TRoUrINa. season for catching the
''speckled beauties" has arrived. The dis
oiples of Isaac Walton should be on the
alert. There are still few streams not de-
stroyed by saw mills and saw-dust, where
they can be caught In abundance.
The RAILROAD. are informed that
the company has determined to lay the track
first, and then do the ballasting, which will
insure the completion of the road to this
place at an earlier date than was expected.
They commence next week to lay the iron
west from Philipsburg.
CoURr-A jury has been drawn, and a
number of causes have been put down for
trial at the Court to commence on the fourth
Monday in this month. As soon as the
Prothonotary, who is absent in Virginia, re-
turns and makes out the list we will publish
it for the information of parties interested.
Fatal NECESSITY Is NEVER KNOWN
UNTIL IT STRIKEs-People rarely appreci-
ate the necessity of an effective hair prepar-
stion such as "Barrett's Vegetable Hair
Restorative" until old age or disease rem
ders them bald Even then, however, Bar
rctt's will restore the hair in all its original
lustre aud abundance -Baltimore CONNER
tsal.
RETURNED. Most of our Lumbermen
have got back from their annual trip down
the river" We are glad to learn that, al
though prices were not as high as they have
been other seasons, they have all obtained a
fair compensation for their Investments and
their work Another flood is much needed
to take down the RATS that have been left
along the river.
GAS.-Some years ago project was star
ted for lighting our town with gas. but be-
iag premature it fell through. The time
has now arrived when something ought to
be done in regard to the matter. With the
advent of the .railroad, let US have gas.
There is no place where it can be manufac-
tured at less cost. We have everything re-
Qusite on the spot.
NEW CHURCH AT CURwENsvILLE.-The
Presbyterian Congregation at Curwensvllle
has commenced the erection of a new church.
Il is TO be of stone, in the. pure Gothic
style, and although not so pretentlous or
imposing as the one in this town, will be an
elegant and tasteful edi6ce. The work is
going on rapidly, and it will probably be
completed during the autumn.
The New BRnGE-We understand the
stock in the new bridge to be erected at the
foot of Second street, is being rapidly taken,
and it lis proposed to go on with the work
at once The sooner it is built the better.
We have only one objection to tit ought
to be built by Subscription and made free
bridge. 1t is too bad that nobody can get
into our town from any direction without
paying for the privilege.
IMPROVING The village Of Williams
grove, eight miles east of Clearfeld, on
the Railroad, bids fair to become an impor-
tant point. Quite number of new houses
have been erected, and others are in con-
temptation. They have already store, a
hotel. a drug store, blacksmith, shoe
maker, a doctor and several fast young men,
1t will make q gay and thriving town.
There is one article they have in abundance
building stone.
A ROAD NEEDED.-An effort has been
making for some time to have a road laid
out from the mouth of Lick Run, at lrwin's,
along the river to point near MIR. James
Fulton's in Lawrence tow nship, SO as to "a
void the Lick Run hill. This is a most i'm
portans matter to the citizens of our town.
