We gave notice last week of an
Entertainment for the benefit of the
Milford Lyceum Association, to be
given at the Crissman House on
Thursday evening, July 23rd at
eight clock. We now desire to call
attention anew to this worthy en-
terprise. The Association needs
help in maintaining its Library and
Reading Room, and the Directors
would be very glad of funds for the
purchase of new books. Entertain
ments similar to the one now pro-
posed have been held at the same
place in previous years, and have
been very successful. Efforts have
been made in the present instance
to equal the past, if not TO surpass
it. Many kind friends will lend their
assistance and the programme is one
of unusual merit, comprising music,
vocal and instrumental, recitations
etc. Also a solo ON the Cornet by
Mrs. Whiting, of New York, which
will prove a great attraction At
the close, a collection will be taken
for the Association.

the games. Saturday afternoon the

compete for the prizes. Those who
took part were the Misses Reed,

question which has yet been de-
vised. On one side are ten silver
dollars, good the world over for their
face value, by reason of the credit of
our Government. Underneath these
he has block of silver which is the
melted product of ten silver dollars,
and which in that form is worth
just s., 5,24I. On the other side is a
ten-dollar gold piece, and under
Meath piece of gold obtained by
melting ten gold dollars. Both pieces
of gold have the same value whether
they bear the Government stamp
or are a shapeless lump. On the
silver melting, however, Mr.. Sedg-
wick will have to lose $4.75, as he
can never get that block of silver
which is worth only $5.24I back in.

MILFORD, Pie COUNTY,. PA. FRIDAY. JULY "a. 1S9G


BUsHKILL, July 2t.--The sport in
Pike county continues. The city
boarders are arriving daily and are
showing local anglers what they can
do. A party of jolly campers were
at Brink Pond, near pop, Curry's.
A fine lot of pickerel were caught in
the mill pond. One of the members
saw an enormous catamount while
carrying water from the spring in
the swamp below Browns Cabin.
The pail was dropped, and the fright
ened camper rushed into camp and
gave the alarm. The party are well
supplied with fishing tackle, and
they expect to keep their table well
supplied with pickerel, eels and cat
fish.
The above from the Philadelphia
Ledger, reminds us of the story of
man who was an unconscionable liar,
and always proved his remarkable
statements by his colored hired
man. One day in telling hunting
story he declared he had shot buck
through the right ear and hind foot
with ball, some little doubt being
manifested at the statement, Pom
pey readily responded "yessir dat
am a fac seed the buck shot. The
company still seemed incredulous
and the darkey was asked to explain
how such a thing could possibly
happen, the hind foot and ear were
to far apart. "Well" said Pomp
''dat deer was des a scratchin his
ear with him behind foot when the
Judge fired" When he was alone
with his master soon after he re-
monstrated in this wise. "Massa /
doant min perturbation your stor-
les but after this jess try and saga
ciate the parts little closer togeth-
er. 1t stretches my imagination too
much.
"Pop" Curry at Brink Pond and
Browns Cabin are at least ten miles
apart as the crow flies. The cam
per must have been unusually dry
to have gone so far for water, but
then what is little thing like that
to correspondent for city paper.

SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

The Sincere Democrats Are Making Them
selves Heard in Opposition to tho Chi.
cago Repudiators.
Louisville " Courier-Journal" tDem.)
The voice of the great Democratic
party is making itself heard
throughout the land. 1t is disclaim-
ing utterly the performances of the
Populist and Anarchist masquerade
at Chicago. 1t is now fully per-
ceived that the Democratic name
has been usurped by those who are
not Democrats. That the whole
thing was a " take" The voice of
the Democracy of the nation is de-
claring that neither the platform
nor the candidate is Democratic nor
anything akin to Democracy, but is
everything that the Democratic
party was organized to oppose, and
has been fighting for a hundred
years.
If the platform prevails these
great Democratic principles perish
from the earth. Many of these doc
trines are intrenched behind the
United States Constitution itself
but the anarchistic platform at Chi
cago does not hesitate to strike
through the body of the Federal
Constitution to reach and destroy
them. 1t declares for the destruc-
ton of the obligation of contracts.
1t declares for the destruction of ma.
tional credit and integrity. 1t de.
clares for the reputation of debts
public and private. It declares fol
a deprecated currency. 1t declares
for the destruction of the indepen.
dence of the judiciary. 1t declares
against the power of the law to pro
tect property and life from the de
probation of armed mob under mer
like Debs. 1t declares for unlimited
extravaganza in still more pensions
1t declares for heavier taxation tt
raise money to expend in Populis
and communist schemes at the peo
pies expense. 1t relegates to the
rear revenue reform and the reduc
ton Of taxation incident thereto.
No assemblage of excited French
revolutionists could have screamed
forth a wilder platform, nor PLACED
upon it more theatrical Boulanger
And yet a serious, earnest, responsi
BILE Anglo Saxon nation and Anglo
Saxon people are called upon to con
tenance, approve and perpetuat'
such Midsummer madness as this
Surely there can be no danger O
its success, The people already
even those subjected to the excite
ment incident to the mob at Chi
cago-are catching their sober sec
ond thought, are coming to theii
senses. They are looking to th'
consequences.

A Clipping From An Editorial In His
Paper the Easton Express.

A Clipping From An Editorial In His
Paper the Easton Express.
Ex-C Congressman Mutchler, of this
district, was one of the delegates at
Chicago. His daily paper, the Eas-
ton Express, says of Bryan:
q 1t must be remembered that elO-
quence alone doesn't fit a man for
the Presidency. Well-turned phrases
and polished periods are not nearly
so much to be desired in the White
House as sound, sane, conservative
common sense. Right thinking
must be put above eloquent words,
and how is it with Bryan? Well, he
believes in the platform, heart and
soul, and what may be said of the
platform may be said of him. He is
radical and in some ways "a revolu.
ZIONIST. His views are extreme. In
his own State he has been opposed
to the administration Democrats,
and was beaten on the issue.
4" In Congress he was a champion
of tariff reform, and of free silver
and of the income tax. He is one
of those Westerners who believes
that the East should be fought as
the natural enemy of all the West
ern and Southern States. He has
made some very incorporate re-
marks about the believers in sound
money, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that he would not be ready
and willing, to approve some very
dangerous experiments in govern
ment if he ever got in the White
House." "

Hart ON the situation,

In recent statement Mr.. Hart de-
clared that this district would give
a good majority for free silver and
the Chicago ticket. He stated that
there were many Democrats how
ever in the district who had come
out honestly and boldly and declared
they would not vote for Bryan and
free silver. He claims that these
bolters are more than off set by Re-
publicans who have announced their
intention to vote for free silver. Mr..
Hart strange to say does not pre-
dict a Democratic victory in this
State, but he claims that the free sill
yer sentiment is stronger here then
has been supposed. He will send a
large amount of campaign literature
out for the conversion of voters.
