And two North Scranton young men have found out that It is also a true one. for after four and more years or leisure on their part, their father has decided to stand their presence no more, and has decreed thut they shall make their own wav in the world. The young men are Anthony and Thomas Carden, aged 24 awl 25 years, rf 177 Wilbur street, and at a hearing last night before Alderman John Hawks, of the Second ward, Thomas Carden, their father, testified that since each has been twenty vears old, both have refused to work, 'and have been dependent on him for support.
