A quake Story.
The Lock Haven Democrat says : ••One day
last week the daughter of Mr Joseph W. Snook
of Sugar Valley was out gathering w hortleber
ries with a party of girls, when a black snake
mu up her clothes and coiled itself twice around
her lower body next to the skin. The excite•
meal was intense among the party, but the
young girl in the embrace of the snake was the
coolest of them all. She commenced to tear
off ter clothing, and by the time they were
mostly off, the reptile had been' killed and was
found upon measurement to be eleven feet
long." That was a pretty boa g snake, but
then in reading the story you can leave off as
many feet as you please.
Corner Stone Laying
Fadrons or DEMOCRAT —The cornerstone
for the first Catholic church, in Meshoppen,
was laid on Sunday, August 16, by Ht. Rev.
Bishop O'Hara of Scranton, assisted by Rev. J.
J. Daily of St. Joseph, and P. J. Murphy, the
pastor. Before the blessing of the corner-stone
the Bishop delivered a very eloquent discourse
appropriate for the occasion. There were pre
sent a very large audience, some of whom were
protestants who were delighted with the cere
monies, and the Bishop's address, and those
who showed their appreciation by their liberal
contribution and subscription towards the erec-
Con of the church. The Sacrament of Confir
mation was administered at the nine o'clock
mass to a large number of children and adults.

A Steam Canal Boat.
The Budido Commercial Adrertiwr sat a that
the steam canal boat William Baxter. built at
Fishkill Landing, and which arrived in that
city on last Thursday at 9 o'clock p. m.. •"ac
complished the grandest feat achieved in canal
navigation." She lett New York loaded with
merchandise at 6 o'clock Friday evening, stop
ping sixteen hours at Fishkill and various canal
ports to receive or discharge freight, and made
the run from New York, including all deten
tions, in six days and three hours. The coal
consumed an us four tons---equal to aboutaixteen
pounds per tnile,or four cents a mile actual cost
of fuel. The paper abnt•c quoted says : "If
this'Zio,a not den.onstrate that steam is feasible
and economical fbr canal navigation, we should
like to know what is necessary. With ordinary
luck, Baxter will make the round trip consider
ably inside of fourteen days."
The Last Comet.
Holt to Find it-The new comet discovered a
few days ago at Merseilles, France, is now in
right ascension 1511. 10n.)., and north inclina
tion 6.5 degrees 30 minutes. It can be seen by the
aid of the ordinary s'y glasses used by seamen
by observing the following directions. 3lida ay
bet ween the two stars called "Guardians of the
Pole," and the second star in the handle of the
Dipper is lie star called Thuban and the (Alpha
Draconis.) Midway between Thuban and the
Guardians of the Pole and a little towards ze
nith are two stars of the fifth magnitude,barely
descernible by the naked eye. The comet at 9
o'clock, on August 15th,was between these two
stars, and seemed to be elongated slightly tow
ards the north east, with a faint indication of a
neucleus towards the opposite side. In the
field of view and to the right is a very fine
group of stars forming an isosceles triangle.
Shade Trees for Towns
In the Granger's Monthly for May, Mr. Wil
liam Sutherland gives some instructions about
planting trees in the streets of towns and cities.
What is wanted, says he, is trees easy to move,
of rapid growth, not liable to be injured from
the effects of gas or the action of worms. All
trees suffer more or less from the effects of a
gas leak near their roots, though some kinds
are less injured by this cause than others. Hun
dreds of trees die annually from the effects of
gas alone, while others die for want of nourish
ment, being planted on sidewalks that have
been graded up with coal ashes and other ref
use, without being sufficient soil put in to sup
port them, they grow a little at first and then
gradually fail. While the tulip poplar 'is a fast
grower anti invulnerable to worms, It is one of
the worst trees to move. The same is to be
said of the cucumber tree (Magualia swain
eta.) The lindens are fine trees,of rapid growth
easily moved, but among the first to he attack
ed by Insects, and The same may be said of the
maples. The white, red and yellow flowering
horse chestnut and the Norway maple are fine
trees, need very little pruning and are only oc
casionally attacked by Insects, but they are of
slow growth. The poplar and paper mulberry
are noble trees, but do not rout deeply and
hence throw up the pavement and blow over.
The offensive odor of the blossoms of the ail
an th us makes that tree undesirable. Tit author
judges the black or Carolina poplar to be the
best tree for city streets. It Is very easy to
moye, of rapid growth, not generally troubltd
by insects and not readily of ixted by gas. The
leaves are of a dark glossy green and of good
size affording ample shade. If the - tree be
healthy and properly planted; with a cart load
of good fresh earth, success Is almost certain.
Next in order conies the Norway maple and
horse chestnut.
What Others Think
The Susquehanna Gazette speaks in the tol
lowing terms of our candidates who reside at
that place :
John ff. Fitzsimmons, of this borough, can
didate for Representative on the Democratic
ticket, has been a resident of the county for
the past nineteen years. He Is roil well Inform
ed concerning the currant questions of the day;
has a spotless record ; is a man of unimpeacha
ble integrity, and entirely worthy of the confi
dence and support of the people. If elected
he will make a faithful servant.
Win. M, Post, of this borough, the Democrat
nominee for Congress from this distnct, is one
of the ablest lawyers in the state. lie should
have been in Congress years ago, and would
have been it Mrtnne had made him a little more
ambitious, We can say, with all candor, that
if sent from this district, the people, without
regard to party, will never regret it.
Consorting Coal Dust Into Fuel
Dr. J. Hayes, of Chester county Pa., has
constructed a machine for making coal from an
thricite dust. There are perhaps 50,000,000 tons
of coal dust at the different mines in Penn4l
vania, and this waste accumulates yearly at the
rate of filly per cent. of all coal consumed. It
is clearly seen that it this vast waste can be
utilized and the piles of coal dust virtually made
to be a 'mine above ground" the material
wealth of Pennsylvania would increase there
by. In time process of machinery•, simple and
complete, as exhibtied by Dr. Hayes, it is clear
ly proved that this coal dust can be converted
into coal equal to the best now in market.
This inventor certainly deserves the attention
of the coal mine owners, so largely interested
In this branch of industry peculiar to Penn.,
that owes to her resources in coal and iron
the vast industrial interests for which she is
celebrated the world over The experiment
made eel-molly shows that this waste can be
utilized under this plan propted by Dr. Hayes.
Defer not mail To-morrow.
Deter not until to-morrow that which can be
as well done to-day. The eighth article of the
constitution provides that "every male citizen,
twenty one years of age, possessing the follow
ing qualifications shall be entitled to vote at all
elections : He shall have been a citizen of the
United Stat.e.s at least one month; he shall
have resided in the state one year immediately
preceding the election ; he shall have resided
in the election district where be shall offer to
vote at least two months immediately preceding
the election. If twenty-two years of age, or
upwards, he shall have paid within two years a
slate or county tax, which shall have been as
sessed st least two rrionlis, and paid at least
one month before the election. The list of reg
istered voters is in possession of the assessors of
the several townships and boroughs, and the
duplicates of state and county taxes in posses
sion of the respective township and borough
collectors, and any citizen who desires to vote
for state or county officers in November next
should not fail to examine in time to prepare
himself for that important duty.
Court Proceedings.
Judge Dreher of Stroudsburg presided
Comtnonweal 4 .l vs. Charles Morris, indict
ment for larceny. in taking cloth from tailor
shop of J. Stonier. Verdict guilty. On appli
cation a new trial was granted.
Commonwealth vs. Frederick Lindsley, in
dicted Inc larceny in taking some $2OO in specie
belonging to widow Olive Ely, at the residence
of her son, AIM Ely, in Brooklyn ; being mon
ey left her by her late husband, Gordon Ely,
deed, and which was found to be mysteriously
missing from an old chest some months ago—
Early Wednesday morning, and before any
venbct in the case was rendered, Mr. Anti Ely
called upon Mr. Lindsley, and informed him
that he had obtained, during the night, satisfac
tory proof of his entire innocence and was anx
ious to do all in his power to relieve him of
any suspicion. Ite afterwards went to Mont
rose and by his attorney, stated in open court
that Mr. Lindsley was sat guilty, which was
soon after the jury had rendered a verdict of
not guilty.
Curious Freak of Lightning.
Some curious freaks of lightning were wit
nessed on the Hackensack branch of the Erie
during the prevalence of a thunderstorm a new
days since. As the mail train was passing over
the meadows, and just before reaching the
drawbridge over the creek, near Fairview,
great quantities of electricity played around
the car wheels, and made noises like the firing
of artillery, On the locomotive, however, of
which L. C. NILO,Ie was engineer, and George
Lulls fireman, the scene is described as terrific.
Every bit of brims on the engine seemed to
blaze. and the snapping and cracking was
frightful. Both Mr. liable and his assistant
were thoroughly charged with electricity, feel
ing painful tingling sensations in every part
of the body So tearful was he that the matter
would grow worse, that he shot off the steam
lest he might soon be unable to touch the lever
or throttle. It is estimated that this extraordi
nary phenomenon continued for about two
minutes, and both engineer, and fireman say
that it was the most severe they have ever
known. Every passenger could hear the noise
without difficulty, and each was thoroughly
alarmed.
A Model Charge.
The lollowirg charge was made to a grand
jury in Steuben county, N. Y., in the early
days of that county and will well repay perus-
"Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : In the ab
sence of the first Judge, it becomes my duty to
address you. It you expect much of a charge
you will be disappointed. as it will be nOthing
but a squib. I see among you many gentlem en
who understand the duties of the Grand Jurors
much better than 1 do. I need only say, then,
you know your duties, go stead and perform
them. The Sheriff has handed me his criminal
calendar, by which It ai.pears be has five poor
devils in Jail fur various offenses ; two of them
are for horse stealing. :Cow, gentlemen, there
are grades in crime, and common sense would
Indicate that the punishment should be in pro
portion to the criminality of the offense, as ex-
Whited by the circumstances of each case.—
That 1 suppose is the law ; If it Is nut, It ought
to be so. You will understand what I mean by
this when I inform you that one of the scamps
stole a slab-sided Yankee mare, while the other
took a Virginia blood-horse. Two others are
indicted for Mayhem. One of them Air biting
off a negro's nose, which I think exhibits a
most depraved appetite; the other for gouging
out an Irishman's eye, a most ungentlemanly
way of fighting. I hope you will look well to
these fellows. The last is a poor cuss who stole
a jug of whisky. The article is so plenty and
cheap that it may be had by asking, anywhere,
rind stealing it is the meanest kind of offense,
and deserves the severest punishment that the
law will permit. The great men at Albany
have made it our special duty to charge you in
regard to private lotteries. What is the mighty
crime involved in this business 1 cannot see,
when Mating; and pitching coppers is tolerated
hut I suppose they know, and as the law makes
it our duty, 1 charge you to look, out for them.
Sheriff, select two constables, and march these
men WI to their duties."
Arrested for Forgery
Last week a stranger giving his name as Mc-
Kinney called on David Kenner, of Cherry
Ridge, and offered him about $3.000 worth of
notes of prominent residents of Canaan and
and South Canaan townships at a handsome
discount for cash, claiming that he had just
purchased the hotel property of J. J. Langer in
Sterling township, and had got such favorable
figures for 'money down" that he could well
afford to sacrifice a considerable amount on the
notes if he could realize on them immediately.
The notes were payable one day alter date, and
according to the man's story, pad been given
for money loaned by him to the several parties
they having paid him a premium In hand in ad
dition. Notwithstanding the well known res
ponsibility of the drawers of the notes, Mr.
Kenner declined to buy without further inquir
ies, and the man left. On Friday he appeared
in Hawley, and calling upot. Mr. Charles Dan
iels succeeded in selling him a judgment note
for $590 purporting to be drawn by Jacob Mohr
of Paupack township, dated June 25th, 1874.
Mr. Daniels paid $5OO for the note. The stran
ger having secured his money went at once up . -
on a spree, in the course of which he let fall
some expressions which elicited doubts as to
the honesty of the transaction to which he had
been a party. Mr. Daniels's suspicions having
been aroused he consulted with some of the
business men of Hawley, as to the genuineress
of Mr. Mohr's signature, and finally becoming
convinced that the paper was forged, be de
niantled the return of his money. The strang
er finally handed out $498, and on a perempt
ory demand, hunted up two dollars more. Mr.
Daniels then obtained a warrant for his arrest,
and be was taken before Justice Arnold, of
Palmyra, who committed him to Jail. He gave
his name to the Justice as John R. Reser, hut
since his incarceration in jail, claims that he
has not divulged his real name, nor does he in
tend to. He states that he is married, and very
respectably connected. To Mr. Kenner he
claimed to be a nephew of a prominent resi
dent of Canaan township. [leis about 28 years

Professional Begging.
There never was a time when so much beg
ging was done as at the present time, and we
have the best of reasons for declaring there
never was a period when so large an amount of
unmeritorious supplication fur aid was made to
the public for assistance for objects which are
of no importance to the people at large, for
purposes of selfish or a peculiar character,
which ought to be furthered within the circle
which they interest, and for aid for objects
which have no tangible existence, and the mon
ey subscribed for which too often goes to en
rich or contribute to the greedy pleasures of
dishonest men and women. We live in an age
of respectible begging; begging under the guise
of charity ; gambling under the pretext of fur
thering charity, and petty little speculations to
get hard-earned money out of unwary people's
pockets, to adorn places of worship which
would be more acceptable to God if they were
plain, or to carry on some grand scheme of hu
manity which requires more money to keep up
its organization than is used to relieve those it
professes to succor. All these are but so many
drains to the public. They waste its resources,
and deprive,the deserving poor of what belongs
to them; and the people are becoming weary of
it. Business places are besieged day after day
by crowds of people asking contributions for
all sorts of objects. The majority of people
seem to imagine it is only necessary to orga
nize, appoint committees, and go forth and
gather money from those who have to earn it
by sweat of hands and toil of brain. Subscrip
tion books are pushed into one's face at every
corner. Door bells are rung all the day by these
agents in the cause of multiplied charity—char
ity to build places of worship—charity to fur
nish society rooms—charity to buy military
uniforms—charity to gild and adorn—charity
to give the pastor surprise parties—charity to
build monuments—charity in every name
and guise. It is well enough for these who
have to give to subscribe, hut even those are
becoming tired of the eternal application,while
men and women of ordinary earnings, who
with thrift and economy are able to make a
respectable appearance, are badgered and be
sieged by these applications, until the whole
st stem has become an oppression. Taking
national, State and municipal taxation into
consideration, and then considering the matter
and extent of these application thus made to
the people for voluntary aid, to which 'again
add the necessities of trade and the absolutely
deserving objects to which all feel they ought
to contribute a portion of their earnings, and
each community has more than it can carry.
It is taxed far beyond its means; and must be
relieved—must be protected in some way from
the fearful drain thus put upon it. There must
be less work undertaken of a secular and pri
vate character, which presumes to depend on
the people for aid to carry it through. We mast
stop useless expenditures of a public character
until] we have paid our official debt and maw
ered somewhat from the burdens entailed by
the war. Communities are actually languish
ing by reason of these drains. Many a man
and woman is literally suffering in order to
make an appearance in charity's lists, and
debts are thereby created which are repudiated.
What is wanted In such connections is the in
dependence to say no! Who will lend in this
reform 4

The Markets
Financial
If there is any change in the money
market it is in the direction of a dimin
ished demand and in an increased supply.
There are assuring signs of an opening
of an active trade, but they are prospec
tive only, and not actually present.
There are strong motives that should
influence grain operators in particular to
take advantage of early sales. But in the
interim, rates remain without change.
Most of the paper now negotiated is in
anticipation of actual wants. We quote
call loans at b per cent. Strictly first
class two-named paper was negotiated at
5@6 per cent., and single-named paper of
the same grade 6g7 per cent.; loans on
government collateral rule at 5 per cent.;
on other fir St-class bonds and stocks at
