TIXI2 SEW YORK OBSERVER Enters upon its Fiftieth Year on the 1st of January next Its career has been one of the most successful in the history of Amer ican journalism. Every department is con ducted with ability. Its Foreign Correspon dence is unrivalled, and its independence in commenting upon political corruptions is in the highest degree praiseworthy. We notice that it appears in a "JYeic Pre," and also announces that the success of its Year-Book for 1S71 will result in Vol ume No. 2 for 1S72, which will be still more complete in its statistical and other tables of informotion, and in its general arrangement Such enterprise deserves success, and we advise our readers to send for a specimen copy of the paper. New Subscribers will receive the paper free until January 1st SaT George O. Evans, the defaulting State agent for collection of our war claims against the General Government, was dis charged on the criminal charge brought against him, of embezzlement of $291,000 of the funds of the Commonwealth. The decid ing judge, Hon. John J. Pearson, held that he was not an officer of the State, and hence could not be held to account for any embcz ilemeut in a criminal court He went so far a to assert that "in all that has been laid before us we have not preceived the slightes evidence of fraud, on the one side or the Other: but it is an ordinary case which should have been settled by the law in the usual way, under the act of 1S11, on notice to the defendant, allowing him what woul be right by way of compensation, and strik ing the balance, which, if not appealed from in sixty days, would have been conclusive and if appealed from, the State would have had security for its money. The balance thus found due and unappealed from would have been as fixed and determinate as the judgment of a court and payment could have been enforced by the process of the law, both civil and criminal." The court held the prisoner on a capias to answer fur the funds retained by him, in bail to the amount o $100,000. Dr. David Stanton. This gentleman, who was recently elected Auditor-General of Pennsylvania died suddenly at his residence, New Brighton, early Sunday morn'ms. He had been coffering with a neuralgic com plaint for several days. Ceing a physi cian by education, and not regarding his ailment as anything serious, though it was quite painful, he injected a email quantity of the solution of sulphate of mor phia.ioto one of his arms for the purpose of allaying the pain. He soon sank in to a tranquil 6leep but he never awoke It was his long, last sleep. Several of bis medical brethren were called to his beside. They sought to cause a reaction, but their labors were in vain. It is thei opinion that the deceased punctured a blood vessel while introducing the narco tic, and which, owing to the peculiar state of his system, caused death to ensue. The deceased was a eon of the late Dr Benjamin Stanton, of Ohio, and a nep hew of the late Secretary Stanton, to whom he bore a striking resemblance. He was born in 1829, and after studying nedieine, and graduating at the Cleve laud Medical College and the University of .Pennsylvania, removed at the age of 21, to New Brighton, Beaver county where he commenced the practice of medi cine and has continued to reside. In August, 1861, he entered the array as surgeon of the first Pennsylvania Cav alry, and was connected with the Army of the Potomac until promoted to the post ol surgeon ot United States V olunteers, in November, 1802, from which date, un til he resigned, in December, 1865, he acted as superintendent of hospitals, and m assistant and acting medical director of the Northern Department, on the staffs of Generals Heintzeiman and Hooker. In 1861 he was breveted lieutenant-colonel, and in 1865 was made brevet col onel. He came of a Quaker family, and was always an Abolitionist, advocating the cause of the slave, when to do so was to brave general opinion. Prior to bis election in October he never held any public office. At that time he was chair mai of the Beaver County Republican Committee. 1 hda. Inquirer Jvov. 6th. BOROUGH AND COUNTY.

Friend Sciioch : Upon arriving in this city, the attention of the stranger is at once directed to the unusual quiet which prevail on all sides. He passes along through the principal avenues, and, per chance, he may see one, and even as many as two policemen standing on the corners, apparently stationed there more as an ornament than a necessity and, being aware of the fact that he is in a city of 45,000 inhabitants, he imagines it a perfect paradise upon earth. We are a city of vast mining and railroad operations machine shop-, roiling milk, bl.ist furnaces. etc., etc., employing thousands upon thou sands of working men of every nationality upon the face of the globe in fact, we stand only second upon the list of the iron cities o the State. And yet, during the hours o daylight, our principal avenues are compara tivel', as quiet a3 those ofa little country village. The police force of Scranton can be compared with an old maids teeth few and far between and even these are only cm ployed as a night watch. The fact of our city being so quiet and orderly during the day, can be easily accounted for, as it is then that the masses are busily engaged, perform ing their daily labor. But let this stranger remain within the precincts of this paradise city in day time for a night or two, and notice the decided change by gas light, and, we imagine, his ideas will be somewhat changed providing he has brains left in his cranium in the morning, sufficient to form an idea. It is then that this vast number of working people have finished their day's abor and are upon the streets enjoying a lit tle recreation, previous to retiring for the niht Aud there arc various ways for spending these few idle moments. There are some who walk about the streets for an hour or two, and then repair to their homes in respectable manner. There are a great many others who, night after night, resort to all the vilest dens of iniquity, cellar-hole rum shops, and other places of vice and crime, and there spend the night revelling in the drunkard's delerium. Consequent upon such doings, a great many of them awake from their stupor in the morning, only to find themselves encased within the illy-venti- ated gloomy walls of a place called the city ock-up and we venture the assertion that a more delectable specimen of a prison-pen does not exist in the country to-day. In justice to the city authorities however, we will state just here, that a new lock-up Is in course of construction, fronting on commercial alley, and, if we may be permitted tajudgo by the progress thus tar made upoa it, we would say that it bids fair to be completed about the end of the next century. At some future time we shall give your readers a few more ideas of Scranton by gas-light.. . CRmc Prof. Rond on Saturday last; paid this place a visit; and gave a free exhibition of wire walking.

A large crowd witnessed the exhibition. .- . i A Fiend. A brute named Pat Slorari, living near the toll-gate, beyond Hyde Park, was guilty teslerday cf an act so fiendish brutal that we earnestly hope he will be sent to the penitentiary; He was driving a horse up a hill in Hyde Park, when the animal balked, and refused to move. After shame fully beating and kicking the beast, Moran finally tied a stout cord arouud the horse's tongue, and actually tore the organ out by its roots. He then picked up the bleeding tongue, threw it into the wagon and drove on. A wan-ant was immediately issued for his arrest Scranton Rcpublican Oct. 28th, Furnishing goods, trunks and valices, at Simon Fried's, at astonishing low prices, Main street, btroudsburg, ra.

Would it not be well for reporters in quest of home items to be a little more positive as regards the truthfulness of an article before giving it publicity, and notcloz the wheels o progress, with meaningless gossip which can do them no good,and may not only injure their neighbor, but may give to the public abroad a bad opinion ot btroudsburg enterprise. One wuo Knows The item came in our way, in the course of our peregrinations about town. The truth of the assertion was forced upon us by the fact that in passing all three of the factories in business hours, all were closed. If all are now in operation, all the better; even though the wire, corn, and handles are manipulated into brooms, by unfledged apprentices. Reporter. Tuesday's Election.

It a is well knewn fact thai an oyster. man can tell tbe age ot bivalves tti nicety. This is not done, however, hv looking down in the mouth, b'uf simply ly counting the successive layers or nlat..- overlapping each other, of which tho oyster shell is composed. These are technically termed "shoots ' and each of them marks a year s growth. Ud to th time of the maturity of the oyster these shoots art regular and successive but af ter that time become irregular and are piled one over the other, so that the shell becomes more and more thickened and bulky. Judging from the size and thick ness which some shells attain, this mol lusk is capable of attaining a patriarchial longevity, and an oysters with fifty or ev n teree score years upon its back may by chance be met with.

The standard1 of fineness and weight is that of the' American coinage, the unit bein" the "yen," which corresponds with the Ameri can dollar in sire and value, though in its general appearance, style andfinish.it more resembles the new Mexican co'in- ase. The yen, half yen and Quarter ven fall round coins), are alike in everything but size and value, the design on all being identical. The obverse has a sun and halo in the centre, with a wreath below and three flowers above. The reverse has the Imperial dragon curiously coihd up in the centre, surrounded with Jap anese characters. The milling is the same as that on the American coinage. Hitherto it has been impossible to ct any coin except the dollar of the Repub lic of Mexico to pass current in China; but our advices state that the Chinese merchants in Japan are exporting the new Japanese coin to China by the cart load, as fast as it is issued from the mint, which would indicate that they expect it to go into general circulation in the Central Flowery Empire.

MrJ Charles Slater, alias Lawrence Coffey, is confined therein, and i said to be a no torious river thief, who wa arrested a few days ago in the eastern district, where it is alleged he was caught in the act of stealing. On FriJay last, Miss Adelaide Alexander, of N. York, called at the jail to see Coffey, aod after a protracted inter view concluded to get married to him. She went at once for a clergyman, who returned with her, and the twain were made "one flesh and one blood," in pre sence of Mr. Conraddy, the keeper. She was allowed to remain longer than the rules allowed, and when notified by the keeper that she must leave she got angry, declared she was Coffey's wife, and woulJ not leave without him. She swore she would release him or die in the aitmpt She was ejected by force, and came there: again on Saturday evening, when she threatened to pull the jail down if her husband was not released. She was final ly secured, and is now a raving maniac at the fourth precienct station house. It is stated that she loved Coffey dearly, but did not know he followed the "calliu" of a river thief." : Anatomy of the Teeth. A nerve, an artery and a vein enters the root of every tooth, and all through an opening just large enough to admit a human hair. The dental pulp is the ter mination of the nerve at the top of the tooth. In the molar teeth, it is the size ofa small shot. The ivory of the tooth (that part which lies under the enamel) is composed of an immense number of lit tle pipes or tubuli. which makes that nart of the tooth norus. Thi the rapid decay of ofa tooth when the enamel is gone. The acids of the saliva, ncai ana cold, penetrate these numerous cells, and cause the sudden destruction of the tooth. Tilling the cavity with some metal is the only cure. The nerve of one tooth connects with the nerve of every other tooth in either jaw. This is the reason why the pain as so often fr.lt on the opposite side from where the cau?e exists. - Tain is often felt in the jaw when the cause exists in the lower. Who wrote "Shoo Tlv ?" Whn wrnt the soni; and who comDosp.l tli nui.i? These have become questions of import ance, in consideration of the world wide popularity of this exquisite gem of com position.
