THURSDAY, MAY 13.1875.
Important Amiouacntaexit.
We arc now, and have been for some days
busy making out bills against all who owe us
for subscription, advertising and job work,
and intend to make calls on all for our due in
shape of the "ready go-down." We need
what is due us, and it is no more than right
that we should have it, and, hence, we want
all to be prepared to meet our demand when
called for. It is not ncccsssary to wait until
the bill is presented for the purpose of finding
out the amount, and then fixing another day
for payment. All who owe us know they
have not paid us in some time, and the best
way to do is to lay aside a little more of the
'.spons," with which to greet our call, than
they think they owe us. Then when we do
call any surplus over will be so much made,
because it will be so much more than we have
any right to demand, or any desire to receive,
from them. We mean business in this
"dun," and we want our experience to show
that those delinquent believe us.
The Electing on Friday night.
The meeting held at the Court Ilous'e, on
Friday night, had under consideration a sub
ject worthy the most serious consideration of
our citizens. Its olject if carried to consum
mation cannot fail to produce results which
will have a most important bearing on our
future by adding to a greater opening up
of our sections of couutry and its resources,
bringing capital among us, fostering enter
prize, and building up of a prosperity such as
even with the experience of the past, we lit
tle dream of.
Who that remembers, and reflects over our
status of twenty years ago, can fail to appre
ciate the great stride we have made in pros
perity and wealth during that period ? Who
can fail to comprehend the great advantages
we have derived from the building of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad,
even though, as all must confess, our gain
vas purely incidental, and grew out of it in
ypite of the selfishness of a management,
which would, if it could, have retained all
the advantage within itself? The D. L. &
WM has proved, in its every phase, a close
monopoly a monoply which has hemmed in
every thing, and every where, to add to its
coffers at the expense of a country dependent
upon the use of its grudgingly bestowed
facilities. And yet, what that we are to-day,
in point of prosperity and wealth, do we not
owe to the fact that it was built and has been
operated.
What were we twenty years ago ? A mere
linmlet of a few houses, hemmed in by creeks
on three sides, and by a line on the north
larallel with McMichael's creek and barely
more than 600 yards from it at the widest
j K)int Our houes were scattered our busi
ness confined to two or three country stores
our means of support scarce and uncertain,
and our products not sufficient to furnish
bread for the sparse population which occu
pied the soil. Abroad, ours was noted
chiefly as a dead, dull village, and our pro
ducts accounted, and with truth, as bark,
lioop poles, bull pine, and spindle oak. These
-with labor, composed our chief currency, and
rentals barely approached the shadow of a
three percent, interest on the investment.
It is not an elevating picture this; and yet,
its hundreds will agree with us, it i3 the only
picture we could paint and approach the
truth. But then approached the railroad.
Its building gave us the start, and from the
iay the first shovel for its construction was
thrust into the earth, began to draw for us
that prosperity which has caused us to ex
pand, aud to continue to grow, until now two
villages occupy the locality where but one
stood before cither of them more compactly
built up and opulatcd, more generally em
ployed in mechanical and business pursuits
Mssesscd of more wealth, intelligence and
jreneral prosperity by an hundred fold, than
the Stroudsburg of twenty years ago. And
all this, as we have already said, the inciden
tal result of the working of a monopoly.
With this experience of the past before us
what may wc not expect from the breaking
of the power of monopoly by the successful
introduction of competition ? 3Ionroe is to
day, worth, by four fold, more in material
wealth than it was twenty years ago or before
the railroad. No one can successfully con
trovert the truth of this assertion. Now
build the Lehigh and Eastern road, as con
templated, and what will be our statue twen
ty years hence? Our past score-growth has
been made without special facilities indeed
against draw backs to be fuund in the great
advantages afforded to Scrauton and other
points where the D. L. & W. Company's
chief interests la'. Competition will most
assuredly remove these drawbacks and afford
the facilities we need, b' furnishing us with
a choice as to where we may bestow our pat
ronage. This choice, as in every like case,
w ill become a key iu our hands, by means of
which the door to tstill greater prosperity can
readily be opened. Let the new road be
built and reduction of tolls, reduction in the
price of coal, and accommodation carefully
accorded, will induce investment here that
would never think of coining aye have
been driven away under the narrow policy
of our railroad monopoly. And this remov
ed, who, in view of the past, can doubt our
growth in the future.
And what is demanded, of us, as our share
in securing this great boon, so suro to be
fulfilled ? Merely that we help to build the
j-oad to our more certain prosperity merely
that of our means wc contribute the com
partively insigniucent sum of $25,000 for
this purfoso. Of the sum one-fifth was sub
scribed by t.hr.ie gentlemen at the meeting
on Friday night. Can it be that the other
four fifths will not be forth coming ?
Our space precludes the continuance of a
discussion of this important subject this week.
We will continue it in-future, as a subject of
vital import.'
How about our gas companies? Have all
efforts in that direction died a natural death?

snow storm on the 4th, are not sure fore-runners
that the month of violets and posey's

Well, how about our suggestion of living
flowers for the Soldier's graves ? If we are
going to do that job up neatly, and gratefully
it is high time we went to work. Remember
it is Saturday the 29th inst, that will be
celebrated as Decoration dixy this year, and a
stretch of ten days will sec us to the time.
Have you seen the new stock of Ladies'

of any thing in their line, as they are al

Important. To all whom it may con

zens of Stroudsburg will be held at the
Court House on Friday evening, May 14th,
1875, for the purpose of making arrange
ments for the proper celebration of the
coming 4th of July. The Beethoven and
Stroudsburg Cornet Bands arc respectfully
invited to attend and enliven the occasion
with music. Many Citizens.
Scranton's select council is investigating
the idea of Cisterns in the portions of the
city where hydrants have Dot yet been estab
lished. May Stroudsburg never experience
the necessity for the inquiry which Scranton
has. And yet the day may come when we
will wish we had built them, and the loss of
thousands in destroyed property will be the
sum of the folly of our supinencss and neg
lect. We have admonitions within the last
two weeks which should be heeded.

On Friday night last the steamer
Schiller, which sailed from New York to
Hamburg, Germany, on the 28th of April,
was wrecked on the Scilly Islands, near the
entrance of the British Channel. There
were 399 persons on board, of whom it is
believed more than 300 perished. The
passengers comprised persons from nearly
all the principal cities throughout the
United States, and two of them were re
sidents of Scranton. The disaster oc
curred during a dense fog that was prevail
ing in that -region.
Those wishing to secure a good bargain
will do well to call at N. Rustcr's, as he is

A fine subject, decidedly, for the Photo
graphers Camera, or the Artists pencil, is our
friend "Oofty Gooft" as he draws the "rib

his way to Portland after the affluviated
material, out of which to coin the almighty
dollar. There is grace in motiou and Oofty
really fcits the lord, iu the majesty of his
mien. And, then too, his position between
the plow-handles, as he gracefully turns the
poetic sward, under the influence of a hot
May suu ! Well wc will not attempt it.
The description is altogether beyond the
powers of our pen.

A new band is about starting at Bossards
ville, in this county. This will make five
bands in a county, which two years ago had
to go abroad when ever music was needed
for political or other public occasions. We
learn that the leader is not yet chosen, but
we think there is no need of trouble on this
score. The experience of Brodhcadsville,
Fcnnersville and our Stroudsburg Cornet
band clearly demonstrates that Prof. Moran
is just the person to draw music even from
sources where the existence of music was
never suspected before, though we do not,
by any means, wish to be understood as
placing our Bossardsvillc friends in that
category. Professor Moran is both a skilfull
performer and a successful teacher, and is
withal a genial gentleman, who makes fast
friends of pupils and all others with whom
he comes in acquaintance. Don't go farther,
boys, and fare worse, in searching for a prop
er teacher for 3'our band. It is at the begin
ning that the foundation for a good band is
always laid, and Prof. Moran knows just how
to make that beginning.
RAILROAD MEETING.
In pursuauce of previous public notice,
the citizens of the Borough of Stroudsburg
and vicinity, assembled in the Court House
on the evening of the 7th inst. lion. S. S.
Dreiier was called to preside and L. 31.
Burson, Esq. was chosen Secretary. The
President stated the object of the meeting
and called upon the Hon. C. Burnett,
who made some preliminary remarks, when
Col. Case the President of the Lehiirh &
Eastern R. R. Co. gave an elaborate and
exhaustive explanation of the advantages of
this road, when completed, over all other
coal roads, of the easy grades and favorable
character of the country on the line of the
proposed road, ensuring its cheapness and
rapid construction, also of the various con
nections it would have.
Books of subscription were presented and
6,000 was immediately subscribed to the
stock of the Company.
On motion of Hon. C. Burnett, Stroud
Burson, R. R. Depuy and Linferd Marsh
were appointed a committee to receive fur
ther subscriptions to the stock, whereupon
the meeting adjourned after thanks were
tendered to Col. Case for his able and sat
isfactory statement, and also to the Beetho
ven Cornet Band for their discourse of
excellent music.

Messrs. R. E. Crommett & Co., are busy
getting in and arranging their machinery, and
will soon commence the manufacture of boots
and shoos, on an extensive scale, in J. S.
William's Vinegar factory building, corner
of George and Monroe streets, this borough.
This is just what we like to see and what
we should all make it a point to encourage
both by word and deed. Every such business
started adds to the producing portion of our
population secures the circulation of money,
and adds to our material wealth. The gen
tlemen connected with this matter have had
experience in the business, and we are as
sured located here only after a close canvass
of our advantages. .. We never could under
stand why leather manufactured here should,
of necessity, be sent hundred of miles away
in the raw state, to be returned to us for use
in shape of boots and shoes. We hope this
matter will prove more than experiment, as
we are assured that it will from the fact that
our townsman Capt Combs, who has won
hosts of friends since his advent here, has the
Superintendence of the establishment
We observe that our distinguished friend
of over the way Judge Grccnwald, has
treated his steam press to a new boiler, ren
dered necessary by the old one becoming
somewhat defective. The Judge has a fine
appreciation of the necessity of providing for
the public safety, and hence felt like running
no risks when the expenditure of a hundred
or two would avoid them. We congratulate
the Judge over the possession of this spirit,
though we see in the result which it has led
to, an augury that the Democrat will hurl at
us even heavier thunder than before.
General Jail Delivery.
The two remaining prisoners, one of whom
was lodged in jail some three weeks ago, and
the other last week, for breaking into James
Blaksley's store, concluded Tuesday night to
change their bed and board, and just dug a
hole through the jail wall and left. The
prisoners had been watched up to about 9
o'clock last night, when the watchman,
Samuel Brees, was called away for a short
time to see a sick horse. This was their op
portunity and they used it effectually.
We hope that the Grand Jury will see to
it that oar county buildings Court House,
Jail and County House are all merged into
one. They ought to be all torn down, and
one building take the placo of them all. If
they were all torn away there would be ground
plenty to put an imposing, and every way
substantial building, which would answer
fully for all the county business and at the
same time be a source of pleasure and pride
to all the citizens of the county.
The first story would accommodate the
Commissioners, Prothonotary, Register and
Recorder and District Attorney, and these
offices would not take more than one half of
the lower story : the balance of which could
be used for cells and jailors accommodations.
The second story could be thrown into a large
Court room which would seat from eight
hundred to a thousand persons. The third
story would be for use of grand and petit
juries. All the material in the present Court
House, County House and Jail could be used
in the new building, which would materially
cut down the cost of a new building.
A building put up on this plan would not
cost, but little if any over $30,000. The
debt thus incurred could be easily handled
by the county in a few years. Let this thing
be attended to at once.
The First Congregational Church, the
finest in Janesville, Wis., was burned on

Another of those entertaining spelling
bees came off at the Y. M. C. A. Rooms
on Saturday evening last. As iu the pre
ceding matches the audience filled both
rooms to their utmost capacity. Spellers
were scarcer than ever and the spelling
more wretchedly poor than in cither of the
previous trials. Messrs. Dinsmoro and
Holmes were again appointed leaders, and
then ensued the usual half hour's hard la
bor in trying to convince divers persons in
the audience that they could spell in a man
ner which would make Noah Webster a
shamed that he ever had egotism enough
to undertake to get up a dictionary. At
half past eight o'clock the following twenty
had been prevailed upon to make the sport
for the evening, or rather the first part of
it.
Mr. C. A. Holmes, Mr. A. A. Dinsmore,
" Chas. Mclntyre, " C. B. Staples,
u Shearman, Fred. Kohlcr,
Mrs. Childs, " Henry Sayres,
Miss Mary Garris, Mrs. Stroud Burson,
" Ella Garris, " Joseph Matlack,
" Ida Detrick, Miss Annie Rees,
" Belle Decker, " Louisa Kohler,
" Eva Edinger, " Clara Mcllhaney
" Minnie Drake, " Annie Kohler.
Mr. Matlack was nominated cnunciator.
Two misses were allowed before the party
was permitted to step down. Miss Ida
Detrick was the first unfortunate on "con
fectionary". Mrs. Burson quickly follow
ed with "casimcre." Miss Drake extern
porized a way to spell " extempore" which
would have made old Webster s head swim
to think of. " Ignitable" and " iuditable"
were the cause of disappointment to the
Misses Kohlcr. Miss Mary Garris got
wandered from the straight and narrow
but correct way to spell " meretricious" at
the second vowel. Mrs. Chads had better
been reticent, than spelt "reticence" with
" cents" for the last syllable. Miss Mcll
haney wasn't so fond of Uncle Sam's spe
cie, apparently, but went lor good sound
"sense". Miss Mary Garris was the first
to look up a scat after spelling " solomnize .
Ida Detrick could'ut be separated from her
and took an adjoining seat on "seperate."
The next word was the cause of fearful
slaughter among the bold " spellUts." It was
" sadonaceous." It was curved, crooked,
straightened out and cramped and twisted
again into every conceivable shape but the
right one by Misses Drake, Rees, Annie
Kohler, Ella Garris, Mcllhaney, Mrs.
Childs, Messrs. Shearman, Mclntyre, Dins
more, Holmes and Staples, till finally Fred
Kohler got the parts fitted together accu
rately. This word had proved destructive
to what hopes Mrs. Childs and Miss Mcll
haney and Kohler had of bearing off the
honors. Miss Eva Edinger sought "tran
quility" in a chair. "Useing" used up
Mr. Shearman. Miss Ella Garris made a
violent attempt to govern "ollogarchy" in
that form but failed decidedly. "-Myriad"
was far too many for Miss Decker. " Mag
natize" drew Mr. Sayres half way to a
chair, and the next word made Mr. Mcln
tyre feel " melancholly." Mr. Matlack
anxious to display his skill looked around
for some one to " mesmerize" and found
Mr. Sayres and Miss Decker first class sub
jects. " 3Ietonymy" was a figure of rhet
oric which Mrs. Matlack, Mr. Holmes and
Mr. Dinsmore had never quite understood,
and they received a short course of instruc
tion from Mr. Staples, and then sat down.
This ended the first match. Six still stand
ing on the Mr. Dinsmorc's side.
Another match was arrnged. Messrs.
Staples and Sayres being leaders. The
following were the sides chosen.
Mr. C. B. Staples, Mr. Henry Sayres,
" C. A. Holmes, " A. A. Dinsmore,
" Chas. Mclntyre, " Fred. Kohler,
Miss Lizzie Drehcr, Mrs. Jos. Matlack,
" Mary Garris, ." Stroud Burson,
u
((
11
Belle Decker, " Dr. Patterson,
Ida Detrick, Miss Annie Rees,
Eva Edinger, " May Schoonover,
Mr. Thos. AValton, " Ella Garris.
"Analogous" was the first word causing
trouble and we never saw anything
analogous to the attempts of Misses
Detrick, Rees, Edinger, Mr. Walton, Mrs.
Burson and Patterson to spell this word.
Then Misses Schoonover aud Detrick and
Messrs Mclntyre, Staples and Sayres under
went a course of "allopathic" treatment
and if we could judge from their counten
ances almost any other branch of the
science medical would have been preferable
in their cases. Miss Detrick was the worst
patient and had to be tenderly placed in a
chair. "Crystallize" wasn't any where
near as clear as crystal to Mr. Kohler,
Miss Decker or Mrs. Matlack. "Seige" sent
Miss Rees to a scat. Mrs. Burson was
seized with the idea that if "s-i-c-g-e" spelt
siege "s-i-c-z-e" must spell seize but she
sat down entirely free from such an idea.
Mrs. Patterson did'nt sift enough from
her "sceivc" and she sat down. Miss
Schoonover intimated her belief that
"beliefe" was correct and she was graciously
permitted a chair. Ella Garris couldn't
make a good "satellite." Mr. Kohler
unblushingly pretended "pretention was
correct and was handed a chair. "Oscilate"
oscilated from Miss Mary Garris to one
t i. . i . . - ...
who speit it octter. "Uanonize " sat Mrs.
Matlack and Miss Edinger down. "Camel
opard" proved a very dangerous animal,
contrary to general opinion and Miss Mary
Garris, Messrs Mclntyre and Dinsmore
were seriously injured, the two former
indeed did not recover "Aggrcvate" a""ra-
vated Miss Decker, and she took a chair.
The next word "accruing" was iriven to
Aur. oiapics who rattled it oil "acruin""
and sat down under a volley of astonished
"Ohs." Mr. Dinsmore, the last man on
the other side and who had been stru'Min"
nobly for orthographical renown," evi
dently didn't sec wherein Mr. Staples had
tailed and for an instant he seemed com
plctely non-plused : only for an instant.how
ever, when he seemed to have made ur his
nuiiu mat mac woru would require an
immense amount of labor, and he sctUed
down into a state ol the most profoum'
.vu0., , OUUii u- tauiu guuing iroui ins
lips ; then followed a minute aud a half of
classic statuary and silence, when
came slowly and cautiously forth ; for the
ncxi inree minutes the amount of brain
power expended upon that sylable must
have been something absolutely awful ;
finally he raised his head ; his ej'es beamed
confidently and "e-i-n-g" fell sturdily and
proudly from Jus lips, lie realized nis
failure and sunk into a chair, "bearing the
love, esteem and pity of all who knew him.
Thus ended the second match, Miss Jjlzzie
Drehcr and Mr. Holmes still standing on
the other side.
A third match was also had between the
same sides. The spelling was worse than
before. Miss Decker finally bore off the
honors, and the "bee" was adjourned.
What IV c Iicard and Saw within
the Week.
And now our up-town friends have four
dear little kittens. What next ! Angry
words and work. J-E-M Krow, our ac
coraplished Chesterfield, must have been
considerably "muddled" when he mistook a
fair lady's arm for' a pump handle. And
now there is a "tempest" in the choir, but
it is productive of miserable sounds. The
"boss" is recruiting breakmen for her sewing
machine with a very fair show of success.
Judging from the amount of yeast the "boss"
carries she must intend to raise somebody.
The "Owl Train" has been running regular
for some time. No accidents. The young
man who says he has all of our j'oung ladies
on a "string" had better be careful or the
string might break. The iron bridge is a
favorite place of resort for the "boss."
"Bill" hugging the seamstress. You should
not disturb her in her work, "Billy."
"Oofty" on the wing, "Greely" on the road
to Paradise to see a magic lantern show and
the "Original" the Lord only knows where.
Our Borough Improvements.
The improvements on the Stroudsburg
House are going on as rapidly as it is possible
to make them go. A large gas chandelier
has been placed over the front entrance, and
the painters are busy putting on the finish
ing touches to that portiou of the house. In
the rear we observe a completed foundation
for the brick addition, and the hum produced
by the mechanics and laborers, indicate a
finished job by the time the season for sum
mer rustication on the part of city denizens
begins. When completed the Stroudsburg
House will prove the greatest improvement
the "burg" has ever experienced, whether
looked at from the useful, utile, or beautify
ing stand point.
At the Indian Queen, a whole army of
mechanics are kept busy to secure the early
completion of the liberal improvements inau
gurated by friend Shaffer. The completion of
this will add much to the beauty of the upper
end, and will add much to its life also, be
cause of the addition it will bring to the al
ready large and stirring business of that ' 'hos
tellerie." The fame of the Queen is wide
spread for excellence of its accommodations,
and these will lesson none because of greater
space in which to spread.
Stephen Holmes, jr., Esq., has the founda
tion of his office completed, and the work of
finishing up of the building, is only a ques
tion limted for solution to a very short space
of time.
Mr. Jacob II. Butts, down town, has com
menced the foundation for a neat brick resi
dence, which he has made up his mind to erect.
The plans exhibit great liberality in matters of
adornment as well as convenience and com
fort. The building wc understand is to be
three story.
J. T. Canner has completed a slaughter
house, with all modern improvements on the
bank of the Pocono, a little off of Pocono
street, up town. This may be a necessity
but we do not know that it can justly be
ranked as an improvement to the portion of
the town in which it is located. The thought
of it, in hot weather, is not very suggestive
of the perfume of violets, roses, trailing arbu
tus, though with proper regard to cleanliness
it many be prevented from becoming an un
mitigated nuisance, and, we think that under
Jimmy's management, it will.
Dan. Tuttle, the irrepressible Daniel, un
der the supervision of the Street Committee,
has just completed a substantial flag stone
crossing opposite the Methodist Church.
This was something long needed, and an im
provement that will be appreciated by our
church going people.
Other improvements, yet in embryo will
be noted as they assume shape.
