Under the head of Telegraph Notes,in Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer, we find the following : Benjamin Butts, proprietor, andF. Camp bell editor, of the Newark, (N. J.)

CSTFcix returns of the election in Ohio show that Allen, the old-fashioned Demo cratic candidate for Governor, has been elected by about 800 majority over Noyes. For the other State offices the Republican candidates are successful. The Legislature is Democratic, od will re-elect Thurman to the Senate. In Iowa the Republican ma jority on Governor is about 20,000, and th Legislature is controlled by the same party, 5iS The yellow fever continues to rage with great malignity at Memphis, Tennessee The average death rate is 25 per da'. Many of the people have fled from the city, and the population is reduced from 30,000 to 10,000. Great privation exists, but large sums of money have been collected and forwarded to relieve it. The heavy frost have not stopped the disease. At Shreve port it seems to be abating, possibly for want of material. The lever also prevails at Little Rock, Arkansas, Montgomery, Alabama and Bainbridge, Georgia, and fears are felt that it may become general through the South. Cheap 5Z arsis and IScef ! A couple of j'oung men came into town on last Friday, from Philadelphia, stating that they represented a house in said city, by the name of J. Vanders'ice, Nos. 214 and 217, i'Vont street. They stated that their house bad a large consignment of ham and dried lef just previous to the panic, which com pelled them to sell off their stock at reduced rates in order to meet the demands against their house. According!' they were offering their stock of ham at 10 cents and their smoked beef at 12 cents per pound. The price being so much below the regular market price of a good article, the most of! our wideawake provision dealers refused to ' V'Mrclvise, fearing that thcra must be some thing wrong with the beef and ham, not withstanding it appeared on examination to be ail right But we regret to learn that our friends, Wagner & Rhodes, S. Ovcrfield, J. J I. Conner, Stroud & Andre, of th"i3 borough, and Thomas Stem pie?, of East Stroudsburg, were deceived by thsir plausible statements and purchased, some of them, ham, and dried beef, to an extent which exceeds the de mands of the market to-day. We purchased one ham at IS cents per pound, of one of the above named parties, aud after eating of it at three meals, con- ciudea mat wnen we needed pnj'sio we would prefer having it in some other shape than smoked ham. Tt would appear that said ham and beef had been improperly cured and had in con sequence become tainted, but by being dipped in a solution of carbolic acid, and probably chloride of lime, and perhaps some other disinfectants, and wrapped in paper, the taint was entirely hid, so that no ordiuary test would reveal it, but in a day or two after being unwrapped and cut open. the taint very clearly manifested itself. We doubt not that this climp ham and beef can be purchased to-day considerably below cost In Wood's Household Magazine for No vember, the table of contents Feems spread for a Thanksgiving feast, and gives evidence that no efforts have been spared that could add to its excellence. "A sermon on a Skim mer," is not only pleasing in its quaintness, and originality, but. contains sound logic. 'Mrs. I'omeroy's Pin Money," is capital. "Upon the Stand," is another Kate W. Hamilton. "Codfish nnd Potatoes," by Eleanor Kirk, is a short serial which opens well. "Growing aged together," by the Rev. Robert Collyer, is well worth the price oftheyear's subscription; it is full of this great man's eloquence powerful in its very simplicity. There are many other interest ing articles had we space to mention them. The poetry in this number i3 unusually good. A new feature of the magazine is the intro duction of pictures, and the illustration, "past, present and future," here given, is exceedingly pretty. Price of magazine, one dollar per ycar- with the chromo "Yosemite," one dollar and a half. Address, Wood's Household Maga zine, Newburgh, N. Y. Stroudsburg Loan and Building As sociation.

Mr. Charles Hufford, of this borough, slaughtered a hog on Monday last, which weighed after being dressed, 370 pounds. Over five hundred neatly made up over coats, all colors, in store, and for sale cheap, at Frted's store, Main street, StroudsDurg.

Onf. day last week a rumor was afloat that our townsman, Daniel Tuttle,' was dead. Th rumor is false, and we are happy to state that Dan is still living, and enjoys excellent health. J ERF..

Na tional Bank, aged 17 years, accidentally shot himself on Wednesday night, 22d inst. dying instantly. He was in his bed room, and is supposed to have been examining or trying his revolver. The disgraceful conduct indulged in, by some young men of this borough, on the Sabbath, by collecting in large groupes. in sulting pedestrians, spitting tobacco juice, and throwing chestnut shells, over the pave ment, should be looked after by officer Keener. The Rev. Mo. Koiiler, on Sunday morning last, as we announced in last week's Jeffersonian, delivered an interesting ser mon in the German language, to a large audieuce, in the Lutheran church, this borough. It is the intention of the Pastor, to deliver monthly, sermons of this charac ter, for the benefit of our Germau friends. Gracious ! Fried intends soon to pay out Gold and Silver, in change, to all persons purchasing boots, shoes, clothing, &c, at his clothing house. Grand Serenade. Our enterprising young friend, Peter S. Williams, on the oc casion of his taking possession of his new aud uicely furnished house, in the capacity of husband, on last Hiursday evening, was vigorously serenaded by the Stroudsburg Firemen's Drum Corps. Peter recognized the compliment and came down liberally with a retainer, which sent the boys off in high glee. . 1 We arc glad to notice that our Methodist friends have finished a neat and substantial brick pavement in front of the M. E. Church. We would have been better pleased had they gcue to a little additional expense and pro cured fine four or five inch curbstone and put down flagstone of unform size, which would have better harmonized with the style of the Church, and prove to be cheaper in the end. Narrow Escape. Mr. William Schoch, on rnday last, while engaged in painting the roof oi 3Ir. Peter Zimmerman's house, near Buttermilk Fall's, Smithfkdd township, in this county, the shingles under his feet broke, precipitating him headlong to the eaves of the roof, where he struck iu the top of a small walnut tree, grappling with the limbs, partly turning, and landed upon the ground on his feet, without a scratch. Some provision should be made for the comfort of the young men who go to church on Sabbath evening, and wait outside until services are over to escort their girls home. These young men are generally of the more indigent class, whoso best clothes are well worn, and who feel a delicacy in exposing them to the strong light of the street lamps. Ihe evenings, furthermore are becoming cool, which add.? to the distress of such poor but pious gentlemen. . Albert Hawk, aged 16 years, of this county, was caught in a belting of a tannery a few days ago, and whirled about the shaft until he was crushed to a jelly and one of his legs completely severed from his body. The limb having been cut off, the body was thrown a considerable distance from the shaft. The father of the boy heard the noise of the fall, and on reaching the place of accident discovered one of the legs still revolving with lightning rapidity. We were down town the other night after eleven o'clock at T. Stones' shoemaker shop, and heard a certain party laying in a supply of coal from the Street Rail-way Co's. Yard. We would suggest that a watch be stationed at or near the coal yard with a gun, fully instructed to shoot lame, or worse, any scoun drel who might be caught so lost to a proper sense of his neighbors' riahta. . - Many citizens in town and county when driving through our streets seem to ignore the right ot pedestrians, ana drive as inougn .1 1 . rf . 1 . ll 1 1 pvprf rnt mush crlvn wav to them and look out for themselves.

Street Fight. On last Thursday night a fight occurred, near Hollinshead's Drug store, between Mit Huston and Dr. Or. W Jackson, when the latter attempted, to wind up the affair by stabbing his opponent with o Snrvonn'a Vnifi but fhrnnirh mistake stab- bed A. Stewart whom he mistook for said Huston.

Sale of Trotting Stock. The third annual sale at the stock farm of Mr. A. II. Taylor, Highland Mills, near Turner's sta tion, Orange count', N. Y., took place on the 16th inst. Over fifty lots were offered to the buyers, and the prices realized were very satisfactory. Archy Johnson, of New York, was the auctioneer. Among others sold we note the following : Kate Mann, brown,- 12 years old, pedigree not sure, said to be by American Star, dam Mambrino Chief; stinted to Florida, and foals in March; to . j. jirapnageu, r. ., iur i uv. Kate Mann, it will be remembered, was on our course, two years ago, at the County Fair, and through alleged partiality, was deprived of the first premium. William E Dean, formerly of Stroudsburg, but now of New York city, brought Kate Mann here on th.it. nrrnsinn. and in ronimon with manv nthprs. holiovpd himself bndlv used bv rre- judiced judges. Now is the time for all persons to pur chase a new suit of clothing, as Simon Fried has returned from the cities with a large invoice of goods at greatly reduced prices.

Preparation for a Resumption Of Specie Payments. Pursuant to the views regarding resump tion, expressed by the President and Secretary of the Treasury, recently, the Director of the Mint has been inakiug extensive arrangements for the coinage of both gold and silver to an extent here toforc unprecedented, so as to bo ready for the resumption of specie payments, there now being large quantities of these metals awaiting coinage. The Gist step i i . , . i ' in resumption has been taken, it having been ascertained from the Secretary of the Treasury that the government will pay out silver as soon as it can bo profitably and conveniently coined for that purpose. The number of battle flags of Penn sylvania regiments in the room at the State capital set apart for their exhibition and preservation is three hundred and thirteen. The ensigns are arranged in excellent order, so that they can all be conveniently inspected. The room iu which they are deposited is handsomely carpeted and well suited to the purpose for which it has been appropriated. Each flag will be labeled at the bottom of the staff to show what regiment carried it.

Ihe lies olutioos adopteJ are as follows Resolved, That the primary aim of the American Woman Suflrage Association is 'o secure th bsllot for woman ; while it includes, in its general aim, the establish mcnl ol' her caua,itJ of rights in all dircc (ions. Resolved, That one half of the adult population of the United States who are legally entitled to hold property, who are assessed for taxes aod punishable for crime, and whose interest in the Com monwealth is in no respect less than that of the other half, should not be deprived of an equal voice in the government Resolved, That a government of the people must be a government composed equally of men aod women, inasmuch as the equal cooperation of the sexes is es seotial alike to a happy home, a refined society, a Christian church and a Rcpub lican State Resolved, That our present political system is not fairly representative, even of men, being largely controlled in the primary meetings by rings of trading politicians iutent on private gain ; that political reform must enlist a more gen eral interest on the part of the people in the management of public business ; and lat this would be greatly promoted by combining the social sympathy and co i operation of women in the primary meet ings, at the polls, and in the hulls of 1c gislation.

Durin the past week Hudson River towns have teeu miesieu oy uanog thieves.

At the Uatskill races "amblers aod 'thieves ' were preseut iu force. The affair recounted dciow oc curred on Friday. Nearly four miles be It.w the village or Catskill, on tnewest bank of the Hudson, resides Abraham Post, a worthy, well to do farmer. At about 6:30 P. M. Mr. Fost, his wile and daughter, fthe latter about twenty two O .'V... , , J.!.' years of age,) hi. son JVJwara, ana ineir h rd man. an Irishman, were quieuy R.ipncr. when the door leadiu" from the main hall to the dinms: room oiUas abruptly pushed open and fix oien entered and rushed up to the table. Each one of the scoundrels drew a revolver and leveling the weapon at the head o! each member of the family warned all to keepouict or they would blow their brain out. While hve ol the robi-ers nciu me five inmates of the house quiet, the sixtl one drew four pair of new h uidcufls from uudcrneuth his coat and u regular orde snapped the bracelets upon every person I . . . . . rt'i at the table except the daughter, l ne latter showed no fear, but while the h:indrufiin was umirressin!; save the . r r- . thieves such a fever "talkinjr" to, finally, becoming exasperated, one of the robbers stepped up to her and paid "Well, you are so sassy 1 jruess we I handcufi you too,' and the icoundrel handcuffed the whole family together iucludin; a ciorea nin wno enicrcu mu i f i i - t i . j . i. room at the time. Not feeling perfectly safe, even then, the thieves procured u bedcord and firmly tied that around the entire family, and then one of them stood guard ovtr the captured ;roup while the others commenced to ransack the house They entered every room in the house except ODe, tore open bureau drawers, broke open trunks, and smashed locks on closets. The room which escaped them belonged to Edward Post, and iu that was a gold watch and a larj?e sum of money, which they did not get. They fi i . i . i . uiij liowever. irei iweive snver teaspoons marked o. Jj. l ., mx silver teaspoons, maiked J.

Kinir, nud iu lorsed ly tier to Abraham IVst, one check of SJ00 on the same bank, signed by Jacob Eurgct, and payable to Abraham Post, or bearer Fr over one hour the thieves re mained iu the house, stealing whatever they culJ lay their hands on iu the way of valuables. 1 lu'y even approachc their boud victims laughingly, and took rings from their fingers, and put them on their own. They al.so sat down to the .-upper table and ate all they wished to While they were eating, Edward Post endeavored to free himself. He told them he had seen two of them the day previous at the Catskill rnir. and one of them re plied : "Well, what of it ?" When they had got all they wanted, they bade the family goou nitric anu uenarrea. tor one hour afterward the imprisoned men and women tried to free themselves, and finally the son uid get loose, when he started for Catskill Village, and told the story. The Sheriff and others repaired to the scene as quickly as risihle. and with the proper keys succeeded in releasing all Immediately the sen ires of the telegraph wires were impressed, and a sfctement of the case was sent to all prominent points, together with an offer by Mr. Abraham Post of SI, 000 reward for the arrest of the rascals. Near the house a paper was found similar to those sold on the Cats kill F air Grounds by the gamblers and thieves who pretended to give greenkaek with every cake of soap sold. It i thought that the same gang robbed the Post houc. Perhaps no fair in the State had such an impudent hit of rascals at it as the Catkill Fair. They located thcii games at night right on the main street, and hundreds weie victimized. One "whsel of fortune" was fastened against a tree by the Presbyterian Church, and the congregation had to go around the crowd of roujhts to get into the church. None of Mr. Post's family were in jurcd. though the gang handled all roughly. Part of the same gang operated at the Amenia Fair last week. A year ago at the latter fair the receipts of the thieves who tended the "wheels of for tune," or who gave away the greenbacks, were larger than the receipts of the fair The greatest efforts are being made to bring the perpetrators of the Catskill out rage to justice, and promiment men who know the facts favor the making of an appeal to Gov. Dix to offer a largo reward in behalf of the State for their ap prehension. In Virginia City, Nev., according to the Territorial Enterprise of that town a gentleman has placed on each side of the gravelwalk leading from his front gate to his door a handsome iron fence, the top rail of which is made of gus pipe filled with small holes.
