, . . .. . SI)C 3cffcrsouiau. THURSDAY, NOVEMEER 5, 1874. The election on Tuesday last iu this County w. a very quiet one, and the vote a light one. The Democratic majority for the State Ticket, will hardly reach 1,500. For Sheriff, the fig :rts indicate the election of J. K. Shafer ; for Commissioner the figures appear to seat Cornelius Starrier. &sT The election is over and we arc glad of it. Though election day is among the most important of our public days, there are tn a uy reasons why all should be glad of its passage and chief among these is the one significant reason that it enables U3 to couie down to common sense again, aud to return, as it wore, to the aeknowledcincnt of a com mon brotherhood. This is not so apt to be the prevailing order, when man, because o a difference of political opinion, stand arrayed in a position of aKtagonistu to each other an antagonism vJiieh, iu too many instances, forget3 the inherent right of opinion which attaches to every other man, and approaches doc to, if it does not enter the very confines of hate. Wc caa all remember elections in which nirtv siirit ran so high in the wrong scale that brother was arrayed agaiust broth r and father against sou with all the vindic- iiveness of the savage. We knew an in stances of this kind, where the son was for bidden to enter the house of the father, and when the two met on the streets with all the coolness of strangers passing each other without allowing the nod of recognition to fall or the speech of good will to escape their lips. We had no occasion for such feeling in the late campaign, and we thank God for it arid we hope the time for the engender ing of a like spirit ha3 departed from us for ever. We are particularly glad that the recent elect ion i3 over on our neighbor of the Demo- rrats account. The wear and tear of consci cnee which ho was compelled to undergo in trying to make his Democratic brethren be ir;ve that the candidates of his party were worthy even of their support, was truly appal ing. He knew nothing about them personally and not much politically, and yet he fought their battles as though he had begot them and had really known them from the word "go." II is endeavors to bring reproach too on the national administration, was of a piece with the support of his candidates. Iudeed Lis arguments were as precisely manufactured out of whole cloth and hence were arguments worthy the theme. But think of the reflection.: which harrowed both rniud and conscience tvhen he had flushed his "now I lay me down to sleep" and endeavored to count the soothing god Morpheus, and lay himself away in peaceful slumbers. Oar bowels of compassion yearned for him, and our heart fairly bled for him, as we witnessed on his countenance, in his walkings along the street, the evidence of the perturbed state of mind which followed his doing the work set him by his masters. Our neighbor i3 naturally a good, pleasant sort of a fellow, and we can not help but rejoice over the fact that the jassage of the election will afford rest to his brain, ease to the strain upon his conscience, t;nd give him time for amends honorable to ruth and righteous attendance upon the services of the sanctuary, and a general re pentance for evil deeds done in the campaign. That he will make good use of his opportun ity we would not for a moment doubt Again we rejoice that the election is over, because it will afford U3 all more time to at tend to matters of vital import for our best temporal interests. The Normal School question is one of these, and should gaiuour earliest attention. The opportunity is still i within our grasp, and we will not be true to ursc!ve3 if we do not take hold cf it and push it to full fruition. The effort for the establishment of a Normal School here last spring would have been a success had there 1-ecu more of unity in securing the object and less of schism as to locality. The people were then ripe for the project, but the mani pulators and speculators spoiled all in their efforts to make every thing connected with it work to increase the value of this or that ten square feet of hnd in which they were interested. The work should be began over again and should be earnestly pushed, and the result caunot fail to be the establishment of the school and a large addition secured to our material prosperity and wealth. The Normal Schools already established are all successful and pay well in their neighborhoods and one here, with all our advantages, could not fail to come up to the best. Aside from the educational consideration the dollar and cent view makes the establishment of a school here altogether desirable. Again we rejoice over the passage of the election, because we want time to cousider the introduction of water and gas into our borough. Amid the destruction by fire prevailing all around us as steadily as an epidemic, it behoves us to seek those appli ances of fckill which will certainly render us more secure thau we now are. With kero fc&oe as our chief illuminator and a lamen table lack of water priviligcs in the greater portion of the tovm our property is liable to destruction from the slightest accident. With water in abundance, with kerosene banished nnd gas substituted ia its tead, and with our excellent steamer always in order we fchould be comparatively safe, and might well go to sleep aud bleep the bleep of the living just. The cost would te little and the benefit a thousand fold. There are other matters that would furnish food for rejoicing over the passage of the election, but we. have suggested enough for consideration this week. Our neighbor's con science, the Normal School, and Water and Gas are enough to think of for a month, and we will end the chapter, with a promise to tantinue its subject at another time. j Potatoes bring f0 cents per bushel. ., Wheat flour sella at $4 per hundred.

There will be a grand exhibition and cak walk in aid of Rev. J. T. Hammond, pastor of A. M. E. Church of Stroudsburg, Pa., i Williams's Hall, on Wednesday and Thurs dayeveuings, November 11th and 12th, 1S74 Lost. On Main street, in this Borough on Monday last, 2d inst., somewhere be tween II. D. Bush's and C. R. Andre & Co's Store, a ladys black silk Sash and clasp, lhe finder will be suitably rewar ded for his trouble, by leaving the same at this office. Mr, James II. McCartt, who was at Shawnee on business on Thursday last brought home with him a monster raddis which weighed 10 pounds, andabectwhic weighed 8 pounds and 14 ounces. They were raised by Mrs. Frees and Mrs. Wilson, and as a pair will be hard to beet. Onward and upward are the watchward which govern the improvements on th Stroudsburg House. The contractor M Wm. Garis, is pushing on the work famously The frame is all, up the roof laid and tinned the wiudow frames are set and the woathe boarding nearly completed. This certain! is business. TlIE farmers having had such gloriou weather for gathering in their corn, potatoe; and apples crops took advantage of it to finish up these important portions of their fall work The consequence of this was that our town has been unusualhdull for several weeks past. The work completed times willlighten up again. We are requested to announce that Silas Drake has rented the room lately occoupied by Hon. J. II. Walton, on Main street, in this borough, adjoining Dr. Geo. W. Jack son's office and will open a full line of super icr oils, lamps, chimneys, burners, &c. which he will sell at the lowest rates. Make a note of this and give him a call. Decker of the cheap Auction store ha got the advantage of the merchants who bought their fall and winter goods a month ago, for goods have had a terrible smash down last week, and the car is in loaded, with piles of goods at the smash down prices for the cheap Auction store. See his adver tisement in an another column. In jobbing work we hold to the assertion that in neatness, promptness and cheapness we cannot easily be beaten. Any order for anything in the job line from a single line visiting card, all the way up to a mammouth poster will always find us ready to meet the desires of customers. Give us a trial and he convinced that fiction forms no part of our assertions in this respect. Now, the long nights and short daj-s hav ing arrived, is a good time to subscribe for a good newspaper. Though we have no reason to complain of the numbers on our subscrip tion list, or of a want of promptness general ly in paying up, we would confidently advise our friends all over that there is always room for a few more names left on our list. We feel safe in commending the Jeffersonian as worthy of the patronage of all, and we intend to make it more worthy of support than ever. As Mr. Place and wife, of Middle Smithfield were riding leisurely into town, on Tuesday of last week, and when opposite the residence of Geo. W. Drake, on main street they came within a hairs breadth of being made the subjects of a horrible and fatal accident They had got too near the Street passenger railroad track, when a pass ing run of cars struck one of the hind wheels of their carriage with such force as to tear it off and crush it down aod flatten the tire out straight as a ram rod. Truly their escape was a narrow one. At a meeting of the borough fathers on Friday evening last, Mr. Wilson Dreher was appointed collector of the borough Taxes, and dirrectcd to collect and settle up his duplicate by the 1st of March next Of course those who have thus far failed to pay their taxes will lose the advantage of the 5 per cent, abatement allowed for prompt pay ment As money will be needed to pay the January interest and to meet the redemption of bonds due and over due, we presume the collections will be pushed without regard to the date fixed for .settling with the collector, Delinquents had better, therefore, prepare themselves to meet any emergency which may arise. Of the utility of the Jeffersonian as an advertising medium, so far as we can learn, none of our advertising friends have reason to complain. As a general thing a good paying subscriber to a paper is a good pay ing, liberal customer in any other branch of business. We boast that these from the rule and that those who are lack in coming for ward promptly on time are the exceptions on our subscription list. And this is, by long odds, the only true criterian by which to judge of the feasibility of an advertising investment Numbers are of not so much account as paying customers. Try the Jef- ftrsonian and see if you do not profit by the use of its advertmng ilumns Sunday last being somewhat cold and 11 aste:y interfered somewhat with the attend ance at our churches. There were more there, however, than would have sufficed to have saved sodom from destruction and that is a comfortable reflection. Hallowe'en, the "Holly Eve" of boy hood passed off on Saturday evening with out any especial observance in this latitude. In our boyhood days the cabbage heads, &c. made considerable noise banging against the doors of our neighbors residences. Some of the Tom Collin's champions who were at Portland on the occassion of the recent base ball match stopped with mine host btaats cf the Portland House They speak in terms of the highest praise of "Ned" as a landlord, and insist upon it that his accommodations are all up to the A No. 1 notch. His table is loaded with the best the market affords and cooked in the best and most appetising style, while his bar is wholly devoid of the beuzines and other poisonons compounds too often dis pensed to thirsty customers in inland hotels. The boys say that for a good feed or a good drink Ned's Portland House cannot be beaten. We learned to know Ned as a good boy while he was living here, and we are pleased to learn of his good qualities as a landlord. The particulars of the sudden death of Mr. Wm. Frankeufield, which so startled our community on Wednesday of last week, as we have learned them are about as follows Mr. F. sat down to hi3 breakfast, apparently in his usual health, cat a hearty meal and when done rose up, when he remarked to his family that there was something strange the matter with him. The family becoming alarmed at his condition sent for some of the neighbors. Among the first to arrive was Esquire Drake, who helped the sufferer to the water closet, where he was attacked with excessive vomiting. When this ceased the Squire helped him into the house, when he commenced sinking rapidly, and in a short time expired. Mr. Frankenfield had been for a number of years an active member and class leader in the Methodist Church of this place and always ranked as one among the most exemplary of our citizens. In his de portment he was ever modest and unassum ing, and in bis life was ever apparent the virtues of the earnest, God loving christian. His family, in his sudden death, has met with a loss incalcuable in extent, and com munity mourns the Ios3 of a member whose memory will remain green in remembrance, because of his noble christian character. The sympathies of our whole community flow earnestly but tenderly towards the widowed wife and children in this their sad, sad, bereavement. The newspaper issued daring election week is usually, with editors a bard odc to manage. Thought and pen have been so much accus tomed to running in the bard beaten political track that it is hard work to make them shear off on to new ground to break new paths, hence the paper, as it were, makes a dull and rusty appearance, and really lacks the spirit which it is accustomed to exhibit But the difficulty will not long remain. By another week we shall have recovered from I the effect of our rejoicing over victory oi" our mournings over defeat, and then every thing will run smoothly again. We do not regret the ceasing of these an nual political botherations and bickerings, because, though they are necessities in their way they are not always pleasurers. It is not pleasant to disagree with friends and neighbors, but so long as men are so consti tuted that differences of opinion flow a? naturally through the mind as water runs down hill, on the principle that "what can not be cured must be endured," we must ac cept the situation and make the most of it, But now that is over for a term, and we are again at leisure to enjoy the pleasures of edi torial life, and among these none are greater than those afforded by the noting of return ng prosperity among the people, improve ments in both town and county, success in the agricultural and legitimate speculative efforts of our fellowmen, and the gathering together, jotting down of news items of in terest, of every day happenings, and of evi dences of success in ameliorating the general condition of the country and inhabitants, Great, however, as is this pleasure, it would be greatly added to if we could induce our riends hereabouts both in town and county to aid us in adding interest to the Jefferson ian by keeping us advised of things of every day happening in their several neighbor hoods, We would appreciate and could easily ap propriate the services of one or more corres pondents in every township in the county and we, and they and our readers would be the better for the services rendered. Mar riages, deaths, accidents of all kinds, fires runaways both of human and equines, the erection of new buildings and the repairing of old ones, even to the putting of a new roof on an old barn, the sale of real and personal property, and the doings at debating socie ties, singing and spelling schools, sociables and donation visits, would all go to makeup a newsy paper valuable and interesting for present reading and future reference to sub scribers both at home and abroad. Our ideas of a true newspaper is such a one as while it wid be prized in the county where issued, will prove to subicribers, former residents here, but who have settled elsewhere, good as a letter from home reaching them weekly reignted with just the kind of personal news of friends and acquaintances they would most delight to read. J ust such a pa ner we would ike to publish, but it is impossible for us to do it unaided by the kindness of friends. In former numbers of our paper we have ppealed for this assistance but in vain May we not hope that this time we shall be more successful, and that this our anneal will meet with as cheerful a response, as we find in a number of our exchanges is accorded to similar efforts of editors in other localities. e have grown somewhat prolix on this matter, but our interest in the pubicct has kd us to unintentional length. TUESDAY'S ELECTION. In Pennsylvania the vote is very close, and is claimed by both parties. Small Democratic majorities are generally re ported from the counties, and in Philadel phia the Republicans claim only 8,000 ma jority, about 17,000 less than last year. A min r,P9 Onnnsitinn ConfTOSSmen is TC- V X v C ported. In Delaware the Democrats elect their State ticket by from eight hundred to two thousand majority, the member oi Con gress, and a majority, of the Legislature, thus insuring the return of the Hon. T. F. Bayard to the U. S. Senate. In Michigan the Republicans have elec ted their State ticket by about 20,000 ma jor it v, and have secured the Legislature by a small maioritv. The Democrats have 'gained three Congressmen. The Republicans have carried Wisconsin by a small majority, and they claim a ma jority on joint ballot in the Legislature. The Congressional delegation stands the same as in the last Congress. The Republicans have carried Minnesota and have returned their three Congress men. In Massachusetts Gaston, Democratic candidate for Governor is elected by about S,000 majority. Four Democratic Congress man out of 1 1 are elected. Butler, Gooch, Ayer, Williams and Alexander are among the defeated candidates. In New York, Tilden, Democrat, defeats Dix, Republican, by about 30,000. Thanksgivig Day President's Procla mation. The following proclamation was promul gated on the yth ult : By the President of the United Slates of America. A PROCLAMATION. We arc reminded by the changing seasons that it is time to pause in our daily avoca tions and offer thanks to Almighty God for the mercies and abundance of the year which is drawing to a close. The blessmj of a free government continue to be vouchsafed to us, the earth has responded to the labor of the husbandman, the land has been free from pestilence, internal order is being maintained, and peace with other powers has prevailed. It is fitting that at stated periods we should cease from our accustomed pursuits, and from the turmoil of our daily lives, and unite in thankfulness for the blessings of the past, and in the continuation of kindly feelings toward each other. Now, there fore, recognizing these considerations, I. Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, do recommend to all citizens to as semble in their respective places of worship ON THURSDAY, TIIK TWENTY-SIXTH DAY OF November, 1S7-1, and express their thanks for the mercy and favor of Al mighty God, and laying aside all political contentions and all secular occupations, to observe such day as a day of rest, thanks giving and praise. In witness whereof I have beyctit set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington thai treaty -seventh day of OcSober, in the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy fburr and of the Independence of the United States the ninety-ninth. U. S. Grant, e prcsi'eeTl , Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State. Base Ball, About a week ago the Tom Collins elub received a challenge from the East Stronds burg club to plaj a match at the Fair Ground on Saturday Jast. The challenge was duly accepted, and the East Stronds burghers requested the priveiVge, as their nine was rather weak ot taking-in a few outsiders, to which the Tom Collins boys readily consented. On Saturday morning the Captain of the Tom Collins nine, vague rumors reached his ears, visited East Stroudsburg to learn what kind of a nine he was to play against, but Capt. Loder was facetiously inclined and nothing could be learned. In the early afternoon large numbers of our neighbors across the creek were seen wending their way towards the Fair Ground, evidently in the happiest possible mood, contented smiles wreathing the countenance of each. On the ground we found Capt. Loder bustling around fairly grinning with delight. The cause was soon' apparent, the East Stroudsburg consisted of Logan, McCann and Mack from Scraton, Miller and the Barber brothers from the Scrubs of this place, Loder and Tom Dunn from East Stroudsbunr. and lastly Martin from Newark, N. J. one of the old Unions of Morrisania, champions in 'G8, and who has played in the Atlantics of Brooklyn the present season. No wonder East Stroudsburg was happy and Loder grinned. The Tom Collins lads said never a word but took their positions with "subs" in the places of three of the nine. The first three innings things looked blue for the "Plaid Stockings" and Capt. Loder's grin expanded so as to seriously threaten his ears. But on the fourth Holmes went in to pitch and Mclntyre and Walton soon after made their appearance and took their places, by agreement, and then Scranton stock went down rapidly. The game was called before the Tom Collins nine finished their eighth inning an account of darkness. The weather was cold and and disagreeable both Scrubs and Tom Collins findin" their coats comfortable even in the field. Both nines played a fine game notwithstanding numb fingers, the Newark nine hnwovr being far behind their opponents in batting. .mo luiiuwiug 13 me score : E. STBOCDSBUSQ. R. IB. PO. A.

The Ninth Pennsylvania Cavalry, have issued an invitation to all Pennsylvania rrcriments. to meet in re-union at W likes barrc, on June 6, 1875.

Dr. Wrilliam F.irker, of ConnefisviHc, Pa., was arrested on Monday at that place by Isaac Myers, special agent of the Tost Office Department, charged with using the post office for the purpose of defrauding certain persons in London, EnglanJ. His scheme was to write to wealthy people in England, telling them their relations were here in indigent circumstances and that he was taking care of them and requested money for their use. The McConncllsburg Republican says : A couple Sundays ago, during services at the Reformed Church, a snow white pigeon entered the church, and after describing a couple circles in the holy sanctuary, rested on the minister's head Mr. Shade. He drove his strange visitor away with his hand, when it calmly took a position on the Bible and serenely surveyed the con gregation until its removal from the church. It was a pretty and odd change of programme. The English accountants who made a trip to this country to investigate the books of the Erie Railroad Company, made a re port by no means satisfactory to the stock holders and convertible bondholders. The accounts represented by those experts to be quite as fallacious as they were asserted to have been by ex-Auditor Dunan. A little more daylight would bo healthy for almost all our great railroad corporations. Under the circumstances it is not surpris ing that people are selling out of railroads and putting their money into United States bonds, and this they will continue to do. Alexander D.
