The Northern Eagle, of the Goth, after
noticing a communication which, it al
leges, appeared in the Herald of last week
in which the Guard House at Easton is
most damagingly reflected on, hopes that
"the Stroudsburg Je6crsonian, ever so
ready to jump to the defense of Provost
Marshal YoHE, viii give little light on
the subject" As friend Cotter has cut
our acquaintance tee totally, and withheld
the light of the Herald from our sanctum
for a month or more, we have no knowl-
edge either Of the communication or its
and cannot therefore comply
with the EagJe's request. But why
should the Eagle prevaricate so grossly,
IS 80 declare that we are sever so ready
to jump to the defense of Provost Mar
shal Yohe" We know of but one in
stance in which we said anything that
could possibly be construed into defense
)f the Provost Marshal, and that was,
when In reply to an article in the Eagle,
written in bad blood and under
'itter disappointment, we defended the
whole Board of Enrolment against most
lnwarrantable attack upon it. The whole
natter was once upon time, since then,
nost thoroughly ventilated, as the Eagle I
7ell knows, and without damage either
D the Board in general, or to Captain
'Ohe in particular. This very matter of

Ayre'S Ague Cure.

Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
quence of the miasmetic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
IN malarious districts, among which are Neu-
algn, Rheumatism, Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpltatlon, Painful Affection of the Spine,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para-
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
on the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This ''Cure" eXpels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike. 1t
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but
it is the cheapest AID moreover is perfectly
safe. No harm can arise from its use, and
the patient when cured is left as healthy as
if he had never had the disease. Can this
be said of any other cure for Chills and Fe-
yer! 1t is true of this and its importance
to those afflicted with the complaint cannot
be over estimated. So sure is it 20 cure the

said to be certain remedy. One Dealer

Return Of 1t. Cicero Draks.

We had the pleasure, on Saturday last,
of welcoming to his home, Lieut.. Cicero
Drake of Co. G, 142nd Reg, 2. V. The
Lieut.. has been a prisoner in the hands
Of the Rebels since July 1st, 1868, pc
Rod Of twenty months, and has, some
What, experienced the tender mercies of
class of people who arrogate to them
selves al Of the chivalry, the honor, the
respcctability and the civilization of the
land In the course Of a conversation
with the Lieut. We secured brief account
of his imprisonment and treatment in
Dixie, which We lay before our readers.
Lieut.. Drake was taken prisoner at the
battle Of Gettysburg, and, after journey
Of seventeen days duration, reached Lib
by Prison, Richmond, Va, on the 18th
of July, 1868. Here he remained for
nine months, suffering from lis confne-
ment, of course, but receiving tolerable
treatment from those who had charge of
the prison until fall, when the starving
process began. From Libby he was sent
to Macon, Ca, where he remained two
months.
At Macon, the suffering of the prison
ers from want Of food and bad treatment.
commenced in earnest. No more food
was allowed the prisoners than suficed to
bare y sustain life. The ration for five
days consumption for each man, was com
posed of one pint of corn meal, one-ffth
of pound Of bacon, one gill of molasses,
and one teaspoon Of salt. At this point
the prisoners were divided into three
divisions, and each division sent to diff
ferent locality. The division to which
1t. Drake was attached was sent to Sa-
vannah, Ca, where the prisoners remain
ed for six weeks, and from thence to
Charleston, S. c., where they remained
three weeks.
At Charleston the treatment of the pris- I
oners was cruel in the extreme. The ra-
fons were even more scant than at Macon, t

discussed freely /; and it was shown TO the
satisfaction of every man present, whose
Indictment was not warped by the bitter
moss Of his feelings against the Provost
Marshal that the Guard House was as
much of an eye sore to Capt. Iohe as 1t
could be to any one else, but that it was
a matter altogether beyond his control
It was shown then that the House, and
its accommodations was under the control
of the military proper, and that, after IN
spection, Gen. Couch had pronounced it to
be Just as it should be- With such judg-
ment on the building, pronounced by the
Maj. General commanding the Depart
ment, it may be readily calculated what
respect would be paid to the efforts OF the
Provost Marshal to alter things; especial
" so when it is considered that such eff
fort would have to be made through the
very man who pronouced the favorable
Judgment. There is no one but what re-
grets that such accommodations are fur
nished to drafted men but certainly nc

innocent man responsible for the evil

A TAxIDERMIsT.-And what is taxider-
mist? Nota collector of taxes, or an assessor
of taxes, but one who prepares, stuffs and
mounts birds, beasts and creeping things. or
this kind is Mr.. JOSEPH BATcHELDER, whose
place of business is a few doors above our of
fee, on the opposite side of Exchange Street.
He prepares and mounts all kinds of birds
from canary to an eagle, both land and wa
ter birds, preserving their natural, life-ike APP
pearance, and the charge for such work is so
low that we were absolutely surprised at the
small amount of money required to get up a
set of family pets that will make no demand
upon ones resources, and require no watching
or care to keep them from harm or mischief
Mr.. Batchelder skins the birds aud then tans
the skins by a process that renders them per-
fectly safe against moths, aud so that the
feathers will hold on with the tenacity of life.
We advise those who, in their sporting excur-
sions, secure any rare birds, or those of rich
plumage, to send them to Mr.. Bachelor, who
will preserve their form, beauty and life-lke
appearance; everything about them that is
pretty except their life and song, but Invested
of all expensive and offensive habits. Il

WE regret to announce the death of Hiram
Winslow of Co. K, 10th Maine Volunteer Reg.
iment. he was noble soldier and performed
the many duties assigned t, his care as every
loyal soldier should. He was houored nv
all who knew him, and he is greatly mourned
by his many friends. At the breaking ont OF
the rebellion he left fond mother and dear
Orotners to aid our country in her hour of
peril he served his time in the three months
volunteers as an able soldier. He then re EN-
listed IN the 10th Maine regiment and served
us Time faithfully in this regiment also, and
even then would not remain at home, and en-
listed as private in the 10th regiment then in
the field, where he here remained up to the
time of his death. He was wounded some
three or four months ago in the hand. He re-
turned home and remained a short time. He
then went back to his regiment, was taken
sick, obtained a furlough and arrived home
Wednesday afternoon and died very suddenly
Thursday afternoon. He was promising
young man and had large circle of acouain-
tances, who not only respected but will feel
that they have lost very dear friend and
true and noble soldier who loved his country
and was willing to sacrifice dear home, loved
companions, and life itself to asenge our coun-
try's wrongs. Oh beautiful the thought, it is
sweet and glorious to die for ones country.
Two of his brothers are at the present time in
the army, one veteran of the 10th Maine
regiment now member of the LIST Maine cav
airy, formerly of Bakers D. C. cavalry. 1t
will be sad tidings that they will hear from
home that another has departed to that better
lanc where there is no war, no bloodshed. Oh
that all were like him, SO unselfsh and so kind
and we trust it is so. His dying words ex-
pressed that Heaven is his home. We can
deeply feel for the widowed mother and family
in this their great hour of peril, and may the
absent sons be permitted to return and COM
fort the declining years of their now muchly
bereaved parent.
