Owing to the unw illinjrncps of FOine of the candidates to pay their bills after the election j ovir, it i. hereby Resolved hj the under-fiTi-c-d that from the date of the issue of this paper, all per.-cns advertising their Cards as candidates for any ofiice and having election tickets printed, will be required to pay for the same i:i advance. tiieo. scnocir.

An important matter fbr Republicans to hwr in mind is, that under the new StaLe Constitution, any voter whose name is not registered by the 3d of September, cannot vote at the next election. Registra tion is a duty 'which should not be delayed. TSIE TICKI2T. Tl. . Vt . .1 .10 ltL i3j)uliieaii State Convention, which asse ailled at Harrisburg on Wednesday of last week, did an excellent good thing iu nominating the ticket which we place at the h;-:id of our paper this week. We do not .say this in disparagement of the other good men whose names were La fore the Conven tion lor consideration in connection with the several offices to be filled, but because for one cause or another there were special reasous why at this time, the Hons. . M. Paxson, .. i i. Oliusteal, Harrison Allen and Robert !. Uoath should be the standard bearers of the party. Of the success of the ticket there can hardly be a doubt entertained even by the unt enthusiastic of our Democratic op !iit;( rits. The good old Keystone State i: Jar-rely Republican in politics, and as the Convention was emphatically a gathering of the prople, in which diherent views as to ri'n were earnestly and enthusiastically press e l, an i vet the unal vote ou each nomina tion cheerfully and unamiously acquiesced ic, what reason is there to expect that the same people will go back on their own action, and -olaee the destinies of the state in the hands of i.:e!i to whose principles they are stcadi ! undeniably opposed. It may not be out f p; -:ce to look at the characteristics of the lm n i i '.wd in Humiliation, for it is seldom 3n-'.co.!, that a state convention gf any party is o successful in honoring itself bv it i'li.t- fij-n :n'.v f:.v .Jr. v nf tli, Sn- p.-etne Court, the lion. Edward 31. Paxson oiTLi'adelphia. Judge P. was born iu Rucks c-'Vilify, I 'a., and is now iu the meridian of life. In early life he learned the printing business, and for several years, in the con duct of newspapers iu his native county and in Philadelphia, earned for himself the repu t.i!k u of a successful Journalist. About the v-;i:- iS47, he turueJ his attention to law, ;ui I afr. a term of study in the ofiice of the1 i it -iuige Chapman of Doylestown, was ad- i.-'Iucd t-. the bar, :rid soon after settled him .-olf iu successful practice in the city of his j.io,-..'on. His. course at the bar soon attrac in attention of his peers to the peculiar b-.-nt f his min 1 which was eminently judi cial lit its cast, and, hence, on the occurrence of tlio first vacancy ou the bench, without M'!ir!tatio:i on his part, ho was honored by overnor deary, on the advice of the Phila delphia Bar, with a seat on the bench and which he was soon after elected by the ji;-.op:e. Rut a few years of service here was iieedoJ to convince the pcQple that as a Jurist, Judge Paxson was a jewel worthy of t better setting than on the bench of a Dis trict Court, and hence on the closing of Judge Leeds term we found the Rar and people of Philadelphia working with a unanimity i;nejual!ed to secure hL nomination and elec ti.iu to 11 the vacancy. Before the Conven tion, however, the project, because the knowl edge of the man throughout the State was comparatively slight, was not successtul. Judge Gordon proving the successful man. Thi.uth defeated the friends of Judge Pax son were not disused, and now, as a result of their perseverance, though not without opposition, they have the gratification of feeing him in a position where his eminent Judical abilities will le of service to the w hole people of the State instead of a mere district as heretofore. Under the minority pr uciph ordained by the new Constitu t n, Judge Paxson's nomination is a vir tual appointment to the position. It is well, under these circumstances, that the conven tion lit upon one to eminently qualified as a lawyer and an honest man. For Lieutent Governor, we have the Hon. A. G. Olmstead of Potter county. Mr. Ohustead was born in Delaware county, New York, but at the early age of four years re moved, with his parents to the present coun ty of his residence, where lie lias since resi ded save when serving the people in .some position of trust elsewhere. He has served his constituents in the legislature for many years faithfully and with marked ability. For a year and to Gil a vacancy, under appointment from Gov. Geary, he served the people of the Rucks and Montgomery district as their President Judge, and by his Judicial skill and urbane deportment made hosts of friends in that section. Honest and faithful in all things heretofore it is not hazarding much in asserting that in the position of Lieutenaot Governor he will make a public hervaut of whom the people will have reason to feel proud. His services as a legislator give him an expreience which peculiarly fit Mm for the position. His election is a fore gone conclusion. For Auditor General the convention has f. iven ns the Hon. Harrison Allen. Who General Allen is, is a question that need not be answered by us. The people found him in 1872 the Ixist abused man, next to Gover iss Ilartri! iff, living, and the excellent, faithful performance of the duties of his ofiice has convinced them as to the depth of degra dation, and lying to which Democracy will stoop in its efforts to break down and defeat a gallant soldier, a purs legislator, and an honest man. The November election, in his triumphant re-election, will show that the con vention did a wise thing in placing Harrison Allen on the ticket, aud his thousands of majority will attest that he has not slipped out of public knowledge. The Secretary of Internal affairs we have Robert R. Rcath, the present Surveyor Gen eral of the State. The position embraces the Serveyor Generalship with added duties, and with Col. Bcath as its organizer, we have an assurance that it will from the first be started upon a firm basis. A gallant sol dier and a capable, faithful officer Colonel Death will find the whole people his friends and a tremendous majority his passport to continucdhonors for services nobly rendered both on the battle field and as a servant in civil life. Of the platform we need say nothing more than that it is. Republican throughout, un marred by a singb ambiquous if, and or but. On all questions the tariff, finance, the mad freaks of Southern rebels still unreconstruc ted, and even the third term question, it is but the echo of the sentiments of the people as held by that great party of the country which so successfully fought the battles of freedom and guided the nation into its haven of safety there forever to maintain it. Tak ing the job itll through, and viewing it in every particular, all mu.st admit that indeed and iu truth the convention did an excellent davs work. TuT'On Saturday next the Democracy hold their delegate elections and, of course, there will be the usual amount of wire pull ing. On Monday the County Convention meets when we will know who will lead the unterrified to victory. In this view the ques tion arises, are the Republicans agoing to let matters hereabouts, go by default. This has been the rule heretofore, but shall i: be so forever? The election thi.s fail is an impor taut one, involving as it does the election of the most important officer in the State; for after all it is the Auditor General that stand between the thieves and the Treasury. To make a mistake in the election of a bad man to that office would be to risk financial ruin How importaut therefore that we should act un Icrstandingly and under effective erganiza tion. And how are we to do this unless we meet our opponents boldly in the home elec tion. Demccracv will nominate a candidate for the legislature on the distinctive principles of that party. Should we do less than this? We trow not. We too should nominate a candidate fbr the legislature, and he should be a man of Republican purity of his princi ples there can be no question. It is true we mnn not or if you like it hotter cannot elect him. That, however would not prove our ruin, and it would furnish a nucleus around which the friends could rally and incitement which would give us material aid in bringing our forces to the polls. This of itself would be au improvement upon the past-'-a victory over the supineness which has heretofore hold us down while Democracy so-called Talked iuto power, nn-J increased in strength. We have yet plenty of time in which to inaugurate this new departure from idleness to profitable work. The election docs not come off until November, and we have the September Court, which intervenes between now and then, as the time in which to fettle on our man an 1 J resent liim for the suffrages of the people. 3Ien and brethren shall we do this? That this course runs ah mi the line of our duty is beyoud a perad venture. Shall we follow it ? Let us think seriously over it. JIIss Gallagher's Headings. A large, Felcet and intelligent audience as sembled in the Middle Smithfield Presbvte- rian church lant Tuefday night to listen to this talented and accomplished reader. Miss Gal lagher possesses extraordinary elocutionary powers and richly merits the high reputa tion she has earned as a first cla?s reader. Her selections were well chosen, and although an amateur, rendered in a style that would do honor to those who have made readings and recitations their profession for year.?. Beethoven Cornet Band, from this place contributed their services and furnished the music for the occasion. The Beethoven Quar tette also furnished some excellent vocal mu sic, selected to harmonize with her readings. Jiarry Wolfe sang "The Patriot Mother's Prayer," in a manner that moved many of the audience to tears. At the close of the entertain ment Rev Chas. E. VanAl'en, in behalf of the audience, tendered a vote of thanks to Miss Gallagher, for the rare treat they had in listen ing to her readings and to the Beethoven band and (Quartette, for their excellent music. The Band was then escorted to the residence of Rev. Mr. Van A Hen, where a bounteous repast was awaiting them. It was a "feast fit for the Gods," and the boys did their duty noblv. Mr. Geo. W. Peters, and Mr. Geo. Bloof, came to town with wagons in the earley part of the evening and took the band up and at a late hour Mr. Harry Labar and Mr. Charles Townsend brought them back, all well pleased with the manner in which they were entertain ed and loud iu their praises of Miss Gallagher. To-night Miss Gallagher will give select readings and recitations in the Presbvterian church in this place and all of our citizens should go and hear her. It is an opportunity seldom offered us and all should embrace it. Beell loven Band and Quartette will enliven the entertainment with vocal and instrumental music. Harvest Missionary Festival. A Harvest Mission Festival will be held in the church at Effort, on Sunday, September Gth. The services will begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and be conducted partly in the German and partly in the English language. Rev. J. C. Julis Kurtz, of Tamaqua, will preach.

See advertisement in to day's issue. . l There is to be a National Sportsman's Convention, at Niagara, on the 9th of Sep tember. One of the objects is, to provide for the protection of game a very worthy object. . The Phcemx Fire Company contemplates getting up an excursion to New York about the 10th of September. Should they do so, every body interested in the welfare of our fire department, should join them. Simon Fried, our enterprising clothier will go to New York on Monday next, for the purpose of purchasing the largest and best selected fctock of clothing ever brought to this county. Alas ! Tom Collins ! The Modocs of Washington, N. J., visited our town on Saturday last and treated our Tom Collins nine to a hoister which they will long remetn- bcr. The score stood Modocs 40. Tom Collins 12. Mr. Geo. T. IIammanx, an Easton book binder, will be in Stroudsburg, on 3Ionday next, August 31st, when persons having any work in his line to be done, would do well to call or leave their orders at the Stroudsburg House.

A collection for missions, wii be taken up. D. E. Sr- IICEDLEIt. The Emery Grinder is before us, filled with valuable information for the manufac turer and mechanic. It announces that in the absence of T. Dunkin Parett, the editor, who is now doing Europe, the tlDeviV, will assume editorial chanre. We have no doubt the next number will be red-hot. The Stroudsburg Cornet Band will furnish the music for the U. A. 31. pic-nic at the Water Gap, on Saturday September 5th. 3Iaj. Herrick of Washington, N. J., and Rev. Isett and Knipe will be the orators. A cordial invitation is extended to the public. Wn were favored with a serenade by the Stroudsburg Cornet Band last Tuesday nitrht. Thev discoursed some excellent music aud showed a rapid advancement in the management of their instruments. In this band, Frof. Moran has the material for a first class band and under his leadership it will no doubt make oie. The 3Iethodist Camp meeting at Durfee's Woods near this borough closes to day. Some forty tents were pitched on the grounds, and from the commeneement the attendance has been I;nre. It is to be hped that much good will result from the meetings. Last Sunday the people ia attendance was estima ted at 5,00. . -o. Accident. Last Sunday, about noon, while 3Ir.

Scikedler, Chairman Committee 3IiRACULOus Escape. Last Monday night, about half past 0 o'clock, a beggar came to the house of 3Irs.. W. N. Peters and wanted something to cat. 3Irs. P. took a lighted lamp in one hand and a carving knife in the other and started for the cellar to get him some bread. When she got to the top of the steps her foot slipped and she fell head long down to the bottom of the steps. All the injuries she received was a slight bruise on the head and arm. The special Term of Court held by Judge Longacre, to dispose of causes in which Judge Dreher had been Attorney, occupied the whole of last week. But one case, that of Jacob Price vs. N orthrup & Palen, brought to abate a nuisance in throwing bark and re fuse of a tannery into the creek, and to re cover damages for the stoppage of Plaintiff" s saw mill by the accummulation of tan bark in his dam, was tired. Verdict of the jury was in favor of plaintiff for $750 00. Bur nett and Davis for plaintiff and Holmes and Fox for defendants. Fire. About five o'clock yesterday morning smoke was seen issuing from the upper story of Wallace & Gardner's flour mill, by Peter II . Robeson, who was just crossing the brid ge for a load of lime and the alarm olTfire was given. A large crowd soon collected ami with the aid of a few pails of water the fire was extinguished before it could gain any head way. Phoenix. Fire company was promptly on hand. Inside of ten minutes from the time the alain was given they were on the ground with their Steamer, with twenty pounds of steam on and ready for action, but fortunately their services were not needed. The fire originated in the top of the elevator from an overheated gud;ron. Base Ball. The TvpoYof Scranton, will visit our town next Saturday. They will play a match game with the Tom Col lins club, on the Fair Ground in the after noon. Game will bo called at 2 o'clock. A livelv time is anticipated and we hope our "crack" club will not experience another 3Iodoc defeat. Let everybody turn out and give the Typo's a bumper. Shooting Match. A pigeon shooting match was. held at the public house of Geo. Howard in Bangor, Pa., on last Saturday 15th, inst., between the following named gen tlemen on each side : L. B. Camden and L. G. Eilenberger of Williamsburg, Wm. Koch of Johnsonville, Cooper Robison of Relvidere, N. J., and Wm. Holland of Bangor ou the one side and A. N. Post, R. Shefier, Abram. Dcatz and Jeff. Dcatz of Baugor and 3Ir. Vauatta on the other. Each party had sixty birds to shoot at. After some very close shooting, the first named gentlemen won by a score of 43 to 41. There was some very good shooting done on both sides. We are pleased to notice that Williamsburg has so far furnished the best marksmen, Camden and Eilenberger having killed eleven birds out of twelve. Bangor has often boasted of her good shots, yet we think she has a, good rival iu Williamsburg. Resolutions of Respect. Delaware Council No. GS iL No. GS. ) . M. st 17, 1S74. J Jit. () U.

Since the Beethoven concert, a very pretty little bruuette can be frequently heard sing ing that beautiful and pathetic ballad, " I feci just as happy as a big Jim floit cr. That nod and Ix-ud in the breezes." Friend 3Iorris was ia town last week. He related to the guests of the Washington House, the story of "the little ones at home," in a low sweet tone. They wept. 1 'G reely' ' is sweet on 170 pounds. Keno. "Chick'' is "too sweet to live." So says the cook. Some of our young ladies are very found of indulging in piscatorial sports. Singular that they always catch sou-fish. One of the most attractive features at our fair this fall, will be a double clog dance by friend John's two buff cochins. The appearance in town of friend 3Iorris soon relieved a sprained ankle. Soda water bottles, corks and tobacco were served up as an extra dih to some pic-nickers a few days ago, but they would'nt stay down worth a cent. Good natured "Swarty" is again on deck boiling over with the latest joks. To those inter ested in pic-nics, our "Devil"' suggests the following advice: When the clouds are Loivcry-inz ia the morning there is no dan ger of rain during th? day. Should you have to cross a steam, never av'J a Sand ford ; you can cross in safety. If you Tvant to have a large turn out let the people for Milts around Tuvcn know when and where you are a going. Should there be any wild aniina'j in the vicinity of your camp ground, you need have no fears for personal safety. A Wolfe is no more dangerous than a 7e.ss-ian. To those in search of flowers we would suggest sweet Williams as the most fragrant Sould you be detained after dark see that your lamps are all right. The Wych of the lamp being too short, often times result in some inconvenience to tne unvcr. . ucic hoitse is very attractive and should there be any "angels" in your party j'ou will invari ably find them clustered round it. If you wish to experience pleasant dreams, after you return home, take a moderate diink of Kn-n wine and retire to your little lava bed in the Garrdt-son as j'ou can. In the absence of other amusement a plank balanced across the Butts of fallen trees will make an excellent see-saw. In case any of the party should get theick-upsand their eyes should grow Dimm-ict--uping, a shower of cold water suddenly dashed in the face will bring relief. For further instructions, apply to Gus. Two sewing machine agents are serving a terra in the Lastou jail. Two fair damsels walked from the camp ground to town, last Tuesday night and sat ou Huston's corner until 11 o'clock, resting their weary limbs. The Altoona Tribune says : "One of the biggest pike that we have ever known to be caught with a rod and line, was yes terday morning hooked in the Conemaugh river at a point near Nineveh, by a well known railway engineer employed on the Pittsburgh Division. The pike weighed seventeen and one-half pounds, and was four and one-half feet long by actual mea surement. The monster of the deep had teeth fully three quarters of an inch in length and which are as sharp as a needle. The head of the fish was brought to this city by an engineer last evening, and is now on exhibition at the Tribune office. The foregoing many sound like exaggera tion, yet a sight at the head will convince any one of the truth of what Ijas been written. The mouth of the pike is so large that it will readily admit of mail's arm in it. Base Ball. MODOC VS. TOM COLLINS. A match game of base ball was played at the Fair Ground on Thursday last, the contestants being the Tom Collins club of this place and the 3Iadocs of Washington. A large crowd of our citizens and sojourners in this vicinity were out to see the game. The Collins boys for the first time, met underhand throwing, and the swift difficult balls seemed to frighten them somewhat, while in the field they also played a very loose game, the result being their first, and a very bad defeat. The Modocs played a masrnificent jrame both at bat and field. Our boys were a little blue at the easy victory of their oppocnts, but have gone into practice harder than ever, hoping in the return game to retrieve their previou defeat The following is the score Moroc.

Such was the ease a few years ago, and it is probable that the law is yet in force. Yet we find in nearly all our Pennsylvania papers, far and near, the blatant announcement of a lottery in Kentucky, professedly for the benefit of a "State library," as well as another scheme which has its headquarters somewhere in the West. The manifest working of all these lotteries h to take from the people at least two dollars fTr every one tliey pay out ; and their direct effect, by offering tempting prizes to be distributed by lot, i.s to encourage the spirit of gambling in tlie community. It was? to defeat awl protect the people against snch injury that the law against lotteries was enacted.
