Z&r Ou Thursday last, two of our fel low-cilizcn. Daniel Brown and C. L. Waters, went to Saw Creek, and after en joying a ttlc-a-tcte of a day and a halt with the speckled beauties, returned home with 427 fine trout. In the excitement of the occasion, and the enjoyment of the lux ury, we regret to say the printer was over looked. 1y We have been requested to an nounce that the Rev. W. W. Welsh, the dovecot Temperance Lecturer, will or ganize a Lodge of Good Templars, at the Court House, in this Rorough, on FriJry (to morrow) Evening, at S o'clock. Rro.

The firemen autend Lemg present in uniform. We ilmpe to see a large attendance of people Urom the country, as well as from th JJorou"h? . Pastor. Xf- DuriDg a visit up town recently we found the foundation of the new Lu J heron Church nearly completed, and the workmen busily at work cpon it. The design is to have this part of the build ing finished so as to have the corner stone laid, with appropriate ceremonies, on the 4th of July. We learn that dis tinguished clergymen from abroad have vlguiCel their intention to be present on the occasion. An interesting time may therefore be anticipated. Pic-nic. There will be a pic nic held in the woods near the Oakland M. E. Church, on the 4th of July next., by the Good Templars of that place. Eminent speak ers from abroad are expected to be pre sent and address the people on that occa sion on the subject of Temperance.

Tun Best American Osgan to be Gives roKTiiE Best American Stoov. The pub lishers of the new "Prise Story Magazine," offer as a premium for the best moral story one of S. D. & II.

OCT Esq Dkake, left at oar office, fat evening, a fine lot of choice Strawberries, gathered from his vines in Sirond township. They were real beauties, the largest meas uring nearly five inches in circumference. Who comes next. jjr We last week received the initial number of the "Wayne County Citizen, published at Honesdale, Pa. The "Citi zen" is a large thirty-two column paper, is neatly printed and ably edited, aud will doubtless prove an organ of which the llcpublicans of Wayne, may well feel proud. It takes the place of the "Kepub lie", always a good and reliable paper. E. A.Penuiman, publisher; J. C. Hells, Editor. May its shadows never be less, and may a full measure of political and pecuniary prosperity fall to its chare. - Shooting Affray. We learn with regret that Mr. John Ilufford, residing in Coolbaugh township in this county, was shot by Wm. War ner, a resident of the same township, about three weeks ago. The trouble, it is said, grew out of a horse trade betweeu Ilufford and another party, with which Warner interfered, and the shooting was most deliberately done with a double barrel shot run, the contents of one of the barrels of which entered Ilufford's leers and arms, inflicting severe but not fatal injury. Warner is still at large though steps looking towards his arrest have been taken. Surgical Operation. Remarkable Power or Endurance. On Monday last l)r. A. Reeves Jack son. assisted ov irs. . 11. A'avis anu 1 l- T IV 3 W. W. Ridlack, performed an operation for the removal of extensive disease o bones of the leg, upon Edward Nation, o Smithfield township. In order to accoin plish the operation an incision had to be made nearly the whole length of the leg and large portions of the bone had to be removed with the aid of saw and chisel The time occupied in the operation which was, of course, skillfully done, aud promises to be a complete success, was one hour and a half. The most remarka blc part of the transaction was the powers of endurance displayed by the patient, a young man -of twenty-four years of age, who sat on the operating-table and calmly watched all the surgeon's proceedings without a whimper. He positively de clined taking chloroform, for the reason that he " wanted to see how it was done." Struck by Lightning. During the thunder storm which pre vailed in this neighborhood, on Friday afternoon last, and which, by the way, was one of the most terrific storms that has visited this neighborhood in several years, the double house, on Monroe Ave nue, occupied by John McCarty and Jacob Ilarman, was struck by lightning. The course of the fluid was marked by a slight shattering of the walls and timber. Luckily no other damage was done. At the time of the stroke Mrs. McCarty and daughter were in the sitting-room of their side of the house, but escaped with out iujury, Mrs. McC. alone experiencing a sliirht shock about the head. The heft of the shock appeared to be on Mr. liar man's side of the house, and it was provi dential that the family was away from home, or serious personal injury, if not death, might have "been the result. A gate post belonging to Mr. Singmaster, near the residence of Reuben R. Cress, was struck and shattered to pieces durin the same storm. Grant and Colfax Clubs. The Secretary of the Michigan Repub lican State Central Committee reports thirty-three Grant and Colfax clubs al ready organized in that State, n hat are wc doing iu Pennsylvania in this direc tion? What in Monroe County? Here we have not a single club started, nor do we hear of any move Leing made to establish one. Is it not time that some thing be done? Or is it best think you, Republicans, to put the matter off to the last moment. We should remember that Democracy and Conservatism are bound to win next fall, if possible. They can Lnot do it if we are true to ourselves if we orgahize early, and set about the work systematically. JJut if we rest on our oars quietly, and look for others to work while wc are coolly, idly, and pleasantly enjoying ourselves, we will be very apt to wake up on some fine bracing morning in October, and possibly November, aud find ourselves a badly whipped party. If this happens the fault will be our own, and we will have no one to blame for it but ourselves. If, however, we begin aright, and work faithfully, wc cannot only carry the State of Pennsylvania by a larger ma jority than we ever did before, but we can perform a wonder here in Monroe County, which will make even Democrats stare. There .arc many in this county, always staunch Democrats, who want to vote for Grant and Colfax, and who will do it, iu spite' of the efforts of their file-leaders, if the way to step out of the ranks of the old party is made plain to them. Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and other States of the South, arc harvesting their wheat of good quiliry aud palisfac tory iu quantify. Fourth of July. We are promised something, on the ever elorious 4th, worthy of the times, and credi table to oar, patriutibm, commemorative of " the day wc celebrate," and wc are glad of it. We arc glad, more particularly, because we never like to see that day passed as an ordinary day is passed, in pandering to the sordid greed of business. We can conceive ot no day which should more ccitainly secure he reverence of Americans. Sunday is the day for rest and for religious observances and stand, as it should, at the head of dajs on that account The 4th of July is a day for thanksgiving, for civic display, and for general rejoicing, and dcservcJly ranks a head of all others in these respects. And we arc going to observe it, and we want ev ery body to observe it with us, in the spirit of religion, of patriotism and of fun. First ! We are to have the corner-stone laying of the new Lutheran Church, with eloquent divines to offer prayer of thankful ness for the return of our natal day to a pre served Union, and toTtalk to us of God's bles scd promises, and the necessity ot man 6 faithful performance of duty, in orJer tse cure their fulfilment ; exercises of great and lasting "interest to all. Second: We are to have a Grand Fire man's Parade, with the Phoenix and Union boys in line, with Engines newly painted and elegantly decorated, aad with new uni forms gotten up in the newest and prettiet 6tyles. These will certainly be in line and we expect to have the "Nay Aug's" c Scranton, with their splendid new steamer and we arc going to have music, and banners with devices calculated to add fervor to pa triotUm, and lustre to th moot brilliant pa geant ever gotten up in Stroudsburg. Third: We are to have a Grand our in forma nt dij not tell us what. We guessed it, but it is a grand secret, reader, and w dare not let it out. But such fun as wi come in when the time for the thirdly a rives. was never before conjured up by the inven ti ve jrcnious of man. Innocent fun not the bloodjr-nose kind but such fun ! Come on and all, therefore, from far and near, and joi with us of Stroudsburg, in doing the duty of patriots on ur glorious natal day. The Lady's Book," for July, is alrcad on hand, and is another step up the long lad der of progress, leading to perfection, set u by Cody, sume thirty odd years ago. As th July number commences a new volume, now is a good time to do what every body, who has not already done so should have done long ago, subscribe for the best magazine published. You have but to send -S3 in letter, addressoj "L. A. GoJy, Philadelphia, to secure it, punctually every month, for whole year. m WANTED! Wantiil a Captain to fUt-r A rirkety, chaky old traft ; On the Fourth of July it must clear This mLerahe, fated old craft ; Who bid to be Captain mu-t follow its wake If it lead him right into the bottonilc lake. Who lhb? let the bidding be lrik: None stand on political creed; Some one make the venture and rl-k, Even Chase would do in such need ; On the Fourth we must know who this Captain shall be And in the rouqh torm cut loo?c from the quay. The Jersey City Kcenlnn Journals few days since contained a better from Rev. Peeke, Pastor of the First Reformed Church in that city, in which, after pay ing an eloquent tribute to the public life and services of 31 r. Colfax, he says : Rut the most vital point to honest men is the integrity of Schuyler Colfax. When appointed to the charge of the mission church of South Rend, I found Mr. Col fax its faithful Deacon. He not only gave largely in charity to the poor, but wisely miuistered that charity under his own observation. On one occasion, one of his last acts before leaving South Rend for Washington, was to have a cooking-stove taken upon a wheelbarrow and given to a poor widow. During the two years of my mission labor he was my faithful friend, a very liberal supporter of the Gospel, a regular communicant, a consist ant Christian, &nd when in town always strict in his attendance upon all the worship and .ordinances of God's house. With such heavenly companion ship as God gave him in the person of the late .Mrs. Colfax, a saint, who breath ed the very atmosphere of the "celestial city," he could not well resist the attrac tion heavenward, and if ever a soul can be kept by the hallowed memories of loved ones departed, Speaker Colfax must con tinue to be what I believe he is an hon est man, a pure patriot, a sincere Chris tian. The highest testimony of our own regard for him and his is, that my two child ren whom it pleased God to bereave us of bear the names respectively of Mr. and Mrs. Colfax their memory the dearer as associated with the friends wc love. Andrew Johnson, as was expected would be the case on Saturday returned the Arkansas bill to Congress, with his usual stereotyped rea sons for not approving the measure? pass ed by our National Legislature for the re construction of the Southern States. The President write in very much the same vein and ftyle of his former messages, and those who have waded through his prating about the Constitution,-the ne groes, &.C, &c. as chronicled in a dozen vetoes, need uot trouble themselves to read this mass of stuff. It is really a farce for Congress to send Mr. Johnson anymore bits, . since he doubtless com mences preparing vetoes so soon as he hears of their introduction in the legisla tive halls. Longstreet, the ablest genefal of the late Confederacy, is open and out-spoken for Grant and Colfax. Dr. Rlaekbum, the small pox and yellow fever importer, i? a Dcuocrat- ' TukHk has been considerable " backing nd filling" among the Democracy during the past week in regard to the Chase movement, which looks ns though this articular Salmon was hatched from too bad an egg to suit the party. U hat then ooked as a fixed thing, begins to look now as though piscaculture would not be an experiment of the party this fall. Rut there is no telling yet what may come of it. It is certain that the retrograde is not intended to operate against his prin ciples if it docs militate against the chances of Mr. Chase personally; and it is barely possible that the origin of the Chase movement was but the hope that it might serve as a stepping stone, to ena ble the Democracy to reach a position in the affections of negrodom for service in the campaigns of this fall. The New-York " World," we believe was the original mover Chasewards; and it backed the movement with arguments so impregnable, that a, little more per sistencc would have had Chase and He mocracy Abolitionism and its uncom nromifcincr ormoncnt mounted in the r " i same saddle for the Presidential race The followers of the " World " took the matter so much in earnest, that it was an easy matter to tell who read and sub scribed to the doctrines of that delectable organ of Democracy, pure and simple, by the vehemences with which every Demo-f crat you met denounced or advocated the nomination of Salmon. The "World," however, appears to have been only in fun in the matter. It thought it had discovered a chestnut in the fire and it only used Salmon's paws to stir the chest nut out; at least so it says, in substance, if not in language. We think, however, the " World " is only in fun now, and that is was terribly in earnest when it desired Democracy to overslaugh its pa triots, statesmen and heroes for the pur pose of claiming the way for one whose life for a quarter of a century had been a life of open antagonism to the men and measures of the Democratic party. The course of the " World," since its veering around again as regards the man, has not been consistently sustained by a corresponding veering around as regards his principles. Tho fact is that the " World," with it3 political roguishness laid to one side, would be a sensible sheet. Its editors are not fools, and they see as plain as day, that the party which ignores the negroelemcnt, in the present struggle, is the party sure to go under, and to stay under for a very long time iu the great, progressive future. The " World," therefore, felt Salmon, and, through him, the pulse of Conservatism, only that it might learn whether any thing could really he made by a union of forces, to secure the one common object of present success; and the " World " discov ercd right speedily that Salmon's strength and Conservative strength combined wa? without power to stay the public torrent which is rushing like the maddened wa ters towards the election of Grant and Colfax. Even though added to Democ racy it was too week for the labor requir cd. The " World," therefore, drops Salmon and drops Conservatism as a pre sent clement, and takes up the negro un trammeled by either; not with a hope of success at this time, but with a hope for success in the future. It don't pretend that negro suffrage is right, just now; that would have been too powerful a dose at first; bat it asseverates that ne gro suffrage is a thing so fixed that the labors of a decade, however herculean, cannot wipe it out. And it argues by inference, that all the gain which could have been made by taking Salmon and the negro, with half the spoils of offices, can, in another campaign, if not in this, be made just as easily by swallowing the negro alone, with all the spoils. It was a fast and foose game the World was playing with Salmon and Conscrva fives, aud with its own readers also; but it has quit playing now, and has become as fast anchored to the men of its own kidney as it was before the game began. Rut it don't yield the "nigger," and if we may judge from the following ex tract, taken from its columns, it don't intend to very soon: "There w every reason to expect that the Southern ncgroc w ill vote in the next Presi dential election; and if wc )crmit all these htatefl to be carried by the Itcpul I leans, iiuiy ad well hanij up our harps on the willow. It coiiecnw iw to gain a portion of the negro vote. Those organs of Democracy which float as lesser stars around the great " World.'' will please make a note of this extract, as well of that other stubborn fact, that tho' the " World" has abandoned the Chase movement, it is still a fondly hugged theme of many of its political coteropora rics, both North and South. From the general prospect, we judge that the 4th of July Convention, in New York, will have a heavy time of it in settling the difference between its aspirants, and it may yet become the easiest possible thing for the Conservatives to &tep iu and carry off the honors. Tho South demands it, and the Democrats will probably have to concede it.

In various places the stampede from the Democratic ranks tO the StandarU Ot . . t I m Urant, has already commenced, seven- iy-uve voters oi lucnemycrauc persuasion - a . r .t. - i r came in a body to a Jvcpubliean caucus at Auourn, jiaine, a lew cveuings since, and announced their intention to work and vote with the Republicau party in the future. Of eighteen Generals and Colonels who signed a call .published m the National . 7., Ca1 , "The Washington Chronicle" says: "The Chairman ot the Democratic State Central Committee informed a friend in Pittsburg,-a few evenings ago, that it would be a hard job to carry Pennsylva nia against Graut and Colfax; and to prove it he demonstrated that last Fall the Democratic Judge was elected by less than 1,000, with the Democrats polling 94 per cent of their whole vote, and the Republicans 75 per cent less of theirs." . Throughout the West there is great indignation among the Democracy at the Democracy at the efforts making iu the East to secure for Mr. Chase the nomina tion for President at the New York Con vention. They denounces the movemeut io the strongest and bitterest terms, and exhibit more of a desire to adhere to the principles of the party than a readiness to abandon them, for a faint propect at the "loaves and fishes" under tbe administra tion of a man who has been their lifelong antagonist. As the Dubuque Herald says, "The Democracy of the West are uot yet quite ready to take up with the cast off clothes of the Radicals." Truly, the trouble in the camp of the unterriSed begins to assume au alarmiog aspect. Gen. McClellaD, it is announced on the strength of a private Letter, will return from Europe iu August, and will not be a candidate for President this time. He prefers Gen. Hancock, but will support the nominee of Tammany Hall. One ac count says he will take the stump for the Tammauy ticket, but wc think that must be an error. He takes the back track when he takes any thing. Presidential Clemency. The following pardons were yesterday issued by the President : Thomas Fitzgerald, who was held by theUnitedStates District Courtin Maine, for assult, with intent to kill, and was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Alfred Dclastasins, convicted in: the United States District Court of Pennsyl vania of making a counterfeit mail key, and sentenced to three years' imprison mcnt. II.

The Government has abandoned its chargo of treason against John H.
