Wil liam Davis, Esq., Representative Dele gate to the Union Stale Convention, which assembles at Ilarrisburg on the 7th of March. They have also concurred in the appointment of Samuel E. Dim mick, Esq., oi "Wayne, as Senatorial Del egate from this District. The appoint ments are both excellent, and the Union men hereabouts may rest assured of be ing faithfully represented. "We are pleased to learn that our young friend A. II. Davis, M. D., de signs locating himself in practiciu Strouds burg, and that he will open an office in a few days. The Dr. is a graduate of Penn sylvania University, was a close student, and has the Medical knowledge and the ability to make a most skillful practition er. "We wish him a full measure of suc cess. .. i tO" Wc were pleased to learn that the Donation visit, made some time since, to the Rev. J. Kirrt Davis, the efficient and much respected Pastor of the Shawnee Presbyterian church, the oldest religious organization in this county, netted the -handsome sum of 5275. It was a most cheering testimonial to a faithful laborer in his Master's vineyard, that hi3 earnest services were duly appreciated. The Stroudsburg Woolen Facto ry is now in operation. The work thus far has been rather of an experimental character than otherwise, to try the ma chinery. In a few weeks the hum of the spindle, and the thump of the loom will Jbo heard in full blast. Under the man agement selected to crontrol the opera tions of the Company, we think the ex periment of successfully manufacturing goods for market in Stroudsburg cannot but prove a complete success. We learn that the Masonic breth ren of Stroudsburg, are casting about with & view to the erection of a handsome Lodge building in the borough. The de sign embraces Stores on the ground floor, a .ball for lectures, meetings, and exhibitions on the second floor, a convenience lon needed here, and Lodge rooms on the third floor. If the brethren commence with the work, we may expect to see the erection of a building that will prove both a convenience and an ornament to iour "town. We have heard of several new brick aud frame buildings to be erected in Stroudsburg, during the coming sum mer. These are designed as icsideuces for "solid men' who have "made their pile" by intelligent cultivation of the soil and husbanding of means, and who now, in their affluence seek the pleasures and comforts of a home in our beautiful bor ough. We will notice these improve ments more particularly as they progress By the way would it aot be well for the "solid men" of the borough, who own va cant lots, and have means, to note the Bigns of the times, and pay heed to the great demand for neat aud substantial tenement houses. Reuts are looking up prodigiously, and tho demand for houses greatly in advance of the supply. If twenty new houses were completed to morrow they would not be a wck with out good tenants. .wMfri - ,. - The warm weather of Friday and Saturday last, and tho warm rain of the latter day, caused the snow to disappear from our neighborhood quite rapidly. The- consequence was that our streams rose nearly bank-full, and we had every premonition of a disastrous flood. Dur ing Saturday night, however, Old Boreas set his bellows to work with such good ef fect, that the rise of the waters were choked, and wc were probably saved a destruction similar to that of June 1863, if not worse. We did not, however, escape without damage. We have rumors of damage in several localities, but no data on which to base the amount of actuul loss. In Stroudsburg quite a number of cellars were filled with water, and the lot belong ing to Valentine Kautz, fronting on Ruff Street, was badly damaged by the washing of the hill-side, which carried stone, loom aud sand, with a perfect rush down upon the garden below. A hole in the hill-side, was here washed out large enough to hold a clever sized three story brick with backbuilding3 to boot. The nob road, near E. L. Wolf's residence was also badly washed, and our neighbor of the Democrat, at his office on Eliza both street, with all hands, was kept very busy for a time, placing paper, &c.. be yond reach of the rushing and destroying element. McMiciiaels, Pocono and Eiiodiiead's creeks were unusually for midable and turbulent, but nothing seri ous occurred along-cithcr in the immedi ate neighborhood of the borough. We would suggest, however, that the property holders along the McMiciieals, or the borough fathers, make a note of the hint giveu as to the safety of the warfage above the bulkhead of the mill pool, at the covered bridge. Rut little more rain would have been required to demouatrate most conclusively that that job is not fin ished. It should be built higher, and be extended father up the creek, to make it a thing to be depended upon. We throw this out as a hint, which wc. thiuk. the experience of Saturday night suggests should be. acted upon, unless we desire either greatly increased taxation to repair damage, or a crippled borough. An Interesting Meeting'. The Sundav School of the M. E. Church in our borough, held its missionajy anniver sary in .the Church, on Sunday afternoon last. The attendance was large, the school filling" the middle blocks of the pews, and the other seats being occupied by an intelli gent and deeply interested audience. Af ter singing an appropriate hymn, and prayer by the pastor of the Church, the annual re ports were read, and the several classes brought up their pecuniary offerings to the cause of Christian Missions amounting for the year to the sum of 142. John B. Storm, Esq., then made an interesting and insttuc tive address, giving many important facts with respect to the condition of the heathen world, and contrasting the superstitions of paganism, with the pure teachings of the Gospel. Mr. S. was heard- with close at tention hy the large audience, and was fol lowed by Rev. B. S. Everitt, of the Presby terian Church, who addressing especially his more youthful auditors, and taking for his text the letter S, showed that it stands for Silver, which belongs to God, and must be given to the Saviour, to send Salvation to perishing Sinners. We doubt not that the children will long remember his earnest and impressive words. Several appropriate pieces were sung during the exercises by the school, accompanied by sweet music from the organ, under the direction of Mr. J. A. Clements. The infant class also sang some pretty Irymns. The mis-ionary collections in the congre gation during the day were about $90 ; ma king in all over 230, as the contribution from Stroudsburg toward the million of dol lars appropriated to the Missionary cause by the M. E. Church for 18GG. l. TheBrethren of Fort Pcnn Lodge, I. 0. of 0. F. partook of a splendid sup per at the Washington Hotel, in this bor ough,on Thursday'evening last. The ta bles fairly groaned under the substantial aud luxuries provided by Mine Host Mil ler, for his guests ; and we may say, en passent, that the brethren did ample jus tice to the good things set before them. The voices of the participants were unan imously in praise of the efforts of Mine Host, and in expression of a perfect will mgncss to trust themselves in future to his providential care. Wc must say that we never sat down to a table more boun tifully provided or more perfectly prepar ed. The supper and everything connec ted with it passed off to the satisfaction of all who took part in it. Public School Examination. -The Board of School Directors Resolved that there be an examination of the public schools of the Borough, to he held in the A- cademy on Tuesday and Wednesday, March Gth and 7lh. and that the higher ifannrt. o ments be examined on Tuesday and the primary departments on Wednesday, and that the parents of the children and patrons of the school be invited to attend.

Mr. Editor: I find my article on this subject, passed round last week to our store keepers and shop-keepers, met with a very general concurrence. .So far so good. The next step after conviction is action. JT this article will prompt to action I shall net be under the nece.-sity of firing again, but if it does not I shall do just like Sammy. Sam my was his mother's own darling boy of sev en. She would not believe he would do anything naughty. But- one of Sammy's playmates got hurt and reported the "hurt" to Sammy's mother, and Sammy was called in. "Sammy, my boy, you didn't strike Johnny did you 7" "No, mother, but if he don't do as I want him I will crack him a gain." Sammy's -purpose was rather dictatorial and personal ; mine looks to the general in terest of all who buy and and all who sell in Stroudsburg. I admire the laste of that boarder who jequested his landlady to place the butter and the hair on separate plates. Just so Yankee notions and groceries, ofs ters.and eole-leather don't mix up well. Now, you men of business, walk up as well as talk up this matter and set your business and your business places in proper order. If every one waits to be last, or even second, there will be nothing done, and when Stroudsburg gets to be a great Town it will be a pretty jumble if not a perfect business Babel. A CUSTOMER. Stroudsburg, Feb. 27. Sauza. We have long supposed this celebrated drug, 'had come to be an ex ploded humbug, but we are assured by those skilled in the healing art, that not the Sarsaparilla itself is to be blamed for this conclusion, but the miserable worth less preparations of it that have been paimeu on upon tne community prepa tions which contain as much of its vir tues as they do of gold dust. It is a com mercial fact that almost all of the Sarsa parilla gathered in the world, is consum ed in the old countries of Europe, where the science of medicine, has reached its highest perfection, and where they know the best what to employ for the mastery of disease. Hence we are glad to fir that we are now to have a compound of this excellent alterative, which can be re lied on, and our community will not need be assured, that any thing Doct. Ayer makes, is worthy of their confidence. He has been for years engaged in eliminat ing this remedy (see adv'g cols.) design ing to make his " chef d' ouure" which should add the crowning glory to his al ready enviable reputation., American Celt, New York. Amended Revenue Law. An amended Revenue law has passed both branches of our State Legislature, by a unanimous vote, and if not already, will be approved by our Governor., there ia vciy little doubt. The first section levies a tax of one per centum on tho par value ot every share of bauk stock held in the State, whether the bank was charter ed by the United Statos or by Pennsyl vania. Tho tax is to be paid by the cashier to tho State Treasury on or before the first of July. The socond levies a tax of three fourths of ono per cent, on the gross income of every railroad, canal and transportation company incorporated under the laws oi this State, and not li able to tax upon incomo, payable upon the nrst days oi January and July, com mencing July, I860. The third section provides that the revenue raised from these sources shall he applied to the pay ment of the principal and interest of the war debt of the State. The fourth and last section exempts real estate from tax ation for State purposes, but.taxes already. du.. For The Jeffersonian. BROKEN POWER. BY A. B. BURRELL. The frigid rule of Winter long held sway, And, what with snow and hail and piercing winds, The fields, the woods, the river and the ' creeks, Were coaled over with an icy shield. Last night the soft south wind, in melting mood, Began, at 'first, with gentle breath to blow; And higher, through the night, its strength increased, And when the morning dawned, the rain set in, And soon the loosened torrents, each hill-side down, Infuriated rushed, and swelling still, Plunging and tumbling each ravine through, Lifting the ice-bound brooks, which, with their load, Hurried to empty in the river's swelling tide. Tho evening comes, and like a vanished view Of some great magic picture, or a dream, We look for the white armor of the morn To find it gone with naked fields instead ! The river, lifted by ten thousand streams, Swells up and up its banks; its freighted load, Cracking and crowding, pressing to be gone, Yet fettered still and choked ; filled to the brim With the accumulated mass and held ! Resistance fails! The mass majestic moves J To strike the first projecting point below ; And there, impelled by the o'erwhelming force Of all its power, like some grand army's strength All centred at a point, the frosted blocks Run up and up, o'erlapping higher, higher, Until you fancy a pure monument, By his, last throes, raised up to Winter's name ! Qn ! on ! the tumbling icebergs sweep along, Whilst with hoarse thugs they thump along tbe hhore ! The bank-bound trees bend to the chafing storm, Until before o'erpowering force they fall . The first rough shock, the bursted frenzy o'er; The coated banks, with channel smoothe be tween, The tumbling jar grows less and less, until The turbid waters spread the surface o'er, And the old Delaware flows free again. 'Tis morn again, the sun comes bright and warm, And nature waits the gentle touch of Spring. Del. Water Gap, Sunday morning, Feb. 25, 1SGG. Swindling Through the Postoffice. The Postoffice Department was com pelled, one day last week, to send back fourteen hundred letters to a swindler in New Jersey. The letters were estimated to coutain not less than 84,000, which had been drawn from foolish people in different parts of the couutry. Under a regulation of the Postoffice Department, when money is lraudlently obtained from people through the postoffice by rogues, who assume fictitious names, the letters are seized. The Mayors of New York and Brooklyn having complained to the department that a man m New Jersey was makiug use of the postoffice, a detec tive was sent to tho scene of operations, who seized these letters. They were for warded . here, and a number of them open cd, and nearly every one contained from three to five dollars, and some a still larger amount. Upon examiuing into the facts it was found that the person to whom the let ters were addressed was a real character that he had assumed a fictitious name and that no law or regulation of the Department would justify the detention of the letters. There was not the slight eat doubt as to the fraud, yet under the law it was considered impossible to con vict. The guilty person, when charged with fraud, claimed that at some time in the future he expected (which was true) that whoever answered his circulars with money took the risk ; and that nobody could assert that he did not intend to for ward the gifts promised. The Depart meut intends to call upon Congress for additional legislation to meet such cases of swindling. Industry of Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Board of Trade states that the yield of anthracite coal last year was 14,003,723 tous, against 12.688,412 iu 18G4. Of petroleum, it states, the yield was 1,943,364 bbls., or 87,450,380 gallons. The production of pig iron.was 559.870 tons. Aggregating the value of the three articles, coal at 17 per ton, oil at 45 cts per gallon, and metal at S50 per ton, we have lor them in rudest lorms- Coal, 598,019,061 Petroleum, 30,607,797 Pig Iron, 27,993'500 Total, 8156,007,358 Addiug to this the value of blooms and rolled iron, made iu the state, say 350,000 tons at 30 per ton, and the 12,166,722 gallons of oil refined in Pennsylvania, at au added value of 35 cts a gallon, and the above total grows to 8171,369,525. The important controversy between tho Pennsylvania-Railroad Compauy and the Atlantio and Great Western Railway has been decided against the latter, the Court granting an injunction denying the right of the Catawissa Railroad Com pany to make a lease with tho Atlantic and Great Western. The decision caus ed an immediate transfer of over four thousand shares of the Catawissa stock. The course which may be adopted by tho Atlaptie aud Great Western to overcome this obstacle to their proposed consolida tion will be. looked-td with much inter- ' Mr. Rogers of New-Jersey declared on Monday last, in tbe House that to prohibit the payment of the Rebel Debt "is the very emblem and quintessence of despotism and tyranny."

Several ex-Confederate millitaryand civil officers have been arrested lately by direction of the United States Court of this district. Colonel Jack Allen of salby county, Colonel John D. Morris of Hopkinsville, former pro visional treasurer of Kentucky, Mr. Lewis Garth, and the Messrs. Bell, arc among the most prominent citizens taken into cus tody. Those gentlemen were brought to this city by one of the United States marshals yesterday, and are now on parole. The charge of treason has been preferred against them, and it is undcr.-tood that they will be held to answer at the ensueing term of the court. Numerous other persons, whose names we did not near, were arrested at the same time and place as the above-named gentle men. Louisville Journal, Feb. 10. Terrible Calamity in Ohio. Twenty seven Children drowned. The Dayton (Ohio) Journal of the 9th reports that twenty-seven children were drowned in the reservoir at Celina on Wednesday. They were attending school in the 'vicinity of the reservior, and at noon all the scholars but two twenty-seven in number, went on the ice to slide, when it broke with them, the whole party drowning before help could reach them. A Large Hog. Mr. Ahrens, of this city, purchased of Pennock VV ay, of Chester county, a few days ago, a hog which weighed seven hnndrcd and twenty pounds gross, at fourteen dollars per hundred when dressed. It was one of the Chester-County whites, of immense pro portions, and so fat it could scarcely see or walk. Wilmington Republican. The Candle Fish. This is one of the most curious mem bers of the finny tribe. It is caught on the coast of British Columbia, where it is extremely common, aud proves very use ful to the natives. Some idea may be gleaned from the fact that the natives use it as a lamp, the light given being very considerable. The fish, when dried, has a piece of rush pith, or a strip from the inner bark of the cyprees tree, drawn through it, a long needle made of hard wood being used for the purpose ; it is then lighted, and burns steadily until consumed. Any one can read comforta bly by its light. Religious Intelligence Methodist. The City of Wiiliamsport, which is beautifully situated on the west brauch of the Susquehanna, and is noted lor its exten sive lumber interest and educational ad vantages, is just at present the scene of a most extensive religious influence.

This work is cnnSned to no par ticular class, as the "rich and the poor meet together in large numbers- Rents in New York city have risen to such an enormous pitch that citizens are dnveu into the country to reside. One owner of a store raised the rent for the next three years from $15,000 per ann. to 840,000. The merchants leasing refused to pay it, till finding they could get uo other place consented, but too late The store had been let to other parties at S50,000 per ann. and the old firm had to pay the new lessees $10,000 to buy them rv i ri r; AAA .i on, anu pay $?iou,uuu ior tnree years rent.

Reconstructed Rebels. At the post office at Gordonsville, Yir ginia, a well-dressed lady wanted the clerk to place a stamp on her letter, aud produced at the window a neat port- monnaie oi currency to pay tor the stamp saying with "honpst pride," that so far her hands had '-never been contaminated with tne lankee rags, anu she wasn t going to begin," Silly .as this is, it is one of the straws which show which way the wind is blowing. Destructive Eire in Philadelphia Sever al Lives Lost. Philadelphia, Monday, Feb. 26, 1866. A destructive fire occurred this even ing at Third above Race st. It origina ted iu Roberts's hardware store and com municated t Messrs. James, Kent, San tees & Co.'s extensive dry goods ware house. The uppor stories of the latter building were destroyod, and four fire men killed, and others reported killed or injured by tailing roof and sidewalls. Messrs. Santee & Co. were insured mostly in New-York and New-England companies. Edward O'Neill of Columbia Hose Company was killed, boing crushed by a falling wall.

A discharged soldier arrived in this city last week, having been five days imprisoned m a railroad car laden" with dressed hogs On Friday week he found himself in Chica go without means and very anxious to get to New York by the shortest possible route He was there informed that the car then la den with pork, of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad, would go the quickest and mc?t direct route thereto. Watching an opportunity, he slipped in and lay down among the dead animals; the door was lock ed, and he was thus imprisoned for five days as above stated, until the train arrived at Pittsburg, when he was found almost dead having no food except raw pork all that' time. Here the employees of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company made up a purge for him, and he got a free pass to Philadel phia, and from thence he reached this city. One foot was badly frozen from his lon- ex podure New York Sun. One day last week a young lady of Bo cyrus, Crawford county, Ohio, was skat ing on the river when an air-hole gener ously took her in, and supplied her, gra tis, with hydropathic treatment. Not daunted by one mishap she went hom, changed clothiug and returned to the ica when she met with a similar accident. A second time she returned to her paren tal residence, habilitated herself in dry garments, and tried it again. She had been on the ice but a few moments when she again went under, and this time came very near beiug drowned. Whether shs would have tried it again is not known In coming off tho ice she. fell, brcakiag her arm aud spraining her ankle. State Politics. Reading, Feb. 24.

The hog disease is prevailing to an a larming extent in the south-western part of Westmoreland county. Many farmeru have lost their entire stock. It was in troduced last fall, by a drove from the west passing through, many of them dy ing on the road. It is said that a tea spoonful of arsenic, given to the hog when the disease develops itself, is a sure rem edy. Maximilian Shinbone, who robbed the Walpole (N. U.)
