Though thus truLsui may uot alwaj'g be can didly acknowledged it is always certainly felt. The case of our neighbor of the Democrat is U marked one. The efforts of his numerous certifiers in the sympathetic way, which he published last wee k, arid of which he had so liluny more on hand for publication this week and possibly next, have had a wonder ful effect in rubbing out the soreness occa sioned by the havingof a coat pulled off at him and in restoring him to those amenities which he had about made up his mind he had lost And what is still more remarkable is the fact that these efforts of his friends have struck clean through him and touched even us, so that we too are constrained to feel glad with him, and to joy with him over his relief from his disasrccable dilemma.

Correspondence of the Jeffersonian. Scranton, Pa., March 24th, 1874. Dear Jeff. Besides the rapidity of its growth and developcment and the excellence of the newepaperu, there is much in Scranton that is worty of note. Not the least of these ita belongings are the business and social charac teristics of iu inhabitant. Made up as its population is of representatives of nearly every country under the sun, one would naturally suppose that clanishness would prove a pre dominating feature, and so it does to a certain extent We have our claims and castes and stations in society, and we maintain them too in spite of constitutional provisions and civi rights bills; but we have a common ground to which all come with cheerfulness and stand on an equality and that is the ground or poin from which we all start out in pursuit of the "almighty dollar." In the race for this great stake none of us are too high or too low, too rich or loo poor to mingle. From the mam moth corporation down to the pussy Teuton or the red faced son of the Green Isle, who lords it over the Lager Beer Saloon or the more pestiferous Gin Mill, all start on the level even if they do not come out on the square. Trade, trade, trade is the watchword of all, and to come out at the end with a com pc-tence the aim of all. This is business, and as business it is better understood in Scranton than in any other place with which I am acquainted. And the reason for thu is appar cnt Every body comes here to make money and there are therefore but few drones among US. Socially Scranton is different Your columns would hardly afford room sufficient for even a touch upon the symptoms which go to furnish a complete diagnosis of Scrant-,n society. The number of classes is alruot t beyond computa tion nearly every body in the city consider ing himself a little better than every body else The amount of ' blue blood" coursing rampant here is absolutely appalling. And yet all who indulge pride over the possession of the pre cious liquid do not at all times meet on a common level. There is a difference in the intensity of the blue you know, and quantity docs not always indicate quality, and hence, while there are occasions when all the blood favored may come together, there are the ordinarv run of times when the line of deruar cation is most stringently drawn. It is not confessed that the dollar marks the class. The "ton" of the place affects literature and general knowledge above the common run and protest that the stepping-stones to upper tendom are refined taste, gentle breeding as consequent upon it, and the mental faculties (as farmers would say it,) under the highest 6tate of cultivation. You are reminded of this at every town and yet the shop holds predomi nance, and "business" proves itself the best studied theme in every conversation indulged. Doubtless the theory is genuine for the class, but the place of business arranged with the greatest care, and ornamented in the most pleasing manner to catch "the nimble six pense" a3 it passes by, and the dwelling with its palatial adjuncts and surroundings smacks too stronglv of the "codfish" to induce belief in the presence of the genuine whale. The next best class of society here, taking for granted that the class which I have just described the best, (though no one is compelled to admit this) I mean the class composed of those who fail to see sense in arogating to them selves a position of questionable standing to say the least the small traders, mechauics and laboring classes will compare favorably with those of any other locality. Their row may be a harder one to hoe than that of their more favored fellow citizens, but they are not a wit behind them in all that constitutes the good citizen. Indeed taking them all in all, I do not see but that they are measurably the superior class in our community. The dollars of the rich are a source of comfort, but it was the skill of the mechanic, and the muscle of the laboring man which thus far developed and made available our hidden wealtl Aristocracy and dollars, of themselves would have left Scranton remain the Slocum hollow of forty years ago, our coal miiiC3 unheard of and our immense manufacturing establish ments the fabulous creations of some crazy visionary. It is some compensation to these latter most useful classes that wealth is compel led to appreciate their goodness and, in shape of wages for labor to a degree at least, reward their deservings. Of that class known as the dregs of society Scranton has its iull share. As these are neither ornamental nor useful to the city, one hardly sees why they are permitted to abide in it. They are probably a necessity, however, upon the supposition that it takes all kinds of people to make a city, and our city of Scran ton would not be so complete without them. The parade on St Patricks day did not turn out so grand an affair as was expected. The Catholic clergy threw a damper over it because of the desire of the Society of the Ancient order of Hibernians to join in the parade. This society, better known as the "Mollie Maguires," is under the ban of the church and even denied christian burial for unlawful practices. The members are all Irsji Catholics, and claim that they are vilely abused and slandered and that they are associated under the laws for mutual protection only. I do not known how that may be, but I do know that they are roundly denounced for such unlawful indulgences as association, house burning and other past times of like pleasant character, Hardly a day passes but what some house is marred by a notice pasted on it having a coffin painted thereon and a written warning to the occupant to leave within a given time, under penalty of death. In consequence of the inter ference of the priests we had parades The Catholic Tentberance and Beneficial Societies by themselves, and the "Mollies" by them selves. The day closed with a goodly share of drunkenness, some dozen or more street fights and our lock-up filled to its utmost capacity. The Presidential appointment of Joseph A. Scranton for postmaster of this place, was confirmed by the Senate a few day ago. Mr. S. will enter upon the duties of his. office as soon as his appointment arrives, possibly by the 1st of April. The chapter of accidents for the past week is unusually short, and free from fatality. Yours Truly ScrrjL. Wliat YVe beard and Sair U-lthin tbe neck. Last Sunday evening while passing down main street at rather a late hour, when nealy in front of the residence of the hand some and petite Miss. , we heard a noise which sounded like a cow drawing her hoof out of the mud, "smack." Judge of our surprise, when we discovered that it was only the "sugar-plum" herself and lover kissing good-night at the gate. They must have been studying the beauties of the starry firmament above them, for vre had proceeded but a few Bteps when she ecstati cally exclaimed, "My stars Joe, (we will call him Joe, for short,) but was'nt that sweet In a few moments we returned. Again he kissed her, when coquettish ly she said: "At it again.'' Then she, with childlike simplicity caught him around the neck, kissed him, and in a "soft and silvery tone" wispered in his ear but we heard her, "now aint we having fun." The scene made us young again, and we thought we, too, would like to have a little "fun." The ladies think of organizing a " praying band" "for the pur pose of laying siege to "Tannery." A good move in the right direction. Some of our young ladies think small patches of black court plaster artistically pasted on the cheek, chin, or lip, adds to their beauty. Rut it b not so, dear girls ; then there is danger of the patches on the lips being transferred to the lip of some Adonis who might venture too close, which would " let the cat out of the bag." No less than three ladies claim the bustle found last week. "Angels and ministers of grace," from the shades of Academy hill defend us. "The old folks at home," and " Wc shall meet on that Beau tiful Shore," was sung in a very creditable manner by the " brunette " and " blonde," last Sunday afternoon. With a little more practice, the one that "clawed" the "ivor ies," will make an excellent pianist A large number of our " bloods " have invest ed in immense finger rings. They are cheap You can get them in prize packages. Only ten cents. One adorns the delicate fist of " Inkey." Two angels in disguise, serena ded some of our residents a few evenings since. "Music hath charms, &c," but it won't capture him, girls. The fire laddies are forming an association tq be known as "The Crusaders." It is to be hoped they will do much. good. The handsome and ac complished " brunette," sojourning with a friend in the classic regions of Loder's school house, for some time past, contem plates taking her departure in a few dajs. During her visit she has made a host of friends, all of which will deeply regret the los3 of her society. If Madam Rumor in forms us correctly, with her departure there will be one or two of our young men who will need the services of a " ministering an gel " to heal the wounds inflicted by cupid's arrow. Take a bottle or two of Mrs. Wins low's soothing syrup, boys, and you will soon be all right. We wish the fair one a bon voyage. Scene Engine house. Time Tuesday morning, thermometer ten degrees below zero, no fire, no coal. "Tannery," "good-natured John" and "Oofty Gooft," hold a council to devise means for procuring enough coal to build a fire at which they can toast their shins And indulge in a no, read a few chapters. "Tannery" skirmishes, is successful, and they have a pleasant time discussing the' merits of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. Officer Keener made his appearance (but not in full uniform) last Saturday when the Phoenix Fire Company were trying their "mochine," Had there been a drunken row he would no doubt have been non est. Every one has observed that dogs, be fore they lie down, tarn themselvas round and round several times. Those who have had an opportunity of witnessing the actions of animals in a wild state. know that they seek long grass for their beds, which they beat down and render more commodious by turning round in it several times. It would appear, there fore, that tha habit of our domestic dogs in this respect is derived from the nature of the same species in the wild state. This is a curieus fact, and seems to prove how much the instinctive habit of wild animals are retained by their domesti cated progeny. i . n. n., t .a ii It has long been known that the simp lest method of sharpening a razor is to put it far half an hour in water to which has been added one twentieth of its weight of muriatic or sulphuric acid, then lightly wipe it off, and and after a few hours set it on a hone. The acid here supplies the place of a whetstone by cor roding the whole surface uniformly, so that nothing further than a smooth polish is necessary. The process never injures good blades, while badly-hardened ones are frequently improved by it, although the cause of this improvement remains unexplaiued. i I. i. i Comparative Health of States. A comparison of death rates in twelve States shows that Indiana is the healthiest, then Vermont, Ohio, Rhode Island, II lioois, New Hampshire, Virginia, Peon sjlvaoia, New York, California, Maesa chusetts, and Louisiana. The death re cords are, however, no safe guides. In but few of the States are they kept with regularity and precision, and it is possi ble that if registration were as correal in Indiana as in New York, tho two States might ehange places in (he list. . i m Lehigh county has 17,971 ' taxable, of which number 5,099 live and own pro perty in Allentowa. Texas is placing more eorn in land. and more land in corn than usual. MISCELLANEOUS. York county has a sheep weighing 300 pounds. "Grange" is a French word, and means a barn. ' The debt of Indiana county is 5146, 599 65. There are 32,000 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in this State. A large number of new buildings will be erected in Roading thir season. The Cumberland county mammoth steer is said to weigh 4,000 pounds. The number of schools in Pennsylvania in which the Bible is read is over 10,000. There are over 24,000 idiots in this eountry, who are acknowledged as fuch. The grand jury of Pomeroy, Ohio, has found two hundred indictments against liquor dealers. An exchange says it is eay enough to get rich if you "start right." Yes start right off and do it. Praying in houses of ill-fame is the next reform. It has been introduced in Cincinnati. The rate of taxation in Lancaster city is 60 cents on the $100; the total valua tion 512,820,500. The Women's Medical College at Phil adelphia turned out eighteen graduates this commencement. "Cremation" has nothing whatever to do with the small quantity of cream which gathers on your milkman's milk. Quite a number of Wisconsin Indiana have lately applied for naturalization pa pers. Many of them can read and write. Notwithstanding the mutterings of the temperance storm, Fred. Laucr, of Read iog, has stowed 2,500 barrels of beer in his vaults. Black skunk skins, which formerly cold for a shilling, now command one dollar each ; such are the freaks of fashion. Tbe Husober of people who died in Philadelphia last year would make a procession a mile long, marching ten abreast. Angelsand ministcrsof grace defend us There are said to be twenty four drum corps and an equal number of brass bands in Scranton. The cold weather of tha past few days .seems to have extended to all parts of the eountry. At many places in the North west the mercury is bolow zero. Joseph Wietz, eharged with the mur der of IKrmon Butcher, was found guilty on Saturday, at Catskill, N. Y., and sen tenced to be hanged on May 1. About forty tons of greenback paper is the. quantity expressed from Glen Mills, Chester county, to Washington and New York per month. About three hundred and thirty hands principally girls between twelve and femr teen years of age, are employed in the silk factory at Seranton. It was recently shown in a case in Minnesota that two men can start a bank on ten dollars capital, take in money and run away with $20,000 in thirteen months time. Rural rhetoric. A country girl in Kentucky who had a quarrel with a lover, remarked to a friend that "she wasn't on squeezing terms with that fraud any more In ten years the expenditure for clean ing the streets of New Yerk city has swelled from S13.000 to $1,000,000, and their uncleanliaess has swelled in a cor responding ratio. Twenty five ladies in Bethlehem have volunteered to undertake the work of temperance reform in that borough through the instrumentality of street prayer meetings.. The Union Pacific Road is now in the hands of Jay Gould he owns 167,000 shares out of 300,000, and is putting the screw on to declare a dividend of four per cent. A peculiarity of the women's temperance movement at the West is the tolling of bells when they make the whisky seller a visit. In the middle ages bells were often rung to disperse evil spirits. The Reading Eagle of the 16th inst., says that on Monday a young man named Edward J. Keffer was sent by his father to the bank to deposit 8370, but failed to do so. Detectives were sent to work, foul play being feared, but they soon earae to the conclusion that the young man had voluntarily left the city. A Nebraska judge, not long since, con vie ted and fined a man in the following sovel manner : There being no evidence against the prisoner, the judge declared he knew somcthingof the man himself. Whereupon he solemnly administered the oath to him self, gave his testimony, and convicted the prisoner thereon. MARRIED. In Stroudsburg, March 19th, by Rev. Ro bert Pitts, Mr. William II.
