Pete COnklin,

the great Clown, is now travelling with the
Rothchild Il Co.'S Show, which exhibits at
Stroudsburg, on Saturday the 18th of
June. The following notice of him we
copy with pleasure "a mighty multitude
of people enshrouded by vast pavilion,
standing stark and cleaning in the moon
light. Pete Conklin = this and no more
says the master of the circle. Thus enters
this young giant of the arena, the King of
testers. Broad, bold, 1.-THE, clearly bent,
clean limbed, lion voiced, the coming man,
amid grand hush and bated breath. He
bounds into the ring, no little rivulet of fun,
but perfect Niagara of good humor.-
Original, powerful, magnetic. This wonder
is sui generis of himself alone, and unlike
all the world. You have seen the cause,
mark the effect. See how he holds this
mighty audience at his will Now gentle
ripple of pleasure murmurs through the
auditorium, as touch of nature makes all
the world akin. Now a squib is thrown,
sharp and quick, and gust, a tempest of
rollicksome, roaring laughter cleaves the
air, until the broad and towering canvass
flaps its mighty wings in answering strokes,
and the centre poles sound their creaking
plaudits, as three thousand hearts leap re-
sponsive to the actors power"

RAILROAD ACCIDENT!

ONE MAN KILLED, AND \ NUMBER INJURED !
The gravel train of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad, on its way to
this place on Monday evening last, jumped
the track at Pequest switch, near Oxford, n.
J., and as a consequence was badly wrecked.
The tender and number of the cars were
broken to pieces and scattered around in DIFF
ferent directions. Mr. Charles Thompson,
(colored, one of the employees of the train,
was thrown from the car on which he sat,
and instantly killed. Lorenzo Dildine and
Adam Bells, the former dangerously, and
the latter seriously injured, and number
Of others badly cut and bruised
The train at the time of the accident was
said to have been running at a rapid rate, and
the wonder is that the fatality was not greater.
Doctors Bush and Miller of East Strouds-
burg were called and rendered the necessary
medical and surgical assistance, and, under
their judicious treatment the patients are
are doing well.

A Scaly Girl.

The Milwaukee Ne,cs says: ''There
was young girl at the police station re-
tently, not over sixteen, with prepossessing
face and a good figure, whose body and
limbs are covered with scales about the
size ofand similar in appearance to the scales
of fish, Medical gentlemen who have ex-
amined her say that shep resents the most ex-
traordinary case of malformation on record.
These scales have the chameleon-like func-
ton exchanging their color The scales on her
arm, while the writer was present, changed
twice from pale amber color to blood red
and back again. They do not overlie each
other as in the case of fish or reptiles, but
appear to be imbedded in the fesh-in
sort of mosaic work and in color changes,
the transformation does not take place at
once in all the imbricated plates, but varies,
some turning red while others retain am
Der color which seems to be the primary
hue

Decoration Day,

Which was celebrated OH Saturday last
all over the country, was attended with
some degree Of interest in Stroudsburg.-
At the appointed time the car conveying
the Sunday School and friends of East
Stroudsburg arrived at the green in front
of the Seminary. The Cornet and BeethO-
ven Bands, of this place, enlivened the oc-
casion with their presence and rendered
some choice pieces of music. On taking
up line of march, the procession in charge
of Capt's Warwick and Combs, as Marshals,
proceeded to the Cemetery where the cere-
monies were commenced with prayer by
the Rev. b. II. Sanderlin, Of East Strouds
burg. The Rev. Goldsmith Carrow, DID.
of Stroudsburg NJ. i. Church, delivered a
stirring and patriotic address, reviewing the
ground gone over in the past during the
sad scenes Of war, the sacred trusts OF
the present in honor Of the illustrious and
patriotic dead, and in his closing remarks
spoke to some extent of the plausibility OF
discontinuing the custom Of Decorating the
graves of the Soldiers, in as much as we
want to bury all thought Of the past con
troyersies and grievances. The remarks ot
the Doctor were well received and very ap
propriate to the occasion.
The procession then proceeded to tho
several burial places, finally to the old bur
rial ground near the Iron Bridge when the
cermonies were concluded with Prayer by
Bro Wilson Peirson, and the Benedictior
by the Rev. B. j. Sandcriin, of Eas
iSuouds5arg.

Stealing a Woman's Hair.

The Susquehanna Gazette says that on
Saturday evening last as Miss Lille,
daughter of f. NJ. Elting, was passing
along Laurel street on her way home from
a nighbor's she heard quick footsteps
following her own. As she increased her
speed the person following increased his
correspondingly. Suddenly the person
grasped Miss Elting by the hair, which
was dressed in the style of long braid,
and with sharp instrument, probably
shears severed it from her head in a second.
Miss Elting screamed and fastened towards
her home. As soon as the william had clip
pen the hair he fastened in an opposite
direction. In his flight he fell fiat upon
the walk As the night was dark and the
man made his approach from hehind, the
young lady was unable to indentify her
assailant.
The object of the williams outrage was
evidently to sell the hair, which COM
mands good price. He richly deserves
to have his hair clipped off, head and all

Our Educational System.

Professor Bonamy Price, altar a careful
study Of the system Of popular education
in this country and the manner of putting
that system in practical operation, thinks
that the United States have had remark
able success in training efficient teachers.
This opinion he applies with peculiar force
to female teachers and he adds that ''nOw-
here in the world at the present time is
better teaching, more accurate conception
of the natnre Of its functions, more agree
able method of handling young people, a
more thorough sympathy between the
minds of teachers and the taught to be wit
messed than among the female teachers Of
the United States" This class of instruc-
tors not only have knowledge, but how to
mpart 1t to others in sure and agreeable
monner. The Professor lays down the
principle, as a starting point, that mere
learning is not enough to make good
teacher. To this must be added "quick
sympathy, the ability to appreciate the pro
cesses Of the youthful mind and a certain
amount of enthusiasm" When these quail,
fieatiOns are united in one person, he Is
fully equipped for the contest with ignOr-
ance and error in the world the battle
field being the school-house, the summary
and the college. The testimony of Pro
lessor Price III behalf of the female teachers
of the United States is the more valuable
because it comes from a man who is fully
quallted to pronounce proper opinion up
on the subject which he treats In his late

How to Treat Cuts.

In treating ordinary cuts, cleanliness and
care are generally more requisite than skill
II the cut be extensive, or an artery vein,
or any other important part be injured, it
becomes a more important matter. Acct
dental cuts from knives, cutting tools,
scythes, etc, are more likely to occur on the
face and limbs than on the body. All that
is requisite in general is to bring the parts
together as accurately as possible and to
bind them up this is usually done by ad-
hesive plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed.
Nothing is as good for this purpose as pa
per previously washed over on one side with
thick gum water, and then dried when
used it is only to be slightly wetted with
the tongue. When the cut bleeds but little,
it is well to soak the parts in water for
few minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on it.
This removes inflammation and pain, and
also tendency to fainting, which cut
gives some persons. If the bleeding be too
copious, daub the part with rag wetted
with creosote. If the wound be large it
should be sewed up. If the blood that Is
sues be very scarlet, it may be concluded
that an artery has been touched, and then,
whenever the bleeding cannot be stopped,
medical aid must be procured the best
method to pursue is to bind up the wound
tightly or to hold finger strongly against
the part that bleeds.

Accident.

Smith and others, neighors, started for the
back woods with number of young cattle
for the purpose of leaving them in pasture
for the summer. All progressed finely until
the party reached short distance above

fell from the wagon in which he was riding,
and received severe cuts and contusions on
the head and shoulders. He was brought

proper attention, and he is, we are pleased
to learn, about recovered from the effects of

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1875-06-03

Many Of our readers have no doubt been
tempted to inquire, what sort of an insect
is the buffalo gnat? The telegraph brings
us accounts of cattle and horses destroyed
in great numbers by them, in Tennessee.
An exchange thus describes them:
''The buffalo gnat, which is causing SO
much destruction among cattle in the
Southwest, is small insect, not more than
half the size Of the house-fy, which sud-
denly appears in the air by millions and
settles upon all four-footed animals within
reach. \ horse or COW will be literally
covered with them at night in the morn
ing the animal will be found dead and
sweled to an enormous size. The bite is
very poisonous, and the wound quickly
testers. Cattle owners find that the most
effective way of protecting their animals
is to cover them with coating of diluted
tar, but if that cannot be done fires are
built and the smoke drives off the insects
Amongst the wild animals, especially the
deer, on the Arkansas side Of the river
the ravages of the gnat are everywhere
apparent. Without any protection, the
deer fall victims in large nambers to this
poisonous insect, which, however, does not
touch man"
