Ict cis begin at Once.
The board of Managers of the Monroe
County Agricultural Society having decided
upon holding a fair this fall, we should set
about the work of making it a complete suc
cess at once. There is hardly a man, woman
or child in the county but who can do
something in this direction, and all should
take pride in doing a full share. We are
satisfied that we draw nothing on the imagi
nation when we say that the officers of the
society are determined that nothing they can
do will be left undone to make this and
future fairs of the society a means of secur
ing the advancement of our Agricultural in
terests, and the opening up of the road to a
htate of farming perfection hardly even
thought of by our tillers of the soil. To this
end they have arranged a most liberal prem
ium list and an order of business which cannot
fail to have a salutary effect in wiping out
the evils which have hitherto been a cause
of offense and complaint. There has been,
we admit, cause for a great portion of the
fault finding which followed each fair iu the
past, but the determination, founded on ex
perience, which now influences the action of
the Managers, to throw every possible safe
guard around everything connected with the
care of the product of exhibitors, the award
ing of premiums, and the general manage
ment of the fairs, must result in giving satis
faction to all. We hope, therefore, that all
recollections of the evils of tlie past will be
buried in oblivion, and that all will go to
work determined to make September's exhi
bit ion a matter worthy to be proud of, and an
tifort that will draw from spectators opinions
that will prove honorable to our skill as hus
baiidmcii, as mechanics and as housewives.
There is no earthly reason why we, in our
fairs, should be so much farther behind our
neighbors than our Agricultural condition
warrants, and it is ou)y because we are so be
hind that more liberal premiums are not of
fered by our managers. We have but to
exert ourselves measurably with them, to
draw fully as large and delighted audiences
as those which contribute to the success of
the Wayne, Lehigh, Bucks and Luzerne
County Agricultural Socities, and to secure
to contributors just as liberal pay. Our far
mers should now begin to select out the best
specimens of their several crops, our stock
raisers of their horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
our fruitists of their fruits, our gardners of
their products, and our housewives of the
evidences of their handwork, determined to
have it on exhibition in its best condition to
draw attention and secure the interest of the
looker on. And we have cabinet makers,
and tinsmiths, and carpenters, and tailors,
and blacksmiths, and gunsmiths, aud wagon
makers, and clothiers, and foundrymen, and
painters, and all the other trades, and mer
chants too, all of whom should feel, what is
most emphatically the truth, that by contri
buting to the fullness and richness and at
tractiveness of the fair they are advertising
their .skill and wares at an outlay the return
for which cannot but prove a hundred fold
even in a dollar and cent point of view, leav
ing the matter of local pride out of the ques
tion. Let us try the experiment for once
this fall, and see if it does uot pay in every
sense of the word to let the outside world
have our work to judge from as to what we
really are, and what position we are entitled
to occupy in the land of skilful, busy work
ers. It always pays to do this, but in no way
does it pay so well as in an emporium of con
centrated skill, where comparison cannot fail
to point out merit. Just such an emporium
do the managers of our Agricultural Society
contemplate building up, aud if their efforts
fail it will only be because those who are really
most closely interested fail in the perfor
mance of an important duty to themselves.
We hope that our people will not allow
this reproach to rest against them.
CS" The Philadelphia Inquirer, in its
Washington correspondence, states that At
torney General Dimmiek will probably be
tendered the J udgeship of the Western Dis
trict of Pennsylvania. Judge McCandless,
it is said, will soou retire on account of fail
ing health. The people of this State would
be sorry to sec Mr. Dimmiek retire from the
office he now holds, and which lie has filled
so acceptably.
There will be a general agreement with
what the Wayne county Herald (Deui.) says
about Mr. Dim mick's retirement from the
Attorney Geueralship iu the above. Men of
all parties agree that the office has never been
better, and seldom so well filled as it is now.
It is true we need good judges as well as a
good Attorney General, but experience teach
es us that it is easier to fiil the former office
satisfactorily than the latter. A wrong in
flicted by the bench may be remedied by ap
peal, but cases are not iofrequeut in which
good has been prevented because of aa opin
ion ventured by an incompetent Attorney
General but who, nevertheless, has influ
ence with the powers that be. Mr. Dim
miek has proven just the man for the position
to which Gov. Hartranft called him, and we
would like to see him hold on to it.
E3?m It is said that our old Democratic
friend Wm. M. Mutchler has the inside track,
in old mother Northampton, for the Congres
sional honors this fall. Well, William has
done dirty work enough to entitle Lim to
almost anything his party may have to give
him, and it is probably no more than right
that he should meet his reward. But it
must be a gaulder to the old lady to know
and feel that her days of dictation have gone
from her. She certainly left homo when her
lines were cast in with Lehigh and Bucks
county. We pity her, but we can't help her.
Nor would we if we could for " the old
woman" was always an exacting mother.
3T"The Hon. Henry Boss of Bucks coun
ty was iu town on Saturday. Mr. R. is the
grand ton of the lion. John Ross, whose re
mains lie hurried in the cemetery at Ross
Common in this count', and is the favorite
of the Democracy of this section of the State
for the vacant position on the Supreme
Bench. He is a thorough jurist, a gentle
man of talent and education, and an honest
man, and his party would honor themselves
in chosing him for the position, instead of
one of the party hacks who is more than like
ly to be the successful man.
SSTDaniel Neiman, of the Easton Sentinel
is recommended to the Democratic Conven
tion for nomination to the office of Auditor
General. Dan is a very clever fellow, and
modest with all, and makes a very good Demo
cratic Editor, but, laws bless us, he would be
no where iu the Auditor Generals office. The
array of figures in that establishment would
swamp him. As there would be no chance
of his election, we would just as soon the
Democracy Mould tickle his fancy with the
compliment of a nomination as not.
JCsSJ The Milford Herald announces that
Wm. II. Dimmiek, of Legislative bank
swindle notoriety, is a candidate for the Presi
dent Judgeship of the 22d Judicial District,
composed of Wayne and Pike counties. We
hope the Republicans of the district have not
thought of taking stock in that venture. One
investment in the Dimmiek should serve for
a century.
SF" The recent elections in Tennessee,
Kentucky and North Carolina, are noted
more for their riots, bloodshed and Demo
cratic majorities than for anything else. The
Republicans 2nd nothing to brag of in cither
of them.
Don't forget the Beethoven Concert to
night, at the Court House.
Fuan'K Baowx had a valuable cow killed
by a passing coal train on Thursday last
o .
The corn crops and the late potato crops
of this county have never looked better than
they do this year.
Services in St. Mathew's Catholic church
at East Stroudsburg on Sunday next com
mencing at 10 o'clock, a. m.
The Beethoven boys are practising for
their concerts. The consequence will be an
excellent treat in the musical line.
Beautiful days were Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday last. The last named day
proved particularly charming to our city
friends, who were out in great force.
The Camp meeting at Durfec's Island
commences on Tuesday next, and will con
tinue ten days. Ample provision has been
made for the accommodation of visitors.
The Monroe Council of Grangers met at
the Court House, in this borough, on Satur
last notwithstanding the heavy rain, A
goodly number of the brethren were in at
tendance. The Methodist congregation " have been
putting up iron braces to hold the ornaments
on the church steeple. The blowing off of
one of the pinacles last last summer showed
the necessity for this.
The Union pic-nic of the Presbyterian
Sabbath Schools of Stroudsburg and East
Stroudsburg, on Starbirds Island, on Thurs
day last was well attended and proved a very
pleasant affair.
The Stroudsburg Building and Loan As
sociation sold $700.00 Friday last, at a prem
ium of 32 per ceut. Better for the Associa
tion than for those who borrow the money
by long odds.
Communion services will be held at the
East Stroudsburg M. E. Church on Sabbath
evening next, commencing at the usual hour.
The Rev. John F. Chaplain, D. D., of
Stroudsburg will officiate on the occasion.
Our Tom Collins B. B. boys are fairly
rusting for foeman worthy of their bats. It
is said, however, that they are to have ashy
on Saturday afternoon next, when they pro
pose to take the starch out of the Typo's of
Scranton.
Picnicinq is now the order of the day. A
cosey looking little one went to tke "Lake on
Tuesday." O. G. brought up the rear look
ing smiling as a cat with her teeth stuck full
of molasses candy. A very pleasant party it
was and a very pleasant time was had.
We saw the Rev. Mr. Kohler enjoying a
street car ride to the Depot on Monday. The
many friends of the Rev. gentlemen both
here and elsewhere will be pleased to hear
this evidence of his steady recovery from his
recent severe hurts.
Boys, among the premiums to be offered
at the fair are one of $5 for the best runner
in a foot race, and another of $5 for the suc
cessful contestant in a wheel-barrow race
All the contestants in the last race to be blind
folded. Begin your practising now.
Personal. Lt. John M. Walton, U. S
A., son of the Hon. J. II. Walton, has been
spending several days with his friends in this
neighborhood. The Lt. graced our office
with his presence and afforded us the oppor
tunity for a genial chat over both the old
times and the new.
A GLORIOUS rain was that of Saturday
last Our creeks and smaller streams need
ed it badly, and our out-standing crops were
none the worse for it.
Surgical Operation. On Tuesday last
Dr. Geo. W. Jackson assisted by his student
A. Lewis Kirk huff, removed from the upper
jaw of Mrs. Wm. Fleming, a Cystic Tumor,
measuring 1 inch in depth, 1J inches in
length aud 1 iuch in thickness. She is now
doing well.
Our borough and county is well filled with
summer visitors, among whom we are pleased
to notice a number of familiar faces of for
mer seasons. We noticed on Saturday the
arrival of Capt, James Miles of the Modocs,
whose appearance on the street always brings
smiles to the many friends he has made in
this section.
Goldsmith's 3Iaid, in a trot at Buffalo,
on Friday last, reached the unprecedented
speed of one mile in two minutes and fifteen
and half seconds. If any of our Monroe
county nags expect to beat that time at our
fair this fall, it is time they were beginning
their practisings.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment in this week's paper headed " Roofing
Slate." Mr. Drake, the advertiser, is a
gentleman of large experience in the roofing
business, and his reputation is that of a reli
able business man. Persons needing slate or
lighting rods will always find him prompt
and square in all his dealings. Mr. D. has
business connection with the best quarries in
the country.
Mr. O. B. Gordon, has occupied the
Bark street school, as a teacher, with accep
tance to the School Directors and parents,
and with intellectual profit to the pupils, for
a period of nearly twelve years with but lit
tle interruption. He first taught a conse
cutivc term of seven years and has now been
on a second term for nearly five years. We
doubt if any other teacher in the county has
taught so long a time in the same building
and district.
A number of the young lady and gentlemen
friends of Mr. Vick Lowery, of Newark, N. J.,
a former resident of Stroudsburg, took him in
custody on Tuesday and toted him to the Lake,
where all the horrors of a first clas3 pic-nic
were inflicted upon him. The punishment
wa3 Fevere, but the prisoner, in the hardness
of his heart, e ntered into the eatings, drinkings
and singing and dancing and boating and flirt
ing and the good time generally as though he
really liked it. All hands including the
prisoner returned home at an early hour in the
night satisfied that a day of pic-nicing at the
Lake furnishes pleasurable food for reflection
for a long time to come.
Don't forget that the grand concerts by
the Beethoven Band of Stroudsburg, this
(Thursday) and to-morrow (Friday) even
ings. The programme, which embraces both
vocal and instrumental music, is rich in good
things and will well repay an investment in
tickets for your self and lady, reader, or
yourself alone. The young gentlemen com
posing the band have been to a heavy ex
pense in procuring instruments and instruc
tion and as this is their first call for aid, for
which owing to their proficiency they are
enabled to return full value in excellent music
the Court House should be crowded both
nights. Turn out, one and all, and give
them a bumper.
The Right Rev. William O'llarra, Bishop
of the diocese of Scranton, assisted by the
Rev. Fathers Dume and Hurst, administered
the ordinance of confirmation in the St
Mattheu's Catholic Church, at East Strouds
burg ou Sunday morning last The very in
teresting ceremony was witnessed by a large
number of citizens members of all the differ
ent denominations hereabouts. Bishop
O'Harra's sermon on the occasion, was
talented, eloquent and impressive, and pre
sented the rite of Confirmation in a light sel
dom thought of even by those participating
in it About thirty persons were added to
the church.
There is something so sensible in
this article, which we find going the
rounds of our exchanges, that we can
not avoid clipping it for the benefit
of our readers. If its advice is heeded it
may save much mortification. " If you will
present a check without introduction at a
bauk where you are not known, do not get
heated when the teller declines to cash it, or
ask him whether you look more like a thief
than a gentleman. Instead of bothering him
with a conundrum, applaud his caution and
regret your indiscretion. Napoleon promo
ted a picket guard who declined to accept
his assurance that he was the veritable terror
of Europe, and who added pleasantly that
he would shoot him if he attempted to ad
vance without the countersign ; and why
should not the guard behind a bank counter
demand the countersign as well? "
Our borough fathers at their last meeting
adopted as the basis of the tax assessments
for the present year the following rates
ordinary tax 5 mills on the dollar of valua
tion, special tax 10 mills, fire tax 10 mills,
bounty tax 20 mills. This will afford a yield
if promptly collected, of
Ordinary Tax $ 872 55
Fire Tax 1743 04
Special Borough Tax 1743 04
Bounty Tax 3362 03
Dog Tax 76 00
Total $ 7796 71
A large sum to be collected truly, but a sum
rendered necessary by the floods and the pro
tection of our property from fire. The de
mand of the tax collector, when he calls,
should be met promptly and cheerfully. If
this be done a much better calculation can
be made as to what can be done by way of
improvements on the streets and of the
amount of reduction on the borough, debt
that can be secured.
Improvements. M. M. Burnett, has a
verv neat and convenient residence in pro
cess of erection, on his fine lot on Center
street
Stroud Burson, is also treating himself to
fine home on the same street The build
ing will be a decided improvement to that
portion of the town.
Silas Drake's building on Academy hill is
rapidly assuming inhabitable shape, as are a
number of others, including George L.
Dreher's neat two story brick on Sarah St
in East Stroudsburg the march of im
provement is also onward.
George E. Stauffer is pushing his hand
some brick residence as rapidly as is consis
tent with substantiability and elegance of
finish.
Stephen Kistlcr is improving the property
purchased of Mr. Jacob Butts, a short dis
tance above the foundry. He has culverted
the run which has its course through the lot,
and is erecting a handsome double frame
tenement house on the same.
There are other buildings talked of and
going up in both boroughs, of which we will
make mention hereafter.
Our Home Industries.
A call at the machine shop of our towns
man, Mr. G. Sanford, on Monday revealed
to us the fact, that business in his line
has taken quite a start in the right direction.
We found all hands busy at work in building
machinery of various kiuds to fill orders, and
the gentlemanly proprietor, as usual, on
hand with his cheerful readiness to interest
us by explaining the uses to which the
machinery already finished and in course of
building was to be applied. Among other
machines on hand we found several comple
ted mosspickers built to fill an order from
New Orleans, and others in course of comple
tion. A lot of work was also being made
ready for the new emery wheel works at
Wcissport, in which, Mcssers Marsh & But
terfield, formerly connected with the Tanite
company, have large interests. A wheel and
its working, manufactured by the Wcissport
company, was also exhibited to us, and we
must confess that both wheel and work ap
peared to us about as perfect as can be. An
hour in this establishment is alwa-s an inter
esting hour to us, and we often avail our
selves of a time of leisure to enjoy it.
On the same round we for the first time
in several years dropped into the Merrit
Tannery, but a few step3 from the Sanford
works. Here we found a new business in the
leather line, progressing with an energy
which indicated that the few months since it
was established has changed it from an ex
periment to a complete success. In this
establishment leather is taken in the rough,
split, curried, and finished, we judge from
observation alone, into the various grades of
leather for shoemaking, trunk-making, and
book-binding purposes. Some twenty men
are employed here, but all were so busy that
we did not feel like interrupting them by
asking questions. This establishment is run
by a Philadelphia firm, and employs steam
power as a motor. The manner of splitting
the leather is curious aud we will take occa
sion, at no distant day, to so post oursclf as
to treat our readers to a description of the
process.
A recent look into the foundries and ma
chine shops of Frank Landers, and George
E. Stauffer & Co., show that the good times
so long expected are certainly beginning to
dawn on this section, for when the artificers
in the stern metal, (we do not see why it
should not be called "precious") begin to be
kept busy, it may be taken as a sure sign
that a good time is coming for the countrj'.
In Mr. Landers shop the clatter of machinery
and the screeking noise of the file and turn
ing tool betokened the work that was going
on within, while the foundry floor was filled
with flasks of ordered works ready for the
liquid metal. At the Stauffer works the
same cheering state of affairs prevail, and all
looks prosperous and thrifty. We have no
doubt that the fall trade will find both these
establishments over run with orders.
At the Tanite establishment, the rush of
work has already commenced. The establish
ment is now kept running night and day to
enable the company to keep pace with the
orders which are daily received for their cx
ccllent wheels and machinery.
Wallace's door, sash and blind factory has
been considerably hindered of late by the low
state of water in the streams from whence it
draws its power. Every available moment,
however, has been employed, but uot with
the effect of enabling it to keep up with its
orders. The rains of Saturday and Saturday
night have removed this hindrance and the
works will be pushed to their full capacity
The same cause, low water, has acted as a
hindrance to our flour and woolen mills, but
these started briskly with Monday's dawn,
and like the sash factory, with full demand
for all the sash, blinds, doors, lumber, flour
and woolen goods that can be manufactured
will help hurry on the era of good times.
Kistler's Tannery, at East Stroudsburg,
now one of the largest in the State, indeed in
the union, has commenced working in to its
full capacity, and of itself is capable of sup
porting a large community. The leather
manufactured there, always of the best qual
ity, finds ready sale at the highest market
prices. The capacity of the works is about
140,000 hides per annum.
With these larger interests in full play the
effect upon mouetary affairs in this locality
cannot but prove beneficial, and we feel very
much like rejoicing over the prospects for a
brighter winter than that which rested so
gloomy over us last year. And it is not here
alone that things look bright. Our ex
changes all over the country ppeak of the
same glorious signs, as beginning to s-how
themselves in every locality, and we cannot
but feel that, avoiding the errors of the past.
the business of the future will be carried on
in a manner that will assure permanent pros
perty and consequent freedom from the
monetary pinches of the past
Stroudsburg, Acq. 10, 1874.
Mr. Editor : The last week's issue of
the "Monroe Democrat" contains an article
signed "Wayside," where in the road-
master and street Committee ot last
Stroudsburg are censured very unreasona
bly. I deem it justice to the parties
censured, that the author ot said article
should be slightly ventilated. It is palpable
to any disinterested observer, less rancorous
and malicious than Wayside, that Washing
ton street is neither, (to use his own slang)
"zig. zag nor whopper-jawed," and that no
partiality whatever, in the grading of said
street has been shown.
It has not been possible to complete the
work until the removal of the S. P. R. R
track to its proper place, as intended by
the Company.
The members of the Town Council are
personally known to mc, and their charac
ters as men of intelligence, sound judg
ment and integrity have never been qucs
tioned or doubted heretofore. Can Way
side say the same for himself? They arc
not men of aa light and airy pretensions as
Wayside, who in place of backbone as he
terms it, is possessed of a large stock of im
pudence. Our officious friend has been known
ever since he put in an appearance at East
Stroudsburg. He made his debut as a
Real Estate Agent, for which honor he
paid just 61,000. For a while he ap
peared flush with money and filled with gas.
The Livery stable man was extensivly pat
ronized, receiving, no doubt, the principal
share of his earnings. Not satisfied with
this alone he embarked in the flag-stone quar
ry business, and after digging promiscu
ously over a large extent of territory, ex
pending much, money and little bruins, he
finds himself fizzled out.
One would suppose so many failures,
rubs and snubs would have dampened his
ardor to place himself foremost, but it ap
pears he is determined not yet to be cxtin
guished, and endeavors to gain notoriety by
underating and defaming others.
Wayside has so far failed in every thing,
except in gaining fur himself the unenviable
reputation of a meddler and backbiter.
"Ah wad some power the giftie gie thee,
To sec thysel' as ithers fee thee."
Observer.
The Cigar Trade of Reading.
Some idea of the cigar trade of Reading
may be formed, from the fact that Mr.
Charles Broschkowsv, cigar manufacturer
of that city, sends to Nebraska 10,000
cigars every month.
Delegates Appointed.
At the Northampton county Republican
meeting on last Saturday, Howard J. Reed
er, A. B. Howell, Robert Peysert and
Samuel S. Brown were elected delegates to
the State Convention. Jame K. Dawes
of the Easton Free Prce, was re-elected
chairman of the County Committee.
A Kansas City special says a vigilance
committee of about one hundred men has
been formed at Wellington and other points
in Kansas for hanging horse-thieves. Three
men named Charles Brook, Bill Brook, and
Charles Smith were hanged near Wellin"
ton on July 30th, and made confessions
involving other parties.
Drummers have had a hard time of it
in Reading, lately. One of them was play
ing "Peeping Tom, of Coventry," at a
hotel there, the other night, when the chair
fell from under him, leaving him with his
head fastened in the transom. The room
into which he was spying was occupied by
a gentleman and his wife, and the former,
seizing a cow hide, rushed out and gave the
over inquisitive commercial traveler a fear
ful whipping.
The health of Stokes, the murderer of
Fisk, now confined at Sing Sing prison, is
rapidly failing. His cheeks are pale and
sunken, his once developed limbs resemble
walking-sticks. He is confined to the hos
pital on an average of three days in a
week. His attire and surroundings present
the same neat appearance, and the velvet
slippers still encase his feet. It is the feel
ing among the prison authorities that he
will not survive his term of imprisonment.
To remove mildew, make a very weak
solution of choride of lime in water about
a heaping tcaspoonful to a quart of 'water
strain it carefully, and dip the spot or
the garment into it, and if the mildew
does not disappear immediately lay it in
the sun for a few minutes, or dip it again
into the lime-water. The work is effectually
and speedily done, and the chloride of lime
neither rots the cloth not removes delicate
colors when sufficiently diluted, and the
article rinsed afterward in clear water.
