ISAA.C G. GORDON, of Jefferson County.
STATE TREASURER,
ROBERT W. MACKEY, of Allegheny.
"We have had delightful weather for a
week past, each day verifying the prognosti
cations of Old Probabilities to a dot.

Mr. Wm. Altcmosc lost a valuable Stall
ion at Camp Meeting, on Sunday. The
hrse had been driven quite hard, and the
death is supposed to have been caused by the
exhaustion consequent thereon.
The Democratic State Convention, at Wilkes
Barre, nominated Judge Ludlow, of Philadel
phia, for Judge of the Supreme Court, and F.
M. Hutchison, of Allegheny, for State Treasu
rer. The ticket will not receive votes enough
to elect it.
Three hundred and eighty-five wagons
passed Bossardsville, on Sunday last, on
their way to the Camp Meeting at the Lake
nea r Saylorsburg. As the wagons were filled
chuck full of people, some idea of the attend
ance may be formed from this data.
As Mr. Kistlcr, was returning
from Camp meeting, on Monday evening
last, accompanied by a young lady, owing to
some cause his vehicle was turned over a
bank, and he and his companion were severe
ly bruised. The lady has several teeth knock
ed out and was otherwise, but not seriously
injured. The wagon was a complete wreck,
an i the horse was instantly killed.

TSIE GLORIOUS DEMOCRACY,
Monday last was a day that will long be
held memorable in the annals of Democracy
hereabouts. For a long time back there had
been dodgings and nudgings, and winkings
and blinkings among the leaders of our Demo
cracy, aod it was evident even to the most
mystified beholder that there must be a very
large and wonderful "lien on," engaged in
the work of political incubation. The last
I week's Monroe Democrat, conscious that the
strain was too heavy for the body politic to
bear long without darngcr, came to the rescue,
and, in language terse and graphic, conde
scended to let us know what the "lien"
aforesaid was trying to do. Monroe county,
said the Democrat had for a scries of years been
slighted and insulted by Mother Northamp
ton and Sister Carbon, and that now, as the
"old woman" had been set out side the politi
cal ring, sister Monroe would assert her
rights, and would just as certainly secure
them that she intended to set up on her
own account, and that she meant to inflict
condign punishment upon Sister Carbon, by
whipping her soundly in the coming election
Ou Monday, the efforts looking this wise,
were to be inaugurated, and, of course Mon
day became a day looked lor by the curious
in such matters, with more than usua'
anxiety. Monday came, and with it came
the unterrified from the North, the South,
the East, and the West ends of the county,
with faces rendered terrible by the determina
tiou dire to strike the tcrrilfic blow. The
great Suiithfield of Democratic owcr had
Ex-lteprescntative Place and John Coolbaugh
for her champions, while Stroudsburg came
with a delegation, marshaled and generata
by no less a personage than he, who, through
the columns of the "Organ," pumps most
delectable Thunder for ihe amusement aud
instruction of the brave cohorts, who swear
by and pray to the great Democratic party
It was a grand day, and in spirit with its
grandeur was the terrible aspect which things
were made to present.
At 2 o'clock P. M. , a tap or two of the bel
announced that the work was about to com
mence, and great was the rush that was uiade
to the Court House, to see and hear what
was to be seen and heard. Carbon had
delegation on hand, and these too rushed
with the crowd. But both crowd and
Carbonites were doomed to disappointment
This was an extraordinary Convention,
with extraordinary objects in view, that was
! about to meet, and it would be degrading to
its diginity to proceed in the ordinary way
Besides it was necessary to know how the
I Cat intended to jump, or rather, whether the
, ... , , ,. , . , ,.
! uiu lien proauceu chicks, uucks, costings,

snakes or snapping turtles,- ere the brood was
presented for the consideration of the people,
Instead, therefore, of a direct assembling of
the convention the prospects must first be
submitted to a Modoc pow-wow in the lava
bed of the Jury room, or to a star chamber
inquisition. No matter about time honored
usages, and the fair and square transaction
of the business on hand, in the presence of
the people, which has ever heretofore pre
vailed, this Convention would do its own
work iu its own way, and, if need
in
tIjC SVC of oblivion.
Accordingly,
..... . nit ti i
Cal" the Delegates to secret conclave, and
outs,Jerscre to await the moye-
m.CDtS f.the lf-!UtcJ maStrS' Wlth
Wliat Thence tlicy COUJd
After about an hour had thus been spent,
iu hatching and fixing, the Court-house bell
rang out boldly, when the Delegates came
sneaking into the Court-room, and quietly
slid themselves into the seats within the bar.
The Convention was then organized by ap
pointing Ex-Ilepresentative Place, in behalf
of whose wounded honor this battle was to
be fought, Chairman, and John Coolbaugh,
. Green wald, Esq?., Secretaries. It
as evident, at this point that the work had
not proved so genial as had been expected.
Carbon's eyes were upon the Convention, and
though Chairman James and Secretary
John, old stagers in political crime, managed
to stand up to the rack, our modest friend
Amandus O was not quite equal to the
work, and hid his blushes, and terrors by set
ting with his back to the Delegates and the
I auditors. The presentation of the creden
tials of Delegates was next in order, after
which on motion of Delegate Swink of Stroud
township, William Kistlcr. of Pocono town
ship, was nominated-as candidate of the De
mocracy of Monroe, for the Legislature. It
was then proposed to make this nomination
unanimous, but emphatic no's from Smith-
field, Chestnuthill and Coolbaugh met the
proposition.
Our modest neighbor. Amandus O., who,
we ardently hoped, in view of the fact that
Congressional honors fur Monroe are
indefinitely postponed, owning to
black-republican geremandering of the
district, would be the unanimous
nominee of the Convention for Representa
tive, niade a majestic arising at this point,
and, his face suffused with blushes, proceed
ed to read a ponderous whereas and resolu
tion, grand as a concentration of glittering
generalities, but lamentably weak in ideas
and truth. Our friend must be immensely
presuming, or wofully wanting in historic-
knowledge of party doings hereabouts, when
he asserts, in view of Beardslec vs. Dimmick,
that Monroe county has never tried to over
reach anv of her sister counties, in their re
lation of Senatorial, Bepresentative or Con
gressional Districts. The truths of history
are the other way, and if Monroe is aggriev
ed now, she is only suffering because of the
precedent set by her own aggressions, and
should sing dumb. These bantlings of our
neighbor also met with emphatic nos. A
motion to adopt and embody the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic State Convention
met the same fate ; not because the delegates
voting no were not wool-dyed Democrats, but
because, seeing so much that was heterodox in
the action of the Captains of the Convention,
they had come to doubt whether it was pos-
sible that any thing Democratic could be en
compassed in any proposition these same
'captains might be inclined to submit
Mr. Secretary Coolbaugh, (we love to hear
John say things, for he tays them so modest
ly and smoothly k you know,) then offered a
resolution of encouragement for the nominee
pledging the party to support him, &c.
There was no opposition to this resolve, as
the few who had determined not to be con
taminated by the bolt had retired previous
to its presentation. After a few remarks, in
good taste, by the nominee, Mr. Kistlcr, the
Convention adinnrnod. nnd thus ended about
as comnW a fn ns wns over exhibited to!
the public.
It is probably none of our business what
Democrats choose to do with their own mat-
tcrs, or how they essay to do it, but we can
not avoid venturing the assertion, that both
the Convention and its procedings, on Mon
day, were both irregular and illegal. Usage,
based upon agreement, as the nominee be
longed to Carbon, merely required the ratifi
cation of Carbon's work by the Monroe Dem
ocratic County Committee. Acting under!
this view, doubtless, several of the townships
failed to send representatives to the Conven
tion, and of the thirty-seven Delegates pres
ent, but nineteen, by their votes, proved
themselves bolters leaving the inference ve
ry clear, that the majority of the Monroe
Democracy favor Carbon's rights, and intend
to support them.
The only redeeming feature of the .Conven
tion was the nomination of so good a man as
Mr. Kistlcr for the Legislature ; but it is la
mentable to think that so good a man would
consent to assist in fighting the battles, and
skinning the skunks, of disappointed office
hunters and jolitical hucksters. The end
thereof can only be defeat.
Improvements. His Hon. Judge Dreher
who recently purchased the Dr. Stokes pro
perty, has a large force of workmen engaged
in fitting it up for occupancy. Theimprove
ments contemplated are quite extensive, and
being handsomely located, will, when finish
ed, make as fine a residence as the town
boasts of.
Mr. Joseph Matlack is fitting up the
Judge's old residence with a view to occupy
ing it as a residence for his family.
Jesse Albert has a large force at work up
on the basement of his new residence, corner
of Franklin and Monroe streets.
Jacob Knccht's new house is progressing
finely, corner of Green and Ann streets.
Theodore F. Hallock's new residence on
Monroe street is in the hands of the plaster
ers and will soon be completed.
Jerome Featherman's extensive repairs to
his propert3r on Green street, by which he
has nearly made a new house out of the old
one, are about completed.
Thomas M. Mcllhaney has about finished
i rear addition to his. residence on Green
street.
John S. Fisher, Esq., has just finished the
job of making a new house, out of the old
one on the McDermot property on Sarah
street.
M. B. Brown, is getting the material for
a fine residence to be erected by him this fall
on the lot recently purchased by him of A.
I. Labar, corner of Buff and Green street.
M. II. Rhodes is cogitating over a plan
for a new house, which he contemplates
erecting, this fall, on the south east corner of
Franklin and Thomas streets.
Geo. W. Drake, remodeled dowelling, on
Main street down town, is fast approaching
completion. It will be a neat affair.
31 r. Thos. A. Bell has a number of work
men engaged making considerable of an ad
dition to the rear of his residence on Center
street.
The carpenters are at work fitting .up the
store room in Sheriff Marsh's new building.
When completed it will be the finest business
room iq town.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the
course of improvements in our Borough, has
been steady during the present season. Our
neighboring borough of East Stroudsburg
has not been behind as in the race of im
provements.

One of the results of the recent disas
tcr to the Chesapeake and Delaware canal
has been that the peach growers were
compelled to send their peaches to Balti
more, that being the only market within
reach. The Baltimore market was conse
quently overstocked, and on the 23d of
August the finest peaches found few buy
ers at 25 cents a box, while the inferior
kinds sold for 10 cents a box, and many
were given away on the promise to re
turn the box.

The law of demand and supply received

At last Controller Albertson. alarmed at
the financial prospect, concluded to stop

epidemic ceased in Troy.
New Oil Territory Discovered.
Titusville, Pa , August 23. A new
oil territory has been discovered four
miles southwest of this city. The Bailey
& Gilmore well, which was struck yester
day on the Ifamilton farm, has a quality
of sand rock unsurpassed bv anv other
territory in the oil region. There is every
appearance that a belt of oil has been dis
covered which will rival the lower Al
leghany district. This is the opinion of
the oldest and most experienced oil opera
tors.
Pure Iron.
Absolutely pure iron is said to have
been produced by a Bussian chemist by
means of the galvanic battery. During
the process a large quantity of hyilrogeu
was disengaged from the ordinary iron
used. The pure iron is a silver white
metal, very malleable and ductile, and so
soft as to be readily cut with a pair of
scissors, it is verv diliereut from inm
which has been hitherto supposed to be
pure. It oxidizes very rapidly, anJ water
is decomposed by it by the rapid absorp
