AM APT SPECIMEN OF DEMO-

In 1869 the Republicans organized the
State Senate. An Act passed in 1858, fixed
the number of officers at 80, and the Senate
was organized in strict compliance with this
Law But before the vote was taken for the
election Of said officers, the economical Dem
Gratis, to make a cheap show Of economy,
put forward Senators Burnett and McCan-
dies to offer an amendment, which. in effect,
was 10 cut down the number to a, it being
s less than the law called for, and all the
hutton. But in 1871, the Democrats acci-
dentaly got a majority in the Senate, and
had fam opportunity Of showing their sin
eerity in their professions of economy in
electing less number of officers than the
law called for But what did they do about
it? Why, in the first place, they
elected the 81 officers authorized by
law, and afterwards proceeded to elect II
more, though the law expressly provided
that there should be but 32 In 1869 the
Democrats voted in the State Senate that "a

duties of the Senate Chamber, but in 1871 !,

they elected 49 officers to do the same work
The pay of the officers of the Republican
Senate of 1870, was $26, ,466, while the pay
of the officers Of the Democratic Senate of
1871, was $47, ,9O4 Truly this is a striking

Our citizens will probably be gratifed to
learn that the "Union" fire engine has recently
been thoroughly overhauled, at the works OF
Mr.. Geo. E. Stoaffer, at East Stroudsburg, and
that it is now in first-class working order. The
Company which "runs" with this machine,
have in the past, proven themselves fremen of
no mean pretensions, while the engine, although
very small one, has always given perfect
satisfaction when called into service. How

Thefe Is mystery connected with an
incident which occurred near small bridge
which crosses the Mountain creek, - short
distance above Kellers mill, Cherry Valley,
which may well excite the minds of all we'll

immediate and thorough investigation. 1t

which, upon investigation, were found to be
completely saturated with blood fla crime

The fact having become established IN
the minds of our citizens, that the long
talked of band had become defunct lnstltu-
ton, and always eager to listen to anything
in the shape of music, were very agreeably
surprised on Friday last, as an organ grinder
put in an appearance upon our streets. Old

youth and sterner sex of our borough, rushed
to the doors, windows and balconies, and
listened in mute astonishment at the dulcet

The woods meeting at Durfee's Island

The woods meeting at Durfee's Island,
near this borough, held last week, under the
auspicies of the NJ. Z. Congregation OF

cred upon the ground. Nothing occurred dur
ing the whole of the proceedings to mar the
solemnity of the occasion, while the proceeds,
which are to go towards iquidating the debt
now resting upon the parsonage recently erec-
ted by that congregation, were, we learn, very
liberal. This will undoubtedly be the last
woods meeting of the season, as the weather is
getting most too cool for camping out-especial-

Corner Loafing.-The practice of
corner loafng is, we think, INDUCED in to
entirely too greatan extent by our young men,
and one which the proper authorities should
set an immediate veto upon. Itappears that
they gather in groups for the express pur-
pose of deciding which one of the party can
make use of the most vulgar and pro-
fame language, and to insult every lady who
may have occasion to pass by them. We

Mr.. EDIToR.-In the Good Book we read,
that "a whale swallowed Jonah" Well, sup
pose he did-and we have no desire to dispute
the fact-he certainly had a tough customer to
masticate. If that whale ever thought for a
moment that he had a delicate subject to deal
with, he fooled himself most numerically
Again, the fact that Jonah swallowed a whale,
have taken a smaller specimen of the fnny
tribe as a deser:-for instance sturgeon, for
who knows but his hunger at that time may
have been insatiate. Be all that as it may /;
Jonah still lives, and, in the way of singing
schools, is live business man. He is, at pre-
sent, engaged in conducting several schools
in this county, and, if we may be permitted to
judge, by the progress of the one which we at
tended a few evenings since, we can safely as
sert that the scholars under his tuition, are
rapidly developing themselves into first
class musicians. A person who has never at
tended singing school, can form no idea of
the patience that teacher is required to have,
in order to conduct the institution successfully.
JOu WIS SiullIcll Will DOl2S anu SlCD, Dut he
certainly never taught singing school, or his
patience would have become exhausted-con-
sequently, Jonah has more patience than Job.
This apparent Indifference on the part of
Jonah, may, perhaps, be credited to the enor-
nous meal of which he partook-the whale
The lads and lassies-and especially the lassies
are plump, rosy, and handsome, and oh, how
our heart futtered in our "bussom," as the

lips How we wished We were 4 boy again

a grand concert, and we feel assured in saying,
that all who attend, will be amply repaid for
their time and money, besides catching a
glimpse of some of the handsomest of Gods
last best gift to man-the ladies. SoLoN

Union Republican State Central Commit
tee or Pennsylvania,
La PIERRE HOUSE,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IL. 1871.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept II, 1871.
To the Republicans Of Pennsylvania:
We tender you our hearty cougratula.
tions over the glorious victories recently
won by the Republicans of California and
Maine. In the former, State has been
won, after four years of Democratic mis-
rule, by an overwhelming majority, aud
in the latter the firm hold of the Repub.
lican party upon the people has been
maintained with tenacity that cannot
be shaken.
The victory in California has been
gained after an arduous and exciting
struggle. 1t is the result of systematic
york, and it demonstrates the value OF
organization and we'll directed political
labor. The victory in Maine has been
won by keeping up the admirable or
ganlzations perfected in past years, under
the operation of which the Republican
vote has been thoroughly brought out.
Both these victories show to US the
value and the necessity of thorough or.
ganization. They ought to inspirit us
with the most ardent zeal and with a
determination to initiate the example so
worthily set us. We appeal to you. there
fore, while rejoicing over the victories of
your brethren elsewhere, to do as they
have done, aud secure by your systematic
labors victory as complete as theirs.
The steady stream of Republican sue
cess, which setting in with Connecticut,
has since flowed on without interruption,
must not be checked in its onward flow
by Republican defeat in Pennsylvania.
We owe it to our friends in the States
which have SO gallantly upheld our ban
ner to stand by them, and keep Penn
sylvania in the phalanx of Republican
States.
We can do this only by cultivating a
spirit of union and harmony, keeping up
our local organizations actively, and work :
ing steadily and with will to bring out
every Republican vote Everything
depends upon organization and work.
Our intelligence from all parts of the
State is cheering and encouraging. All
that is wanted now is little close atten-
tion to the details of local organization
No political victory was ever won without
attention to these details; and we RELY
upon your spirit, energy, and zeal to
carry them out systematically and render
them effective.
Let the Republicans of the State be
true to themselves and to their cause,
stand firmly by their State nominees and
local tickets, and put their ward and
township mittees into vigilant activity.
and we shall be able to send back to
Maine and California, and their sister Re.
publican States response as cheerful and
gladdening as their messages of triumph
have been to US.
