Aud uow tlic County Commissioners corue in for an unmeasured share of the ire of our distinguised neighbor over the way. The Judge, that is to be if we can inake it so, is really mad "has get his dutch up," as the paying is and all because the Commissioners did what they had a perfect right to do gave us a pittance of their patronage in the shape of job work. From the tenor of our neigh bor' article, one would suppose that all the patronage of the county of right belonged to him ; but such is far from being the fact. We arc not, here, situated as are parties in other counties of the State. Monroe county has never elected her officers, below Legisla tive candidates, upon distinctive partizan grounds. The attempt has been repeatedly made to make party nominations the rule from the beginning to the end of the County offices, but every such attempt has been so unmistakably frowned upon and condemned that the party leaders have never dared to insist upon their suggestions in that di rection. From the formation of the county until the present, all our county offices have been elec ted upon the volunteer system, as the best means of securing the best men to fill the several positions ; and we think in this we have been eminently successful so success ful that we think the people will find no in ducements in Judge Grecnwald's senseless mess''of twaddle to make a change. It is true that, with but few rare exceptions, the county offices have been filled by gentlemen of Democratic proclivities ; but it is also true that no man has ever yet been elected to office in Monroe county without the aid of "Whig, in the olden time, and latterly Repub lican votes, and no candidate has yet ventur ed upon a canvas without soliciting these votes on the ground that politics was not in the question, and that partizanship should hot enter into the management of our county affairs. It is true that the bulk of the suc cessful ones have forgotten this phase in their pre-election pledges, but not all have done so and there have been instances in which the anti-partizan idea in the administration of our county offices have been carried out to perfection. In view of these undeniable facts, on what ground can our distinguished neighbor, the Judge, set up his theory of ownership of all the county patronage iu fchape of printing ; and what legitimate, or even partizan, right has he to denounce the Commissioners, aud fling out his silly insinua tions as to their motives for giving us a job of two hundred county bonds to print. Jlis whimperings over the fact might possib ly do credit to a big calf of a school boy. but they are beneath the dignity oj" the profes sion to which he belongs, and reflect no credit on those with whom he claims to rank co-temporary as a public teacher of true aud intelligent manhood. Our distinguished neighbor, the Judge, says many silly things in furtherance of his complaint. Let us look at a few of them brief 11'. He supposes that " our County Com missioners will have a most magnificent lot of bonds." Of this, we will assure, him, there can be no question. We have dealt largely in this line of goods heretofore, and have never yet failed iu giving satisfaction to our patrous, and we don't mean to fail now. As to our facilities to do respectable job work, we think the character of our work will show,and wc know that our experience has proven that it is not necessary to "put thousands of dollars io printing material" to secure and hold pat ronage; and especially is it unnecessary to be so extravagant when, as experience has proved to our distinguished neighbor, the Judge, that ignorant and bungling use of that material has failed to retain for him the particular patronage for which it was pur chased. But, the Judge says we "had to Kind it to the city to have it done"' and why not, if, as is the case, we found there better facilities for doing the work than could be found here aud we saved expense by so doing, to the county. Neither of us were prepared to do a respectable job without extra expense fur ink and other material, that would have had to be purchased from some one who is not "expected to help pay the tax that builds the new jalL" We contracted for the job, and we do help pay that tax, and as we do so and furnish the job without undue cost, we flatter ourself that no wrong is done by the manner in which, and the place where, we have chosen to have the work done, espe daily as we see to having it well and cheaply done. Again : It is not necessary that we repeat our reference to our di.-tinguised neighbor the Judge's boast, of his expenditure of "thousands of dollars iu printing material' and of our paucity in that respect. Suffice it to say that his expenditure was for a spe cific eiass of work, and that what of his ma terial is not rendered useless by bad Jhand Kng is unsuited to the kind of work under con sideration, lie then flings at us what he calls our attempts to "undermine the Democratic party whenever and wherever" we could. smu t?ays me jou was givcu ua us u oui., J .it.- v. 11 Uur neighbor evidently, desires to be sop ped," for on the undermining score we have au idea that he should say as little as pos sible, for but precious little has he ventured to do since his advent among us to strength en and build up his party. Our oppo sition has been manly aud above board, and yet he has never attempted to controvert our positions, bathos sung dumb as a mouse; and the speech of Us copartizans has-been peu in expressions of opinion that it was i bad venture when he was induced to so nerv uiv seize the pen m dclence ol J'lonroe fc-wiv-ty Democracy, Undermine the Demo cracy! Why the talk of the leaders is u- uanimous that the fact that the Democratic party hereabouts has not been totally ruined, is because our distinguished neighbor has beeu so much of a "nix icisscr" that the par ty discovered his true status, and acted inde pendently of a sore, the cure for which a remedy had not yet been discovered. 1 . 1 . 1 1 1 ..gain : vjur uistinguisnca neighbor owns the county patronage because he has "been here in business nearly nine years" and has never received, as "a sop" of course, "the first dollar's worth of job printing for the borough of Stroudsburg Schoch has done it all." Well! Well 11 Too bad!!! Too bad ! ! ! ! We have been here nigh on to forty years, and must confess that we have had some county job work, but nothing to brag of. We have been given County work in the same proportion as our distinguished neighbor. Time will tell. "And we have never solicited it; " What! So says our distinguished neighbor, and wo arc sorry to say that in this he is gulity of an elongation of the truth. lie has not only solicited the work but has offered to do it very cheaply. But the poor Commissioners how they catch it just here. "But there are some " men whose consistency is very limited in "deed. Else some of our Democratic " County Commissioners would not try to patronize the opposition press. This is UUl III- ill ob 11IUU UUiUll.1 , lilt 11U- giv.u Schoch job work frequently. ' ' Poor child! Now it docs whimper over the loss of a job. Its heart is almost broken aud we are almost induced to hand job, pay, and all over to it. But, neighbor, why not put on the boldness of a sheep. Why not, at least put on the semblance of a man, and boldly blurt out the animus which prompts the whole of your diatribe. Why not, feeling the truth speak out right. If you arc afraid, neigh bor, we'll help you, and say to the Commis sioners for you "you refused to buy our lot at an exorbitant price on which to build the new jail, and now, darn you, we'll give you Allentown thunder." That might have ac complished something, but we doubt wheth er the babyish tone of "Those County Bonds," article will scare any one against whom it is so touchingly aud so childishly, yet so vehemently hurled. Whether "those city folks will pay any tax in Monroe county hereafter?" wc think is more than doubtful. We will promise, how ever, not to ask any abatement in our taxes because they did the job in question. That we did not do the job ourself but procured it done was because we thereby saved ex pense that we did not call upon our dis tinguished neighbor to do it, was because we detest botch work and could not consent to have it foisted on the county. SZE PAVIXC OSIDX? ACI, &C. Our distinguished neighbor, the Judge, must have been slightly touched with hydro phobia last week. His disappointment at the non receipt of that job from the Commis sioners must have sent the mad coursing clear through him, and he evidently felt like snap ping at everything that came in his way. And he is, too, so unreasonable iu his mad ness, in the matter now under consideration. The Town Council gave him an ordinauee to publish, and pell mell he rushes into a state almost, indeed quite, bordering on fren zy at its requirements ; and what are these re quirements why that portions of our citi zens, owning property in certain portions of the borough should pave in front of their residences aud lots. Did the Town Council take this step of their own notion ? Certain ly not. They took it only after urgent peti tion of citizens who owned lots in the neigh borhood, and would themselves be compelled to pave at the suggestion of others. In doing this they but exercised an undeniable right, and were, probably better able to judge whether there is "a street in town to-day that is not easily passable in any kind of weather as it is," as is our hydrophobic neighbor. It is an easy matter for the Judge to thus attempt to stay the march of improvement hereabouts and so truly consistent, especially when it is remembered that when he essays to play "My Lord Lofty," in a stroll from his office to his dwelling, or visa versa, he can do so on paved paths, provided by his predecessors in borough affairs by just such an ordinance as he so vehemently denounces; and he can swing clear around the circle, if he so minds, without allowing his feet to touch anything but smooth brick and stone. Aye, but he desires "to remind our citi zens that there is a pressing want that should be satisfied. And what is that want? Why a new school house to be sure. And what has this to do with the paving asked for? Just nothing at all. Our citizens, as a body, have nothing to do with the paving except to use it when passing through the portions of the town where it is asked for, It is the work and expense of the owners of the property bounded by it, and of them alone, enforced by the power of the Council. We might advance a theory for our neighbors school house sensitiveness possibly several of them, but wc forbear for the present. But our neighbor asks "Why don't the Town Council first build a walk up the Academy hill !" Because, we answer, it is not the Town Council's business to do so They have no legal right to do so. They can only enforce its being done, when the School Directors aud other property holders interested ask them to do it. Our neighbor was in position to see this done ; the want was before his eyes every time he went to aud came from his home for the last eight years; as School Director he had power in the premises. Why did he not exercise it? And failing to do it, what right has he now to open his mouth in complaint? But why pursue the subject. As we said before the whole article smacks of hydrophobia of mad ness and a disposition to bite some body. W e hope he feels better now that he has recovered his cquinimity and that he is prewired to-clamly seat himself before a glass and, looking straight aud with judicial stern ness at what he sees within, say, when 1 mourning over "our poor old tumble down school houses, thou art the man, and to such as thec are we beholden for "the miser able condition" of the "tumble down school houses" in which we are compelled to educate our children. Yes, Mr. Judge, you would hit it then exactly, for had you and your compeers taken half the pains to secure pub lic confidence in your directorship, that you did to secure public distrust of your motives, we would now have had a school house we could have looked upon with pride, and walks leading to it which would have secured our children from "getting ankle deep in mud" and prevented them from a "slip and fall on the ice every time they go up and down." It was not opposition to a new school house that prevented this, but opposi tion to the school house so planned in mys tery and secrecy that it was more than the public could guess whether, after all, it was not a ring movement which would result in depriving us of a school house altogether. Borough Election. The election on last Saturday to decide whether the Town Council should be authorised to light the streets with Gas or Oil, or by any other means, and intro duce Water resulted in defeating the light ing of the streets and introduction of Water by a vote of 83 for to 148 against. It is entirely fair to presume that this result was reached through a misunder standing as to the effect of an affirmative vote. Many supposing that Gas and Water would be introduced at once without regard to expense and a tax laid to pay interest and principal of their cost, without any regard to common prudence. Whereas the law regulating the lighting of streets and the introduction of Water, requires that the voters must first vote their approval of lighting the streets and introducing Water, before the Town Council have many right to move in the matter at all. The Council would be limited to a tax of 8 mills on the dollar for these purposes, and could not exceed that sum even if they desired to. The only thing the Council had in view was the lighting of the streets. Gas is now being introduced to our town, and the question was whether we should take advantage of it at once or wait, and in mean time use kerosene, or go in the dark. Last Saturday's vote decides that wc shall go in the dark. Another election we fear will soon be called for to enable all interested to vote undcrstandingly on this question. Those who have never seen a real mili tary hero, a war veteran, should by all means witness the grand parade next Saturday, when such an object will be exhibited. That there may be no mistake in recognizing him we inform our readers that Grand Marshal Amandus Ouevus Greexwald is the man. The uniform of Chief marshal Amax dcs Ouevus was imported from Switzer land especially for the grand parade next Saturday. J&STAmaxdus Ouevus will be the Grand Mogul on the fourth. Why could' nt things have been thusly during the war, Amandus? Council Proceedings. At a special meeting of the Town Council, held at the usual place, on Wednesday even- inr.

Theodore Frederick, a resident o the Delaware Water Gap, while out fishing last Monday, was bitten on the index finger of the right hand by a rattlesnake and is suf fering the most intense pain from the wound The circumstances of the case were about as follows: Mr. Frederick, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Knipe, went fishing and after fish ing some time on the Jersey side of the Delaware river they started to ascend the mountain at a point known as the "Indian Ladder," Mr. Frederick, in reaching up to catch hold of a projecting rock laid his hand upon a huge rattlesnake that lay coiled up on the rock unobserved by Mr. F. He had no sooner laid his hand upon the vermous reptile than it bit him. They killed the snake which measured three feet iu length and had eight rattles. The Rev. Dr. Knipe lanced the wounded linger, and held it in the nver for some time with the hope that free bleed ing and the action of the water would remove the poison. After arriving home the hand and arm was greatly swollen, and couliuued to increase at an alarming rate, causing M F., the most excrutiating pain. All applian ces known to medical science are being used yet it is feared the bite will prove fatal A terrible storm visited Montgomery, Chester aud Berks counties on Sund night.
