The primitive method of abstracting
teeth in Scranton is thus described by a
correspondent of the New York Ex-
press:
One end of firm hemp spring was
fastened upon the aching member, while
the other securely tied around bullet
pdrposely notched, was put in the barrel
of an old hintlock musket, loaded with
an extra charge of powder. When all
was ready, the desperate operator caught
hold of the gun, and let drive Out
few the tooth, and away bounded the
musket several feet.-This mode of ex.
tracing teeth became the chosen and on
iy mode practised in this region 70.
many years.

THE SPEECH OF Gov. SEWARD, in the u. s.
Senate yesterday, in opposition to the Lecompton
fraud and the policy of which it is the fitting con-
summation, is given entire in our columns this
morning. We think no one can rise from its care
full perusal without higher estimate of its author
and profounder appreciation Of the great cause
of Liberty in Labor which has enlisted his nobest
energies, and is now srousing the enthusiasm of
the country.
In Gov. Stewards, as in any exhaustive speech
at this day on the affairs of Kansas, there of
course many facts stated with which intelligent
readers are already familiar; yet though the theme
be hackneyed, its treatment by Gov. S. is emf
nenty original and forcible. His opening state
mtnt Of the great issue which underies the Kansas
controversy-his scathing review of the partisan
jugge1y and usurpstion of the Supreme Court
in deciding the Dred Scott case-his closing de-
monstraton of the futility well as injustice and
impolicy of the attempt to force Slavery upon
Karsas-wil secure for this Speech high rank
and lasting remembrance among the authors foren-
SIC effects. We beg those who may be repelled by
ts length to read at least the last quarter of it,
Having done that, they will need no nducement to

necessary far your.city is concerned since all
who choose now indulgeih that laudable occupa.
tiOn Among the changes proposed are the rednc-
ton Of the price Of license to the uniform sum
of Si5, and in the City Of New-YOrk TO appoint
four Boards Of COmmissiOners--Ope for each Sem
ate District 30 ss to add to the facilities for grant
ing licenses; the abolition Of the provision IN re-
gard to the traffic on the Sabbath: the abolition OF
the provision requiring the petition of twenty free
holders or hOusehOders residing within the Election
district where il is proposed 70 keep tavern or
hotel as q condition o. granting license; the
granting of retailers license tO the corner groceries
and the abolition Of the fne Of $50 for selling without
license and the making of such selling InisdemeanOr.
One good provision and one only, Of the present
law If License law can have good proyision),
