l.imsflf very much pleased with Strutiisburg

ZkSrAnd there was joy and gladness in the
Democrat office on Thursday morning last,
o'cr the appearance of the Jrff, And Mitt
and our distinguished neighl'or over the way,
and the Congressman and the Doctor were
happy. The Brodheadsvillc pole raiting was
;i grand affair, and it needed but a proper
report of its attendant doings and sayings to
a !d to the honor and glory of those who par
ticipated in it. Our distinguished neighbor
was equal to the occasion intellectually and
ho were Mitt, and the Congressman and the
Doctor co.ua! to the occasion, Lut they an
,-i!l modest rccn. as tlicy are honorable, and
their modesty forbade their going into more
than a more outline account of it a mere
dealing in the generalities without going into
the particulars. They were the chief actors
on the occasion, and it would look too much
Hike "piling it on," if in their description
they stuck to the text and told what the
manager in our distinguished neighbor, the
ring master in our distinguished Congress
man, and the-grimaldi, in our distinguished
Hoc-tor, and Mitt, had done. And on-y thi:
they must have told, for no body else took
jirt, if we lay aside lhe labors of the hewers
if wood and drawers of water, who did noth
ing more thau cut the pole, dig the hole and
elevate the power of Democracys hickory
emblem towards Heaven ; and the labors of
that other class who feed the fires of the
patriotic pyre by piling on the liquid fuel,
Jin 1 gave Democratic zest to the occasion by
in lulling those laughable little contra tempi
which alwas result in innocent knock-downs
a: id hiih-toned rowdyism. The muscular
labors were nothing. It was the intellectual,
oratorical labors that were exhausting and
.snci iticing, and these were undergone only by
he very men who alone were expected to
yplay the praises of the afiair ou Democracys
onran the Democrat. It war; a dilemma in
which they were placed, and but for the op
portune forethought of the Ji ff, in providing
si way nnt (hey would have lain swamped in
the dilemma to this day. Hut the Jtjf. always
equal to the oecason, was on hand to meet
the emergency this time. We make no boast
over what we did, as it is common with us
to do things about right, but it does rejoice
u so much to think that we so thoroughly
relieved our distinguished friends from the
2rep!oxing difficulties of their position and
draw from them their heartfelt thanks
and cachinatious over a thing so well
l.ne so graphic in description, so truth
lu! in particulars and so justly right in
-every respect. Not seeing us present
oar distinguished neighbor and his and our
'mutual friends" were fearful of Deglect
mi our part, but they n?ed entertain no such
tfears on any occasion, for we always have a
little bird hovering around their heads who
Thjvcr fails to bring us details in full of all
they say, do or even think. We have taken
Democracy under our especial care, and, we
flitter ourself that we shall not fail to be just
to it. It is gratifying to observe that our
distinguished neighbor's face, usually sombre,
has been wreathed in smiles ever since the
uppearance of the Jeff, on Thursday last

William M. Tweed has spent one year in
prison, and it being contended that the
action of Judge Davis, in sentencing him
to an additional year upon each additional
count of the indictment was illegal, Lis
counsel have moved for his discharge. The
New York Times says that the opinion is
largely held in legal circles.that the motion
for discharge will bo successful upon
technical grounds. Even if this should
prove tru3, the victory of the people over
a great political robber will not be lessened,
f r it consisted chiefly in the fact that
Tweed, who controlled courts of law as
well as the myriad courts of politicians,
was by one of the former convicted, and,
being convicted, made infamous bv beimr
branded and punished as a felon. It does
not greatly matter, except as to his per
sonal inconvenience, whether he remained
in a common convict's ceil for one vear or
a dozen. The law has vindicated its in
tegrity by proving that the greatest as well
as the least criminal can be brought to book
and made to pay the penalty cf his crimes.
In fact, there is little need to keep this
obese, broken and ruined old man longer
in jail. The record of his conviction can
not be blotted out, the mark of the convict
is on him, and the prison garb he has worn
for a day or a year can never be hiddn from
even his own eyes by the glossiest broad
cloth, ever woven. The finest linen he
can buy shall chafe and tear his flesh and
5pfrJt worse than the Shirt of Nemesis.
If he had stolen a thousand millions he
could not now enjoy them, for at no feast
at which he might sit could he forget the
black bread of his prison. He wrought
for his reward, and has gat It. It is scar
cely worth while to pursue . him further
with the torture he has endured for a whole
year, for the ignominy, shame and disgrace
which he Las been made to suffer he shall
t-arry witb him to his not distant grave.

Williamsport, Dec. 1. A jury to-day
rendered a verdict of murder in the first de

of the murder.
Scranton's Chief of Police Charged

and J. II. Schlager were arrested to-day for
the murder of Michael Kearney in Scranton;
on the 14th nit., and were brought here this
afternoon, Judge Dana has granted a writ
of habeas corpus returnable to-morrow, when
the question of admitting them to bail will
be argued.
The patriotism engendered by the Brod
headsville pole raising, has hardly yet ceased
bubbling. A display of its effervescing qual
ities was exhibited here, on Friday last, when
a knock down and a complaint and a warrant,
and no arrest, was the consequence. The
grand objection to these Democratic jubilee
manifestations is that they last too long, and
prove too serious in their consequences. But
this, we presume, is for want of practice
partly, and partly because of a pride which
cannot brook even to a good natured oppo
nent for instruction as to how it should be
done.
o
When will our borough fathers take
proper measures to break up the rowdyism
and drunkeness which so often, of nights,
prcvades our streets and disgraces our
borough? When will our "police," one horse
in number, be so augmented as to be able by
making arrests to make examples as warn
ings, for evil doers not to indulge in and re
peat the offence? We feel humiliated over
the fact that these things can occur here with
impunity and we want to see a change.
Stroudsburg used to have a reputation wel
earned, of being a sober quiet town a pleas

plain. To tho work, O'Fathers!

The wages of trackmen on the D. L.
W. Railroad are said to be $1 per da', with
rainy days deducted. With prices of living
so high, and the prices of coal in the market
nearly if not quite up to the war time, we
would like to know the reason for this illiber
ality. No trackmans work will average over
twenty days per month. This will make but
twenty dollars out of which to pay rent, fue
and doctor bills, and clothe, and feed himsel
and family beside. Only think of it an
this is the work of a company making thous
ands for dividends dailv. Men cannot live
on this, and if Sam. Sloan, end Moses Tay
lor and Superlative Piety Dodge think they
can, let them change places with the track
men for a month and seo. Tho order fixing
this rate of wages is simply an outrage upon
humanit', and there should ba a means
devised to prevent its being enforced. Cor
porations should be compelled to show that
they understand the character of a soul, even
though thoy make no sign of the possession
of one. One dollar per day for contributing
by hard work to the earning the wealth of
corporations, which allows its officers and
stockholders to revel in luxury! Think of
it ! The companies have entered into a com
bination to enforce this thing. Now let the
legislature enter into a combination this
winter, and see whether they cannot de
vise some plan to wipe out the outrage.
This is a free country, ft is true, but no
one should be allowed freedom to grind the

members of Minisink Tribe to our worthy bro

and trust that through the agency of the Great
Spirit, who doeth all things well, the dark
clouds may be dispelled by the sweet consola
tion, that his dear ones have entered the hap

fire of love bumeth fur ever and ever, and that
he may be encouraged and strengthened to
bear patiently the lot assigned to him on earth,
with the hope of meeting his dear ones in the

The "Liberal Republicans" who have
been working with the Democrats for two
or three years past are getting very little
consideration in return. Whenever the
Democrats succeed the rewards of victorv
go to their own men, and not to their
"Liberal" allies. Senator Schurz, the most
brilliant, sagacious and useful of all the
Republi can leaders who have fallen out by
the w-ay, will be a conspicuous. example of
Democratic ingratitude. His term will ex
pire next sprimr, and it is already under
stood that the Democratic Legislature of
Missouri docs not mean to recognize him
as having any claim to re-election. They
intend sending to Washington another
Bourbon, like Bogy, whose ideas of politi
cal economy are of the thinnest and crudest
kind. Schurz is a statesman whom any
party might be glad to claim as its repre
sentative, but he is too independent and
liberal to suit the victorious Democrats,
lie can stand it, however, quite as well as
they.

Thanksgiving passed off, in this borough,
very pleasantly, quietly and well. The Tur
key, after months of gobbling, was duly gob
bled by those who were able to raise one, and
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and the good
things of the season, vanished as rapidly as
snow before a summers sun. Those who had
not these things feasted on something else,
and those who had nothing, (of whom we
hope there were none,) went hungry to bed,
or feasted, in imagination on the good things
they supposed their neighbors enjoyed. Wc
are inclined to think, from observation that
the number of these latter existed only in
myth, for every face we met during the day,
wore an expression of happiness aud thank
fulness. The religious observances of the day com
prised a union service in the morning in the
M. E. Church, at which the Rev. Dinsmore
preached an exceedingly appropriate and
excellent sermon ; and services in the
Lutheran Church, and in the Ortho
dox and Hieksite Friends meeting
houses. At all these meetings there was a
flavor of thankfulness that could not fail to
act as a refreshing to the Christmas present.
In the afternoon a prayer and praise meeting
were hold in the Y. M. O. A. hall, under
the auspices of the Association. It was a
pleasant meeting and the exercises could not
have failed to work for the edification of
those present.
Mine Host, Whitescll, of the Stroudsburg
House, impressed with the appropriateness
of the surroundings and connections of the
day, gathered a host of friends around his
hospitable board, and about as pleasant a
crowd as ever assembled gathered in his din
ing hall. It was a thanksgiving extension of
hospitality, and the table literally groaned
under the weight of good things with which
it was loaded. The guests did full justice to
the occasion, and yet more than enough was
left to make half a dozen feasts of no small
magnitude. We regretted that a previous
engagement kept us from yielding to our hosts
invitation to be present, for we know we
missed much in missing the genial intercourse
with our new and agreeable landlord, let
alone the good things prepared for the occa
sion. Beethoven Cornet Band aud Glee
Club enlivened the festivities with excellent

Esses county, Massachusetts, wus-vLiitcd
by a genuine earthquake on Tuesday cveu
ing last week about five o'clock. The
shock is said to have been alarroingly
distinct. Wooden and brick buildings
were violently rocked to and fro, crockery
was tumbled around and smashed, doors
and window-3 sprung, and everything port
able was more or less disturbed. Men,
women and children, frantic with fear, ran
into the streets, and the utraor.t excite
ment prevailed in the rango of country
visited, which appears to have been ail
along Cape Ann , coast. Tho sound is
described as having been a sort of low but
violent roar, culminating in explosions like
cannon, or blasting rocks. Buildings and
and property were injured to some extent,
but no lives were lost. The fact of the
earthquake having accurrcd in Ben Butler's
Congressional district, is a subject of amus
ing newspaper comment.
Judge Blatchford, in tho United States
District Court at New York, has made a
decision of great interest to all persons
holding stock in national banks. The ease
was that of the Receiver of the Eighth
National Bank of that city, against Ii Mr.
Checseman, to compel him, as a stockholder,
to make good his quota of the deficiency
in order to secure depositors. Tho court
held that stockholders in national banks
will be held liable, as prescribed by the law,
as long as they allow their names to re
main upon the books of the bank, ne
glecting to transfer their stock upon the
books to another holder, who shall thus
accept and succeed to the responsibility.
It has been generally thought that the
mere transfer, without entry upon the
books of the bank, was a release of all
liability upon the previous holder ; but,
under this decision, stockholders must
see to it that their transfers are of re
cord. If this requirement be neglected
they are are still responsible, though they
may really not own a dollar of the stock.

to be in receipt of $75 a day for winking
at Chinese gambling. 0
A short-homed steer was butchered in
Detroit recently which weighed 4.110
pounds alive, and yielded 3,000 pounds of
uresea Deer. 1 ins is believed to be the
largest animal ever slaughtered for beef on
this continent.
The election result in Massachusetts is
the most curious of all. While Gaston,
Democratic candidate for Governor, has
nearly 7000 majority, the Republican Lieutenant-Governor
is elected by' 12,000 and
the Republican Auditor has over 22,000
majority. These are singular facts, show
ing that the voters oftheStato knew ex
actly what they were doing.
Dividend to Jay Cocke's Creditors.
On the 1st day of December the commit
tee appointed by resolution of the creditors,
will sit for the purpose of exhibiting u state
ment of tho condition cf the estate in thvr
hands and distribute the same to the best
advantage of all concerned. Tho commit
tee will continue in session from day to dav
until the 12th of Dee. Mr. Lewis, the
trustee, has about $1,000,000 in hand,
subject to the payment of claims of the
creditors, but not more than half this sum
will be divided. The first dividend will be
four or five per cent., but it is estimated
the estate will eventually yield 75 per cent,,
some of the assets having increased lately
in value. Some believe Congress will come
to the relief of the North Facific Railroad,
but this is a forlorn hope.
The Cost of Living.
Valuable statistics in regard to the com
parative cost of living in America and
Europe are given in the last Massachusetts
Labor Report :
;One dollar will buy twenty pounds of
uour in Boston, one or two pounds more
in several European seaports, but the same
or considerably less in a majority of the
places compared. In Boston one dollar
will buy 5.56 pounds of fresh beef, roast
ing piece. In no place in England will it
buy so much by a pound or more, and in
Europe still less, Copenhagen being the on
ly given where it will buy more. Butter
in Europe averages a pound more to the
dollar than here, cheese less by more than
that, except in a few spots. As for pota
toes they are cheaper hero than in Eng
land, and dearer than in Ireland or Gor
man'. Seven or eight pounds of pork for
a dollar are sold here, and not over half as
much can be obtained for that sum in Eng
land or Europe, and nowhere as much, fn
rice, milk and eggs they have the advantage
of us. Tea cofcts less here than in England,
but more than on the continent, "with'
coffco it is about the same, though the dif
ference is little. In sugar the British are
a little better otr, the continentals a good
deal worse. Coal is cheaper here than in
Germany and dearer than in England.
Merrimac or common prints, arc choaper
here than anywhere in England or Europe.
Boots are about the same here as there,
generally speaking. There aro but two or
three places in England or the continent
where brown sheetings aro cheaper than
here, while in brown shirtings tho for
eigners generally are better off. Rent for
four-roomed tenements, is from two to four
times cheaper in Great Britain and on the
continent than in Boston, in Austria fif
teen times cheaper. Board also is from
once and a chalf to twice as cheap in Europe
and Great Britain as iu Boston,
