that the peach crop of that State, this year,
will probably reach the enormous quantity

that the Hon. John De Young ha? consented
to allow his name to be used in connection
with the office of Associate Judge of 3Ionroe
county, at the ensuing election. During the
five years that the Judge has occupied a scat
uin the bench of our neighboring county
liis course has met the approval of all law
abiding and orderly citizens, and we wonder
not that they arc anxious that he should re

honor and dignity. There is no doubt of his
election should he remain a candidate.

A'arrcvv Ksca . On Thursday last,
as 3Ir. Philip Adler and liis brother, young
t'cntlemcu from Brooklyn, New York, visit
ing friends in thi.s place, was enjoying a
boat ride, on the jool of Wallace's. Mill-dam,
the boat got the better of them and took a
i-hccr towards the breast of the dam. Not
1-oing good sailors, and becoming scared with
idl, they lost control of the craft, and found
themselves threatened with shipwreck..
The brother, thinking discretion tlie better
part of valor, took to the water and managed
to wade to shore. Philip stuck to the boat,
and took a dancing ride over the dam. The
fall was some eight feet, and ere Philip
knew what he was about he found himself
floundering in very rough aud deep water,
and, being unable to swim, in danger of
drowning. But far the opportune arrival
.f assistance he would certainly have met
with a watery grave. lie made a very nar
row escape.

morning collided through the misplace

The accident for a time created tke raost
intense excitement both in New York and

Unlike most of the disasters, the real

apparent Six men have been killed,
two esvcrely and several slightly injured,
and hundreds of lives imperiled by the
criminal carelessness of a switch tender.

Ol'R SCR.IXTOX LETTER.
Scraxton J uly 9, 1 871 .
Friend Scnocri: I presume your readers
ha?e, ere thi, arrived at the conclusion that
your correspondent was either defahct, or else
the luxury of a " Rip Van
Winkle nap" inasmuch as your usual "Scran-
ton Letter" has failed to appear for a number
of week3. For their benefit, however, it might
be proper to state just here that "weetill live,"
and after a rather extensive tour, an account of
which we will furnish theni at some future
time, have returned to our U3ual avocation
considerably refreshed, both morally and
physically, and will endeavor in the future,
to give them the news each week, a3 usual.
The manner in which the 9Cth anniversary
of our nation's birthday was celebrated in this
city, was, indeed, commendable. Never before
in the history of Scranton has such a gigantic
demonstration been attempted, and our citizen?
are justified in feeling proud of the very; pre:
cisc manner in which the entire programme,
a3 pre-arranged, was carried out. The rcpone
of those who sought their couches on the even
ing of the 3d wa3 considerably disturbed, inas
much as there was an incessant cracking and
snapping of pistols and firecrackers, while the
lurid glare of bon-fires were to be seen in every
quarter, from sunset to sunrise. At sunrise a
salute of one hundred guns were fired, and we
were, in thunder tones, reminded of the fact
that the "glorious 4th" had again dawned up
on us. The day dawned rather unpropitious
the air being filled with heavy black clouds,
and seriously threatening a stormy day. Not
withstanding this fact, ho we ver,our rural friends
commenced gathering in large numbers at an
early hour, in their holiday attire, all, seeming
ly, determined to spend the day in a patriotic
manner. At 8 o'clock the societies commenced
forming upon different avenues, and promptly
at 9 the hour appointed Chief Marshal
De Lacey gave the order " forward march."
The scene upon Lackawanna avenue at this
time, beggars description it presenting a ier
fect sea of human beings from end to end.
The procession moved off in the following
order: Chief Marshal and aids, brass band, a
very handsome chariot arranged in the form
of a pyramid containing upwards of forty
young ladies, representing the different States
in the Union, presiding over which wa3 the
"Goddess of Libert y," and supported on each
corner by a Zouave. This was,without excep
tion, the main feature of the procession, and
attracted universal attention. Then came the
fire department, followed by the editors in a
barouche, and Typograplucal Union No. 112,
The typos really out-done themselves upon
this occasion, they having a printing ofiice in
full blast upon wheels. The first wagon v
tamed an editor and proof-reader seated at a
table busily engaged in their very arduous
duties of preparing manuscript for the two
"Knights of the stick and rnle" who were also
in the same wagon, and very busily engaged.
Two other wagons, contained each a fat Gor
don press in full blast the fust one printing
business cards which were distributed among
the crowd, while the second was engaged in
striking off copies of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Each of these wagons were drawn
by four horses. Next following these were
about forty printers on foot, their uniforms
consisting of red caps and im . arproprVate
badge. Then came the military and civic
societies, and the very grand display made by
the business men of our city the whole form
ing a procession nearly two miles in length.
fter parading through the principal part of the
city, the procession finally halted in the square
at the D. L. & W. R.R., where, after the read
ing of the Declaration of Independence, the
crowd dispersed, and all enjoyed themselves as
best they could until night-fall, when some
brilliant pyrotechnic displays were to take
place. Owing to the perfect torrents of rain
which fell in the evening, however, this part
of the programme was not so grand as was
anticipated, still, under the circumstances,
every one appeared satisfied with what they
had seen and heard. And thus ended the
proceedings of one of the grandest holiday
celebrations in this city.

Fifty feet of the botoui of the Wyom

level. The canal was constructed over
deserted chambers of a coal mine, and the
accident was caused by the falling in of
their roof. The water which washed

and had the disaster not occurred on a

MRS. FAIR'S CASK
The Murderess la Court Again-A-Re-'
spite; i ,
From Qte San Francixo Clror.irk, Ji:VS.
The case of Laura D. Fair, upon a" mo
tion for a new trial, came up iu the Fif
teenth District Court yesterday afternoon,
nr.nn further proofs and aEdavits than
those already presented. Mr. Cook took I
the - pround, and argued at some isngiu.
that the presence or the tieteuaant was
unnecessary, claiming that the statute
did not require it 31r. Campbell admit
ted that this might be true, Dut that mere
was a doubt, aud in a case of such import
ance as this he was inclined to have the
prisoner present whenever any important
sten was taken in this place, and that, as
in the preseut case, it would be no hard
ship. 3Ir. Cook replied that it would
not only be a hardship, but even cruel,
to subiect the prisoner to the ordeal o!
beio" bro'iht to the c)urt room aaJ tA-
eu back, followed Ly the cuiiuus crowd,
who constantly annoyed her.
The Court stated that if it could con-
ut its own fcclinirs in the matter he
would not order Mrs. Fair, to lo brought
from the j til, but as there was some doubt
ua t, thr? nronnetv of hearing the motion
in her absence lie thought it would b
safer to do so. An .crdcr wa3 therefore
entered requiring the deputy 'sheriff to
i-rim Mrs. l air to the court room. Al
ter a" recess, Deputy Sheriff Cough ar
rive! from, the jail, bringing with him
the prisoner, 3lrs. Lair, accompanied by
3Irs. Hale and Mra. Iliby. They rode
to the court room in a closely eurtained
carriage, the deputy jsheriff, occupying a
seat with the driver. But few persons
being aware cf the proceedings, only a
few witnessed the affair. The prisoner
was dressed in her customary suit of Hack,
and beyond a look of paleness, the uatural
result of close confinement, presented
about the same general appearance as on
the trial. During arguments she remain
ed veiled aud passive, making no demon
strations aud taking apparently but a
languid interest in the matter!
The affidavits presented in support of
the motion relate to the jurors Beach and
LittleSehi. A large number of them re
fer to Beach's expressions while he was
at Truckee, after the shooting of Crilteu
den. They tend to corroborate the af
SJavits already published in the "Chroni
cal." One of them, in reference to Little
field, alleges that he, in reply to a ques
tion whether Mrs. Fair ha 1 obtained a
new trial, said : "No, she has been sen
tenced to be hung ou the 28th of July,
d n her," aud expressed the wish that
she might suffer in hell two thousand
years. Judge Campbell and Klisha Cook
made lengthy arguments on the subjects,
and at their close the Court overruled the
motion, The prisoner, accompanied by
her friends, was taken to the jail. As
the Supreme Court will uot consider the
appeal until the October term, and the
prisoner is to be exeeuted on the 28th of
July, it wiI be necessary to obtain a re-
pite uutil after that time.
JERSEY LIGHTNING FLASHES.
Strange Phenomenon A Horse Surround
ed by Fire Narrow Escapg from Death.
Ou the morning of the 3d the inmates
of a house situated on the top of a hill,
known as the Park 1V u Property, were
suddenly staited from their sleep by a
loud crash, as if the bir.Iding. had been
shattered to its base. To their horror
and .amazemeut they saw the house sur
rounded by what appeared to them liquid
flame. Escape seemed impossible, and
the fright of the inmates was increased
by the noise of falling stones, and the
drift of burning ashes. Frantic rushes
were made to escape from the house, uu.
der the impression that it was burning
and would soon be a heap of ruins. When
the excitement was at its highest, how
ever, the body of flame was noticed to
move off in the direction of a wire, fence,
where it set fire to a large quilt and double
blanket. In paessiug across the inter
mediate space the flame struck a tree,
blasting it. Leaving the wire fence, to
the astonishment of the , beholders, who
were now somewhat recovered from their
fright, it travelled along the ground a re
gular pillar of fire, and, encountering a
huge oak tree on its passage, wreathed it
self around it in a thousand fantastic
shapes, completely stripping off the bark
and splitting in two the solid trunk.
When the first shock was felt the inni atcs
for a few secouds were completely paralyz
ed, and only roused from their prostration
by the dread ot a fiery death. As soon,
however, as it was discovered that" the
bouse was uot on fire, aud it became evi
dent that the phenomenon they had wit
nessed was entirely due to electrical dis
turbance, they became conscious of a cruel
burning sensation- in their frames and
severe palpitation of the heart.' It would
be impossible to describe the feeling of
acute sulienrjg which succeeded to the
first moments of terror. Stifi'mg hot air
filled the house, which seemed to burn
up the throat and nostrils when inhaled
and produce something of the effect of
the simoon iu the desert. Fortunately
the flame and heated air passed away in a
few minutes or the result might have been
fatal. Indeed, the people of the house,
who so miraculously escaped, attribute
their safety to the attraction of the wire
fence which goes all round the house and
had tho effect of turning off. a large vol
ume of the lightning flame in its advance
towards the house. As it was, where the
Same struck the piazza it passed quite
through, charring the timbers and tear
ing up the planks, which were scattered
to a uisrauce. ins nouse btauus in a
triangular location, and the distance irom
the back of the house to the oak treo up
on which the lightning flame expended
the lull force ot its fury is about one hun
dred feet. The galvanized wire fence
which encloses the grounds exhibits signs
of having been red hot, and in some places
completely burned away in the intense
heat of the lightning flame, lortunately
a heavy fall of rain came down immediate
ly after the pillar of flame had passed
and completely extinguished the iucirdent
fire iu the charred timbers.

The "Pain Killer" may justly be styled the
zroat medicine of the world, for there is no re
gion of the globe into wkieh it hns not- found
i:s. way, and been largely used ::id highly
prized. .Moreover, there is no claim to which
it has net proved to be well adapted fer the
cure of a. considerable variety of diseases; it is
a speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts,
brniics, wound and various ether injuries, as
well as for dysentery, diarrha a and bowel com
plaints generally, it is admirably suited for
every race of men on the face of the globe.
It is a very signili.-ent fact, that notwithstand
ing the long period of years that the "Pain
Killer" ha.i ! een before the world, it has never
lost one whit f its popularity, hut, on the
contrary, the call i";r it lias steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous tima
has the demand for it been so great, or the
quantity made been so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or
been more gene rally used by families and indi
viduals, than it has been here at home, where
it was iiret discovered aud introduced. That
the Pain Killer will continue to be, what we
have style l it tho great medicine of the world,
there cannot be the shadow of a doubt. Pro-vid?ne-3

his family. He died universally respected,
and his death spread a gloom over oui whole
community. Subsequently the deceased mar
ried Morris Smiley. She" has raised a family
of children who . are useful citizens.; As a
mother she had no superior; as a citizen
among us no one can leave our midst more
universally re-retted. For several months
fclio has been confined by sickness, which she
bore witliout a murmur, and with christian
fortitude; always willing to submit to the will
of her Heavenly Father in whom she put her
trusts. In her sickness she was constantly sur
rounded by a loving family, and a communi
ty of devoted friends, all trying to administer
to her comfort, and relieve her pains, but in
vain for her recovery. She has gone, may we
strive to travel the road to her Kedeemer.
The relatives and friends of the family are
requested to attend her funeral, tiih Thursday
morning, at 10 o'clock, at the house. Services
at the Mt-thodist Episcopal Church. Inter
ment at the Cemetery. . ;
