Seward, who d>ed at Florida, Orange county, on Dec. 7 was the last one ** of that generation of Sewards of ^bich W. H. Seward was the most prominent. ! He was born at Florida, N. Y.. on the D e c em b er is. 26th day of Aug., 1808, and was the^ The case of Isaac E, Pye against the youngest son of Hon. Samuel S. Seward. 1 County Board of Canvassers, All the other members of his father’s 1 .arowing out of the November election for family died before him. He was a brother. of that county, was argued before of the distinguished statesman, the late Newburgh, Satur- Secretary Seward. He always made his ! application of Garrett home at Florida, except when for a short ^ Snider, representing Mr. Pye. Judge period he resided at Mendham, N. J. He was first married in about 1882 to Tempe Wick, daughter of Dr. John W. LeddH of Mendham, N. J. By this marriage he had five children, the oldest Sarah C., who has been a medical missionary for seventeen years at Allahabad, India ; William H., a lawyer a resident of Chi cago, 111. i the Rev. Samuel S., pastor of one of the prominent churches in New York city ; George F,, who was formerly a minister of the United States to China, and the author of an important work on Chins and the Chinese, and who now re sides at East Orange, N. J., and the youngest John L., who is a prominent and successful physician located at Orange, N. J, Mr. Seward’s first wife died in October, 1848. He married for his second wife Miss Julia R. Humphrey of Candor, N. Y., who survives him. By this wife he had three chi.dren—Charles H., the old est, who died in 1877, just as he was en tering upon a sphere of usefulness as a promising lawyer and Mary, the wife of the Rev. G. W. Shields, who now resides at Whitehall, N. Y,, and Julia H., who lives at home. Mr. Seward retained his faculties to the last, with unabated interest in current affairs. Though never prominent in pub lic life, he was always interested in public matters, and especially in whatever con cerned his own locality. He was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church at F k rida for about 40 years and has always taken an active part in church work, and re peatedly represented his church in eccle siastic assemblies. His end was peaceful and bore testimony to the faith which he had long professed. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at half-past 2 o’clock at his late r. sidence. DBFLOBABLE DESTITUTION. A lady of Monticello reports to the Re publican that on a recent errand of mercy, she discovered a case of destitu tion and misery .such as has seldom if ever before been witnessed in Monticello- According to her description, two old women aged, one about 90 and. the other within a few years as old, are living in abiect wretchedness, upon such assist ance as the few who know of their con dition from time to time afford. These old people sit from day to day in filth and rags, shivering over a poor apology for a fire, m a rocm destitute of ail the comforts of life; too old and infirm to be able to care for themselves. The County Institution is provided and tax payers are taxed, to give a comfortable home to just this class of people, and the aged women referred to, now almost upon the thres hold of the next world, should be removed thither without delay. AT T H E CONCERT HALL. There was a full house at the Claren don Concert Hall last evening, and every one present pronounced the entertainment first-class. The new faces introduced were Messrs. Fox and Ward, the black face comedians. These gentlemen are undoubtedly as good a team as ever ap peared upon a stage in this village. Wil liam Rage, the contortionist, is also very good. Among the others were Harry J m Reed, the well known emger of this village, Mr. Fayette Welsh and Harry L’estrange, the female impersonator. M IDDLETOW N FR IN T B R S ' BALL. A letter has been received at this office from the Middletown typos, extending a general invitation to the printers of Port Jervis, to attend their third annual ball, to be given at the Assembly Rooms in that city, on Wednesday, Dec. 19th. No doubt a nnmber of our village typos will re spond to the invitation, as a good time is assured, when the Middletown printers undertake to give it. PERSONAL. Messrs. C. J. Murray and Harrison Beecher of Narrowsburgh. were in Port Jervis to-day. Utir holiday goods are coming in fast. —Santa Claus has deposited a handsome assortment of holiday gifts sultaWe for all. Call tn and see them at Miss J., E. Bhay’s. Brown issued an order compelling the Board of Canvassers to show cause w’by they should not adopt the election returns from Stony Point as first made, instead of as afterwards amended. Counsellor Irvin Brown appeared in answer to the sum mons on Saturday,8th inst. Mr. Snider claimed that the Stony Point Inspectors had no right whatever to change their report, after it was once made, except to correct a clerical error, and further that the Board of Inspectors was dissolved when it adjourned, after completing its canvass on the night of election. Judge Brown said that the case binged on the question whether the re- tiurus as first male were in such shape as to warrant the Supervisors in s.-nding them back. Mr. B’-own, for the Board of Canvassers, argued that the returns from other parts of Rockland county had been corrected without objection, and admitted that the Board of Inspectors had no right to rescind their original action, unless re convened by order of the Supervisors, Judge Brown took the papers and yes terday banded down his decision denying the motion to direct the canvassers to count the two defective ballots for Pye. This decision leaves the vote a tie between P;yc and Shankey. The new special election for Sheriff, ordered by the t-.cckland County Board of Canvassers, is set down for Tuesday, De cember 18. MORt; SHOPBIEN DISCHARGED. Tweutj'-tliree Employees Notified to Work Yesterday. Twenty-three employees of the Brie shops wtre iiotifiid last night that their services w<.re no longer required. No reason whatever was given for the re moval ; they were simply told to leave and the ’.mount of wages due was paid to Among those discharged yesterday were some who have worked in the shops up ward of 25 or 30 years. In one gang which heretofore consisted of seveuteen men, but four were left. Much anxiety is 5 elt by those who still remain, as they are expecting to be notified to leave at any moment. A number of the men who were dis charged Saturday went to Middletown yesterday in hopes of getting employment in the shops there. AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. A. H . Burliugbam, D.

The SuHsex Independent says that Mr. 0. 0. Clay, an old resident and well to do farmer living near Deckertowu, was vic tim used to the extent of $25 on Friday last by a couple of sharks, commonly called fakirs. Their method of operating was about the same as that practiced by one of these oily-tongued gentry through out this neighborhood in July last, a full accountof which we then published. They represented to Mr. Clay that they w ere specialists iu diseases of the eye, and had been requested by Dr. Furgerson o f Beem - erville, to call and make an examination. They very soon convinced the old gentle man that he had a cataract. An opera tion was finally agreed upon, which con sisted of the operation of dexterously drop ping a mipute quanity of some substance ini his t-ye, which .soon hardened, and was quickly removed with a small pair of forceps, A pair of green glasses were then given him with instructions to wear them for a few weeks, Tney also gave him a ten cent pair of spectacles mounted with brass, which they told the old man was solid gold, and in consideration of the glasses and the operation $125 was de manded. Mr. Clay obj' Cted to paying that amount and said he did not have it in the house. Finally he found $25 in a well worn wallet, and tendered it to them, but the money was refused unless a note was given for the balance. Mr. Olay re fused to give the note, and a compromise was at last effected by the fakirs taking the money. When we hear of a man trying to get through this world so full of sharks, sharp ers, frauds and swindlers, without patron izing bis local paper, or some other journal, the columns of which are devoted to exposing just such scamps, we can scarcely refrain from saying that such a man is “ penny wise and a pound foolish. ” We cannot but sympathise with Mr. Clay for his loss, but at the same time the timely investment of a dollar in his local paper would have saved him the unpleasant and unprofitable experience he had last Friday. BOTH LEGS COT OFF. Mr. Henry Woodruff who resides near Middletown, had both ol his legs cut off in a railroad accident on the Newburgh Short Cut, on Saturday. He was still alive at last accounts.

INDIGNATION OVER T H E BUTCHEBT OF CITIZENS. T h e J a i l is Still G u a rded—The Streets Tluronged W ith E x c ited Citizens—F e a rs of a R e n ew al o f t h e R iot. B iemingham , Ala., Dec. 10.—A steady, drizzling rain has fallen all day, and this has united to check any renewal of the at tempt to attack the jail or lynch either Hawes or Sheriff Smith. The cordon of military still surrounds the jail and the Gatling gun at the head of the alley, manned by determined men, is sufficient to deter any but^the most foolhardy from endeavoring to incite a crowd to vio lence. The streets have been thronged ali day ‘ with excited crowds, whose wrath is new directed more against Sheriff Smith for what they called the brutal butchery of the popular Throckmorton, than against the original cause of the mob rule. It is doubtful, should auotner attack be made on the jail audit should prove successful, if Hawes would oe harmed. Indignation ali centers on the Snenff. Should he ap pear on the street or be captured within nis own sirongnold by the mob, his exist ence would be measured by the minutes it would take to place a rope aiound nis neck or draw a gun from a pocket. Tne fury of the mob would wreak itself in the dismemberment of his body. The walls oi the city are pasted with pititions callmg on tne Governor to re move Sheriff Smith for his unwarranted buicfiery oi several of me iiromiaeac citi zens, They received thousands of signa- tureo. Bide by side are oiner petitions which read, “ This is to hang nun,’'and the signaiuie affixed to this equal m num bers those praying tor his removal. 'I’he Sheriff was arrested last night by the Coroner, who served the warrant. He deposed Smith from custody in the j ill and assumed caarge nlmseif. The pustuffice is draped m mourmug for the death oi Postmaster Throckmor ton, and tne insiguia acts as a mute ap peal to the citizeus lo renew vioience and avenge the deaiu of the papular offioial. The City Council met this morning, and as a precaution against further vio lence, ordered that uU drug stores and saloons snouid remain closed until fur ther notice. bheriff rimith said to-day that he pleaded with, and begged the crowd to keep the peace, aud that then they fired the first snots. 'Tuey tired several suots belore the order to fire was given in the jail. Then when tney reached the emwQCc to the alley they were warned that the guards would fire, but they ad vanced, yelling: \ Blow up the jail with dynam ite.” Again they opened fire, and then the order was given from the ja il to fire. They continued firing after the dis charge Irom the jail had ceased. The Sheriff insists that no other coarse could be taken. Chief of Police Pickard said nothing else could be done under the circumstan ces, but he never regretted anything so much as he did the unfortunate necessity. He heard a shot before the Sheriff gave the order to fire, but did not know whether the shot was fired from Inside the jait or not. He cried like a baby over the unfor tunate affair. AT THE OPERA HOUSE TO-NXGHT Gilson and Ryan, who are to appear at the Opera House this eveniug in their very funny play entiTed “ Irish Absurdi ties,” are said to be two of the best Irish comedians traveling. They are supported by a good company of comedians and keep the aud'.ence in a roar of laughter during the entire performance. The play will be presented with all the original songs, dances and specialities, and all that are fond of seeing genuine Irish comedy, should not fail to visit the Opera House this evening and witness “ Irish Absurdities.” There must be some merit in Tulip soap, >r everybody would’nt buy it. T H E COURT WAS ADJOURNED. A large number of lawyers, litigants and jurors were at Goshen Monday morn ing to attend County Court and Court of Bessons. Owing to the illness of Judge Wilkin he was unable to be present, and court adjourned. Th( re was considerable disappointment manifested that arrange- ments had not been made with Special County Judge Sanford to hold the court. “ There it goes again ’’ said one ol our grocers yesterday as a ladj’ went out with a dozen cakes of Tulip soap, after vowing she would use no other. in delicate health, and all who suffer from habitual constipatiou, will find the pleas ant California liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs, more easily taken and more bene ficial in effect than any other remedy.

THE REDUCTION IN THE SHOPS. General R e g ret F e l t Over t h e Rem o v a l oi the Old Em p loyes. i The action of the Erie company in re ducing the force of men employed at the shops m this village is the universal topic of conversation on the streets to-day. It is regretted that the company should have seen lit to take this step, and the opinion seems to be quite general, espec ially among the employes of the shops, that tne reduction will not be permanent. Port Jervis, tney say, is the natural layoff lor tne Eastern and Delaware divisions, and as such the most convenient point for tne location of repair shops. Its own in terest and convenience, they say, will eventually compel the company to restore the shops in this place to their full work ing capacity. This consideration, however, will af ford but little consolation to such old and trusted employes ol the company as Geo. Holland, Geo. Houghton aud Geo. Fryer, who are among tue number who received the blue ticket last night. It is a matter of especial regret, lhai, these men should have been removed. Two of them are property owners m the town, and all of them are men of family and have been connected with the Erie shops in this vil lage for upward of 25 years. It was hoped that the company wouia not remove any of the old employes, but confine removals to the J Ganger ciasa ot men, who would be less mconvemenced by the necessity ot looking elsewhere for work, it is to be hoped ihat so lai- as these ana other oid employes are ebneerned, the company win reconsider its aption and restore them to their former positions. There can be no doubt that for a time at least tne Erie shops in this place will be run witu a greatly reduced force oi men. Under previous administrations of tne road the buildings and machinery were suffered to deterrorate until to-day they are not properly equipped for iiu'ning out good work. The present management are nut responsible tor this condition of tnings, and in sending repair work to oiner shops instead of refitting the Port Jervis shops, they are, we presume, actuated by wnat they consider the best interests oi the company, tao far as we can learn it is not the iuteniion of the Erie management to permanently abandon the Erie shops. Eventually they will be refitted and re organized upon the old basis. But it is not regarded as expedient to do so at the present time. GLEANED EEOM THE RAIL LAST NIG HT'S LECTURE. A Sm all Audience, but a Good Entertain ment. To the discredit of the people of this village, it must be said that the audience which attended the lecture, given by Dr. J. J. Ylllers at the Opera House last evening, was very small, in fact the smallest which has been in the house this season. The leoiure, nowever, was very good, and all present enjoyed it thor oughly. Dr. Villers is a lecturer aud a humorist o f no mean ability; in fact he is pronounced by press and public to be one of the best in the country. “ Fanny people we meet” was the sub ject of last evening’s lecture, and the doc tor delivered and presented the different characters to perfection. He is a born humorist ana his entertainment proved very amusing, particularly by reason of the variety of facial expressions which he successfully assumed in imitating differ ent characters. The characters which he assumed are numerous, and vastly differ ent and it seems wonderful how a person can make the many changes in his ap pearance without the aid of wigs. —Sick headache is readily cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which tones and reg ulates the digestion, and creates an appe tite.
