The Next Congressman.

We learn from the Milford papers that
the preliminary strife for the Congress
sional nomination in this district is wax
ing warm, between the patriotic aspirants
of little Pike. So warm has it become
that Rowland and Nyce, between whom
the fight is now going on, could not even
celebrate the glorious 4th together in
peace. Now we would advise these gen.
tlemen to keep cool. 1t is really in the
programme that little Pike is not to have
the nomination this time. The wires are
laid and the thimbles are set but neither
of them will be able to tell where the
'little JOKER" is, until they see him
perched on the shoulder of biushlng
Patriot from some one of the lower coun-
ties. Pike had the nomination and the
Congressman. some twenty years ago,
and that, it is considered by the lead
ing ones, should satisfy her cravings for
a century at least Her sturdy copper
headed democracy do we'll enough for
hewers of wood and drawers of water in
the party; but they are considered as pre-
suming too far, when they seriously as
pire to honors which, in the imagination
of the wire pullers, in the lower end OF
the district, are more suited to the stand
ing and calibre of their superiors. How
ever, if johnny and Georgy take more
pleasure in swapping and snarling at each
other, we are perfectly willing that they
should take their fun in their own way
But they must not blame us, if when af
ter all their fuss, they bring their con
ferees to Stroudsburg to find them of nc
account.

The Harvest.

The Harvest in this county is rapidly
drawing to a close. The quantity OF
grain out was quite large, and we are glad
to learn that the crop is a large one
rather more than an average. In reply
to frequent inquiries as to the crops the
almost invariable answer has been-"A
first rate CROP"
The Corn Crop looks fine, generally,
though in some places it is beginning to
show the effects of the drought which is
now prevailing in this section. A good,
soaking rain is most sadly needed just
now

Rebel Prisoners.

The number of Rebel prisoners now in
our hands is semi-ofhcially stated to be
upward of 62 600, of which about 1000
are officers. The various depots at which
prisoners are confined are becoming so
crowded as to render the establishment of
others necessary. The Commissary-Gen-
eral of prisoners is now at Elmira, New
York, experimenting the removal of pris
oners from Point Lookout to that place.
The barracks there are expected to accom-
nodate 1900 men,.

The Wanderer, of Vienna, relates the
following "An elderly gentleman, wild
over, recently died in the neighborhood
of this city, who had the singular practice
of never wearing pair Of stockings the
second time, but of every day putting on
a new pair, which had been knitted for
him by some old women whom he knew,
aud whom he paid literally. At his
death he left A, 500 pairs of WOODEN OF cot
ton stockings, all carefully put away
This originally is said to have arisen from
sort of pious remembrance Of his wife,
who had been only poor knitting girl
before her marriage"

t-The Reading Railroad was formally
taken on Wednesday into the possession OF
the United States government. The strike
of the miners and the employees of the road
have SO embarrassed the operations of the
company, that to supply coal to the govern
ment in requisite quantities was impossible.
The miners in Schuylkill county are trou-
blesome set. Their proclivities seem to be
toward copperheadism. They are NUS
ance to the owners of the mines and to the
community in general. The government
took the road into its possession, bringing on
a sufficient force to insure its management.
Everybody will be glad to know that the
government will be Independent alike OF
Copperheads and strikers for its supply OF
coal.
