Of hands employee! v,.tting channel through
the ice in the Water Gap This we presume
was 10 case the way for the large gorge of
ice, nearly twenty miles in length-or from
near Shawnee beyond Dingman's Ferry
This gorge has been "a grand affair, and has
been visited by thousands from many miles
away, but It's grandeur was more than COM
penSated by the great fear Of consequences
sure to flow from its sudden detachment from
it's confined position. The railroad com
pany's idea of the danger to everything in
its path was clearly set forth by the offer
made to the Portland bridge company, OF
$4,000, if they would take their bridge out
of the way before the ice started. Indeed
everybody, all along the river has been living
in trepidation for a month past over the pos
sible dircful consequences of sudden break
up, and not without reason. One Of the
incidents attendant upon the visits to the
gorge was an overwhelming sousing INDUCED

Es3r Cur neighbor, across the way, last
week, presented the claims of Judge Dreher
to the consideration of the Democracy for
Governor. That party has not man in its
ranks, better qualified nor more deserving Of
the position than is the Honorable Samuel
5. Drehcr, but the fact is that he is too good
man for the party. They do not want
such man for the position-for honest, fear
less, aud true he would stand as al inyulucr-
able bulwark against the nroads of the lead
ers on the Treasury Nor is the Democut
serious in its advocacy Of Mr. Dreher for the
position. We have seen that kind of move
before, and understand what it means as per-
fectly as does the party who dictatedit The
fact is 10 body here wants Judge Dreher to
be Governor. We all worked to place him
in the position he now fills so honorably and
50 well, and all want him to remain just
where he is-an Object of pride for us all over
the possession in him Of Il model judge, a
rare good citizen, and, in every sense of the
word Il perfect christian gentleman. Such 4
man we want here, just where the sull'rages
of the people placed him. But why talk about
it-such man the Democracy do not want
for Governor and will not nominate him.

HAVING occasion to visit up town, Il few
days since, we took look around generally,
and, among other places, dropped in to see
friend kautz. As usual we found Valentine
up 70 the very top of his head i'll business
first here, then there and then somewhere
elso-jut all the time having keen eye to
everything that was going on-aGd making
particular note that every man, in every par
ticular branch Of business, was going on pre-
cisely as it ought to-cach one selecting the
best material and fashioning it in the best
shape to meet the purpose for which it was
intended. Watching our opportunity we
finally succeeded in fastening on TO Valentine
and then we took a look around to see what
was to be seen. The visit Was pleasant, and
the view was most gratifying, Us setting forth
before Us the fact that Monroe county folks
have no heed to go abroad for anything, from
plain rivet to horse we'll shod-lrom a
whecLbarrow to the most stylish carriage that
rolls over the road-and there were wagons
for heavy work and wagons for light work
and buggies for the wedding trip and lug
gieS for pleasure-aud carriages for the few
and carryalls for the many. and lumber in
abundance, of the best material and in the
best condition OF seasoning to make anything
that may be called for-from velocipcdc to
4 palace car-froul hand cart to u wagon
that will carry mountain load. And in al!
its departments the establishment is con-
plete-having blacksmith shop, wheelwright
shop, paint shop and trimming shop all under
one roof, and each department complete in
It's appointments and filed with the best
workmcn 10 be procured. These facts, taken
in connection with that other fact that Eaen-
tine keeps an unhinching watch over the whole
should, we think, be sufficient to induce all
to feel and TO know that in his establishment
we have just the place to 90 to, to make Ger
tain Of getting just what we want in shape Of
au outfit and the full work in that for which
we pay our money. Reader drop in and sec
for yourself. Friend kautz charges nothing
for showing what is to be seen, even though
your curiosity includes Italian Bees and the
best hive eztant; for he finds time, in CON
nection with his extensive business for a
/ pleasuraJlc attention to these too.
