school houses thou art the man, and to
such as thee are we beholden for "the miser-
able condition" Of the tumble down school
houses in which we are compelled to educate
our children. Yes, Mr.. Judge, you would
hit it then exactly, for had you and your
compeers taken half the pains to secure pub
lie confidence in your dictatorship, that you
did to secure public distrust of your motives,
we would now have had school house we
could have looked upon with pride, and
walks leading to it which would have secured
our children from 'getting ankle deep in
mud" and prevented them from slip and
fall on the ice every time they go up and
down" 1t was not opposition to a new
school house that prevented this, but opposi-
ton to the school house so planned in mys-
terry and secrecy that it was more than the
public could guess whether, after all, it was
not ring movement which would result in
depriving us of school house altogether

A new motor, discovered by a Philadc-
phian named Keely is making great sen
sation among scientific and mechanical pco-
| pie. Exactly what it is remains a secret
and quite possibly is unknown to the inyen.
tor himself Water, taken from the ordi
nary pipes, is converted without the aid Of
fire or chemical action into an ex
pansive substance that has given pressure
Of 1000 pounds to the square inch The
change appears to be a mechanical pro-
cess of combining air and water, without
any employment or evolution of heat. The
could steam, or whatever it may be, is elias
tic and entirely manageable. The genera
tor used consists of number of iron
cylinders connected by pipies and fitted
with cocks and valves. These must be ex,
ceedingly strong to bear the pressure, and
providing them appears to be the chief item
of expense. No fuel is required to get up
the steam produced by this process. The
invention is considered so fully a succes:
that company with large capital has been
formed to manufacture the machines Mr.
Keely says that he intends to furnish one
that will take a train of cars from Philade-
phia far more easily and cheaply than 10
comotive 1t is said that some of the
machines will soon be ready for practical
use. In case they prove successful the
railroad and steamship lines, as well as many
manufacturers, will soon be able to laugh
at the strikes in the coal regions.

of strawberries had been reported at The
Delaware railroad office, in this city, Is
having passed over their road. Although
throughout the shipments other fruits, as
well as early vegetables, were put into the
cars with the berries, the railroad officers
have concluded that each car contained On
an average eight thousand quarts of straw
berries, and on their estimate we will as,
sumo that such was the case Multiplying
the number of cars by the number of est,
mated quarts contained in EACH we find
that in all five million nine hundred and
thirty six thousand quarts were sent away

price paid for Strawberries, say twelve

penses, was about SIS 900.

cracy! Why the talk Of the leaders is u
nanimous-that the fact that the Democratic
party hereabouts has not been totally ruined,
is because our distinguished neighbor has
been so much of ''nir acisseI" that the par
ty discovered his true status and acted indie
pendently Of a sore, the cure for which a
remedy had not yet been discovered
Again: Our distinguished neighbor owns
the county patronage because he has "been
here in business nearly nine years and has
never received, as "a sop of course, 1.-THE
first dollars worth of job printing for the
borough of Stroudsburg-Schoch has done it
all. Well Well! Too bad!! Too
bad II! We have been here nigh on to
forty years, and must confess that we have
had some county job work, but nothing to
brag of. We have been given County work
in the same proportion as our distinguished
ncighbor Time will tell "And we have
never solicited it. What! So says our
distinguished neighbor, and we are sorry to
say that in this he is guilty of an elongation
of the truth. He has not only solicited the
work but has offered to do it very cheaply
But the poor Commissioners-how they
catch it just here. "But there are some
men whose consistency is very limited in
"dced. Else some of our Democratic
County Commissioners would not try to
'patronize the opposition press. This is
g not the first time neither; they have given
" Schoch job work frequently" Poor child!
How it does whimper over the loss of a
job. Its heart is almost broken and we are
almost induced to hand job, pay, and all over
to it. But, neighbor, why not put on the
boldness of sheep. Why not, at least put
on the SembIance Of a man, and boldly blurt
out the animus which prompts the whole of
your diatribe. Why not, feeling the truth
speak out right. If you are afraid, neigh
Dor, we'll help you, and say to the Commits
sioners for you-''you refused to buy our lot
at an exorbitant price on which to build the
new jail, and now, darn you, we'll give you
Allentown thunder" That might have &C
complished something, but we doubt wheth-
er the babyish tone of ''Those County
Bonds article will scare any one against
whom it is so touchingly and so childishly,
yet so vehemently hurled.
Whether those city folks will pay any tax
in Monroe county hereafter?" we think is
more than doubtful. We will promise, how
ever, not to ask any abatement in our taxes
because they did the job in question. That
we did not do the job ourself but procured
it done was because we thereby saved ex-
pensc-that we did not call upon our dis
tinguished neighbor to do it, was because
We detest botch work and could not consent
to have it foisted on the county

THE GREAT FLOOD IN FRANCE.
Particulars of the Disaster -Grear Los
of Life.

PARIS, June 25.-The less of life by
the flood at Toulouse is appalling In the
St. Cyprian quarter 215 corpses have already
been found. The violence of the torrent
frustrated the efforts to rescue the untor-
tunate inmates of houses, and several men
were drowned in the attempt Twenty
thousand persons are deprived of the
means of subsistence in Toulouse alone, and
the disasters elsewhere are almost Of equal
magnitude. The lower part of the city Of
Moissaic on the tarn is hidden under water.
At Tremoullet, in the Department Of
-Arriege, five houses only remain standing
out of four hundred. In the district Of
Faix, the same department, two Villages
are completely submerged, and many bodies
have been found. Crops of all kinds
throughout the inundated districts have
been destroyed. The troops and authOrlta
are doing everything in their power to as
life and property. The rain has ceasGd
but it is feared that the melting Of the
mountain SHOWS will raise the waters Of the
Adour still higher. Predsident MacNlahoa
and Minister Buffet have left Paris for the
scene of destruction. The Journals mere
have opened subscriptions for the relief o. o?

Borough Election.

The election on last Saturday to decide
whether the Town Council should be
authorised to light the streets with Gas
or Oil, or by any other means, and intro
duce Water resulted in defeating the light
ing of the streets and introduction of Water
by vote of SO for to 148 against
1t is entirely fair to presume that this
result was reached through a misunder-
standing as to the effect ofan affirmative vote
Many supposing that Gas and Water would
be introduced at once without regard to
expense and tax laid to pay interest and
principal Of their cost, without any regard
to common prudence. Whereas the law
regulating the lighting of streets and the
introduction of Water, requires that the
voters must first vote their approval Of
lighting the streets and introducing Water,
before the Town Council have many right
to move in the matter at all. The Council
would be limited to tax of s mills on the
dollar for these purposes, and could not
exceed that sum even if they desired to.
The only thing the Council had in view
was the lighting of the streets. Gas is now
being introduced to our town, and the
question was whether we should take
advantage of it at once or wait, and il
mean time use kerosene, or go in the dark
Last Saturdays vote decides that We
shall so in the dark.
Another election we fear will soon b.
called for to enable all interested to vote
understandingly on this question.

Mr.. THEODORE FREDERICK, resident of
the Delaware Water Gap, while out fishing
last Monday, was bitten on the index finger
of the right hand by a rattlesnake and is suf-
fering the most intense pain from the wound.
The circumstances of the case were about as
follows: Mr. Frederick, accompanied by
Rev. DR.. Knipe, went fishing and after fish
ing some time on the Jersey side of the
Delaware river they started to ascend the
mountain at a point known as the Indian
Ladder" Mr.. Frederick, in reaching up to
catch hold of projecting rock laid his hand
upon huge rattlesnake that lay coiled up
on the rock unobserved by Mr.. f. He had
no sooner laid his hand upon the vermous
reptile than it bit him. They killed the snake
which measured three feet in length and had
eight rattles The Rev. DIR. Knipe lanced
the wounded finger, and held it in the river
for some time with the hope that free bleed
ing and the action of the water would remove
the poison. After arriving home the hand
and arm was greatly swollen, and continued
70 increase at an alarming rate, causing Mr..
f., the most excrutiating pain. All applian-
ces known to medical science are being used
yet it is feared the bite will prove fatal.
