The time OF John q. Adams. lived out the
term for yhich he was elected" - Demo

Not SO singular after all, when we re-
feet that after the Democracy had got
their hands in, by practicins upon Presi-
dents Harrison and Taylor, they looked
upon the matter of short. lived Presidents
so much as a matter of course that they
came very near finishing Old Buck "

prised if, for the purpose of creating a
furore ia their behalf, they continued
the practice in A. J.'s case. ~.

Communion Wine.

We have been shown specimens Of sac
ramental or pure juice wine, prepared by
Mr.. Alfred Speer of Passaic, n. j., out
of the Port Grape, which he cultivates
in this country. In taste it assimilates
to port. without its heating qualities, be-
ing absolutely free from spirits further
than its own fundamental affords. Pre-.
ference is given to it over all ather wines
in New York and other hospitals as a
tonic, gentle stimulant, diuretic and su
doriic. Mr.. Speer has been nine years
experimenting in the production of this
wine, and the newest wine he sells is
four years old, of which our druggists
have got in a supply.

The fire originated from defect in the fur.

in the shop, who at once commenced pouring
on water, had made such headway as TO rem

to MT. Brakes building The Candy shop

that we had drizzly evening, and that eve

without doubt, have been called upon TO re.

We have not heard the loss Of either gentle

Monroe Mutual for S2,3OO-ive hundred

tised on Tuesday evening TO such an extent,
that, probably, as much personal property was
stolen as was destroyed by the fire. 1t is
great pity that such disgraces to humanity
could not be discovered and punished, and,
Tor the time being, at least wiped out.
Though our fremen did as well as could
be expected under the circumstances, and
deserve credit for zeal and hard labor, and

The Registry Law.

The Registry Law which passed the
Legislature, and received the signature
of the Governor, few days ago, appears
to rankle as thorn in the side Of our
Democratic friends. They are hopping
mad about it; denounce it as political
crime of enormous dimensions; as de-
signed to operate against the interests Of
the poor man, with lots of other fustian
and faufaronade. We opine, however
that the amount of political capital they
will make out of this abuse and condem.
nation of just law will hardly add much
to the official wealth of the party. We
arc certain, indeed, that they will lose by
the Law, for its very object is to preven
the very fraud by which the Democracy
hoped to, some day, cheat itself into
power. With this law in operation and
faithfully enforced, the day of fair cleo
tious will at once be inaugurated, and the
Democracy will be compelled to bid good
by to all the aid which they have, here
tofore, received from fraudulent naturali
zation papers, the colonization of voters
and the thousand and one petty tricks BY
which they have been enabled to make ;
show of q fight and gain an occasiona
success. In the language of Rcpubli
can cotemporary =" The Registry Law

A.
must have been in a ferocious ferment
when the Jefcrsonidn, containing my last
article, was ushered in.
The result of said fermentation, were
the two articles which appeared in last
weeks Democrat, one as an editorial and
the other as communication from
" West"
On account OF the individual who wrote
the editorial, / think it great pity that
he and West" did not confer together
before sending their articles to press, for
"West," in endeavoring to hit me, punched
him most numerically and missed me
altogether
West styles "vile personality the
/" skuuk's mode Of warfare" and as there
was no "rile personality in my article,
but as the Democrats Editorial was full
of it, he fings his venom in the face of
his colleague and misses me entirely.
IF the Editor should particularly desire
personality" think could sift out a
chapter that would be "vILE" enough
to suit him, from his own proceedings
since he came to Stroudsburg, aud show
him up in way that might prove more
interesting to the public than pleasant to
him. But do not desire to do it, for the
reason that one cannot take hold of dirty
things without soiling their hands.
The Editor says, We can appreciate
sound article On any subject if the au
thor has grounds for his assertions, bat
when it comes to downright blackguar
ism then we think, with all good think
