Messrs. Charles S. Detrick and Pe

our borough, after an absence of several
, years, have returned to Stroudsburg, and
established themselves in the Dru; and
Jewelry business. They have a very
cosey and well filled storeroom, and, we
have no doubt, will supply all who call
upon them, with articles of the bestqual
ity at reasonable prices. Mr. Detrick
being a practical Druggist and 3Ir. Wil

Any of our readers afflicted with Scro

well to read the remarks in our advertis

the nature of this disorder has beeu known

it there given, will prove acceptable and
useful. We have long admired the search

treats every subject he touches ; whatev

deal of it; he masters what he under

feeling for his afilicted fellow man, can

WHY IS IT?
We observe by the Scranton papers
that coal is advertised for sale in that
plane, delived at the residences of custo
mere, at 3.50 per ton for all sizes ez
.cept lump coal, which is 25 cents less.
'-Here at the Stroudsburg Depot, coal of a
-very inferior quality, is retailed at 86.45 per
ton for chestnut, aud other sizes still high
er. In addition to this the cutsomcr has
to pay 75 cents per ton for hauling. Ad
mitting that the coal merchants at Scran
ton are satisfied with the profits, which
.are "big," and should satisfy even the
cormorant maw of a corporation, we
have $2.95 as the profit on each ton of
coal sold athis depot, in addition to the
profit taxed at Scranton which abuntant
ly pays for transportation &c. But to thi
$2.05 should be added GO cents, the dif
ference allowed by the Scranton coal mer
chant between his delivering to his cus
"Joiner and the customer hauling for hitn-
Btsif. This would make the company prof
it here, or profits of company and agent
combined just $3.50 per ton. llow long,
oh gentlemen corporators and agents,
are our people to be made to suffer from
these approximative war prices ? Powder
is down, oil is down, and you have cut
the wages of labor down ; when in heav
en s name, are you coming down your
selves.

To thoSe who contemplate settling in
the West, the following brief letter from
a long time correspondent of the Jelter-
sonian, will be read with interest. The
list of lauds mentioned by him are in our
possession, and we will cheerfully show
them to any one desiring information on
the subject. The lands alluded to are of
the best possible quality for all farming
purposes; and the State being now a free
State, the intelligent Agriculturists can
not fail to suit himself perfectly iu the se
lection of a home, and a means of rapid
ly securing wealth. Before the war,
even with the incubus of slavery hanging
to its vitals, and with no present prospect
of facilities fo reach market, Northern
Missouri had become a favorite locality
with parties migrating to the West. Now
with the evils of the then situation chang
cd to good, this favoritism must increase,
and soon its rich lands will be in the hands
of the tillers of the soil; one cannot, there
fore, who designs changing his base in the
great battle of life, too soon visit the scc
. . "
tion of couutry mentioned below, and se
cure a home for himself and family.
Where there is a choice, one should al
ways secure the best, even if he have to
Uavel a little farther to do it. We would
advise all, therefore, goiug West not to
atop and anchor themselves until they
have thoroughly esamiucd the lands along
the flannibal and St. Joseph's Railroad

Dear Sir : I enclose you a list of

which will give you and j'our-fnonus an
idea of improved lands in Jackson Co.,

proved land, at prices from ST to $22 per

George Harris, the Lund Commission
er of the Road, will give all requisite in
formation at his ofnee in Hannibal, Mo.
I would recommend those wishiug home?
in free Mo. to give him a call. They will
find him not only a gentleman but an up
right business man. As I referred to this
matter before I would only say to my old
acquaintances in North-E.tstorn Peunsyl

of unsurpassed fertility in Northern Mis

and industrious hand to develop it and
bring out in fair relief its present hidden
and undeveloped resources.

Bounty Lands of Soldiers.
The Commissioner of the General Lan
Office has issued an announcement in re
ply to a large number of communication
from soldiers and others who served dur
in" the late war, statinir that there iu no
law granting lands or bounty land-war
rants to soldiers or sailors ermaced in the
late war against the rebellion. Th
Homestead Act, as amended March 21
1864, grants homesteads of one hundred
and sixty acres to soldiers, sailor and cit
hens who reside thereon for a period o
five years, at a cost of $10, and register
and receiver's fees. Soldiers and sailors
may file applications for a homestead
while still in the military service, and
the period thereafter in which they may
remain in service will be counted as a
portion of the five year's residence re
quired.
The Way to Select Flour.
An exchange says : Iu selecting flour
first look to the color. If it is white
with a yellowish, straw-colored tint, buy
it. If it is white, with a blueish cast, or
with white specks in it, refuse it. Sec
ond, examine its adhesiveness wet aud
knead a little of it between your fingers
if it works soft and sticky it is poor,
lhird, throw a little lump of dried flour
against a smooth surface, if it falls like
powder, it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some
of the flour tightly iu your hand; if it
retains me snape given by the pressure,
that, too, is a good shin. It is safe to
buy flour that will stand all these tests
These modes are given by all old flour
dealers, aud they pertain to a matter that
concerns every body the staff of life.

OBITUARY.
Gerard L. Staples, the subject ol
the following, was born at Delaware a-
tcr Gap, Nov. 18, 1825, and died a most
triumphant death, at Fork's Station, on
the mornin- of Anril 25. I860. That
flattering disease, consumption, had long
irivcn warning that its hold had fastened
itself upon him and marked him for its
prey. For the sake of his family and
friends he tried every available means to
delay the Destroyer, yet always ready and
willing to depart and be with Jesus.
The final day arrived, and like a man
about to set out on an earthly journey,
will a full expectation of seeiug his fami
ly again, with calmness and judgmeut he
began to arrange for his departure. There
was no fear, uo excitement, no c,omplain-
ug visible iu the preparation. That he
was going Home, there was not a shadow
of doubt on his mind. He had thrown
himself icliolly on the merits of an atonin
Savior, and though he alluded to a de
vious course in life with sorrow, yet tbi
was but momentary, and a sense of the
worthlessness of works wa3 swallowed up
and lost iu faith in an all-sufficient Re
dcemer, whilst peace and joy so lifted up
his countenance that their impress stil
remained after the vital spark had fled.
It was my privilege to be with Gerard
a few hours before he died, aud his case
added another evidence to ray miudof the
immortality of the soul. Not so much
from the earnest words he uttered as from
the kindlings of his eyes and countenance
could I see the burning life of the humor
tal flame which seemed glowiug with the
prospect of a quick exit from the earthly
tabernacle. So did the soul" rr.a'iu tain its
superiority over dissolving nature that the
.tongue, the voice, did its bidding up to
the very moment of dissolution. To tel
all bis advice to his friends, his wishes in
regard to the welfare of his family, his
quotations of Scripture, thchymns he sunt
during the last few hours of his life
would swell this paper beyond our pres
ent limits. lie died the death of the
riihtcoiis.
LrEitARD liatt a "oou heart and a jrooa
head. His talents were observable bval
who came near him, and Lis heart was
always open to help humanity. When a
mere boy he put on the armor of christi
auity and nobly he worked up to an ex
horter's privilege. From this point he
was urged to accept a preacher's liceuse
Here his diffidence over-powered him aud
his self-reliance failed. To rise before n
eonurenation embarrassed him and he
shrank back. Poor humanity, how easily
it is overcome some times. Again and
again he rallied but only to become dis
courared nixiinL There was assistance a
hand for him but a sinule mistake turned
him from a plain line of duty. It is tint
ural and right for man to distrust himself
but then should we pray and c?)L.di
vine assistance.
From this point Gerard's life was a
checkered scence. Has uot his history
beeu the history of many who like him
had uot followed their plain line of duty
He never threw his religion entirely away
but not following where the Savior led
he was not satisfied with himself or his
various employments. This unrest woub.
very naturally bring temptation stron
against him and the great wonder is that
he was not completely overcome.
But he is gone now. How he closed
up his preparation to go was truly won-
derlul. lie could not lie in bed but sat
in a chair for three or four days before
he died. After he had arranged almost
everything for his departure, even to
overlooking his letters, tearing some up
and giving directions as to others, and
but a few minutes before he died, he ask
ed to be laid on his bed. ne adjusted
himself, said, "Now I am going, I am al
most over," and fell asleep. The " pearly
gates," of which he had just been talking
had opened to receive him and the earth
ly casket awaited tlic grave. May a like
unshaken confidence iu a Savior's merits
bear us up when we come down to the
cold dividiug line betwixt life and death

Del. Water Gap, April 30, 18GG.
A New Orleans letter says : One thing
is quite observable at the Catholic chur
ches, which Protestans might well learn
everywhere, that all persons, rich and
poor, black and white, kneel together and
worship together in perfect equality.
True, there arc pews, and pews sold or
rented : but these pews, especially in the
old or French partof'the city, arc indiscrim
inately rented to black and white alike.
J. noticed in the old Catholic Church of
St. Louis, which confronts you as you
come up the river, some of the pew3 near
est 4lie altar occupied by colored people,
and others scattered about the church
without any effort to discriminate between
them and the whit?. The Catholic
maxim is, and a catholic one it is truly,
that "all are equal before Ood."
Honorary Members,
A clergyman says : "Two-thirds of
the members of my church arc honorary
members. They don't come to prayer
meeting; they don.'tattend Sunday-school;
they don't add to the church. They are
the passengers on the Gospel ship; they
bear no burdens ; add no strength. Their
names are on the books ; they arc honor
ary members."
Thft Rtate Banks.
It seems very probable that before long
the notes of the State Banks will go out
of circulation. The act of Congress ol
March 3 directs that they shall be taxed
ten per cent, if in circulation after the
first of Julv next. It is, therefore, ne
cessary that they should be redeemed be
fore that time, and the national Danhs,
which must suffer the tax it they Hold
the note at the'date mentioned, are re
lievin" themselves of their liability by
throwing out the btate bank notes, or by
receiving them at a small discount suf
ficient to pay for the cost of sending them
home for redemption. This action will
soon hurry them out of sight, and there
will be no currency in circuiauuu um
greenbacks and the notes of the national
banks.
