The scalaWags are at their old tricks.
Their mills in the South have been
put to work and are turning out the
same old electioneering provender for
the people. To-day there is another
negro outbreak in Tennessee reported.
1t will be the case from now until the
election, when all these disturbances
outbreaks, outrages and conflicts OF
races, viii subside as suddenly as they
have sprung up. Every hen-roost rob-
berry, or pig-stealing, or drunken brawl
in the Southern States will be paraGed
as so many reasons why the Grant

reelected and allowed to steal all

PITIABLE-On Sunday morning last,
about s o'clock, we noticed citizen of
Stroud township, and we'll known to many Of
the readers of the Jeffersonian, moving to

Joseph Matlack as though waiting for some
one, and we paid no further attention to the
man just then. About o'clock p. NJ, a
friend called on us and stated that the man
was in front Of the Stroudsburg Bank, and
seemed to be laboiing under the delusion
that lie was commanded to stand guard or
the corner. In answer to the question
what were you doing on the corner al
Matlack' p ''He said, | was standing
guard. How came you to change from
Matlacks to the bank corner?" His reply
was, "a fellow came along and did mt dc
right, | chased him across the creek where
[ caught and tied him, and am now at the
corner in pursuance of an order to stand guard
here" We asked him who gave him sucl
orders? He informed us that the order was
communicated to him through pipe in his
ear All the opportunities to induce him tC

RsyH EDWARD L. Wolf and family of this
place, have within the last week moved to
the city of Scranton, with the intention of
making that place their permanent abode
Mr. Wolf is son of Ex-Governor Wolf,
and came to this place about 20 years ago,
and worked for or 10 years on the Ioaroe
Democrat About the end of that time
democracy, so-caed, became too strong for
his olfactories, and from that time to within
:; few days. he has been employed more or
less on this paper. But during the above
time he has acted as assistant post master
respectively, under David Keller, Judge
DeYoung, Theodore Schoch and Mrs. VI. A
lee; in all perhaps 15 or l6 years
Mr.. Wolf is a genial, generous, kind
hearted soul, instiuctivcly inclined to make
himself contcntcd if not happy under sur
rounding circumstances. let them smile or
frcwn. He never borrows trouble, nor allows
it to trouble him much when it comes
As writer, Mr. Wolf is perspicuous and
accurate, rather volu5le free and easy, sar-
castle, or generous, as humor prompts or
necessity requires; and his mental culture
being unusually good, his rare knowledge of
men and things, his great fund Of general in-
formation and his long experience in the
printing Office as well as in the editorial
sanctum, pre-eminently qualify him to sue
cc@sfully drive the quill on or for any paper
As citizen he will be much missed from
our daily walks, as his genial qualities
always ensured him welcome in any circle
We risk nothing in asserting that he carries
with him the best wishes Of all our citizens
for the best of success and prosperity to him
and his, in their new place of abode.

DISAPPEARED. Miss Mary Snyder, lady
who keeps a fancy goods and trimming store
on North Third street, Easton, Pa, on
Saturday afternoon disappeared from her
home, and has not since been heard from.
She has been laboring under depression of
spirits for some six months past, or since the
death of her niece, to whom she was very
much attached. 1t is supposed that her
melancholy has much TO do with her absence.
Miss Snyder is forty-nine years of age, has
auburn hair, and one upper front tooth is
broken. She wore a sage-green alpaca dress,
black cashmere sacque, black velvet hat, and
heavy boots and over-shoes The family are
in great distress about her, no clue of her
movements having yet been obtained. Any
information by which her whereabouts can
be ascertaned will be thankfully received By

MOUNTAIN HOME ENCAMPaIENT, No. 247,
was instituted at Mountain Home, this
county, on Wednesday last The occasion
was one of great interest, not only to the
brethren who reside In that immediate neigh
borhood, but also to numbers from abroad,
who were present and took part in the insti-
tuition ceremonies. The Encampment opened
with twenty-one active members, and the
prospects are that the membership will grow
rapidly and Mountain Home Encampment,
like Mountain Home Lodge, take rank
among the best in point Of numbers as well
as of work. Among the strangers present
we noticed Messrs Stokes, Heiss, Baily,
Lukens and Robbins, all shining lights in
the order. We placed them among the
strangers; and yet they were not strangers,
but brethren in the truest hcartiest sense OF
the word-feeling thoroughly at home not
only in the work of the order, but also with
all with whom they came in contact 1t
does one good to meet such men, and the
brethren of Mountain Home Encampment
felt more in love with the order after witness,
ing and experiencing the mastery manner in
which the work was manipulated. Indeed,
one cannot but feel proud of an order which
has such men enrolled among its leading
spirits.
The following are the officers who were in
stalled on the occasion:

made to the Court, by Mr. Walton, to tenn

taking no interest in it, and as unconcerned

BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-The hair is the
crowning glory of woman. There are few
moderate defects which cannot be remedied
by the proper disposition of the tresses. But
when the hair begins to fall ont, or turn gray,
in young people. or with those in the prime
of life, there is cause for real regret When
this is the case, Halls Vegetable Sicilian
Hair Rene,cer will be found to be first class
remedy, far superior, as a sound medical
medium, to anything else before the public.
1t actually restores gray hair to its original
color, and in the great majority of cases,
causes it to grow again when it is becoming
thin. 1t is not like many popular prepara
tons, mere wash, but scientific discovery,
indorscd and used by physicians of character.
