His demise sudden, and unexpected as

anchoIy, from which he sometimes suffered The
shock to the family, as well to the comm unity,
alarmingly Sudden and unexpected Just
few hours before, he seemed to have his usual Wig.
of body and mind, and had been cOnversing
with his family and others, relative to future
business engagements Alas how soon the tide
of human events changes. Indeed, there seems
TO be "a diyiaity that shapes ends, rough hew
them will" In the death of Mr.. Burch-
field, the community has lost estimable citizen
and an honest mantle noblest work of Tod

and father, who loved them as only a father can
and who delighted to render them comfortable
and happy in every way he possibly could and

Destructive SToRM.-Sunday morning
''old Sol came down in his hottest; by
noon the sky became interspersed with dark
and frowning clowdS, and at half past three
o clock one OF the hardest storms we have
ever witnessed in this section was prevail
ing, accompanied by hail and heavy rain.
The storm was of very short duration prob
ably not more than ten minutes; but in that
time done great deal of damage. 1t de
molished one of the fine shade trees stand
ing in the Court House yard, blowed down
a number of fruit and shade trees, and tore
the limbs from many others, in all parts of
town. \ small ont kitchen, at house in
the upper end of the borough was moved
on Its foundation, and a portion of the
tram way at MeSsrs. Bigler's saw mill was
demolished by the falling of tree. Just
south of the borough line the storm was
still more destructive. Numbers of locust,
oak, and other trees were uprooted, fences
blown down, and the growing crops beaten
flat to the gr0und-the latter being a seri-
Gus loss to the owners thereof. Mr. A. p.
Moore new house, in West Cleartield, not
yet completed, was moved from It's iounda-
tion SO far as to cause it to lean over several
feet at the top. a mile and half north OF
this place portion of the roof was blown
of, Mr.. Mulen's barn. Some damage was
also done to the corn, oats, and other crops
along the course Of the storm.
Mr. Fl. Hoover, of Pike township, writes
Us concerning the storm in that section:
Yesterday Sunday evening, July 10th,
this section was visited by most destruc
tive hail storm. 1t passed over in south
eastern direction. It's path tabout two miles
"idel being marked by the destruction of
every green thing The hail stones were
as large as silver dollars and sbaped ike
Jumps OF melted glass. Corn was utterly
Iuined-stalks inches in diameter being
.c,H of as 1ciH q duH knife Oats was roll
ed fiat to the ground. We lost about fftv
bushels of apples, and even the leaves were
beaten off the trees. Gardens were swept
as with the "besom of destruction" and
the woods looked as though Cant. BRACES
Battery had been at work We had 80
window panes broken, one of our neighbors
SO, another 40, and some had not pane
LETT on the windward side of the house. So
violent was the storm, that swallows and
other small birds were knocked down and
Killed by the hail The above is but a sim
pie statement of what occurred on our own
farm, but learn that our neighbors have
Jared but little better
We are informed by correspondent that
some hail fell near Luthersburg, On Sunday,
as large as hulled walnuts Very little dam
age was done to vegetation, however, as the
haIi was not very plenty

ATMOSPHERIC CHANGE-A great change
was perceptible in the atmosphere on Tues

quantity of hail that fell on Sunday previous.

RISE IN THE RIVER One day last week
the river rose very suddenly, occasioned by
heavy rains on the head waters of the
streams, sufficiently high to float off many
logs lying along the beach since early in the
season of the year is rather an unusual oc
currence, and caused some surprise; but it
subsidized nearly as rapidly as it rose, aud, we
presume, the logs are now safely moored on
the rocks and sand banks along the river,
from here to Lock Haven, for the balance
of the summer season.

miles, when there is no reason in the world
why Clearfeld shouldn't have this trade

a carriage factory or two, where we believe
all kinds OF vehicles are made and constant

Now that the mud-h holes on our streets
have dried up, would it not be well for the
borough dads to see to having them re-
paired so that the next rain we have will
not cause pools of stagnant water to be
standing all over town for week or two
thereafter? The condition of Merket-st,
west Of the Court House, for the past ten
days he's been fearful; and enough to dis
grace any town. or stir any Board of Com
