TszE LAST FENIAN FOLLY.

! The country was surprised on the 18th
inst, to learn that another raid upon Canada
had been attempted by the crazy Fcniar
organization. A body of Irishmen under
'Generals" O. Neil and O 'Donohue crossed
the border at Pembina, but were attacked
and captured by United States troops. The
design seems to have been to enter the Red
fection OF some of the inhabitants would in
duce them to help the Fenians to begin a re-
bellion against the authorities of Canada
AS the Red River insurrection was complete
ly dead long ago, such hope must have
been born of a stupidity and folly which can
hardly be understood by intelligent men,
The attempt to begin campaign under such
circumstances, with handful of men, was
monstrous. 1t had but one merit and that
was the secresy with which the affair was
conducted Hitherto the Fenians have al
ways informed the country of their intended
movements for months before any action was
taken.
We fear that this idiotic expedition is a
direct consequence of the unwise leniency
with which our Government has treated these
Fenians in the past. When arrests have
been made the rank and file have been turn
cd loose without trial, and the leaders have
been pardoned Immediately after conviction.
OF course they felt that they could repeat
the offence without fear of punishment. But
now we hope every captured Irishman will
be tried and imprisoned upon conviction,
and that the President will positively refuse
to interfere. 1t is scandalous for us to per.
NIT these buccaneering expeditions to be or
ganized every year upon our soil against oul
unofending neighbors.

Now that the excitement of the elections
is over, it is to be hoped that Councils will
find time to see to the paving of our walks.
1t isa disgrace to the borough that this neces-
sary work should have been so long post
poned as it has been, and we desire to see a
commencement made the present season. IF
there is anything upon which Stroudsburg-
ers are decided, it is on having the walks
well paved and in good order. BY this time
the work should have been already finished,
and not day should now be lost in getting
it under way.

CHICAGO FIRE.

1 nothing to be done in Stroudsburg, for
- the benefit Of the sufferers by the Chicago
Fire? Men, woman and children, have, as il
were in the twinkling of an eye, been thrown
out of house and home, by the ruthless
destroyer Rich folks have been made poor
and poor folks, at the approach of the most
inclement season of the year, have had theil
wants sadly strengthcned-the poverty
increased to a ten-fold degree. And are we
going to do nothing to help them-nothing
towards feeding and clothing them.
Chicago through her overwhelming mis-
fortune appeals to the world for aid. Her
cry is most piercing and woe-begone. Her
losses are rated by hundreds of millions in
dollars; but oh! who can imagine her
losses in the trials, the tribulations, the suf-
fering which her citizens are compelled to
endure. And the world is responding molly
to her cry. From all quarters the generous
offerings ola deeply symhathising people
are flowing in upon her. The hearts of her
people are being made glad, in the substan-
tial tokens which they are daily receiving,
that hearts unknown to them are open to
their cry, and hands are busy at work contri-
buting to their relief. Are Stroudsburg
hearts and hands taking position in this
Heaven engendered category.
We have said the losses of Chicago are
rated by millions of dollars, and, perchance,
our people may judge from what they read
Of the doingS elsewhere, that the people of
Chicago are being fairly smothered with the
material sent for their relief! Reader, such
j. By no means, the case The contributions
already sent and now sending, in are massive
in their proportions, but they are as a drop
towards bucket full of what is absolutely
needed. There is yet room for more, and
SToudsburg has yet an opportunity to enrol
her name on the scroll with those who so
nolly sacrifice of their Store for the benefit
OF their suffering fellows Let us to work
then. We have already delayed too long,
but there is yet time to quicken our steps,
and come up to the work with spirit that
cannot fail to make us blessed.
Thus far, Stroudsburg has been a very
desert in a realm which has resounded with
words and deeds of sympathy. But there is
an onsis to be found ever here. The fol-
lowing which we publish without comment,
speak in the right language to all societies
among US, and to all classes of our citizens,
i. a meeting of Fort Penn Lodge, No.
l54, 10. OF, held at their Hall, on Satur-
day evening last, the sum Of $25 was donated
for the Chicago sufferers.
The following named brethren were APP
pointed q committee to solicit additional do
nations, viz: Silas L. Drake, J. l. Allen
der, Geo. w. Delong, John S. Fisher, Geo.
Bitteabender, Jacob Kotz and James X.
Harps. We hope the advances of the Com
nittce viii be met with liberality.

aay- WHEN President Grant uttered hi.

B1 WHEN President Grant uttered his
now famous aspiration 'Lut lis have peace
he meant that so far as power was commit
ted to him he would have peace. His proc
lamation to the Ku-Klux bands OF South
Carolina is peace proclamation, and it is to
be hoped that the half crazy disturbers OF
peace and violators of law in that reason will
have sense enough to heed its requirements.
President Grant has some experience in the
art of conquering peace; and it would be
the height of folly for these successors of the
old ''Whippy Swampers' to force the Presi
dent into any more extreme measures. They
are being dealt with undeserved lenience
and if they have not sense enough to appre-
ciate the fact, sterner process must neces-
sariy follow. There is no peace yet, in South
Carolina, and we must have peace.

scranton Correspondence.
SCRANTON. Oct. 18th, 1871


FRIEND ScHoCH We'll, after an absence
of about two months, we again find ourself
comfortably settled in this thriving young
CITY, and, noting the contrast between this city
of magnanmous pretensions, and the dull mo-
notony of life in the country, it is really re-
freshing. The unusual excitement, caused by
the recent election, has in a manner, died out,
and the result, as officially given and espe.
cially the Senatorial ticket-appears to be dis
cordant with the views of even the most prom
curses that are heaped upon the Democracy
of Monroe and Pike. Immediately follow
ing the election, comes the news of the terri,
BILE conhagration at Chicago fire which has
laid waste a large portion Of that garden city
of the earth, and rendered houseless and home
less, nearly 100000 people, who are to-day de-
pendent upon the charity of the people of the
country at large for food and clothing, to save
them from IN ignominious death-a FIRE whicl
has destroyed property amounting in the ag
gregate to upwards of $200,000,0O0. And tn,
alacrity which has been displayed, not only
by the people of this country, but of foreign
countries as well, in answering the call for aid
from the suffering humanity of that doomed
and devastated city is truly marvellous. Th,
subscriptions to the Relief Fund in this city
it is expected, will amount to about SIC, 900 il
cash, besides large shipments of clothing, pro
visions, etc. A grand concert, for the behefi
Of the Chicago sufferers, by the musical talen
of this city, will be given in the Opera Hous,
in short time.
In the way of amusements, we have, of late
been particularly we'll favored. Grady's Cir
Gus, after performing here for several days
broke up for the season. One Of the main fea
lures os this circus was the balloon ascension
which took place every afternoon, and, while
floating through the air, the daring eronaut
performed on the trapeze. Washington Hal
is crowded nightly, to witness the performance
of Lon Chapin's Variety Troupe. This troupe
we believe, have engaged the hall for an in
definite period. The Amy Stone dramatic
constellation gave two entertainments, on Fri
day and Saturday evenings Of last week. Til,
Opera House was well filled each evening
with the cream of Scranton society, to witnes
the performances of this truly meritoriou
troupe, and we had no hesitancy in saying
that as versatile actress, Amy Stone has bu
few equals and no superiors, on the American
stage, while Marston, the famous fat CONNIE
dian, stands unsurpassed. CRITIC.

Letter from CanadensfS.
CANADENsIs, Oct. 10th, 1S7.


Mr.. EDIToE:-On Friday evening, October
18th, the Lodge of the 1. o. of &. T., in this
place, commenced series of public Temper
ance meetings which are to be held monthly.
The meeting on Friday evening was in every
particular success, and if the interest which
the people of Barret township took, and the
meeting increases, the object for which they
are held cannot fail to be attained.
A few words as to the object of the meeting
Many persons have an aversion to Secret So
cieties of any kind, hence, the object of these
open meetings to bring such persons who
would be lost to the inebriates fate to reflect
and stay the course they are drifting. The
Temperance cause cannot become 4 success,
confined as it has been to the four walls OF
the different lodges in our county. The peo-
pie must see and hear the object of the stand
taken by total abstinance men now these
meetings are a step in the right direction, al
though commenced under the auspices of the
Lodge of Good Templars, in this place, they
are in no way connected with it. Again, by
these meetings the home talent of the town.
ship can be better developed, and society in
general-be better benefited thereby. Total
abstainance principles and doctrines can be
held up to the public, thus keeping the ques-
ton agitated and show the duty we owe to
ourselves, our friends and our God The
question of Slavery for years was kept before
the public, ere its abolition was attained, and
shall the question of total abstainance be con-
sidered of less importance when it involves a
question of the slavery of mems souls, lost in
beverage emptied into the stomach to destroy
its vital force and rising and stealing their
brains. The time has come when the people
must take hold of this matter Let political
men have it adopted in their platforms of par
ty principles, for it has become public neces-
sity.
The meeting was well conducted and very
orderly. The opening address was delivered
in pertinent manner by E. F. Palen. The
objections to license system was ably read by
the Rev. T. w. Maclary. The singing was
excellent, and especially song entitled 'Lit-
tie Bessie" by Mary Maclary.
We listened with pleasure to an extempore
speech by lady which was received with in
teres: and deep feeling. Several volunteer ad-
dresses were made the pledge was circulated
with cheering result; the doxology was sung,
benediction pronounced, when we retired to
our respective homes, indulging in pleasant
thoughts of an evening well spent.

THEN AND NOW.

Previous TO the election, the success of tho
Democracy. in electing Buckley McCandless
to the Auditor Generalship, Captain Cooper
to the Surveyor GeneralShip and majority
to both branches of the Legislature for the
same party was well assured The Harris
burg Patriot and Union predicted that il
would be so, and our sap sago" friend
across the way, Of the Monroe Democrat,
vouched for the correctness of the prediction.
Wei the election has come and gone, and
now, just think Of it, Notwithstanding this
predicting and vouching, the Democratic
party this fall is the worse whipped party
that has been upon the face of the earth,
siuce parties begun to have existance. 1t
has been whipped not only by the people at
the ballot box, but it is continuing to be
whipped every day and we should not be
much surprised if, ere the year runs out it is
found to be pounded dead, and buried by its
own members.
1t is melancholy to witness the manner in
which the defeat of the Democracy is re-
ceiyed by It's own press. Instead of praising
Its virtues, and giving vent to expressions of
regret over the action of the people, in refus-
ing to receive so good thing as they de-
clared Democracy to be, before the election,
they actually indulge in an inward chuckIe
over the result, and insist that the party
was defeated because of its own mate rotten
ness, and the deceptiveness of its
own inception. Thus the Easton Sen
tineL insists that it died of ''the New
Departure, y which was meanly hung too as
a means of securing votes, but which proved
the bane out Of which grew its defeat The
Carbon Democrat, holds to the same notion,
and says-''The Democracy so-called,
through the incompetency of It's party record
for the past year in Pennsylvania has de-
feated itself, and then goes to drawing
comfort from raising of the flag, and firing
the great gun, over the victory in the lone
Star State
We might go on and fill columns with
similar extracts from our Democratic cx-
changes, but what's the use. The people
know the Democratic party to be wholly de-
praved, and voted on that knowledge on
the 10th inst, and the result is glorious
triumph of correct principles But what are
we to think Of the Democratic editors, who
urged the people to vote for the standard
bearers of a party, which they now confess
to be so emphatically unworthy of support 2

Blind Toms Concert ,t Holm

head Hall, on Monday evening last, was, be-
yond all cavil the greatest affair that has
ever come off in our borough. The house
was well filed on the occasion, and the per-
tormance such as TO elicit the remark, from
every one present, that Toms performances,
on the Piano Forte, were truly marvellous.
We will not venture even description of
what we saw and heard, much less attempt at
criticism thereon. If Tom had possessed the
brightest of intellect, and had been subjected
to the most rigid scientific musical instruma-
ton, his manner of rendering the several
pieces on the programme would still have
been marvellous.

We made the grand mistake of announc-
ing, last week, that both branches of our
State Legislature was Democratic, when We
should have said Republican. We rather
hated the mistake, but we found compensa-
ton for the bad feeling we labored under, in
the fact that our announcement contributed
somewhat of good feeling to the soul-sick
Democracy hereabouts.

The season fthe "Y car and yellow leaf"
has come, and the country never looked
prettier than now We have often wondered
that pleasure seekers from the cities did not
make this a season for country visiting.
