Chapter of Accidents.
On Mouday afternoon last the mule team
of Messrs. J. & M. Yetter, of East Strouds-
ln.nr, was standing in front of the tin-shop o
Wm. S. Flory on Main street, this borough,
sind suddenly took it into their heads to have a
Dirt ie prairie liberty, and sending a rigorous
lick at the driver who attempted to seize
them by the heads, went off at a two-furty
pace to the opposite side of the street, in
front of Robert Huston's store, where they
jrot mixed up with the posts and trees,
1 n -a king the tongue, whiffle tree and a por
tion of the harness, when one of the mules
got loose and ran up centre street a short
distance, where it was caught and brought
back.
Another About 4 o'clock the same after
noon, Mr. Charles Featherman, of Hamilton
tp., who was in town on business, drove up
iu front of C. 11. Andre & Go's., store, and
during his absence, the team took fright at
something, ran up Main street to Shafer's
hotel, striking the buck-board wagon of Jacob
Stouffer, whirling that nearly around and
badly bending the axle of the buck-board.
The next objects in their way were the lamp
Vot, which was deinoli:hed, and the corner of
Judge Drolier' b fence, which was broken
down. By this time they had gained the
Hrect, up which they dashed at a furious
rate, and when near the corner of Pocono
Mieet one of the horses fell and was dragged
it chort distance, when they were caught
On Tuesday, while George Kirk was driv
ing Mr. J. II. MtCarty's horse and top car
riage to the funeral of Mr. Watson Jones,
in turning round the corner in front of
Kecnist's gunsmith shop, the carriage upset,
throwing out Kirk and Mrs. Smith, the only
occupants, injuring Mrs. Smith quite serious
ly. Kirk escaped with a few slight bruises.
The top and body of the carriage were com
pletely demolkhed. Mrs. Smith was con
veyed to her residence in an insensible condi
tion. Dr. Geo. W. Jackson attended to her
wounds and she is now slowly recovering.
On Friday last , Mr. J. Y. Sigafus and A,
J. Clements, of this place, left home on
business, and whilst on their return, when
directly in front of the cave below the Dela
ware Water Gap, driving along leisurely, the
king-bolt flew out letting the body down,
throwing Messrs Sigafus and Clements to
the ground, Mr. C. had his face and chin
i-kinned, and Mr. Sigafus was skinned about
the nose and mouth, and slightly bruised
about the back. The horses ran a short
distance, when they were caught by Mr. D.
Weidman, who sent the team back to where
the accident happened, and through the
assistance of some friends righted up mat
ters, wheti they started for home, arriving
here about 8 o'clock p. m.

portion of the burning oil on his left hand,
buruing the back part of the hand and
fingers in a fearful manner. Dr. J. II. Shull

its reputation as a first-class, live publication.
While its contents are not deep or scientific,
its pages are free from trashy sensational stories,

home to the heart. The magazine contains its
usual number of illustration?, and its general
appearance compares favorably with the high
er priced magazine. Subscription price one
dollar a year; with chromo Yosemite one dol

The Street Railway is the most general
and important public improvement that this
community can boast of. Property in general
is much enhanced in value because of it
The fare to or from the Depot was for
merly 25 cents, then 20 cents, but the Rail
way Company reduced it to 10 cents.
Freight has been delivered more promptly
than ever before and at much reduced rates.
While coal is sold at less profit, delivered in
any quantity and more promptly than ever,
and of the same or better quality.
The Company has never attempted, even,
to practice any imposition whatever on the
public, but on the contrary manifests every
desire to do every thing that is honorable and
fair. Hence the Railway is not only a con
venience and profit to this community, but
to the traveling public as well, and deserves
the kindest consideration at the hands of
both, and we doubt not will continue to re
ceive it from all fair minded and honorable
persons.
Opposition therefore, is not ouly uncalled
for, but is a moral wrong.
B. J. Van Cott, late proprietor of the
"Lackawanna House" at East Stroudsburg,
has sold out and moved to Newton, N. J.,
and will take charge of the "Anderson
House," of which he has become the proprie
tor. Mr. Van Cott, has resided in this
county, for the past three years, one of which
he spent at Kellersville and the last two
years at East Stroudsburg, during which
time he has been in the hotel business. Mr.
Van C. is a live man and knows bow to keep
a hotel as it should be kept, and we can as
sure the denizens of Newton and the public
generally, that his table will be supplied with
all the luxuries of the season, prepared in a
style to tempt the most fastidious, and
knows how to eee that every guest feels at
home and at peace with himself, "the world
and all the rest of mankind."
The Massachusetts Legislature wrestled with
the Senatorial question nearly all of last week,
without result The struggle began on Tues
day, with Judge Hoar, Mr. Dawes, Judge
Curtis and Charles Francis Adams as the chief
candidates. Dawes and Hoar exhibited nearly
equal strength among the Republican mem
bers, each receiving over eighty votes. Judge
Curtis was supported by the Democrats, and
his vote stands steadily at about 74. Mr.
Adams does not get many votes, but is in a
good position to get the ultimate Republican
strength. In this respect Gen. Ranks is his
most formidable competitor. The last ballot
for the week was taken on Saturday. It gave
Dawes 85, Hoar 75, Curtis 68, Adams 14,
Banks 7, with several scattering. Th Dawes
men profess to be confident of success, but there
is a general impression that neither Dawes nor
Hoar can be elected, and that the Democrats
in the end may name a Republican who will
be chosen.

What We heard and Saw within
I lie Week.
A few days ago we happened to hear a
. n ' . . a
conversation, or portion oi it, oeiween a
mother, with peculiar notions, and her
daughter, a "gushing maiden" of sixteen.
It was on the subject of fitting a dress, lhe
mother insisting upon a low neck and the
daughter objecting. The fair "beauty una
dorned," opened the discussion by saying,
Ma, don't you think this dress is very low
in the neck?" ''not at all," replied the
mother. "But ma, why need I have it so
ow? Miss. , covers her shoulders and
she is such a nice girl." "Well, my dear,
Miss. , ha3 her dress made to cover
the freckles. Then she has no bust at all
It would be a pretty sight, indeed, for her
to dress like you." "But ma," she . said,
'it leaves my shoulders so bare, and here m
'ront I am afraid the gentlemen will look.
"Woll mv Hp.nr. T am ashamed of you. If
a gentleman looks at your nose are you to
put a patch over it? Don t your mother
now what is proper?" At this juncture the
conversation was interrupted by some one
entering the room and the pretty little story
was spoiled. We enjoyed it very much and
think the ''blushing maiden had the best ot
the argument However, we will wait and
see whether the dress was made in accord
ancfl with the mothers notions. Cast iron
