THURSDAY JULY 31, 18r3.
jCriT" The Republican Convention for the
nomination of candidates, for the State
Treasurership and Judge of the Supreme
Court, will assemble at llarrisburg, on Wed
nesday, the 13th of August next. From the
-
number of good names presented for the
several positions, it will not be a difficult
matter for the delegates to select suehnoinin
nees as will receive the undivided support of
every true Republican in the State.
Hereabouts we are not divided as to men.
Having confidence in the probitj' of Republi
can Conventions, Monroe County Republi
cans are content to take the action of i
majority of the members as an expression
not only of the will of the majority, but also
na an nssnr.mv that the men placed in
nomination will prove, on their instalment in
to office, to be "faithful, honest and cap
able." In consequence of this our delegate,
John N. Stokes, Esq., goes to IIarri.-burg
untramellcd by instruction, and open to work,
1 na his host, iudrrment mav dicWtC, for the
nomiuation of the best men aiid the conse
nuent advancement of our best interests.
In our lookings around at the situation, it
has not failed to strike our vision, that, with
in the nartv, we have still left a few of those
"nioddle men," who think themselves cspe
cially placed upon earth to lead and control
whatever great move is demanded ly the
people, in the way of progress. These deligh t
in picking flaws with this man named in con
nection with prominent position, and bolster
ing up that one. They march boldly under
the banner, and prate largely, of reform.
They are paitieulary hard on rings, which
they see rolling around loose, in every move
at which they are not at the head. They
are lull of suggestions and prophesying,
Fin dm? but little to encourage them in their
own party, they quote largely from Demo
cratic journals and in fact, have nearly all their
htock in trade at second hand from the lead
ing men of the onoosition. These are at
work now as thej have been heretofore, with
their demands and their threatening ; but
we presume that, as heretofore, their vapor-
ings will be rated for just what they are
worth, and the August Convention will go
on with its work as coolly and as calnihasin
days gone by, and thus place the party in the
safe line of victory.
Last fall we had these men working against
us both within and without the party. Those
within were loud in their prognostications of
defeat unless, certain conditions set forth by
them were complied with. They pretended
great love for Grant, coupled with over
whelming fears for his success, because of the
nomination of bold, brave soldiers and fear
less, honest men for positions of importance
w ithin the State. Those outside, more honest
than the others more open, and conse
quently less dangerous boldly took the
stump, and labored zealously with the Demo
cracy to defeat both, State and National
nominations. The people heard them
- m a
without alarm ana, rejoicing over
the protrusion of the cloven foot
rebuked the miserable recreants, by giving
such majorities for the men of their choice
f.tr Ilartranft, Allen and Murcur, and for
(.1 rant and Wilson as had not been given for
other candidates since the Republic began.
Then too we have the Democratic leaders
.-ind the Democratic organs harping on this
fame tune of reform. They are terribly fear
ful that the August Republican Convention
will not nominate men measured by the
Democratic scale of honesty and fitness.
They, too, are fearful of ring machinations
and ring success. They, too, aspire to lead
the Republican party in Euch manner, that
they may reach the goal for which they have
wasted a decade of time in vain to reach
t ho offices of the land and their emoluments.
They too aspire to a hand in shaping our
ends, that the better chance may be theirs
to go in and whip us. But we opine that
the days of consummate folly have not yet
reached the Republican part', and that the
Republican Convention, will, in the exercise
cf its own best judgment, give us the men it
deems best, regardless of dictation come from
what quarter it may.
We are under no obligation either to our
own internal Reformers, nor to the Refor
mers who bet themselves up in the ranks of
our opponents. We have Jived a happy
political life without yielding to the behests
of either in the past, and we believe the
Republicans intend so to live in the future.
A Strange case, somewhat resembling
that of Dr. West, of Dover, has recently
come to light. Some weeks ago a mau
was murdered in Chester county, this
State. The crime was not discovered for
some time, and the person last seen in
the company of the deceased had escap
ed. Roth were straDgers in the neigh
borhood, but following the clue closely,
the detectives arrested a man named Ud-
derzook in Baltimore. After the arrest
it was discovered that the remains were
those of a man named Goss, who had been
supposed to have been dead for two years.
Goss had his life insured for 525,000,
aud be was supposed to have been blown
up in a lonely out house. The Insurance
oanies were sued, and the courts de
ciaea tI must a wiJ
There was sou.;:,! j:t lU . A

tion of two miles of tunnel for an under
ground railroad. Except the Jloosac,
the tunnel is the largest iu this country.
The work was begun June 1, 1871, and
extends under thirteen streets and
aveoues. Four railroad companies use
the tunnel, and its cost is about 5,000.-W0.
IlEFKEsnixa showers visited this section
of country for several days successively,
since our last.
Pittween three and four hundred new
dwelling houses are in process of erection at
Phillipsburg, N. J.
The rain storm of Saturday night gave
the "Mountaineers" tenting in Carr s woods
a gentle moistening, their tent leaked like a
riddle but they would not give it vp.
A tfttt.r. received bv one of the members
of the "Mountain Club" concludes with the
following brillant poetic out burst.

County, on the 1G and 17, of next month.
Church Dedication. Wcare requested
to announce that the Chestnuthill New
Church, situated near Gilbert's post office,
this county, and which is rapidly approach
ing completion, will be dedicated to th
service of Almighty God, on Saturday and
Sunday, the 10th and 17th of August next.
Ministers from abroad, and the public
generally, arc cordially invited to participate
in the exercises.
The Grand Ixdgc of K. of P., held their
session during last week in Rrenhciscr's Hall
Reading, Pa. There were some 4U0 rcpre
sentatives present, sixty Past Chancellors
received the G. R. Degree. The principa
business of the week consisted in the revision
of the Constitution. The discussions were
carrcd on in the true Damon and Pythias
spirit. G. D. C, Wm. McMulIen, presided
P. C, II. S. Wolfe, represented this dist
trict.
Severe Accident. Mrs. Rrewcr,
widow lady, some sixty years of age, while
engaged iu helping her son to load hay, fel
from the wagon, on Friday last, and broke
her right arm in two places. Dr. Jaksor
was called to the case and it is a pleasure to
kuow that she is getting along as comfortable
as can bo expected. The old lady has alway
been in the habit of assistiug in the hayingand
harvesting, aud appeared to feel that she was
in her proper place when the accident hap
pened. ..
We were presented, on Sunday last, by S.
L. Drake, Esqr., of Stroud township, with
a splendid apple, of his own riising and
keeping, as a memento of another return of
his birth dav. Not being of an inquisitive
turn, we did not learn his age, though we
did find out that, as his years go higher and
higher in the figures, he loses none of those
genial qualities which go to make up the kind
neighbor and high toned christian gentleman
and friend. We have eaten many a birth
day apple with him in the past, may we live
to eat many more birth day apples with him
in the future.
The crops of all kinds in this section are
all proving, as they are harvested much more
than an average. We have heard a number
of farmers declare that better wheat and rye
crops were never harvested in Monroe coun
ty. The oats crop, which a month ago was
looked upon as a failure, has picked up
amazingly, and though the straw is short,
we are assured that a good crop of the grain
will reward the husband mans labors.
Potatoes are turning out both excellent in
quality and abundant in quantity, while the
growing corn gives promise of more than a
full crop of that valuable cereal. The hay
crop is not so large as it might have been,
but it turns out a great improvement both
in quality and quantity over what it has been
for several years back. Taking the crops,
all iu all, we have abundant reason to be
thankful for what has been vouchsafed in
return for labor expended.
Two parties, the one exclusively maidens,
and the other composed of young ladies and
gentlemen, left town on Thursday last for a
days sojourn at the Lake, near Saylorsburg.
Among' the pleasures not anticipated was
thorough drenching generously bestowed up
on them bv a soaking rain storm. After an
agreeable walk of a mile, through the storm,
both parties reached the Hotel at Saylors
burg, where mine host Mr. Isaac Iteph,
and family were indefatigable in their efforts
to make the almost drowned ones comfort
able. The piriics reached home about ten
o'clock on Thursday evening, with clothing
somewhat soiled, but, otherwise, not any the
worse for the wetting.
' Another party which left town by the 0:20
A. M., train for a days pic-nicking at the
Water Gap, were compelled to accept among
the pleasures of the trip not expected, by
far the heaviest rainstorm of the season.
The rain literally poured down.
Ox Friday morning last, Mr. Aaron Shupp,
residing in Chestnuthill township, near Gil
berts P. O., in this County, who left home
for the purpose of gathering whortleberries,
on the mountain back of Merwine's, was
found dead in the woods, on Saturday last.
Our informant says : parties engaged
picking berries in the neighborhood, on
Friday, discovered a man laying in the brush,
some distance from them, but supposing that
it was somebody under the influence of
liquor, paid no attention to him. On their
return from the woods, they reported the
facts of the discovery, which aroused the
suspicions of those thus informed. On
Saturdry search was instituted, when the
dy was found, which proved to be that of
Mr fchapo wUo had apparently just breathed
his last. The exercise of a little humauity,
m this instance, might have twyed a life!'
Even a drunken man is worthy of somellule
consideration, when fouud in the woods,
away from human habitation. There . is no
reason, however, to believe that Mr. Shupps
death was caused by intoxication.
In publishing the account of Angil Murray
in last week's paper, the name of John Gun
saules is mentioned as that of the person who
stole the money. This is not John Gunsaules,
formerly of Middle Sraithfield township, in
this County, and brother of our young friend
and townsman, Wm. Gunsaules, but another
person altogether. We mention this fact in
order to correct an erroneous impression which
was gaining ground here.

Hard on Physicians. 31r. Wilbur F.
Storey of The Chicago Times is a plucky
man, and not averse, withal, to a thing that
makes a stir. He takes hold of the physi
cian under whose care his wife died, after
this energetic fashion :
I believe it to be my duty, in connection
with a recent event, to make a public state
mcnt iu the interests of human life. I am
impressed with the conviction, and have not
a particle ot doubt that the death which oc
currcu in uiv family six months ago came o
the gross recklessness, carelessness, and nog
lect ol the attending physician, 11. A. John
son. I make this paiuful revelation not
hastily or without consideration, in the sole
desire to guard others against a like sad ex
penence.
It isn't a pleasant sort of fight; but there
can be no doubt that Mr. Storey believes
what he says, and that, if his facts are right
he docs a public service in stating them.

Thursday morning, July 24th, dawned beau
tiful and bright, with flattering prospects of a
continuation of the same for at least twenty
four hours, when according to previously ar-;
ranged plans, a party composed of the Youth
and Beauty of Philadelphia and Stroudsburg,
took its departure for the classic regions of
Popononming Lake, a lovely sheet of water
one mile in length by one half mile in width,
surrounded by a beautiful green grove, and in
full view of the lively little Villiagc of Saylors
burg. Alter auelignttul drive o er lull and tnrougn
dale, our gallant knight of the ribbons set
down safely at the above named place ; where
after partaking of a sumptuous repast of Sponge
Cake, " Red Herrings" and other delicacies too
numerous to mention, all hands indulged in
a very pleasing sail around the Lake, and
returned to terrafirma laden with beautifu

chalk, which grows in great profusion on the
surface of the Lake. About this time, owing
to a misunderstanding between the " Clerk of
the Weather" and "Old Probabilities" of
Washington, D. C, a terrific simoon, accom
panied by thunder and lightning and a heavy
fog, prevailed for the space of an hour. Owing
to the unusual wetness of the aforesaid fog, the
striking similarity between man and his erea
ture Duck, were beautifully shown, the water
running down both their barks, thus forcibly
illustrating the Darwian Theorv. Thanks to
the superior navigating abilities displayed by
Capt. Williams, (net of the Steamship Atlan
tic) the distant Hotel was at last reached,
where we were kindly received by the genial
host and hostess of the aforesaid Hotel, whose
generous hospitality and true hearted sympa
thy were showed, not alone in words and deeds,
but noble ones. Ample and comfortable robes,
if not well fitting ones, were provided for the
ladies, and -cups of hot coflee furnished for all
and in a miraculously short space of time all
that before was dark and gloomy, turned as if
by magic, into ecstacy. After a generous and
ample repast, the ladies in their borrowed
plumes (Solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one of these) were assisted by their
knights into the carriage, and the merry party
stalled for their homes. Thus ending an affair,
the most pleasant and enjoyable, notwithstand
