Smithy Esq., lias been op pointed Postmaster at New 31 1. Pleasant, in this count', to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Gerard L. Staples the late incumbent. The 4th of July, It gives us pleasure to believe, will be properly celebrated in this borough. The proceedings of the meeting, held with that object in view, ou Monday evening, show that the right men have the matter or the celebration in hand. We learn that parade, fire-works, and all the legiti mate attendants upon a rational and pat riotic celebration are contemplated in the programme 5S" The Soldiers' Convention held at Pittsburgh, Pa., on the 5th instant, was largely attended, and its proceedings were marked by theTitmost harmony and enthusiasm. llesolutious strongly en dorsing the nomination of General Geary were unanimously adopted, aud the spirit of the whole proceedings plainly manifest that the soldiers have no love for treason, and desire to have no complicity with traitors. We will publish the proceedings next week- Entered upon his Duties. T T TT a I T1 i i v 1 o papers in the Department at Washington u. jl'. uccncK. J!iS.. naviusr n cu ins has entered upon the duties of his office as Collector of the 11th District of Penn sylvania. We doubt not that he will make a very accommodating and efficient officer. Mr. Uctrick lias appointed Hen ry Shoemaker, Esq , Deputy Collector for Monroe county. This will give general satisfaction to the tax payers of this sec tion, whose experience in transacting bu siness with Mr. S., is of the most pleas ant character. Eevival of the Band. An effort, which promises to be sue ccssful, is now being made to resuscitate the defunct "Stroudsburg Cornet Baud." Liberal subscriptions for the purpose of purchasing new instruments, and repair ing old ones, have been made by our cit izens, and will, doubtless, continue to be made, until the Band with all its former excellence, is again a fixed institu tion of Stroudsburg. Edwin Bees, Esq.. .a superior musician, and whose four years experience as leader of the G7th Begi ment Band, eminently fits him for the po- j sition, is leader and teacher of the " Stroudsburg Cornet." Runaway. A horse belonging to Philip Shafer, and attached to a truck wagon, took it into his head to enjoy a free tramp, through our town on Monday last: He started from the Factory, and dashed up street at the top of his speed, to the scare of everybody. AtPauli's corner the wagon .hooked fast to a post, when the Jiorse, tearing loose, took a two-forty pace toward home. He was caught, how ever before leaving town, and soon re duced to a more sober style of conduct. Quite an excitement prevailed for a time on Main-street, but, we are happy to an nounce that nobody was hurt. JtJSSVSjhave heard of some twelve or fourtew'persons who were relieved of money,-watches and other valuables while at tending the circus on Tuesday last. The pick-pockcts plied their calling energeti cally and successfully. One man, we have been told, was relieved of 45, and the Oheveliers d' Industrie gathered quite a harvest of watches and money, in small sums. The circus company should see to it that its patrons are put on their guard against these hangers on of their estab lishment. It is best on going to these . traveling shows to carry no more money than is necessary to secure your entrance. The Phosnix. At a meeting of the Phoenix Fire Com pany, held at the Court-House, on Mon day evening last, the following named gentlemen, were elected officers for the ensuing year, viz. : President John N. Stokes. Vice-President M. Brown Postens. Secretary John B. Storm. Treasurer G. Sontheimer. Foreman of Engine George Neigh. Ast. " 11. E. J. Eilenberger - .Foreman of aldose James Ballentyne. Ast. "II. S. Wagner. The company already numbers about forty members, taken from among our most active young men. There are a number more who should, and doubtless will, join until the company is able to muster at least seventy members. Base Ball Club. 9 We arc pleased to be able to announce that a number of our active and stirring young men have formed themselves into a club for the purpose of enjoying the pleasure and reaping the benefit derived from the health-imparting game of base ball. . The name chosen is the lt Strouds burg Uasc Ball Club." The following named gentlemen have been elected offi cers for the ensuing year : President Dr. A. H. Davis. Vice-President David S. Lee. Secretary Dr. George W. Jackson. Treasurer J. Lantz. Directors 0. II. Drake, I. 15. Hull, J. A. Clements. We shall endeavor to attend the prac tisings of the club, and hope to be able to furnish our readers with weekly reports of the games. We also hope to be able soon to announce that the Stroudsburgers are prepared to have a friendly contest with their club brethren of other lopali tics. ST The parade of the circus compa ny, S. B. Howe's, through our streets on Tuesday formed the most brilliant pageant we have ever witnessed. It was well worth a journey of milc3 to see. The knights, were there in all their glory of banners, helmets, breastplates, gauntlets &c. ; the chariots where there loaded with the beauty of the arena; " the living Lion on the streets," perched on the top of a state ly car, attcuded by the intrepid Pierce, and surrounied by a bevy of beautiful and handsomely appareled ladies, and looking the very personification of majes ty and power, was there; the elfin chariot and the "ponies were there ; and, in short everything advertised to be there was there. In the arena, too, the per formance was excellent all, A, No. 1, and no mistake. Pierce's manoeuvres with his Lions were startling in the ex trcmc. The opinion of those in attend ance on the show was unanimous that, both "out side" and "inside," it was the best exhibition that ever visited this sec tion of country. US?"

On the strength of this they declare that "the soldiers arc oppos ing Geary." The real facts of the case are these. A meeting of soldiers was called at Carlisle to appoint delegates to the Pittsburg Soldiers' Convention, aud the Copperheads rallied their forces, in cluding all the deserters they could ob tain, and went into the meeting and broke it up. The "patriotism" of some of their help in the dirty work may be judged from the fact that while they were on their way to Carlisle in the cars they got into a fight with some of the other passengers by declaring that the Southern soldiers were much superior to the Northern ones, and that the South was right anyhow. Such fellows are pretty creatures to try to pass off as "soldiers supporting Cly mer." Such attempted frauds on the pub lic can never succeed. Pennsylvanian Wanted. The Cleveland JJcrald gives the follow ing, which we trust will reach the eye of some friend of the departed soldier refer red to. George Wilson, supposed to be a re sident)f Pennsylvania, was enlisted by Capt. William Kenny of Company B, 8th Ohio Infantry, in June, 18G1. Just before the battle of Gettysburg he gave the captain a check for 860. During that memorable engagement Wilson was killed. The captain, uow living in this city, has the check, aud says there is some back pay and bounty due the soldier. Wilson ouce informed a comrade, while on picket guard, that he was born in Penn sylvania ; that he had been absent from home over six years, and that Lis parents did not know anything relative to his whereabouts. Captain Kenny is desirous of sending the check to his friends if they can beMouud. Dr. Winship, of Boston, is how able to lift 3,000 lbs., and claims to be the stron gest mar? in tjie world. Wholesale Poisoning by lead. ' Some two months ago a strange and violent disease made its appcarauco in the Walkill Valley in the western part oi Orange county, which was a source oi great perplexity to tlie physicians and caused severe suffering to tlie persons ai flicted. At length the cause was discov ered. They were poisoued by carbonate of lead. They had partaken of bread made of flour from the mill of Thomas March, at Phillinsburir. He had men ded a millstone by filling up the chinks with lead, and used such quantities that the particles worn off by attrition had im pregnated the flour. Mr. M. was iguo rant of the poisonous properties of lead, and supposed that because lead in its me iallic form did not always cause injury, that it would not do so in any other lorm He was not aware that lead, after being subjected to the process of fermentation aud baking, was transioriueu Dy cucmicai action into carbonate of lead a deadly unison. All mav be thankful that the lead was taken into the system" in such large quantities,' for it was that which brought on severe vomitings, and caused the peisous affected to throw off very much of the poison before it had suffi cicut time to act with full and fatal effect 3Iarsh's flour had a good reputation and customers purchased it throughout a large scope of country. More than oOU persons were badly poisoned by using it, and two or three deaths have occurred, which arc directly traceable to the poi soucd flour. As soon as the terrible fact was discovoaed Mr. Marsh made every ef fort to call in the flour which had been "round on the stwie patched with lead and succeeded in getting Gi barrels These he sent to his agent at Middlctown with instructions to dispose of it to starch manufacturers in the city or New i ork Mr. Marsh is unable to state positively that the flour has been used for that pur pose, as it was sold at about 4 50 per barrel. It is possible that it may have been repacked, aud may be at this time selling for XXX Family Flour, and it is well for the Board of Health to make diligent inquiry into the facts of the case 1 here are now several cases of lead-poi senium iu New York, aud the afflicted persons aro known to have partaken o 1 this flour. The parties who have suffered from the poison arc prosecuting Marsh lor dama gcs. The suni3 claimed of him iu the various suits already brought amount to 12,000, aud more are constantly com iug in. He has worked hard and by economy aud good management made in 12 years about thirty thousand dollars having started with no other capital than his own industry. He is represented to be greatly agonized in" mind by this unfortunate event ; he scarcely sleeps or eats, and feels that he is a ruined man The lead-patched stone he took out and threw into the mill pond, as soon as tlie poison was traceded to the flour ground upon it. This was very indiscreet Auothe tiling winch looks strange, it not suspi cious, is, that none of his own family have been affected by eating bread made from flour said to have been taken at random from the mill. ' A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune from whose letters we derive the above facts, says that many of the persons poi soned will never retrain their health. Scores of men who a few weeks ago were in the full enjoyment of health and strength are ruined for life, and totter to and fro, their faces having the appear ance of dry parchment; their eyes sunk en and encircled by a dark ring; their lips blue, their muscles contrated, and their limbs distorted ; for them to move is intense pain ; relapse follows relapse till in time they must succumb to the ef fects of this fearful malady. Sussex Register. Jeff. Davis. Washington, June 11. Judge Underwood to-day refused to bail Jeff. Davis, and furnished his couu sel wjlh his reasons in writing. They were First, that Davis was not in his keeping, being a military prisoner ; and , second, that he was stiU charged with being implicated in the assassination con spiracy, and liable to trial for that crime. His counsel, after having had an inter view with the President, reft for New York, except O'Connor, who remains to confer with the President, and, if possi ble, get Davis turned over to Judge Un derwood's Court. It is said that a writ of habeas corpus will be applied for if the Presideut .refus es to accede to their demand. But it will probably not be done, as the writ of ha beas corpus is still suspended. It was upon hearing of the movements of O'Con nor, and Underwood's reply, that induc ed Governor Boutwell to introduce his resolution, that Davis should not be re leased while the charge of complicity in the assasination of President Lincoln, made by President Johnson, remained unrecalled. The cholera is craftily but surely steal ing into the country. A large number of fatal cases have occurred on board of the infected steamers in New York bay, and for want of quarantine accommoda tions the disease is very ha'rd to subdue. Two or three deaths from the cholera have taken place in New York City dur ing the last week. We may now take it for granted that before the summer .is o ver the plague will become generally dif fused over the country. The observance of cleanliness and sobriety js incumbent upon all who would keep themselves safe from the iufection. At Navasoto, Texas, there was recently a hail storm of uncommon severity. The hailstones averaged a half pound in weight and many were picked up the size of man's two fists. The roofings of houses were broken through, and the growing crop of cotton entirely destroyed. . ... ... o 1 1 1 i ' 1 ' In Utah, Judge Drake has denied the right of the Territorial Probate Courts to naturalize foreigners; and has himself re fused to 'naturalize foreigners who prac tice polygamy as being in violation of the act of Congress. THE HANGING OF PEOBST. ast Hours of the Condemned-A Quiet Execution. " We take the following graphic account of the execution of Probst, the murder er of the Dcering family, from the letter of the New-York Tribune's Philadelphia correspondent. The execution took place on Friday last. FROM THE DUNGEON TO THE GALLOWS. The Sheriff, the deputies, the jurors, and the District Attorney being assem bled iu the room adjoining the cast end of the wing, known as the- convict's side, as the clock struck 10 word was sent to the prisoner that the Sheriff was ready to - it i i execute the sentence ot the law. uuriuj the five minutes that elapsed various dc grees of nervousness were perceptible in all present but the oldest and most blaze of the correspondents and reporters. At 10:20 a. in. Mr. Charles Gilpin read to the-prisoner the death warrant of Gov Curtiu. At 10:27 Mr. Superintendent Perkins and Sheriff Howell, attended by one newspaper man only, proceeded to the nrisouer's cell. In three minutes they returned, bringing the prisoner with them. All that passed in those three minutes were the Sheriff's short address to Probst, as follows : " Antoinc Probst, I am come to inform you that, in accord ance with the law, I am ready to proceed with your execution. I am informed by your kind spiritual adviser that you are ready to meet it." Probst replied, "That is so." The Sheriff, the Superintendent the solitary newspaper man and the con demned then joined the deputies and ju rors who awaited them, aud the route to the scaffold commenced at 10:32 o'clock The route followed was not the usua oue. but along the north thoroughfare. At all previous executions the tolling o the prison-bell has given to this parade of death an exceeding mourufulness. Every knell spoke of sentence, aud exe cutiou, and judgment to come, and of : measureless eternity, bristling with new crime, perhaps, and full of unmitigated suffering. HOW THE MAN BORE HIMSELF. Meanwhile, how brave had the man borne himself? Was there any tremb ling of the limbs, any blanching of the face, or quivering of the lips : No. II walked stolidly, unflinchingly on. He was barefooted and in his shirt sleeves.- In his upraised hand, he bore a snial crucifix. His head was sleightly raised aud his eyes upturned. Such a face Anton Probst's could never have looked exalted, lleligion would have needed to take early possession of that soul to sub due its inate brutality, to throw over it the spiritual glow of love to God and love to man. But yesterday morning, he looked less capable of murder than he had looked at any time previously, and this is admitting a great deal, lhere was some thing of hope and "a touch of fear upon his face. Let others judge whether the fear was torpor, and the hope prcsump tion. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, but kept his eye raised above caucifix elapsed in untrembhug hands The siirht of the scaffold did not let him make a step falter; not a muscle failed not a nerve quivered. The sun shone full. upon his face and found it calm ; and he looned straight in the direction of the sun as though he loved the light and found it beautiful. He had been calm and cheerful all the day and night before why should he not remain calm and cheer ful even unto the end ? On Thursday night he slept well. That morning he had eaten a hearty breakfast only three hours ago, and had smiled mdiffercntly over the eggs and coffee and bread and butter provided from the Superintend cut's table. He had repeatedly expressed himself willing to undergo any Quantity of punishment, aye, even crucifixion. It was fit that he should die eight deaths he had said, since he had murdered eigh iritilf lrvc liumfin hoiticH. THE SHORTENING MOMENTS. At 10.-3J: the scaffold was reached. Sheriff Howell, Superintendent Perkins the Bev. Anthony Grundtner, and the Rev. Peter M. Carbon were all that as cended it besides the condemned. After a brief interview with Dr. Grundtner Probst looked down upou the people and said, in broken English, "God will for give me !" Then he knelt in prayer kissing the crucifix once on rising from this short intercession ; his legs were ob served to tremble very slightly, but the color of his face was uatural, and his lips quivered not a iot. Kneeling once more 'in company with Dr. Carbon, Probst beu his head attentively, while Dr. Grundtner read a prayer in German, the Sheriff an Mr. Perkins standing near the outer edges of the platform. Probst raised the cruci fix aloft with his left hand aud crossed himself with his right, Dr. Grundtner repeating upon him the sign of the cross and saying a few words to him in Ger man. Then Anton once more, and fo the last time rose and kissed the crucifix distinctly there. Dr. Grundtner and Dr Carbon then shook hands with him aud left him, and the spectators drew tha deep breath premonitory that the last moments of the man they watched had come. FINIS. The last lines in the last chapter ofhis dismal life were how being read by the straining eyes of the people below, and the full strength and glory of the sun had flushed Ins face, and still he never blanch ed. Every second now brought him nearer, by terrible and irrevocable strides to the unchangeable future which all men dread. He quailed not, though his hand were handcuffed behind him, though th rope begirt his neck, though ttie death cap was drawn dowrr over his face though left alone upon that spot of time with only au instant between him and God, the hext second ho would have mov ed to the soft whirr and rushing as the planks fell on which he stood. At 10:45 Dr Swauton reascended the steps of the lad der, aud stood there motionless for one little moment. Then he gave the single arm-waive which reached up to God th soul whose profundity we cannot iinder stand. The rope was puiieu, ine fell, and their soft whirr and- rush aieu into silence as they struck the padded sides. The body of Anton Probst drop ped with a single, heavy thug and remain ed perfectly still. In two minutes there are spasmodic tremblings in the legs; in thvee minutes slight quiverings m the sides aud oscillations of the body, in five minutes all is motionless forever, and humau retribution is- complete. Every thin" was conducted amid profound si lence. If Sheriff Howell desired quiet ness he secured it to profection. From tlin Winning to the end of the scene not a sound was heard lroin the tnrong or men. AFTER THE EXECUTION. At ten minutes after 11 o'clock the immediate witnesses u tuu .v" hastily left the jail yard, and then the nnnnle left out-bv Sheriff Howell obtain ed entrance to the prison through the kindness of such cosmopolitan and liberal snirits as Licuts. Fuller, Frank Hamp- ton, Iligh-Constable Ularue, and iveeper .. .. -.it 1 TT Money. The Sheriff has been extremely partic ular as to intruders, but his hospitalities in timer wlm nnfered were more devout tlinrlnv Ifavin?? Dulled the gal- lows cord with his own hand, he also tap ped the Bourbon, aud mauy good people who represented puonc interests, prepar ed themselves for the spectacle of the jail . i i yard, by fortifyiug their poor earthly car- cassos with iUouonganeia juices. Arrived at the angle of the jail yar.d, where Probst, in tight flannel shirt, coarse shoes, gray mixed pants, and a white death-cap, hung suspended, with his toe iust reaching the gallows hurdle, we all stood around the body, questioning ine . . . . . . . i German priest, and the earliest musketo of the season perched upon the criminal's face, while blue-bottle flics of ambitious proportions, were making themselves at home with ins sieeve anu suirt uuamu lie seemed to be a loosely-knit though heavy fellow, just the picture of a thous and Germans, who had enlisted in the U nion armies, and he swung so quietly and passively that it was hard to recognize in his boyish figure the deliberate murderer of a whole family ot pretty infants and unsuspecting country people. Directly he was cut down, and falling .... ..i n c t l f all in a heap, "a lump ot liesn, a cnaos oi cold clay," his carcass was placed upon the ancient hurdle, used commonly to wheel bread into the corridors. After it had proceeded a few yards the priest stop ped it, and proceded to read, alternately the burial services, the crucifix meantime being placed upon a coarse blanket, cov ering the whole stature ot the dead man Some of the people during this procedure stood uncovered, though the mass com pared the gameness of Probst's death with others they had witnessed, in opinion con eluding that he was simply a repeutan savage, who neither apprehended the en ormity of his offense nor the reality o repentance. When all had looked upon the corpse satisfyingly, it was wheeled to a little door beneath one ot the corridors, and while the prisoners with leprous fa ces pressed agamst tlie slim windows looked themselves purblind to see the re suit of death, a number of physicians con nected with the Jefferson Medical Col Icpc4. carried the bodv to a chair within - 7 m and proceeded to iustitutc a series of an atomics upon it. They first examined the retina with powerful leuses, worked by electric spark and then cut out the right eye with pin cers and forceps. After this they applied galvanic currents to the hps and temples and the man with the broken neck wen through the mockery of gaspiug, breath ing and trembling. This experiment was instituted by Dr. B. Howard Land, a ecl cbrated chemist in Philadelphia, and he watched it till sick at the stomach, and then gladly left the body of the murderer to avoid stifling in the dense air nauscat ing with the sickening details of the spec tacle.
