LOCAL OPTION.

The election, on Friday last. in this coun-
ty, passed of very harmoniously, though
there was earnest work done for borough and
township officers, a general disposition was
mani ested on all sides, to bring forward the
best men, and then elect them. The cumula-
tire system, which prevails here secured a
pretty even division Of the honors and per-
quisites of office between the two great par
ties, and, with the result, all should be, If
they are not, satisfied.
The question Of license or no license, was
the all absorbing one, aud on the counting
of the votes, 1t was proved that a majority
OF between GOO and 700 of our voters decided
it in favor of license. In the borough OF
Stroudsburg the anti-license side carried the
day by 81 majority, but this amounts to
nothing more than an expression of opinion,
as the aggregate majority in the county de-
cides the question for all the Districts. But
two townships Joined the borough, Barrett
AMI Stroud, and both of them by majorities
tar below what was expected of them by the
anti license men, Now that the question
rests for three years to come, it would be
well for all hands to bury auimosities engen-
dered during the campaign, and greet each
other as men and brethren again.
Below we give the official vote on the IL
ccnse question

Legislature to justify such seizure and
it further asserts that where legal resis-

HORSE DIsEAsE.-A pair of horses, be-
longing to Mr. John Boys, of this borough,
were suddenly taken with a new disease In
these parts. on Sunday last. They were
taken with a p~rofuse sweating, which con-
tinued so long that the horses were SO re-
duced in strength as to be unable to stand.
Though everything that vetinary science could
suggest was done for them they continued to
suffer without relief. On Tuesday one of
them died, and, on opening her the intestines
and stomachc appeared as though searched
and, the impression gained that the animals
had been poisoned. We hope that such was
not the case, for we do not want to believe
that any one so 6endish had a habitation
among US.

WHAT THE PEOPLE sAY.-When public
opinion everywhere sets in one direction on
any subject, it may be safely concluded that
there are substantial grounds for the %univer-
sal verdict. That such uniformity of senti-
ment exists with regard to the properties Of
the tonic known as Vinegar Bitters, it is i'm
possible to doubt. We never travel any
where by land or water without hearing it
commended in the strongest terms by indivi-
duals of every class. Nor is the commenda-
ton vague and indefinite. On the contrary,
special cases are cited, names and dates given,
and cures of almost every variety of disease
vouched for by parties who appear to be
thoroughly in earnest, and personally cogni-
zant OF the facts they relate. Never was any
proprietary medicine conuersationaLy adcer-
ttses, ut we may use the expression to the
same extent. This disinterested riUa ,oce
eulogy, is undoubtedly a tribute to merit.
Nothing but merit could call it forth. We
are therefore compelled to believe that the
new medicine possesses extraordinary RENE
dial properties, and that they apply to nearly
all disease. This is aohat the people sag, and
We accept their decision as incontroyertible.
