DEATH OF EX-rRESIDENT FILLMORE

Millnru Fillmore died on the 9th
inst, ut tho rip" old age of74 years.
Born OF humble parontagc, apprcn-
ticcd as 4 wool-carder, he rose, by his
own merits and hard labor, to the po-
sition Of Nicc-Prcsidcnt, and by the
dcatl, of Gen. Taylor to the highest
position in his native land,-a position
he filled, in times of great sectional
bitterness, with honor to himself and
profit to his country. Mr.. Fillmore,
from the far North, has left to all Sec
lions of the Union an example worthy
of study and imitation, and his demise
brings to every hearthstone the regret
that the country has left but few men
like him. Funeral honors of every
kind have been shown his memory.
He sinks to rest by SAL his country's
honor'S blcst.'

About week ago the Tom Collins club
received a challenge from the East Strouds,
burg club to plaJ a match at the Fair
Ground on Saturday last. The challenge
was duly accepted, and the East StroUds-
burghers requested the priveltge, as their
nine was rather weak OF taking N a few
outsiders, to which the Tom Collins boys
readily consented. On Saturday morning
the Captain of the Tom Collins nine, vague
rumors reached his ears, visited East
Stroudsburg to learn what kind of a nine
he was to play against, but Capt. Loder
was facetiously inclined and nothing could
be learned. In the early afternoon large
numbers of our neighbors across the creek
were seen vending their way towards the
Fair Ground, evidently in the happiest
possible mood, contented smiles wreathing
the countenance of EACH On the ground
we found Capt. Loder bustling around
fairly grinning with delight. The cause
was soon apparent, the East Stroudsburg
consisted of Logan, McCann and Mack from
Scraton, Miller and the Barber brothers
from the Scrubs of this place, Loder and
Tom Dunn from East Stroudsburg, and
lastly Martin from Newark, N. j. one of
the old Unions of Morrisania, champions
in '68, and who has played in the Atlautics
OF Brooklyn the present season. No wonder
East Stroudsburg was happy and Loder
grinned. The Tom Collins lads said never
a word but took their positions with "subs"
IN the places of three of the nine. The first
three innings things looked blue for the
"Plaid Stockings" and Capt. Loder's grin
expanded so as to seriously threaten his
ears. But on the fourth Holmes went in
to pitch and Mcintyre and Walton soon
after made their appearance and took their
places, by agreement, and then Scranton
stock went down rapidly. The game was
called before the Tom Collins nine finished
their eighth inning an account of darkness.
The weather was cold and and disagreeable
both Scrubs and Tom Collins finding their
coats comfortable even in the field. Both
nlnes played fine game notwithstanding
numb fingers, the Newark nine however
being far behind their opponents in batting.

The following proclamation was promul

By the President of the United States Of America
A PROCLAMATION.
We are reminded by the changing seasons
that it is time to pause in our daily avoca
tions and offer thanks to Almighty God for
the mereics and abundance of the year
which is drawing to close. The blessings
of a free government continue to be
vouchsafed to US, the earth has responded
to the labor of the husbandman, the land
has been free from pestilence, internal
order is being maintained, and peace with
other powers has prevailed.
1t is fitting that at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pursuits
and from the turmoil of our daily lives, and
unite in thankfulness for the blessings OF
the past, and in the continuation of kindly
feelings toward each other. Now, there
fore, recognizing these considerations, l,
Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend to all citizens to as
semble IN their respective places of worship
ON THURSDAY, THE TWENTY SIXTH DAY
OF NOVEMBER, 1874, and express their
thanks for the mercy and favor of Al
mighty God, and laying aside all political
contentious and all secular occupations, to
observe such day as day of rest, thanks
giving and praise.
In witness whereof I have bereaRte set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this tFenfy-
seventh day of October, in the year one
thousand eight hundred and seventy
foUE, and of the Independence of the

The particulars of the sudden death of Mr..
VIM. Frankenfeld, which so startled our
community on Wednesday of last week, as
we have learned them are about as follows.
Mr.. F. sat down to his breakfast, apparently
in his usual health, eat hearty meal and
when done rose up, when he remarked to his
family that there was something strange the
matter with him. The family becoming
alarmed at his condition sent for some of the
neighbors Among the first to arrive was
Esquire Drake, who helped the sufferer to
the water closet, where he was attacked with
excessive vomiting When this ceased the
Squire helped him into the house, when he
commenced sinking rapidly, and in a short
time expired. Mr.. Frankenfeld had been
for number of years an active member and
class leader in the Methodist Church of this
place and always ranked as one among the
most exemplary Of our citizens. In his de-
pertinent he was ever modest and unassum-
ing, and in bis life was ever apparent the
virtues of the earnest, God loving christian
His family, in his sudden death, has met
with loss incalcuable in extent, and CON-
munity mourns the loss of member whose
memory will remain green in remembrance,
because of his noble christian character. The
sympathies Of our whole community flow
earnestly but tenderly towards the widowed
wife and children in this their sad, sad,
bereavement.

OF the utility of the Jefersontan as an

none of our advertising friends have reason
to complain. As general thing a good
paying subscriber to paper is good pay

and that those who are lack in coming for

on our subscription list. And this is, by
