THURSDAY AUGUST 7, 1873.
Democratic Journals, are busy
just now, endeavoring to draw from the vasty
deep of forgetfulncss, some rays of comfort
with which to bury themselves up in the
coming campaign. Put, wherefore. They
can have no hope from the people, upon
whom their deceptions were so long prac
ticed, and which culminated so disastrously
fur the Country some twelve years ago. Nor
can they draw hope from the condition of
things since that time. They have prophe
eied all kinds of dreadful things that were to
grow out of Republican rule, but each and
every one of their dreadful things, turned
out to Ikj most brilliant for the Country, and
the nations prospcrity'and greatness have
been growing more and more everjT d:iy
TIipv s:it down firnnt ns flirt most, daring ofl
humbugs outside of his military connections,
and not much pumpkins even in them, but
he has turned out to be one of the best
Presidents we have yet had if uot the very
be.-t. and the people feel this to be so, in
their improved business, and in our improv
ed prosperity generally. They denounced
Ilartranft and Allen as very Princes of
sv. in. Hers, and ruined was our good old
Commonwealth to be if they were elected ;
but even Democratic Editors, have been con
strained to give btjtli credit for careful watch-i'uJne.-s
over the interests of the State and
people, and thus spiked their own defama
tory guns, because the glaring truth compel
led them to do so. They are now harping
about ''rings'' and "ruin" just as they have
done ever snec they endeavored to smuggle
McCWIan into the Presidency, under the
plea of Patriotism, but it won't work.
S) long as Republican Administration is
so suece&ful in making the State prosperous
iiA the people happy, just so long will the
:i.-p;rations of Democracy for a chance at the
public crib be dimmed by the eclipse of hope
deferred, and overwhelming defeat. Demo
cracy may harp about its best men, and trot
them out on the course ; but its best men in
cilice are but paste board images, set in place
t dance only as the corrupt managers, be-
hini the screen, pull the strings. Even their
organs pine only as these same managers
turn the crank. They have neither indepen
dence of thought nor action to bring into the
work. Theirs is the province only to de
nounce Republicanism without regard to
merit, and to besmear Democracy with ful
some praise, even though they know it once
tried to lead, and has only the tendency to
lead, the country and its best interests to
ruin.

Court.
A special term of Court convened at the
Court House, on Monday last, to try causes in
which Judge Dreher was concerned as counsel.
Judge Longaker, of the Noithampton and Le
high District presided, assisted by associates
De Young and (J ruvcr.
The first case tried was : ,
John Merwine vs. Kindarus Shupp and Win.
Gilbert, Administrator of Peter Gilbert, late of
Chcsnuthill township, deceased. The action
was brought to recover damages for the seizure
of a horse, wagon and lot of lumber, the first
of which was sold, seized as the property of
Wm. Custard, but which Mr. Merwine claimed
as his property. Verdict for Plaintiff for $7
54 cents and costs.
Daniel Everitt vs. Andrew Smith. Judg
ment was entered by consent of the parties for
amount of the award of Arbitrators, and inter
est to date.
On Tuesdav morning the case of Robert
Huston vs. Amos Shoemaker was taken up
and is still on trial. We will give our readers
the incidents of the trial audits termination
next week. From present indications this case
mav last for several davs.
OxE of the most noticeable improvements
made in this neighborhood, in a long while,
is that just completed by mine host VanCott,
in the great addition to his new Hotel at
East Stroudsburg. Though in business, and
with a new hotel building completed, but a
year, he has already suffered great inconven
ience forwint of room, and the result has been
an addition to his facilities for public accom
modation, of nearly double. His hotel is
now the largest in the two "burgh's," and is
finished in a stdc to make it very attractive.
In the plan of the building the comfort of
guests appears to have been the grand desid
eratum ; and every convenience that ingenu
ity could devise or money secure forms a part
aifd parcel of the Lackawanna House. The
rooms are all large and airy and elegantly
furnished, and the dining room issoarrnaged
as to accommodate a large number of guests
without danger of being crowded. Wc are
pleased to sec this evidence of success, but
as VanCott is a live landlord, a good citizen,
a clever gentleman, it is just what wc expec
ted for him. We uoticed that Mr. Secretary
Poinsett has moved his head quarters from
the Stroudsburg House to. the Lackawanna
House, where we saw him, a few evenings
ago, dispensing his excellent mixtures to a
thirsty crowd. Ned ward is a host in himself

A Karrow Escape.
As Mr. Jacob Singmastcr, of this place,
accompanied by his brother Henry, was ri
ding over Cherry Valley Hill, in a two-horse
carriage, on Thursday of last week, the hor
ses became frightened, on passing another
team, belonging to Mr. Wni. E. Henry, and,
turning short, tipped the carriage over the
Lank on the lower side of the road. Henry
Singmastcr, on the first show of fright,
sprang to the horses heads, but was unable
to hold them. The carriage, with Mr. Sing
master in it, and horses, fell to a depth of
about 5 feet, and, strange to relate, save a
few cuts to the horses, and some breakage to
the carriage, there was no damage done.
How Mr. S. escaped being killed is indeed

By the way, would it not be well for the
supervisors of Stroud township to attend to
that road, as well as the one leading to Pox
town. Both are so narrow, in places, as to
make it dangeres for wagons to pass, and the
accident to Mr. Singmastcr should be suffi
cient to admonish those having the roads in
charge, that a first class accident may mulct
the township in first class damages, as a rc
suit of their negligence.

The effort to secure the pardon of

there is little hope that the present move

to obtain a pardon for the young man.

The Danville, (III ) Times is getting
juite excited about the Farmer's move

will crush the very life out of any party,
or any politician who hinders the car of
reform ! With corn at a quarter a bush

good, but what puzzles us is to know why

comes of playing with an elephant.
A. T. Stewart's Will :
The New York Sun pays: Wealthy
men are often credited with greater rich
es ;han they possess, and frequently, al
ter diligent inquiry into their resources,
find that they have set too high a limit
to their possession. It therefore rarely
happens that a man astonishes himsell
with his own wealth : yet a little on dil
attributes a bit of this amazement to Mr
A T. Stewart. It is probably generally
known that Mr. Stewart took steamer for
Europe last week. It is not so generally
known that before his departure he made
a will. Prior to making this will it was
thought advisable to prepare a schedule
of his real and personal estate, with its
valuation. Upon the completion of the
schedule, much to the surprise of Mr.
Stewart, and to the greater surprise of
his friends, it was found that he was worth
one hundred millions of dollars. That
any American citizen should be possess
ed of so great wealth almost surpasses
belief, but the truth of the foreyroiu
statement is well authenticated.

of this world, and livo their religion
that is, polygamy or they must leave;
for I will not have them about me. I will
