CtsJT We have a rich chapter laid by of the terrible growl which arose in the kennel of De mocracy over the pecuniary bone which Frank D. Collin threw into the midst of the faithful. In the language of the Democracy "distin guished fpeakers were present who indulged in distinguished speeches, and as we have these tpeeches, and as they will not spoil by keeping we hare laid them aside for future service. And now lie is mad, very mad is our distinguished neighbor over the way. Some how unintentionally we stepped on his toes, aud he growls over it like a bear with a sore head, and because of his hurts says many foolish things, for which we heartly forgive him. Our business in great parts, is to keep people advised of passing events, and we are certainly attending to our own business when we publish to the world, squarely, truthfully and honestly, the doings of so important an event as a Democratic jubilee, even to a notice of the graceful handling of a torch by our distinguished neighbor oyer the way. It is not our fault if he made a ninny of himself or if the poakers and actors generally at his jubilee mado spoechss and did things open to adverse criticism. Our business is to notice things as we find them not as our distin guished neighbor would have us notice them. We publish a Republican paper it in true, but we publish an iudependent paper. If &ur political friends are guilty of folly, we r?&ii the right to say, in the language of a distinguished townsman, "I say stop your fyolishnetts.. If our Democratic friends are guilty of a folly in act, or a failure in carry ing it out, the duty is ours of pointing it out to the full treasure of its ridiculousness. We worship but wis God aud ackuowledge no waster beside, and if our distinguished neigh bor would escape our shafts, why he must stand from under. Our a&otto is "let us have peace," but if we must come we shall endeav or to be prepared for it, and then our motto ?! he "mav the test man wm. TUG 11 RODUE ADS VILLI POLE RAISING. The pole raising at Brodheadsville came off on Friday last, as per announcement. It was a good Democratic affair, as Democracy lave made things run within the last fifteen years, but there was not that hilarious jolity there would have been if the party had been used to celebrating victories, with pole rais ings, or if they bad called upon us to show hem how. The speakers tried to make the thing lively by dealing in rhapsodies, and en deavoring to infuse enthusiasm into the few by whom they were surrounded ; but the ideas of the hearers were not up to those of the orators. They could not bring them selves to believe anything else than that the victory was but the result of an accident, and that before any thing substantial could grow out of it the wound would be healed and Democracy again be compelled to stand back and look on, while the Republicans reveled in the spoils to satiety. At the gathering the Stroudsburg Demo cracy, tnc very ivtngs oi me uamoai Islands," were strongly represented,'and but for the presence of these representatives the word "slim" would have a superlative adjec tive in this description. Early in the morn ing, Mitt Marsh, aud Storm and Detrick and others, last but not least, of whom was our distinguished neighbor over the way A. 0. Greenwalt, Esq., betook themselves on their "winding way," fairly overflowing with the effervescence of joy, and near bursting with the importance of self, and the magnitude of the labors they had performed and were about to perform. The Stroudsburg Cornet Band, too, went forth, blowing right lustly, but ex qmsitely, the beautiful little umrccanx "Lay mc in tuy little bed" an effort which touched the tender sensibilities of our distinguished ueighbor over the way so sharply as to almost draw the choking tears of sympathy from eves not oft given to indulgence in the ml lachrymal. These stern unyielding . Demo crats went on wending and wending with we do not know how many "smiles" on the way to cheer them up, until at last they wended into Brodheadsville, to which place others had wended from other quarters. Thenum bcr present was not large, nor, as we intima ted before, was the enthusiam exhuberant They had gathered to raise a Democratic pole and imbibe a modicum of whiskey '"Kunkletown," perhaps and nothing more and they meant to do nothing more, and did'nt. After baviDcr properly refreshed themselves, our heroes joined the throng, au the work of role raising began. There was considerable tugging, some laughing aud little swearing, but the pole went up and soon was firmly planted. Then it was that the stern work of the day began the work of relieving our town Democrats of the super abundance of patriotic palaver with which they were filled ; and an encouraging relie it was making each and every one of the speakers feel decidedly better, and the audi encc glad when they were done. The first speaker on the occasion was our distinguished neighbor across the way. 11 text, and he stuck as close to it as wax, was the nigger. Perhaps he may think we are giving "vent to the slang so characteristic "to them" "the Jeffersonian folks" but we cannot help remarking that we never saw a nigger but or butted more sublimely and determinedly than our distinguished neighbor butted and the nigger was butted at Brod hcusville. It was really beautifully done ... . , and in flll the richness too of the juicy Allen town vernacular ; which is saying all that need be said to convince all who were not there of the rich treat they missed by the: absence. It was an cJrt reaching the very achme of oratorical sublimit- and it may trulv be said of both it and its anchor, that the Websteriaa, Claj-erian and Bcntontrian I , r ,i . rr . .1 . i u, and Calhounerian effort of the past could not hold a candle to it. In fact it far trans cended all other efforts ever made, and its like had never been heard "cither in the heavens above, nor in the earth beneath, nor in the waters under the earth." It needed but to be supplemented with a song from Jerry Mack, who, unfortunately, was not on the ground, to make it as sublimely perfect as it was sublimely grand. The next speaker was the Hon. Congress man Storm. J. B. took the administration as his text, and went through all the ramifica tions of firstly, secondly, thirdhy, again, and lastly, and so on with deflexions and genuflex ions thrown in. In the course of his re marks his honor J. B. gave the treasury thieves particular jessie. He was particu larly and peculiarly reticent, however, as to that diabolical species of thievery in which he took a pious hand, and in which $5,000 so miraculously stuck to his fingers for work which had been completed and paid for ac cording to contract When "Sallary grab bers" raise their eyes in holy horror over the crime of treasury stealings then, iudced, ought we to begin to look for the coming of white crows and the failing of the heavens. Of course it is none of our business, and less of our funeral, but if we were J. B. we would study up another theme for such occasions. The charge of thievery, with the salary grab tainting ones blood is too much like the Irishman's gun to be atall agreeable it shoots out behind as well as in front, and is apt to hit and wound or kill the shootist as the game shot at. It may do to remodel castles with, but it won't work for the establishment of honesty and virtue in the eyes of an out raged consistency. Dr. Detrick was the next and last speaker. Charles is a clever enough fellow, but neither nature nor nature's God ever intended him for an orator. He may be good at electrics, but at didactics he must, by this time, be himself satisfied that he is a failure. His assumed fortes is the facetious in oratory, but his forte is made up of smoke only, and his most brilliant scintillat'iocs are but as the limp danglings of the difch cloth. On the occasion under consideration he essayed the funny man as usual, the Grimaldi of the circus but his jokes fell stilborn to the ground, and so damped the audience that he was coopered to laugh, tolufi, over his own oily. His subject was the pole, and when he did manage to work up the ardor of his Democratic hearers so as to induce them to go out to shout adorations to the insensible stick which they had just planted, lo! the eagle aud the streamer were not at the head. For waut of practice, and iu accordance with Democratic usuge, these had been overlooked and left lying on the ground, and the audi ence, determined hot to. like "Th heathen in his blindness Bow down to wood and stone," returned in disgust and left the Doctor and his jokes to join in speculations over the vanity of human hopes. The pole raising and its attendant charac teristic proved a sad thing to the leaders, and especially to the orators, including our distinguished neighbor over the way. They hoped for much. They got but very little indeed. The only thing over which they have reason to boast was the excellent music furnished by the Kresgeville, the Bordheads- ille and the Stroudsburg Cornet Band. This was the only redeeming feature of the gath ing, aud many present felt and expressed the idea that it was a pity that so much that was good was wasted on so much more that was to be, but which really proved to be the merest fizzle immagimablc. Mitt. Marsh, our distinguished neighbor over the way, the Hon. Congressman Storm and Dr. Detrick returned home in the even ing, in as good condition as could be expec ted. Our distinguished neighbor over the way is possessed of one attribute for which he never, or seldom, gets credit, and that is the attribute of facetiousness. It is seldom indeed that the characteristic looms up on the surface of his 'sayings or doings, but it will occasionally burst its bonds, and when it does come, good lordy! stand from under say we. Last week he gave us an evidence of his possession of this attribute, and if any failed to enjoy the fun, and indulge in mvol untary cachinnations, their natures must in deed be surcharged with the very qumtes sence of stoicism Our distinguished neighbor evidently felt that the time had come when a display o this attribute was demanded, and he struck the blow fearfully and well and we thank him for it. That the effect might not be too hcartrcuding, following the example of old "Probabilities" in quality if not exactly in kind, he hung out his precautionary signal. Old " Probs," in case of danger, hangs ou a flag, but our distinguished neighbor, with a better appreciation of the situation, treat ed us to the picture of a coffin, the syiubo of Democracy in its late long sleep, as more in accord with the result to his readers, and especially to ourself, of a perusal of wha would flow from the laughter engendered by his facetious lucubration. And here we beg to say that we duly appreciate our neighbor' tender mercies towards us, and his ardent love for us for instead, as he might have done, of turning the whole of his facetious battery upon us alone, he lets us down as easily as possible by joining us, in the targatage with Johnny McCarty, John Stoke?, Ed Wolf, Al. Clemens, Eve, we (he) means Mi riam, "Kunkletown Whiskey" and others of our "sattellites departed long ago." This was kind. It was unusually gener ous, and as we said before, we appreciate it. And then he goes on to talk of " home guards," and "bow they fought and bled for their country during the war," and how " Stokes was slaughtered by Drake, and McCarty wa3 scalped by Pauli, and Kunkle town Whiskey killed Wolf and Clements,' all a? facetious as can be. No more perfect specimen of facctiousness than this was ever limned for the contemplation of man, not- with standing the fact that things are decidedly mixed, and that those who posted our dis tinuished neighbor on matters occurrin . w i -i t . o i i j:..: : liere, while he was in bwitzcrlana diving in to this theologic lore of Zwingle and Melanc thon, on the shores of Geueva's lake, and "keeping out of the draft," and getting rca dy to come home Then the war was over had not exactly furuisheJ him with truth for the basis of his effort. Pauli did not scalp Johnny JloCarty, Drake did, for a sudden flip-flap from raJica Republicanism to Democracy, as a reward, received the position occupied by Stokes. Neither did Kunkletown whiskey kill Wolf and Clemens. McCarty, instead of going to Switzerland managed to find his theology in front of the enemy in Charleston harbor, and studied hard at it for three years. He afterwards scalped Drake and filled the posi tion, with credit to himself and increased profit to the government until the place was abolished, when he retired to private life with the assurance of his superiors that no better officer occupied position in the revenue service. Stokes and the rest, alive, hearty and well to-day, lived a home guards life at home instead of going to Switzerland, and learned their ology not possibly theology in awaiting the necessities of their surround ings. Neither of these were particularly anxious to become "food for powder," we presume, and some of them, we know, had no regrets to mourn over in the fact that they were born just outside of the draft, but rather had reason to rejoice that a voyage, amid dangers, over the briney deep was not among their necessities. We mention these things not apologetically, but to show our distinguished neighbor what he missed in richness of theme by not coming to us for the facts in the case, Next our distinguished neighbor turns his facetious battery towards ourself and what we made out of the generosity of "Eve we mean Miriam," to use his words. And here we would observe that our distinguished neighbor's obtuseness is no draw back to his facetiousuess for while he alleges profit to us out of Miriam's generosity he proved to be the only recipient of that profit. We thought at one time that we had secured a modicum of "stamps" from the patronage of the office, but our distinguished neighbor under bid us and secured the job, thus securing pay in ad vance for the many nice things he has since said in behalf or our worthy r. M. " Next, car distinguished ueighbor face tiously iuforms ua that it was be who rcade us Chief Burgess, We bad been all along aboring under the hallucination that it was the people who elected us. , We are glad to have our belief disabused, and offer our most rofound bow of appreciation for the service rendered.

For years we have endeavored to advance him upward on the adder' of greatness. - We succeded in mak ing him school director, but could never get beyond that. Our aim was to send him to the Legislature, aud then to Congress, but the people would no more touch htm for these positions than they would, to use a vulgarism, "touch a skunk."

This afternoon at half-past two o'clock a brick wall and rafters ol a round house in course of construction at Keyser, formerly New Creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, West Virginia, was blown down, burying a number of workmen under the ruins. John Connelly, of Baltimore laborer, was killed ; John Kemp, of Baltimore county, fatally injured. Several others made narrow escapes from death. It is impossible to estimate the loss at present. Lew Ballard, a notorious counterfeiter, with his mother and mother-in-law, have been indicted at Auburn, N. Y., for coun terfeiting national bank notes. The Bellefonte Watchman says that a valuable horse belonging to C. Munson, Esq., of Fhillipsburg, refused to cat, al though exhibiting no cymptoms of any dis ease peculiar to horses. At last it was dis covered that by some means a boot heel had become fastened m the roof of the ani mal's mouth, preventing mastication. It is supposed that the heel was in the hay upon which the horse fed, and the nails, by the action of the month, were forced into the roof, holding the heel until discov ered and removed. Schillidg, the German who was lately killed in Cincinnati, by a man named Eg ncr, had, it seems, seduced and ruined Egncr's daughter. Hence the murder. Egner is in prison awaiting trial for the murder. The seducer has been murdered, the seduced girl is dead, and the poor wife of Egner is sacrificing the savings of a life time to raise means for the defense of her husband. "These," as the Cincinnati Ga zette remarks, "are the works of the care less seducer." Sinners beware !
