Approved, April 22, 1S72. rrST"lN the Democratic Camp there seems to be, just now, considerable trouble brewing. A few weeks ago Gen. Cass, of Pittsburg, we believe, was the prominent man for Gover nor against all odds ; but latterly he appears to be passing under a cloud. The encroach ments of the Railroad monopolies, are so beginning to open the eyes of the people, that oven Democracy is obliged to halt ere it j:ives its detinies into the keeping of a candi date burdened with large rail road interests. Gen. Cass belongs to the great Pennsylvania Central ring, and is consequently, becoming more and more obnoxious to the people. In the meantime Charles lu Duckalew, of Columbia and J. Lawrence Getz, of "alt rr," arc coming prominently forward, and it would not be at all surprising if one of these should prove to be the victim for whom the Democracy will prepare the "funereal baked meats," to be used at the annual sac rifice of that party ia October. And so toorelative to the Presidency. The Cineinnati Convention produced for their mastication and nourishment a Stone in Horace Grcely, instead of Bread in Charles Adams, as was expected, and no alternative is left them but a separate Convention, scperatc Candidates, and sure and over whelming defeat Even should they conclude to forgo the routine of nominating caudi- u ites or their own, and agree to accept (Jrecly & Drown, it will not help them anj All hopes from Cincinnati was blundered a way by the action of that Convention. Whatever they may expect to gain from a union with disaffected Republicans, will e more than overbalanced by the hicgera from their own ranks, of the hundreds ol thousands of line back Democrats, who would rather eat toads than touch the ''Farmer of Chappequa" with a ten foot poll. No ! The die is cast There is no hope for the Democracy this fall; and those of that ilk who really believe victory for them to be a possibility had better be schooling theni- themselves to receive, with becoming humility a coufouni ed thresing at the Gubernatorial election in October, and the triumphant election of Gen. Grant in November. The fact has gone forth, and, in the language of Jco. Paggs, "what is to be did, will be." Oar relations with Great Britain do not improve by further correspondence. The difficulty raised by the British Gov eminent in regard to the presentation of claims for indirect damages has little foundation in reason or fact, but much in supposed political necessity. When the Joint Commission was sitting at Wash ington a year ago nobody objected to the submission of such claims for arbitration. But, last winter, when the rival factions uf Whigs and Tories were contending for power in Eoglaod, the latter attacked the Ministry for allowing the introduc tion of the subject before the Geneva Conference. Gladstone and the Whigs, to save themselves, at once denied any knowledge of such claims, and have since gone even farther than the Tories in in temperate opposition to a decision of the question. As the case now stauds Great Britaia declares that if the claim for iu direct damages is not abaudoned by us she will withdraw from the arbitration Our Government, after vainly seeking to avoid this result, now declines to with draw or modify its case, even at the risk f the treaty itself. Thus the hopes of a quiet and easy settlement of the Alabama difficulties will probably fall to the ground. It is not worth while to fiud fault or re rrimiuate with each other in regard to what both nations must really regret. The questions between the countries must remain unsettled for a time, but there is no occasion for warlike threats of hostile feelings on either side. A love sick and superstitions hatchelor of Troy, New York, sent a lock of hair to a New York fortune-teller, with the re quest that the future should be revealed to him. In a few days he received answer : "You will marry a railroad conductor, become the mother of five children, and be left a widow before 1377.' Go to Simon Fried's for bootd and thoes. Work on the Utah Southcran railroad is going forward, day and night The road will be fiuished to Utah Lake in about six weeks. . .

This famous poet and painter died in New York on Saturday evening, aged 50 j'ears and 2 months. His decease was not unexpected, as he was suffering severely from pleuro pneumonia when he arrived, on the 5th inst, from Liverpool, on the steamship Scotia, accompanied by his wife, and was so ill as to be unable to proceed any further on his jour ney to Cincinnati.

Owing to the desire of the Del awares to return home by the evening train but six innings were played, with the follow ing result : Delaware, 26 Stroudsburgers, 37 We presume our nine will give the Dela wares a chance for another shy to come of at Belvidere, in a week or two.

On Monday List, while Mr. "William Brotz- nian, of Sniithfield township, Monroe County, was out in the field repairing a Hay Bar rack, the upper portion or roof gave way, and striking him on the back of his neck must have killed him instantly. Mr. B. was at work a lonc, and the accident must have happened some time before discovery. His neck was broken, and he was otherwise injured about the head and shoulders. The deceased was about 50 years of age, was a quiet, peaceable citizen, and enjoyed the rcfpeet of all who knew him. He was a batchelor, and resided with one of his brothers at the time of the ac cident . In ready made clothing, whether in city or country, Ruster's stock cannot be beaten. TIae Fire In Somersct.-TIie Town Almost Entirely Destroyed. Pittsburg, 3Iay 10. A special despatch says the fire in Somerset, Pa., destroyed six squares in the heart of the town, embracing two-thirds of its entire value. The buildings destroyed included three hotels, every busi ncss house, store and shop but one, both banking houses, both printing offices, law years' offices, post office, United States asses sor's office, two churches, the Masonic and Odd Fellows' halls, telegraph and express offices, and over thirty private dwellings. Fifty families arc rendered homeless. The total of losses is estimated at $1,000,- 000 ; insurance, $75,000. . Every thing at Rustcrs is warranted to be as recommended or no sale. Max Cocpp of the well-known law firm ofGocpp k Sterne of New York city died on Long Island last Friday, in his 42d year, after a short but severe illness. He was born at Stuttgart, in WTirtcmburg, but came to this country while a child, and after rccciv ing a careful education at the Moravian Col lege in Bethlehem,. Penna., practiced law with much success in this State for several years. He removed to New York city 12 or 13 years ago, and soon attained a good posi tion in his profession. His honorable quali ties as a man endeared him to his associates, and his death will be felt as a severe shock by a wide circle of friends. Mr. Gocpp was an active Democrat and and a member of the Manhattan Club. If all who design purchasing goods call on Rustcr they will make money both in quality and price of goods purchased. Jndson Labar met with another ac cident on the railroad, near the Summett, a few days ago. While braking on a coal train his hold gave way, and he fell backward on a pile of ties, . injuring himself severely, though we learn not dangerously. Jud. ap pears to have a hard time of it in railroading. He has probably passed through more trying ordeals in that way, than any other man run ning, not the least mavellous of which was the being run over by a whole train of cars without being scrously hurt. On tint oc casion he was seen to fall on the track, directly in f ront of a running train, and when every looker on expected to find his body a mangled mass of bones and flesh, lo, after the the train passed by, upjupsJud, lively as a cricket, with but a few slight bruises to show that lie had been in the least danger. In collars, neck ties, cuffs, &c, for lady's or gents wear Rustcr has all the novelities Call and see them. IvOOli Out. A number of little boy? iu this place, have been in the habit, for some time, buying parlour Matches, and then rub bing them on store boxes, curb-stones, and the rails of the street passenger track, for the purpose of hearing them snap and crack when ignited. A merchant neighbor informs us that this has been going on for some time, he laboring under the idea that the purchases were being made for the parents of the purchasers. Since his discovery of the facts, lie has stopped the sale to boys, and it would be well for other merchants to follow his example. Parents, too, should look to it that the pockets of their boys arc not filled with this dangerous agent The recent fire at Pleasant Valley was caused by just this sort of fun, and a most destructive fire may be the result of its indulgence here in town if longer permitted. There is no charge for showing goods at Rusters, neither are there cross looks if you do not buy. A Sell. The facetious Telegraph opera tor, of this place, perpetrated a heavy sell on some of our fire laddies, on Monday evening last A manufactured dispatch that the services of the laddies with the Steamer, were wanted at once at Tobyhanna Mills. The laddies bustled home to make arrange ments with sweethearts and wives preparatory to a departure for the scene of conflagration. donned their old clothesc and hastened to the Engine House with eyes beaming most bril- liautly over the high old time ahead. The hoax was discovered before "der Macheen" was run out, and they didn't go. The promptness of the "laddies" was commend able deserving of all praise but thouch the conduct of the Operator may have been fun ny we cannot say it was smart. Another time, when they arc wanted a genuine call, for fear of another sell, may be allowed to pi ess unheeded. Practical jokinj? i3 well enough in its place, but its place is, certain ly, not where the safety of property may be compromised by its indulgence. Hotions, Dress trimings and fashionable Dress goods arc specialities with Rustcr and prices rule low. A lady entered a drug store and asked for a bottle of "Jane's Experience." The clerk informed her that Jane hadn't bot tled her experience yet, but they could furnish ' Jayne's Expectorant." JUJlY LifcT May T. 1872. GRAND JURORS. Barrelt Charles Rover, Jacob Boyer.

Montgo mery Blair has been made public : Washington, May 7, 1872. My Dear General: I have yours of the 4th. We will have to take Greeley or (jraot, and we will take Greeley re luclantly, of course, but not the less cer tainly. And he will be the more certain of election because the Democrats do not wish to embrace him at first. As for their running a candidate of their own. that would both be disastrous and dis graceful. They all gave in their adhesion to the Cincinnati Convention, and the most obstreperous of Greeley's opponents had their candidates before that Conven tion Voorhees, for example, was loud in his advocacy of Judge Davis, and The orld was earnest in pressing Adams. Aow, there certainly can be no greater departure from principle in supporting Greeley than there would be in support ing Davis or Adams, or any other radi cat. There can be, in fact, no motive as signed for the support of thc.e men and the refusal to support either of the others but mere personal preference. This is not statesmanship. It is mere caprice, ii - 1 not sotnetning worse, which no man can indulge in without the loss of public con ndence. ror my own part I go lor the movement initiated at Cincinnati to arrest the further progress of Radi calism. It is the ouly practical way of arresting it. As tor runuiug 111 a straight Democratic ticket betweeu Greeley and Grant, that is a dodge that will not be allowed to succeeJ. That can be done only in the small field of local politics, where the contest between rival aspirants is personal, and has become embittered. But the contest between the Republican and Democratic parties has always been a sectional contest, one party represent ing the rsorth and the other the South, and while the contest retains that charac ter the Republican success is assured by the census. It is only by dividing the more numerous North and allying itself with the more liberal division that the Democracy, representing the South, can hope for the recovery of the right of self Government for its ecction. The mo tuent that the Democracy shall set up for itself, the North will close its ranks aain. and the only effect would bo to sacrifice the leaders in the Liberal party who had attempted to help us. This would dis grace us and eo help to defeat us, not on ly now but hereafter. Of course there will be some honest Democrats who will not regard the subject in this light, and who will prefer to stand by their cuns. &c. But the noisiest fellows will he t hmm who are in the pay of the Administra tion. Chandler said recently (I learn on good authority) that there would be a straight Democratic ticket, and that he would give 2a,000 himself to start it. There are a good many Democrats of the T . ' 1 . x nu uiucr reauy 10 lane ins money and help to keep the statu quo. which is nro Ctable to them : fellows who understand manipulating claims quietly, and the Ad ministration has the public purse at its disposal and understands them, and how to make the most of them. There were over 100 office holders, all oflhem Grant's emissaries, in Cincinnati working for Adams. They were nearly all from Wash ington. I can furnish the names of about 50 of them. The strategy of Grant's friends were to secure for him the Irish vote by putting Adams on us, and so com pensate for the loss of the Liberal ReDub- licao vote, but he was folied, and they are furious. The ercat mairifv f Adam's supporters did not understand it. But the public mind is now thorouhIv aroused, acvJ when this is the case the power of purchasable iudivdiuahj and of the veual press is inconsiderable.. Salt Lake city has 30,000 souls. Over 20.000 barrels of salt were sold in Sandusky, Ohio, during 1871. The total loss by the earthquake in Inyo county, Cal., was 237,000.

All persons who had unseated lands sold two years ago should remember that if they intend to redeem the same it must be done before (he second Tuesday iu June. Those who have not paid their taxes for this year must do so before that day or their lands will be sold. M ' - - - 1 Go to Simon Fricd's for trunks and valices. N. Y.Coal Trade. The condition of the coal trade in New York is briefly stated by the Engineering d; Mining Journal: The dullness of the market has, if any thing increased since our last, and prices have a downward tendency, occasiomn heavy sacrifices to everybody engaged in the trade. The principal reason geucrally assigned lor this state oi anairs is too great a production and a consequent overcrowding ot the market.

Speaking about being buried alive, there is a story of an ox in Wiacoosia which survived the longest living burial 00 record. He had the good fortune, however, to be buried in a haystack, which fell upon him. Nobody knew what had become of the creature until after his mysterious disappearance had lasted over three week, when he put out an ap. pcarance from the haystack, having eaten his way from center to circumference. There was snow on the ground, which afforded moisture enough to pietcnt his dying from thirst. The Spaniards have a saying that a wife should resemble three things, aod jet differ from the same things. First, she should be like a snail, which alwajs guards its house, but she should not car ry the house with her whenever she goes out. Second, she shoulJ be like an echo, which speaks only after the other has finished, but she should not always have the last word. Third, she should be like the town clock, which always sounds the hour with regularity, but she should not sound so loul that the whole shall hear it. The ingenious boys of Alleghany City, Pa., have hit upon a new invention quite worthy of the rising generation. They catch all the stray cats that do not suc ceed in escaping their clutches, dip their backs info tar and then roll them in gravel. This give them an invulnerable suit of armor, the advantage of which must bo appreciated as fwn as they engage in on of those free - fights fpr which cats are somewhat noted. Nearly all the cats of Alleghany have been "gravel roofed" in this way, and very likely the style of architecture may be adopted in other places.
