SIjc 2cffcvsonian, THURSDAY, ITOVEMBER 15, 13 GO. Postponed Indefinitely. The grand display of fireworks, which wa? so extensively advertised throughout the country, to come off on 31 on day and Tuesday night last, and an allusion to which is made on our first page did not come off. Reason postponed on account of the weather, or some other unavoidable circumstance. Messrs.

CST We were shown yesterday, by neighbor Sontheimor, of the firm of Soct heiuicr & Herrmann, a very neat and unique specimen of man's inventive ge nius, in shape of a Thief-Proof Pocket Dock. The book has the usual partitions for the holding of greenbacks, postage rtarnps &.c. &c, is made of all the various sizes, and has an ingenius contrivance, by means of which, by the simple turning of a spring, it is so securely fastened in in the coat, pants, or vest pocket, that the most adroit pick-pocket cannot remove it, without giving notice to it3 owner. Ev ery mcu should possess himself one of these safety pocket-books ; and our mer chants and our fancy goods dealers should keep a supply on hand. They are made .of the Lest material and cannot but rrovc a valuable acquisition to both business men in I women. Accidents. Ca Saturday 1:1st, Samuel Ilinklc, a brakesman on the coal train, whose pa rents reside ncarliartousville, in this coun ty, met with a severe accident which re pulled in the los3 of his left foot and an ile. The foot-board upon which he was standing gave way, and he fell in such 3 manner as to throw his foot under the wheel crushing It completely. The acci dent occurred near llenryville, and the unfortunate man was brought to the da pot at this place, where Dr. Jackson be ing summoned, amputated tho leg above the ankle joint. We aT2 glad to learn that he is doing "well. Mr. William Bowman, well known to many cf our citizens, met with a severe accident, at Analomink, on Thursday last. While working in the Tannery, at that place, he fell into one of the vats, break iugseveral of his rib3 and otherwise bruis ing himself. IIi3 hurts are severe, but wc are pleased to learn that he is rapidly recovering. Firo. On Monday last, our citizens were star tied from their usual quiet by the alarm cf fire. On inquiry it was discovered that the barn belonging to the Stillwell property, now owned wc believe by Mi chael Kansberry, aod occupied by Jesse ft. Smith, in East Stroudsburg, near the 1 m cepot, was oq lire, as soon a3 was possi- Lle, the distance being a mile from town our firemen with their apparatus were on the ground, and, though too late to save the barn, did efficient execution in the eaving of the dwellings and other build iogs in its immediate neighborhood. The barn, with its contents consisting of fcbout twenty-five tons of hay and a quan tity of oats belonging to Mr. Smith, were of course destroyed. Three hogs be iODging to xur. Kays, were burned to death, and a fourth one only escaped with a bad scorching. How tho Cre ori inated is not exactly known, but rumor has it that the fire was communicated from some matches which a parcel of children, who had a show in the barn, employed in the performance. The loss on barn and contents has been estimated at about $1,000. It is agreed on all hands that, but for the promptness and efficiency of ourFire Department, the de struction would have extended to the neighboringbuildings, and caused a much heavier loss. The PhccDix, on this occa sion had her first fair opportunity for the display of her prowes, and she proved a first-class machine, in every respect, and ft real bargain to her purchasers. Election Frauds. Tbe Monroe Democrat, of-two weeks aco, in reply to au assertion of ours, that cheating had possibly been done by both parties in the recent election, exhibited "reat indinatiou at our temerity in insin uating that the Democracy would do such a thing as cheat. In nearly a column, he paraded an array of assertions iu support of his party's honesty, unaccompanied by a single Gguro to show that they had any foundation in fact. Because of the total alisrnr nf thnso Txwnliar earmarks which establish the paternity of our neighbor' sciniilationa. we incised the article to have been borrowed from a partizan co temporary, and exercising the same priv ilec we append below, from a ItcpuMi can cotemporary, food for reflection, to which we invite cur neighbor's atteutiou The Democrat thinks, or rather pretends to think, that Ilicstcr Clymcr was defeat ed bv fraud. Wc think that if it had not been for the frauds perpetrated by the Democracy, Gen. Geary would no doubt have been elected by fifty thou sand majority, instead of by 17,178 as of ficially reported. The Democrat's thoughts upon the subject have nothing but asser tioa to support them. For the proof of cur thoughts, and to afford our neighbor an opportunity to exercise his skill with fig ures, wc present the following facts: The ratio of votes in Pennsylvania is one to every Stc inhabitants. Nearly ali the counties giving a majority for Gen Geary voted under this ratio, while al most every county giving a majority for Clymcr voted ever, and some of them fur over it. Lancaster. Chester. Delaware, and Philadelphia, with a population of 7S7, 018, voted 10,303 votes less than a ratio of one in fire inhabitants; while the reb el sympathizing counties of Ducks, Mont gomery, Northampton, Lehigh, Derks, Schuylkill, Luzerne, Columbia, Northum berland, Clinton, Centre, Clearfield, Mif flin, Cumberland, and York, with a pop ulation cf 770,411, voted nearly 20,000 over the ratio named. Luzerne county alone gave 3,030 votes over, and co dcubt fraudulently carried her county ticket and her member 0' Congress in that district. Montgomery gave 1,528 over, and so elected her whole county ticket by fraud. Chester county gave 18-1 votes Ies3 than a ratio of one vote in five of population, while Montgomery gave 1,523 over. Such fact3 speak plainly for themselves, and we hope that they will be thoroughly investigated. Wc will again refer to these and other frauJs of the late election. The As:esorsh:p. Among the appointments announced in Tuesday's Dailies, we notice that of Daniel 11. Nehnan, editor of the Essicn Sentinel, to the .Assessor ship of this, the 11th, Reve nue Dittiict. Gen. Selfridge was removed, first to make room for Col. Clantz, who had so much of a reputation fcr loyalty as a year of service in the field, backed by several years of subsequent affinity with coppcrhead ism, gave him, and he declining, the remo val was continued thai "treason" might '-be made odious," Johnsonianly speaking, in the appointment of Neiman. Gen. Sc-Ifridge fought for the preservation of the Union from the commencement of the war to its close, and was appointed assessor, as a slight rec ognition of his services, to fill a vacancy oc casioned by the resignation of his predeces sor. Daniel IL Neiman early enlisted in the cause of the rebellion, and fought soval iently, through the columns of the Sentinel, for its success thit loyalty was outraged, and his.oIEce was mobbed for the bitterness of his denunciations of the "Coys in Slut;, among whom wa3 Gen. Sclfridge, who had marched forth to whip reason and patriotism into his rebellious fellow-democrat of the South. His colonelcy, in which he rejoices,' has this to recommend it nothing more. Gen. Selfridge was applauded, and his pro motion demanded, fur his bravery and tkill, exhibited o many a hard fought field, by the loyal men of all sections of the country, At the head of these stood, and 6lill stands, Lt. Gen. Sherman, under whom lie served. Daniel II. Neiman earned his distinction by pestling with traitors who attempted to de. strcy the life of the government, and was - - - applauded and promoted by those pimp3 of copperheadism who did all itr their power to embarrass the government during the war who rejoiced when the tide of jjattle made patriots mourn, and mourned only when vic tory for the Union cause caused patriots to rej'dce. Chief among Iii3 backers stand Phil. Johnson, Dan. Vanauken, and the De mocracy hereabouts whose principles are revered only in proportion to their capacity to produce bread and butter. We had hoped that a redeeming trait miht ycr loom up amid the mass of foolhardiness and reckless ness which surrounds President Johnson, but this method of "making treason odious," by the ousting of tried Union men and the an pointrnent of traitors to office, banishes all hope, and furnishes ihe last straw necessary to Lreak the back of patience. But, thank God, we have a Senate, powerful enough to afford at least a partial remedy for the nil and it will be a' burning shame if hat Sen ate does not take the first opportunity afford ed it Jo wipe out the disgrace put upon the country, in the appointment of such a mm as Daniel II. Neiman, over such a patriot as Gen. James L. Selfridge the truculent cop perhead over the hero-patriot. The Republicans of Franklin county re commend G7V. Curtin for U. S. Senator. 2T Affairs among the bulbing De mocracy have become somewhat compli cated since our last issue. There are mo ments in which joy is depicted on the countenaces of the faithful, but this alter nates so rapidly with sadness that from the look of one moment we can form no conjecture as to which state is to meet ir gaze the nest. Neiman s appoint ment held them up to the laughing point for some lime-, but now they hardly know what to do about it. In regard to the newspaper world we can only say that the Uajle traps arrived safe on Saturday even tp.g lait, but yet lie, a mass of confusion, in the spot where they were housed for safe keer-ing. As rcgarus the 31 on roe Democrat, rumor has it that the Judge ha3 succoiubcd to a tremendous storm, and that Mr. Grccnawalt forthwith mounts the tri pod which the JuJge has vacated Humor further contends that the projec tors of the new paper, are diplomatising with the weak-kneed gentleman for the sale cf the material. So it joss along day after day 44 Hubble, bubble.

It apr cars that Mr. 1. F. Gould residing at Hickory Ilun, thi3 country started to go to lUes-liarre in a car riac with a pair of horses. While driv ing along the mountain at the place men tioncd, a man suddenly emerged from the woods, stopped the horses, and presented a pistol at Mr. Gould's breast telling him to alight, get out his pocket-book and lay it on the ground ; after doing so lie next asked for his gold watch. Ilav ing acceded to these demands, the hich wayman told him to get in his carriage at the same time starting the horses. Mr. G. had a revolver in his pocket, but had no opportunity to use it, but driving 00 a short distauce, he turned and fired two shots at the thief, just as he was in the act of picking up lm booty, but miss ed him. The robber then took to the wooks and made his escape. He is known as a most desperate character ; as he came Jrom the woods he had a handkerchie tied over the lower part of his face so as not to be known. He is a ycung man of about twenty-seven years of age, and had on light clothes. Amount of money ob tained was abuut 5100. Efforts havo been made to secure his arrest, but in all pro bability he ha.? made good his escape. Carbon Democrat. Mrs. Gov. Curtin of Peuusylvania'was recently presented with a magnificent sil ver fruit stand by her friends in Harris burg. The cost of the Ealvcr was over five hundred dollars, anl it is said to be but tbe first of a series of presents that will be made to her before she leaves the Executive mansion, which, with her hus band, she has occupied for six Years. Mrs. Curtiu, during the war, more than once converted the mansion into a ward, where sick soldiers were nursed and car ed for of diligently as in a regular hospi tal. Her fame iu deeds of mercy and benevolence rivals that of her husband as a statesman. Dr. Wilder, late Surgeon of Fifty-fifth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers has been giving a lecture at Doston on a species of silk spider discovered by him on Folly Island, Charleston Harbor, 18G3.

We started for home about the 10th of August laat About five days after we started, and when we were within three miles of our home my husand saw somebody ou the hill whom he supposed to be one of his neigh bors. I looked in the direction where he pointed, and said : "Why, there arc three or four of them. lie then said "They are Indians ! Wc are gone !' Margaret, get my six shooter, quick 1" Margaret went to get it, but before she could give it to him the Indians came up onus, and shot him iu the breast, lie fell over in the wagon, pulled the arrow from his breast, rose and fired at them. He was then shot through the head bv aa arrow. He pulled the arrow from his head, jumped out of the wagon,' when he fell to the ground. Tho Indiana then scalped him and cut his left jaw. They then pulled me oui of the wagon by the hair of the head, and robbed the wagou 0 everything. They took Josephine, Maggie and Ida and tied them ou ponies. They put Mar garet on one cf the ponies and started oh on a gallop. We traveled fourteen days (night and day) before we stopped About eleven days after we were taken, my bady (Lauri) died. They took her from me and threw her in a ravine. We traveled on until we got to the camp where all the Indians were. I stayed in the c&rap about four days with my child ren, when they moved me off about six miles further to another camp, where I stayed until they brought me hre. I had to pack wood and water ; wheu I delaycl they would whip and beat me, and even the squaws wouid knock me down. I was very sick while with the Indians, notwith standing they would beat me. It was a terrible life. They gnve me nothing to eat but broiled meat. My husband's three brothers arc still livin 1 ,-r in I f r a J The Commissioners of the t; i n 1 n 2 tuna ot 1 cnnsylvann, in beodience to the requirements nf law, report and cer tify, that the debt of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, redeemed and held by them from the 4th day of September, 18G5, to the Sd day of September, 1SGG, amounts to the sum of one million one hundred and fifty-eight thousand and niue dollars and sixty-two cents, male up as follows, viz : Five per cent, loan of the State, $345,350 07 Coupon Loan, olL',000 00 Domestic Creditors, 20 Go Relief Notes Cancelled, G;2(J0 00 $1,158,000 G2 The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of this State havo also advertiscJ for the purchase of $2,000,000 more of our o and 0 ror cent, houds, which they are prepared to pay off, and thus add two millions to the amount of the reduction of our State debt this year. Considerin the fact that this has been done at the close of four years of most exhausting and expensive war, the administration of Gov. Lurtm presents the frratifyin re cord of a steady diminution of tbe Stats debt, and his Ia?t term will exhibit the payment of a crater amount of the debt than by any other Governor the State han ever had. The tax payers of the Commonwealth arc indebted to Gov. -Curtin and the Ke- publican party for the relief from all taxa tion on real estate. It would bo well for voters to remember this fact.
