R6s- The Scranton Republican, thoroughly re-
liable authority, in answer to some inquiry oil
ours. introduces the War Horses of Luzerne
Democracy, who are eager for rampage on
the floor of the Senate at Harrisburg, to our
Democracy, thusly. 1t may be OF Importance
here but il does not touch the main point, 4. e.
Have these patriots always supported the
ticket, whether or no?
"The Stroudsburg Je1ersonian says the
Democracy of Monroe want to know who
Messrs. Samuel Turner, Abraham Dunning
and Dr. Wheeler are? We can give the in
formation in brief: Mr.. Turner is the gentle
man who received the nomination for Con-
gress at the last Democratic Convention OF
Luzerne and when the committee brought him
into the Court House to introduce him, the
convention became so enthusiastic, and cried
so Justify "Put him out" that he didn't even
| thank the convention for their nomination
| Mr.. Turner is now State Senator from this
county Mr. Dunning is one of the most chat
ty and oily politicians in this county, common
| ly known as Slippery Abe. He has been
cheated oftener by his political colleagues
than any Democrat in Luzerne, and is at pres
ent very much disgusted with his chances O
| being nominated for Senator. DIR. Wheeler Is
a gentleman of the "Boss" Tweed order in the
Democratic conventions, and rules with re
lentlessness and tyranny rarely seen outside o
Tammany Hall. The Doctor is venerable IL
appearance, and thinks himself shrewd as {
| party manager. His chances are not very
promising The Democracy of Monroe had
better scrape an acquaintance with DIR. VIM

ing heard somewhere, that DR.. Pier has never
baked, but is eager to gallop down the dose

Rzy~ Luzerne county has been having quite
a sensation over an attempt of one oftheir orna-
mental Judges TO lick the tiger. He went to
work, bold as a sheep, to skin the animal, in
shape of a returned Californian, outright, but
his weight of metal proved too light, and he
got scratched and bruised to the tune of some
$1,000 The name Of the Judge is Pfouts
and, as a matter of course he holds high po-
sition in the ranks of the sturdy Democracy OF
Luzerne. At each bite of the Tiger the Judge
would endeavor TO staunch the blood and as
suage the pain by covering the wound with a
bank check, and, in the end, endeavored to
heal all up sound by repudiating the plasters.
This however, did not work, and the conse-
quence is, that an exposure followed which is
a disgrace to the Judge and the party which
elected him, and which should secure for him,
well merited punishment for his crime. Such
Indulgence, by one occupying the position
held by Judge Pfouts, is an outrage Of the first

Are our farmers, and people generally,
bestiring themselves with their preparations
for the coming Fair of the Monroe county
Agricultural Society? There is no time tc
spare, and every one should be up and doing,
so as to make this falls fair an improve
ment upon all which have preceded it. flour
Fairs, as is alledged, are not what they shall
be, our farmers, mechanics, and handicrafts-
men and women are possibly more to blame
for it than anybody else. They should bring
forward specimens of their skill in competi-
ton for the prizes, as well as give their per-
sonal attendance ON the exhibition. We
should then have some thing that would be
worth spending the time to look at, and
something to induce the management to do
more on its part to make the Fairs more
nearly what they should be.

From what we learn, we judge that eff
forts are making to make the proposed camp

hood, gatherings of more than usual interest
to the Christian world. The localities choos-
en- both at Hinkle's woods and at the Water
Gap, are excellent in every particular; easy
Of access, and well supplied with shade,
water and all the other conveniences neces-
sary to secure the comfort of all in attend
ance. A large attendance is looked for at
both, and we doubt the cause of religion will
receive large accessions from wanderers in
the outer world.

EsI~ From what we learn hereabouts, we
infer that our Democratic friends are destined
@ have Gas bilious an old time" this fall as
ever fell to the lot Of that party anywhere.
No one among them wants Office, but some
forty or fifty are terribly put to it, each one
thinking for himself for fear that an incapa-
hle or a dishonest man may be selected for
ihis or that position. 1t is marvellous to
tiiink, what prodigious amount of comfort is
ready 10 be sacrificed, in order that the right
mau may be selected for the right place. The
fsct is the Democracy know each other too
well 10 be content with things as they find
tIcm, and consequently all are loud-mouthed
IN their dcnunciations of whoever may be
sent 10 Harrisburg, or who to fill our Courts
and Offices. For the present, and keeping but
one position in view, we would suggest that,
iiy all odds, the best man to spend a winter in
the House of Representatives at Harrisburg,
is our amiable friend A. 8. e., of the Monroe
B,mocrot. He is the only representative man
Of The party we know of in these diggings and
could he get to Harrisburg from Monroe and

these two be backed up by "Bub" Wells, of
Pike, the party would possess full team with
motive power to let.

StrOudsburg has taken another step
towards the adoption of city airs. In addi-
ton to a street railroad, street sprinkler,
and steamer which we are going to have, we
are now blessed with a live milk man, who
supplies our citizens daily, with the purest
and best of lacteal fluid. Charley Hohen,
shelf, is the enterprising individual who has
come to our relief, and though he runs along
and crosses several ice cold aqueous streams
on his way to town, we do not discover that
any of the fluid enters his milch cans. We
hope Charley may never become acquainted
with and contaminated by his city brethren.

Moor's Rural Ne,1 Yorker gives the
following sensible advice to young men -
Foolish spending is the father of poverty.
Do not be ashamed of hard work Work
for the best salaries or wages you can get,
but work for half prices rather than be
idle. Be yonr own master, and do not
let society swallow up your individuality
hat, coat and boots. Do not eat up or
wear out all you earn. Compel your
selfish body to spare something for profits
saved. Be stingy to your own appetite
but merciful to others necessities Help
others, and ask no help for yourself See
that you are proud. Let your pride be
of the right kind. Be too proud to be
lazy too proud to give up without con-
quering every difficulty; too proud to
wear coat you cannot afford to buy too
proud to be in company that you cannot
keep with in expenses; too proud to lie,
or steal, or cheat; too proud to be stingy,

Grand EXcursion.-As Grand Ez

u
cursions are now the rage all over the coun-
try, save just here in Stroudsburg, gotten up
by Fire Companies, Church Societies, Brass
Bands, est III onepes genus, and as the JEFF
fersonian force sees no earthly reason why
Stroudsburg should not do as other folks do,
the members of that force have concluded to
get up such an excursion as will be an excur-
sion. We have been requested to announce,
therefore, that a Grand Excursion, with
out reguard to expense, will be gotten up,
under the auspices of the Jeffersonian force,
to commence on Tuesday the Goth of Septem-
Der, and to continue through the 2Sth and
29th, or until each participant, acting for
himself 'sgets tired and wants to go home. !"
As, owing to the one-hOrse- -ativeness of
the Railroad Company, it will be impossible
for any considerable crowd to reach the out
side world-a privilege happily enjoyed in
other localities touched by railroads, but
denied us here, unless after considerable faw-
ing and cringing to the powers that bet is
proposed that this Excursion be made from
Stroudsburg, all the way to the Fair Grounds,
where ample room, the most perfect accom-
modations, and the best and purest of cold
water can all be made to contribute to the
comfort Of the Excursionists, and if these
are not enough, we suppose the ct ceteras in
great abundance will be secured also. The
Jefersonian force propose, on the occasion
to patronize Foot & Walkers line, but kind
ly conclude to allow each party to chose his
own mode ofconveyance to and fro When
on the grounds the time can be most pleas
antly spent between the Race Course, the fly
ing circus, the double headed calf, the fancy
soapman, the huckster stands, the big
''punkens' and squashes and 'kabbitches, +"
as Congressman Paynter of blessed memory
used to spell it, the COWS, the hogs, the
sheep, and the ''Wild roaring Bulls of Bash
on, and the man who always wants to ego
a dollar that no one can tell where the little
joker is, all of which and whom will most
assuredly be on the grounds. The force
feel certain that this will prove, in all res
poets, the grandest and happiest excursion
ever made from Stroudsburg. Thousands
from all parts of the country will attend it,
and higher or heavier old time than was
ever had before, will be had On that occa-
sion. 1t Is not necessary that application
Tor tickets should be made anywhere, but all
who desire to join the crowd are most cordi-
ally invited to get ready and go. BE sure and
do not fail to put few Greenbacks in your
pockets Nothing like the "spons, to give
specie to real enjoyment. 1t is not intended
that timber knees, laying ourself awav on
wheelbarrows for rest, or warming cold hands

Nc Carty, our tireless and enterpri:

Nc Carty, our tireless and enterpris-
ing dealer in Cabinent ware, and who is al
ways keeping an eye out for the useful and
the beautiful in his line of business, has
recently had built for himself, at one of the
best establishments in the country, hearse
which, for beauty of design and elegance of
finish is unsurpassed by any thing of the
kind either in city or country. The hearse
is built mostly of iron and steel, and though
designed for country use, over roads not re-
markable for smoothness, weighs but eight
hundred pounds This is very light in
figures, but the compact and workmanlike
manner of putting together, and the excel
lance of material used in its construction is a
sure guarantee that it is capable of bearing
any burden which, in the course of its use,
may be placed upon it. The vehicle is built
in swan design, and its appointments are very
perfect and complete throughout. The sides of
the body are of the best French Plate glass,
while the coffin board, which is of solid am
boyne walnut, is furnished with the latest and
most approved style of clamps in use.
The trimmings are very neat, combining
beauty with usefulness, and are in perfect
keeping with the solemnity of the occasion
which will call the hearse into use McCarty
may be really said to be the father of Cabi-
net making and Undertaking in this neigh
borhood, as before his advent into this section
but little motion was made to keep up with
the improvements which governed the trade.
As evidence of his hberality in trade and
of his determination to spend liberal share
of his earnings for the beft of his customers,
it may not be out of place to mention that
the cost of this last evidence of his enter
prize was 81 800

and Lehigh rivers. Besides the quantity
consumed at home, immense quantities
were shipped to the cities. We learn
that the crop this year promises to sur
pass that of last year. Already they are
plenty in market, aud the gatherers OBJ
tain good prices for their berries.
