Mr.. WM L. Mason, will read TIL

crs, in saying he is the proper organ Of
Shakcspear'S genius"
The Stroudsburg string band will en-.
liven the entertainment with some of their
favorite airs.
The following extract, from the author 5
preface, will give the reader sligbtidca of
the favor with which it was receiye3 in
Boston.

And smile upon ny pain;
Thou beckonest aith thy mailed hand,
Aud am strong again. > LoNGFELow.
There is a tide IN lie c6airs ef men, dc.
Right! worthy Willie Shakespeare, per-
fectly right-there is a tide not only in
the affairs of meo, but in the casualties
of the Drama also. that bears the fcrtu-
nate object to success, provided The op-
portunity is not neglected. There could
lot have been better time chosen for
the production Of this most successful aud
Domestic Drama, than the season it was
first performed at the Bottom Museum.-
No unprejudieed person will attempt 70
deny that it was the cause of much good,
and materially aided the Temperance
movement it was meant 10 advocate. III
the representation it was powerful apd
living picture, aud all that saw it, felt it,
for it WAS TRUE. No one who had not
reen it would feel inclined, from the mere
reading, to believe tie very powerful ef-
feet produced.
The action Of the play located in our
Own city and vicinity-the scenery most
ly local views, cxcellcpt-iLe arrange
ments admirable, while the acting iu some
instances was net to be surpassed, and
throughout each character above medioc.
rity, all serFed TO aid in the triumphant
success that was awarded it on It's first
representation. Mr. Smith personatioD {
of Edward, evidently the result of accu-
rate aud labOrious study, and deep knowl-
edge of human frailty, was at times ter. ;
ribly real, particularly the scene of delirj-
pza heHcnS, which though far short Of
the horrors of that dreadful malady, and
appearing, to those unacquainted with the
disease to be overstePping the bounds Of :
nature, was true to the letter, and uuiver- /
sally acknowledged to be the most natu. J
raj, effective acting ever seen in this city.
IN this scene, and those depicting the dis. q
tress Of the family, it was DO uncommon t
thing to see scores Of men and women in K
the auditory weeping ike children, while ::
st the next moment their faces would ra. !
date with smiles at the quaint humor of b
Bill DOwton, or the pompous peculiarities II

The piece was produced under direc o .,
tion of Mr.. Smith, in the winter of 1914, :.

Of one hundred and forty times, and is tv

Mr.. Buchanan's letter-writing has ex-
hibited itself in at least three degrees of
moral turpitude. His letter to California,
sent on the eve of the Presidential cleo
ton, when he had pledged himself to write
nothing after his letter of acceptance, was
positively shameful; his second, to the
Pennsylvania Legislature, lobbying for
Forney's election to the U. S. Senate, was
comparatively degrading; and his third
effort, placing himself on the stump for
English's bill, was superlatively atrocious

BsS- The locofocos, evidently drcading

are raising the cry of coalition with the
hope of exciting prejudice against such
union. Such cry comes with bad grace
from party that has never succeeded ex-

convicts, Now, so far as we are indi.
vidually concerned, we can conceive of nc

the party that disgraces the one, and i'm.

psy- We have heard Il said that not
more than one ip four Of the Furnaces--
SO numerous in this yicinity-will be in
blast another year. So much for the loco.
foco policy Of giving encouragement to
foreign interests, and Withholding protec.
ton from domestic industry. Every
article imported from abroad and which
we can make at home, is so much taken
from our own industrial classes and given
to foreigners, and all under the pitiful
plea, that the foreign article is cheapest
Il may be, at first cost, but, in the long
run, it is mad Excessively dear by the
effects of the policy in checking enter.
prise, deverting capital from employments
calculated to develope national resources,
and in putting down the home market for
agricultural products.
For illustration, let us suppose that the
Furnaces, just mentioned, gave employ
ment to one thousand slaves. During
their employment in the manufacture of
iron, they had to be fed, and the food they
consumed was purchased from the neigh
boring farmers, and the sum of about two
hundred thousand dollars was paid to their
owners, for hire-which sum was realized
| in branch of manufacture, now almost
suppressed, for the benefit of foreign
manufacturers. Next year, those thous.
and slaves, instead of furnishing home
market for agricultural products, will be
employed in creating them, and in lessen.
ing their value by increasing their quaint.
ty and in diminishing the demand foi
them by being changed from consumer:
into producers. Thus we see the effect o.
locofoco policy, in this locality, is to break
down the home market, to concentrate
labor and capital upon a single pursuit
instead of multiplying the channels o
trade, and in starving out manufactur,
of immense value to the whole country.
But some locofoco will ask why we can
manufacture iron as cheap here as in Scot
land, where the administration has latel,
made a heavy purchaser If he has no
sense enough to know that cheap labo
makes cheap goods, an explanation woult
be labor in vain; and if he has so it'll

classes ground down by the low wage
paid abroad, an appeal to enlightene,
magnanimity and craftsmanship would b

as applicable to this vicinity, and if tn
people can not trace the connection be
tween the free trade policy and the de
preston of the iron and agricultural in
terests consequent upon the reduction o
that theory to practice, they deserve t
suffer for their folly, or ignorance in up
holding party SO inimical to America
interests, and so favorable to every every

in the administration of our Government
