SEVERELY INJURED.-We learn that on
pr;aay, March 18th, Mr.. Joseph Shook. in.
.eusle at Newburg. broke one of his ankle
joints in such manner, as likely to render
Linn cripple for life.
Suspended. to the sudden change
in the atmosphere, the streams have fallen
very much, and rafting was pretty generally
suspended. A few days of warm weather
will, however, suffice to again raise the
streams, when the rafting business will be
resumed with renewed vigor.

Too HlGH.-One great obstacle to the
prosperity of our town is the high price of
sal estate Lots. for building purposes. are
entirely beyond the reach of men of moder-
ate means. IF our wealthy men want to see
the town enlarge and improve, one of the
first steps is to reduce the price of building
lots.
CoURT.-Court is now IN session, but ow-
ing to the absence of parties and witnesses,
on the river, very few people are in attend
snce, and very little business is ready for
trial. Up to the time of our going to press
no case had been tried before jury The
Court was engaged hearing arguments, mo-
Gons, etc ,
BAD ARRANGEMENTS March is the wrong
month for. Court in Clear6eld county
The people are nearly always engaged on
the river, and it is impossible to get jurors,
parties and witnesses tG attend. The time
ought to be changed, and instead of Janua-
~ and March, court should be held in De
esuber and February
----------
An IMPOSTOR. Several of our exchanges
caution the public against man who is
travelling through the Juniata valley soli-
citing money on the representation that he is
minister Of the Gospel He has bogus
recommendations from well-known clergy
men in this State The people should be on
the lookout fer this impostor
WANTED.-In view of the great demand
for dwellings in our town, and the prospect
Of its enlargement, we need good sBuild-
ing association, by which men of moderate
means can be afforded assistance and en-
c1urasement to erect homes for themselves
viii not our capitalists take hold Of the
matter, and thus promote the common in
tsrest and prosperity of the town.
OuR RAILROAD. Messrs. Collins,
the contractors who are to grade the road
netween this and Phillipsb ,rg, are actively
a. work. They are busily engaged erecting
-hanties and making the other necessary
preliminary arrangements, with view to
commence digging the first of April. 1t
will not be many months until rhe snort of
the iron horse will be heard in Clearfield.
ANOTHER Cold SNAP.-Contrary to gen
eral expectation. another cold snap visited
this region during the past week. On
Thursday morning last, three fourths of an
inch of ice had formed on standing water,
and on Saturday and Sunday about five
Inches of snow fell But the air having
again moderated. the snow is rapidly disap-
pearlng, and the present indications favor
pleasant weather !
ANOTHER RAILxoAD ENTERPRISE We
'earn that our friends in the upper part of
Inc county, are making an effort to have
'ne Indiana branch of the Penn'a Railroad
extended to the Cherry tree, and from thence,
Oy Individual enterprise to Patchinville, and
Ultimately to Burnside. This would be
most valuable Improvement TO our county,
and we sincerely wish our enterprising
,fiends, up the river, success in their un-
da,,.l.
