TIIEO. SCIIOCH,
Pub. Jetlersonian.
A.O. GREEN WALD,
pub. Democrat.
Iter For pure unadulterated check com
mand us at all limes and under all circum
stances to the average distinguished Demo
cratic politician. Our readers, no doubt re
member the Wm. II. Dimniick, the Demo
crat pir cxaJleiice, who represented Wayne
county in the House of Representatives at
Harrisbursr during a portion of last winter,
a:; 1 who resigned his seat to save himself
fr;n I cing expelled for a diabolical attempt
to blackmail the banks of the Commonwealth.
Well William had aspirations lor the Presi
dent Judgeship, of the Pike and Wayne dis
trict, an office worth some $5,000 per annum,
a:id good for ten years to come. Honest
people a'i over the county thought the an
iioiHiceuicnt of the fact only a hoax, and
rath. t a sorry one at that. But it turned
out dilferently, and the majority of Wayne's
Democracy believing the trick in which Wil
liam got caught a cute one, and one which
proved peculiar fitness on bis part for the
politico of President Judge, and, ou the first
ballot, at their late county Convention actual
ly nominated him. At their ratification
meeting held on the evening of the Sth ult.,
the Democracy called their idol "to the fore"
and insisted on his addressing them think
ing probably that his "saying a few remarks"
luLht sathfy the few who thought as the
v. hole county will think that his nomination
was nothing short of au insult and a disgrace
i.ot o:i'y to the party but to the district and
the Judiciary. Well William proved him
?c'l tNjual to the occasion. He came for
ward sithout a blu.di, and, after clearing his
throat of a frog or two, spoke in the follow
ing dignified manner, instead of sneakiug
home ur.d hidiug his head in a bag, as he
c i tuiii!y should have done.
Mr. President, Gentleman, and Fellow
( i;izci;3 Not being at the Convention last
right I come here in person to ratify the
j rucocdir.jrs myself. I do not exjHjct, dur
iiji; the canvas, to make any political
fpt-eches. I expect and am determined to
t..ko my position upon the ticket nominated
;:- judge of thi3 Judicial District, and stand
r fail with it. And, as I said before, I
do not propose to go through the county
:p.d rnir politics with the Judiciary of this
district. If elected I shall endeavor to
s rve you with the best of my ability. The
nest speech I presume I shall make will
be in a judical capacity as the judge of this
o '.strict.
If that was not displaying the very quin
t esse nee of cheek, we are at a loss to under
.-tand just what that commodity is. Rut
then it was Democracy and that, in Wayne
county as well as elsewhere, covereth a
multitude of sin.
Siuion Fried received the first premium
on hoots and shoes at our county fair last
week.
.Simon Fried received the first premium
on trunks and valises at our county fair last
week.
Simon Fried received the first premium
on ladies', gents' and childrens' furs at our
county fair last week.
We give up the best portion of this week's
paper to Agricultural matters. Nor do we
feel that an excuse is necessary for so doing.
A number of the young bloods of our
borough were oa a regular rampage on Fri
day night last. Better join the Y. 31. C. A
and be good.
Simon Fried has the largest and best selec
ted stock of ready-made clothing in Monroe
count- he sells cheaper than any other mer
chant in our county. Call, examine aud con
vince yourselves.
Our neighbor had nothing in which he
was particularly interested If i his paper last
week. The bowlings of other Democratic
Editors over the troubles in Lousiana was
the best he could afford to give his readers.
Tax-payers of Stroudsburg must remem
ber that if they wish to have a deduction of
5 per cnt on their Borough tax, they must

Robert W. Swink, Esqr.., of Stroud
township, presented us an apple which
weighed thirteen ounces. This is the largest
and finest looking specemen of the apple we
Lave seen this season. Mr. S. will please
accept our ihttoks.
Judge Harding, during the session of
Court at Wilkesbarre sent Lawyer Lynch of
that city to prison for contempt of Court, be
cause be would not set down when he was
told to. Lawyer Lynch served out his term
like a niau and no doubt felt all the better of
his cxpeirence in durance rile.
Struck by Locouiotivc.
Caleb Rinker, a citizen of East Stroudsburg,
was struck by the bumper of the south bound
Passenger train on Wednesday of last week, as
the train was nearing the Depot, knocking him
down, breaking one or two of his ribs, and in
juring Lira about the breast and arm. Dr. L.
Bush was called and administered to the wants
of the injured man.

Northampton has at last set Billy Mutch
ler on the very pinacle of his present desires.
They have nominated him for Congress, to
which position he will without dobut be elec
ted. What Billy will aspire to after he gets
through Congress we cannot tell. We
should'nt wonder if he makes a lerch for the
Governorship, and an aspiration towards the
Presidency would not be beyond the pos
sibilities. Billy is decidedly an ambitious
young gent.
e
Among the general laws passed by the
Legislature last winter is one of some impor
tance to viewers and reviewers of roads, &c.
It provides that "the pay of viewers and re
viewers of roads and bridges, commissioners
of roads and of commissioners ap
pointed to run township lines and to
divide boroughs into wards and town
ships, divisions, lines in the several
counties of this Commonwealth, shall be two
dollars, and the pay of surveyiug four dollars
for every day necessarily employed in the
duties of their office." Also mileage "at the
rate of ten cents per mile necessairly traveled
by each viewer, reviewer, commissioner or
surveyor from his residence to the nearest
point of the road viewed or reviewed on the
line or lines to be run, to be paid in the same
manner as is now provided by law with regard
to the pay of viewers, reviewers or commis
sioners." Court.
The September Term of Court commenced
on Monday last, S:h ult. Hon. S. S. Drchcr
and his associates, DeYoung and Gruver, on
the bench. Wm. Smith, of Ross, was appoint
ed Foreman of the Grand Jury. In conse
quence of the sickncfs of James IT. Walton,
Esq. all the casus in which he is encased as
Counsel, were continued.
The Grand Jury returned the following bills:
Common wcclih vs. Charles Rossard. Sel

Commonwealth vs. John Merwine. Selling
liquor to men of intemperate habits. True
bill.
Commonwealth vs. James P. Zabriskie.

directed to pay the costs.
Common wealth vs. J. R. Stout. Taking
Lew. Phillips' gold. Till ignored.
The first case tried, was
Philip Kaul vs. Robert IIu?ton. Verdict
for Plaintiff $10.
Miraculous. Last Monday James
Wilson, Jr., of Coolbaugh, was in town,
and associating with some of his jovial
friends got too much tangle foot on board.
He went to the depot and took the up
train in the evening to go home. At
Spragucvillc when the train stopped he
went out and stood on the platform of the
car and remained there after the train had
started until a short distance above, when
he cither fell off or jumped off while a coal
train was passing. Of course every one
on the passenger train thought he was
either killed or at least badly hurt. When
the passenger train reached Oakland some
of the passengers informed the operator of
what had happened to 3Ir. Wilson, and he
telegraphed immediately to W.'s family,
who started at once for the railroad and
took a train coming down the road to see
what had become of him. They could get
no tidings of him till they reached Strouds
burg, where they found him at the Depot.
He had fallen oil' the passenger train on to
the cowcatcher of the passing coal train,
which was noticed by the fireman and
brakeman, who went out and drew him in
not hurt at all and brought him along
down to Stroudsburg, where they put him
off. James, better leave tangle foot alone
next time. You may not fare so well again

Attempted Murder and Lynching.
Wilkesbarre, Sept. 27. Last night
aboilt twelve o'clock, four negroes, named
Henry Thomas, James Welcome, Thomas
Irwin and George Bazaine, set upon James
English, a white man, on Hasle street, and,
after knocking him down, cut his throat,
partially severing his windpipe. Thomas
is said to be the one who did the cutting.
He was arrested soon afterwards at his
residence, having secreted himself under a
lounge. After his arrest a crowd of two
hundred people surrounded the officers,
and, with a rope in hands and cries of
"Lynch him," tried to take him awav from
their custody, and only a strong force of
ponce with drawn revolvers were able to
i .i .i - ... ...
Jceep tnem at bay. .Lnciish is still livine.
but is in a precarious condition.
The Scranton Republican thinks the
campaign promises to be an earnest one, so
tar as the liepubhcans are concerned, but
without undue excitement. The Republi
cans are harmonious, united, and active in
nearly every section of the Commonwealth,
and so far, as a rule, their nominations
have been unexceptionable. The election
of the Republican State ticket by a major
ity of from 20,000 to 30,000 is so certain
that the Democracy have thus far shown
little heart to enter into the contest.
Edward Bunburv. of Niles. Mich., sold
his son for $300. The son, Thomas, had
been city tax collector and ran awav with
o,000 and a young wife. A reward of
$300 was offered for his capture A few Havs
ago the father offered to surrender the son to
the sheriff on payment of the reward. The
offer was accepted, and Bunburv led the
a r J "
officer to an apartment in his house where
rue acrauitcr -was dying ot consumption.
Monroe County Agricultural
Society. Fourteenth. Annual
Fair. ; ,.
The 14th Annual Fair of the Monroe Co.
Agricultural Society commenced, on their
grounds near this borough on Tuesday of
last week, aud continued until Friday even
ing. While in many respects it was superior
to all preceding fairs, in the Agricultural
department proper, including farm produce
generally, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, and
farm machinery there was a lamentable fail
ure of specimens and of interest displayed.
We do not know, however, that our farmers
are much to blame for this. The manner of
conducting fairs heretofore was not just what
would come up to even ordinary ideas of fair
ness, or shadow forth a desire on the part of
the management to build up an institution
permanent in character and of real useful
ness. This year's fair shows a different
State of things from its conduct, and results
it safe to build up an assurance that the
promotion of our Agricultural interests are
paramount over all other considerations, and
that, in every eespect, the efforts of the
Society will be put forth to secure such a
rivalry among Agriculturalists as will lead to
the most gratifying results. Not to strife
and bickering, but to the building up of an
honorable emulation as to who among us will
take the lead in the production of the best
crops whether considered as to quantity or
quality. That this may be the end is the
most devout desire of every one anxiou3 to
see Monroe county take a worthy rank among
the live agricultural counties of the State.
This was the aim of the management this
year, and will continue to be their aim for all
future yeas, and we think we can safely infer,
from what we learn from conversation with
a number of farmers whom we met on the
grounds, that in next years exhibition there
will be more of a show towards making the
fairs of the society a success in an agricultural
point of view. We hope this prediction will
not fail of verification.
On Tuesday aud Wednesday the time, as
usual, was spent in fitting up the fair house,
and preparing matters for exhibition. On
the latter day, however, quite a number of
tickets were sold. On Thursday the work
commenced in earnest, and it was, we think,
fairly estimated that at least three thousand
persons were on the grounds. The Pleasant
Valley, Stroudsburg Cornet, and Beethoven
bands were present during the dav. These
are all young institutions, but they really
deserved more than ordinary credit for the
excellent music with which they favored the
large numbers who were present. e are
not critic enough to discriminate between
their several performances, but we feel that
we hazzard nothing when we say that three
better bands capable of dispensing sweeter
sounds could hardly scare up any where out
of the cities. This is, we admit, a large
boast, but we are backed up by the opinion
of hundreds of persons, both from home and
abroad that it has sterling truth for its foun
dation. On the track there was a fair dis
play of single and double teams, which show
ed that in the equine scale the "old plugs"
had nearly all disappeared from Monre Co.,
aud that in point of blood, style and spirit
we had nothing to be ashamed of in compari
son with other counties. The number of
really good and fine horses present we think
was superior to that of other years. For the
trots this day were confined to 3Ionroe coun
ty horses, and all proved creditable.
On Friday there was also a good attend
ance, but not so large as on Thursday. The
interest of those who were present however,
held good for the day, the point of greatest
attraction being the fair house, wdiich presen
ted a show well worth the price of admission.
It is not often that so rich a display meets
the eye in making circuit of a single build
ing, and we can not refrain from making
mere mention of what we saw in passing
around it
About the first thing that struck our eye
was Fried's display. Here were colthing,
boots and shoes, trunks and valices in almost
endless variety. The most fastidious taste
could hardly have failed to be satisfied in the
many varities of articles from which to
select.
Nothing behind in neatness of arrange
ment came friend Buster's splendid stock of
goods in the same line, sprinkled through
which was a choice selection of furs, hats and
caps. The space allotted him was full, and
every article in the space was a perfect gem.
In furniture we had a grand display by
McCarty s in which everything necessary to
the furnishing of a house was present. Bed
room and parlor suits, and almost every
thing in the line of furniture dealing were
there and throughout which beauty and util
ity were everywhere apparent. The trouble
with this space was that it was too much con
tracted for a proper display of the articles
present, and the display lacked the advan
tage of the room to make it as successf ul as
the articles deserved.
Lee & Co'e. establishment was represented
by a very neat parlor and bedroom suit,
The former neatly upholstered in rich crim
son dress, with gold bordered trimming, and
the latter highly finished, with marble topped
stands. Both were of solid walnut, and the
bed room suit reflects the highest credit on
the mechanical skill of C. Howcnstine, their
maker. The cities would be searched in vain
for a suit superior to this.
In Harness and Saddlery Reuben Miller
and Milton Edinger made fine displays, from
whence could have been selected, harness
that would have graced the best team ever
hooked to carriage. 3Ir. Edinger is new to
the business as a manufacturer, but has had
considerable experience as a mechanic in this
line. His display shows that he is not a whit
behind his older competitor in taste and
mechanical skill.
In Stoves and Tinware our neighbor Florey
wa3 present in full force. The displaj was a
grand picture of domestic comfort, or the
means to produce that happy state of affairs.
His recently patented grate, in a Boynton
Range attracted considerable attention, and
its easy workings and thorough accomplish
ment of the end desired in a grate made it a
subject of universal commendation.
Mr. J. A. Hays had an elegant case of
hats and caps, which attracted much atten
tion, as did also a fine case of cigars and
tobacco from the establishment of Hess
Brothers.
A curious and attractive display was made
by the Mountain Homo Shoepeg Manufac
turing Company, in which from specimen
blocks the whole process of manufacturing
the article was made plain.
In Fancy goods and gents furnishing goods.
and goods for ladies wear Henry D. Bush
made a display which attracted geueral at
tention. His was about the best arranged
portion of the house.
The Sewing Machine interest was repre
sented by specimens of the Grover & Baker
and the Domestic 3Iachiues. The working
qualities of both were displayed to the best
advantage by the Agents, Mr. Sigafus for
the former and Mr. Michaels for the latter,
The display was quite brilliant, though after
undergoing the showing process one would
have been bothered some to judge as to which
was the best
Of fancy goods, afghans, worked flowers,
ottomans, sofa cushions, oil paintings, &c.
&c, there was a grand display, but there
were no names attached to the articles, we
cannot do more than congratulate the fair
workers on the rare skill displaj-ed in their
work. There was a rich display also of bed
spreads, blankets, comfortables, and other
articles of domestic virtue which shows a great
advance in point of taste as displayed in for
mer 3'cars. A fancy hanging basket made
of fringed white muslin, of which there were
several, struck us as being particularly bcauti
ful.
Of Organs the Esty, in charge of Sigafus
and the Burdett from McCarty's were on
hand, and during the day their musical capa
city and variety were made apparent to all
present, by the excellent music discoursed
during the day.
In floriculture, the specimens present were
not particularly attractive though they helped
to impart the general beauty which made
the display in the house so brilliant
In the farm and garden departments the
articles present were excellent in quality, but
the number of exhibitors was evidently smal
of Wheat, Rye, Oats, Corn, Potatoes, Cab
bage, Beets, Mertinos, Tomattocs, Koh
Rabbi and Watermcllons, we may with truth
say that A No. . marked the grade. But
there should have been more space occupied
in this department, by greater numbers of
exhibitors. Of potatoes we notice unusua
fine specimens of Breese's Earl', Brownell'f
Early, Compton's Surprise. Early Rose
White Superiors and extra Early Vermonts,
which would be hard to beat.
In the fruit and household department,
there was nothing particularly to brag of in
quantity. There were fine specimens of ap
ples, canned fruits, grapes, honey, Sec Sec,
but these were very few indeed. While
remarkable thing to us was the total absence
of all evidence of the skill of our dairy folks
in butter and cheese making.
In Leather Messrs Bennett & Dunk made
a very rich displar. The finest we ever saw
in the house. Their leathers are all split,
but the finish they succeed in getting upon
it is truly grand
Of Poultry Tim Strunk's four legged chick
en formed the sole representative. It was a
curiosity indeed but that was all.
The best display of farm Machinery was
confined to a couple of horse-powers and
threshing machines, a mower and mower and
reaper combined and a cider mill, while of
of stock a cow and a bull, a breeding sow and
1 I .1 I f 1 . l 1 l -r,,
nan a aozen snecp lormea tne wnoic. l his
branch of the fair was lamentably a failure,
which we hope to see changed to a success
by next fall
In wagons and carriages but few specimens
were present, but these few were good. A
two seated Phaeton, from the factory of
Mr. Valentine Kautz is proof of the folly of
going abroad to find a carriage when so neat
and servicable vehicle can be procured at
home. The workmanship and finish through
out shows masterly mechanism and skill.
On the course the grand trout, open to all
was the grand attraction. As a display of
speed it did not amount to much, but as a
display of first class jockeyism it could hardly
be beaten. Thomas Newman's bay mare
"Annie" took the first premium, making the
best three heats out of five,
During both Thursday and Friday the Tom
Collins B. B. Club.distinguised itself by de
feating all comers just as easy as could be,
and to the amusement of a large crowd of
spectators,
We do not presume that we have noticed
halt the articles on exhibition. Where there
was so much to be seen there was altogether
too much to be remembered. Our wish is to

The refreshment and show, and gambling
Lusiness was not up to former years, though
a number ot our citizens wero thorouelv
initiated into the mysteries of French nool
some to their profit, but the great rcass, as
usual, to their loss. A commendable state
of affairs, was the almost total absence of
drunkenness from the grounds. There were
some few exceptions to this rule but we are
proud to say the exceptions were verv few
indeed.

Taking it all in all the Fair proved a sue
cess, and, what is better still, a precursor that
still greater success will crown the efforts of
the management in the future,
