the down-town people with a vocal serenade
one evening last week, taking their stand

Earn Burned. On Friday last, July
4 ih, a number of boys were patriotically
engaged in snapping fire-crackers near the
barn of Mr. Wm. Kunkle, in Polk township,
near Kreseeviile, when the building took
lire, and, with its entire contents, was con
turned. The loss falls heavily on Mr. K.
M;i. Samuel Buckley, residing in Stroud
township, recently had eighty-six chickens,
young and old, killed by dogs sixty-eight
killed at enc time, and sixteen at another.
We were of the opinion that it must have
ln a mink that done the damage, but Mr.
B. informs us that he caught a dog in the
act, which he immediately killed. The chick
ens were of a choice breed, and Mr. Buck
ley estimates his loss at $40.
Our townsman, Mr. Lewis Myers, recently
met widi a painful accident at his saw-mill
in Wayne county, in the following manner :

Tiic 4 tit of July.
Though the 4th was a dull day in Strouds
Wr flmfc Rfaffl of thiuirs did not exist
II ' W f
this occasion, (we hoiunly) let patriotism
fun and nrofit. slide, but other places took
o r',r.U vW nf the matter, and made the
day we celebrate a day of pleasure, and,
mmM.-nf.-ilk' of course a day of no small
pecuniary caiu.
At Tannersvillc, there was a regular set
celebration, with marchings, speeches, sing
ing and the music from Organ and Brass
Band, and the result was, every body there
was happy, and, when the day closed, every
one felt that he or she had not forgotten to
do a full share, in making true the prophecy
of the elder Adams that the day would be
held as one for rejoiciug, and would be cele
brated just as the Tanncrsvillers celebrated
it.
At East Stroudsburg the celebration was
'boiled down" to a festival for the benefit o
a Sabbath School. Large numbers however.
attended it; and while it proved a source
pecuniary profit for the object for which it
was held, it, at the same time, proved
source of great pleasure to all who attended
At Portland the day was celebrated under
the au.-pices of the Knights of Pythias, and
as the brethren of this particular branch
the mystic tie never do things by halves,
was well celebrated. Gen. Burnett, deliver
ed a most admirable and appropriate oration
on the occasion, and Chas. S. Detrick, Esq.
in an impressive manner read the declara
tion of Independence. The Portlanders
seemed anxious to have everybody pleased
with their entertainment, and were very suc
cessful. But for the excessive heat which
prevailed from midday until towards even
ing, a more pleasant celebration than that at
Portland could hardly have been met with
A large number of our citizens joined with
the Portland people in making the good time
had, a time long to be remembered.
At Washington. N. J., the day was also
celebrated. Here hosts of Stroudsburgers
Bethlchemites, Eastonians, and Lehigh Va
ley folks generally, and Jerseymen particular
ly united for the observance of the day. The
celebration wis gotten up under the auspice
of the United American Mechanics, and
embraced a Parade, Speeches, Feasting
Fireworks, and indeed everything calculated
to make human beings h-tppy. The parade
was pronounced, on all sides, splendid, but
our folks, who were there; did not, on their
return home, appear to be really carried
away Ly much else that transpired. Indeed
the word imparted on their return home
smacked muchly of an experience of severa
years ago, when plenty to pay and not inuc
to be received therefore was the order of the
day at Washington, N. J.
At the Hotels Van Dorn's particularly
a tolerable dinner was to be, and was had
at reasonable rates, but the Committee who
had charge of the ilfeed," and the general
preparation in the Grove, appeared to be
laboring, too severely, under an infliction of
"make on the brain," to care properly for
the comfort and satisfaction oftheinnerman,
or the safety cf the outcrman. The general
complaint of hunger, after rising from the
feast, and breaking down of the platform,
erected with a 1G foot hemlock fence board,
tacked with a very few 8 penny naib, for
support, and by which several were badly,
and one, at least, dangerously if not fatally
hurt, attest this. For such carelessness
Committeemen should be prosecuted, and,
on conviction be vigorously punished. Com
mittees have no right to invite people from
near and far to come among them, and spend
their money, and then spread a trap to
endanger their limbs and lives.
There was no excuse for the accident at
Washington on the 4th, unless the question
able one existed, which we do not of course
believe, that an arrangement had been made
with doctors, undertakers and grave diggers,
for a division of the spoils, which might arise
from the breaking down of so pestilent a
platform as was that in the grove on the 4th
which could not bear the weight of a dozen
persons men, women, and children all
told. After the excitement occasioned by
the accident had subsided, the" proceedings
at the Grove were entered into with spirit,
and proved very interesting. Maj. Howell's
Oration and Miss Gallagher's readings were
worth going many mile3 to listen to, and
others who contributed to the enjo3'ments of
the occasion, in a literary way acquitted
themselves well indeed.
In our comments above we intend no reflec
tion cither upon the U. A. M. brethren, nor
upon the citizens of Washington generally.
The management of the Committees having
the celebration in charge showed great lack
of fitness for the positions to which they were
apj)ointcd, and to their mismanagement
must be attributed all the complaint which
so. freely found vent on the grounds and
elsewhere.
As we said before, nothing was done in
fctroudsburg, by way of celebrating. The
boys both big and little did the cracking
business to perfection, but our folks general
ly who remained at borne took matters coolly
and in remembrance and silence only held
the day in veneration. We do not know but
that they were best off after all.

A duel was fought between Col. R. B
Rhett and Judge Cooley, at New Orleans,
on the 30th ult., in which the latter was
killed, having been shot in or near the
heart. The quarrel grew out of some
political misunderstanding, and these
"chivalric" fire-caters selected this old
fashioned Southern method of settling
the matter. The duel was fought with
double barreled shot guns. The account
states that after the second fire 'the
gentlemen engaged in the affair ex
changed the usual civilities, and separa
ted with the expression of mutual regard
and consideration." We presume the
man Knelt is one of the fire caters of
that name who figured so conspicuously
daring the war, and who were ever ready
to shoot, stab or otherwise kill anybody
who opposed "secesh." Isn't it about
time that such murderers were attended

mat commercial anatrs are now unusually
stagnant. Trade is dull, rents are high,
large losses have been sustained . by the
fall of prices of important articles, and
people are buyiug only for immediate
wants. The times are "hard." am Kmc!
p
ness men are growing cautious. The time
when fortunes could be made in a day
has passed. Yet all this is having a good
effect. The currency is steadily approach
ing a specie basis, and its purchasing
power is increasing. Imports are diminish
ing and exports are advancing, so that
the latter almost balance the former. We
have a prospect of good crops of grain
and cotton, for which Europe is sure to
offer a steady market. Our government
bonds are in great request abroad, and
our credit is high. . These facts secure
us against serious financial distress. It is
the merchants and traders, who depend
upon commerce, and not the producers
and manufacturers, who are likely to be
pinched. The Times thinks that the
money market this fall will be less
stringent than it has been" for three years
past, that Europe is more likely to send

The statement which James II. McCartf
made to four persons from Che?nutldll. in the
presence of a citizfn of this place, that he tV.r
nishe3 us with all the goods we pell, and that
he is responsible for the debts contracted by u
in the city.
We will fay for the information of person
who place any reliance upon his assertion (if
any such there be) that wc have never Lad a
dollars worth of furniture manufactured bvtioi
in our store, and that he is in no way resj'onsi
ble for our bills, neither are we responsible fcr
the volubility of his tengtte.
The above statement which he ha not or.!
made to the persons referred to, but to ot!:en
is in plain Anglo Saxon, fan it deserves ro
other), is a tnltftd, contemptible, dishonorable lit.
We kindly recommend him to commit to
memory the following stanza, and advise him
if he belives in its doctrine, to echew falsehood
hereafter and not resort to low cunning to me
nonest competition, brjt do it honorably, not
tneakingly.
"Truth crushed to earth will ri-;e ajain,
The eternal years of God are heis,
JutosAood mangled writhes in pain.
And dies amid her worshipers."
