tiOH Of a. Child.

On Wednesday afternoon, 1st inst. as
two boys, sons, of a Mr.. Ross (of the firm
of Ross Shott & Co. Market. street.. were
playing in front Of their fathers residence,
Germantown, two men in light carriage
drove up, and persuaded the children to
get in with them. The children did So
and were driven off When evening cama
and the children were still missing agony
of the parents can be better imagined than
described. Search was made in eyerydi
rection, the police were appealed to, and
everything was done that could be done to
obtain a clue to the whereabouts Of the
missing little ones.
The next day the Oldest ono-agedfye
years-was found by the police in the up
per part of the city and restored him to
his parents. The story which he tells Is
that the two men after getting himself and
brother into the carriage, drove off at
furious rate of speed, and quicted the chi-
dren by telling them that they were on.[
taking them out for little ride, and would
soon convey them home again. This did
not satisfy the boy and he cried to 60 home
at once. The men fearing exposure. tf
the boy was able to tell his name and resi-
dence, finally drove up in front ola cH'
dictionary store, and giving the boy s0n'
money bid him to get out and buy some
shooting crackers. The boy gIadLy az
cepted the invitation. but the moment he
disappeared in the shop, the men v1II'
ped up the horse again, and left HIM. he
next found himself in the hands OF 'l'
police and was restored to his home

a@y=We observe that the Scranton Repab-
dcan has lost It's love for +. H. Mast, the
celebrated caricaturist, and its reverence for
the equally celebrated Harpers Weekly.
Time was when the Republican gloried IN
both, anl accorded them positions but little
below the level of Saints in the political
calendar. But then Mast and the |iee5,(y
were engaged in the laudable work of elect
ING the nominees of the Republicans to the
Presidency and Vice Presidency Doubtless
the Republican will agree with US, at least
we believe it would have done so III 1870,
that, Joined with its own lucubrations, Mast :
single pencil did more for the routing OF
united Democracy and liberalism than was
accomplished by all the pens and prOsey
d:atr.bes of all the Republican Editors be
sides. But now itisouvox that is being gored.
Mast has turned his caustic pencil against the
noted corruptions of hitherto prominent
Republicans, and in the estimation Of the
ReDuJ}cua. the great thunderer Of the cam
paign has become the foreign gentleman
who gets up the pictures for the Weekly -
the BLASTED Engishman' we presume-and
the Weekly itself mot bit better than 1t
shouldb =" We opine that this will not prove
the yedict Of the great mass of Republicans
They believe that the party can thrive best
on purity, and If Mast and the Weekly sue
cced half as well in Kidding the party of the
corruption smuggled into Its high places by
corrupt men, as they did in making General
Grant President they will certainly deserve
and receive as prompt and tangible reward.
That the efforts of Mast and the Weekly
strengthened up the shattered hulk Of the
party in 1870 SO as to secure it the victory,
viii not admit Of doubt. IF by the same
means they can secure its permanence b
Kidding it of Its corruptions and It's blood
sucking vampires, they viii have performed
work. if possible still more worthy Of com
mendation and reward. We certainly did
HOT expect to find the Republican pulling an
oar in that boat, and we are surprised at it.
We hope this last phase which it has as
suncI Of mourning over the groans Of expos
ell cmruptiouists, viii prove its greatest and
o4iy iyly in that direction.

Zee Cream by Wholesale.

We were astonished, and we think our rea-
ders will also be, to learn that our enterprising
townsman SAMUEL HUFFMAN, ESQ, shipped
by Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Express,
on the Sd of July, one and three quarter tons
of ice cream to Scranton, Pittston, and Wilkes
barre. There can be no possibility of doubt as
to the truth of these facts, for we by the merest
accident got them from the Express office our
selves without the knowledge or expressed
wish of MI Huffman or any one else for him.
We are exceedingly gratifed at Mr.. HIS sue
cess, and would remark that the secret of it
lies in two prominent facts, namely, strict pune
tuality in filling ORDERS and the excellent quail
ity Of his ice cream, which we can say, with
the utmost freedom, is universally admitted,
by all who know any thing about 1t, TO be just
about perfection itself.

-" Cur Republican cotempOrarles, many
or gb1m, are getting lachrymose in their re
grets. that certain of the long continued
Republican members of Congress, are about
retiring from that body, either Of their own
volition, or because their constituents do not
dcsire longer to retain them there We see
10 reason to cry over this. On the contrary,
We firmly believe that their retirement should
be rather a cause Of rejoicing. The Repub-
lcan party is not so bad off for material that
It's representative men should be led to be
lave that the Offices Of right should belong
to them. I.ife-tenures are the creation of
the old barbaric era Of the Divine right
dogma, and should have been expunged from
our political vocabulary years ago. Nomat-
ter who it is, whether Dawes, or Hoar, or
Z Butler, or who, let him go, and we shall
soon see his place supplied by man fully
his peer in all things save, we hope, suspi-
cious dalIyiDgs with Credit Mobiller stock,
Chorpenuing claims, saIry grabs, est ct onaaey
genl.s.
It Is good to have public men retire to
private life if only to convince ourselves,
that, politically, there are as good fish in
the sea as ever was caught" Besides, on
the principle that the new broom always
sweeps clean it is good, in the new member,
to have a chance to get rid Of much of the
corruption and time wasting, which attaches
and clings so closely to the skirts of the old
stager. The average new man generally
means and acts business. He is not yet
learned in the science Of show not to do it,
and if retirement is held as a rod, IN teyrOra1a,
over him the probabilities are that he never
will make it study, and the people will be
vastly the gamers thereby. No, we say LET
the congressional patriarch retire in peace,
aud if we could make the rule Of one or two
terms infexible we have not the shadow Of a
doubt but that the country and its business
would be the better forit. We entertain the
highest respect for the patriarchs who at the
close Of their present term, will bid Congress
good by, but this does not prevent US from
extending to each and every one Of them
whether Republican or Democrat, mos
cheerful farewell

Doctor Vests Pardon.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T may not occur to
your correspondent from Dover, and to
the editor Of the Transcript, from which
you quote, that the conditions on which
the Governor proposes to pardon West,
is: 'That he leave the State and not
return" The Governor has made ar
rangements with the Attorney General
to see that the conditions are complied
with. West has not consented to accept
the conditions, as he now has only i've
months longer to stay, and then he can
best. If he does accept such q condition
al release, it will be at the instance Of
his wife's father, John Slay, Esq, and
in consideration Of his wife's health.
She is now in very delicate health, being
afflicted with disease Of the lungs. 1t
is the hope of the most influential part
of the community, not friendly to West,
that he may accept the terms which the
Governor proposes; then he cannot re-
main hero to be terror to the people.
Ii he does accept, Mr. Slay says, he
(West) will leave the United States
within few weeks. The West family,
which is a, very respectable one, is op-
posed to the acceptance Of the eondi-
good thing for the county; it would be
clear Of further expense on him, or any
dread of him. Instead of agreeing with
the Transcript, we think the Governor
will do good thing for the county and
State il he is so fortunate as to get rid
of such an outlaw. The Governor has
the facts of the case, and has been
studying it for months, and we know he
will do what he believes to be for the
best, and all good citizens will be salts
| fed at what he may do. S. II.
