WHEELER, of New York. 7.r" The Luzerne Leader, a bright newsy, Democratic sheet about the size of the Jeff, and edited by E. A. Niven has made its appearance in our sanctum. It cives us pleasure to be able to announce that the festival gotten up for that excellent institution, the Hamilton Brass Band, on Saturday last, was a complete success. They richly deserved as much, and we knew they would receive it. C-The Stroudsburg Hayes and Wheeler club met at the club room on Friday evening lat and perfected all their arrangements for the prosecution of a vigorous campaign. In another article we have thrown out some hints which will doubtless suggest themselves to the club as worthy of consideration. Now boys let us go to work with a will. Our cause is worthy of all the time and labor we can Le&tow upon it, and more too. r3 Our distinguised neighbor over the way has been treatiug us, in common with tlic rest of his greatly interested readers, with a full measure of adopted ideas on the sni j:x-t of frauds, political rascalities, general ly laid to the charge of the Republican party by. the piratical portion of the Democratic pivss. The New York Sun, of late has been the principal source from whence he has obtained his ammunition. Now supposing for a change, he gives us an article of his f-vrn get up, on these subjects. We are sat i.stied that it would prove more to the point and vastly more interesting all around. Try 5: neighbor, just for the novelty of the thing, and see if all do not agree that a prophetic mantle has fallen upon our shoulders this tiu;e. Ir looks now as though the water question v.us a fixed, thoroughly settled fact. The 1 ail.kr of the works, Dr. Cloude, we learu Las purchased the large spring belonging to Frederick Phillips, at Foxtown and pledges him.-clf to have water at the Court House in live weeks from Monday next, and judging the Dr. from his appearance we believe he has t lie vim to make his word good. The wh'jle town has really good reason to rejoice over the prospect. I'ic-Nic. There will be a pic nic at Cana densis on .Saturday next, August 5th. for the b' :- tit of the M. E. Church at that place. Conveyances will be at Oakland station on arrival of morning and afternoon trains. Ample accommodation will be made for all a:io may come. This will be a good oppor tunity to see the celebrated Buck Hill Falls, which are about half a mile distant. All are invited to come. .Should the day prove str-nriy the pic-uic will be held on Tuesday foliowimr. Tin: Novelty- Combination Company" gave three entertainments in this place last week. The performances are spoken of in the highest tortus by those who witnessed thein. This is the company which formerly traveled and earned an excellent reputation under the auspioies of our respected towns man, Mrs. Shay, who is accounted by the theatrical world a star in her line of perfor mance. Mrs. S. will appear with the Everett family, at Williams' Hall, on Thurs day. August 3d, in the play entitled "Uncle Tom's Cabin." 1'ersonal. Mrs. Samuel S. Brown, of Williamsport, Fa., i here, visiting friends. Mr. Ed. Levering and lady of Shenandoah City, Schuylkill county, are visiting friends iu this count'. Mr. Decatur Butts and wife, of Janesville, Rock county, Wisconsin, are visiting friends in this 'lace. Hon. YYm. Davis was at Milford, last week, looking after the interest of bis many clients in that section. Miss Lizzie Holliushead, daughter of Wm. Iloli'inshead, of Wisconsin is visiting her relatives and friends hereabouts. James L. Miles, of Phil'a., made us a call on Monday last, and right glad we were to meet our old liieud and see him looking so we!!. Mi.-s Heckle M click residing at Newburg, is veiling her estimable mother, Mrs. Jane Melick in this place. She meets a hearty welcome from her many friends here. Mr. James Smith, the gentlemanly instruc tor of thy Beethoven band, returned on Tuesday evening from Washington, N. J., where he had been visiting his brother and many friends for the past few days. Mrs. Mary Ellen Shelly and child, a former resident of this place, a daughter of Samuel Melick of Newburgh, N. Y., and Mrs. Thomas Miller, of Easton, are in town the gue.-ts of Mr. Reuben Miller. Nc'.on Staples and family, of Evergreen, Alabama, are here, and will remain several weeks. Mr. S. is a brother of Hon. It. S. Staples, and took up his residence in Alabama !so:ue mx years ago. Our former townsman, Theodore G. Wolf, of Scranton, has had the superintendence of the Steel Works at that place added to his supei iulendence of the Rolling Mills. Under his management the steel product has im proved both iu quality and quantity, and give gtvut promise of a still further and more leaked improvement. Good for Dorey. DEMOCRACY. Of all words used in political vocabulary there is none with meauing so utterly con fused and obscure as that of "Democrat," or perhaps it is more correct to say no word is so completely without meaning of any kind, still more correct we would be if we said that no word basso many absurd and inconsistent political meanings. We frequently bear such expressions as "a staunch old Democrat," "a life long Demo crat," "Unwavering Democrat," etc. etc., and we at once know that those to whom these terms are applied, are men who do not reason either in their own minds or with their fellow-men, but doggedly bandaging their eyes and closing their ears, blindly vote for anything and everything that a few leading political tricksters set up for them, only ask ing that the dose, whatever it may be, shall be labelled, "Democrat." Many other names such as "Free Soil" Democrat, "Tariff" Democrat, kc, represent certain men with fixed principles, who do reason, and where these principles are consistent with a free and Democratic Government, and sound for the best interests of our country, these incu will be found at the present day in accord with the Republican party. Whereas "Slav ery Democrats," "Free trade Democrats," "Pierce" Democrats, &c, are the leaders and controllers of the present Democratic part, and it is they who furnish the bandages to the stupid "Staunch" "Life Long" ones. Take Monroe county for a sample, shealwaj's has, and always will give an enormous major ity for the so-called Democratic party. She does not stop to ask what are the principles that the Democratic party of to-day is advo cating; it never occurs to her to compare the principles of the two parties, and see which is most in accordance with her own views; the fact that an immense majority of the free, American, intelligent, people of the Northern states vote Republican, is a matter not worth the consideration of Monroe coun ty, she refuses to reason, she refuses to argue, she does not take the trouble even to read the names on the tickets, she situ ply, and bliudry votes for whatever may happen to be called "Democratic." Ask one of her voters what are. his politics, he answers "I'm a Democrat." What do you mean by "Demo crat?" "I mean I'm a Democrat" and that's all you can get out of him. He don't know, don't care, won't argue, won't listen, won't reason, he knows one thing only. He is a Democrat It's no use talking to him, for though he cannot deny any of the great solid truths of the Republican party, he will conclude by the only argument his prejudiced knowledge box coutains "I'm a Democrat." Now approach one of these "Life Long" Democrats, and, carefully abstaining from any polictical allusions, couverse with him on some of the principal issues of the day. Take the hard or soft money question, the Tariff, the church and state, the states rights, the unsectariau school, the negro, or any of the unsettled questions of the day, and get his views on them, you will find that nine out of ten will express their opinious exactly as sup ported by the Republican party, and exact in contradicton to the Democratic party. And the same man will tell you five minutes afterward that he is a Democrat. The real truth is that he is a Republican, and if these issues were fairly presented to their readers by the political journals, and if the people actually voted in accordance with their true prin ciples, Monroe county would give as large a Republican majority as she does now give to the so-called Democratic. In what manner are the political questions of the day presented to the voters of Monroe county, principally through the "Monroe Democrat?" All the true issues of the canvass, are carefully excluded, just criticism never permitted, but column after column of politi cal "Slush" "Clap Traps" a paper that says in so many words that Gov. Hayes en dorses Belknap! (An honest Republican endorsing a Democratic thief! ! ! ) This is the kind of stuff that makes "Staunch Old Democrats." Gov. Hayes, honorable man that he is, asks of the Republicans' that they will be calm, and discuss the questions before the country iu a brother like manner. This does very well for Ohio, where people vote according to their houest convictions, and where the political papers are compelled by their readers to keep somewhere near the truth. In this county a different course is neces sary; It is the duty of Republicans to take every opportunity, and throw the errors of the Democratic party into the teeth of every Democrat they meet. No use for mild words, here, our opponents are blackguarding us in every way they can. Let us show them where the thieves arc really to be found. Let us show them where rebels are to be found, where every hater of good government and every despiser of the Union is found, and by so showing we will at least bring our people to give our side a hearing, certain that a fair hearing will be equivalent to acouviction, at least to all "Democrats" who at the same time are willing to be considered "Ameri cans." The Irish Jesuitical vote is of course in the hands of its priests, and consequently solid for the Democratic part', so is the German Roman Catholic vote. The vote of every rebel and southern sympathizer is also for the Democratic party. These elements constitute at least three fourths of that party, and of course the Republicans are their natural political enemies, and would not have them if they could, at least not until they have changed their principles. Besides these there is still in the Democratic party, composing perhaps one fourth of it, a class of x.mericans who seem to consider that they must vote as their fathers did before them, and there is also some of the German Protes tant population. These are the misguided ones, who if they would only take the trouble to examine and compare the principles and men of both parties, would see at once that they are voting against their own convictions and assisting to put their natural enemies iu possession of the government. If our protcstant Germans would only study their own fatherland, they would see their brethren there beating down and scat tering the dangerous Jesuit clement. Why should they support this wily 'enemy in their adopted country? Surely their interests are on the side of freedom and iu accord with the free American people of the North ; and their votes had ought to be with the Republi can party; in Ohio and other Western States they are solid with us, why not in Monroe county? Repulicans! press these great truths home to every Democrat you meet! Show him that the Republican party is com posed exclusively of two great clases, viz: "Free" Americans and German Protestants, whilst in the Democratic party are to be found Jesuits (German aud Irish) Rebels and Rebel sympathizers, Tweeds and Belknaps without numbers, soft money, hard money, states rights, free trade, tariff, bible and no bible, anything and everything that is discord ant, inconsistent and destructive of the Free institutions of these United States. Who can tell what principles Gov. Tilden would consider himself bound by in case of his election ? His party is in such a state of confusion, advocates so many different ideas, the "rough" clement predominating so largely; the American people should beware of trusting the government at such a critical period in hands where there is so much discordance. The Republican party can point with pride to its record. It saved the country from the machinations of the same Rebels who are now to get Democratic votes, and so long as it holds the reins, there will be no more seces sion, no Jesuits, no kicking Bibles out of schools, no assumption of the Rebel debt, no murdering Negros, no "States Rights," no "Spoils;" on the contrary there will be a safe and consistent set of men in office, a steady diminution of the public debt, an earnest effort to bring back specie payments, houest payment of all debts and no repudia tion, and above all the States will remain united, free aud respected by all other nations, whereas under Democratic rule, we would be and deserve to be despised. G . . Now that the organization ball has been set in motion by the organizing of a Hayes aud Wheeler club in Stroudsburg, we hope to see the speedy establishment of similar clubs throughout the county. There is hardly a township but what could furnish membership for such a club, and in townships where Republican's are even scarcer than "white mice" the interests of the party could be looked after by the club of the townships most convenient thereto. We cannot bring ourself to the belief that there is a single representative of the party who would not be strengthened in his faith and led to the work of con verting others if he was properly backed by earnest men of the party living within easy visiting distance, and no township in the county is without this convenience certainly Iu Polk, Chestnuthill, Ross, Hamilton, Pocono, Coblbaugh, Barret, Price, Tobyhan na, Smithfield, Middle Smithfield, Stroud and East Stroudsburg there are the material for making up excellent clubs ; some of them of small and others of large membership, but in all earnest, thoroughgoing Republicans who, as the past assures us, can make their influence felt to the party's great advautage if they only make up their minds to do it. To induce these to work in this light is one of the duties of the Stroudsburg club, and thus by conferring with the brcthern personally, by correspondence and by every other fair and houorable means which will lead them to feel the importance of union for the sake of union, and of union for the sake of the defeat of the same old enemy which sixteen years ago, and for five years after united in a determined effort to destroy our national Union. It needs nothing but a proper wak ing up of our country friends to a recollection of this fact to cause them to rush to the field, and, as in the days of yore, fight again the battles for the preservation of liberty and the union. Iiet us start the ball in this direc tion at once, and there is no telling what a glorious result may reward our efforts in November. With united action we can ac complish much. Without it we can accom plish nothing with even chances that we hold our own. TllF. glorious rains which have visited this place during the pa.t week put a most re freshing look upon the face of vegetation hereabouts. Their value can hardly be estimated. Mr. W. II. Stuart, the business mana ger of John Denier's celebrated European Combination Troupe, is in town makinsr arrangements for the company, who will appear in this place three days next week. . O . Accidents. Mr. Lorenzo Smith, of this Borough, whilst chopping wood, on Mon day morning last, came very near severing the index finger of the left hand. Dr. Geo. W. Jackson, was called and administered to his wants. Middle Smithfield,) Aug. 2d, 1870. j Editor of Jeffcrsonian .-The following local I forward for your paper. On Tuesday of this week as "William Pipher, of Middle Smithfield, was putting away his revolver in his room, it was acci dently discharged, the ball entering his left hand, (the palm,) thence taking its course to the index finger, striking one of the bones, coming out above the inner surface of the Trapezoid bone. Dr. A. C. Yansyckle, a medical student of the University of the City of New York, visiting at the time the Itev. Mr. Harris, of this place, was called in to dress the wound, which he did witli great surgical skill, to the profession which he is about to enter upon. Yours. II. Sheriff's Sales. Sheriff Shafer, on Saturday last, sold the following properties: Morris R. Stone and wife's property, situate on Ann street, in this borough, to the Building and Loan Association, for $1,000. Philip Koohlers property, situate in Bar rett township, to Charles lvoehler, for $2iH). . A valuable horse belonging to Darius D re her, in this borough, died on Sunday morning last. This is the second horse Mr. D. has lost within two weeks. Communicated. Modern Boarding Schools. The Female mind has hitherto been con sidered as a sort of fancy bazar, in which all kinds of light articles are to be stowed away without regard to order or utility. . If we could unlock the stores of female knowledge, such, at least, as the modern boarding school supplies we should fiud an extraordinary conglomeration of miscellaneous goods, bads, and indiffcrents, which though some-how or other reduced under one head, and that not alwa3's a strong one, are brought into a state of "disorder" which is, by us, at least, any thiug but "admired." If we might be per mitted the privilege of examining phrenologi cally the interior of a young lady's head, we should find not only, what but how com pletely modern education has done for it. We will take any average boarding-school Miss, and instead of turning her organs into finger-organs, by merely passing our hands over the exterior bumps, we will take the liberty of breaking her head at once, and look ing directly into it. We find const ructicen ess in a state of en tanglement with the quantity of crotchet and other fancy work in which it is completely bound up for want of some more useful mat ter for the employment of this valuable qual ity ; and on looking to the organ of Imitation, we see it exercised on a parcel of the most rediculous airs aud affectations, to say noth ing of more dangerous qualities, set before it for the purpose of calling into practice its powers of copying. As to number, its whole capacity seems to be concentrated on number one ; and comparison is clogged up with en tire wardrobes, as if the ouly use of compari son to the female mind was to be its apprecia tion to the respective hats, dresses, and articles oLmillinery worn by friends, enemies, or acquaintances. Causality shows us an iustance of something like an appropriate ap plication of the organ ; for it is intended to be one of inquiry, and it is exercised certainly in a questionable manner, for it is constantly directed, by the modern system of female education, to the askiug, how it is an "estab lishment" is to be gained? or, why it is that one person has succeeded iu getting a bus band before another ? Eventuality is devoted to the cognizance of no more important events than births, deaths, and marriages ; while forui, size, and color are exercised re spectively on the noses, mustaches, and eyes of the other sex, the organ ot weight being brought to bear on the estimating of bank er's balances. Order, goes wholesale to the dress-maker's ; Ideality knows nothing of any ideal but a Lean: and time and tune are clogged with all sorts of airs, calling into op peration dfxtructivcaess, as far as the keys of au instrument are concerned, and secretice- ness, as far as any meaning is conveyed by the means of so much labor. Having brought ourselves to the sad conclusion that the examination of a fashionably-educated female head reveales nothing but faculties mis-em ployed, and valuable material wasted on w hat is not material at all, we cannot but express a wish that ladies preperatory school could be established, in which the pupils might be fitted for the useiul, as well as the ornamental parts of life, and whore the fact of there being a kitchen as well as a parlor to every house would not be altogether lost sight of. If the world could begot through in a polka, to the accompaniment of an C'oriut-a piston, the boarding-schools of the present day would be well enough ; but as there is a sort of cvery-day walk to be gone through we should greatly appreciate any system of female education that should fit women to get through the world with us, instead of merely getting through our money.

Dear little darling thou art gone, Thy charms scarce to thy parents known ; Removed -:o soon, so suddenly, Took from thy fond mother's watchful eye; What had'st thou done, dear baby, say? So early to be snatched away. What ! gone forever to be seen no more, Forever we thy loss deplore. At hi residence in Barrett township, in this County, on the 17th u!t., Stqthen II.
