The True Doctrine. •
If our young men could be prerallol upon to
believe that the calling of a mechanic is as hon-
orable as that of the merchant or professional
man in the estimation of those :whose good

Attempts to 'Steal a Child.
One day last week a female belonging to a
band of Gypsies encamped at the Forrest
House, near Easton, was caught in the act of
mrryieg off a five year old daughter of Edward
Clark, of that place. The child was caught up
in the street and carried some distance, when
its cries attracted the attention of some pass
ers-by, who went in pursuit -of the old hag,
when the child was let Own and. the woman
made good her escape.
Erie Doable Track,
The Erie Railway Company haw advertised

perienced person with them whom they can

men died from eating wild parsnips, which
they mistook fur artichokes. Parents should
warn their children on these points.
Cattle on Railroads.

they expose themsetrinflb.their culpable care

near Spring Mills, in Montgomery county, it

Fall of a llititglair at Mutat°lila.
During the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the new Catholic church, at Sha

temporary flooring which bad been erected for
the accommodation of the vast multitude as
sembled there, gave way, and .ptecipitated a
large number of people to the basement be
ncath. It is Impossible at this time to give the
names and number of the injured, but it Is sup
posed that but six arc seriously injured. Bish
op Wood, of Philadelphia, and Bishop O'Hara,
of Scranton, who were conducting the ceremo
nies at the time of the accident, were among
those that went down with the falling floor, but
luckily escaped any serious Injury. Anthony
Kelly, formerly a freight conductor on the
Reading Railroad, Is so badly hurt that his life
is &paired of. One man had both legs broken.
A little boy and girl also had their legs broken.

tiary, is thus spoken of by the Repository and
Mt...roger, N. V .:
"Sam Welton's career has been short and
somewhat zhequered. Leis than fkll years old,
of rather prepossessing manner (when sober) he
was quite well calculated to deceive the unsus
pecting whom he intended to victimize. For
several years he was engaged extentively in op
erating upon die credulity of western ambitious
citizens, of all classes, not excepting even the
clergy, who were desirous of becoming sudden.
Iv wealthy. One of the dodges practiced by
:Welton was to inclose in a well written letter a
new, genuine twenty-five cent government is
sue as a sample of the "counterfeit," manuflic
tured by his firm,and sold by Min. at a very rea
sonable rate. This letter was to be treated as
strictly confidential, and the victim was advised
to show the sample to expert bankers,abd oth
ers, a'ho could not detect it Rom the genuine
"stuff" is.stted by thegovernment. Each person
was told In this letter where to address Mr.
"John Tice," Seneca Falls, Auburn, and other
points selected, the amount of "queer" they de.
sired to invest In. The victim was soon baited,
took the book, sent the greenbacks, and no an
swer nr counterfeit money was ever reeieved in
return. \Vc have been told that several of our
aspiring citizens have been taken hi by this
same kind of dodge, but mute by the saw-dust
swindle."
Another "Iterlew."
Our neighbor of the Susquehanna
takes the following notice of that "biort aphis
work" of the Montrose Rept/Mom, o bleu we
advertised last week, which we consider a mer
iturious stricture. We hold with the Journal,
that a county paper should not be confined to
the interests of Montrose, or the Republican or
Democratic party in its defense, or advocacy of
its issues, and by our fruits we are ready to be
judged. The Journal says:
"We were very much surprised to find the
following square confessionie the last issue ot
the rowdy paper:
*Quite an important issue, not long ago, was
the question of a division of the county, or the
establishment of another county seat in this
county. Is it nverrumry to ask our readers to
compare the position and influence of the Iwo
Montrose patstms on that question I' It is not to,
much to say that the Repolliean published four
times no much as the Democrat did against the
movement, an.: to which paper the advocates of
the measures attributed jto defeat - let them say.'
Cominent is quite 'unnecessary:People in this
tier of townships will doubtless show their ap
preciation at the services rendered by the
''county" organ in a practical manner. We
hare yet to learn that the people of this section
ever asked tar a "diciaion of the county." Fur
a paper professing to be an organ of Lim Coun
ty. the fight for the interests of Montrose and
its immediate vicinity, and against the plain
rights ot, the voters of goodly - portion ot the
county, was In very bad taste and far from cred-
A iscd/ paper Is esTmeted to advocate and de
fend the interests of the town where it is pub

call itself a County papeils a bald pretention,
and too stale, about as much so as its motto,

Gait Hamilton" says that "in a country like
this poverty Is presumption of defect." We
copy from one of her articles in the Independ
ent, as follows :
"What With hinder any man from earning his
own living? Illness may come: sudden calami
ty may falL Against these even energy may be
powerless; but, apart from this, it is to be as
stoned that be who failsis because he lacks wis
dom and not opportunity. And the same wolfs

starts ahead at a swinging pace. But oftener
the results seem to indicate that ft is of very lit
tle aye to help people who cannot help them
selves. The kingdom of pauperism is within
Ahem. The very causes that make them poor
keep them poor. It is not that society bears
down ban: upon them. It is that they are self.
Indulgent. If you see a widow and five child
ren shivering_over a few embers you pity them,
and you must send them coal; but you cannot
helpfccling a wrathful.,contempt at knowing
that they all wept to the photographers yester
day and had their pictures taken, utter buying a
couple of twentptive cent broches, on the way,
to adorn themselves withal. The very things
that you yourself would hesitate to do on ac
count of the eapenie, people who are partially
dependent on your charity will do without hes
itation. Where you, still .practice a natural,
cheerful and unthinklng:self.denial, they will
practice an equally cheerful and unthinking
seltdndnlgeoce. The remnants of bread
that' you dry in the ovens and--save for
future use they throw away. The frag
mentary seat-sleeve that you fashion into a flat
iron holier they put into the rag bag, and buy
new cloth for their holder. 'There you rise at
six, they Its till half past seven. Where you
walk, they ride, Where you pray and watch
and strive to doyour work thoroughly, thyme
content with einytjaing that will answer. That
is the reason why people are poor."
Necessity of is Market.
We often have heard inour own borough, es
well as other inland towns, much complaint by
those engaged in trade and commerce, that
farmers in the surrounding vicinity, whose pat
ronage in trade naturally belongs to those local
centres is much of It given to towns and cities
like Scranton and Binghamton and many have
interposed this as on Objection to public ttior
oughfares passing through these towns on nc
count of their tendency to divert trade and
' "kill the town." New we make this assertion,
"though the heavens fall" that If the life of any
town depends upon its isolation from the
world and the Inability of Its inhabitants to
leave it, then its life Is not Worth saving. Such
a boxtrap baited with this very old and musty
' cheese of past days will not serve to entrap the
young facetious ruts ot the present day. They
will travel around It and land mole, wholesome
food for the developement of their business ca
pacity. We also present nnothei hypothesis
which may be deemed bold and almost hereti
cal to the mercantile fraternity, but neverthe
less we must be allowed to lend our advice to
them as well as to their customers when we do
it in honesty of purpose and for their benefit,
and our readers will only accept it so far as it
meets reason and common sense, and hence
they should accept or reject on the same basis
and no harm can be dale. Commercial busi
ness alone will never build up a town. All
merchants and vendors of goods are mere
agents for the Agricultural and Manufacturing
interests, a needed number of which the peo
ple wtll demand and support and ate willing to
pay a good per centage to them for "corn
mission," but a town wholly dependent upon
trade for its growth will thrive about as well
as a water-mill a mile and a quarter from wa
ter. The merchant adds no wealth, In bulk, to
the community. but he is merely paid his "com
mission" for transacting the business of the
manufacturer and producer, and the responsi
bility of keeping on band needed wares and
merchandize. The great secret of mercantile
failure in many towns is this. If a certain num
ber of merchants who are alway necessary to
the convenience of any community, start laud
ncss and seem to prosper, there are a large
number of others lusting for their case and
comfort, who rush to the same torsions, until
the supply is very much gaoler than the de ,
mend, hence the life and death struggle, and a
personal warfare upon each other, resulting of
ten in ruinous failures, by which the communi
ty as well as the individual sutlers. The ere:t
un% who gave such diversity of feature and ca
pacity to mankind, no two even the same, nev
er intended that all should pursue the same oc
cupation. It is no one occupation that can
bseild up n town, but the grdater the diversity
the more thrifty will it be. If when one branch
of business is succeeding, parties desiring '
- get a living without work"—as the adage runs
—would seek some other which would serve to
aid those already started, as well as benefit
themselves and the community about thetnthey
would help to build tip such a town as all, the
railways bi Christendom could not run down.— ;
We can impart the secret to our mercantile
friends which will give them control of this
community, just to the extent they exercise it,
and keep people from trading ip adjoining 'I
towns, like Binghamton and Scranton. Slake
our own town by its diversity of businissn.l
acrommodation :In near like those towns as pos
•thle, and just in that proportion yon will tak'r
away all desire to go elsewhere. We are not
now speaking of "marble fronts" or costly '
dwellings, but simply of the business meth of
your community. To illustrate, we will take
our own borough of Montrose.
Our merchants cannot complain of the our
rounding thrillers, who expect -hy Mile plow to .
heroine they go to Scranton or Bing
ham ton, to do considerable n, ti inertia I business.
for this reason. Never during the noir years
since we have become a resident of Montrose.
has there been any market that the surrounding
farmers could come to, and receive cash for
their produce, as n certainty. Is it any wonder
that they go where such markets exist, and
when them, that they purchase Ureij grads! Is
it not rather a wonder that they (1O - Mat do so
inure than they (1.1? We make bold to s oy that I
one of the most certain enterprises to build up
this town, is the e,,tablishment of a cash mark
et for evcrthing that is produced in the sur
rounding country. There is plenty of room for ;
a lucrative business in this branch of commerce,
and the people will always find it for their own
interest to leave their money at home, and they
will be must ns willing to pay some lirino "com
mission merchant" ten or fifteen per cent to han
dle their produce, as to give it to New York or
Binghamton agents. Everybody don't need to
go into this business, but we want one good es
tablishment of this kind. if there is an over
plus of mercantile establishments let the capital
be withdrawn front some one of them, and an
establishment of this kind started. Or let some
of those who "grind the face of the poor" and
fetter the agricultural prosperity of the county
by "curb-stone" butchery-, come out from their
"dark holes" and engage in a legitimate calling,
one that will draw upon them the respect of so
ciety and of themselves, and more solid ivealth,
than to wear out their boots, and shrivel up
their souls (if they have any) in travelling to
and from the Prothonatarfs office, "seeking
whom they may devour."
You may attempt to fence in a town (yes and
whitewash it at that,) by fighting public outlets
or inlets, in order to keep trade in and bar cus
tomers out, brit you will just as certainly fail so
long as there aro those who want to get' in or
need to gel out Let the people understand that
there Ls no more "shows" to be seen abroad than
there is at bunts, and they will not go away
to be humbugged. Unless you do they will go,
ondwc shall not attempt to prevent it..

though our friend "Leighton" insinuated
through the Republican last week, that taking
down or putting up stove pipes was not in strict
harmery with male taste in this burg. Well per.

way, and somebody ought to assume the °Mee

Or late sonic disaffected parties have indulg
ed in frequent animadversions against the
trustees of the 3L E. Church, because the audi
torium instead of the Sunday School room was
not opened for Dr. Cbesshire's excellent lecture
on temperance, May let, 1873. So far as we
understand the minds of the trustees, they do
not fear truth, but do ask no departure from
that righteous standard in what may be said or
written coheerning this matter. It was well un
derstood by all persons interested down to the
time of the lecture, that the 8. S. room would
be used, and arrangements were made agreeable
to that plan, we are also credibly informed that
no applicaticn had Lon made for the other
room previous to that time. It would be well
for that New Milford Editor to 'ascertain facts
hereafter before giving public notice of events
with which he is not familiar.

Lumbering on the Delaware.
Over 2,900 rafts have passed over the Lacka
waxen dam this spring. and at least one hun
dyed more have gone down the river below
that point. At a very low average this would
make 120,000,000 feet of lumber sent to market
from the Delaware region, during one freshet
—the largest amount ever known to have been
shipped.
