THE PRESIDENT ON THE RESULT.

In response to q serenade at Wash.
ington Saturday evening, President
Grant said: -,
GENr1EMEN: / am very glad to meet
you on this occasion, and to congratulate
you on so good cause for rejoicing to the
entire country as over the elections of last
Tuesday. While the Republican MAORI
ties were not great, they were sufficient to
accomplish the purpose. The rag baby
has been entirely suppressed, and the peo-
pie now know what kind of money they
are to have in the future, and I think we
have an assurance that the Republicans
will control this government for at least
four years longer.

PERsoNAL.-Miss Ida Posten, daughter
of NJ. B. Posten, former resident of this
place. is on visit to her relatives and num-
erous friends hereabouts.
Last Tuesday afternoon, Miss Sue. Van
Buskirk, Miss Alice Schoonover, Miss Eta
Bush and about twenty-five others of her
lady and gentleman friends, rendered her a
complimentary picnic to the Delaware Water
Gap. The affair was one of great enjoyment
to all who participated and particularly graft
flying to the fair one for whom it was gotten
up.
The afternoon was spent in rambling
through shady hooks and dells, boating, and
disposing of the good things provided by the
ladies. The night train brought the pleasure
seekers home, all happy and delighted with
the pleasures of the day.

a Fool and hfs Money soon
parted

y few years ago our citizens will remember
that a certain character calling himself DIR.
Allen, was in the place selling the Electric
Green Mountain Oil" Well the said DR..
put in an appearance on show day, last
Saturday, and announced his vocation now
to be selling one dollar bills-or any other
kind, for that matter. After a little maneu-
vering, by giving away rings of no value,
and scattering among the crowd ten cent
currency, in order 10 disarm suspicion and
by selling one dollar for seventy-fve cents,
and then by folding up ten dollar bill and
pretending to put it into box, he would
ask who would give five dollars for said box;
and, strange to say, he found many buyers,
who instead of getting ten dollars, gave five
and got one. And then to vary the exercises
and increase the interest, he folded twenty
dollar bill and pretended to put it into box
in presence of the audience and then asked
who would give him fifteen dollars for one
dollar, and found several ready buyers, who
were green enough to suppose they were get
ting twenty dollars for fifteen but unfortun-
ately they got just one dollar for fifteen.
Grumbling availed nothing. When the DR..
got through at one point he would blandly
bid them good day, and presently pull up at
a new point and gain new audience, and
per consequence-new victims. We think
all who got swindled out of their money de-
served it, for it seems impossible for some
persons to learn wisdom from other persons
folly. But many such, were compelled to
learn that fool and his money is soon
parted

Sale Of the personal property Of
the late Jacob Singmaster.

4 better representation of the solid men of
north eastern Pennsylvania is seldom witness
ed than was afforded by Stroudsburg on We'd
sale of the personal property of the late Jacob
Singmaster, consisting of horses, a magnificent
assortment OF carriages, fine blooded cattle,
agricultural implements, and other articles of
minor value in abundance. As early as Tues
day afternoon hearty looking old fellows of
portly form and an air suggestive of the "rhi-
no" were frequent upon our streets, dressed
most carelessly comfortable, and lazily putting
their Havanas as they strolled along our
streets eying the property and looking as if
they had half notion to buy our pretty little
borough. The arrival of every train swelled
their number and on Wednesday noon, Strouds-
burg could have furnished as goodly quota to
heavy weight clam bake as any town of its
population in the country. At l o'clock, the
hour advertised for the commencement of the
sale an immense crowd thronged the beautiful
grounds belonging to the estate. Ex-Sheriff
Henry engineered the sale with his usual skill
and address. The bidding was spirited and
the articles generally brought good prices
The entire property sold footed up in value
$3,S17 62. Below We give a list of the princi-

Smallpox and diptheria are diseases
which have always been thought to thrive
best in the winter season, because people
then live most indoors, cut off from the
free circulation of the air, and these mala-
dies feed on an atmosphere poisoned and
impregnated by themselves. 1t is curious
therefore, to remark that in New York
both smallpox and diptheria have increased
very alarmingly since the beginning Of
summer, there being last week 100 of the
former and A of the latter reported to the
Board of Health of that city. Another
curious feature is that the smallpox is not
confined to the districts where it would be
most likely looked for by reason of tene-
ments thickly crowded with human beings
but is steadily moving up town into neigh
borhOods not often visited by diseases of
its vlrulent character. 1t New York CITY
has, at all times, innumerable pest holes in
which disease may be engendercd, and from
which it may spread through the air to dis
tricts the most healthy.
