GONE TO KILL BuFFALOEs.-Messrs. John
Taylor, John stedmon, and Lafayette Lcntz
started on Thursday morning for Sayre,
where they met Robert A. sayre, ESQ,
and a party from Bethlehem, who, in a
special car, started for trip to Denver, Col.
The party propose TO spend two or
three weeks on the plains shooting buiialoes
and sporting secreatiop in general. As they
aim to "snail'' goodly number of buiih-
Ices, the friends of our Mauch Chunk party
are already whetting up an appetite for
buiialo-bake. May the party shoot and
kill great number of builaloes, and reach
their homes with their own scalps intact.
In view Of the Indian outbreak in the West,
we have at least enc assurance for the safety
OF our friends some Of them are bald.
DR.. Schall and Barney Mansfield,
prominent politicians of Monroe county,
have been on a visit here during the week.
They say that Democrats were never more
bouyant in Monroe than at present or more
determined to win a victory for tho party.
Their opinion is that Daniel O. Barr will
make almost clean sweep in their county.
The Democratic meeting in Summit
Hill on Saturday night, notwithstanding
the uniavorable state of the weather, was
decided success. Telling speeches were
made by E. II. Rauch, S. Motzer, G. w.
Esser, DR.. Donnelly, John Kline, and DR..
c. W. Lentz. 1t was not a mass meeting,
but very largely attended meeting of the
Democratic Club. The word from the Sum
NIT is that the Democrats having learned
that "neighbor politics" do not pay in the
end, at that place, will poll solid party
vote for Kresge and Esser.
Speaking Of hunting parties; but moth
ing this season compares with a party
that secured the south sidcof Mauch Chunk
mountain on Saturday. The party consist
ed of four gentlemen from Summit Hill,
llacklebernie, and Mauch Chunk. The
singular fact is that each Of the four sports
men is maimed, either in body or limb, one
had but one arm to handle his fOwling-
piece with, and another has to use pair of
crutches. They had a good time, but did
not capture much game.
The Common Pleas cases before the
Court this week have attracted more than
usual interest. Some of the cases occupied
considerable time, and necessitated one eve
ming session.
There are six prisoners in the county
Jail at present, two of whom are females.
The Commissioners held their regular
meeting this week, ordered number of
bills paid, and heard reports from those who
have charge of the repairs on the county
buildings and bridges. The bridge at Par
ryville has just been completed, and gives
great satisfaction. The Court, now in ses-
sion, invited the Commissioners in consult
alton on Thursday afternoon in relation to
the proposed bridge across the Poho- POGO
creek, near Fracksville.
The candidates of the respective parties
are now all settled down to hard campaign
work, recognizing the short time they have
between now and the 4th of November, to
present their claims for support. The Re
publican candidates find their work unusu
al arduous, in view of the fact that the par
ty organ, without nominal publisher or
editor, has little or no influence while such
suJ-rosa movements in political matters is
certain to engender a suspicion that there is
a "cat in the meal :" and as voters have had
quite surleit of "cat n-the-neal" politics,
they are inclined to give this one a wide
berth.
The prominent Democratic speakers
will attend Democratic meetings to be held
this, Saturday, evening at Wislcr's hotel,
and on Tuesday evening at Colerane.
