WHEELER, of New York. -The Haves and Wheeler club, at their meeting on Fridaj' evening last, was fairly started in the good work. Some forty odd persons joined the club, and many more are coming to help swell the popular vote in favor of the good honest who were named the standard bearers of the great Republican party. During the meeting the Beethoven Laud made their appearance in front of the hall and rendered several of their excellent piece, in fine style. fiSTTilden and Hendricks have been heard from. Their letters appeared on Saturday last and are longer than the moral law. They have said nothing new and they said it in such a way that the wonder is that they hesitated so long about saying it. Thirty seven days were occupied in conferences made necessary by the differences of opinion that existed between the candidates. The fight wis a hardly contested one and the victory for a time doubtful, but the letters show that if any thing Hendricks and inflation came out ahead and that Samuel J. Tilden, the im maculate hard money saint was compelled to join his party in its least of crow. Both the writers make a pretense of holding out the idea that the most perfect harmony prevailed throughout their several conferences, but if the assertions of newspaper correspondents are true they are the heaviest specimens of harmonious "hair pins" the world has yet seen. If they believed at first what their let ters representing as believing now they have insulted their party by not promptly announc ing their acceptance within twenty-four hours nfter i he receipt of notice of their nominations. Instead of that they have held their party in suspense for thirty-seven days, have invoked Congress to repeal the resumption clause of the act of 1ST.) to make the way smoothe to them, aud did divers other crooked things to the great disgust of the country including all the se nsible members" of the party. Our dis tinguished neighbor over the way will of course think it all right, but he will find precious few to really aree with him. What a contrast between the conduct of Tilden and HenJrick's and that of Hayes and Wheeler. firs We cannot, if we wish to accomplish any groat amount of good politically here in Monroe this fall, have the general organiza tion of the party throughout the county per-pee-ted too soon, and work should be com menced having that end in view at once. But our brethren residing in the county should bear in mind that the duty lies more with them than with us of making prepara tion for the formation of clubs and working the people up to that pitch of enthusiasm which will secure the interest of all in the campaign. We last week gave a square, and, as nobody will dispute, a fair definition of modern Democracy. We set forth what even Democrats will admit, that to be a Democrat, as understood hereabouts, means neither more nor less than to permit a few self-constituted leaders who are as ignorant of the distinctive principles which divide the two parties as are the persons who suffer themselves to be led by them. We also set forth what were the real objects of modern Democracy and how they hoped to effect them. This we did so very affectually that a doubt need no longer linger on the mind of any one, and wc conceive that it but needs that this matter be properly and unceasingly worked up to draw hundreds of the men who are at least Republicans from the ranks of this body of cheats, who have thus far worked upon the fears and loves of their deluded followers for their own unworthy personal aggrandizement. The best means of accom plishing this end is without a doubt club meetings where sentiments can be exchanged, and where speeches, documents and free con versation will be on hand to aid in bringing the truth squarely forward. In this work the country must take the initiative, under the assurance that in every thing needful they will have the hearty co-operation of the town club, already organized and at work. Will our country friends think this matter over, and prepare for work at once. Every man, in this laud of the free should make politics an every day study, and of course every man should be a politician. In other countries having those who exercise political power through the so-called "Divine right," politics may in the private citizen be looked upon by the rulers as a superfluity. Here however, the people are the rulers aud the office holders the servants, though for want of intelligence properly to exercise their prerogative, the party leaders have reduced the fact to a mere myth, and in consequence the servants have in reality become the mas ters and control things pretty much to suit themselves. This is an evil which must be eradicated if we desire to maintain the idea of a sovereign people intact, and to this cud every man, no matter what his position in life, has it incumbent upon him to not only study the ordinary political lessons of the day, but even to extend his researches into the higher realms of statesmanship. Heeding this proposition we shall all bo better able to watch the tricks of the political charletans, find make our government what it was really designed to bo a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The Cornet band of this place will partici pate in the grand pic nic to be held at Pleasant Valley on the 17th inst. . Read Gen. Tut tic's speech on the first page of to-day's J i:ff. in which he defines his reasons for leaving the Democratic party. . o For general promenading and special swinging on the gates, the evenings could not have been more pleasant than for a week past. -O' A monument costing $6,000 has been raised over the grave of the late Jacob Singmaster, of this place, at Fairview Ceme tery, Allentown, Fa. We regret to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Charles Ilinton, of Brodheadsville, in this county. lie died on Monday last, and leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss. Nine car loads of soldiers from Luzrenc and Susquehanna counties bound to the Centennial encampment near Philadelphia, passed down the D. L. & W. road on Fri day last. Music. Peters' Musical Melodies for August is on our table and is filled with some of the finest selections of vocal and instru mental music found in auj monthly of the kind. Mr. GEORfiE C. Strunic, of Shawnee, last week shot a Bald Eagle, near the Delaware, at Shawnee, which measured from tip to tip of wings 7 feet 1 inch, and weighed 15 pounds. The price of admission to the Berks County Agricultural Fair, this fall, is to be fifteen cents for single adult tickets, and ton cents each for children's tickets. No family tickets will be issued. Work was commenced on the Water works on Friday last. The critics pretend to say, after examining the work done that the commencement of the work looks like a bad beginning of what may prove a bad job. After the meeting of the Ilaj-es and Wheeler club, on Friday evening, the Beetho ven band serenaded Capt. Bennett and Simon Fried, Esq., at their residences. The music of the band was duly appreciated and the members kindly treated. On Tuesday afternoon Dr. J. II. Shull, Theodore P. Taylor and Edward K. Shafer, of this place, were out trying their skill with the black bass at the Water Gap. Although they are not experts at fishing, they returned home in the evening with a fine lot of the finny tribe. Thomas IIefferman, who was up before Squire Rces, of this place, a short time since, on a charge of stealing grain from Mr. Zim merman, of Smithfield tsp., settled the mat ter and was released. A few days since Zimmerman had ilefferuian arrested again and committed to jail on the charge of threats made. Tiioenix Fire Co.

Inside of that snake was a another, a spotted snake, two two feet ten inches long, and in that snake were twenty young snakes each six inche long. The spotted snake had evidently been swallowed by the black snake a short time before. The last Pennsylvania rattlesnake story is of a Blooming Grove infant of four, who brought one in to his mother, held by the neck and by the rattles. The snake hav ing been dropped at the command of the mother and dispatched with her broom stick, the youngster cried at the loss of his play-fellow and said he knew where thei were more and that lie would go after an other. lie was humored in his wilfulness and a nest of the reptiles was found, out o which twenty-one were killed by the farm hands with flails.
