Such a building will not only be an ornament and credit to our town, but it will show that we have men hero who are abla aud have the enterprize to keep up with the progress of tho age, which exhibits itself bo strikingly in almost every other ssction ol this great country of ours. Highway Kobbert. On Tuesday of last Week, a colored man named Jones was robbed, In broad daylight, near Lumber City, in this county, of $27 in money and a promissory note of $102.

It seems that three men induced Jones to take a walk along tho River beach below the town, for the purpose of engaging in a game of cards. A short time after, he was found there in a senseless condition, caused, it is supposed, by either drugs or liquor,) and robbed ot his pocket book containing the money and notes. Ono of the men, named E. II. Baker, was subsequently ar rested, and on Thursday brought to this place and committed to jail.

Yesterday evening, the other two men who are charged with tl ofience, were also brought here and lodged in prison. Their names are Robt. 31. Reed and nr. Lyons-.

Baker alleges that he did not take part lo tho robbery, having left before it took "place. Highway robbery is bad enough under any circumstances, but for white men to rob a negro in the manner in which this one is said fo have been robbed, is a degree of meanness and degradation in crime which we were not prepared to hear of being attained in any civ ilizcit country. It is a satisfaction to know that the guilty parties are not natives of our We hope-that all who are guilty will be punished to the utmost extent of the law. 1eath or a Revolutionary Soldier. On Friday, March 23d, Joiin-Lcdwiq Snyder, died at his residence in Burnside township, 1his county, at the advanced age of one hundred thirteen years, seven months and eighteen Aaysf lie was born in Michaelstadt, near Manheim, Germany, on the 5th day of August, 1716.

He arrived in America in 1758, being 22 years of age at the time of his arrival, and, consequently, has resided in this country 101 years, 7 months and 18 days. He entered the American service in 1775, and continued in it throughout the wbolo war. He was along with Washington when he crossed tho Delaware on Christmas night 177G, and was in tho battle of Trenton, Dec. 2Gth. Day was just breaking when they drove in the outposts of the Hessians, through a violent snow-storm, ne took part in the battle of Brandywine, Sept.

11th, 1777, under Lafayette, and, having been transferred to Gen. Wayne's division, was in the flefti-tof "JIad Anthony," near Paoli, Sept. 20th, 1777.siIo was in the battle of German-town, Oct. 4th, and encamped with Washington at Valley Forge, Dec. 11th, of tho same year.

He considered that winter tho coldest he ever experienced. The soldiers suffered much fromscantiness of elothing, and, shooting squirrels, they flayed them and drew the kina over their feet for On the 28th of June, 1778, ho was in the battle of Mon-tnonth under Wayne, and along with him at the storming of Stony Point, where they ysed that thrilling watchword, "Remember Paoli, brave boys 1" He was with Lafayette at the surrender of Cornwallis at Ybrktown, October 29th, 1781, and in a number of other engagements of less importance than thoso mentioned. We are not aware at what period he came to this region, bat ho was among the first settlers of the south-western part of our county. Ho leaves a Urge progeny to tho fourth generation his descendants numbering near three hundred. II is wife died in 1858, gad 108 years.

Immediately preceding her death, they were tho oldest living couple in the United States. Sir. Snyder retained the igor of his constitution to a remarkable de-- gree, always enjoyed good health until of late he began to have weak spell, and was only bedfast from the Sabbath before he died. When he was upwards of 90 years of age, he walked to Clearfield town, a distance of 30 miles, and back again the samo day, which would make 6G miles, and did not feel any the worse of his walk. A number of persons living near his residence, can testify to the fact.

He never missed attending the polls at a Presidential or Governor's election since the organization of the Government, ne was an upright man and a good citizen never mur-mured about any thing had no enemies that was aware or, and died respected and hon-cred by all who knew him'. Accident. On the 2Gil Mr. Robert Whiteside had one of hss thighs fractured and was otherwise injured by a saw log rolling ovr him, whilst he was engaged piling up logs on Clearfield creek, about two miles this side of Gled Hope, in this county.

A few nights ago, the store of Geddes, Marsh in Bell township, was burglariously entered and robbed of several articles.

A young man, named John Montgomery, charged with: the ofience, was arrested on Monday by constable Snyder of that township, and brought as far as Curwensville, where ho managed to make his escape from the officer, and has not been heard of since. Death" of John R. Morrow. By a letter from Knoxvillo, Rock Island county, Illinois, directed to his brother, II. Hays Morrow, of the Clearfield House, we learn that John R.

Morrow, formerly a resident of our town, was killed at Knoxville, on the 21st of March, by the premature discharge of a cannon, which he was assisting to fira on the occasion of the death of Gov. Bissel. It seems the swabbers had not been sufficiently careful injcleaning all the fire out of the gun, and an explosion en sued when the load was in but a short distance The ramrod was split into pieces, ono of which penetrated tho breast of Mr. Morrow, cansing his death in a few moments. He was buried on the 22d, with the honors of war.

He leaves a wife and three small children. Infanticide. Last Friday moruing the body of a white male infant, which had seemingly come to its time, was found in the Susquehanna river at this place. The coroner elect not having lifted his commission, Esquiie Frank was called upon to act in tho case. Accor dingly, ho summoned a jury, who being duly qualified, proceeded to inquire into the mat ter, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, who was the mother of the child, and how it came to be placed in the River.

Tho body was then taken up and removed to a room In the Town Hall, where a post mortem exami nation, was made by Drs. Wood, llartswick aDd mado use of the usual tests to ascertain whether it had been born alive. After this, a largo number of witnesses were brought before tho inquest, and from their testimony the jury were led to believe that Mrs. Sarah Brenneraan, a widow, was the mother, and a warrant for her arrest was issued, on Saturday When the officer went to serve the warrant, he found that the woman had disappeared, and, as was subsequently ascertained, had conceal ed herself in the woods near town. The next morning, near daylight, she was, however, discovered entering tho house of her mother on Second street, where she was at once apprehended, brought before a justice, and- committed to prison, after having confessed t'jat the child was hers.

On Monday, tho jury of inquest took some additional testimony, and then rendered a verdict to the effect that the child was born alive, that it had been deprived of life by violence on the part of its mother, and that Lctitia Dunlap, the mother of Mrs. Brenneraan, was accessory bef ore and after the fact. A warrant i3 out for the latter, who has not been arrested in consequence of her leaving town. As the whole affair will be judicially investigated, we refrain from making any comments on it- THE FSEE BANKING LAW. The following are the main provisions and safeguards of the bill to incorporate a system of Free Banking in this Commonwealth as it passed both branches of our Legislature "A certificate stating the particulars as to the bank to bo established must be drawn up, appioved by the Attorney General, published in tho newspapers, recorded in tho Courts.

OOSTETTER'S STOMACH HITTERS jLM. It is a fact that, at some period, every member of tho human family is subject to disease or disturbance of the bodily functions; but, wilh tho aid ot a good tonic and the exercise of plain com mon sense, taey may be able so to regulate tho sys tem as to secure permanent health, in order to ac complish this desired object, the true course to pursue is certainly that which will produce a natural state of things at the least hazard of vital strenirth and life. For this purpose. Dr. Hostetter has in troduced to this country a preparation bearing his name, which is not a new medicine, but ono that has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all who have used Ihe Bitters operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them to healthy and vigorous action, and thus, bv the simple process of strengthening nature, ena ble the system to triumph over disease.

Diarrhaja, dysentery or flux, so generally contracted by new settlers, and caused principally by the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg ulated by a brief use of this preparation.

Dyspep sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent, in all its various forms, than any other, and the cause of which may always be attributed to de rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured without fail by using IIOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For this disease every physician will recommend Bitters of some kind; then why not use an article known to be infallible All nations have their Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strong of the system in general; and among them all there is not to bo found a mere healthy people than the Germans, from whom this preparation em anated, based upon scientific experiments which have tended to prove the value of this erear, pre paration in the scale of medical science. evkh and Agce. Ihis trvini and Brovoltincr disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the body of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a short time, and rendering him physically and mentally useless, can be driven from the body by the use of IIOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S. Further, none of the above-stated diseases be contracted, even in exposed thij Bit- iurs are usca as per aireciions.

And to a mother while nursing theso Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mother's nourishment is inadequate to the demands of the child, consequently her strength must yield, and here it is where a good tonic, such as tetter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart temporary strength and vigor to the system. Ladies should by all means try this remedy for all cases of debility, and, before to doing, should ask their physician, who, if he is acquainted witli the virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend their use in all cases of weakness.
