The total population of the Domin ion of Canada, by the recent census, isascer- taincd to Lc 3,484,92-1, or an average in crease of twelve and a half per cent, since 1861 just about the population of the colonics at the time of the Declaration of Independence. The trial of Mrs. Wharton now in pro press at Annapolis, lor the murder ol (jlencral Ketcho.ni of the United States unny, is probably the most interesting event iu court annals of the year, if not of the times. The high social, though eccentric position, hitherto held by the lady, and the singular train of circm Ftanial evidence against her, have in mauy minds established the conviction of her uilt, while loving friends still believe her protestations of innocence. So great is the iutcrest manifested in the case, that many papers have scut special re porters to give the evidence and full par ticulars brought to liyht by the trial.

The deaths from small-pox in Phila delhia last week numbered 199, which is 34 less than the previous one. The report of the Board of Health shows that the disease is now pretty well distributed over the city New cases are less frequent than before, and the panic that existed two or three weeks ago has now mostly subsided. Serious Accideni.-JamesS. White known as Windy Jim, met with a serious ac cident, at Fiaher's crossing several days ago. As he was driving across the railroad track, a train of cars st ruck the hind end of the W agon he was driving, and threw him sev eral feet in the air. Alighting on some rocks, which were laying around lose, he was badly cut about the head and body, and fears were entertained that he had been killed. We are pleased to learn that he is rapidly recover ing. The wagon was left a complete wreck. White's escape from instant death was a tDii-ac.'e. Wa n t eJ .

In New York the Del. & Hudson, and the Pennsylvania Coal Company retail the ordinary family sizes at $5.23 per ton. Cau the D. L. &, W. Company give any good reason, why we, within 50 miles of the Coal fields should pay from $5.70 to $6.10, for the same article ? They sell cheaper in ew York; why should they press the heavy hand upon us. -o Wc see, every once in a while, quite a blockade on Walnut street, in front of Wal lace's Store. The blockades on Broadway Xew York are no circumstance to these. In vestigation into the matter, has shown the cause to be the large stock of immense lucious bivalves, which is daily being received at Forkcrs, alias Stickems, first door below the Washineton Hotel, where Prince John serves them up stewed, fried or on the half shell, in a manner not to be approached by any other caterer. Call there, and "you will see how it is yourself." IutEieran Church. Mr. Harry Wolf, has accepted the position of Organist in the Lutheran Church, and is now engaged in raising an efficient choir, so necessary for the due performance of the Liturgical Servi ces. The Introductory Song last Sabbath evening by him and his sister was well execu ted and fully appreciated. The congregation is gradually increasing, and as several parties indicate a disposition to become constant at tendants, the Church Council are endeavor ing to make the audience room warmer than it has been heretofore. Wc learn that Geo. L. Walker Esq., the indefatigable real estate agent, of East Strondsbunr, has sold his interest in the business, to his partner, Wilson Pierson, Esq. Mr. P. has taken in as partner a Mr. Stillman, of Xew York, and the Agency will hereafter be carried on under the firm name of Pierson & Stillman, who will give their undivided attention to the interests of all who entrust business to them. Mr. Pierson has resided in East Stroudsburg for some time, and is well known as a prompt, reliable busi ness man, and as his partner comes among us well recommended, we think our public many safety trust business to their hands. Boy's Rubber Boots at Fried's. Fat Porkers Silas L. Drake, Esq., recently slaughtered two hogs of the Chcster White breed, fourteen months old, which weighed respectively 43S and 422 pounds. Lewis Kienest killed two which wheiched 353 and 3G2 pounds. Moses Braban killed one welshing 402 pounds. Oiiis B. Gordon killed one weighing 370 pounds. Pretty good this for Stroudsburg where all the feed has to be bought. Heavy hogs were also killed by other parties but we have not yet learned their weight, and a number are yet to be slaugh tered. Internal Revenue Decision. Under date of the 1st instant, the cashier o a national bank in Pennsylvania writes the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, making the following inquiry : "Is the income on the new five per cent, ten-forty bonds, de posited by national banks for security of cir culating notes, to be included in the two and a half per cent, tax on individuals, or is it exempt." In reply to which the Commis sioner says, that the interest derived from the new five per cent bonds of the United States, issued under the refunding Act o July 14th, 1870, is not taxable under the in ternal revenue laws.

Scranton, Dec 4, 1S71. .Friend Scnocu : Thanksgivingday was very' generally observed in this city, business being suspended, and appropriate services were held in the" several churches. 4 The party of young, gentlemen, nine m number, who took a flying visit to your borough on Thursday last, were principally members of the Nay-Aug Fire Co. of this city',, and the object of their . visit was to examine the new Steamer recently purchased by the authorities of Stroudsburg. They were unanimous in the decision that the machine was a real beauty, excelling by far the Xay-Aug in that respect, but they enter tain grave doubts as to the water capacity of the "Pocono" being equal to their favorite, and are anxious that a trial between the two should be had. Arriving at Strouds- bur? with very keen appetites a ride of fifty miles over the D. L. & W. It. R., good for dyspeptics they registered them selves with mine host Allcndcr, of the Stroudsburg House, and immediately enter cd the dining room, and judging from the very rapid manoeuvre in which the many good things spread before them disappeared, wc opino that they were equal to this Thanksiivin emergency. Dinner being over they took a stroll about town, for the purpose of seeing t he sights and the ladies and enjoying themscleves as best they might ' during their limited stay. The weather being extremely cold, it was neces sary that stimulants should be imbibed to revive- their spirits, and, as mixers of drink, and geniol, social companions, they declare that "Ned" and -'Johnny" cannot be excell ed. A number of the 'boys' dropped into the Emperor Christil's saloon, and, during their stay a pane of glass was accidentally broken, which was promptly paid for, and nothing more thought about the matter by the parties directly interested. But iu al places there are busy-bodies, and Strouds, burg, it appears, is no exception to the genera rule, a3 Mr. "Santy" Stdlwe'l, foreman of the Aay-Aug company, had the facts basely misrepresented to him, by some poor fellow who probably is troubled with a light brain. After visiting the saloon, however, and inter viewing "Christie," he learned the truth of the story. After tea, the remainder of their time was passed in and around the hotel, where they enjoyed themselves hugely. At 7:30 they embarked for home, where they arrived "on time," very much pleased with their trip, and earnestly hope that the day i not for distant when they may again visit Stroudsburg, under more favorable circum stances. Critic. If you are in need of over coats go to Fried's. Fur the Jcfferbuiiiaii. Mr. Editor : Allow me to correct, through the columns of the Jeffersonian., an cno:ieous impression that prevails in regard to the "Wickershaui German-English Nor mal School" enterprise. Some of the persons who arc opposed from sinister motives, of course to the en terprise, and therefore stoop to any and all means to defeat it, have, by means of mis representations, produced upon the minds o well-meaning persons, and who would other wise have been willing to give the enterprise their pecuniary support, the impression, that the Stock Company known as "The Wicker sham German-English Normal School" has the power, a power which, it is asserted the Company intends to exercise, viz., of laying a tax on the stock-holders, for the payment of all debts that may be incurred. In reply to this I would state, 1 That wc intend to "pay as we go." 2. That the power to lay a tax on the stock holders, for any purpose whatever, is not granted by our charter, 3. That, therefore, no stock-holder need pay more than he has subscribed. 4. That iu case the Company should break, which is supposing the iuostextrenieca.se, only the property which is held by the Com pany as xitclt and not th. private property of any stock-holder or stock-holders would be liable to seizure. 5. That in ntakang these statements, I am supported by the legal opinion of Hon. John B. Storm, and also by the legal opinion of two other eniment lawyers in our state. Of what nature will be the next lie that shall feel myself called on to nail? The worst feature of this wholesale and retail lying business is, that it is indulged in by men who know, or at least ought to know, better, and who never did subscribe, and do not intend ever to subscribe, a single red cent towards the enterprise, Is it asking too much, when I ask all those persons who do not wish the school enter prise well, to hold their peace, and let the whole matter have a free and unobstructed course? Yours, Fraternally. D. E. SCHCEDI.KR. Men's Rubber Boots at Fried's. - i A Good Story A Democratic Majority at Last. One of the California papers tells thi good story oi Hie recent election in that i. st a . . State : "On the morning after the elections. some of the Democrats wore terribly long faces as the result came over the telegraph wires. A Democrat who lives a few miles lroni town, and whr by the way, wa one of those earnest Democrats who was not alraid to smell powder in defence of the couth during the rebellion, came into town, and was told of the bad uews to his party. He immediately replied, -That is notning ; l rose every morning for four years during the war and heard worse news than that. Another remarked to urn that he was disgusted with the result. and desired to sell out and emigrate. 'Where would you go to 7 was the sharp, query.

Five persons have been bound over at Media, Pa., to appear at Court on the charge of selling intoxicating drinks in violation of the Borough Charter.

Forty thousand dollars was collected on passengers' baggage at New York dur ing the past year, being a larger sum than has ever been collected before on such goods before in a year. This is the result of the examination which is considered so ob noxious. It is estimated that in nine cases out of ten the owners of such bag gags would smuggle through the goods thus discovered and taxed, and cheat the government if it were not for the inspec tors. It is expected that three Territories will apply for admission as States at the coming session of Congress Utah, Col orado and New Mexico ; also that two new Territories will apply for incorpora Hon Pembina and Oklahoma. The for mer will comprise nn area of territory on the Red River of the North, to extend from Minnesota to Montana, from the for ty-sixth to the forty ninth degree of north latitude. Oklahoma will be only a re or ganization of the Indian Territory, and if it is lormed it will be entitled to send an Indian delegate to Congress. A Important Decision. A gentleman visited New York, went to one of the largest hotels, and took a room. On going to bed at night, he lock ed his door, and placed his watch and money under his pillow. It is probable that nine out of ten strangers who visit rMew York do the same thing under like circumstances. On waking in the morn ing. he discovered that both watch and money had been 6toIen. Thereupon he sued the proprietor of the hotel for fifty dollars, being the amount of money lost, and for the value of the watch, about three hundred and fifty dollars. On the trial, evidence was offered iu behalf of the defendant to show that the notice had been given that the law required. The plaintiff obtained a verdict in his favor or the full amount demanded, and an an pel was taken from the judguieut. Important Decision. It has been decided, and it is no doubt good law, that if a note bearing interest at 10 per cent., for a specified time, is not naid at the time specified, tue lioiuer can- not demand alter that date more man u ner cent., as the 10 ter cent, was a sub ject of contract, aud the contract expired at the expiration of the time stated on the face of the note. Parties should be careful iu taking notes after stating the amount agreed upon, if it be more than G per cent., to add on the face of the note, "until paid. Death from Blowing Down a Lamp Chimney. The Luzerne Union records another terrible accideut resulting from the too common practice of blowing down a lamp chimney to exthinguish the light. The casualty occurred in Cleveland, Pa., a few nights since. Mrs Elizabeth Stark dis robed to retire about 10 o'clock. She at tempted to extinguish her coal oil lamp in a very common manner, by blowing down the chimney. The lamp exploded throwing over her the blazing liquid, and in an instant she was euveloped in flames aud was terribly burned. There seems no end to accidents resulting from the careless use of kerosinc, and people be too careful how they manasc and handle their lighted lamps. A International Race. Hoi. McDaniel, the owner of the fa roous American horse, Harry Bassett has written the following letter to Log land: I am anxious to test Harry Bessetl with the best horse of England, or any other country, but under the circum stances stated, that test must be made on American soil. If Mr. Gretton will not bring Sterling here, you may say, through the Turf, I tela and rami, that I wil make one of a series of races, of from two to four miles, heats or dashes, for from 25,000 to 850,000 a side, each race S10, 000 forfeit, Harry 15cssett against any- horse in the world ; the races to be run under the rules of the American Jockey Club, either at Jerome Park or Saratoga A new cure for that terrible disease i cancer, nas oeen introduced, and is now being extensively advertised. It is the sap of a South American vine called Cun durango (the English of which is eagle vine). A correspondent of the New York Herald, some time ago, visited the place where this vine grows, and where its medical properties have been well test cd, to learn all about it, as a medicine so vastly beneficial to suffering humanity would warrant illimitable research and investigation. This coirespondeut, after a thorough examination, and after gather ing from the uatives all the information that he could obtain, says that it has cured many diseases of a cancerous na turc, restoring the patients to apparent health ; but the cases thus apparently re stored died shortly afterward, from some cause, supposed to be from the e fleets o the medicine. Rules for Nursing; Small-Pox Patients. Have the patient placed in one of the upper rooms of the house, the farthest removed from the rest of the family, where is to be had the best ventilatiou and isolation.

Remedy for Scalds and Burns. The New York Sun has a correspond dent who writes that "the readiest and most useful remedy for scalds and burns an i cmbrocntion of lime water and linseed oil." These simple agents com bined form a thick crcamlikc substance, which effectually excludes the air from the injured parts, and allays the inBato. mation almost instantly. He mentions a case where a child fell backward into a bath tub of boiling water, and was nearly Uavcd irom uer necK 10 oeiow ner hips. Her agonies were lnocscnoaoie : but her clothing being gently removed, and the lime and oil preparation thickly spread over the injured surface, she was sound asleep in five minutes. Subsequently the parts were careiuny wasnca witn warm milk and water three times a day, the oil dressing renewed, and the little patient- rapidly recovered. Though all the scalded skill came, off, she did not have a scar. This remedy' leaves no hard coat to dry on the sufes, but softens the parts, and aids nature to' repair the injuries iu the readiest and most expeditious manner. The mixture may be procured in the drugtorcs ; but if not thus accessible, slake a lump o quick lime in water, and as soon as the water is clear mix it with the oil and shake well. If the case is urgent, use boiling water over the lime, and it will become clear in five minutes. The pre paration may be kept ready bottled in the house, and it will be as good wheu six months old as when first made. The Corn Crop of the West. Fears were at one time entertained' that, with the large destruction cT grain in Chicago, and other portions of the west,, as well as the reported deficit in Europe,, that there would be a scarity of Bread stuffs iu this country, with prices that' would seriously operate against the poorer classes. Western papers however iufurci us that the corn crop of the west, the pre sent season, has proved the best harvested" for years. In many portions of Indiana,. Io'wa, Missouri, Nebraska add Minnesota, corn is offered in the cribs at from ten to fifteen cents a bushel. Iu Illinois and" Kentucky the yield has been beyouodull precedent. The wheat crop has also lcen very large. In Europe, on the contrary,, there appears to have been a heavcy de flcit in the grain harvests in nea?ly alii countries. Iu England the general fill ing off has been variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty per cent. ; while in Hungary, the Danubian Principalities, portions of Austria, and iu Southern Russia all countries that have usually exported large quantities of grain, there has been a great decrease from the average production. The ravages of the potato rot aud the cattle disease iu Great Britain will increase the demand for grain and animal food, and the United States will be able to supply to both in any quanti ty at reasonable prices, as cheap bacon aud pork, articles extensively consumed everywhere, are the natural consequence of cheap corn. Congress did very little real business last week. The appointing of the Com mittees was the main evcut, which was followed by the reJercnce of the Presi dent's message to the divisions. In the Senate the most striking incident was the notice given by Mr. Sumner of his inten tion to preseut a bill to abolish the Inter nal Revenue Bureau. It provides that after the first of June next all taxes ex cept those upon distilled spirits, ferment ed liquors, and tobacco iu its various forms, shall be abolished, and these taxes shall theuee-forth be collected by statu s. the stamp tax on distilled spirits to be 75 cents per gallon. The Revenue Bureau the bill permits to contiuuc until the 1st of September, to give time to wind up its affairs. After that time, the business of selling stamps and detecting frauds upu the revenue is to be iu charge of the Se cretary of the Treasury. Bjth Houses on Friday adjourned uutil Monday. Very little business of iutercst will be consider ed before Jauuary. Stroudsburg- Market KeporU Corrected weekly for The Jf-vitrsoxiax, by C. 1).
