Ho is of a devout turn of niin;. his age is eighteen years, his height twenty-seven inches, his weight a little over a pound to the inch, and his name it is Lewis. S"Hon. John P. Hale died at his resi denccat Dover, New Hampshire, on Wednes day evening last, alter a long illness. Mr. llalc has been prominently before the public for thirty years, having been first elected to Congrcsc in 1843. He was an early oppon ent of slavery, and was the candidate of the Free Soil party for President in the year 1SS2. He was in the GSth year of his age. t'ST'TilE prospects for a war with Spain, on account of the Cuban troubles, still glows. We do not see how the Government can back down from its assumed position with honor. The only course left is to insist up on its demands, even though the military resources are taxed to their full capacity. The administration is in earnest, and we have not a doubt but that it can be safely trusted in all efforts to preserve the honor of oar flag, and the rights and safety of our citizens whose business inay call them to Cuba. OqF Accounts from Europe show that its dependence on this country for breadstuff's during the present harvest year will be even greater than has been supposed. These pur chases .will of course be paid for with some of the coin we have heretofore been shipping to that quarter with such lavish hand, and this wiil still further turn the balance of trade in our favor. Between the 1st of Jan uary and the 1st of November we have ex ported over forty millions of specie this year, and have as j-et only gotten back fifteen mil lions of this immense sum. The population of Europe must be fed. There is, in this1 matter, no power of contraction of consump tion. The outlook is full of eueouragemcnt. Since the beginning of the year wo have d'minished our imports of merchandise by the um of $j4.390,4:)4, and have, in the saim period, increased our exports by the Mini of $55,819.490 in all a gain of $90, liUG,924. By the close of the year we shall have increased this gain to $100,000,000, and we are drawing specie besides. The Xcvr Constitution. We last week, in a supplement, spread be fore our readers the New Constitution, for the adoption or rejection of which, they will be called upon to vote, on Tuesday Dec. Jtlrh. We hope that each oue has read and MiKlered over the work of the Convention, to tint when the time to vote arrives all will 1-e prepared to vote intelligently. We know the proncness which people have to stand by old things, and the virtue is commendable ; but when old things lose their usefulness, and fail in producing the good designed, or when they but cover up real evils, we think the time has arrived when they should be laid aside, and a new move be made on the forward march of pro gress. Wo look upon it that this is precisely the case with our old Constitution. In its day it was useful, and its provisions, sugges ted by the wants of the times, were, in a measure, production of much good. But it has failed to keep step with the march of the times, and the spirit of this day is far. in ad vance of any of its provisions, designed to protect the people both from each other and from themselves. It is well therefore that we consider the situation in all its aspects, and learn whether the time for the change has not come. The new Constitution submitted for pub lic consideration i3 not a perfect instrument. Its friends do not claim that it is. It is cer tainly however a great improvement on the one which it is proposed to supercede, and taken human nature at its par value, it is as near perfection as may be, and, if adopted will certainly be the means of pro moting reform in all branches of the State Government, thus preventing the abuses uu ler which we are now laboring. It will meet the stubborn demands of the times in a manner in which they cannot possibly be meet under our present fundamental law. Its instruction upon legislation should alone commend it to public favor; but when to these are added the assured purity of the baTiot box and elections, a still more efficient and honest Judiciary, a proper and just line of restriction upon the powers and priviliges conferred upon railroads and corporations gcnerally,and all the other good provided for, we can see no reason why there should be even the shadow of an opposition to its adoption. We regrgt, however, to observe that it does not meet with universal approbation. We regret this the more, because the objec tions urged though coming in many instan ts from quarters generally reliable and res pectable,, are without weight even in the abstract, fbsrc is really no reason why any man. having th gcod of the Commonwealth at heart should not only vote, but also work, and work hard, to- induce his neighbor to think and vote for the adoption cf the best fundamental law that was evr concocted for the Government of a people.. This is the view taken of our proposed New CtjHstitu- tion, not only by the Pre.'g,. but also, by the Statesmen of other States, and it would, b well for our voters to pay heed to it.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 24th iiiht, announces under the head of Asso ciated Press news, dated Washington, Nov. 23, the appointment of J. C. Christtuan, at Mauch Chunk, Carbon county, Pa., as Post Master, vice Mrs. Jane llighter. Exit Boss Tvrccd. . It is one of the cheering signs of the times that neither wealth nor position, lon ger shield upper tendom criminals. Several instances of this state of things have recently been given in our courts, the most notable of which is that growing out of the case of William M. Tweed, of New York. Tweed, a our readers well know, at one time literally owned New York city. Noth ing in its municipal affairs was doue without his consent, and if he had been an honest man, entertaining the well being of the city in reality, he could doubtless have made for himself a name which would have gone honored to posterity. But honesty was not Boss Tweed s forte, lie knew no one but himself, and if in the course of his career of official crime, others were placed iu the area of competence, it was only because there was a necessity that such things should be in order that he might the more certainly enrich himself. The acquisition of dollars was the height of his ambition, and he only sought power and friendships to acquire these, the means emploj-ed being a matter of no consideration whatever. In the course of his official career, Boss Tweed's acts were only those of official dis honesty. With the cunning of the burglar, the bravado of the highwayman, and the littleness of the sneak thief, he entered upon a system of peculation which defrauded the city government out of millions of the hard earned dollars of its tax payers. Every thing was made to ponder in this way, to his overwhelming desire to grow rich. Con tracts, which were entered into under his su pervision, were only so many opportunities to steal. The lowest bidder was always sup planted by the hichest, and the bills and estimates for work done, were so manipu lated, that fortunes reverted to the Boss as his share, even after other fortunes had been swindled out of the City Treasury into the coffers of the Ingersolls, Gavits, Con nollys, Ifaggerty's and the rest of the crew. And for years this state of things went on, until it came that that was a remarkable sale of valuale real estate, sold under the pressure of a sheriff" s levy, which was not knocked down to Boss Tweed especially if the property presented the shadow of a prospect that it might be made useful for city purposes, at an advance of from one hundred to five hundred per cent. . The end, however, came at last The life's blood of the people could not always be sucked away without telling upon the public powers of endurance. The Boss' rapacity gave no token of a letting up of hi hold upon the treasury, and the people groaned under their financial afflictions. After groauscaui3 murmurs, and after these came action, prompt and decisive. Investigation revealed most hiddeous municipal corrup tion, and at once the lion of all the rascali ties New York had suffered was bearded in his den, and the arm of the law, for a long time paralyzed, was invoked to resume its strength, and come to the rescue. The work was slow, and the prospect for relief anything but flattering, uutil, in the majesty of public indignation, corrupt judges were hurled from their seats, and the hydra headed ring, in the person of Tweed himself, was throttled and dragged before honest tri bunals to give a strict account of its steward ship. It was only then that the people saw light and were permitted to breathe the pure air of Heaven freely. And now we have the sequel to Boss Tweed's rascality, and a gloiious sequel it is : the villian condemned for his crimes, and ignominiously expatiating them in a felons cell. In the language of Judge Davis, who tried Tweed, -and fought most manfully against the insidious wiles of eminent coun sel from the commencement of the trial to the end, while the prisoner was "honored and esteemed, he concocted plans to plunder the city, and thus proved himself a dis grace to the civilized world," and it was right that he should have measured out to him a sentence of twelve years in the county prison, ani $12,70 fine. And yet, heavy as the sentence appears, it is light in com parison with the deeds for which it was in flicted, for the charges on which he was tried there are others yet untried cover peculations, or rather fair, square robberies, amounting to over a million of dollars. It is, indeed, cheering that in this onslaugh of the people against kid-gloved rascality, right has prevailed over mammon's might, and that hope may now be entertained that the days of peculative abuses on the part of trusted officials are rapidly approaching an ignomiuious end. "The Wouixgman's Friend." This is a name given by the readers of the American Working People to that paper, and it well deserves it, for it is pre-eminently the working-man's paper of America. The Novem ber number now before us, fully sustains its Cornier reputation as a first-class paper for the toiling millions. It contains among other illustrations a life-size portrait of George Fritz, Esq., the late managerof the Cambria Iron Works, at .Johnstown, Pa., and a bio grophical sketch of his life from boyhood up, and cites him as an example of what energy, perseverance and study will do for thei'outh learning t trade, if he properly applies him self. The sketch should be read by every workingman in the land.

On going to Philadelphia, one of the best places of amusement one can visit, is Fox's American Theatre. The acting is all first class and the actors of course are all stars in their line. While we were there Monsieur Martens performances on the violin, aud Prof. J. L. Davis unrivalled troupe of per forming dos:3 were marked features of at traction. There is nothing common place at Fox's, and if you have friend "Sam" with you you are just fixed for the pleasantest evening you ever spent. It is a good sign when hard times do not press unreasonably upon a man's business. This is decidedly the case with the proprie tor of the Lackawanna House at East Stroudsburg. The hard times appear to secure an increase iustead of decrease of business, and the reason is obvious. The conveniences of the Lackawanna House are all first class, and VanCott seemsjto have been cut out purposely to keep a Hotel. There is no better place to stop at in all this region, the accommodations being all homelike, and the comfort of guest the sole aim, not only of the proprietor, but also of all who assist him in the Hotel management.

UtnpperheM, ot rstroud town ship, this county, advertised in one of the New York papers for a farmer to take charge of her place. On Monday evening, 16th inst, a stranger came to the Strouds burg depot, inquired for Mrs. Chipperfield's residence, and procured a conveyance and was taken to her place, about three miles distant, ho taking supper and remaining all night at Mrs. C's house. In the moruing he took breakfast, examined the place and expressed himself fully satisfied with it; stated to Mrs. C. that he would telegraph to his wife who, he stated, resided in Albany, N. Y. Before leaving, however, he asked for and obtained a loan of $5, and for full security handed over to Mrs. C. his gold watch and chain. But just before leaving he told Mrs. C. that he would like to have the watch, but would leave the chain, to which she consented. She brought her sun- posed future farmer to the Stroudsburg depot, when he pretended lie had telrgraphed to his wife, and left on the traio. On Mrs. C's return home, and on slight examination of the room her pretended farmer had occu pied, to her great surprise she missed her 1 11 ! opera glass, goia pen ana pencil, ana various other things, and $25 in money, which had been put away carefully between the folds of the clothing or bedclothmg which was care fully stored in the room. Mrs. C. subsequent ly brought her gold chain to town, and on inquiry of some of our jewelers as to its real value, was informed that it was worth about 25 cents. At the conclusion of this matter Mrs C's feelings can better be imagined than described. To all Whom it May Concern.
