Church es, with other friends, gave their Pastor, Rev. J. II. Fritz a donation party on Tucs day last, at the parsonage, near Shawnee, Many partook of the good things, the people themselves had provided. The attendance was very uumerous, yet the whole festival passed off pleasantly, orderly and in a Chris tian spirit. The pastor and lady feel truly grateful for these tokens of affectionate regard, and trust that the Giver of all good gifts, will bless these dear friends with the abun dance of His grace, and also "in basket and in store." We shall, in a few days, raise in front of our establishment, a new sign, to which we would call attention. The work will be pvonouueed perfection by all who look at it, and it mav be well to notice the name of the artist, "Price," which will be found in small letters, near the lower edge. Charley, after the lapse of years, has lo.-t none of his vigor in this line, and when a real artistic Sign is needed, he is the lad to, call upon to paint it. His present whereabouts is Scran ton, but none of us here have ceased to look upon him as an old Stroudsburg boy. "May his shadow never be less." The 22d of February passed here without the least notice. Tis pity that all those days, which used to be venerated and observed by the good fathers the 8th cf January, 22d of Febr'y. and even 4 th July of should receive no more heed from the people of to-day than other days. If it is profitable to reverence the Sabbath as the da' of the Lord's rest, it is equally profitable and right to heed the day which gave us victory over the Lordling! of British power, the day which gave a father to his country, and the day which gave birt and independence to a nation. The ide: may be simple, but we conccrve that men arc enobled bv cmbending the Sineos braced by the cares of life, and a little children playing the joyful and the thankful ovrr the memory of the deed of the great fathers o the Republic. Itood's Household magazine for March has taken a "New Departure,' with Gail Hamilton as its editor-in-chief. In her salutatory she unblushing!- avows that "The original and governing motive of this Magazine is to make money. We know that this is a faet unparalleled in the history o literature, and we might disguise it in finer phrase, but the underlying motive would stil be the same. Profoundly as we believe in virtue, morality, and the power of the press. we would never publish a periodical if we did not hope to advance our fortune thereby.' Yet just how fortunes arc to be advanced by the publication of an original Magazine o nearly sixty pages, contributed by such wri ters as Greeley, Parton, Bungay, Beccher. etc., and edited at an expense of nearly six thousand dollars all for one dollar a year, this is not so apparent to the geueral reader, and is explained only by the fact of its enor mous circulation, which now exceeds that o any other Magazine published. Any person not acquainted with the Magazine mav re ceive a specimen free, by addressing S. S Wood & Co., Newburgh, N. Y. Mosc Case, the world renouned Gui tarist, gave one of his unique concerts, made up of the classie, the Sentimental and the comic in music combined, at Hollinshead's Hall, on Wedneseay evening of last week He had a good audience, and all present were delighted with the manner in which they were entertained. Asa guitarist Mr. Case stands unrivalled. It is inded a marvel. that he can bring out such a concourse of sweet sounds, from an instrument which i generally looked upon as suitable only for ac companiment m singing. In his hand songs. marches, waltzes, gallopades, mazurkas K-c &c, rush out of the guitar with a richness and fullness, that one would suppose could only be produced from a Piano Forte, or Urgan ; While from the man, himself there btrrsts forth, as naturally as water runs from a spring, such a bandget of comicality, as could not tail to make a very anchorite split his sides with laughter. Mr. Case will give another concert this evening, and every body should make it a point to witness his wonder- ul bkill as a guitarist, and his, if possible, still more wonderful powers as a com median. The concert will take place at I loll: fatheads lall. THfc Williamsburg' dramatic Assoction , composed of young ladies and gentle'taen. residents at that place, gave exnibhioTiS of their histrionic skill, at Hollinshead's Hafy to fair audience, on Monday and Tuesday even ings last. The performances were above the efforts of homemade. Thespians generally, and gave satisfaction to all present. . . At the morning service in tho M. E. Church last Sunday, the pastor, Rev. J. S. J. McConnell announced the pleasing fact that the indebtedness of the church was now re duced to $4080. 1 7, and to meet this there are subscriptions for the full amount, from which there need not be more than $650 to $700 lost. Since the commencement of the new church enterprise the sum of $21,450 00 has passed through the hands of those interested. $6000.00 was collected on subscriptions by Rev. Mr. Ridgway, and $8150.00 by the present pastor on subscriptions, and $7300.- 00 on loans most of which has been refunded. The entire amount actually spent in the im provements and to save the church from the disastrous effects of the freshet of October 1869, has been $18400.00. The pastor gave great praise to tho trus tees of the church ior the confidence they have manifested in him, and the manner in which they have prosecuted their church enterprise to its present complete state. There was the largest attendance upon the communion service on Sunday, that has been observed for many years, if not indeed the largest ever observed in Stroudsburg. FEBRUARY COURT. Court meet, Hon.

Rut the officer return ed to notify the woman to appear in court in the moruiog, aud her guilt was dis coved.

The upper rolling mill, with six trains, rolls, spike, bolt, and nut factory, pattern shop, pattern storehouse, and foundery, were entirely destroyed. The loss is probably from 200,000 to SC00, 000, but it is impossible to ascertain ac curately, as the machinery is covered with debris. The portion destroyed was in surcd for about StOO.000, distributed among some 15 offices, mostly of foreign companies, no one office losing more than $7,000. The works were the most exten sive in America, aud afforded employment to 2,500 hands. Sunday Gunning.

State Treasurer's Report State Treasurer Mackey uives a very satisfactory statcmeut of the condition of the fiuances of the Commonwealth in hi annual report for the fiscal year endiu" November i0, 1S71. He says : It is a matter for congratulation that the finances of the State afford an exhibit so satisfactory. During the year past tha reveuues have maintained the annual i& ciease which has been developed siuce the adoption of the present system of tax tiou, and the public debt has bce: proportionately reduced. It is believed that a revenue, from the ordiuary source,, larger than that of 1871, can be relied upon for the year 187'i. The receipts of the past year are 801,312.33 in excess of the receipts for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1870. They are swollen", however, $70S,7 10.(57 by payments by the National Government to that amount upon the claims of the State for military expenditures during the rebellion. Deductiug this sum from the gros execss, there remains 8152,031.71, as the actual excess of the ordinary sources for the hit year over those for the year preceding. The expenditures for 1871 exceed tho?e of 1870 by 533,550 Ui, the excess being occasioned principally by the in creased amount of debt redeemed and the expenses of the government during the year 1371. The receipts at the treasury tor the last fiscal year foot up 7,197, 945.02, which, with the balance in the treasury November 30, 1870, 1,302, 042. 82, shows a total of 3,500,:88 .44.

About eleven weeks ago, a youni; lady named Cox, a daughter of Miles Cox, of Stodartsville, weul out into the yard tj kill the chickens. The dog followed her picking up one of the chickens ran off with it. She chased him with a stick, to recover it, and coming up with him he turned upon her and bit her in the srni, lacerating it fearfully. Her mother an 1 her brother coming to the rescue, were olso badly bitieu by the infuriated beast. The wounds healed however, aud nothing more was thought of the matter. The young lady was engaged to be mar ried to a younguian living at GoulJsb;iro. named Alfred Kerrw-k, and the wedding was appointed to come off at the lace about two weeks aso. On the wedding morning as she vrns about to perform her ablution?, the slisht of the water sent a shiver through her whole system and frightened her, and at the breakfast table the coffee had an ef fect upon her that she spilhd it over the table. She then complained of feeling unwell, and her friends advised her tore main at home, but she said she diJ no", want to disarpoiut Al., aud accomrsnie'l by a sister proceeded to Gouldsboro, where the weeding ceremony was per formed. Immediately after this she was seized with spasms, bearing all the audicariotn of hydropobia. In one of her luciJ in tervals she warned the company that she would bite them if they did cot keep away from her; Rut," said she to lie husband, "Al, you need not be afraid, I won't bite you." In one of her paroxisms she bit a lady who was endeavoring to soothe her. It was the wife of Doc. Hoffman, who drives the stage from Gouldsboro to the Sand cut, on ihc D. L. & W. railroad. Soon after assurins her husbanJ that she would not bite him, she was seized with convulsious, and layiucr back in hi arms died. We have seldom been called upon t record so sad a case as thi.
