rOR GOVERNOR,
Major General JOHN W. GEARY.
Or CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
In anticipation of receiving an extend
ed report of the proceedings of tlic Sab
Lath School Convention, held in thisbo
rough on Tuesday, from a fricud, we pre
pared nothing on the subject. We will
remedy our short-coming next week.
)i0, A lad named Howard Staples, son
of Mr. Daniel Staples, of this Borough,
was considerably cut and injured about
the head, by being thrown from a wagon
.1 few days ago. The little boy was soou
ground again, as lively as though nothing
bad happened.
EgL."Yc regretted to 1 CUT!) j OU Oii
last, that our friend Shumun "Wagner,
was, on
that
morning,
thrown from his
wagon, while loading goods at the Depot,
and badly injured in the back. He still
suffers from his hurt, but we hope soon
to hear of his complete recover'.
JPSBoys, both big and little, girls, dit
to, and ouraelf with the rest, get the
"dingbats" ready, for-the Circus is com
ing. jS'o humbug of a show this, but a
regular "out aud-outer the best one
that has visited this section of country in
a long while.
;3-0ur citizens were regaled on Tues
day morning last with the sight of a heavy
while frost we mean suchsof them as
got up early enough. Those who had
beans and corn above ground felt
rather streaked until the vigor of the
plants at mid day showed that they had
not been injured. We believe no serious
damages was done.
Confirmed.
!Ehe nomination of Josiah P'. Helriek.
Esq., editor of the Northampton Co.
Journal, at Easton, for the office of Col
lector of Internal Bevenue of the 11th
Collection District, was confirmed by the
Senate on Monday last. Sir. lie trick
takes the place of E. T. Foster, Esq.
AVe are glad that this streak of good luck
has fallen on our oid " Doss."
CSSGcn. Selfiidge, Assessor of this
the 11th District, arrived in town on Tues.
day. He left for his home in Bethlehem
yesterday. The General is one of those
fortunate specimens of the genus homo
who in every acquaintance secures a
friend. A number of our citizens made
use of the opportunity afforded by hi?
hort stay for the indulgence of a whole
aouled hand-shakinr.
AFineJrout.
Mr. John Selwood exhibited in our of-'.
ficea few days ago, a trout caught by him
inPocono creek, near Swartwood's miii.
which measucred fifteeu and a-httlf inches
long, three and a half inches across, and
eight around. It was a rouser, and
proved friend Selwood to be a prince of
skillful fisherman but then, he should
have caught more of the same kind so as
to have given us an opportunity of "sam
pling the quality of the goods "

CThe residence of Mr. Wesley Tan Ylict.
In Stroud township, together with its con
tents, was destroyed by fire on Wednes

i
Narrow Escape.
Theodore Burnett, sou of M. M. Bur
mett, Esq., of this place made a very
narrow escape with his life, on Saturday
morning last. It appears that he had
taken the place of a sick brother, who
-was employed on the gravel train on the
railroad, for a few days, and while attend
ing to his duties he fell under the train
which was in motion, and was dragged a
1 ,P- J-t t r i
aung ior some instance, lie . received a
severe bruise on the side of his head and
fliad three of his toes mashed by the
-wheel passing over them. Wc are pleas
ed to learn that he is rapidly recovering.
His coming out of the ordeal alive was al
most miraculous.
The neighboring villages of Scran
ton, Hyde Park, and Providence, and the
intervening "magnificent distances" of
streetlcss and houseless vacant ground,
have been incorporated into a city; where
at, Scrantonians rejoice, and all " the rest
of mankind" in Luzerne mourn. We
hope .the aeronautic calculations of our
neighbors over the "good time a coming,"
out of their elevation may not prove
''sweet to the mouth but bitter lo the
'jrtomaebs of the taxpayers." '
Mr. James II. McCarty advertises his
Cabinet-Ware Room in this week's paper.
No need now of going to "the city for ei
ther plain or fashionable furniture, as
Mr. McC. has every thiog on hand, in the
Cabinet-Ware line, for the inspection and
supply of customers, and will sell at less
prices than even the wholesale houses of
the cities. AVe know that the quality of
his ware, being made under his own su
pervision, will prove superior. Such an
establishment, where everything, from a
.Miiglc piece to a full suit of parlour, din
ing room or chamber furniture can be had
when wantod, has long been needed in
our borough and should be liberally en
oouragod.
Removed.
The office of the American Uniou Tel
egraph Company, in this Borough, has
been removed from Stokes' building, to
the Drug and Jewelry Store of Messrs.
Dctrick & Williams, on Maiu street, one
door above the Post-office. 3Ir. Peter S
Williams, is the operator in the uew lo
cation, and from his clever disposition
and gentlemanly characteristics, we ma'
promise a satisfactory administration of the
Company's affairs here, and the prompt
transaction of the busiuess entrusted to
the office. Mr. W. had considerable ex
perience as an operator on the old Easton,
Delvidere and Stroudsburg line.
JQ"Beadcr if you desire a good drink,
a pleasant drink, a wholesome drink, go
to the establishment of J. S. Williams
tO Co., secure a supply of their superior
Sarsaparilla Syrup, take it home, pour a
mall qualify into a tumbler, fill up with
cool, sparkling water, and you have a nec
tar to quaff which would have made old
Bacchus himself laugh. This syrup is
the pure article, uot the miserable effer
vessing compoun d of vitriol, marble dust,
molasses, wtntergrccn and water sold in
the saloons and hotels under the name of
sarsapariila, or, as some call it, "saxafa
rilla." To those, if there are any, who
object to the addition of water on account
of its being "too wet," we might say that
it dont make a bad addition to something
"dryer" cau tic vie, for instance. Land
lords and saloou keepers should make a
note of these facts. -
Corner-Stono Laying. t
The cornerstone of the new M. E.
Church, at Cheriy'Lane, on Tanuersvile
circuit, will bo laid on Tuesday afternoon,
the 22ud inst., at half-past one o'clock.
An address will be delivered ou the oc
casion, by the Rev. Dr. J. II. Alday,
with other interesting exercises. The
publie arc respectfully invited to attend.

The Massacre in Arizona.
A telegraphic despatch from San Fran
ciseo to the Associated Press states that
Fort Goodwin, in Arizona, has been cap
tured by two thousand Indians, and the
garrison, one hundred and twenty-five
men, massacred, with one exception ; al
so, that the fort was burned. M r. J. Bo.cs
Brown, who has just arrived in that citj',
direct from Colorado river, and who is
thoroughly Acquainted with the state of
affairs in Arizona, says tiiat it is scarcely
possible this report can be true.
Fort Goodwin is situated in a desert
tract of country about eighty miles from
iucson. x he commanding officer, Colo
iicl Bennett, of the California Yoluntecrs,
is one of the most efficient and cxperiened
j men in the country, and to .suppose he
would permit two thousand Apaches to
enter his stockade and massacre his com
mand is to indulge in a very improbable
supposition. Not more than one in twen
ty of these 'Indians is provided with fire
arms. How could they capture an armed
post of one hunored and twenty-five men .'
That there may have been some fighting,
is highly probable; but this extravagant
report needs confirmation before any cred
it can be attached to it.
The New Texas Constitution.
The new Texas. Constitution fixes the
Governor's term of office at four years in
stead of two, and the salary at 1,000 in-
. , re. nnn Tf .?l t :
to guarantee the bonds of
railroads for the purchase of iron.
The
article abolishing slavery savs :
"Africans and their decendanls shall
be protected in their righls of person and
property by appropriate legislation : they
shall have the right to contract and be
contracted with ; to sue and be sued: and
to acquire, hold and transmit property ;
and all criminal prosecutions for hke of
fenses against the white race, and they
shall be subject to like penalties.
The Constitution will be submitted to
the people for their acceptance or rejec
tion on the fourth Monday in June. It
will be observed that in its wording and
scope the Texas Constitution is nearly
identical with the Civil Rights Act
Military Departments.
Lieutcuaut-General Grant has instruc
ted military department commanders to
abolish the districts under their command
as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
Iu some cases i.e has recommended the
conversion of the district into a military
post. Every means which may consist
ently with the welfare of the country be
used to reduce the number of volunteers
yet in service has been adopted.
Sixteen thousand barrels of flour are
lying iu the warehouse of one mill at Min
neapolis, Minnesota, awaiting the opening
of navigation to be shipped east. Nearly
three million bushels of wheat arc in store
at point of debarkation oh rail and river
awaiting shipment, whjch does not in
clude the large amounts stjjj held by
fanners.
Jefferson Davis.
Baltimore, May 1 1. Yesterday, Jef
ferson Davis was indicted for treason a
gainst the United States, by the Grand Ju
ry in session at Norfolk, and the trial of
the prisoner, it is supposed will take place
in June.
Norfolk, Ya., May 11. Late yester
day afternoon the Grand Jury of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, in session here,
brought in a true bill against Jeff.. Davis
for treason, and adjourned until the first
Tuesday in June, to meet in Bichmond.
Judjre "Underwood went North last
night. lie has a copy of the bill of the
iudictment against Jeff. Davis with him
The Detroit papers say that a couple
of men from the neighboring State of
Wisconsin rccen tly arrived in Detroit for
the purpose of selling the citizens anti
cholera, small-pox and yellow fever
"soles. It seems that some sharp lan.-
kee has hit upon this device for turning
to pecuniary account the cholera panic
which is begiuning to be felt throughout
the country, and is manufacturing by the
thousand medicated shoe soles, by the
wearing of which he pretends cholera and
the other diseases mentioned may be ef
fectually warded off.
The Murderer Probst His Death War
rant Read to Him.
Philadelphia, May 9. The death' war
rant for the execution of Antoine Probst
on Friday, the 8th of June, was received
by the Sheriff this morning.
The Evening Telegraph says : The
prisoner received the announcement qui
etly, seemingly entirely unmoved, lie
had previously told his confessor that he
believed death was the only expiation for
Ins crimes, that he was willing to sutler
No person except his coufessor will be al
lowed to visit him. To day three years
ago Probst landed in this country.
Colleeting the Internal Revenue for the
South.
- The Internal Revenue Bureau, acting
under the general law, requires all citi-
zents of the fcouth to render income re
turns for the year 1SG4, as well as for
lSGo. Some of the ex-Rebel officers re
siding in Alexandria, Ya., are startled
by the call of the assessors upon them, to
furnish the required statements, and arc
surprised that rations received by them
in the Confederate army, arc estimated at
forty cents. One of them expressed his
readiness to pay his tax in Confederate
money, but this was, of course, refused.
Failure of a Philadelphia Banking.Firm.

Philadelphia, Monday, May 14, 18G6.
The failure of Work, McCouch & Co. ;

This failure has entailed heavy losses on
