O? CUMBERLAND" COUNTY.
There were 239 deaths from cholc
ra, for the week ending on Saturday last,
in New-York city.
rca, The weather for several days past
has been remarkably cool and fall like.
During portions of Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday fires proved very comfortable to
tpose who had them in their houses.
E. The Presbyterian Church of this
borough, have just purchased a Targe and
splendid new Organ, which was perform
ed on for the first time last Sunday, to
the delight of the large congregation pres
ent. Kelo&ooi and Organs.
Wro. IIolliDshead has now for sale at
his Drug store some very fine Melodeons
and Tarlor Organs, at greatly reduced pri
ces. Every one who has heard them
speaks very highly of them. Wc have no
doubt that Mr. Ilollinshead will soon be
as popular in the Music line as he is in
the Drug business. Call and hear the Me
lodeons. Sgi, At a conference held at Easton,
Pa., .on the 3rd inst., John J. Carey, of
Northampton ; and Edward L. Wolf, of
Monroe; were appointed delegates, to rep
resent the 12th Congressional District,
composed of the counties of Northamp
ton, Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne,
in the National Union Convention to bo
held in Philadelphia, on the 14th inst.
Grand Fair and Rural Festival.
The ladies attached to the Shawuee
; Sewing Society," design holding a
Grand Fair and Festival, in a Grove on
the Banks of the Delaware, at Shawnee,
on Wednesday, the 22od inst., the pro
ceeds to be applied for the benefit of the
Church at that place. Having an object
so truly meretorious, the Fair should be
most ljberally patronized.
Levantray has added a new arti
cle to his already extensive catalogue of
good and necessary articles in his line of
business. We allude to a superior arti
cle of Porter, which he has just received
from Lauer's celebrated Brewery, at
Heading. For the convalcsent, or for the
person who has never had any other ail
ment but thirst, we know of nothing su
perior to it.
Persons desirous of procuring Pi
anoes, Organs, or articles in the Musical
line generally, cannot have a better op
portunity of doing so than is nowofTered
them. Mr. J. Allen Clemens who has al
ready famished a number of oar citizens
with excellent instruments, is preparo.1 to
furnish the instument3 of any maker
of established repute at the lowest possi
ble prices, and" to warrant every thing he
furnishes to be just as he represents it
to be. Mr. C. is perfectly reliable and
trustworthy, and any of our citizens de
siring to secure really good instrument
should examine his prices and catalogue
before purchasing elsewhere.
l& The Stroudsburg 13asc-13all Club
have accepted a challenge from the Saw
kill Club of Milford, to play a match
game. The game will come off on Satur
day next, at Bnshkill. Who. among the
Stroudsburgers will furnish us with the
ecore of the game?
We also learn that the Scran ton Club
has challenged the Ncptunes of Easton.-
If the -game comes off could not these
champion clubs occupy the grounds of
the Stroudsburg Club for the contest?
Stroudsburg i3 nearly equi-distant be
tween the two points, and the ground, not
being familiar to either club, would bet
ter test the playing qualities of both.

The statement of the public debt, dated
the 1st of August, show that the total
debt is S2,770,41G,G08, while the amount
in the Treasury is $137,317,332 ; the a
mount of the debt over and above the
cash in the Treasury being 2,033,090,
27G. A decrease of 829,502,844 in the
total debt is shown by the statement since
the last statement made on the 1st oi
June.
In Egypt, says a gentleman who has
travelled in that direction, where sun
strokes are of frequent occurrence, the
Arabs dissolve some salt in water and
pour it into the patient's ear, which ren
ders speedy relief to the sufferer.
Since the 1st instant, there have been
eleven deaths by cholera in the Charity
Hospital at New-Orleans. Eminent phy
sicians pronounce the disease of a malig
nant type. There are five cases now in
the Charity Hospital, but they are ex
pected to recover.
There were 330 deaths in Cincinnati
during the month of July, 12 of which
were from Asiatic cholera. ()a August
1st there were 4 deaths from that disease;
on the 2d, 3; on the 3d, 2; on the 4tb'

Our table was enriched last vfeeV
with tho July and August uumbers of
"Dcmorcst'e illustrated Monthly Magazine
and Madame Demorest's Mirror of Fash-
ion.
We can conceive of nothing more
beatilul or useful, than this publication
whether as a centre table ornament or as
a present to a female friend. Each num
ber contains the latest fashions, a splendid
piece of music, numberless" truly artistic
engravings, and the best stories we have
read in many a day. Each number too
contains full sized diagrams of one more
of the latest novelties in dress, printed on
tinted paper. Although the Mirror of
Fashion is devoted, as its name indicates,
to fashions, it is by no means a blind devo
tee of the fickle God. "While famishing
the reader with a complete record of
changes occurring, its editress is careful
to throw out such hints as cannot fail to
exercise a wide influence in preventing
the unwary from running to pecuniary
and fashionable extremes. The work is
furnished to subscribers at 83 per annum,
and a splendid premium to each subscrib-
er. Aaurcss n. Jcnnmgs Demorest, 4d

5? We were shown yesterday, a brass
cap,' belonging to the muzzle stopple of
nn EnGeld rifle, which was extracted from
the thigh of Mr. Steward Shupp, residing
in Chcstnuthill township, in this county,
where it had lain for some three years.
The cap had become so completely iru
bedded in the large bone, called, we be
lieve, the " pelvis' that it had to be chiz
z'ed out. Mr. Shupp has suffered great
ly ever since he received the wound, and
several attempts have been made to re
move what was supposed to be the ball,
but were unsuccessful. The operation
which proved so successful was performed
by Dr. A. llceves Jackson, assisted by
Drs. Abraham and Steward Levering.
The severity of the wound and of Mr.
Shupp's suffering from it may readily be
inferred when wc state, that a bullet for
ceps, some eleven inchs long, was pushed
into the wound, after the cap was reraov
ed, without inccjnvcnience to the patient.
An cye-withess to the operation, says, It
looked like literally flaying a man alive.
The patient, we are pleased to learn, is
getting along remarkably well. Mr
Shupp received the wound while on pick
et duty, and was shot by a comrade, in
mistake for a rebel, who, in his hurry and
scare, forgot to take the stopple out of
his gun.
..
End cf tho European War.
One of the first messages over the At
lantic cable was tho announcement of the
treaty of peace by which the German and
Italian war has been terminated. The
treaty embraces the whole continent, and
is signed by all the great European pow
ers Dy it the Austrian Emperor has
surrendered all his pretensions to inter
fere in the affairs of Germany, and Prus
sia obtains all she desired or contended
for. Dy this treaty it appears that Prus
sia has absorbed in the new empire all
the Federal States except those of Aus
tria and Davaria, and the multitude of
little principalities which have so long
confused geographers will disappear from
the map of Europe. Prussia has become
ne of the leading powers of Europe.
Her success in this struggle is not alone
to be attributed to the "needle gun," of
which so much has been said. Her sys
tem of popular instruction is one of the
best in the world, and her public schools
have long been a model for other coun
tries. II er religion is also much more
liberal than that of Austria, which is eve
ry' way a far less enlightened country.
Prussia ha3 within her the elements of
progress. She ought to be a Jlepublic.
For this reason we had hoped that her
success would tend to the spread of libe
ral opinions, and the enlargement of civil
liberty throughout Europe. It is a source
of gratification that such has to some ex
tent been the case. One of the leading
features of the treaty is a provision for
the election, in the new empire, of a re
presentative Diet, by universal sufferage
which is an important step towards a genu
ine Republican system.
'
Labor.
Did it ever occur to you, reader, what
is accomplished by labor, and what is the
world without it? Why, man of idle
ness, labor has rocked, you in the cradle,
and. nourished your pampered life; with
out it the woven wool upon your back
would be upon the shepherd's flock. For
the m-cancst thing that ministers to hu
man want, save the air of heaven, man is
indebted to toil; and even the air, in
God's wise ordination, is breathed with
some degree of labor. It is only drones
who toil not who infet the hive of the
active like masses of corruption The
lord of the earth then, arc working-men
who build or cast down at their will and
who can retort at the sneer of the bogus
aristocracy by pointing to their trophies
wheresoever art, science, civilization and
humanity are known. Vork on, man of
toil! Be true to thyself, and to thy cause
and thy loyalty will yet be acknowledged.
School Directors take Notice.
Dy the common school law of Pennsyl
vania, it is the duty of Directors to pub
lish an annual statement of the amount of
money received and expended, and the
amount due from collectors, and eettin"
forth -all the financial operations of the
district, in not less than ten handbills, to
be put up iu the most public places in the
district. Iu districts containing a news
paper, one or more publications therein
of tho Annual Statement will be a suffi
cient compliance with the law, and will
render written or printed Handbills un
necessary but they are indispensable in
all other cases.
The Assassination of Lincoln.
On Fridav last Mr. Boutwcll. from the
Committee on the Judiciary, made a re-
nort on the evidence tending to lranhcate
Jeff. Davis in the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln, the St. Albans' murders,
the hotel burnings and the starvation oK
our prisoners in Southern stockades. It
is unnessary to review the evidence in
these latter particulars. Much of it has
seen the light before. The Committee
say:
The evidence examined is thus reviewed
and presented by the Committee, anJ upon
the preliminary branches of the case estab
lishes, or tends strongly to establish, the fol
lowing propositions:
First 1 he rebel authorities at Richmond
proceeded systemitically and criminally, and
in violation of the dictates of our common
humanity as well as the usages of civilized
war. to imprison enslave and destroy ne
groes employed as soldiers in the United
States.
Second They treated.with gross injustce
and brutal inhumanity those ofheers who
were takeu prisoners of war while in com
mand of nejro troops who were in the scr
vice of the United States.
Third They systematically, knowingly
and maliciously subjected soldiers of the
United States Jakcn prisoners in war to tho
horrors of disease, to brutal exposure to the
elements, and to wasting, fatal starvation
and all combined, making a chapter of hor
rors, sufferings and wops which had no par
nllel in the annals of any other people, civi
lized or barbarous.
Fourth Tint Davis, Benjamin, Clay and
Thompson planned, organized, and incited
the various schemes, expeditions and conspi
racies, referred to in the testimony submit
ted, lor the introduction of contagious and
infectious diseases in the United States, for
the destruction of our commerce upon, the
rivers, lakes and oceans, for the release of
prisoners at Johnson's Island and Camp
. gm .1 f , ' ? . 1 . .
Uouglas, lor me inuiscnminaie uesirucuon
of private properly upon the border and the
murder of inhabiiantf, and finally for the
overthrow of the Government itself by the
agency of secret and treasonable organiza
tions in Canada and the States of the north
west.
These criminal acts are a bar to the plea
which otherwise might, with force and rea
eon, be tendered, that Davis and his associ
ates named were incapable ot the great crime
of assassination. Men who could remain
ouiet in the presence and with a full knowl
edge of the barbarities that were practiced by
officers under their authority in the prisons and
pens of Richmond, Andersonvilleand balisbu
ry. and who justified themselves tothemselves
by the consideration that it was necessary
to accomplish what they had undertaken
cannot plead that it is improbable that they
should have procured the assassination o
those who stood in the way of the accom
plishment of their designs.
It now remains for the Committee to pre
sent ihe evidence tending immediately to
implicate Davis, Benjamin, Clay and 1 homp
s hi in the assassination of President Lincoln
The evidence reviewed by the Commit
tec is mostly documentary and derived
from the rebel archieves captured at the
fall of Richmond. From these it is per
fectly plain that Davis repeatedly received
and gave considerations to propositions to
assassinate the leaders of our Government.
His endorsement in his own hand-writing
are found upon the back of written oilers
to murder Mr. Lincoln, not with expres
sions cf horror at the fearful crime pro
prosed, but mere business endorsements
instructing some subordinate to inquire
into the feasibility of the plan proposed.
As to the complicity of Davis with the
actual asjassination of Mr. Lincoln, there
seems to be no direct proof. Wc can on
ly reason from the fact that Davis was
well informed of previous schemes of the
kind. He may or he may not have been
an accomplice of Booth. Tt is in cvi
dence that when Davis heard of the
death of 3Ir. Lincoln he manifested no
sympathy. Lewis F. Bates tcsifiel that
Davis remarked, " Well, General. I don't
know if it were to be done at all it were
better that it were well done, and if the
same had been done to Andy Johnson, the
beast, and Secretary Stanton, the job
would then be complete." These are not
the words of a man who was cither griev
ed or surprised, but rather the unprcmcdi
ted declaration of one who realizes that a
crime which he anticipated had been com
mitted, but in part only, and at a moment
too late to save a cause already rendered
desperate by the conflict- and disasters
of war.
Is it not probable that the specific
crime of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln
can be legally fastened upon him. That
it met his disapproval cannot be supposed
for a moment by any one who reads the
evidence of the Committee. But he can
be convicted of treason, and as a traitor
he should suffer.
The Bounty Act.
The Secretary of War is to appoint a
board of officers to compilo instructions
by which the extra bounty provided for
by the 15th section of the new law will
be paid to soldiers. The Treasury De
partment will be prepared, after the 1st
of September, to commence meeting this
new demand.
Letters arc pouring in daily asking for
instructions and forms in relation to ap
plications for the additional bounty under
the repent act. None can be furnished
until the Secretary ot War aud the Sec
retary of the Treasury have prescribed
the rules and regulations as the act di
rects. It will probably require several
weeks, on account of the pressure of oth
er business, before a system can be adop
ted, and regulations prepared and printed
for distribution. Letters of inquiry
must remain unanswered, and had better
not be written until notice has been giv
en through the public press that rules
have been prepared. The Second Audi
tor's office will settle only the claims of
the heirs of deceased soldiers. But as
there will be at least 200,000 of such
claims, they must be required to prepare
a proper register and make other neces
sary arrangements to receive them. No
advantage can possibly bo gained by hur
ryiog claims either into that office or the
Paymaster General's office.
An officer of the Freedman's Bureau,
in Jackson parish, La., was murdered re

There were 8 cases of cholera in Phil

German Settlement in Texas.
Soon alter the close of the war between
the United States and Mexico, a colony
of German immigrants settled in Middle
Texas. The originators of the enterprise
believed that white labor was both possi
ble and practicable in the latitude of the
Gulf States, and upon the theory conduc
ted the experiment. Lach settler owned
and worked the soil, in small lots, as is done
in Kuropc and the Northern States. The
pioneers succeeded so well that other colo
nics were induced to follow and settle in
the same neighborhood. The experiment
established, that " cotton could be success
fully cultivated on small farms, owned and
worked by white men, and that tho cli
mate is uot inimical to the growth and
development of an industrious, hardy la
boring population. In the midst of this
settlement, there has been built, on Gau
daloupc lliver, a thriving, wealthy inland
city of over 2,000 inhabitants. The Ken-Jh-intnfd
Zvitung reports the industry of
the city as follows:
"In trade, occupations and professions
New-Braunfel3 has eight carpenters, nine
wheelwrights, eight joiners, two coopers,
five saddle-tree and stiirtip-makers, two tur
ners, one woo.Ien bowl maker, eight black
smiths, two gunsmiths, one tinner, one foun
der, seven masons, eight tanners, seven shoe
makers, six saddlers, one collar-maker, four
tailors, seven butchers, eleven grocers, one
barber, one coachman, 132 retail and whole
sale merchants, and one flour dealer.
"There are hlso three cotton-gins, one
cotton factory with 2i looms, one gristmill,
two flour mill?, ono window-maker, one
wool-carding machine, one brewery, one dis
tillery, two brick nnd lime-klins, one print
ing oilice, two apothecary stores, one coach-,
maker, one house-pa inter and varnisher, one
peddler, three physicians, three music teach
ers, two lawyers, three preachers, four
churches, one public school with five teach
ers, three private schools taught by ladies,
one post-ollice, one telegraph office, three
dancing halls, one thea:re, three billiard sa
loons, and ono ton-pin alley.
"The population ia ab'ut 2,000 souls.
This is doing pretty well for an iuland city

Would Tangle it a Little.
The Boston Post is responsible for the
following: In Artcmus arcl s inimi
table leturc on ghosts, which, by the way,
is a trhost of a lecture, so far as "hosts
were concerned, he tells of an absured
man who wouldu't have any glass in the
window he thought the sash would be
enough to keep out the coarsest of the
cold. This reminds a correspondent of a
story that old Parson II., of P., used to
tell of his experience of the cold on the
night of his marriage. They went on a
"bfidal tour" to his cousin's, down on the
shore of Connecticut, and spent the night,
and being put into a cold spare room they
suffered severely. Alter a while his wife
asked him to get up and see if he couldn't
find something to put upon the bed. Af
ter a diligent search he could find noth
ing but his and his wife's clothiug, which
he gathered up and packed upon the bed,
and got in an tried again, but still they
"grew no irarm-cr very fast," and his. wile
begged of him to get up and search about
aud see if anything else could be found,
and suggested that there might possibly
be something in a closet in one corner of
the room, so he went and examined the
closet and reported to his wife that an old
fish -net was the only thing that he could
find. "Well, my dear," she said, "put
it on, put it on, for that will tangle the
cold a little !"
A Suggestion for the Haying Season.
We have received from a practical far
mer the following suggestions for stack
ing hay, which may be found of great
benefit to many, if not all farmers. The
plan is this :
- Lay four rails on the ground as if for
building a pen ; within the space thus
inclosed set upright three other rails, the
upper ends tied together and the lower
spread like a tridod, so as to stand firmly.
Build the stack around the upper rails,
and the result is you have a chimney or
veutilator in the centre which will secure
a free circulation of air through the stack.
Following this method hay may be safely
stacked when only wilted a little after
cutting, and valuable time may be saved
in the season when farmers are most driv
er!, by thus expediting the haying,
Pigeons in immense numbers have con
gregated in Stephen township, Canada
West, and are rearing their young. They
selected a piece of woods about two miles
square, and every tree seems to be filled
with their nests. Sportsmen have made
unrelenting war upon them without ap
pearing to diminish their numbers.
The Ilarrisburg Tcbgraph says : Will
liam Shulty, a boy about fiftceu years of
ago, had a most remarkable escape from
instant death on Saturday last, at Millers
villc. While in the fourth story of the
Normal-school building, he got upon a ta
ble directly in front of a window, the en
tire sash of which had been removed dur
ing the hot weather, and, whilst attempt
ing to reach some shelves over the win
dow, lost his balance and plunged out
headlong. He struck tho ground with
fearful violence, fortunately falling on his
hands and knees. The right arm was
broken at the wirst. Both bones of the
left were broken midway between the
wrist and elbow, the fractured bones pro
truding through the flesh and penetrat
ing the ground. The left thigh was brok
en midway between the knee and body, the
bono also being driven directly through
the flesh and into the ground, so violent
was the concussion. The height of the
window is some forty feet.

A fortnight ago there was a freshel in
the Cuyahoga Itiver, Ohio, which flows
into Lake Erie at Cleveland. A great
crowd of people stood on the wharves of
the town, watching the masses of debris
swept down by the turbulent waters, and
the Cleveland Plaindealej says a floating
cradle was soon discovered. After some
exertions it was drawn to the shore, and
found to contain an infant, fast asleep,
and happily unconscious of the perils that
surrounded it. Where the child came
from or whom its parents may be, are un
known.
How to Freshen fait Fith.
Many persons'who are in the habit of
freshening mackerel or otner sail nsn
never dream that there is a right and a
wrong way to do it. Any person who
has seen the procees of evaporation going
on at the salt works knows that the salt
falls to the bottom. Just so it is in the
pan where your mackerel or white fish
lies soaking; and as it lies with the skin
side down, the salt will fall to the skin
and remain there, when, if placed with
the flesh sile down, the salt falls to the
bottom of the pan, and the fish comes out
freshened as it should j in the other case
it is nearly as when put in.

REDUCTION li PSICE
or THE
AMERICAN WATCHES,
.Tlaslc at VALTKAH, JIaw.
In consequent of the recent great decline
in gold and silver and nil the materials used
in the manufacture of our go nls, and in an
ticipation of a still further decline, we have
reduced our prices to as low a point as they
can be placed
Willi Gold at Par,
so that r.o one need hesitate to buy a watch
now from t lies expectation that it will be
cheaper at snme future time. Thft test of
ten years and the manufacture and sale of
Here than 200,000 Watches,
have given cur productions the very highest
rank anion-; timekeepers. Commencing with
the detoi ruination to make thoroughly excel
lent Witches, our business hhs steadily in
creased as the public became ncqiiainlcJ
with their value, until for months together,
we have been unable to supply the demand.
We have repeatedly enlarged our factory
buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground, and give accommodation to
more than e:ght hundred workmen.
Wc arc folly justified in stating that we
now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade
marks engraved on the plate:
1. American Watch Co." Waltham,
Mass.
2. "Appleton, Tracy & Co.M Wnltham,
Mat-s.
3. "P. S. Bartlctt," Wnltham, Mass.
4. - Wm. Ellery."
5. 'OUR LADIES WATCH of the first
quality is nuncd Applcton, Tracy
&. Co." Walthsm. Mass.
G. 44 Our next quality of Ladies' Watch is
named ' 1. S. "Bartlett," Waltham,
Mass. These watches are furnished
in a great variety of izes and styles
of cases.
The American Watch Co., of Waltham,
Mass., authorize us to state that without
distinction of trade marks or price,
ALL THE TRODUCTS OF THEIR FAC
TORY ARE FULLY WARRNTED
to be the best time-keepers of their class ev
er made in this or any other country. Buy
ers should remember that unlike the guar
antee of a foreign maker who can never be
reached, this warrantee is good at all times
against the Company or their agents, and
that if after the most thorough trial, any
watch should prove defective in any partic
ular, it tmy always be exchanged for anoth
er. As the American Watches made t
Walt him, are for sale by dealers generally
throughout the country, we do not solicit or
der for single watches.
CAUTION.The public are cautioned to
buy only o" respectable dealers. AH persons
selling counterfeits will be prosecuted.
