TERRIBLE AFFRAY IN pleasant VAL
LEY.-We learn from tho Hudson Star
and Times that last Friday night, about
IL o'clock, the dwelling house of Charles
Britton, in Pleasant Valley, was forcibly
entered BY a dozen or fifteen men. Mr..
Britton was seiz I'd. taken out doors. and
partly bound, and an attempt made to
tar and feather him. Mrs. Britton, with
another woman came to the rescue, and.
with clubs, drove the men away. They
then vent to the house of Mrs. Crane.
occupied by her and her daughter, and
broke in the doors, windows, and sides
of the house, generally. The inmates
escaped through the back door, and took
refuge at one of the neighbors. TIE
men were in disguise, but Britton is con-
fident that he knows some of them.
The occasion of this treatment, is, we
presume, on account of the real or sup
posed intimacy of Britton with Mrs
Crane. There is very likely more than
one side to the story, aud in time we
shall have both.

The Coming Year.


To those in this town and village who
may see fit to favor the JOURNAL with
their patronage for the coming year, l
would .ay that the price for the paper,
business cards, ETC., will be the sane as
heretofore, and the conditions of pay
ment the same. The business cards and
advertisements are nearly all paid for,
but a few-tOo many--are IN arrears
for the paper. Remember that the prin
ter must be paid, and these many small
items make large SUN to him. If the
times are hard. it is still harder for the
printer, hence the greater necessity for
individual effort.
They cannot afford to lose a single
subscriber, yet they are unwilling to urge
any one unreasonably to subscribe for,
or to continue the paper. They believe
that every subscriber will get his moneys
worth in the course of the year, aud
they hope that their subscribers believe
the same thing. Hence your continued
patronage IS solicited. and with it all ar
rearages, aud payment for the present
volume within the frat six months.

HELMBoLD's MEDIcINEs.-There are
none among all the proprietary medicines
that stand higher than those prepared
by H L. Hembold, 594 Broadway, N.
Y. They have been before the public
for number Of years, and for the dis.
eases for which they are intended as
specific they stand unrivaled. and rank
ms standard wherever known. At the
Cape of Good Hope. the Hottentots
have long used Buchu for a~yariety of
diseases; it was borrowed from those
rude practitioners by the English and
Dutch physicians, on whose recommen-
dalion it was employer in Europe. and
has now come into general uss. DR..
Helmbnld has scientifically combined the
curative properties of Buchu, and with
upwards of Unity thousand unsolicited
certificates and hundreds of thousands of
living witnesses of it, curative properties,
accumulated within eighteen years. has
not been in the habit of resorting to
their publication. He does not do this,
from The fact that bis remedies rank as
standard; they do not need to be prop
ped mp by certificates. The science of
medicine. like the Dnric column, stands
simple, pure and majestic. having fact
f"r its basis. induction for its pillar. and
truth alone for its capital. His drug and
chemical wareh, in the city of New
York, is not to be excelled, if equaled,
BY any in this country, and we would
advise our rea,lers when visiting that
city to give him call and Judge for
themselves.

EE The st. Paul Pioneer observes
that Mr.. P. V. WISE is still engaged in
writing about the "vltal principle" in
the Hudson Democrat. In his last ler.
ter we find the following valuable infor-
nation /:
"Man has no spinal elongation beyond
the body. but the bones of caudal ex
entity exist in an unieveIoped shape in
the os cocygis of the human subject. -
In horse aud most of the other quadru.
peds the fore part of the extremeties is
shrunk up in hoof. as the tail of hu-
man being is shrunk up in the bony
mass at the termination of the spinal
column"
No doubt of the truth of the above
statement. but readers generally will say
they "don't see it."

The LATEST Invention An elderly
gentleman has invented a one wheeled
veloc;pede, which is quite novelty. 1t
does awav with seats. pedals, brakes, and
all. There is crank attached to the
axle on each side of the wheel. You
sit between the spokes, and turn the
cranks with your hands. The rider goes
around with the wheel, turning somer
saut at each revolution. The sensation
is therefore peculiar, and the ride is much
more exacting than on the ordinary We
