Auditors.
The subscriber, one of the Auditors of the County of Monroe, having examined the" above account,
begs leave to inform the public that he cannot give his assent thereto, but must dissent from the opin
ion of the other two Auditors for the following reasons.
The Commissioners of Monroe County havo allowed the following exorbitant and illegal charges
in his opinion.
1st. Amount allowed to James 11. Walton, Jor acting as Auuuors oier ai iasi seiuemeiu
is considered illegal.
It was the duty of Mr. Walton to be in attendance there as Deputy Treasurer and Com
missioners Clerk, under his annual salary, without extra pay.
2.1. Amount paid to J. Rafierty for county printing for 1841, is considered too exorbitant by
3d. Amount allowed Andrew Storm for bad money is considered illegal.
4th. The Commissioners in the last year in the erection or repairing of a bridge (over a
creek, which the subscriber understands is called McMichael Creek, and the bridge, Jack
sonville brido-e,) near troudshurgr under theSr superintendence have paid put of the County
funds the sum of $280 67 without an oraer of inspection view as required by the' Act of As-
$15 00

illegal.

Ihe subscriber is also opposed to the .manner in
which the other two Auditors have lengthened out
me account, enumerating some items in an unusu
al and very lengthy manner, which in the opinion
of the subscriber would cost the Conntv an enor
mous sum if paid for at the same rate paid for last
yeurs priming. JUJL11N iYirittYYliNE, Auditor

Financial ITJeetlitg-.
At a public meeting of the citizens of Mon
roe county, convened pursuant to previous pub
lic notice at the Coim-hbuse in the Borough of
Stroudsburg, on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst.
to lake into consideration mailers relative to. the
finances of Monroe county.
On motion Col. John Huston, was called to
the Chair ; Isaac Transue, Esq. John Yetter
and Sam'l Gunsaules, were appointed V. Presi
dents, and Sydenham Walton and Chas. Boys,
Secretaries. On motion John Merwine, was
called on to address the meeting, who pointed
out various matters of mismanagement of the
County Commissioners since ihe organization
of this County, such as their neglect to take
good security under Bond from the Colle'ctors
of County Taxes, therefore subjecting the Coun
ty to a chance of loss to a. great extent, as in
numerous insiances since it has been organized.
Duplicates have been handed to collectors with
out even making them sign a bond, consequent
ly they are merely charged for the amount on
book, which appears that the Law has been
utterly neglected. The Law requires the
Commissioners to take a bond with sufficient
security for the payment and performance of
Collectors of the various townships. Mr. Mer
wine also argued against the Commissioners
paying such enormous and exorbitant prices to
James Rafierty for printing the various items
for the County, some of which were paid in
direct violation of law. He also stated that
monies had been paid by the Commissioners
for building and repairing bridges, without the
work first being inspected by a Committee ap
pointed by the 'Court for that purpose, which
he contended was in violation of the act of as
sembly. He mentioned several other instan
ces of mismanagement in the Commissioners,
such as paying fees to a Clerk to assist the
Auditors in making a statement of the finances
in the former settlement, and their allowing lo
Ex-treasurers payment of the amount of spuri
ous monies received by them, which is unpre-
The Ladies' Companion.
The February number of this valuable peri
odical lias been received. As usual, it is rich,
various and entertaining. The fronticepiece
is a beautiful steel plate, a miniature of Untica,
N. Y.s and "the Fashions" are unusually fine.
Among the writers we observe the names bF
Benjamin, Ingraham, Fay, Willis, Mrs. Sigour

DEPREciATiNG.The pHce of wheat in Alton

prospect of a farther decline. Indian corn is
selling at the same place at20 cents the bushel.
Curious Law. It is said that there is a law
among the Arabs which permits a man to di
vorce any of the four wives allowed him, who
do not make good bread. Fortunate for some
of the fashonables of the present dayi Ihere is
no such law in this country.
The Hon. Mr. Plumer, a Representative in
Congress from this State, is confined to his
lodgings in Washington by indisposition.
Hard Times. A lot of ready rriiide coffins
and cooling-boards, were disposed of a few
days since at auction, in Baltimore, to satisfy
a distraint for rent. The former brought 15
cents a piece, and the latter one cent. It is a
strange world this that we live in.
The Harrisburg Reporter contains a rumor,
that the Tovvanda and West Branch Banks
have closed.
cedenie'd and not legal by any means whatever.
The whole tenure of his argument went to
show that mismanagement had heretofore ex
isted in the 'affairs of our County and that it
was high time a retrenchment was effected.
James H. Walton attempted to reply to Mr.
Merwine, but the main portion of his argument
amounted to nothing more than blackguardism
and personal insinuations. From the appear
ance and actions of the fellow, some very sore
spots must have been touched with true re
marks by the proceeding speaker, and itideed
it appeared that old daddy. and all his little ones
were afraid of having something developed that
might injure one'of the dear sonnies. Any im
partial listener would have supposed that the
speaker wished to make wrong right, and to
whitewash the misdeeds of some Officials and
make the public belieVo them legal and honor
able proceedings,- or in other words, to advocate
the course pursued by former Boards of Com
missioners but tho public will and have fully
shown that this young scion has missed his
aim and caught himself in his own trap. Poor
little fellow, he stood in his own light.
Longevity.
A colored female, died at Troy, N. Y.
on
tho 22d ult., at the great age of 135 years.
She was a native of Africa, and was kidifapped
and brought to this countrv one hundred and

The time for the presentment of the bills of

from the 26th ult., after which lime they will not
be paid by the Receivers. Those having bills
on that Bank would do well to present them
immediately. The Receivers are Peter Spa
der and John Van Dyke.
Mild Winters. The Lancaster Intelligencer
notices the coincidence, that mild winters have
happened at a regular periodical distance of
twenty-six years, af follows : 1686, 1712, 17-
38, 1764, 1790, 1916, 1842.

Will iam Hunter.
For the first lime since its erection lbs

Kather Mysterious.
The New York Tribune says, that on the
16lh of August last, a Mr. NeAVberry; Practi
cal Phrenologist, leased and moved iiiiU ffn
rodm in the granite building diredily over ilSai
occupied by John C. Golt. He had benu theri
but a few days, when a gentleman, wIuhh
name he does not know, but whum he thinks
he should recognize, called at his room, exnift
ined several skulls, and in the course of a con
versation on kindred subjects, inquired very
particularly as to the precise part of the human
head where a blbw would be most effective in
producing ihsiant death. Mr. N. told him that
it was just behind and above ihe ear. It is
now regarded as note-worthy that ihe fdcull of
Samuel Adams vVds found lo be pierced at that
very spot.
Pardoned. Twii Germans in the interior
of Pennsylvania tiam'sU Abraham and William
Kromer, were in 1836 stJniertcpd to ihe State
Prison for mail robbery. Their term expired
in December last, but they were kept in Pris
on for costs until recently, when they, werti
pardoned by President Tyler. Though ihey
had been in the same prison for the whole termr
they had never seen each other's face. Their
meeting was extremely affecting; they rushed
into each other's arms add Wept bitterly. Du
ring their imprisonment they became attached
to their Bibles; and have both resolved, iit
the strdngth of Christiarl principle, Id lead
lives of virtue. They had scarcely got but of
prison when they accidently met a cousin; id
whom they made known their feelings aiid
resolutions. After salislyihg himself as uf
their sincerity, he gave each df them a farith
near his own in Indiana, and enabled ihem to be
come useful to their familes and the communitv.-
N. Y. Tribune. '
Philadelphia Banks
The Philadelphia Banks (the Girard and
Pennselvania) have agreed upon the following
arrangements in order the more effectually to
meet the present pressure
1. The Banks to issue their own notes' ex
clusively df the denomination of $20 and up
wards. 2. The Banks to riiake daily excharige's
with each other.
3. Balances to be seitled weekly, of bftchefj
at the option of the creditor; bank; to be paid
in specie, or up to the 1st of March, in corrimer
cial bills, not having more than 45 days to run;
after the 1st of March, not exceeding 30
days tb fun; to be approved by the creditor
bank, and guaranteed by the debtor bank.
4. A safety fund is also to be created thus:
the banks of largest capital are to deposite
$100,000 each, and those of a smaller capital,
$50,000 each, in the hands' of Trustees, each
Bank to choose one trustee, and the whole to
form a board. The above sums to be in specie,
Treasury notes, or equally satisfactory. On
the default of any bank the Trustees to have
power to convert the securities to such an ex
tent as to pay the defalcation; and tho defalt
ing bank to be hereafter excluded from the arrangement.
5. To resdme specie payment on the 1st of
AugfiSf.
After fhe adoption t)fa few further resolu-
tioris, not of general interest, the delegates ad

If the scenes which now disgrace the Kail of
the House of Represenatives in Washington,
were acted in England and France, we should
copy the report as something at which our readers .
smile, while they condemned the actors But
when they are found at home found in the Nation
al Assembly of a young Republic, we are bound to
weep over the "events as evidences of that shadW
which coming anarchy casts before it.
1 he bouthern members now start appalled at the
mention of the dissolution bf the Union, when it is
made by a Northern member. They now find
treason in the language.. They seem to forget how
flippant they conversed of such things ten years
ago, ond how coolly they sat down, and calculated
the advantages of the Union. But Mr. Adams also
-we say it with all the respect and reverence for
his age and wisdom which thev deserve Mr-
Adams forgets the loud execrations with which the-
eastern and middle States citizens visited those of
the South, who talked balfrily of such a course.
And those who would be" consistent or just, must
not auopt as tneir own course, the plan which they
loudly and unaualifiedlv condemned in nthers
Every word of df condemnation which was, in.
1831, uttered against the Southern members
for talking of a dissolution of tho Union, is due.
and ought to be given, to the Northern man
who, in 1S42, utters the same language. U. S.
