We are indebted to Senator Bowland, Keprcscntative Ivistler, Governor Ilartranft, Auditor General Allen, Aljutant General Latta, an J the Fi.sh Commissioners of Penn sylvania fur valuable public documents. Our ''promising'' young gentlemen have a -wonderful capacity for "balloon juice." ome of our young ladies, after finishing baking Sunday mornings, should not forget to dust the flour o.T their faces before goiug to church. Sl.'XDAV and Monday were good old fash ioned winter days. On Tuesday the weather moderated some, and we had a little spirt of '"the beautiful," but not enough to le useful'. TiiEiu: is a rumor of a pigeon shoot to come off on the Fair Ground, on the 14th of February, between a Stroudsburg and a Seranton sport, for a purse of $20. A good time is expected. Last Monday and Tuesday evening's street fights were indulged in quite freely by some of the "Hoods" of our "burgh." This harmless amusement should be stopped. 'Where is our Constable? TuEASLiu:it Altemose has appointed John S. Fisher, Esq., of our borough Deputy to act in his absence. A better selection could not have been made. Squire Fisher has acted in that capacity before, and gave universal satisfaction. Dciuxa a rcceut fi.-hing excursion to twelve luile Fond, Harry S. Wolf musical Hairy caught a pick era! which measured twenty live inches in length, and weighed nearly six pounds. It was a monster fish, and looked very mammoth among the many others he caught Mil Ciiari.es IHsh writes us from Hamilton county, Nebraska, under date of the loth hist., that "Mrs. Sarah Ann Bu.h, who was reported captured by the Indians, recently regained her liberty and is again a member of our family circle." Her friends hereabouts will be glad to hear the news. Accident. Richard Depue, of this place had the end of his thumb mashed in one of the force pumps at the Tanite Corupny's works, on Tuesday. He was fixing some thing about the pump but was not quLk enough in drawing his thumb back. The nail and tip of the thumb was taken off MUOOtll. Donation' Visit. The congregation and friends of the M. E. Church of Middle Smithfiehl, intend giving the Rev. E. 3 1 each a ni a donation visit at the parsonage, t.y the brick church) on Wednesday after noon and evening, February 4th, 1S74. All are invited ; if stormy, the next fair clay. By order of Ofkicial Board. Skating. Last Tuesday was a galla day at the " Flower Garden." All the beauty sind elite of Stroudsburg and the village over the stream, were there on skates skim ming over the glassy surface like fairies. The thaw soon put an end to their sport, causing the slippery friend of the skatist to Vanish like a ureuul. The annual meetiug of the Monroe County Teachers' Institute, commenced on Monday last, and is now in progress. The proceed ings are very interesting, and give promise of securing a great amount of good in an educa tionalway. The Rev. A. II. Horn, delivered very interesting, entertaining and able ad dresses oa Tuesday and last evenings. We will endeavor to give the proceedings of the Institute in our next week's paper. "Stickem" is around again in the fish trade, as larpje as life and twice as natural. His rtock on Tuesday, embracing halibut, haddock, flounder., sciscos and smelts, was the finest we ever saw in Stroudsburg, and as he sold them on the principle that ''the nimble sixpence is better than the .slow shilling," everybody had an opportunity to enjoy a real luxury. ".Stickem" is a genuine specimen of the "irre pressible," and it matters not what "woes betide him," he is up and around again, bound to meet the wants of all, whether in a watch trade, a horse trade, or a fish trade. Should rou want anything in his line reader, why just see ".Stickem," and you can have it. To Ilouesdnlc ni;l Slac k. We arc a believer in the" doctrine : that it is a good thing, once and a while, to take a trip iround among your neighbors, Ac-tins on this belief, we, on Tuesday of hist week, stowed ourselfiu the Milford Stage, A. E. Crook, Esq.. proprietor, and under the care of "a kind and careful driver" were soon on our winding way. The first half day of our journey was the ride to Milford, -which place we reached at-ubout halt past nine r. M , and were sonn ensconced in comfortable quarters at Cornelius's Sawkill House, where it would be altogether outrageous to look for anything else than good treatment. We were well aquainted with this portion of our road, hav ing spent a goodly portion of our boyhood days along and upon it ; and yet, at times, we almost doubted its identity. The evi dences of thrift we saw from the moment of our starting until we lauded in the centre of j l'ike county's political cahogling the im provements in farms and farm buildings the small hamlets sprung into thriving villa ges and the signs on all sides that the poverty of nearly forty years ago had given way to wealth and prosperity, all conspired to "make us believe' that we were traveling through a country new to us. The hallucina tion would have been perfect had it not been for the old land marks, which would every now and then stare at us with all the assur ance of old friends. We would like to notice the thriving villa ges of Bushkill and Dingman's Ferry ft bngth but both time and space presses; and we will have to leave them slide, with the as surance that if they arc growing in grace as they are in proportions and thrift, they will neither of them meet the fate of Sodom ei ther spiritually or physically. Milford, which now er.jo.vui" a muddle over her Court House, and the excitement attending the labors cf her many aspirants to try a hand at Legislation, has made marked improvement within the last few years. Her dingy dog kennells of houses, have in many instances given way to fine and almost palatial residen ces. 1 he location ot the town was always first class the situation being a neat plateau some mile and a half in length by three quarters of a mile in width, at an elevation of some forty feet above the Delaware, which skirts its northeastern boundary. A few years ago it began to attract city visitors; first singly and then in pairs, untilnow it has become a place of summer resort second to no mere inland town on the continent. Many years ago, N. P. Willis rendered many of its grand and romantic surroundings mem orable both in prose and verse, and the testi mony of all who visit it is a unit as to its being a most delightful 'lace. To ourself who had not visited it for some years the town brought rejoicing for its thrift and gladness over its more" than probable future, but sadness over the memory of its departed would creep in, the Dimmicks, the Haggertys', the La forges, of the older times, and the Samuels', the Dominie Smiths', the Motts', the Dames' and the Cornelius', of these later days whom we used to greet upon its streets, but whose bodies now lie mouldering in their graves. Rut we tarry too long. On Wednesday morning, after having been excellently well cared for by mine host of the Sawkill, we again took the Stagehand in a couple of hours, after a very pleasant ride, reached the village of Port Jervis, Oranse county, Xew York. The shortness of our stay here prevented our giving more than a passing look at this important station on the i. 1. & E. It. L. irom what we saw, however, we are satisfied that a week misht be profitably spent in looking into the great causes winch conspire to make tin? a place of more than ordinary prosperity. At this point we took the cars, via Shehjla, Lacka- waxen vc. for lloncsd.de. lhe making : the road along the Delaware, all the way to Lackawaxen, was a most gigantic undertak ing. At many points men had to be let down in baskets and held with ropes until a foot hoid was blasted into the sides ot the precini tous rocks for them to stand upon but the result has been a road bed unsurpassed for solidity. The ride along this section is mag nificently grand, though one grows a little soueamish as, occasionally, on looking out of the car window ycu see no ground for th car to run upon ; nothing but occasional fields, houses looking about the size of hen coops and the nvcr there a hundred leet or more below you. At Lackawaxen, where we were detained a short time, we had an opportunity of view ing the noble Aequeduct erected by the Del fc Hudson Canal Company to carry their boats across the Delaware river. The Acque duct, which is huns with cables of wire, i: some feet above high water mark au i was built by the celebrated mechanical engineer, Roebling. It has a capacity for bo its of 140 tons burden an ) has beer, in use a number of years. The town is a very thrifty place, an judging from what we saw mu.-t be a place ot deposit tor the many blue stone quarries in the neighborhood, preparatory to their shipment to New York, ilcc. At this point we took the car s on the Jefferson Uranch. 1. & E. K.

A ledge of rocks to the east of the centre of the town was nanici "Irving Cliff," in honor of the distimruishei author, and he in turn, in remembrance of a lovely, romantic v'alrc of ten enjoyed by him while in England, named the leal embowcre road which skirts the eastern banks of the Lackawaxen and Dyberry rivers, and form the base of the hill crowned by Irving Cliff", "Lady wood I sine." Stem, unrelenting im provements however, have wiped out the green sward which carpeted the lane and the romance which attached to it, and but little now remains to make it anything but the "Old Dinsriuan's Choice Turnpike," save the beautiful city of the dead, "Dyberry Cemetery," which bounds its upper end. The public buildings, (with the exception of the churches which are elegant,) like our own, are nothing to brag of, but like us they talk of building new ones. The town Ixmsts of two first class papers the Jf.ralJ and Citizen, both worthy the liberal support they receive. We regret that our engagements did not permit us to meet either of the Edi tors. Iloncsdale is truly a town of beaut)', and if the cleverness, sociability and hospi tality of its inhabitants are a triterian to judge from, it must prove t ) them a joy for ever. Here we placed enrscif in charge of our oil mend Uob. of the Kiple House, aud if we were not well taken care of, we are free to confess that we have not the least idea as to what being well taken care of means. And we would here say, (parenthieally.) that if any of our .Monroe people have oa-aiou to and that was that it was the best lecture on any subject ever delivered in Hawley. At the close of the lecture we took up our re turn to Honcsdale, and here we proved the capacity of Wayne county horse-flesh, for it took us just one hour and ten minutes to pass over the ten miles intervening between the two places. Brother Iviplc having pro vided for us we slept soundly after our turn. On Friday morning wo journeyed with Brother Nicholson to Pleasant Mount, a neat little hamlet on the hills once an im portant station on the main stage route lead ing from Cat-kill on the Hudson to Ping hampton and the southern tier of New York counties, but now a neat, thriving country village merely. Here we assisted in the dedication of a new and very neatly finished and appointed hall, and here, with many regrets, we parted with our uistinguisrcd brother, he to pursue his visit to the lodges through northeastern Pennsylvania, and we to turn our face homeward. We could not leave this uleasant village without, feelings of regret that here lies buried, in the midst oi its prosperous people, Mr. Samuel Meredith, one of the earlier secretaries of the Uuited States Treasury, without a stone, and scarce a mound to mark his eternal restiiig place. Thc honorable dead should receive more bril liant tokens of respect than this from the prosperous liberty enjoying living. In passing to and from Honcsdale to Pleasant Mount, we rode through the once noted town of Bethany; once Wayne's county seat, but now a quiet village having hanging around it by far too many evidences of dilapidation. Here in the olden time was measured out the measure of justice to the delinquent, and here too was concocted the political hash upon which stalwart Demo crats of "ye olden time" used to feast and fatten. The "Bethany Junto," was a power in the land in those days, and aspirations perfected or drooped as its arbitrary behests decreed. But the Junto died with the death of its members, and but few remem ber even the names of those who composed it. But Bethany had another power, a power of talent, and more than one bright intellect which illumines the atmosphere of law, politics and literature in other places had its birthplace and first seintilatcd here. David Wilmot and Henry M. Fuller, dead, and Chief Justice George W. Woodward and E. S. C. Judson, alias "Ned Buntline," living, are but types aud a tithe of those whom the village has sent forth. It was also the scene of the Hon. N. B. Eldrcd's early triumphs and of his death. After another good nights rest we, at 7 o'clock, on Saturday morning took stage for home ; on the way passing the thriving villages of Pro mp ton and Waymart, and thence throush ltoach's Gap, on the Moosic Mountain, where the turnpike and the 1). v II. (Jo's gravity road run side by side, to Carbondale, the scene of the first successful efforts of the Company to mine coal. Here wo found quite a city, but everything dull now, because of the stoppage of work in the mines, and this growing out of a sort of a Patroon war between the men and the Com pany over the title of the former to their homesteads. Our stay here was limited to the mere passage from the stage to the cars, and soon we were steaming by Archibald, Dickson, Providence and other coal towns, the names of which we did not learn, to Scran- ton, that youthful city ot great growth creat manufactories, creat prosperity, am a still greater future, where we arrived attractive edifice, with its neat spire, and REGISTER'S NOTICE, j Notice is hereby given to all person?

In fact hia liberality ha.s been unbounded in furthering the interests of its citizens who have appealed to him for assistance. We should have thought that in stead of trying to injure him the Democrat would have endeavored to vindicate, or at least waited until they had a positive proof of what they assert. So far they have none ; for the Judiciary Committee at Washington, have as yet, neither rendered a decision either for or against mm. au me comments 01 ine press have either been conjecture or partizan animosity, and to attest to that fact, you have only to refer to thc recent developments for Chief Justiceship, we refer to Attorney-General Williams and Caleb Cushing's cases. Col. Norton, like all political aspirants, had to have his character assailed in order to satisfy a political opponents ambition. And now we should say to the Democrat, do not stoop to assailing your most worthy citizens.
