EI)c SclFcrsonian. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1875. The Democratic Senatorial Convention. Pursuant to arrangement tlic delegates elected on Saturday, the 2Sti ult. met at the (iurt House, in convention, on last Mon day at 2 o'clock 1'. M., and, after being du ly organized, proceeded to ballot, when Gen. Krr.NKTT was nominated for State Senator by a vote of 26 to 15 for Mr. John Cool baugh. Mr. R. 11. Depue not allowing his name to be used before the convention. Wc cannot doubt that Gen. Burnett will make an excellent State Senator. His na tural and acquired capacity together with his experience, fit him to take a high staud in the Scuatc from the start; and since we must have a Democratic Senator in this dis trict, we can say that wc are well satisfied with the result Wc take to ourselves a little pride iu hav ing correctly indicated on several occasions during the canvass for the nomination, that the Gen. had the inside track. Tiik two prevailing nuisances tramps and I ota to bugs. Ir is a boj' and the whole party are hap py. So are we. Segars Ed. Uxrivk fruit and cramps are all the rage. Brandy and sugar in demand. Look out fur counterfeit tens on the First National Bank of Philadelphia. The Guangeus wont stick, at least some of our aspirants for Senatorial honors think so. At Greenville, Alabama, the finest kind f peaches are selling at twenty cents a bushel. The potato bugs are holding conventions on our streets, where they congregate in large numbers. When you get a bill changed have an eye on the fifty cent pieces, counterfeits about, you know. . . The Presuytekian pic-nicheld last Tues day in Smith's woods, was hugely enjoyed by all who participated. : o- The raising of the side-walk from the iron bridge to Goucher's, is one of the wisest steps taken by our city fathers. A fine street lamp has been erected in front of the Monroe County Bank. It is a beautiful and useful ornament. Hon. Stoudell Stokes, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this place, cel ebrated his S7 birth day on Mouday, the 'Mlh ult. Two Italians appeared on our streets on Monday morning last with a trained bear, which performed a number of feats, to the amusement of all beholders. "That looks business like," is what one f our prominent physicians said a few days ago, when three wagons loaded with melons a rid other fruits passed his office. No doubt. . . Postmaster Appointed. The Postmas ter General has appointed Jerome I rantz, post-master, at "Mountain Home," this County, io place of Jeremiah Kresge, re signed. Chicken thieves gave Mr. John Frankeu field a call last week and "gobbled" up a few of his turkeys. Three of the fowls were found in a fence comer close by with their legs tied together and their throats cut. " When that eld hat was new." A Mas sachusetts man has what is probably the oldest hat in the country, it being two hun dred and twenty-fny years old, and the wedding hat of one of the original settlers of the State. A Port Jervis girl left her clothing in ;u open boat and hid herself, and when her parents were crying and saying if they only had her back they would obey her slight est wish, she appeared and said she wanted to marry George. Xear a camp meeting in the vicinity of Pittsburg, watermelons sold on Saturday at one dollar apiece. This was considered a high price, but examination showed that each melon was stuffed with a fifty cent 1 xttle of whiskey. o. It is very "unpleasant" for a young man to fall over wheel-barrows, milk pots, slop buckets, &c. when trying to steal an inter view with his sweetheart. lie took it good naturedly, however, fur he came out singing, "0, won't you conic dawn to Limerick." - . . The Sunday School picnic of St. John J-vangelic-d Lutheran Church, was held in Kautz's woods last Thursday. The Strouds burg Cornet Band under the able leader hip of Sjtering Shafer, enlivened the fes tivities with their presence. The old folks were happy ; the young folks were happy ; in fact every body was happy. The Rev. l)x;tor Mt'RPiiY of Xorri.-lown, i this State, preached in the M. E. Church, this Borough, on lust Sunday, both iu the morning and evening. In the morning his subject was Faith. In the eveuing his sub ject was the Lost Siuucr, whom Christ came to save. The subjects were ably handled, and ren dered very iiitere.-:ii:ig and m-tru'.tive to all -.esi.irs. An eminent English physician has dis covered that asparagus and celery, if taken in sufficient quanities, are specifics for acute rheumatism. A Philadelphia druggist has broken up the soda water trade of that city by introducing mead as a substitute, and sell ing it for five cents a glass. Xevek in the history of our State has there been such an extensive advertising of properties at Sheriff's sale as at the present time. In Bradford county there arc advertised 124 ; "Westmoreland, S3 ; Tioga, S3 ; Luzerne, Gl ; Huntingdon, 43 ; Cumberland, CO; Clinton, 24; Mifflin, 14; Jefferson, 13; fce. &c. This is clearly an indication of hard times, and that money is scarce. For twelve or fourteen years past the Republicans have controlled the affairs of Pennsylvania. Its debt are paid at maturity and its bonds command a premium. In Virginia, alwa-s Democratic, neither in terest or principal of its State bonds is paid, and repudiation is openly and persistently threatened. Which party has managed the better, and which is deserving of sup port ? - Bev. Thomas P. Hunt, widely known as "Father Hunt," and for his lifelong advocacy of temperance principles, is an nounced to address a number of Republican meetings in the western part of the State during the next two weeks. He is an efficient public speaker, and will no doubt give good reasons for declining to support a third-party ticket for the benefit of the Democrats. A man named Miller, who has furnish ed the Government with valuable informa tion in regard to the frauds of the Whiskey King, was shot in Chicago a few days ago. There is no doubt that it was done to pre vent him testifying in the prosecutions now pending, as he is expeceted to prove an im portant witness. Happily the shot was not fatal, and Miller has been placed under safe protection for the present. The Commissioners of Schuylkill county were tried and convicted last week for misdemeanor in office. They had expended a large sum in erecting a public building, without letting it out by contract, and had also violated the statute forbidding anv County Commissioner or Treasurer being interested in the public work. Sentence was deferred by Judge Pershing to await a decision on a motion for a new trial. This case will probably direct attention to a very prevalent abuse. Official returns of the census of Wisconsin have now been received from all the counties of the State, and foot up a total population of 1,237,090, making an increase of 1S2,020, which is 171 percent, in five years a very handsome increase. There has been a pretty close race between Iowa, Wisconisin, and Michigan in popula tion for a number of years. It looks as if Wisconsin was drawing ahead of her com petitors. She was the lightest of the three in 1S70, but may lead them in 1SS0 if she keeps up the present rate of growth. The following were elected officers of the Pennsylvania teachers' association, which met in Wilkas-Barre recently : Presi dent, llou. J. P. Wickcrsham ; vice presi dents, Jesse Xewlin, Schuylkill county, Miss Jennie Leonard, Indiana state normal school. Executive committee, Robert Curry, deputy state superintendent ; A. X. Raub, Clinton county ; Seldon Coffin, Lay fayette college; Miss Field, Bucks county; George L. Morris, West Chester state nor mal school. Mr. Xewlin was also appointed a delegate to represent the Pennsylvania State teachers' association, which meets at Saratoga next summer. The Potato Bugs go too Far. The Morristown (X. J.) Republican says : Morristown gentleman, on a visit to the sea coast last week, was told by fishermen that the Atlantic beach was liued with millions of dead Colorado bugs, washed up by the waves. People resorting to the cost lor the purpose of enjoying saltwater bath ing, have noticed the same fact. In au at tempt to 'Go East,' the bug has been fortunately drowned. It is hoped that the entire family will follow, and meet the fate of their drowned predecessors. It is pos l- ble that in this way we may get rid of thi annoying host." Reports received by the Republic; State Committee from different parts Pennsylvania represent that the political campaign is in a very encouraging condi tion. Iu nearly all the counties of the interior the party is united and harmonious, and disposed to put forward its best efforts at the November election. The prospect for carrying the State, was never better at this .stage of the campaign. Our informa tion from private sources is to the same effect. The State Committee will this week open its headquarters in Philadelphia, and from that point will manage the details of the campaign. Arrangements will be made to supply speakers where they arc needed, and to furnish information to those who require it. The Committee is well organized, and its oHicers arc thoroughly r.equaintcd with the political situation in the State. Good judges are of the opinion that the point of extreme depression iu railroad property has passed. The Stroudsburg Cornet Band, furnished the music for the Cherry Valley Sunday School pic-nic, held near Bossardsville, yes terday. Those who were present say the boys acquitted themselves nobly. The mosquitoes have been relentless in presenting their bills the past two weeks. Their bills have received more attention, too, than many wc have sent out to different sub scribers. Some heavy failures occurred in different parts of the country last week. The first was of the Bank of California, a fiscal in stitution with five millions of capital, most of which was controlled by a single person. The bank, it is said, will pay all its debts. This bank has always enjoyed the highest credit, and has never before ceased to re deem its notes in gold. It was not a national bank. This failure was followed by that of another financial corporation in San Francisco, known as the National Gold Bank, which is said to have $1,300,000 of surplus over its liabilities. The cause of these suspensions is said to have been losses by outside speculations. In Baltimore the large sugar-importing firm of Sterling, Ahrens & Co. suspended on Wednesday, owing, it is said, to the shrinkage in the value of molasses. These disasters have caused some uneasiness in financial matters, but the disturbance is not likely to be o Personal. Dr. A. II. Davis was in town, ou a short visit, last Saturday. Doc. seems to enjoy good health, judging from appearance. Col. John Schoonover, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, a former resident of Smithfield, near Bushkill, is paying a brief visit to his friends in this county. The Uol. favored us with a call and we were pleased to see him looking so well. Miss Altiia Huston, daughter of Mr. Robert Huston, took her departure from this place last Monday for Bethlehem, Pa., where she expects to complete her education at the Moravian Seminary. A large num ber of her friends tendered her a farewell so ciable at her father's residence, last Satur day evening. The affair was a pleasant one to all who participated. Miss Mary Dreher, daughter of Mr. Da rius Dreher, accompanied by her mother, went to Bethlehem, a few days since, for the purpose of sharpening up her ideas, educa tionally, at the Moravian Seminary. Ciias. McIntyre, a graduate from the office over the way, is engaged in the me chanical department of the Portland Enter- prise. Charley is a clever lellow, a wortny representative of the "art preservative" and has our best wishes. Lawn Cottage, Aug. 27, 1S75. Dear Jefferson ian: In a recent letter from Paris, Lucy Hoop er, writes, the fashionable color, this fall aud winter is to be a very darJc green for walking dresses and demi-toilettes. Silver grey will also be much worn, form ing quite a stylish contrast with the dark- green. Felt is to be worn, the same as last winter The fashionable trimmings will be the os trich plumes, small bright-tinted birds, and wings. IS". 1 1?Y AU the lauies ot ctrouusourg will I am sure be glad to know the tightly tied-back apron over skirt is to be discarded, in favor of the graceful long tunics, nearly touching the ground in front, looped up at the sides, and slightly droned behind. Ladies will not look any longer like walkiug umbrella cases, a certain amount of fullness being restored to the skirts, and there is even talk of introdu cing small sized crinoline for the bottom of dresses merely. I for one extend a vote of thanks to the "twrmu of fashions," for the improvement on the present style. Lace, wide silk braid and fringe, the latter of silk aud chanille, are to be the favorite trimmings. Short walking dresses, to con tinue for which sensible conclusion we have every reason to be thankful. Out-door garments are to be of the half- fitting jaunty jackets of a few years back, which possesses the merit of being adapted to any figure or style. It is said the Empress Eugene has cx pressed a desire to be present at the Ccnten uial next year. And in all probability she and her son, will be numbered among the distinguished strangers who will visit Phila delphia at that time. Dethroned, and living in a foreign land - though she is still an Em press expressing such a wish, pays Ameri ca the highest compliment a lady can be stow, one winch we cannot tail to appreci ate aud wish her God speed to our shores. Cecilia. Burglars Arrested at Scranton. Scranton, Fa., August 25. Augustus and Edward Stcinback and Jacob Seinglcr, burglars, were arrested here to-day. They had in their possession a large quantity of stolen goods, which was identified by .Mr Wheelock, of Wyoming county, whose store had been robbed on the loth inst., as be longing to him. The prisoners were held for trial. The Maine election occurs on the 13th of September. The campaign is being vi gorously waged, and the vote promises to be unusallv heavy. The election will have for one of its effects the adoption or rclee- tion by the jKJople of a series of constitu tional amendments, the most important oi which provide for general laws as opposed to special legislation, for the Executive ap pointment of municipal judiciary and police, and for the exclusion from the right of suf frage for ten years of all persons bribing or beiti bribed at elections. Base Ball. On Wednesday of last week the Caldenos sustained their first defeat of the season, their conquerors being the Randolphs of Dover, N. J. It was a great day for base ballists in Stroudsburg and at two o'clock a crowd of some four or five hundred persons, in cluding many ladies were assembled on the Fair Grounds to witness the play. The Randolphs have a high reputation and claim to be the best club in New Jersey. They have played thirteen games this season and lost but two, one of them by the famous Trenton club. Our boys had'nt an idea of beating them, but desired to compare them selves with such a niuc to see about what they could do with a first class team. Game was called with the Randolphs to field. Marsh struck out quickly before the swift and peculiar pitching of Mahancy, Walton had two strikes called and was then caught off his cuard and a third and out were Ids fate, McIntyre hit to Schenck and was out at first ; Lockman and Cain got their bases, the latter on a badly judged ball by Schoch, Wadsworth blocked a fair foul and got first, Wadsworth was caught between bases and run out by Huston, Schenck and West striking out, Lockman and Cain having scored. One inning score 2 to 0 for Randolph. Holmes led off for Caldenos with a base hit to right and took first, got second on passed ball, Hayes out at first from Chandler, Schoch and Huston got base hits, Logan out on foul fly to Chandler, Zeigler hit to Wadsworth and out at first, Holmes and Schoch having scored runs. Mahaney hit to Walton and out at first, Smith got a base hit, stole second, Chandler hit a fair foul which McIntyre got to Holmes at third in time to capture Smith, Munson out at first Walton to Hayes no runs, two innings score 2 to 2. Marsh and Walton got their bases for the Caldeno's opening of third, McIntyre out on foul fly to Chandler, Holmes got first and round to third on a wild pitch, attempting to run in on the same was caught at home plate by Mahaney, Hayes struck out, Walton and Marsh having scored. Lockman got a two base hit, Cain hit to McIntyre and out at first, Wadsworth and Schenck got bases, the latter on a heavy two baser to left centre, West out from Walton to Hayes, Mahaney on fly to Walton, Schenck left at third, two runs, three innings score 4 to 4. Schoch opened fourth inning by going out on fly to Lockmau, Huston got first, Lo gan hit to left and was caught by Cain and by a fine throw of latter to first Huston was caught by Lockman, a fine double play Smith got first, Chandler hit to left and Smith was caught at second on Zeigler's throw in, Munson hit towards third, McIn tyre sent ball to Holmes to catch Chandler too late, but Munson immediately caught in trying to get second, Lockman previously out on fly to Walton, no runs four innings score 4 to 4. Logan opened the ball for Caldenos b) going out on foul fly to Smith, Zeigler out on foul bound to Chandler, Marsh out at first from Mahancv. no runs. Lockman opened with a two-baser, Cain out on fou fly to Logan, Wadsworth hit to Holmes who made a low swift throw to first, fol lowed it up ou the next hit by another and then ensued a scries of most wretched plays and throws indulged in by nearly all of the nine ; it seemed impossible to make decent play, Huston, Hayes, Walton, McIntyre and Holmes each making most disastrous attempts in throwing; fiually when Mahaney had been caught at the home plate from Schoch to Logan and Chandler was out on fly to Huston they had scored thirteen runs five innings, score 17 to 4. Walton opened sixth inning with a base hit, McIntyre followed with a good one, Walton caught at third, Chandler to Smith, Holmes caught by Wadsworth, Hayes got a base hit, Schoch got a good one for two bases, Huston out on fly to Wadsworth, one run. Munson and Lockman caught by Schoch, Cain out on foul bound to Logan, no runs, six innings score 17 to 5. Lotran hit to Smith out at first, Zeigler out at first, Marsh a base hit, Walton out at first from Wadsworth no runs. Wads worth and Schenck base hits, West out at first from Walton, Mahaney a base hit, Smith caught by Hayes, Chandler out at first, Holmes to Hayes, two runs, seven innings score 19 to 5. McIntyre got first, Holmes out at first from Schenck, Hayes aud Schoch, base hits, Huston out on fly to Smith, Logan ou fou fly to Chandler, three runs. Munson out on fly to Walton, Lockman got first but out at second on Cain's hit to Holmes, Wadsworth a base hit, Schenck and West bases, when Mahaney out on foul fly to McIntyre, two runs eight innings score 21 to 8. Zeigler got first ou called balls, and got clear round on wild pitch, Marsh out on foul bound, Walton and McIntyre base hits, Holmes out at first from Mahaney, Hayes got a magnificent three base hit, Schoch a base hit, Huston out on fly by Cain, four runs. Smith out on fly to Huston, Chand ler a base hit, out at second on Munson's hit to Holmes, Lockman caught by Marsh, no runs and score 21 to 12. Both clubs played finely, excepting dur ing the "panic" in the Caldeuo's fifth field ing inning, though the rough ground aided the batsmen materially. Logan, the Culdeuo catcher, was struck on the chin by a foul tip in seventh inning and severely injured his jaw being thought broken at first, but after a little doctoring he resumed play and in course of a few minutes had his hand split, he continued to play however, and played finely througout the game. It will be seen by a glance at the score that our boys would have played a fine game with their skillful opponents but for the "panic," the fifth inning should have given the Randolph's one run, when the score would have been 12 to 9 in favor of our boys.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Nathan Sha fer of the Indian Queen Hotel presented the Caldenos with a box of choice cigars, and the boys evidently appreciated the gift.

Chapters in Clironicles. CHAFrmt i. And it came to pass in the j-ear of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy- five, that several young men of our beauti ful town, while engaged in nocturnal rambles, contemplating the pleasures and benefits de rived from sojourning in distant lands, re solved that they and their tribes would rise up on the morrow and depart for Bushkill Fulls. And it came to pass the following day, that they began to prepare mightily for their departure. And when they had gathered together their leaders, a doctor said : "Let us go out among our people and hasten the matter." Howbeit the Levitcs hastened it not. They began to question whether to go or not to go. And again they said this thing tricth our hearts and muddlcth our brains. For three days and three nights they strug gled mightily to choose what they would do. On the morning of the 4th day, ere the cock crew thrice, these afilictcd ones, exhausted by the expenditure of brain power, and over come with the strongest emotions, with stam mering tongues muttered "We will not go." And it came to pass ou the 24th of August, the day appointed for the going out of the faithful Isrealitcs, that the different tribes came forth, heavily laden with spices, pick les, pies, cakes, bread, beef, ham, jam, and roasted hen. First comcth Elizabeth, daugh ter of Samuel and grand daughter of Moses, accompanied by Clara a fair daughter of Di vinity. When Charles, the Tanite, bringeth the five virgins, Leeds, Collins, Sayre, Kern, and Fvans, shining like a sunbeam in a drop of dew. And now comcth Maggie and Dolly who, like the liliies of the valley, toil not neither do they spin. And then Helen a Grecian princess who, forgetting in the ecsta cies of the hour her lofty station, either cooed like a dove or chattered like a swallow. Soon Amazariglc of the house of Jacob ap peared unto the multitude leaning heavily ou his staff, looking exceedingly wise. Then comcth 31utchler, the good Samaratiu with healing oil for wounded hearts. And now comcth Jenuie a Kohlerite with a gentleness possessed by none save those whose hearts are true, beautiful and good. Mary the daughter of Jeremiah comcth with light and airy tread, holding forth an atlas of biblical geography iu which she poiuts out to the excited pilgrims the valley of Je hoscphat. Rachel of the house of Daniel rushed forth, stirring up u mighty wind as her trailing garments swept into the chariot Roanoke. Then comcth three merry mai dens Mary, Lidia, Hester and Alice followed by Lizzie a Baldwinite supported by the youthful Oscar. And now there was seen at a distance the comical Hessian who sung out to the depart ing host "wait I am coming" "By Hank ers." The confusion then became great, when suddenly appeared Keller a 1'hysiciau and notorious Gabite who silenced the clam orous throng by constantly gabbling squills, pills and Omnibus bills. Then comcth Andre, a notorious Gaditc, the lu oud owner of the pony that ruined poor old Baal, and consequently he was seen ma king huge strides down the slope of God frey's Hill, ere the dawn of day. lie was picked up iu the street by his friend the Gab ite and placed in the chariot Roanoke. And lastly comet h Gustavus Adolphus, an ancient duu hman. He comcth with a rush, and the roar of his voice and uostrils was like unto a mighty whirlwind. Thus these pilgrims were assembled and they were legion. ciiaptku u. ' .n(1,itlcan, to laSi as Amazariah stretch ciJ forth his staff, the chariot carrying these tribes moved oil toward the cast, and the sound of the chariot wheels died away in the distance. Aud when they had gone on their way one league, Keller, the Gabite, stood up on his chariot as the congregations came forth from out of the valley on a .sunny plain and behold tho comical Hessian, the youth ful Oscar and tunny dutchman gathering car rots an-l other flowers and scattering 'them prolusely among the maidens. He witness ed t he crushing of Hester's rose by the Tan ite, and the meandering of the lovely ttcr of chanty by the road side, mid then walked away, working out hi Omnibus Hill. J the meantime the good Samaritan was id upon by a goodly minder of musculo virgins and pressed almost to the last breath when suddenly he w-as soon to emerge beneath a huge pile of shawls, cloaks anj capes, leaving behind him the imprint oV-, chestnut burr on the beautiful hand f 11',: ,'. abeth, daughter of Samuel.

And then tiny began to shout and sing on account of ti,u. great gift of fruit, while Keller, the GahitL. worked out his Omnibus Bill. At the end of the fourth hour these congregations ,!e!. cended from their chariots and pitched their tents in the east of the wilderness. they were glad and merry in heart, brought their coffee pots, l!esh hooks a!,'ti tongs made of cedar. Then the jolly 1 lessen stirreth the flames and parclnth the corn and Hester steweth the coffee and Mary, on' of the five virgins, queen of the Taiine spreadeth the tables, and the ancient Dutch! man muddleth his brains over a horse (oatin oats out of a sack) becoming a mail ant' while the Gaditc forgeteth his Omnibus J'.j'j and rendcreth service in preparing the table!.' Then good old AmazaViah raised his staV'" and commanded the multitude to sit dow'u to the feast. And now Mary Lidia scaljJih Andre, the poor Gabite with hot coffee, ajj a corn cob greatly disturbed Hester and the Hessian under a tree. And great was the bustle in the devastation of tables. Larue "and small were filled, and there were taken up of fragments, several baskets full CIIAPTKU III. And now when the young men and women had arisen from the tables the Hessian gathered them together and passed throu-'di the brambles and scrub oaks on their way lo the Falls. And when they came within the sound of the cataract, they saw the camp of the enemy pitched across their way. Then the valiant men were set in battle array and as good old Amazariah raised his stall', the host moved up the Hill of evil counsel to attack the castle of the iuiposter Wicks. But Wicks had lied long before, leaving his impudent agent to dispute the wav. n 1 IT there at the entrance of the way to the rapid-;, caged in rails of cedar, sat this evil a.-j-j, with a satanic grin si relchcd acru face from North to South.

And as they came out en the highway there were joyful .-otigs mingled with the rattling of dishes and t'an-ing of pails. Suddenly the ponderous wheels uf the Roanoke crushed the Dutchman's ovi r coat. And thus, on occunt of this he givei'i vent to his pent up wrath.

And darkness overtook them ami then the young men tamdit the young the vales uf punctuation. Charles the Tauiie. and the youthful Oscar showed the application of the parenthesis, and Andre the Gaditc owing to the stiffness of his joints failed in the curves of the parenthesis and struck au altitude like unto a brackets. The good old Amazariah and the persecu ted Samaritan, with fear and trembling get no further than the interrogation puint. The Hessian struck a dash for Clara, Leeds, and Collins six foot long. And, finally, they reached the home ef their fathers in duo seasoti rejoicing in the. good time they had.
