Mr. B. and family left for Chicago yester-

Rev. VIM L. GRAY of the Easton, Pa,
N. 4. Church, preached in the NJ. Il. Church
in this place Oh Sunday morning and eve
ming last. The Rev. gentleman was on this
circuit about 90 years ago, as few Of our
citizens remember. Mr. Gray is pleasing
speaker, and as we learn well entertained
the audiences both morning and evening, as
we'll as the sunday school which he addressed
in the afternoon. His over thirty years SER
vice seems to. sit lightly on his physical
system, as his good physique is remarkably
well preserved.

geg The Easton Argus like the Southern
hunter, puts Its assertions a little too far
apart either for consistency or comfort. La
one part of his paper he says that "the
Stroudsburg JEFFRsoNIAN has not yet been
Informed of this little pick up by the Maine
Statesman" meaning the $64, 900 grab
alleged against Mr. Blaine. In another part
OF his paper he goes TO catechising us as to
the political predictions Of paper, of
whose politics we have 10 more knowledge
than the man in the moon, showing after all
not only, that we had heard Of the ''little
pick up" but that the ArJas knows that
we had heard Of it and noticed it as it
deserved. Onc Of our notices was a stray
waif copied from an exchange, and we pre-
samed the assertion it contained, that the
charge was made by an indianapolis Demo
cratic paper, was correct. Mr.. Blaine has
not only explained, but has also triumphantly
refu;ed the SANDER, we trust even to the
satisfaction Of so great a stickler as the
caterer for the Argus.

rg~ Our distinguished neighbor over the
way enjoyed himself last week in dige9ting
little Johnny Davenport, " and his employ
ment of portion Of the secret service fund,
Of the Government in preventing fraud in
New York elections. That employment of
the fund was strictly legal will not admit OF
a doubt; indeed is conceded on all sides.
That necessity existed for It's employment
in New York city where Democratic MAORI
ties are manufactured to order, is also true,
though We must confess that the fact appears
TO US altogether too disgraceful ito make d
fuss over it. Had not fraud been the rule
in Democratic conduct of elections in New
York, the secret service fund would have re-
manned untouched for that purpose, but
then our distinguished neighbor would have
been deprived Of a, to him, most pleasurable
feast. Democratic frauds were therefore a
sort Of necessity created for our distinguished
neighbor' especial accommodation.

Thieves and Burglars in our
Elieist---E10CAOG GOr them!

Be CAREFUL OF YOUR VALUABLEs. -
While Mr.. Barnet Frey, of Smithfeld town
ship, this county, was at his barn, on Thurs
day morning last, doing up his work, and
his good lady was milking, some thief or
thieves entered their residence and succeeded
in robbing them Of some $400, in gold and
silver which they had slowed away in the
house for safe keeping. In these days Of
tramping, and picking up of whatever falls
in the way, it is not best to trust to the
ordinary means for the safe keeping of valu-
ables, as this couple have learned to their
sorrow. OF course public sympathy will be
with them in their sorrow, but it would have
been infinitely better, if they had had their
little store Of cash deposited in one Of our
banks, either Of which would have proved a
safe depository 1t would lie well too if others
in the county, who have loose change lying
around, would learn wisdom from the exper-
ience Of Mr.. Frey. Dmmick Custard, Of
Bushkill, Pike county, was lodged in Jail at
this place, on suspicion Of having committed
the deed, on Monday last.
ANoTHER-On Sunday night the dwell
ing Of Jacob Weller, On Franklin street,
near the Court House, was entered by
burglars during Mr.. ". and wife s absence
at church, and robbed them of about 500
worth Of clothing, &c. The principal arti-
cles stolen were sctt Of furs and some
jewelry. The thief or thieves ransacked
drawers, closets, &c, in every part Of tire
house. They effected an entrance at the
kitchen door by forcing off the fastening
Still ANoTHEE-The Drug Store of
Mr. Wm. Hol!inshcad was entered on Mon
day evening by some contemplate whiskey,
pipe and cigar thief who stole about thirty
dollars worth Of the above articles. The
entrance was effected through the back door,
before which was a large wooden bar fastcn-
ed with staple at one end, aud when in
use was lying loosly in a sort ofopcn staple
or hook at the other side Of the door The
thief doubtless knowing the precise situation
Of this bar, bored hole in the door and
raised up the bar and went in and took his
plunder.
The party in greatest interest in this
case may fancy that inasmuch as his deed
was done in the dark it is still in the dark.
But he may be suddenly aroused to the fact
at some unexpected moment that some
things are known as we'll as others.

duce expenses will add greatly to his conyen-

this new evidence Of his enjoyment ola pros
porous business, and congratulate him over
it.

THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1875.

R@E~ Tender indeed is our friend of the
Easton Argus, over the reputation OF his
political patron saint Thurman, and lachry-
NAL, almost beyond measure is he because
the JEFFRSoNIAN referred to one Of Thur
mans little grabs. We regret the bitterness
of his disappointment, but it would be as well
for the Argus to learn that words in them
selves do not change the meaning of acts,
and that a square steal may be enclosed In
''fee," as certainly as in the act Of surrepti
tiously taking that which is not fairly ones
own. The Argus sees no reason to find fault
with Thurman simply because "$50,000 Is
alleged to have fallen in his way" Nor do
We But when that $4,000 belongs to the
widowed or orphaned stock kholder or bond
holder Of corporation, and is taken not for
services rendered in their favor, but to render
more certain an effort to despoil them, it is
but little different from the act of the defaul-
ter or the robber. The lamentation and
mourning of those who were robbed through
Atlantic and Great Western railway, few
years ago, and in which Thurman is alleged
to have secured his grab, is too fresh in
memory to warrant one in pretending ignor
ance of the matter. For his services in this
transaction, professional we admit, he is
alledged to have received $4,000. If this is
true, where is the difference between it and
Pendletons alleged robbery Of the Treasury
of $4,000, except in amount and victim.
The fact is the sooner men and papers scan
the inner acts of those who ambitious to
become servants of the dear people, and treat
them as truth brought to light show they
deserve, the sooner we will have honest men
in office, and the sooner will the disgrace
which now blurs our civilization and govern
ment be efectually squelched. It is neither
Grant, Robeson, Belknap, Babcock nor
Brother Orvil & Co., who arc to be discus
sed. They are already become as dead
toads in a puddle 1t is the men who are to
become our servants in the future to whose
antccedcnts and predictions we are to look
when seeking safety from peculation and
general rascallty in the future.
