Sljc Scffcrsoninn. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1873. BgL. The Daily Democrat, Scranton, Pa., has been discontinued. S James D. Centre, the eighth juror in the Stokes case, who was arrested on Saturday, has been released on $3,000 bail, JCST Personal. ltev. James Carr, of this borough, is lying ill with consumption at the residence of his father-in-law, Mr, Artemua Miller, at Dunmore, Luzerne county, Pa. 5-John C. Heenan, the pugilist, died of consumption, October 25th, near Rawlins station, Wyoming Territory. He was on his way to California for the benefit of his health. 5 Of the one hundred and sixty-four country banks in Massachusetts, only nine suspended currency payment during the late panic, and these only temporarily. All have since resumed. This speaks well for the financial strength of that State. A band of Ku-kluxcrs, of the Twelfth ward, Scranton, on Sunday night, 26th ulu, attacked Alderman Kelly's resi dence. The ballot boxes - were stolen and destroyed. Pistols were fired and the Alder man's life threatened. No arrests made. A bright place, that. IqS Among the elections held last month r.o attention has been -given to Nebraska. The election in that State was for local offices merely, but the Republicans have swept the State, carrying several counties that were heretofore Democratic, and losiug none of their own. New Paper. We are in receipt of the first number of a new monthly paper published at Reading, Penn'a, entitled "Monthly Mystic Visitor," which is the "official organ of The Ancient Order Knights of The Mystic Chain." This number comes to us iu neat dress, and full of interesting matter, pertaining to order whose interests it advocates. It is published by Da v. A. Shiffert. May it succeed. 53"" The crisis in commercial circles still continues in the large cities, and especially among heavy manufacturers. It is hard to pee when or where it is to end, but it is to be hoped that things will soon begin to right themselves. All hands should begin to cut oif all unnecessary expenditures as a prudent precaution, for the crisis will doubtless con tinue until all things pertaining to stocks and commerce decline to their proper level. These matters have been overdone, and can only be cured by severe bleeding. CS?" There is one financial machine that lias not fur a single moment been disturbed by the panic and crash in money affairs. That is the money-order system of the Post office Department. Business was continued without the slightest derangement, remit tances could be made to any point and to jtny reasonable amount, and no difference was made m the rate of exchange. It has proved itself a most efficient institution, and will now be more highly valued than ever. It is the best way yet invented for the safe transmission of small sums such as news paper bills and the like. 53- A contested election case for the cfSee of Prothonotary in Luzerne county, is to be heard in the courts, Dr. Trimmer, the defeated Democratic candidate, not being tatisfied with the result of the ballot-box. The Scranton Republican, commenting on this proposed contest, puts the following tignificant question to the contestant, from which it can be inftrred how anxious he is to have the office : "Did you not, Dr. Trimmer, on Thursday night after the election go into the Third ward of this city, and approach an election officer there with a bribe of one thousand dollars to induce him to make a false return of the election, giving you 325 majority when you knew tnat Lol. iJarbcr hai received a majority of the votes cast for Prothonotary Trimmer may possibly become the de fendant in a suit involving criminal charges and a chance for a short term in the county jaiL Improvement. The Towu Council are now very busily engaged in widening and grading Main street, commencing at Bald win's hotel, and ending at Robert Bov'b fetore. This improvement was very mu;h needed, and we hope to see the widening and grading on said street finished up in full to Charles Palmer's residence, this fal yet. It will only take a few dollars more, and the public requirement demands that it should be done now. The borough can just as well afford to finish up the job at once, as to deter the remainder until next Spring or Fall. It will not make our taxes a cent higher, and besides this it gives the indigent tax-payers an opportunity to work out their taxes. Let the improvement go on to com pletion now. An old nuisance just beginning to mani fest itself on our streets coal cshes and oyster shells. Where are our city fathers? They have promised that this nuisance should sot be allowed to- go unpunished this fall and winter. What are they going to do about it? Let the Constable serve notices on all persons guilty of this offence to cease the commission of this aBaoyance and nuis ance at oacer and then in case of refusal to observe the letter and spirit of the notice, let the Constable commence to arrest and let tie Burgess or Justice of the Peace impose the fine at or.ee, end then, ad not till then, k will be brought to an end. i Tut holiday season is fast approaching.

The Scranton City Journal, fays one hun dred and fifty thousand heads of cabbage were sold in that city during the past month Last Friday morning a week, the 24th ult, was the first geuerally killing frost of the year, which marks this year unusually favorable to vegetation. " 4 Millard Evans, of this borough, left on Monday last for New Orleans, to take a poii tion in the office of the Southern Express Company, at that place. , . The run upon the Clothing House of Simon Fried, for boots, shoes, shirts, under clothing, collars, neckties, trunks, &c., for several days has been immense. The reason is that Simon sells cheap. We have been requested to announce that all the merchants in Stroudsburg, have agreed to close their places of business on Thanksgiving day, with one solitary excep- exception. Heavy Weights. Charles Foulke, an extra fanner, of Stroud township, raised a head of cabbage this year which weighed 25 J pounds; and one of his turnips weighed 9 i pounds. Who can beat this? Going West. Peter W. Van Buskirk, of East Stroudsburg, we learn, intends to start for Laramie, Wyoming Territory, on Monday, 17th inst., with the intention of making that his permanent place of resi dence. An exchange says chestnuts can be pre served any length of time by simply putting them in a bag or box and sprinkling com mon salt among them.

On Wednesday night, 5th inst., between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, our attention was called to smoke Issuing from the door, at Fiied's Clothing House, Main street, this borough. Upon rushing to the place, and opening the door, we seen Simon and his right-hand man Dorey, tearing off, throwiug in the stove, and burn ing up all the old price lists marked upon clothing, boots, shoes, underclothing, &c, and re-marking all goods at such prices as to astonish the natives.

We understand that the lecture delivered in Williams' Hall, on last Friday evening, by William Connard, of East Stroudsburg, on "Santo Domingo," was both interesting and instructive, and well delivered. The business men of St Louis have be come convinced that the true way to neu tralize or destroy the bad effects of the panic is to advertise liberally iu the newspapers of well established influence and circulation. What ssy you, merchants and business men of Stroudsburg and vicinity? On Tuesday last, on oath of Hiram Carey, Officer Keener, with a warrant, proceeded to Charles Henry's stone quarry in Para dise township, this count', aud arrested Peter O'Haro and James Sheridan, on charge of threats of violence and malicious mischief.

Laws allowing married women to trnde upon their own account, and making them and their separate estate liable for the debts of the business, are, and must coo tinue to be, the source of a good deal of litigation. In Bangor, Me , the wife be ing in the millinery business, she and her husband were 6ued for goods charged and billed to the wife alone. The court 1.1 cnareeu inai prima facte she alone was liable. But if the husbaud had a joint interest in the business, not merely an in terest as a husband, but over and above that as a partner, or so held himself out then he was liable; otherwise not. The jury found that the husbaud "never promised." A very remarkable Russian has just arrived in Tans, brought by the director of a theater at bt. Petersburg. His head is that of a Scotch terrier, with a regular snout, long silky hair and peudant ears As to the rest of the body it is that of an ordinary man. The voice is perfectly human : he converses well, and is not devoid of intelligence. The monster is married and has a child, which he has brought with him, afflicted with the same deformity, though in a rather less marked manner. The faee is more natural, the hair is scanty aud the ears are shorter than those of the father. These two phe nomena were discovered in the environs of Nijut-Novgorod. The Postmaster General has decided that the prepayment of postage on letters or JtngUnd and Germany is optional. and letters, whether prepaid or not, should be forwarded. . Great Haul of Counterfeiters. Addititiottsl particulars of the raid up on the coutilrr fellers in Tennessee and North Carolina have been received. The cruaado wm I ho most extended, strategic and well directed ever organized, and re Milted in the arrest of about sixty out laws, with quite a number yet to be heard from. 1 ho desperadoes, belong id the main, to the counterfeiting fraternity, who nrc bauded together by fearful oaths ii ud deadly ties known only to themselves. and they have spread broadcast their bo gus issues to such an extent as to vitiate the geuuloc circulating medium nearly one third, and in some instances to well nigh bankrupt smaller merchants sod tradespeople. After consultation by the authorities at Washington, it was deter mined to place the whole matter in the hands of Colonol Whitely, Chief of the United States Secret Service Corps, by whiom. the assistance of Attorney Gen eral Williams, plans were matured to en trap and capture the guilty parties. Whitley selected from his corps a num bcr of the most experienced officers. The - - i seeret service officers obtained the con fideuce of the couatcrfeiters, and they communicated their doings to the district attorney at Kooxville, Tenu , and Ash ville, N. C The officers became aware of the secret organization of counterfeiters into district and secarate gangs, all of them co operating and working together each gang numbering Irom five to eight members, reckless, determined, and thoroughly armed. Each gang were fully aware of th a movements ot the others, and were in communication such as to enable them to summon aid at shot, notice. Becoming communicative the counterfeiters tol where the illicit money wa3 made. It came direct from Ohio, and was in de nominations of fifty cents fractional cur rency, ten dollar national bank notes, and fifty dollar Unired .States legal tenders o the series of lbuy. It was transported into Tennessee and North Carolina the same as any other commodity, by whole sale jobbers and dealers, with regularity aud precision, and supplied to customers and friends in sums to suit, according to the demands ot trade. In addition to the currency trade there was also exten sive dealings in counterfeit dollars, which were principally put off on travelers and emigrants going to lexas and the fur West. This money was manufactured in Ken tucky, and the transactions at both end in the money were enormous. The crimi nals include men in every station in lite lawyers, doctors, justices of the peace post masters, United States Deputy Mar shals, clerks of courts and numerous mer chants. Sufficient evidence as to the gulii of the parties having beeu obtained to justify action on the part of the Govern ment officers, warrants of arrest to the number of nioety were issued by the United States District Attorneys in East Tennessee aud West North Carolina. Ex peditions were organized of mounted men armed and equipp"d, and started. The territory embraced an area of 125 miles long and 57 broad. The ground in North Carolina embraced an area of six hundred square miles. The programme was ad mirably carried out. It is estimated that about seventy five arrests iu all will be made. A CHAPTER ON HOPS. The hop harvest is now over. The yield thoroughout the country is reported to be considerably below the average The hihtory of this plant, which enters so largely into the composition of a widely used beverage, is quite interesting. Ii appears to have been employed in the breweries of the Netherlands as early as the beginning or the fourteenth century and it is supposed that the cultivated plant was first introduced into England from which we received it from Flandcr? shortly after that period. In the reign of Henry v I. the planting of hops wa forbidden, and Henry VIII. forbade brewerB to put hops and sulphur into ale During the reign of Edward VI. the royal and national taste seems to have undergone considerable change, forspccial privileges were then granted the hop grounds. In the reign of James I. the plant was not sufficiently cultivated in England for the consumption, and there is a statue of 1608 against the itn porta tion of Spault hops. The Reformation, however, marks the epoch when the cultivation of hops be came first a subject of general interest ; so great indeed was the attraction of this introduction that the poets of the are were excited to render the fact immortal in their verses. In a work published in 1G75, called "The Epitome of the Art of Husbandry," the author says, in his description planting hops: "Hops are grown national commodity. iut it was not many years since the famous city of London petitioned the parliament of England against two nuisances, or offensive com mod ities, likely to come into great use and esteem ; that was New Castle coal, in regard of their stench, &c , and hops, in regard that they would spoil the taste ol dnuk and endanger the people s healths aud for some other reasons I do not well I T .i rememoer. uut petition thoy did to suppress them, and had the Parliament been no wiser than they, we had been in a measure pined, and in a great measure starved." From this time the growiog of bop8seenj8 to have gradually extended to Worcester, Mid aud Weald of Kent, East Sussex, and other favored districts : the cultivation ereatlv increasing the value of the land, the profits of the farmer, and the earnings of the laborer aud his family. A Columbia man, in a panicky condi tion, recently withdrew his deposit of SI. 000 from the bank up there, and was paid in a single bill- lie has had sixty drinks, and tendered that bill in payment, and it isn't changed yet. He thinks he is good for his drams all winter without pay, if the currency panic continues ; and he would be happy if ha didn t have to it up all night with a shot gun and a bull dog watching his greonback. Constitutional. The Convention which has beeu sit ting since last November has finally com pleted its work, ice proceeuiug were mostly confined to revising and digesting what had been done in Iragmenis. i artiste in relation to county government was finally passed. On Tuesday tne schedule" was amended so as to provide that the nresent Governor and his succes sor shall serve three years each, in 1878 the term will be increased to four years. Fifty Senatorial districts are to be formed by the next Legislature, in all of which elec tioosareto beheld in the fall of 1874 Those from even numbered districts are to serve for two years, and those from odd niimhsrAH dmtnets. four rears, lnis Will vacate the seats held by the Senators elect ed iu 1872 and 1873 The Governor may tl, Scnntf in extra session if he thinks necessary. Oa Thursday a resolu tion ordering the election upon the accept ante of the new Constitution to be held on the third Tuesday (the lGth) of De cember was adopted. An active deba.e arose on the question of submitting the Constitution as a whole or in separate parts, but the Convention decided by a large majority that it should be voted udou altogether It was directed that the Secretary of State should furnish proper tickets for the election, to be dis ttibutcd through the County Comruis sioners A resolution was passed oil Fri day requiring the publication of 21,000 copies of the revised Constitution in pain ohlet form, to be distributed by the de legates. The election will be held by the usual boards. On Saturday the Coqveo tion finished its work on the "schedule.' and casaed it finally. An unsuccessful attempt ws made to have two Supreme Judges elected when the Constitution is voted upon in December. It was re solved that a sufficient number of copies of the new instrument be printed in sheet form by the State printer to supply the newspapers of the State earh with a quaoity equal to its circulation, for dis tribution as a supplement t subscribers This is a clumpy way of effecting the de sired object. The Conveution closed its sittings on Tuesday last. Young Mechanics. There is no class of the community up on whom the futuie welfare of the couu try more esscntinlly depends, than uj.-oa the rising generation of voun mechanics If they are intelligent, sober, industrious and consequently independent, able and accustomed to judge for themselves, and governed in their conduct by an enlight eued view of their own best interests; il they are men of this sort, the mechanics, will form, in conjunction with the youu farmers of the country, a bulwark against monopolies and corrupt politicians, and save the republic If, on the other haud, they are ignorant, idle, dissolute, aud con sequently poor, and dependent upon those who are willing to trust them if our mechanic- should unhappily hccon.e such a class they would soon be converted iuto the mere tools of a few rich and art ful men, who, having first stripped them of every sense of selt respeet, ati 1 every feeling proper to virtuous citizens, would use them a passive instruments for pro moting their own ambitious objects, and for the enactment ot laws which arc benificial to t.obody but the artful lew nud base demagogues with whom thev originate. It is as true of the tueclmiiiMl arts as of any rofefion thut "kuuwldge i power." Helping the Bank. A Readiug paper gravely lel ites the following inciJent of the p:mi; in that city: "Quite a touching afiair occured in the Reading Savings Bank, which al lorded a lesson to some wen who were in the bank at the time. Two little boys, each eight or nine years of age, came in to the institution and stated to the chashier that they had heard the bank wanted money, and (hut they had come to :ive them some. Each had a bank book and fifty cent. The money was duly deposited aud the little lads left. Soon thereafter another little boy, oc companincd by his nged grand mother, entered the batik and deposited fifty three cents, also 'to help along the bank." The death of an old worn in residing on North Maiost, Wilkesbarre, the othei day, from actual destitution, gives the Luzerne Union a chance for the follow ing reflections : "The fact of a poor old woman dying in a city where twelve churches echo the teachings of Christian charity every Sunday, may appear strang er than fiction ; but it seems doubly strange wheu wc know that there arc at least 40 benevolent associations in our uiulst, whose influences were felt in Chi cao, Boston, Shrcveport, aud other places.
