IlLTUBMCAN STATE TICKET.
FOR AUDITOR fJEXERAL:

for surveyor cexeral :
Cot, HOKTIMJKATII.of Sciiuy;lkill
ZkZ The Convention, of tlie untcrrified
Democracy aRsenibled at the Court House on
Monday last, ind organized by the appoint
ment of Samuel Case, of Tobyhanna, Chairman,
and the usual number of assistants in shape of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries. The business
of the Convention was conducted with unusual
quietness, but it was apparent that there was
an inward feeling that needed only a punch or
too to cause the whole concern to burst out in
a most destructive tornado. Several of the town
ships presented more than the allotted number of
Delegates, but the extras were uncercmoni
ou.-ly set inside, and the work of balloting pro
ceeded with.
As candidates for the nomination, the West
end presented the name of William Smith,
Esq., of Koss ; the East, the names of Andrew
Shoemaker and J. W. Eilenberger, and the
Centre, or borough of Stroudsburg, the names
of Kichard S. Staples and Charles S. Detrick.
Mr. Eilenberger's name was withdrawn, leav
ing but four names to be voted for. During
the balloting, which occupied the whole of the
afternoon, and a portion of the evening it was
apparent that the work was proving quite a
urv ana kiiiv auair to me .ueiejraies. jt was
a stick and a shift all the way through, and
repeated adjournments were necessary to offer
Delegates an opportunity to wet up, and see
somebody, and be seen by somebody. Smith
was decidedly the favorite, and there is but
Ittle doubt that the voting would have cul
minated in his nomination, but for the impru
denee ot one ot Ins Delegates in suggesting
an adjournment until after supper. This
motion was eagerly snapped at by the Staple
itc, nnd, of course "Eilly Smith's" flint was
fixed his cake was dough. The adjourn
men t took place, but little supper was eaten
There was, however, a great deal of running
to and fro, and seeing and being seen, and, as
a consequence, on the re-assembling of the
Con vcntion,after humble confessingsorgivingn,
e mbracir.gs, and almost kissings, Staples was
nominated for lU-prcsentativc by a hand
some majority. r
Staples's generalship, displayed throughout
the whole affair, was decidedly great. The
Convention assembled with a large and some
what bitter majority against him. He was to
lie defeated at all hazzards, but he held his
small force well in hand, and, at every turn,
w managed as to enter a wedge into the hubs of
his enemys artillery wheels, and prevent their
effective use, and to put space between the
allivd forces. When the adjournment for s;ip
ler arrived, his position was perfect, and on
the renewal of the battle in the evening, the
"Col's" in the Virginia Vailey under Early,
were not sent whirling to their homes, under
a greater scare or with greater speed, than
were the "Cops" of the West end under Gen
i ral I'.illy Smith. It is said that the army in
Elanders swore some on a certain occasion,
l.iit we doubt whether their protestations were
half as terriffic, as were those of the army of
the West end, when they found their idol,
Smith, dashed from his pedestal and laying
broken and bleeding on the ground. It was
truly awful, and was apparently indulged to
render still more emphatic, the thundering
protestation that no Stroudsbnrger should ever
again get their votes for any office.
One of the results of the Convention has
been the bringing of a volunteer candidate
a Democrat, and or.e of the defeated Mr.
Charles S. Detrick, into the field. This may
be all right in a Democratic point of view,
but for the life of us we do not see the point
of the move. Charles never had the shadow
of a chance before the Convention, and we do
not t,ee what he expects to make now. Uefore
the people with his Delegates he was nowhere
having carried but four Delegates out of the
forty elected. Eut it is his own affair, an?,
probably is indulged in because from C'
ence defeat has become precion m

Senator Morton announced in his speech
st St. Louis, that whilst Democracy were
ever ready to clamor for a reduction of
taxation, and an economical administra
tion of the Government, when tho votes
were taken in the Senate, to reduce the
taxation some eighty five million dollars,
not one Democrat voted aye. They do
not want the taxes reduced because the
Republicans would have the credit for
the reduction and Democracy would there
by lose a popular shibboleth.
General McCook, Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio, has become so de
moralized by the effects of the campaign
thu3 far that he has had to abandon fur
ther speech making. It is now reported
that his name will be withdrawn altogeth
er, and some other, probably that of
i nomas lowing, put up in its place. The
result is that nobody doubts a Republican
victory in the State, and it is now believ
ed that the majority will be one of the
largest ever obtained.

The Delegate elections throughout this
county, under the auspices of the Democracy,
passed off, on Saturday last, with even more
than the usual "spirit." In town! benzine,
tangle-foot, and lager, appeared to be potent
arguments with many of the voters, and, as
a consequence, besides voting, voter found
our side-walks unusually narrow.
Folks, both in town and country, should
bear in mind that the time for holding the
county fair is rapidly drawing near. We hope
no one is idle, but that everybody ia doing
something to make this the best and most satis
factory Fair the Society has ever held. Re
member, it is not what the officers of the
Society do so much as what the people do that
makes the Fair a success or failure.
The Weather, during the past week
has been given to more than usual dampness.
It rained nearly every day. Old Sol, with
his shining face appeared to be nowhere.
Our streams got very high in consequence,
and fears of damage along our streams are
entertained. A portion of the trestle work
under tho high bridge at liansbury's, on the
D. L. & W. 11. It., where a new iron bridge
is erecting, was carried away by the water,

A grand game of base bail is to be

The board of Directors of the Farmers' nnd

at Easton, Pa., on the 19th, 20th, 21st and
22d days of September next The premium
list is liberal and the building, grounds, track
and stabling are the finest of any society or
association of a like kind in the State of
Pennsylvania. aug. 10'71-5t.
Quite a little jail delivery took placo at
Hotel de Troch, on Thursday last. Peterson,
the horse thief, and Flyte, the cow thief, con
cluding that they had tarried long enough in
the place, and not properly appreciating the
accommodations, pulleel a few stone from the
wall, and left for parts unknown. We have
heard of no steps being taken to induce their
return, and have no idea they will return of
their own accord. By 'the way, when is that
new jail to be built ? Bad boys, are Conrad
and Levi.
Messrs. Ilohcnshcldt & Son, the
enterprising proprietors of the Analoniink
I louse, at East Stroudsburg, arc at present en
gaged in the erection of an addition 4Qx4() to
their main building. The new part just added
is a frame structure, and is very neat and con
venient. The whole dimensions of the build
ing, when completed will be 40 x 70, and
with these increased facilities for the accom
modation of guests, we predict for them that
unprecedented success which they so justly
deserve.
The Installation of the llcv. Geo.
W. Marriott, D. D., as pastor of the
Lutheran Church, in this borough, will take
place on Sabbath morning next. As the
services in connection with this rite arc very
impressive, and as they will be conducted on
this occasion, by clergymen eminent in the
Lutheran Church, as well as out of it, the
Church should bo crowded at each service.
It is gratifying to know that the congrega
tion are well pleased with their Pastor, who
has already taken a most energetic hold upon
his duties, and take a lively interest in the
approaching ceremonies.

We observe from a circular before us,
that the Trustees of "The IJelvidere Classical
Academy," have elected the Tier. J. Kirby
Davis, of this place, Principal of that Institu
tion. Mr. Davis is an educator of more than
usual skill, and we cannot but regret that he
has felt induced to leave us. His school here
was well supported, and his scholars exhibited
such evidences of improvement as are seldom
met with in scanning the advancement of our
school attending youth. While we cannot
but regret his departure from our midst, we
cannot but congratulate the Belviderians upon
so valuable an acquisition to their list of edu
cators. Mr. D, is also an eloquent Divine. ;
The Camp Meeting near the Water
Gap, albeit the weather was not the most
inviting being unusually wet and stormy
was well attended during each day. Much
interest was manifested in the services. The
number present on Sunday has been estima
ted at Thirty-five hundred. During the
meeting sermons by' Drs. Bartine, Nelson,
and other eminent ministers of the denomin
ation, were listened to with interest, but the
sermon by the Rev. Mr, McConnell, of the
Stroudsburg M. E. Church, on Sabbath
afternoon, is pronounced, by all who heard it,
as the best one delivered during the continu
ance of the camp.

him. Northrop of the Canadensis club
worked hard to keep his men tip to every
advantageous point, but it was of no use.
The red jackets were there to beat them.

A larftc party of our young gents and
maidens, indulged in a pic-nic, at the lake
on Friday last. The pleasures of the day
were somewhat marred by an old fashioned
torrent of rain, but, being equal to the oc
casion, the. party took possession of the
Saylorsburg Hotel, kept by that Prince of
good landlords, II. L. Shircman, and hid
as good a time as could be scared .up any
where. If everything connected with the
pic-nic, was as good and lovely, as the cake,
and we have no reason to doubt it, a better
get up was never got up you bet. We
know about the cake, for thanks to the gen
erosity of the "lovely creatures" who attend
ed, the printers were duly aud most gen
eroujjy remembered.

A Secret Worth Knowing. pc
ters' Musical Monthly for September is a sjtlen
did number. It would seem almost impossible
to improve this excellent work, and yet eacl
succeeding number seems to be better than the
last. This present number opens with a beau
tiful Ballad by G. W. Persley, entitled "Bar
ney Alcen ;" then follows a charming Song bv
Tucker, "My Mother's Wedding-Ring ;"' after
which comes Thomas's Sacred Song, "The Cross
and Crown," which is alone worth double the
price of the Monthly. "My Sister in Heaven,'
Song and Chorus, and "The Home of theSwal
lows," Duet, are also qems of creat value.
These are followed by five Quartets, three easy
Piano pieces, and two elegant Transcriptions by
Leonie Tonel, making a total of fifteen pieces,
printed from thirty-six full-size music-plates,
and you can Qd all this clioice music for thirty
cents. Vol. VIII, commenced with the Jul y
number, and the publisher offers to send the
J uly, August, and September numbere for 75
cents. Address J. L. eters, 599 Broadway,

On Sunday last, owing to the unexpected
demand upon hotel keepers tables and sta
bles combined an accident occured at Dutots
burg which came very near resulting in the
death of four valuable horses. It appears
that the first floor of the stables, attached to
what has been heretofore known as the
"Brainard House," was completely filled up
with horses, and in order to supply the de
mand, temporary arrangements for feeding
were erected upon the second floor. Four
horses, which had been engaged in running
an omnibus to and from the camp grounds,
and belonging to a firm at Belvidere Corners,
were taken upon this "elevated" spot for the
purpose of feeding, when the flooring in
some manner gave way, and three of them
were precipitated to the floor below. In fal
ling, one of the animals got his limbs fast and
hung suspendece in mid air, when ropes and
pulleys were required to extricate him from
his perilous position. None of the horses
were killed outright.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
one of the animals expired on Sunday night
THE LOST "WEEHAWKEN."
The Dead Bodies of the Engineers Re
covered Ajter Lying Eight Years at
the Bottom of the is'ca.
D. L. Braine, commander, United
States navy, writes, under date of August
21, as follows :
It will be remembered that the United
States iron-clad "Weehawked," com
manded by the gallant Commedore James
N. Duncan, foundered in Charleston har
bor, on the Cth of December, 18G3. Many
of the officers and crew perished in that
disaster, but the bodies of most of them
were soon recovered and interred, it is
conjectured, in Charleston or its vicinty.
ltccently, by the aid of a diving ap
paratus, four other bodies have been re
covered from the engine room, aud will
be pent to N'ew York for interment as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made.
The remains, of course, cannot be
identified at present, but as the following
engineers were reported at the time to be
among the, lost it is probable that the re
maius found in the engine room may be
those of the missing engineers. Their
names are George W. McGowan, Henry
W. Merian, Augustus Mitchell and
Charles Spongbergh.
Information is desired by the com
mandant of the navy yard, at New York,
as to the residence of any of the near
relatives of the deceased engineers, in
order that they may be notified on the
arrival of the remains from Charleston,
in season to bo present at the .funeral,
which will take place in the chapel of the
Naval Hospital, and the remains interred
iu the cemetery attached to that institu
tion. A Wild Man in Plymouth.
We have it from reliable sources, that
for the last two or three weeks a wild man
has been seen in Plymouth township,
Montgomery county. His hidiog place
is at present supposed to be in Mr. llalph's
thicket. Near by are three large corn
fields, through which he approaches the
farm houses, during the absence of the
male members, and begs for food. The
women have seen and conversed with him,
but strange to say he always appears in
the absence of men, no man having seen
him yet, although several hunts have been
made, and watches set for his discovery
He told the women with whom he con
versed, that he could always tell by in
stinct whether any male members were
about. His hair reaches half down his
body, and his clothes are in shreds, his
whole jippearance being that of a wild or
crazy man. He states that he came from
Ohio, but will give no further answers,
relating to himself. The supposition is
that he is an escaped criminal, and we
understand that the neighborhood will
turn out en viase for his capture, should
he continue in his present quarters. The
women and children are greatly alarmed,
and the heads of the households fear to
leave their families alone. He has been
at Mr. Samuel Weidner's house on sever
al occasions, and conversed with the wo
men during Mr. WeidneT's absence.
Norristown Defender.
A Female Hunter.
About twenty miles from the Healing
Springs in the Allegheny Mountains,
there lives a most remarkable woman.
Her name is Morrison, but she is known
all through the country as "Miss Jennie
Ilucker." She is about sixty years of
age, nas her hair bobbed like a man s,
wears a man's hat, aud rides a horse
astride. Hunting is her means of liveli
hood, and she kills deer, bear and other
game with the skill of forty years' expe
rience. Not loDg since she wounded a
deer, but before coming up with it an
other hunter a man had gotten to it
and commenced carving it up. The old
lady expostulated with no avail, and
finally drew a bead on him with her rifle
to enforce her "rights." The fellow
jumped behind a tree, but left his heel
exposed, at which vulnerable spot the old
lady fired and hit. She got her deer.
She has nine or ten children, and is said
to treat all travelers hospitably who stop
at her cabin. Letter from Bath county,

A Dream Singularly Fulfilled.
About ODe month ago Mr. James II.
Webster, residing with his brother, at
No. 52G West 37th street, New York, re
lated the following : lie dreamed in his
bedroom there was a coffin standing
against the bureau, and on the lid of it
was a plate, on which was inscribed,
"James II. Webster, died August Cth,
1871." The dream at the time made no
impression on the family. Mr. Webster
was taken ill on the 5th of the month,
and on the Cth, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, he was a corpse. When the
undertaker took the coffin into the room,
singular as it may appear, he placed it
against the bureau in precisely the pois
tion as seen by Mr. Webster in his dream.
The truth of the above story is vouched
for by Sergeant Lowrcy of the Thirty
seventh street station.

The Women and Children Prisoners at
Tersailles.
Paris (August 7) Cor. of the London Timc3.
There stands in the Hue des Chantiers
at Versailles a large three storied granary,
surrounded by a walled in court, the en
trance to which is guarded by sentries
In this building are lodged upward ol
four hundred women and children who
were arrested during the late events in
Paris. The women were for the most
part of the very lowest type, with brazen
features, slatternly attire and unkempt
hair, evidently not the result of imprison
ment or hardship, but a normal condition.
On the left as we enter there was a
comer set apart for visits, where a few
women of a better class were receiving
some of their friends, and under canvas
screens erected against the walls had been
extemporized a range of kitchens, where
cooicing was goiug torward actively, lne
prison rations consist of bread, soup and
vegetables, with meat occasionally ; but
besides this a cart comes to the prison
door every morning with all sorts of pro
vender, and they are allowed to buy as
thev can afford. The result U that some
of the most enterprising and speculative
nave established a sort ot restaurant,
where a tolerable array of dishes was, ex
posed upca a baLli ui earth leveled for the
purpose.
Altogether, the court yard looked some
thing like a gipsy encampment, and the
very Bohemian aspect of its female popu
lation was quite in keeping with it. I
observed very few occupied in sewing or
industry of any kind. They were bask
ing in groups in the sun, taking aud
laughing loudly, or strolling about link
ed together, and apparently without a care
in the word. Some were washing their
children's clothes, the latter running
about half dressed till the process was
concluded.
These gamins have proved more de
sperate and incorrigible than their elders,
and it is possible they may, with that pre
ternatural acuteness which characterizes
the juvenile Arabs of the street, have
contributed their share to the incendiar
isflis and even to the resistauce behind
barricades. Those below ten years old
are not liable to trial, but, even if they
were, it is not probable that they would
be punished. Excepting in very aggra
vated cases among the older boys, those
who have no homes, where there is a pro
spect of their reformation, will be sent to
schools of agriculture in the country. I
was told by Lieutenant Marceau, who has
charge of the establishment, that the con
duct of the women was often riotous and
disorderly, and were it not for the cxer
else 01 a since discipline would lead

What Pennsylvania Produces.
From the census returns of 1870 we

CHOLERA.
HOW TO Ct'UE IT.
At the commencemnt of tho Diarrhoea,,
which always precedes an attack of the Cholera,.
a, ttraHJuiiuu oi uic fain jiller in sugar
and water, (hot if convenient,) and then hathe
freely ths stomach and bowels with tho l'aiik
Kuler clear. Should the diarrhoea or crami.
continue, repent the dose every ten or fifteen
minutes until the patient is relieved. In ex
treme cases, two or more texspoonfuls may be
given at a dose.
The 1 iin Killer, as an internal remedy, hn
no equal. In cases of Cholera, Summer Com
plaints, Dyspepsia, Dysentarv, Asthma, it cures
in one night by taking it internallv, and bath
ing with it freely. Iu action is like magic, when,
externally applied to Old Sores, I'.urus, ScalJ.
and Sprains. For Sick Headache and Tooth
ache, don't fail to try it. In short, it is a l'ain.
