Ayoiee from Albany Township.

EDITORS PICAyUNE:-J. w. Neilt, o. Emmet, wants to hear from all over the county with re. gard to his poor house question. l sec he is in favor of the county buying a pauper farm aud keeping her paupels on said farm. At the October term of the County Court in 1879, I introduced this same subject and it was opposed only by Esquire John F. Wallis. The Court appointed a committee con sisting of myself, Esq. Marsh, of Jackson township, and Esq, Jacob Whiteside, of Missouri township, to inquire into the propriety of the county adopting the measure and report to the Court st it's aext October term. But at the next term an election had been held and said Wallis elected County Judge, with the administration of all county affairs turned into the hands of the great financial party called Greenbacks, when our coun- ty scrip had only been raised to S5 cents on the dollar, and thegy proposed to run it up to dollar for dollar. We, the con mittee, made no report-we were afraid 1t mi .ht hinder them by throwing them a little to one side, and causing some delay in getting scrip up. How ever it would have come mp all the same, but we did not know that then. IT had reported I would have reported in.favor ofthe meas ure, Would to-day. Whyi Be cause many people, doubtless, are to-day being fed by the county, that if the county fed alone on the county farm, would be cared for by friends or relatives before they would suffer them sent there. Go ahead Jim, l am with you.
 Health good. Farmers late in planting bm prospects good for fine crop so far.
 A rabid dog was killed in the neighborhood on the 25lh of April at Esq. Ford's. More anon.

A CORRESPONDENT to the South, ern World in speaking of the Ar, kan sas exhibits at the New Or. leans Worlds Fair says: "The ex-
 hibit of Arkansas was especially remarkable for the immense array of mineral productions and build ing stone it contained. Twenty one specimens of marble, aal diffet- ent; large masses of pure coal and iron ore; beautiful granite, claim ed to be the pest in the world; soap stone, novacnlite or hone stone, zine and antimony ores; kaolin and manganese formed part of the display. One unique ob- ject was rustic cottage matched with 235 varieties of native grass cs. This fertile State also exhibit ed red clover seven feet high.

The Congressional Race in thi Dis
 trict.

There are four avOved icap di. dates out for Congress in this, the Third congressional district, to fill out the nnexpired term of Hon. ]. K. Jones, towit: Hon. Thos. c. McRae, of this county; Hon. Jno. T. Bearden, ot Camden; Hon. II. W. MoMlllan, of Clark county, and D. E. Barker, of Drew.
 All of these gentlemen have an nounced in some of the papers in the district, MT. McRae in crery oas of them. All'four of them are an. nounced in the Standard of Clark; all, excepting MT. McMillan, are al so ann ounced in the Washington Press of KIempstead, and Columbia Banner of Columbia. Mr. KcRae is the only one who l as announc- cd as yet in the PICAYUNE. We mention these things to show how the canvass is progressing. The other candidates seem to indirect ly cknowledge by their action. in the canvass that Mir. McRae is in- vulnerable in his own county, and the strongest man in the race, by refusing to announce ln all of the papers in the district, as Mr. Me Rae has done. They seem afraid to put up little money and go in : to It in the usual way. This article is not written in any unkind spirit toward any..ofthc gentlemen, but to show how things are going, Mess. Beardsn, McMillan and Barker have announced in only few papers, presumably where they thought they might gain votes.
 Ar, Barker is ont in circular letter, which ws have seen publish ed in one or two papers, claiming to be farmer, etc. and indirectly thus trying to gain their support and arraying ther against profes- sional men by saying not single farmer had been in Congress since 1879, from this State or Territory Gr. Barker cannot, we think, mak c much capital by such appeals ss this one.
 The PFCAYUNR is naturally for our home man, MT. McRae, but we say most emphaticaily it ia not simply because he is county man but because he is in epe,y cosceir. able tcay, preeminently qualified tc occupy the exalted position. Ht is known everywhere as a manly brilliant, industrious, temperate sociable gentleman. These and other attractions of bis, cause ns.to
 ""'n u wtt, oucu' f""
 give him our hearty support.
 While we give Mir. McRae Oul cordial commendation, 1t deters us not from saying the other gentle men in the race arc prominent and worthy. They are good men, and should they secure the Democrat ic nomination will receive our uu. divided support. But we shall continue to do what we can 10 se- cure the nomination and ele ctior of our choice, Hon. T. c. McRae
 We shall fror time to time note all the turns and twists that may develop in the race, should ehy occur.

Allentown,s silk Fntnrnr,se.

While there is little doing in iron
at Allentown, the other industries are
all busy. The silk mills established
nearly four years ago are a great success
and the good results following it have
induced a number of local capitalists to
subscribe sufficient money to put up
another large mill. Contracts have
been closed with John Ryle, of Pater-
son, to equip and run the mill which the
citizens will erect. The new mill will
be begun in few days and by the 1st
of January, 1886, It is to be ready for
occupancy. A large carpet factory is
about to be established there and Tues
day arrangements were concluded
whereby new theatre will be built on
Sixth street. These improvements, with
others now in progress and contempla-
tion, make the building outlook very
promising in Allentown this season
The new theatre is to be ready about
December /.

demurrer to the evidence intorposed by
the defence. AMI adjulgel Roberts
guilty of embezzlement, AMI sentenced
him to pay fine of 500 AMI to undergo
imprisonment at hard labor in the
Luzerne County Prison for twenty
months. The prisoner wept like child
when sentence was pronounced, and
the members of his family who were
present were also overcome.
William S. Mclean, attorney for
Samuel Roberts, the defaulting pay
master, sentenced on Saturday to serve
a two years term in the County Jail,
will take an appeal to the Supreme
Court. He regards Judge Rice decision
as in strange conflict with the pre-
ponderance Of decisions in parallel or
nearly parallel cases. He says that Mr..
Roberts was not an agent, and that there
was no testimony offered to show that
he was an agent within the meaning OF
the law. He was no, in the language of
the indictment, given the custody Ct
any money with view to its safe-keep-
ing, and Mr.. Parrish gave evidence that
the money entrusted to him was money
