Icp CREAM.-An ice cream festival will

rTed TO making some repairs in the Luther
an Church edifce. rar as
A Or1eK TRIp.-The Harrisburg 7sle-
,,oph saws, that on Thursday, May 9th, six
mon run raf. from Port Treverton to
Highspire in seven hours-undoubtedly the
fastest time made by any raftsmen.
Oy1oss FOR PoULTRY-It is said that
the feeding of onions to poultry is a preven-
five Of disease. The onions should be Civ
en- two or three times week, chopped up
with little corn meal. The suggestion is
worth trial, at least.
PAINTS, Erc.-Persons desirous of pur-
chasing paints, brushes, varnishes, etc, will
find it to their advantage to buy at Harts
wick & Irwin who are just opening large
assortment in that line, at their Drug Store

MERCANTILE CHANGE. reference to
our advertising columns it will be seen that
the firm of Showers & Graham was, by
mutual consent, dissolved on the 10th of
May The books are in the hands of Mr.
Graham for settlement, who will continue
the business as heretofore.
GooD. The Beletonte Patchndn says:
The Spring Greek Canal is not by any
means, dead stock on the hands of the own
ers, as dividend has been declared for July
next-it being the intention of the board of
directors to have the to'o path moved and
the hay divided among the stock holders. -
Slightly ''sarkastik, that.
TIPs.-The n. Y Post says: We are
surprised to see children wearing shoes with
ragged holes at the toes-wasting their pa
rents money, and endangering their health,
when for trife more, shoes with Copper
or the new and beautiful silver Tips can be
had which never wear out at the toes, thus
preventing these two serious evils.
4 SHAD SELL. Two weeks since the
Bellefonte Watchman stated that lone of
the boys employed in that office, had caught
TIVE large shad at the end of the Spring
Greek bridge, in that place. - The 'bait
took, and accordingly several gentlemen in
Harrisburg were as badly sold as the
shad were on being sold to Meek.

IMPROVEMENTS spirit of improve
ment is quite active about town, at present.
Several dwellings are just being finished.
Three others are rapidly approaching COM
pletion, whilst preparations are going for
ward for the erection Of number of others.
The work on the new Presbyterian church
Is also being pushed forward rapidly. All
this portends an unusual degree of prosper
ity for Clearfeld, in the future
THE WEATHER. On Tuesday of last
week snow, to the depth of about two inch
es, fell in parts of this county, and on Mon
day morning last we had some hail at this
place Surely, winter fingers in the lap of
spring. and is retardlng farming operations
greatly. In fact, so far, but little farm work
has been done. It is hoped, however, that
winter is at end, that spring is here. and
that we may be blessed with plentiful har-
vest IN due season.
MAN DRowNED.-It is with regret that
We announce the accidental drowning of
citizen of this county. 1t seems that on
Saturday, May lth, two RATS, which were
being run by John w. Haslet. as pilot, ac-
cidentaly went over Shamokin dam, and
were torn to pieces, and Cortes Bloom, of
IKE township, was drowned, Wash. Lin

rescued, receiving only number of severe
bruises. We have not learned whether the
