Lavton, July Si. There are a number of places in Walpack township where the main roads are very narrow. In most such places they are bounded on ono side by embankments, and ou the other by steep declivities or ravines, which are somewhat dangerous, especlaly at night, or when teams meet. We would sugg)tst that a road machine with blade set well in to tho bank would transfer dirt to the op posite side of the road quickly .cheaply and well, while it would benefit the rood at the same time that it would give it the added width that is so essential. Schenck Merrill Is said to have put five mowing machines to work In his grass to save it from the army worm. If It is the real army worm it is to be hoped its rava ges may be stayed. Even if it is not that distinct species, it is from all accounts sufficiently destructive. To inquiring friends; The merry-go-round is simply a drunken orgle. Any amusement about It? No one seems to think so but the inauagur. Those who have reputations to lose, or families to copy their example shun it. The manager like the thimble riggers will probably hie himself to fresh fields and pastures new, where public sentiment Is mure favorable, and birds of this feather do more congre gate. Sclah. Telephone connections with Branchvllle or Port Jcrvls are being strongly talked of. There is ample money, pules, and work, fur this improvement only waiting to be solicited. If it were gone Into with a vim a Hue could be had in working order in side of a month. Wake up Branchvllle, Layton and other points that are interest ed, and get into the procesblou. All it wants is a leader, and it is done. Apples are a good crop In tho valley and are unusually free from knots, ur blemish. The early varieties are riieulng, and cldur making will soon begin. The Hydraulic press of John B. Rxwencraus is in order as usual, and a load of apples are turned Into delectable cider while you get your barrels ready. Iu tills aj0 of progress tluio is in deed money, and Johnny's press will save you both time and cider. The old method is not to be compared with it. A combined choir and Praise meeting Is held every Friday evening In the church at Layton. The boys say that when they got that subscription big enough to buy the organist a new set of ivories, harmony will reign, and oelestial music will abound in the sacred edifice. The Democratic party has invariably of late years claimed that hod they the power they would legislate for the masses. Have they done ltf Has there been any auinlnl stration since the war that has given the lie to their professions more direct than Cleveland has? I know of none. Any In formation to the contrary will be thank fully received. Two months ago the Dem ocratic party was entirely without an issue and there was no visible excuse for its ex istence. The election of McKinley was a foregone conclusion. The principles of the peoples party was seen to bo making rapl d headway among the masses. The Demo cratic party proceeded to appropriate much of the Populists' thunder, and Incorpora ted It into their platform. Now they come before tho people with a lawyer, and a millionaire candidate, a platform of stolen principles, and make more promises. Have you confidence in those promises? No sir neither have I. With an endorsement of their platform by the populists free sliver will elect Its candidate. Will the popu- lists do it? I hope not. They should hold their organization intact; Keep the mid die of the rood; make no compromises, stand on their own platform, nominate good farmer candidates, and leave the rest to the people. I for one ain willing to abide by the result. Thirty yearn of the two old parties ought surely to be object lesson enough to justify the masses in as suming control of a new party, altogether their own. Will they do ltf Jacob Roe, and Dester Fuller will open a general store in the building owned by tho former gentleman, at Walpouk Cen tro. The stock will be entirely new, bought for cosh, and the people will be benefitted accordingly. The hay crop Is as anticipated, quite short. J. J. Van Sickle lBcutting the best crop I have yet heard of. He has both heavy gross, and a large acreage. "Jake' can make funning pay even if the times ure a little tight. ' The Press amusing Interview with the Professor couoernlug Milford air, suggests the idea that the funny editor has come to town. He wants to be careful how he pokes fun at Jersey air or someone will send him a sack of extract of mephitis Americana In the original package. A full dose of which would make necessary fre quent baths of splritus frumentl both In side and out. Wonder if the Professor did not mistake sulpuretted hydrogen for some thing else in the air during the Democra tic caucus. I would suspect a trace of a sulphuretted something, but did not ex poet It would have any Hydrogen In It, Do they snuff It in their nostrilsf I thought they took it In a glass. The Board of Education of Walpack township have hired their teachers for the coming school year. There was a slight reduction in salaries.' The following Is the list with wages of each: Fletcher Garlss, Flatbrookville; 28 Carrie Layton, Central; , Hexekiah Smith, Walpack Centre; ttto. School term 9 months. - We are pleased to note In the Press list of Hotel guests, and arrivals that there is a steudy increase in the number, and hope the invasion of the Delaware valley plea sure resorts will surpass the quota of form er years, and that the people seeking rest and reoroation will swarm upon them like unto to locusts out of Fgypt.

The fair in behnlf of St. Joseph's church held a short time since at the residence of Mr. John Sheen was a grand social affair. The grounds were brilliantly lighted with Chinese lanterns and the effect from the Delaware bridge was fine. The proceeds were about $150. Mr. J no.

(Special Correspondence to the Press.) Conashauoh, July 23. Mr. Edgar E. Aube Jr., of Brooklyn. N. Y., who for the past week has been a guest at the Cona shaugh House, had a narrow escape from Instant death on Sunday morning last. He hod gone up the road for a little spin on his wheel, and on returning, lost control of it while coasting on one of the hills, and was precipitated headlong into the road. The result was a severe facture of the left col lar bone, a few bruises on the arm, and a slight out near the forehead. Mr. Aube pulled himself together and walked back to the house where he was attended by Dr. Penoock, a prominent physiclnn of Brook lyn, also a guest at the Conashaugh House The young man at present is doing as well as can be expected. Surrounded by a bevy of maidens who flutter about him like gai ly colored butterflies, each eager to out do the ot her In their attentions to the pa tient, he Is not likely to want for enter tainment. We trust the recovery will be swift and painless. A progressive enchre was given last evening at the Conashaugh House. After sometime spent In the pleasant game, in which about forty guests participated, prises were awarded to the following: Mrs. Thus. Heffron 1st prize, sterling all ver shoe horn. Miss Ada Fera 2rd prize, sterling silver nail file. Mrs. J. Glen Fish ier, booby prize, rubber doll. Mr. Thos. Heffron 1st prize, silver pocket knife; Mr. A. C.

The spacious ball room, but re- oently finished is a great acquisition to this famous place, and nearly every even ing the young people repair to tho annex for a good time. , , , LEOOEDALE.

Tho friends of free silver u-iieniliicri at Layton Saturday night, pursue nit to call for the organiza tion of a Five Silver ( Hub. W. H. Van Sickle was cIccKmI president. Eugene Ma jor, vice-president; James B. Fuller, secre tary nnd 1). H. Lattlmore, treasurer. The president appointed James B. Fuller, L. T. Smith, and W. C. Hursh a committee on resolutions. Tho committee submitted resolutions endorsing the free coinage of silvpr nt the ratio of 10 to 1, and oomruend Ing the Chicago Democratic platform, whloh were unanimously adopted upon motion a committee was appointed to wait upon every voter In the townshlp.and it is probable that before the next meeting the clul) list will carry 200 names or more. Only people in the township are solloited to become members of the club, as it is be lieved that the subject of organization will lie promptly considered in the towns. The club decided that the Now York World, which Is largely taken In this town, had by its failure to support the regular nomi nees of a convention representing the masses of the jwople, and the Democratic party, forfeited the support and respect of this club, and as soon as a metropolitan newspapersiipportsthe nominees and plat form ot tho Chicago convention, every World subscription be cancelled, and trans ferred to the paper that champions our cause. The usual measure of how deeply peo ple are Interested In a movemont Is shown by how fur they will go into their pockets to support it. On a call from the president for voluntary contributions to .meet the expenses of the club $16.00, was' contri buted in about as many minutes. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the president. Personally I am very much In sympathy with this movement, and consider It truly a legitimate and proper thing for tho people to forward by all hon orable means any organization involving what they believe to be their welfare. Its promotion depends much upon the efforts of the Individual members of the club, though a good moral effect flows from the election of good officers. The club's no tion In this respect has been all that could be desired, nil being good citizens with correct Democratic sentiment. But while I eommend where endorsement can be sin cere. I wish also to offer a word of caution where I believe it to bo needed. In recom mending a name to fill a vacancy in the oilice of County Central Committee made vacant by the death of Matthew Shay, and which Is now to bo ill led by appointment of the County Hoard, there was, I think. an opportunity for tho new movemont to recommend itself to the conservative, thinking citien,and to exhibit Its purity of purpose by recommending a man of high moral standing, whose name would inspire confidence and give dignity to the position. He is in a manner tho spokesman of bis party In the township, the link of com munication between tiie county and town ship organization. Nothing is lost, but much gained by selecting a thoroughly good and competent man to fill the posi tion. I regret very much that Instead of this selection was nimlo that was appar ently liioonsideicd, and tho gravity of which must Itccomo apparent at once. It gives much the same impression to the ear here that Tweedism would in New York city. Tliis movement needs no leaders with rum bottle in one hand, and a bribe in the other. Any one conversant with local politics will recognize the fact at once that Klntnerlsm and Tweedism are nearly synonomous terms for post methods in Sundystou, as well as in New York city, and would use the same equivocal moans to attain the same objectionable ends. It would have been an appropriate exhibit of sentiment to have selected James B. Ful ler, who hue been a silver advocate for many years, nnd is a veteran in the cause. L. T. Smith or J. J. Van Sickle would either one lent a genuine dignity to the of fice, and been capital selections. In fact any one of a dozen others would have been much more suitable. I wish to cast no reflections upon the purity of the club's motions, but I am sure that upon sober second thought they will see and appreci ate the importance of reconsidering their action and recommending a name that will stand for something else than pot house politics. Such a burden is too much to ask a new movement to carry and ex pect it to survive, much less to be a suc cess. The new movement tnn the better solicit the best elements of all parties if it aims to lift tho leadership from the gravol insr level of mediocrity to a plane that ao- peals to their Better judgment, and gains their confidence by the evident purity of its purposes. We hope the force of the proposition to reconsider that part of the club's action pertaining to the selection of a name for County Central committeeman will be too apparent to need further ex planation, although if necessary a half dozen specific reasons can be given the club for rescinding their action in this mutter, any of which should be ample to lustifv them In setting themselves sunare- ly before the people, whose confidence they suoiuu wisn to oouuu. .
