-The attention of our readers, and,

of this week's issue.
on our first page
The Portland House.
Our oM friend, Mr. Jacob . Hiestand,
has we Lam, got himself snugly en
sconced in the Hotel, purchased by him
at Mt. Bethel Station, and until recently
occupied by "Col. Peter Rellis. He has
named his Hotel, the Portland IIou.ce.
after the Dewly chrUtcned post-ofSce at
that poiut. Jacob has had considerable
experience in the business, and the expe-
.liccce of all who have sojourned with
j;im in his capacity of landlord is such, as
to convince them that if he does not know
.how to keep a Hotel, it would be folly to
attempt tolookframan whodoes. A neat
-and clean Hoase,an excellent and ruxuriaut
i alle, a bar provided with the choicest
wines and liquors, and wholly exempt
Irom the "tangle-foot stuff" too often
imposed upon the public, and kind and
..obliging attendanta,werc characteristics of
hi landlordship of the Washington Ho
tel iu Stroudsburg, and will, certaiuly,
be of the Portland House, uuder his man
agement. As a citizen, Stroudsburg
never had a better resident: and while
we, and the public, regret our loss in this
respect, we cannot but congratulate the
citizens of Mt. Detbcl Station on so vala
able an acquisition to their Dumber.
A Good Move.
We learn that a number of the young
Txicu of our borough, are organizing a new
fire company to take charge of the Hu
mane EDgine.au excellent little machine,
which has too long been left to take care
of iUelf. From the names and character
of the gcatlemen comprising the contem
plated new company, we do not hesitate
to say that the Humane, when under way,
will prove a most efficient auxiliary in
ihc extinguishing of firee. The material
forming the company is certainly of the
right Etripe for active work.

"A Sound Article."
Wc take pleasure, real, unalloyed plea
sure, in announcing to our readers, and
the public, that our neighbor of the
Democrat, was safely delivered last week
ot a reauy sound article. in some
of its minuting it was not exactly the
thing; in that, for instance, that our
neighbor felt impelled to indulge his
penchant for blackguardism in the little
fling he made at " that misable relittle
sheet, the J'ffersonian" and those " who
have control" of it, and that which they
uphold, and one or two other trifle
Rut we call it "a sound article," never
theless, one of the kind with which our
neighbor is, doubtless, so deeply in love
and always reads with so rich a gusto
and, surely, one of the kind which should
give joy to every Republican, as iodicat
ing the dawn of a millenium soon to open
upon the sauctum from whence darkness
alone has so long been permitlted to flow
upon his readers.
The occasion of this " sound article
was a very foolish movement made by a
few of the Republican members of the
Legislature, looking, possibly, first, to
the establisment of their own self-import
ance, and second, to the transfer of Ed
win M. Stanton, from the War to the
Treasury Department, in the contingency
of Senator Wade being called upon to
611 out the unexpired term oi the great
impeached, in the Presidential chair.
The mSvemcnt received no countenance
from the Republican Press, but was re
buked by it, and was condemned by no
one more pointedly than by Mr. Stanton
himself. Our neighbor, following in the
wake of these good exemplars of all who
wish to do right, politically, rebukes it
too; and feeling, without doubt, that re
buking Republican members, who gene
rally did uncommonly well lust winter,
does not insert the probe .deep enough,
soundly berates his co laborers in the
cause of Democracy. He says:
" It is true there were some amon the
minority in this boJy who arc upright, hon
orable men, whose acts and character are
unblemished by greed for plunder and power.
but the body of them, who are composed of
adventurers and the ojjalls of society, ure rtfe
for any irorft."
Now there is no wiping these facts out.
The " minority of this body " (meaning
the Legislature), comprise the Democratic
portiou of it; and while we join our neigh
bor in his assertion, that " thero vert
suiuv aiuuug me minority wno arc
.i - . f, , . .
honorable men," we caunot, if we would
because the truth will not permit us, fai
or even hesitate, to join him in his con
elusion, that " rhe body " of the minority
are just the characters he represents them
tote. We italicise a portion of the ex
tract, because there is an especial ''sound
ncss in it, and because there is a show
boldness which indicates a contemplate
cutting loose Irom the leading strings
which, hell by the political saints ol
this neighborhood, have hitherto led our
neighbor deeper iuto the filth of politica
ccss-pool dom, than his tender conscience
can well tear. If our neighbor but keeps
before his mind s eye the " sound '
truths which he has thus so bravely pub
Iisbed, the day may not be far distant in
which he may hit upon "wisdom's ways,"
which he will find indeed to be " ways o
pleasantness and all whose- paths are
peace."
It is certainly an evidence of th hap
peuiug, or going to happen, of something
moro than a natural couvulsiou, when a
Democratic Editor can speak thus souud
ly and truthfully of the criminal charac
ter of his co-partizans, and draw from Re
publican sources to sustain the burning
facts which he employs against them
The s'ouudncss of his article would have
been fair, and we should have given him
credit for it even had it not been sup
ported by the pure doctrine drawn from
the Scranton Republican. With that to
back it, however, it is complete fin
ished. May we look for more such?
Grape Wine for Sickness.
Decidedly one of the nicest and most

The " Monroe Democrat " on " The Elec
tive Franchise."
Tho Monroe Democrat, our cotcmpo-
rary, came out laei week, iu u leinuic
sweat, with hair erect, kicking right and
eft, like a mad man, at our Republican
Legislature, becauso it, fearing not our
rothy, blustering neighbor, nor his like,
had the audacity to enact, in the' first
place, a Registry law, such as many other
Sfates have had in operation for years;
secondly, for introducing in the Lcgisla
turc a bill to prevent voting on forged
naturalization papers. Such is the of-
fenco of our Legislature. 44 Now what is
the meaning of this movement?" ask?
the Democrat. Now, Mr. Democrat, sym
pathizing with you in your ignorance,
permit us to enlighten you as to the ex
act 41 meaning of this movement."
In the first place, it is notorious that
there were last year, in Luzerne County
alone, manufactured five thousand forged
naturalization paper, which papers were
voted on jn various parts of the State to
carry the Democratic ticket last fall
Now mind, this -is no clap-trap, for it is
a proved fact, mainly by Democratic wit
nesses, which is proof strong enough, we
trust, to satisfy our fussy neighbor that
this damnable crime is unalterably fixed
upon the skirts of his honest party. Mark
vou, this is but one of the Democratic
vote manufacturing establishments dii
covered and ventilated. It is an old
trick of the Democracy. For years back
in every hotly contested election, they
have been peddling forged naturalization
papers, as a quack doctor docs his bogus
pills. Rut we have not been able to lay
our hands upon them in any considerable
number, until nowr

Something to Talk About
A. few weeks ago wc had a flurry and
talk aboutthe building of a strcetrailroad,
rom
the depot, through Elizabeth or
Main streets, to the fairgrounds.: It was
a wonder of ..several day's duration,- and
many were the speculations and proph-
cies, as to the cost, the profit and loss,
and all that sort of thing. , The project
died out, or was temporarily smothered,
and we hear no more of the street railroad,
its passenger and freight cars, its coal de
pot, itc.
The town has become dull since the
death, and subjects of town-talk have be
come 60 scarce, that from necessity our
solons arc almost driven into tho old
track of letting themselves alone, and
talking about the affairs of their neigh
bors. Come, neighbors, let us stop this
before it grows into a habit. There are
none of us so perfect that we are quali
fied to pick flaws with others, and wc
had better let that business alone. Rut,
says one, what shall we talk about? We
have a subject that will last for years, if
wc chose, without losing a jot of its inte
test or importance, and that subject is
water pure, wholcsoma water cool,
refreshing, &c, &c.
Our landlords and Messrs. J. S. Wil
Hams k Co., especially the latter, furnish
us with " the ardent," of great purity,
and in greater abundance. Rut we can'H
live on the ardent alone. We must have
water, and we ought to have it in greater
abundance, by far, than we now have it.
We need it for all the health promoting
purposes of life; and we need it as a pro
tection to our lives and property from
fire ; and wc have it so handy and in
such great abundance, on and among our
bills, that the great wonder is, that by

A gentleman passing through our village,
on Monday of this week, calleJ on nearly
all of our Cabinet Makers and Undertaken
in town, with a patent, or new process for
covering CofSnt, usmjr his own words, at a
coet of 40 cents each, lor n lull sized Uothn,
and the lumber would need no planing at
that. At the first sight it looked very well;
but on closo examination the buyer found
himself eo!1 Some of our Undertakers took
the bait, and the hook is fat in their gill.
The process: Varnish the wood with black
v nrmsli, then eifl over the same some pul
verized black wool, or cloth ground up aa
fine aa wheat flour, and you hive a cohm
covered with B ack Cloth for 40 cents tlt
will probably cost you SO or $10. Look out
for covered Coffins. We have a list of shop

The Officers at Caolisle Rarracks hav

has been ordered to duty with his regi

skirmishes will be more in the line of his

them a bill, if not already passed, with a
view to provide such favorable legislation
that Southern Methodists can dinprwse
the Methodist Episcopal Church of its

may favor the Southern Methodist, we
presume the Federal Courts will protect

It has become a sort of popular al
most rational faith that it is not pos
sible to bo truly happy unless you drink
Among certain classes and they are by
no means exclusively the lowest drink
ing i.- the beginning and end of everv
thing. The very name of liquor is held
to be yynoiiyinous with enjoyment, 'and
thc dearer the liquor the moic it is prized
and coveted. Yet every man who is Dot
a downright drunkard, is well aware that
the pleasures of drinking are, beyond a
certain poiut, mockery, a delusion and
snaie. I put it to any one who has stood
half thc night at a bar, or sat half. tho.
night iu a clubroom, drinkiug, stnokinc-
and bandying reckless talk, if the eTy-
ment ot such an evening lias beja auv
thins like that of a few quiet hoivs spent
at home with a book or newsp-pjr ? The
evil influence of tavern pleasure on the
health is too obvious to. fee , denied bv
any one, and tho illusory nature &f
pleasures the retire would be undenia
ble also,. if the persona who indulge, in
them did not deceive themselves and put
tho truth out of sight.
No one ever brought any good out 'of '
a drinking bout yet. It is a short, fe
verish spasm of animal enjoymcut, which.
leaves nothincr but moroseness. regret.
bail temper, selfish reproach and head
ache. I should like to ask you, sir, if
you say your prayers when you come
home in that Mate; No, you don t.
You . are ashamed to say them. .Y'ou'
postpono them until you have purged'
yourself, your mind and your lips by moro
sober and rational behavior. Next night
when you pass the hours quietly at homo
with a book or a friend, you feel that you
had real enjoymcut, and that tho timo
has passed pleasantly, that you havo
learned bomething and that you have not
injured your health. You are not
ashamed to s:iy your prayers, and you get
up next morning with a clear ' head, a
good appetite, and an increasing facility
for work aod enjoyment of life. -1 the
