Insurance Against Accident.

The benefits of Insurance against ac-
cidents, were made apparent to the citi-
zens of our county, by an accident which
occurred to Mr.. Daniel Coss, of Middle
Smithfeld township, last summer. Mr..
&. had just affected an Insurance in the
Travellers Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Connecticut, and of which Mr. James
Carr, Jr., of our borough, has the agen
cy, when he had his arm broken By kick
from borse. His case was Immediately
looked after by Mr.. Carr, and reported to
the company, and on his recovery, few
weeks ago, Mr.. Coss, received forty dol
lars for eight weeks that he was prevent
ed from following his business, by the ac
cident. This prompt payment should lead
our readers, all of whom are liable to ac-
cident, and many of whom could lily af-
ford the loss of time attendant thereupon
to look into this Insurance business. =
They will find Mr.. Carr to be a perfect
gentleman 10 his department, and conscien
tiously fair in his transactions with his
fellowmen. Any information desired will
be cheerfully impaired by him whether
inquiry is made personally or by letter.
Heshould be addressed at Stroudsburg, Pa.

Church Dedication.

Our readers should not forget the dedi-
cation of the {" Cherry Lane" Methodist
Episcopal Church, which takes place, on
Sabbath next. Services in the morning,
at 10 o'clock, in the afternoon, at O.
clock, and in the evening, at 7 o'clock
The Rev. DIR. Hodgson, of Eastou; the
Rev. Joseph Gregg, of Philadelphia, and
the Rev. MIR. lllman will conduct the SER
vices in the order in which they are NAM
ed There should be a full attendance
of the Christian public. Cherry Lane"
Church is on the Tannersville circuit, and
the church building, which will be a
neat and serviceable one, quite creditable
to the service for which it was erected,
was, we learn, secured to the congrega-
tion, mainly through the indefatigable ex-
ertions Of the Pastor in charge, the Rev.

nA- Voters of Monroe county, if you
wish to do your country a real service
if you hope to make the fruits OF the
great rebellion blessing to yourselves
and to the generations to come after you
If you desire to secure peace which
will prove perpetual, and against which
the monster, Secession, will never again
dare to raise its CORY head, you must vote
for WILLIAM LILLY, for Congress, on
Tuesday next. A vote for Van Auken,
the candidate of the Democracy, will be
vote of approval of all that JEFF. Davis
did, and desired to do, when he made his
great thrust at the life of the nation. =
The rebellion had no warmer opponent in
the North than Gen. WILLIAM LILLY
and no warmer supporter than DANIEL
NJ. VAN AUKEN.

Where to get Good Lilo uors.

AS men always have and, in all probabili-
ty, always will indulge in the ''ardent," we
look upon it work of philanthropy, to
inform those who do indulge, ''for the stom-
ach's sake and often infirmi,ies," where the
best liquors are to be obtained. Our expe-
rience, not very extensive it is true, but
still large enough, added 10 the experience
Of others. to justify US in giving opinion,
is, that the very best and purest liquors
brought into this market, are those sold at
the Store of ]. S. Williams & Co. The Ii.
quors sold at that establishment are smooth
and pleasant to the taste, and leave none of
the unpleasant burning and after-taste al
most invariably following an indulgence in
liquors sUld here by agents from abroad, or
supplied on orders sent to the cities. If we
must indulge, let it be in the best; and we
sre satisfied that the best can always be
obtained of Williams g. Co. Landlords
should think of this.

BETHLEHEM, Sept. 29.-An enthusiastic

Esq, of Louisiana, and Report S. Davis
Esq, of your city. General Selfridge, oI
the Red Star Division, has been removed
from his position as Assessor of this dis

for Clymer. This action Of the Admin

Selfridge is very popular. One of the

E@- Voters, there are two candidates
for State Senator in the field Remem-
ber that when you so to the polls. One
of these must be your choice; and as you
select SO will you say whether you stand
by democracy as democracy stood by your
fathers in the days of your country's
greatest peace, prosperity and happiness,
or whether you stand by that despicable
political fungus, which, in these latter
days, claims to be democracy, and which
brought war, bloodshed, devastation and
almost annihilation upon your country
The mark of treason may be hidden from
your view by a mere patriotic cloak hast
lily thrown on, but you cannot because of
that shield yourselves from the just re-
proach of patriots if you vote for CHARL-
TON BURNET, who stands before you as
the representative man Of the principles
which hold Vallandigham, the Woods,
Jeff. Davis, and the host of their aiders
and abetters, North and South. The tax
es under which you are now groaniug,-
the loss of brother, of father, and of son
which you are morning, would not have
fallen upon you but for the principles
which govern such men, and on which
they are pledged to act if they succeed in
getting into Office. If you vote for BUR
NET, you vote for repetition of those
acts OF dough facedism which brought on
the war, and by your vote give encour-
agement for the infiction of still greater
woes upon you. Is it worth while to run
so great risk for the purpose of securing
the more than questionable honor of be-
ing able to say that you cling to the emp
ty name of Democracy? You have a
choice in the matter, and noble choice
it is too.-The real democracy of the Dis
trict-that democracy, which stood by
the good old flag, and which saved the
Constitution and the laws from being
crushed under the heel Of the slave oil
garchy, presents you with candidate in
every way worthy of your choice The
name of that candidate is CALVIN p.
MILLIKEN, Of Pike county, and you can
vote for him, with the certainty of voting
to sustain the Union, and to make treason
odious by preventing traitors from fasten
ing their hellish grasp around the throat Of
the Government. Mr.. MILLIKEN has
been from first to last the unfiuching
supporter of his government, while his
opponent, Mr.. BURNET, was among the
loudest in bawling peace at time when
to do so was to strengthen the hands of
the cut-throats who were trying to destroy
that government. There can be no doubt
as to which man patriotism claims for
its champion, and there should be no
doubt as to which one every man who
loves his country should vote for.

hope of electing Mr. C!ymer. We so
Judge from the fact that in various eoun-
ties they are reported to be freely offer
ing to give votes for Gen. Ceary in ex-
change for votes for their candidates for
Congress or the Legislature We warn
republicans against bargains of this sort.
The General is certain to have margin
enough without trading other candidates
into defeat. Give every vote you have to
the Congressional and Legislative ticket.
BY so doing the splendor of the coming
triumph will be doubly enhanced

CAL Except some high grades too costly for genar-
al use, foreign watches are chiefly made ty women

EFFIE'S TRIAL.

From dawn to dusk you might have heard
the elang of Merrick Masters hammer on
the anvil Of Hammersly. Often long after
the dusk of the winters day, have | watch
ed the golden sparks as they few away into
outer darkness, through the wide open door,
ike so many long imprisoned spirits, just set
free after years of bottling up. And ever
and always, while work was doing under the
sloping roof, | could hear a sort of anvil
chorus, either whistled or sung by the rich
voice of Merrick Masters.
IF it had only so happened that some nu-
sical enthusiast had come across Merrick
Masters in his boyhood, as such one is said
to have met Jenny Lind, singing by the way
side, there need have been no anvil work for
him, and instead of toiling for pence and
shillings, fortunes might have been shower
ed upon him, and critics might have talked
about his ''chestnotes, and beautiful mem
bers of upper tesdom have flung bouquets
at him, and even penned him love letters on
the sly, as they are fond of doing too well,
to no matter whom, at the opera.
No musical enthusiast, however, came to
Hammersly, and it is doubtful if any body
suspected Merrick of being musical genius,
unless, indeed, it was the old parson, who
had requested him to make one of the church
choir, where he beloved as gloriously as any
basso profundo who ever shook the walls of
the Academy of Music, and apologized for
it to the owner of the shrill soprano, rather
cracked) yeclept Miss Squiggs.
He didn't mean to go drownding ladies'
voices, but when he got going he couldn' t
help getting too loud 1t was the falt, he
reckened, of the blacksmithing.
The deep snow was white on the ground
one December eve, and the golden sparks
rushed from the changing anvil faster than
ever, and the song to which the strokes kept
time were louder and clearer when some
body leading a horse stopped at the forge
door and looked through with an eye that
took in the picturesque scene at a glance.
''By Jove, its like some of those old Dutch
pictures, muttered voice under a golden
moustache. ''I'd paint it if l was an ar
tist.
Then in louder tone.
''Hallo, young fellow. my horse has lost a
shoe, and l want it looked to Immediately. :"
The young fellow dropped his hammer
and strobe toward the door, and in another
moment horse and master stood beneath the
forge roof. Then as Merrick Masters bent
down to look at the foot of the splendid ami
NAL, the rider, as splendid a parsonage in
his way, sauntered to the fire and stood bask-
ing in its genial warmth, and shaking off the
feathery fakes that clung to his shoulders.
A Ight-haired, blue-eyed exquisite, as great
contrast to the brown Hercules of the
forge as can well be imagined, though in his
way Merrick was very handsome.
Just as the blacksmith's whistle began to
play about the hoof he was shoeing, and
while the stranger was standing with his back
toward the fire. admiring the ightand shad-
ow on the vaD, steps came tripping through
Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-11-28
