THUESDAY, KARBH 27, 1873.
LOCAL. OPTIOIV.
The election, on Frida3r last, in this coun
ty, passed of very harmoniously, though
there was earnest work done for borough and
township officers, a general disposition was
liiani.esled n all tides, to bring forward the
best men, and then elect them. The cumula
tivc sy.-,tein, which prevails here secured a
pretty even division of the honors and per
quisites of office between the two great par
ties, and, with the result, all should be, if
they are not, satisfied.
The question of license or no license, was
the all absorbing one, aud on the counting
of the votes, it was proved that a majority
of between COO and 700 of our voters decided
it in favor of license. In the borough of
Stroudsburg the anti-license side carried the
day by 81 majority, but this amounts to
nothing more than an expression of opinion,
a-5 the aggregate majority in the county tie
odes the question for all the District?. But
two twnh;js joined the borough, Barrett
and btroud, and both of thetu by majorities
f ir be-low what was expected of thcui by the
anti license men. Now that the question
rests for three years to come, it would be
well for all hands to bury animosities engen
dered during the campaign, and greet each
other as men and brethren again. '
Below we give the official vote on the li

Travel on the Missouri. In an article
on the progress and. prospects of the North

states that Edwinton the new town at the
railroad crossing on the Missouri, will have
two new lines of steam boats this spring,

One line will run north and wot to Fort
Benton ; the other southward to Sioux City.
For a town that had no existence six month
ago, Edwinton bids fair to be a busy place
next season.
What the People bay. When public
opinion everywhere sets in one direction on
any subject it may be safely concluded that
there are substantial grounds for the univer
sal verdict. That such uniformity of senti
ment exists with regard to the properties of
the tonic known as Vinegar Bitters, it is im
possible to doubt. We never travel any
where by land or water without hearing it
commended in the strongest terms by indivi
duals of every class. Nor is the commenda
tion vague and indefinite. Oa the contrary,
special cases are cited, names and dates given,
and cures of almost every variety of disease
vouched for by parties who appear to be
thoroughly in earnest, and personally cogni
zant of the facts they relate. Never was any
proprietary mediciue conversatitnally adver
tises, (if we may use the expression,) to the
same extent This disinterested viva voce
eulogy, is undoubtedly a tribute to merit.
Nothing but merit could call it forth. We
are therefore compelled to believe that the
new medicine possesses extraordinary reme
dial properties, and that they apply to nearly
all disease. This is what tlie people say, and
we accept their decision as incontrovertible.
There are four Masonic Lodges in

Horse Disease. A pair of horses, be-

duced in strength "as to be unable to stand.
Though everything that vetiuary science could
suggest was done for them they continued to

had been foisoned. YY e hope that such was
not the case, for we do not want to beiieve

tance is made, the collectors abandon
their attempt to make such seizure. It
urther states, however, that where a
collector makes demand lor taxes upon at
tenant, the tenant can make the payment
and deduct the same from rent due, and'
the owner can make no resistance to such'
deduction. It would consequently seemr
