ilton, Jacob Freeman, of Bethlehem,
j ohm Lewis, of Lower Mt. Bethel, Abra
ham Sigman, Samuel Taylor, Peter
Young c.. S., Daniel Raub aud Hiram
Yard, of Easton, Jacob Weiss, of Upper Mt.
Bethel, John Ziegenfuss, of Bethlehem,
and Adam Daniel, of Nazareth, were all
willing to serve the people in this capac-
ity. There was but little scrambling-
proportionately speaking-for Offices of
really more honor and responsibility, tho
less emolument. For the County Com
missionership, the duties of which have
SO intimate connection with the fnan-
cial interests of the taxpayers, there were
but three patriotic enough to offer them
selves-Joseph Snyder, afterwards res
ident of our borough, Peter Nungesser,
and John Wormau, all of Easton. Oh
those whose names are mentioned above
iu political connection, and who were
men of note and influence in their day
how many are now living? Alas! Death
has been busy with them. With but two
or three exceptions, all have passed from
time to eternity and the history of theil
day is repeating itself in the persons ant
conduct of their successors.
In politics, as we have already said, th'
Gazette was Democratic-in religion i
was neutral, as we infer from the fac
that its editors declare that " on religion
subjects our columns must be completel
close" but, on the question of 't divi
sion of Northampton and the erection o
the proposed county of Fulton" all mean
in the editors power were enlisted :" t
affect SO desirable an object" Some fv
years thereafter the division was effected
but, for some cause or other, tho name @
Fulton was not adopted.
We never spent an hour more pleas
antly than was that which we devoted t
the reading and thinking over the con
tents Of the Gazette. We might mora
lize over the changes that have oecurre
since the time of its publication and tn
present, but we have already expendc
our time and room. We may refer to
again, when we will not fail to enlarg
upon the fact, that but few of our oldes
inhabitants know that such paper as TIL
&" .Stroudsburg Gazette. was ever publish
ed in our borough. To our friend Pete
Williams, we are under obligations for tn
number before US.

Painful Accident.

On Saturday afternoon last, as John
Adams, ir. (colored), was oiliDg some ma
chiuery at Merritt's (late Singmaster's,
tannery, in this borough, a portion Of his
coat, which was very ragged, was caught
by the cogs of Wheel. and his body
drawn between two revolving shafts iu
such manner that. the projecting bolta ol
one of the shafts grouted his back and
hips, cutting through the flesh, and la
cerating him in most horrid manner
But for the fact that he grasped and held
on to beam, with almost superhuman
strength, he would have been literally
ground to atoms by the machinery he was
greasing. He was released by the fna
tearing away of all his clothing, when be
fell from his position on to some tan bari
below. Kfter his fall, his cries brough
his fellow workmen to his relief, who car
ried him into the Office of the tanuery
when his injuries were most skillfully
dressed by DR.. Seip. We understand
that he is mending as rapidly as is posi-
BILE under the circumstances. The acci
dent, as is too often the case with acei
dents happening about machinery, wa
the result of earelessness-th elimbin:
through the machinery, instead of goiui
directly to the spot to be creased b.
means of ladder. This should serve q
warning to others.

REDUCTION IN PRICE
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCHES,
MADE AT WAITHEM MASS

In consequent of the recent great decline
in gold and silver and all the materials used
in the manufacture of our goods, and in an
ticipaton of still further Decline we have
reduced our prices TO as low point as they
can be placed
With Gold at Par,
so that no one need hesitate to buy watch
now from the expectation that it will be
cheaper at some future time. The test of
ten wears and the manufacture and sale of
More than 100000 Watches,
have piven our productions the very highest
rank among tlmekeepers. Commencing with
the determination to make thoroughly excel
lent watches, cur business has steadily IN
creased as the pubic became acquainted
with their value, until for months together,
we have been unable to supply the demand.
We have repeatedly enlarged our factory
buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground. and give accommodation to
more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we
now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade
marks engraved on the plate

that if after the most thorough trial, an
watch should prove defective in any partiC

by his medicines have been very numerous

professional visits to several of the larger

of pltienls, and it is truly astonishing to see
poor consumptives that have to be lifted ont
