MEETING AT THE COURT HOUSE.
A meeting convened at the Court House,
in this place, on Wednesday evening last,
to take into consideration the propriety
of repudiating the Spanish Coin. Mr.
Samuel Meliok was Appointed President,
and Charles M. Trice, Secretary. The
attendance was quito respectable, though
opinions were divided. The first motion
'in relntion to business, was an adjourn
ment "sine dine" though some had come
there, evidently stuffed to the neck with
speeches and bile, which were intended
to accelerate the passage of the dilapida
ted-coin to the shades of some other pla
ce8 than those of our store keepers pock
ets and tills. We should say, judging
from the voice of the meeting, that the
vlovc for tho "stfer"' had not yet died out
in our midst. After some remarks upon
the subject, the meeting finally adjourned
to meet again on Friday evening next,
the 23d inst.
All interested are respectfully invited
to attend.
Fatal Accident
Alexander Summer, an Irishman, em
ployed at White's Tannery, was killed
on the railroad, about two miles above
this place, on Tuesday last. We were
informed that the unfortuate man was on
his W3j home, and being intoxicated he
laid down upon the track, when a coal
train came along and the engine and sev
eral cars passed over his bod, literally
cutting it in two.

Tho average attendance has been for
the last few days very materially reduced.
The causo of this wo presume is indica
ted partly by the hight at which tho mer
cury has stood of late, and partly by the
near approach of that annual jubileo of
American boys, the Fourth of July.
Those who attend regularly are making
laudable progress in their studies, and
notwithstanding the very commendable and
8
higldy appreciated offorts which have been
made in a certain intelligent (?) quarter,
to the contrary, we are happy to state
that the school is in a good state of disci
pline. This degree of dicipline, it is the
intention of ,tho Principal, so long as he
is connected with the institution, to main
tain; and he is confident, that ail citizens
whose opiuions or whoso respect are of
any account, will countenance and sustain
him in the course he has taken. lie nev
er has, and never intends to punish ;
child in a manner disproportionate to the
offenoe, but when he is certain that
child needs correction, he will not hc&itat
to bestow it, even though exasperated
papas seek redress at the hands of the
Constable. To those tender hearted pa
rents who consider their children too
good to be whipped, he would respccfully scapes, trees, horses, cattle, ebips, steam
recommend that they administer a dose boats and the various emblems of the al-
1 r .
of chloroform beforo chastisement, as
may render them oblivious to the paiu.
We regret that so few parents and
others, can find time to visit us occasion
ally, and see what proficienoy the school
is making. We are aware that to most
of our patrons this is perhaps an unusu
ally busy season of the year, but, it af-
fords great encouragement to the children
to have their parents manifest interest in
their studies, and to receive occasional
r r, ,. , , , .
visits from them. Call frequeut v and in-

How to Detect Counterfeit Notes.
Peterson's Counterfeit Detector for Ju
ly, gives the following rules, a careful ob
servation of which, will prevent person?
from being imposed upon by counterfeit
notes, in nearly all cases.
1. If you havo a suspicious looking uote
exatniue it well.
2. All genuine bank notes, excepting of
a few old fogy institutions, aro ougraved
by tho bott artists in the country, and
have a bold and neat appearance, and,
excepting in a few cases, are printed upon
good paper.
3. The faces, if any, have a lifelike ex
pression; and the eyes and small object
of the picture arc perfect.
4. Tho draoerv of tho figures, the land-
it legorcaJ nSurcs aro awaJs correct.
o. iuc uicuaiuon ruung on tue scrolls.
ovals, figures and ornaments, are regular,
smooth and of a uniform appearance 011
every part of the note where used.
6. The priucipal lines of the largo let
ters in the name of the Lank, are gener
ally upright, and perfectly true and even
in every part.
The round hand
writing
ensraved
on thebody of the bill, should bo equal
in fcize and distance, and of a uniform
character all over the uote.
. A counterfeit note has invariably a
1 r -i 1 '. J
-rough uufinu-hed appearance, the paper
j3 generally of an inferior quality, the
1-
sky, landscape, and general perspective
of the pictures have an incorrect aud mis
erable appearance, the lettering has an
uneven aud careless finish, aud the round
I J A I i .1
Dauu engraving lurouguouc mo note is
rarely, if ever uniform.
9. Oue of the surest tests of a counter
feit note is the signature of the president
and cashier, which it even of a bold char
acter, still have a tremulous appearance
Counterfeiters seldom copy a siuature
detected by careful examination,

A more delightful retreat for warm
weather can hardly bo selected tk.an this
place surrounded by peaks of the Moosac
range, and visited by cooling breezes that
inako the evenings delieiously refreshing
after the heat of the day. , The railway
trip from Stroudsburg hither, presents
some ucw features of scenery. Four or
five miles northwest of Stroudsburg, the
asceut of the Pooono llidge as you go
west is commenced. White's Bridge aud
Paradise Bridge, are structures worth the
traveler's attention; and the railroad pass
es through a succession of -cuts and cm
baukmeuts, which must have cost an im
mense sum. On the left extend beautiful
views, embracing a sweep of. mountains
with valley and cultivated fields at their
base; while ou the other side, tho primi
tive forest covers tho hillside. On the
summit of Pocono Mountain you enter
the Tunnel, on emerging from which a
picture is presented unrivalled in the
whole country, and hardly surpassed in
the world. Tho eye takes in an. arena
hundreds of miles iu extent to the uorth
eart and south. Tho Blue Ridge, seen in
rrlief against the hky, forms a misty
frame work for a vast lan-lscape, embrac
ing hill and vale, woods aud field, rivers
aud villages. That deep cleft in the blue
rampart is the Delaware Wat;r Gap
eighteen miles distant by an air lino.
You stand on an elevation twelve hun
dred feet higher than the sublime locali
ty, on which the eye rests as the mott
prominent object in tho superb picture.
One might t-pend hours with delight in
gazing on this view which is fiuer aud
ttjore extenMve than that from the Catts
lfil! Mouutain hou-e, and wo.uld well re
ward the enterprise of building an hotel.
The height, the pure air, the splendid

summer living about two miles from th

A Human Batter.
In Cincinnati, last week, a wager wa
made by a Scotchman that he could kill
twelve rats, in regular dog fashion, in less
time than a Scotch terrier, famous for tho
dei-truction of the noxious vermin. The
man and the dog were placed in the ringt
aud both went to work energetically and"
bravely. The human creature would
suatch up the rats in his hands, and bit
ing them across the ueck and spine, pre
cisely as the terrier, kill them at once.
Both did well, but tho man killed hit
twctlh rat just as the dog had finished his
tenth. When the Scotchman came out
of the ring be was covered with blood,
and his hands were bitten in various pla
ces, but beseemed to care nothing forh?
wounds, after obtaiuing a triumph over a.
dog.

Tlolloway's Fills. -When the complex
on assumes a sallow appearance, and the'
whites of the eyes arc tinged with yellow,
thero is mischief at work iu tho liver. A
dose or two jf the Pills will thcu arrest
the progress of the disease, and Bave much
pain and trouble; but should the malady
bave reached a more dangerous stage, and
taken the shape of billious fever or jaun
dice, and the functions of tho stomach
lave becomo disored, a course of tho rem
edy may be necessary. The cure is. mere-
y a question of time, for however violent
tho symptoms may bo, however long tho
patient may have suffered, this potest
remedy will inevitably produce the desir
ed effect if administered in accordance
with tho direction.
