place. But in

that the 'Chief of Clearfield Grand Sec

s!ble conflict which the Chief so re-
Gently threatened to renew again.

THREAT NED REvKNGk. state upon
the best authority, that acertain narrow
minded individual, of the Copperhead persua-

editor of the Journal, and another person
whom he named, would be the first uictin,s of
