Fire.

On Monday last, our citizens were star
tied from their usual quiet by the alarm
of fire. On inquiry it was discovered
that the barn belonging to the Stillwell
property, now owned We believe by Mi
chael Ransberry, and occupied By Jesse
r. Smith, in East Stroudsburg, near the
depot, was on fire. As soon as was posi-

ings in its immediate neighborhood. The
barn, with its contents CONSISTING of
about twenty FIVE tons of hay and guam
tity of oats belonging to Mr. Smith, were
of course destroyed. Three hogs be-
longing to Mr. Kays, were burned to
death, and fourth one only escaped
with bad scorching. How the fire orig
mated is not exactly known, but rumor
has it that the fire was communicated
from some matches which parcel of
children, who had show in the barn.
employed in the performance. The loss
on barn and contents has been estimated
at about 1000 1t is agreed on all
hands that, but for the promptness and
efficiency of our Fire Department, the de
struction would have extended to the
neighboring buildings, and caused much
heavier loss. The Phoenix, on this occa.

Election Frauds.

The Monroe Democrat, of two weeks
ago, in reply to an assertion of ours, that
cheating had possibly been done by both
narties in the recent election, exhibited
great indignation at our tcmerity in insin
uating that the Democracy would do such
thing as cheat. In nearly column, he
paradcd an array of assertions in support
of his party's honesty, unaecompanied by
single figure to show that they had any
foundation in fact. Because of the total
absence of those peculiar earmarks which
establish the paternity Of our neighoor 5
scintilatous, we judged the article to
have been borrowed from partizan CO.
tenn porary, and exercising the same priv
ilege we append below, from Republi-
can cotemporary, food for reflection, to
which we invite cur neighbor's attention.
The Democrat thinks, or rather pretends
to think, that Hester Clymer was defeat
ed by fraud. We think that if it had
not been for the frauds perpetrated by
the Democracy, Gen. Geary would nc
doubt have been elected by fifty thou
sand majority, instead Of by Il, ,l7S as Of
ficially reported. The Democrat $ thoughts
upon the subject have nothing but ssser-
ton to support them. For the proof Of cal
| thoughts, and to afford our neighbor an
opportunity to exercise his skill with fig
ures, we present the following facts:
The ratio of votes in Pennsylvania is
one to every FIVE inhabitants. Nearly al
the counties giving majority for Gen
Gsary voted under this ratio, while al
most every county giving majority for
Clymer voted over, and some Of them fal
over it.
Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, and
Philadelphia, with population Of 7S7,
l018, voted l0,305 votes less than ratio
of one in FIVE inhabitants; while the reb
el sympathizing counties of Bucks, Mont
gomery, Northampton, Lehigh, Berks
Schuylkill, Luzerne, Columbia, Northum
berland, Clinton, Centre, Clearfeld, MIf
fin, Cumberland, and York, with a pop
ulation of 719,414, voted nearly 90, ,00C
over the ratio named.
Luzerne county alone gave 8 ,0S0 vote,
over, and 10 doubt iraudulently carried
her county ticket and her member Of
Congress in that district
Montgomery gave 1928 over, and sc
elected her whole county ticket by fraud
Chester county gave 1S4 votes less than
ratio of one vote in fre of population
while Montgomery gave l,528 over
Such facts speak plainly for themselves
and we hope that they will be thoroughly
investigated. We will again refer to these
and other frauds of the late election.

NJ. Peabody's fortune is variously esti
mated, and conjecture is busy trying to
discover what he is worth. In 1851 he
was numbered among the millionares OF
London, and during the following ten
years his business greatly increased. In
1850 he was said to be worth SIS, 600.
600 in gold, and he has endowed various
charities in the princely sum of SO, 600.
600. Mr.. Peabody is now probably worth
Sl0,o00,O00 or $4,000, 900, for the in.
