Silver Ore Found. The Plymouth Star says silver has been found in paying quantities, in Luzerne county, near Shick diinny. A ton of ore sent to the Philadel phia Mint, j-ielded fourteen hundred and forty one dollars and ninety-eight cents, which is considered very rich. A rovel Team. Owing to the preva lence ofthe Epi-ichat-yau-caU-enithe'yiessrs Palmers, appeared on the street?, on Tues day with an ox team hitched to their butcher's wagon. The team did not prove much for sjced, but it was a success for Mire. Its novelty made it quite an attrac tion, and drew forth many a hearty haw haw. Tlie Horse disease has made its appear ance in this place, as well as in other parts of Mouroe Count'. Palmer Bros, butchers, have six horses down with it, as are all the horses in Huntsman's livery stable, and the Horses belong to the Street Passenger Kail road Company. We have beard of a num ber of horses in the neighborhood and out in tli3 county that are suffering with it. We learn iroin the Milford Herald that on Tuesday 5th, in.st. an altercation arose in Milford, between John T. Cross, Sr., and several other persons, and that Hon. David A. Wells, when interposing ia the interest of peace, was attacked by Cross and stabbed with a large pocket knife. Fortunately the weapon struck a rib, aud Mr. Wells escaped with but little iujury. . Marlfn I,oftus, a fireman at No. S breaker ofthe Pennsylvania Coal Company's works, left home five weeks ago and has not been heard of since. He was forty-six years Id, five feet six inches in height, light com plexion, gray eyes, face slightly pock-marked, dark hair turning gray.

O'Brclii's Menagerie and Circus pas sed through this place on Saturday, with nearly all their horses more or less affected some suffering badly, others recovering and others just coming down with the disease. The Company, lor tins cause, were compelled to stop exhibiting. Their coming created quite a stir here, and led to some hard talk about driving them out of town Sec As the disease had arrived several days previous to their coming, and as it was the intention of the Company to pass along as apidly as possible, the blowing of the scared ones proved but a useless waste of wind. There have been no fatal cases of the disease hereabouts yet, unless the death of Aarou 11 Crooks horse a couple of weeks ago was one. Sad AffairFire and loss of life. On Saturday morning last, about 2 o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. Abraham lransue, of Smithfield, was destroyed by fire, and sad to relate, Mrs. Transue, his wife, was con sumed in the flames. It is not known how the fire originated, but supposed to be from ash thrown under the porch. At about 2 o'clock the family, consisting of Mr. Tran sue, his son, and daughter, were alarmed, and made their escape, on getting out the premises, discovered that the wife aud mother was still iu the house. Every effort was made to get her out of the 2d story window, but before they succeeded the floor gave away, and she perished in the flames. Mr. Transue is an old and much respected citizen of this county, his loss is heavy, but what were the goods and chattels in compar ison with the loss of the wife of his bosom in so terrible a manner. They have in their sad bereavement the sympathy ofthe whole community, T2se Stroudsburg Preachers Meeting inet in the M. E. Church, Monday afternoon Nov. 11, 1S72. The newly elected President Bev. F. M. Brady in the chair. Keligio services were conducted by Rev. G. W. F. Graff. The question for debate, viz : "I the probationcry term advantageous to the M. E. Church was taken up and discussed by Bevs. D. Young, F. M. Brady and G W. F. Graff. The resignation ofthe lately elected Treasurer Rev. J. Pastorfield was then handed in and accepted, when on motion Rev. D. Young was chosen to fill the vacancy. The chairman of the standing committee proposed for consideration next Monday the question : "Is the death cf the body a consequence of sin, or is it a natura event appertaining cf necessity to the human organism and a part of Gods original de sign." The doxology was sung and the benediction pronounced by Rev. 11. C. Wood A. Johnson, Sec'y. Railroad Accident. SEMER FREER, KILLED. On Wednesday of last week, as tho 5.30 o'clock P. M. train was passing through the Gap, Mr. Freer was walking on the track of the Del. Lack. & Western R.R. near his home, when, in consequence of tho heavy rain storm, and he with an umbrella over him, in some way mistook his distance from the Engine, which struck him and caused almost instant death. Mr. Freer had been at Stroudsburg the same day, and returning ahead of the train took the track. He had upon his person at the time about $400 in money. Mr. Freer was the proprie tor of the Cave at the Gap, and, since the summer season ended, has been engaged in building a large House, and otherwise pre paring for a large run of custom to his Cave, next Summer. He was an industrious, well disposed man, and his sudden death, has cast a gloom over many friends. Not having a personal acquaintance with Mr. rreer, we can but say to our readers, he was well thought of by all who knew him. He leaves a family wife and several children to mourn his sudden loss. He was about 50 years of age. Persona!. Win. E. Kicfer, Esq., left this place for runkhannock, on Thursday last. Mr. Kicf er designs entering into the Wagon-inaking business, and has decided to make that place h"i3 permanent home. William resided a- mong us for some six years, three years ol which time he held the office of Constable, with acceptance to the public. He is a per fect gentleman, an honest clever man, and a good Republican. There is general regret expressed hereabouts that we have lost so good a citizen. The Hon. Win. Davis, of this place, and the Hon. Henry S. Mott, of Pike, Delegates to the Reform Convention, left this place, on 3Iondaj', for Harrisburg, to take their seats in that bod'. Roth are honest, reliable and capable gentlemen, and though intipodes in politics, will make active aud efficient co workers in the matter of the reforms so much needed in the fundamental laws of the State. Robert W. Kciple and lady are visiting their friends, whose names are legion in this neighborhood. Robert proves to be the same genial, clever Rob of old. He has been a subscriber to the Jefferso nian ever since we have had charge of it, now some thirty-two years. He md his good la dy, were made one by the Rev. Mr. Scrib- rne., in thehouse now occupied by Judge M. II. Dreher. May he and his live to en joy many years of happiness yet to come. That phantom railroad train is revived on the New York Central. It makes its annual visitation, bearing" the remains of Liocoln7 with a band of black instru ments and skeleton players grinning cheerily, and an escort of soldiers, each leaning oq a coffin or carrying one ou his back. The night watchman at the cross ing says that if you will "come up io April" he will convince you.

The committee, com posed of practical mechanics and experts, after giving each machine a thorough ex amination, were constrained to say, that for excellence of workmanship, and durability the Wheeler and Wilson, was by far the best. It was evident to all that some of the agents had mistaken their proper location. The tJiwys they exhibited there would have had a better place, decidedly, among the agricultural implements. Sep. 20, '72 -4t. James Bows, Agent. The Next Congress. The eiact character of the next House of Representatives is yet undetermined, but it is evident that the Republicans will have a vary large preponderance. The latest returns indicate the election of about 200 Republicans, which leaves about 90 for the Democrats and "Lib erals." This will give the Administra tion a majority of over two thirds. In every State the Republicans have gained upon their etreugth in the present House ia some of them very largely. Among the members chosen are some very able men. Some of the most prominent Demo crats have been beaten, which is to be re gretted on same accounts. The Senate is also very largely Republican, and alto gether Congress is more fully io accord ancc with the Executive branch of the Government than it has been for some years past. Heating flues for warming chambers should be examined nightly before put ting children to bed or going there your self. Cases of suffocation anJ timely res cue have occurred already in different parts of the State ; one in York last Fri day night, where a number of persons were just delivered in lime to nrevent ser. ious consequences Watching and venti lation are the remedies and the preventa tives of such disasters.

English capital to the amount of S3,- 406,000 is invested in mining in this country. Boston has three churches, respectively 120, 140 and 150 years old, which have remained unaltered since they were built. A young man in Danville refuses to fulfil a marriage contract because he has discovered his gal smokes a pipe. A Republican at Sharon, Pa. won on the electiou 83,000 iu cash, eleven suits of clothes, and two hundred kegs of nails. Judge Ingraham, of New York, has decided that a person's watch is a neces sary article, which cannot be taken by his creditors.

' . r When a man cant't hit the ground with his hat more than once in nine times, he is supposed to be attacked with the "epizootic. The editor of the Salisbury ("Conn.") Neics is in luck.

A pair of twins were born on April 3d, 1871, another pair on December 8th, 1871, and triplets on Sep tember 8;h, 1872. All were boys. Mr. Murray Closson, of Gardiner, Me., writes in regard to the prevailing horse distemper, expressing the opinion that the feeding of so much corn to horses is the cause ofthe trouble, and that the heat eugendered in the blood by such food makes the animal keenly susccpti ble to atmospheric changes. A young lawyer of Savannah, Ga., late ly rode fifteen miles in the car3, walked three more, rode nineteen miles on horse back, examined seven witnesses, argued and won two cases, wrote a deed, and re turned to his home between the hours oT seven in the morning and half past four in the afternoon. A minister once told Wendell Phillips that if his business in life was to save tlie negroes he ought to go south where they were and doit. "That is worth thinking of," replied Phillips; and what is your business in life ?" "To save men from hell," replied the minister. "Then go there nnd attend to your business," replied Mr. Phillips. John Sullivan, proprietor of the Du shore hotel, iu Dushore, Sullivan county, planted, at the usual seeding time last spring, a single potato io his garden of ordinary soil.

Horace Greeley resumed the active management of the Tribune on Thursday last, his engagement in "another line of business" having then expired. In his card announcing the resumption he says that the Tribune is to be raatle a "thoroughly independent journal, treat ing all parties and political movements with fairness and candor." He will nav. er again be a candidate for pablio office dui, win aevote uimseir hereafter to the progress of science, industry and the use ful arts. In this field Mr. Greeley is unrivalled, and when he has once fairly re entered it the people of the country will soon forget that he ever was a Presi dential candidate. THE BOSTON EIRE ! Terrible Conflagration in Boston Tho Whole Business District Consumed A terrible fire broke out in the city of Boston, at the corner of Kingston and Summer streets, early on Saturday even ing. It rapidly extended in all directions, and by ten o'clock was found to be the most serious that had occurred for many years, it was m t lie miust ot tne iicavj dry-tioods stores ot the city aud the losses were already enormous By eleven o'clock the fire had traversed half a mile, and was spreading with frightful rapidity. Fire engines were sent from other cities. At midnight the large Cathedral was burn ing, vessels were on fire at the wharves, and the Hartford and Erie Railroad depot was consumed. The flames resisted all efforts to extinguish them, the eugiee and extinguishers brought into play be ing unavailing. At one o'clock on Sunday morning ali the splendid granite warehouses on Frauk lin and Wiuthrop Squares had been con sumed, with several of the newspaper offices. The fire then spread without check, until by four o'clock on Sunday morning almost the whole business por tion cf the city was burued. It was a complete parallel to the destruction oi Chicago a year ago. Firemen with their eugines rapid ly arrived from other citie3, but they were unequal to the work. A panic spread amotig the people, and many were ia such danger of their live3 that no effort was made to save propel ty. Daring the night it was determined to try to stop the fire by blowing up buildings iu its path, and toward morning this course had a good effect. At that time the fire exteuied over a space not less tbaiu 200 acres. It was not until afietuoon on Su&duv that the flames were got uudcr coutrol, and the full extent of the ruiu ascertain ed. The Mcrchaats- Exchaace and Post OEce rcere burned, but Faaeuil Hall was saved. The fire did not seriously iojure the part of the city occupied by dwellings, but the eoiaiuercial section is nearly des troyed. Almost every wholesale establish meat ia the city is gone. The loss is estimated at 830,000,000 to $00,000,000. and the insurance at 810,000,000 to S12, 000,000. Many persons were injured and several killed. Boston, Nov. 11. The nnmber cf firms and business houses burned out is Dine hundred and thirty ; the number of dwellings and lodging houses is sixfy. Boston to Dight prescaU the appearance of a city under martial law. About fifteen hundred infantry, including two colored detachments, four hundred cavalry and a battery of artillery patrol the streets. The sound of the drum the tramp of men, the clatter of sabres and horses-' hoofs are beard in every direction. A number of desperadoes seem to be overawed by the strong force of military. The burnt district is girdled with ropes, and a strong guard allows none to enter unless furnished with a special pass by the chief of police. The owl train from New York, due at 4 o'clock this moruing, arrived at 7 o'clock, with several car loads of roughs and thieves, who cleaned out all the refresh ment saloons cn route, with other rob beries and outrages. The military force in Boston will be increased if necessary. Only three out of tho seven banks burned out failed to settle at the clearing house to day, the three referred to beioj; unable to get at their vaults. They are the Shawmut, Firemen's and North America. The Mount Vernon, Hide and Leather and Everett Bauks saved most of their valuables. The fire is now confined to the ruins, and no fears are felt of a new outbreak. A despatch from Boston says three hun dred families are homeless. A large number of steamers continue te work, reliefs of firemen taking charge of them. James Tulley was arrested by a soldier early this morning while setting tire to a building on Milk street. At a meeting of the Citizens' Belief Committee, to day, Mayor Gaston read despatches from Governor Geary, ol Peuu sylvania, and the Mayers of Cincinnati. Chicago and other cities, teuderiug sympathy aud aid. Chicago, Nov. 11. At a meeting of citizens to day, presided over my Mayor Mcdill, short speeches of sympathy for the sufferers by the Boston fire wore made aud 8100,000 donated for their relief A committee was appointed to convey the money to Boston, and they will start this evening. WlLLIAMSl'ORT, Pa., Nov. 11. The Lycoming Insurance Company, of Peun sylvania, reports but S14.000 at risk in the burned district of Bostou. A very dangerous counterfeit fifty dol lar United States Treasury note is in oir culation in the west. When critically examined the engraving seems to ba as fine and accurate as tho genuine. The general appearance of the bill, however, is darker than the genuine ; the words "fifty Dollars," in the centre of tho bill have a blurred appearance when held at a distance. The naner. also, is stiffs and smoother, or rather oily as compared No wonder that horses die off with the new disease. How could animation be sustained in anything (even the uine lived cat) when confronted with names like the following, which are applied to the new horse "onpleasantness '(" They are almost hideous enough to frighten a canal boat: Epihippic, llippozymotic, Ilippozootic, Hippo Grippe, Catarrhal, fever, Typhoid Laryngitis, Luug fever, Hippo malaria, Epyzocty, Equine iuflu enza, Hippio distemper and E.juine ca tarrhal affection. THE HORSE DISTEMPER. xniaals Getting Better at Washington. Washington, Nov. 8. The weather is clear and coot here, and tlie horses be longing to all the street railroads are do ing well. There are but few, if any, real serious cases: If the horses continue to improve a few cars will be put oq iu the morning and evening to accommodate the workiugmcn. West Chester. Pa., Nov. 8 The epizootic is spreading very rapidly. It has reached the livery stables, and few horses arc now for hire. Some of our coal and lumber dealers are using oxeD, while others will suspend business for a few days. Reading, Pa., Nov. 8. The horse disease has made its appearance in this city. It commenced with a few cases in the beginning of the week, but rapidly spread until there are now over five hun dred cases in the city. A number of liv ery stables have been compelled to close. The disease exists in rather a mild form, and many of the first cases are recover ing. No deaths have occurred. Albany, Ga , Nov.' 8. The'horsc dig. ease has appeared.. It is confined to the livery stables at present. Two deaths have occurred. Chicago. Nov. 8. NctwithstnTvling the fine weather of yesterday, which con tinues to-d;iy, there are few horses oa the streets this morning. Many deaths oc curred yesterday, and it is believed that one hundred horses have died in the past two days. New York, Nov. 8. The horse dis ease has reached Cincinnati, and has com pletely stopped the cars in New Ilavca. Other places make the usual reports. Potts vi lee, Nov 11. The hore disease broke out in Pottsvii'c to day in the stable of the street passenger railway company, and all the cars were vuth'Jrawu from the different routes. The dicnd has also appeared in a autiber of private stables, and promises to intcrefere serious ly with coal trade of the region, should U extend to the mining districts, which is most likely will do. Savannah, Nov. II. Tlve horse disease is believed to have passed its worst stace here. It has caused less emburnsss merit here than elsewhere, as most of tho hauling is done by mules, which scetu to be less subject to- infection. Milwaukee, Nov. 11. The epidemic among the horses continues to spread rapidly. It is estiuiaH-d that five hun---dred eases are now iu the city. Some of the street cars arc already withdrawn, and it is probable all the cars will stop run ning to morrow. Oxen are being obatain ed by transit cosrauies and some whole sale merchants. THE RESULT AND THE FIGURES. It has been gcneralJy assumed that the result cf the eleeJionia October, in Penn sylvania, so clearly indicated what was to follow, that apathy in regard to the Pre sidential election spread over the cctr uiucity, and even aJfocted the Republi cans to stf"h a degree tht a great falifng off, even in their vote, was to Lc expected. But the result in Phila.iclphia ke nA sustain this supposition. Ths vote f' r Grant is only four hundred and twetify two short of the vote for II artranft showing a deficiency of about twenty lte publicau votes in each ward. Bat the Democratic subtraction is immense, show ing a falling off of twenty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-one votes in this city. It may be said that one half of the Democrats did not vote at all. Iu soe wards the defection was even greater For the first time in the political history of the city, every ward was Hcp::llie;tr. Even the Fourth Ward, formerly ctn.-ii!-ered good at any time for a Deuocratia majority of from one to two thousand, ac cording to the exigencies of the case, gave fifty-seven majority for Grant, omo of the other wards ran uj great majori ties, uotably, the Fifteenth, which is but seven votes short of three thousband ma jority, and the Nineteenth Ward, which gave a Republican preponderance of -J Li vofes. Taken all together, the city never gave such a majority for any party s is recorded of the vote ot Tuesday ; -J.VllG is so great a majority that it wti! le con sidered meu:or:ih!e, and an evidence of a condition of ffairs strange and uiihi iked for The folly of making uji:nn:itL"js for the great offices ofthe country hy ihs couleuted Reformers is shown by the late of the Temperance Electoral ticket Black and Besskll were uor.iinatcd for Prcsideut and Vice President by a re gular ualioua! convention brought to gether upon summons, and causing a con siderable expenditure of uiouy in order to perfect the ai i alignments. This or ganization, in a city capable of polhn:; more than 1 IS, 000 votC3, received exact ly 10 votes. It was more successful, how ever, thon the Labor Reform ticket, which had but one vote out ofthe great number cast at the election. It is strange that sensible men, as the movers iu ths? suit nominations claim to be, should allow their zeal to overcome their proudencc and judgment. Inquirer. An intense sensation was caused in New York ou Saturday night, by the murder of Thomas Donohue, a ward politi cian, by John Scauucll, also a politi cian. The murder took place in John son's pool room, corner of Twenty eighth street and Droadway, while pools were being sold ou the election. Tho !usi' sin's brother, Floreuee Seunuell, who w3 a candidate for Assistaut Ablertuau, was killed in a political brawl in November, 1870, aud Donohue was tried far the murder, but acquitted John Scaattll frequently threatened to avenge his broth er's murder, and once succeeded iu in flicting on Donohue what were believed to be fatal wounds, but from hU'h be recovered on Saturday night.
