RE- Two weeks ago We noted the accident
by which a valuable horse belonging to Matt
Hallett, of Slateford, nearly lost his hoof. The
Easton Sentinel appropriated our notice, rer-
bdtiul, &c. To this we have no objection, for
we are perfectly willing to furnish our cotem-
poraries with news items, even though they 'aii
to give us credit for it. This week, some
three weeks after the occurrence, when nap
pened in Stroudsburg, with commendable en-
terprise, our neighbor of the Democrat pub
fishes the notice, and credits the Sentinel with
its authorship. We think that is what the
boys call cutting it fat"

evidences of their Stiffness, we can only say
let them enjoy it, but we can assure them
that the cause they have at heart will only
be injured by it. Sensible men feel nothing
but disgust over such proceedings.

best fruit culturists in this section, exhibited
in our Office few days since, Follenwaltel

nearly pound, was in an excellent state of
preservation, and but for a bruise on the
side, from which decay had set in, would have
been as sound as a dollar Who can beat

FRIEND CHARLES FoULKE, of the High
land Dell, is the ''truckiest" man in Monroe
county. \ visit to the Dell couple OF
weeks ago convinced US Of this fact His
truck grounds which, are quite extensive,
comprising seyera. acres, are nearly as free
from weeds as newly dug celler, and are
filed with the finest specimens of vegetation
we ever saw grow He has in growth some
5000 heads ofexcellent cabbage, red, yellow,
and white onions by the bushel, celery, corn
and potatoes in almost any quantity. HIS
manner Of raising cabbage and onions is
novel to this section of country, all Icing
grown from the seed without transplanting
Friend Charles is evidently worker, as he
encourages no Interference or assistance from
others. Besides the crops now on hand
friend Eoulke raised all the vegetables used
in the Dell House." which was filed to
over flowing with boarders, during the past
season and to feed these must have required
an immense quantity of peas, potatoes, early
cabbage and corn, beans, beets, &C., &C.
From our observation we judge him to be
model gardner, and we know that his cab
bage patch is worth walk of miles to see it.
Besides the utile, the Dell, - is worth a
visit for the picturesque and beautiful by
which it is surrounded No grander or pret
tier views can be found anywhere, and Joseph
is not the least pleasant man to come across.

aesg- The week before the meeting of the

RSg~ The week before the meeting of the
Democratic Convention, at the Court House,
the Monroe Democrat came out fercely in
favor of Furnishing Carbon, for her aggres-
sions, and declared without why or where
fore, that the Monroe Democracy, would
nominate man of her own and elect him.
The Convention was held, in which Aman-
dus o. savagely took part as Delegate,
and did a big share in securing the nomna
ton of Wm. Kistlcr. Since the Convention,
from some cause or other, Amandus's cour-
age has oozcd out of his fingers ends, and he
has not had word to say, either in defence
of the action Of the Convention, or in favor
of his candidate Like the boy in the scrinl-
mage he has hid himself in the bush, and
sung dumb most beautifully. Why is this
Did the hawks Of Carbon get after him, or
what ails him. Come, neighbor, man
should never set about stirring up stencil,
until he had made up his mind to smell it
out. " You nominated Kistler. and you
should have stood by him. Carbon will not
be very severely punished, nor Monroe much
honored if your candidate is defeated be-
cause of your desertion. You should stand
10y him like a man, at least until you saw his
brains knocked out, and until you were in
danger Of getting hurt. The fact is that our
neighbor's general editorial independence is
truly astonishing.

The Alderman says that the appearance Of
that PAGER was delusion and . snare. Although
well taken care OF, he gradually began 10 fade

hls hoofs. The Alderman placed his pony under
the care of an experienced veterinary surgeon
until the pony regalned his former plump sp-

broke down, but recovered again under sklllful
mans patience and purse, and he At last bersn
to Wish That Ia ths PAGER would M either pace Or
