GEsEVE AGE.

Died, at his residence in Hamilton township,
on the 25th inst, after a lingering illness, IE-
TER KUNKLE, aged 50 years and IL days.
Thus, one after another, the good ofour coun-
ty pass away. 1t seems but a short time since
we met Mr.. Kunkle on our streets, the very
picture Of good health. Really in the prime
of life, and with his unusual stalwart frame, and
in his usual good health,-he having never
been sick day,-we but little thought that
we would be called upon so soon to chronicle
his departure to that undiscovered bourn from
whence no traveller returns. But death loves
a shining mark, and health to-day gives way
to disease and death tomorrow. The pleasant
greetings of friends are, alasl but too often
washed out by the tears drawn forth by the
grave newly opened to receive the mortal lips
even before the words of friendship have slip.
ped the memory. Thus it was with our friend
after life of health, ere yet he had reached
the three-score years and ten allotted to man
his eyes closed in peace ON, to him, "the las
of earth"
Mr.. Kunkle was one of OR most useful citi
zens. Honest, fearless and true, he was just tc
all men, and demanded that Justice be accord
ed to him. His strong temperament may a
times have misled him but once convinced of hii
error, no one harbored more poignant regrets
or more heartily set about redressing the wrong
which his prejudices may have inflicted. Ir
all matters calculated to promote the public
good he marched among the foremost, anC
time and means were as nothing to him if they
promised the accomplishment Of the good enc
in view. In his private life he was always tht
kind husband, father and friend, and the time.

these attributes were abundantly evidenced
In his death void has been created which i

who knew him.
The esteem in which the deceased was helC
was attested by the large numbers who attend
ed his funeral, notwithstanding the storm

At a meeting of the NJ. Z. Sabbath Schooi
of stroudsburg, held April 26, 1874, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whcreas, RICHARD S. STABLES, Esq, our
dearly beloved brother and fellow laborer In
the Church, who has served the Methodist E-
piscopai Sabbath School in Stroudsburg, "a,
most acceptably and efficiently, as Superlntend-
ent for more than a quarter OF a centuary, is
now compelled by the removal OF his business
to a distant locality, to resign the position
where God has used him for such good purpose,
that he has seen the School greatly advanced
| in all its interests:
| Ard Whreas: 1t seems appropriate that the
| SUNDAY School Association, with which nc has
been so long identified, and with whom he has
labored with such harmony, should give some
expression Of their appreciation of his valuable
services, as well as of their regret at losing
them; therefore
ResoIuod, lst That in accepting the resigna-
ton of Bro Staples we feel deeply panied by
the rupture of the official bond which has uni
ted him to us; we thank him for the time, care
and effort he has bestowed on the School, whose
interests we know have ever laid near his heart
we assure him of our afiectionate remembrance
and we invoke the blessings of God upon him
wherever he may be.
I'd, That copy Of this paper be presented
to Bro. Staples, and also published in the Jef,
fers5nian and Monroe Democrat.

WALLPAPER TRIMMER If there is any
one business man in town, who deserves
mention for special enterprise in his business,
that man is our neighbor Daniel r. Brown.
Dan. as he is always familiarly called, has
always made wall papers a specially, and his
stock is always as complete as liberality in
selection and expenditure can make it but
he was not satisfied with this. His latest
move onward is the purchase of machine to
trim wallpaper solely for the benefit of his
customers, as he charges nothing for trim
ming all the paper purchased at his establish
ment. The machine is as unique in its
structure as it is perfect in operation, and is
worth a visit to the store to see it work. BY
its use less than two minutes are required tc
trim double roll of paper much better than
it can possibly be done by hand. The saving
Of time by this accommodation is wonderful
and will be appreciated by those who design
papering this spring. You have but tc
order your paper, and in few minutes il
will be trimmed and ready to go into the
hands of the paper hanger. Call and sec
the machine.

WE hear rumors Of a horse professor who
recently, in his travels, found beautiful
gray, perfect match for fancy nag owned
by one Of our most wealthy citizens. The
professor could purchase the beautiful gray
the perfect match-dog cheap, but lack
just $50 of the necessary pewter" and SO
informed the wealthy citizen. The wealthy
citizen, lusting after the beautiful gray, bit
nimb.y at the bait, and having furnished the
professor with the ''spons, sat himself down
to contemplate, in imagination, the pleasures
of ride behind the spanking team of grays.
The professor gathered up the grcenbacks
and left, and as considerable time has elaps-
ed since he left, and as nothing has been
heard either of the professor or the beautiful
gray, fears are entertained that he will re-
main left and that the greenbacks have gone
cover the left" Well, it cannot exactly be
said that, ''of such is the Kingdom of Hea-
ven, and that is some consolation.

G~ Our Democratic cotemporaries are
having good time, and doing considera-
lie amount of rejoicing over the recent cleo
tons From the result in several Of the
States they argue good results for themselves
in the coming elections for Governors and
President They overlook their experience
in the past altogether, and forget that here
tofore the intervening elections have general
ly gone for them. The fact is that the mass
Of the people but seldom take interest in
these elections. The consequence is that the
vote is generally light. Republicans being
stay at home folks allow the result to go by
default When, however, principles are in
danger there is neither hesitation nor doubt
as to the result. Then the work goes bravely
on, and, whereas, now Democrats win by
small majorites then Republicans will step
into the Offices by largely increased MAORI
ties. Now, we feel good deal like joining
with the Democracy in their rejoicings. 1t
does them so much good to huzza them
selves hoarse over Connecticut and New
Hampshire that we would greatly like to
huzza with them. When we, however, re-
fleet over the past we cannot find it in our
heart to indulge the bent Of our inclinations,
in view of the sore heads and dismal groans
and woebegone phizes which will be theirs in
the future as sure as the future comes to
them. We would, however, say to them
take your time Miss Lucy, for the day of
your rejoicing is short, while the day of your
tribalation is near and certain. There are
few more of those popular frauds which have
heretofore routed you horse, foot and
dragoon in store for you, and they are sure to
come.

winter have doubtless supplied US with all
the piety necessary for the work, but we
need the other concomitants to make the
piety permanently effective, to hold it well
in hand, and to secure its extension to the
many who have thus far neglected to avail
themselves of the grace set before them

should be born in mind that long prayers and
long faces, alone, have not made similar
institutions in other places a success.
