We confess to a good deal of ignorance
concerning the nature, cause and extent
Of the troubles which bsset our Agricul-
tural Society. We only know that the
institution is in trouble, financially, and
that instead of hiving Fair ana t1hib-
iting fat swine aid u;5 pumpkins, the
same is showing a lear prise and max
ing manifest the Apple of Discord. In
all respects this state of affairs is to be
regretted Here stands Carson midway
of the most beautiful agricultural val
leys in the State. Our position goes for
naught. however and Reno has quite
distanced us in the matter Of State Fair
and annual cattle show. The Carson
Agricultural Society seems to be the vic
tim OF mismanagement. III We under
stand the circumstances under which its
actual operations began, there was an
abundance OF money subscribed 10 put
the work on a cash basis. If this were
not the case. the opening Of grounds
and the mourning Of liabilities WAS en-
tirely mystified. Now, while not blam-
ing anyone, and while We have no sug.
gestions to make, SIS to What is best to
get matters righted. we take this oppor-
tunity to remind our fellow townsmsn
that there are many strong reasons why
Carson should sustain, IN handsome
style, some such an institution As vas
projected when this Agricultural Society
vas conceived Of. It comes TO Our ears
that the Carson race course 10 about
passing out OF its present ownership
into the hands of gentleman whose
purpose it will be to divide the same into
town lots and offer them for sale. II
this il done, OF course We shall be cutie
without . race track. unless. indeed, the
Agricultural Scciety's original plans are
carried out and their track be perfected.
Now these are important matters. This
city needs q race course. Nothing e1.
osps i. be . grand fair. brings SO many
money spending people to town As .
season Of races. We are interested in
getting the troubles xhi.h bsset tho So.
ciety fully and speedily adjusted. 1t 10
we'll worth while that a meeting o! cit.
zens be held and an executive committee
be appointed. The APPEAL will lend .
helping hand 10 any scheme which leads
to the adjustment o: existing troubles.

The Stage from Catholic Point of View.

The Catholic church docs not find in the
dramatic profession aught to condemn. 1t
is an honorable profession. The actor, the
lawyer the merchant, the banker have all
their duties to perform, always subseryient
to the claims of religion. First strive to
save your soul, and then become good ac-
tor, lawyer, or whatever you wish The
drama, properly considered, is full of good
lessons, the ultimate triumph Of virtue un-
der an amnL~circumstances and the defeat OF
hypocrisy ana viGts? Were the stage as
fond Of the church as the church is of the
stage, all would be well. Were the drama
as respectful to the priesthood, as the
priesthood is to it, there would not be a
word against it. The drama has not trea-
ted the church as we'll as the church has
treated it. 1t is wrong to place a priest
upon the stage in false light. The drama
tic element pervades everything Life is
a drama, and death is the most moving of
all the dramas in this world The great
sacrifice of the mass, which has been offered
up for the repose Of our deceased friend, is
a play, and the most successful play that
has ever been produced. 1t has enjoyed
run of nineteen centuries, commencing with
divine tragedy Of Calvary, and will last to
the end Of time 1t is the great play of
Christ's passion, the constant repetition of
the play which resulted in the redemption
of the world The Catholic church always
shelters her children, and her arms are
streached forth for them No matter what
distracting profession Il man may be in,
this loving mother will be his guardian,
and at the moment of death she is beside
him.-Fdthcr Young ut Dan B'yant's

sTROUDsBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA, JUNE 8, 1875

mon to the government of most of the large
municipalities, of the municipal taxation in
this and other States of the Union, it be-
hooves our Legislature to devise adequate
means to protect the people as well from
existing maladministration as to prevent its
recurrence, and to this end we suggest as
a preliminary step thorough investigation
by an able and experienced commission, to
be formed under proper authority, Of the
whole subject.
ReSotced That we arraign the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania for its utter
failure to redeem the promise upon which
it partially attained to power in this State.
1t pledged itself to reform, to legislative
purity, to greater economy and to higher
aim in legislation while it has reformed
nothing, has economized in nothing, has
dishOnored the State by an unseemly and
arbitrary exercise of legislative powers.
Resolced, That the efforts now being
made by the national administration to
ferret out and bring to punishment those
who have been defrauding the government
of its lawful revenues should enlist the
sympathy and hearty support of honest men
of all parties.

The Fast Boy.

We have him here in Stroudsburg as
well as other towns The following descrip-
ton pictures him exactly, aud will be found
to fit tight: He may be seen any day, in
almost any part of the village he never
makes room for you on the sidewalk, looks
at you saucily, and swears smartly if asked
anything he is very impudent, and often
vulgar to ladies who pass he delights in
frightening, and someties does serious in
jury to little boys and girls he louges at
the street corners, and is the first arrival
at dog fight or any other sport or scrape
he crowds into the post office in the even
ing, and multiplies himself and his antics
at such Il rate that people having legiti-
mate business are crowded out; he thinks
himself very sharp, he is certainly noisy
he can smoke and chew tobacco now and
then, and rip out an oath at most any time /;
we ask whose boy he is. Mother is he
yours We think he is, for there are many
good qualities in the lad, and we do not
think that you know what he does on the
street. Look after him, mother keep him
more at home. Train him and you will
have a son to be proud of.

Last Saturday.night a gentleman named
John Lynch, OF this city, while stand
ing in front of the Planters House, on

face looked familiar. and, stepping up to

was, and after talking for few moments
with Mr.. Lynch, passed on. Lynch re-
cognizcd in Modgicy man who had
been incarcerated in the county Jail at
Golconda some months ago for burning
barn, and knowing that he had escaped
on the 18th inst, made up his mind to
watch him and have him arrested. Ac-
cordingly, he followed his man, who
went straight 10 the livery stable O; Mr..
Parker, where he had left fine grey
gelding, and mounting him, rode out to
The Mississippi levee. Lynch informed
