John De Young, Associate Judgo of our Court, and one of our most prominent and esteemed citizens, died at bis residence, after an illness of about forty-eight hours. His death will be mourned by all the citizens of this, as well as adjoining counties, and the loss of so useful a man will be particularly felt in this borough. His estimable wife, loving daughter and sons, have the warmest sympathy of the en tive community, in this their terrible be reavement. He died at the ripe age of 71 year?. t'lT No paper will be issued from this cfiicc next week.. PS-Our distinguished neighbor over the wav. in his last week's Democrat, went back on "Benton Mint Drops" and, the "good, old hard Jackson currency" specie and boldly allied himself with the "Rag Barrons, and in favor of an unlimited supply and coo jinuance of the order of paper promises to niir. Iu the days gone by, such temerity weald have cost him his standing in the sparty, and led to a literal chopping oifof his W.itica.1 head. But the Democracy ot tin? tlar is chasce! from the Democracy of the tmzs when Benton, Jackson, Wondburry, Jrundv, King of Alabama and their compeer Jived anl led the onward march of the party. 'They were giants in those days wnere as t.iw days their followers only exist as pig mies, ready to swallow anything and every thing if it only secures them place. And yet our distinguished neighbor's love for paper promises to pay, and mythical representa tions of values, is not of long duration. It 5s bat a shart time a ago, that he let fall a perfect avalanche of abuse of what he de nominated black Republican stuff ia shape of currency, anl njoieed over what he prophe cied to "be the near approach of a return to the time of Democratic Jackson currency, hard money. He was democratic in senti ment then. Now he stands with Kelly, and BaLkr, and Norton, and Logan, and all the other demagogues, at the expense of years of disruption of business prosperity, that a tem porary babble of plenty may swell out only to explode and bring dire financial disaster. We", let him run the race. The pledges of his party, and the chief grounds of their suc j'ess in th.3 recent campaign stand out in con signation of his present course, . and the btrJen of tlie arguments of his own paper ; yr.x-c s,md o:U and accuse him with treaefcery and recreancy to the principles w-LL-h hd Us all aiZ pi -tended to support A number of rery fiii porkers have al- rea iv oeen D&tcBerea ia lli,uu'o nghborhood.

Well, who is going to make a move to wards the establishment of a Normal School in our midst ? Wo observe that Luzerne county is getting awake to the importance of such an institution as an aid to its four hund red and more schools. With the people of that county work follows thought, and the accomplishment of the end sought is almost sure to follow. If we would have the school in this portion of the 4th Normal district, the time to begin to work for it is to-day.

It is a pity tocut such timber, principally j'oung white oak and cheatnut which grows more valuable every day that it stands upon the ground, but then the railroad wants the ties, i nd our farmers want the money they get for lhui, and that end? th question of raluc. BOSS TWEED. The Courts of New York, for several weeks past, at intervals, have been occupied with BossTweed's attempts to get himself re leased from suffering the just punishment for his crimes. The Boss' success thus far has not been of a very encouraging character every attempt having been met with denial, and, as it were, another clinch added to the rivits which hold him to the "island" of which he has right of survey, even if there is a doubt as to his right of coutrol and release. But defeat does not seem to drown the Boss' courage he seems to be impervious to discouragement, and a knock-down to day appears but to strengthen him for grea ter effort to-morrow. Thus, in course he has tried all the minor courts ; and now wc find him knocking at the door of the court of last resort, and, with an array of counsel, formid able because of its talent and knowledge of the quips and quirks of law, determined to leave nothiug undone to secure his end, viz his release from confinement and the enjoy ment of the fortune which, it is clear he rob bed from the tax-payers of the great city which he once ruled. The punishment of so great a criminal, as the evidence in this trial proved the Boss to be, is something in which the whole people of the country have an interest. And yet it will not do to do a just thing, in an unjust or illegal way. If the Court exceeded its right of sentence, or invaded any of those rights which the law, in its desire to do exact justice accords even to criminals, then, much as the people of New York would regret such action, and much as right minded people every where cl.-e would regret it, there should be no hesitancy in wiping out the wrong by declaring that Tweeds incarceration must cease, and. he be restored to his rights of ritizenshio and domicile. It would not do for the court itself to commit a wrong in or der that it might punish another wrong per haps no greater committed by the indivi dual. And this, if the court of appeals find the imprisonment of Tweed an error, would be precisely the position in this matter Tweed a criminal fir the sake of political an necunlarv arrurandizement, and the court a s v - criminal, because of its enforced and unlaw ful invasion of the rights of a citizen, for re vrroe. Tweed and hi3 counsel, and friends claim this to be the status of his case, and there is no doubt the country will be glad to learn, under the decision of Tweed's court o last resoit, whether, there is any foucdatio for the claim. But, as they have a light to expect, so the people will look for a righteous decision o the points at issue. There are but few per sous but believe that in his twelve years sen tence oa the "island, ' more especially in view of the favors shown him there Tweed gets no more than a full measure of his due and hardly so much. They thins tnat as hi crimes were specimens of first class rascality his place aDd mode if punishment should have been in keeping therewith. But few believe that less than the Pcnitentuary, at hard labor, would have come near reaching the maximum of his deserts, aud, hence that there is error in the sentence, it wa error on the side of leniency. And people o this belief will watch the proceedings now in progress for his release with unusual interest They will look for a fair and square renderin of the law in the case, and be content wit nothm less than a decision based upon its plain letter and spirit. A decision upon mere technicalities will not meet their approbation nor secure for the J udical expounder any thing but the contempt which he will have nobly famed for himself, anJ which should brio" up"nhim such scorn, as wald certain !y drive him into disgraceful rctiicmeJt. It cannot be denied but that there those who syu'pa0'56 wUa oss Tweed in his deserved imp.-isoument. They look upon bis recent luxurioiV mcde of living, his un matched political powers, and his immense wealth, and do not hesitate to exclaim what a pity that a man so situated should be held to such an end. But the othr fcide of the question seldom enters their thoughts. How he abused his power, how lie accc'mu'ated his wealth, and bow he lived his .life, thought of at all is only thought of passS ly and dismissed to make room for pity. An J yet, in the use of his political power he was: a tyrant of the first magnitude, in the ac cumulation of his wealth he acted the robber, in villainy far above thousands who are, to day, the world over, expatiating their crimes at hard labor in dungeous and imprisons; in the indulgeuce of his mode of living sensual ity in its most damalle phase cling to him as closely, as bark to the tree. There was noth ing in the whole man but selfishness noth ing that commanded respect, and nothing that in his present straight deerving of pity or of the efforts that are waking to relieve him from those meshes of the law ia which he has been so deservedly caught. Hi3 wealth itself would not be a cause of reproAfh, but his manner of obtaining it righteously places him side beside with the most unre lenting burglar who wears striped clothing in Sing Sing or Cherryhiil. , As we insinuated before justice is a neces sity in the case, and is paramount, but we cannot dismiss the subject without giving expression to the wish, that as Boss Tweed proves to be the first big viilian who has been caught and punished in spite of his ill-gotten wealth, we hope the court of last resort of New York will find it in the law, "and in the facts connected with the trial of his case, to keep him where he is ; unless it can find it within its duty to come nearer his real deserts, and set up in the stone business at Sing Sing. At such a termination of the Boss' effort, through technicality, to evade just punishment there would be heartfelt re joicing from Maine to California from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. nn. r!- A. . . - . -M.3 I ' rn 11,. .livin? n hiirh l.USl.
