thing in his line and of the best quality,

customers. He has six large store rooms,
and an extensive basement beside, which are
always filed with the choicest bedroom and
parlor suits, and host oforticles from which
to make promiscous selection besides Vacan-
cies made by sales to day are always filed by

r%~TIow about candidate for Represen-
sative this fall? Republicans are you giving
this subject your attention. Itis one ofvltal
importance if we are to consider 1t worth
while longer to maintain an organization IN
this county. 1t would be burning shame
for US to allow it to be said that there is no
Republican party in Monroe county and that
we here occupy neutral ground, while our
brethren all around Us are fighting the great
latte for the maintenance Of the principles
established by the results Of the war. And
how can we do otherwise unless we make use
of our opportunities here at home. Let us
lie up and doing therefor and force a contest
which will compel us to stand where we be-
long. clearly in the right. Let US nominate
a candidate and work and vote for him, and
we feel assured that We will all be surprised
at the result. We may have no hope offs
cess, but by following this course we will
have secured for ourselves the proud satisfac-
ton of having for once done our duty. When
we get in the way Of doing this We can then
make demands which will at least meet with
respect, abroad, which is luxury we have
not enjoyed as party for many years.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR-One of

PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.-One Of
the notable events OF the year Is to take
place at Easton At the most propitious
season or our usually bright Autumns the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society
Will hold its twenty second annual exhibi-
ton.
The display gives fruitful promise that
it will be one of the very best ever held
under the auspices of the Society. The
entries are free to all The Society has
wisely determined that the books of entries
shall close week before the opening, so
that complete arrangements may be made
of the entries offered for prizes. The time
is at that period in which clear, good
weather may almost be counted a certainty
The premiums upon many articles have
been considerably enlarged.
The arrangements for meetings each
evening Of the Fair are a new and excellent
feature. In these meetings farmers may
learn from one another, to the benefit o.
the great economical interests which the
Society is so anxious to foster.
A large display of improved farm stock
will be on exhibition-of fine horses anC
all the best breeds of horned cattle. The
exhibition of manufactured articles, usefl
as machinery, or as aids to the farmer, i
certain to be worthy of attention. So man,
assurances in these respects have been given
that we feel confident in stating that tn,
display in all departments will be entirel,
satisfactory. The officers are now at Eas
ton, the books of entry open, and all appli
cations for space in person or by letter vii
receive the most prompt attention from
them.

'While Great Britain has six hundred

dollars in promises to pay money, which
promises have for nearly thirteen years
been discount, though our country pro-
duces annually more gold and silver than
any other in the world. Not only have we
not resumed payments in specie, but we
have made no preparations to resume"
