Sturdevant takes good pictures, and is worthy of patronage. We have just put into our office a Quarter Medium Gordon Job Pressthe best in the country-and laid in a stock of black and colored inks, and added largely to our jobbing material, and are, in consequence, prepared to do job printing of all styles, plain and colored, at Philadelphia prices.

He had presence of mind enough to roll between the track, and only barely escaped being killed. He was very seriously injured. We didn't learn his name. -Our friend, R.

H. Atkinson, will accept our thanks for a half dozen remarkably well matured "harvest apples." We measured one whose short and long diameters were so nearly alike-eleven and three quarter inches--that we were puzzled for a long time to find out which was which and which wasn't, and while doubting we eat one, and it was good, exceedingly good. Mr. Atkinson, we are sorry to say, has no more. -The poem on the Alligator runs in this wise "How cheerfully he seems to grin, how neatly spreads his claws, and welcome little fishes in with greatly smiling jaws." People who do not want to be thus "welcomed in" better buy all they need in the line of furniture, at Buck Sterlings, below the National Bank, Tunkhannock.

Every one will be pleased with their ware and their prices, and all styles of furniture can be had. -The energetic Superintendent of Construction of the L. V. R. Col.

V. E. Piolett, has determined to celebrate the opening of the road by a private excursion over the road from Wilkes-Barre to Waverly. Prominent citizens all along the line have been invited. The train left this morning at this place, o'clock 50 minutes, and is expected to reach Waverly at 11:40.

It will leave Waverly at 12 m. and reach Towanda 12:50, when a collation will be served on the Public square for all guests. A very pleasant time is anticipated. Letter from Nicholson. FRIEND local item is blackberries; all the rage at present is blackberries, everybody is smitten with "blackberry on the brain," every hand is dyed with the juice of that luscious luxury, and all the talk when neighbors meet, is, "how many berries have you dried? how many have you gathered," I never knew berries so plentiful as this season, truly the berry millenium has come at last, but it draws nearly to a close-the weather is too dry.

Water is very scarce: wells are dry. We went berrying one afternoon, bore bravely being scratched by the cruel briers as we shoveled the mammoth berries into the pail joyfully, until we could crowd in no more, and then reluctantly left, leaving, apparently, more berries than we found. But if we left a paradise of blackberries there, we certainly seemed to descend to a pandemonium at home when we reached it, for all the children of the neighborhood had kept house for us in our absence, and confusion reigned while choke cherries were littered from attic to cellar. Yours, truly, CHIP. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.

The fire caught at the entrance of the mine and burned with fearful rapidity.

The wildest excitement prevailed, as thirty men were at the bottom of the mine. The fire originated from the explosion of fire damp. About a year and a half ago this mine took fire and burnt furiously for several weeks, but was finally extinguished by being smothered. The Superintendent of the mine reached Wilkes-Barre at 11 o'clock, p.m., and reported that all the men were rescued alive. AWFUL Intense Excitement! The Avondale Coal Breaker, situated about one mile below Plymouth, Luzerne county, was burned on Monday morning about 10 o'clock.

Two hundred and two men were in the mine and were suffocated by the choke damp. The breaker stood over the only opening to the mine, and caught from a wooden flue running from the mouth to near the bottom of the mine, a depth of two hundred and thirty-seven feet. Fire was kept burning at the bottom for ventilating purposes. A larger fire than usual having been kindled, the flues caught and communicated the fire to the breaker, and egress and air were at once stopped, and all hope destroyed, as the mine was a new one and the chambers small. After the building was consumed two men went down to examine, and were suffocated by the damp; and no relief could be rendered till a fan was brought from Scranton, on Tuesday, which was placed in the mine amid the greatest excitement, thousands thronging the works from all parts of the country.

All in the mine were dead. Dispatches were immediately sent to New York and Philadelphia for coffins. The bodies were recovered on Tuesday. Further particulars given next week. SUSQUEHANNA.

A girl Della Ransom, twelve years of unearned a woman in growth, visiting her brother at the steam saw mill of Mr. Walworth, in the N. E. part of New Milford, had her skirts caught in the main shaft of the mill which had a revolution of 600 to the minute, and was saved by the engineer, who caught her after she had made several revolutions, and saved her, with no clothing but her stockings left on her body. slight wound upon her head and a deep gash upon her thigh were the only external wounds, and the girl is recovering under the medical skill of a physician of Susquehanna Depot, whose name I have 1 not learned, nor have I been able to obtain the name of the engineer of the mill, who, at the risk of his own life, saved that of the child." THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

MR. EDITOR: I see that some of your correspondents are making inquiries in regard to that new Court House that is to be. There are a great many under the same cloud. In all my wanderings and inquiries I have found but one man that pretends to know anything about it. He said the bill for that law was drawn up in Tunkhannock, by a little clique of the office-holding, nontax-paying persuasion, and sent to our Senator at Harrisburg, who, being one "of 'em," put it through the law mill on the double duick.

He seems to have been a willing agent, and wholy destitute of that love inspiring awe that has SO often, just before election, brought him upon his marrow bones before the might and majesty "of the dear people." But perhaps he argued like Andrew Johnson, that He was the people. "The People poor simple souls! what have they to say about it Their keepers in Tunkhannock have saddled a debt of $20,000 upon their backs, whose yearly interest will consume the tax of one of our best townships, which, together with additions, alterations, improvements, pickings and stealings, will probably run to $30,000, when the job is done. And all the people have to do or say about it is to dig and sweat the stamps to foot the bill. And all for what? To build a palace for Lawyers! Something that will comport with the self-conceived importance of its originators. It will be remembered some year and a half ago, just before the holding of a Court, a great cry was made about an attempt to burn the Court House.

In the absense of all reasonable motive for such an act, we believe that some of these People's men kindled that fire, and le it burn just long enough to mak a grease spot, then put it out, leaving their oil bottle, matches, lying about, just to frighten the judges, into frightening the grand jury, that something must be did. That was the commencement of this thing. They have been to work upon it ever gince. Now, this is a matter that concerns all parties alike. If the Democratic party must and will rule this county, why not elect men capable of managing our finances.

Men who will be something more than "little jokers" in the hands of the thimble-riggers of TUNKHANNOCK. COUNTY CONVENTION. Mr. -DEAR SIR: I noticed while watching the proceedings of the Republican Convention, in Tunkhannock, on Monday last, that there was a little hesitancy in accepting temperance as an acknowledged Republican principle. Though we were gratified to find that about two thirds of the convention were not altogether opposed to this new protege presented to the party in SO gentlemanly a manner by Rev.

E. F. Roberts. But am sorry the Convention did not feel to adopt this temperance boy with a hearty good will, for indeed, it is really a live, healthy, active, growing and, possibly, a somewhat noisy youngster, at least the party will be pretty apt to hear from it again. It is an exceedingly promising lad, a veritable Moses appointed by God to lead the people out of their moral Egypt, into a land flowing--not with wine-but with milk and honey -progress and prosperity-a goodly 1 land indeed, though we are aware that many lust after the wine pots.

We hope that the Republican party will remember that the anti-slavery principles was presented to the Democratic party for recognition under less favorable circumstances and backed by fewer friends than now gather around the temperance cause, and the Democrats rejected it, and spit upon it, and trampled it in the dust. Will the Republican party learn wisdom of the past? Slavery is dead and the rotton carcass hangs putrefying around the neck of the Democratic party, and if that party lives to-day, it is only in the stench of the moral corruption of this "sum of all villainies." Temperance is stepping to the front and demands recognition, i is now knocking at the door of the Republican party. Knowing the past, dare that party shut it out to grow up in independence and sap the very life blood of the party, and become a power, greater, purer, and more fruitful of good, than that or any other party ever has been. When will political leaders learn wisdom? Will they never learn that great moral reforms never move backward. Afraid the temperance question will run the party into the ground! Any party that disapproves prohibition--yes, 1 prohibition- ought to run into the ground and be buried, and the sooner the better for the country.

A party is worth nothing without principles and a party opposed to true and right moral principles is a curse to be deplored and destroyed. FRANK. LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA. DARING ROBBERIESFOUNTAIN SOCIETY--THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE September 3, 1869. As a relief from the water excitement, several very daring robberies have taken place during the past week.

About nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Turrell Tuttle, broker, doing business on Third Street, entered his office, with his tin box containing securities, which he had just obtained from the bank, and placed it under the counter, a few minutes later, a young man called, and desired information as to the converting of some United States into Pacific Rail Road Loans, remarking to Mr. Tuttle, "please step to the door, as I wish to catch a gentleman who is coming up the street." This request was complied with, and the information given. Upon returning behind his counter, Mr Tuttle 3 found his box missing. The supposition is, that while Mr. Tuttle and the stranger were engaged, an accomplice slipped in the back way, secured the box, and cleared out.

Among the papers were Alleghany Valley Rail Road, Alleghany County, Camden and Amboy and other bonds. But very little cash or other available securities were secured. But the queer part of this whole affair is, that a few evenings after, Mr. Tuttle was disturbed by his dog in the yard of his residence. (some three miles from his office) making a great noise, and in going out to see what was the matter, and was surprised to find a bundle containing most of the securities.

On the evening of the above, the office of the Recorder of taxes, on the corner of Sixth and Chestnut street, was entered and robbed of upward of $30,000. After the entrance was effected, the thieves collected all the coats and dusters of the clerks, and arranged in front of the proof to deaden the sound of their operations. The fire proof is built of brick, and has an door. The brick on the side of the keeper of the lock were removed and the door forced open with a jimmey. Inside of the fire-proof was chest, into which the clerks deposited everv evening, in the money received after bank hours.

The lock of the chest was cut, the lid fored open, and the money ababstracted. of the amount carried off was in cash, the remainder checks. Some of the city boot blacks are in the habit of sleeping in the entry leading into the office. About half past eight o'clock, some men entered and represented themselves as police officers ordered them away, remarking that "if they did not clear out they would be arrested as vagrants." The boys left, and after walking around for some time, returned and sat on the steps of the office. They heard the noise inside, but were unable to look in, from the curtains all being down.

No arrests were made in either case. The Foxey policeman seemed much chagrined that these daring fellows should operate near headquarters, for the Treasurer's office is only at the other end of the block. Since the Democratic party came into power by fraud, we have had a succession of daring robberies, and most brutal murders, and with few exceptions have the perpetrators been bronght to justice. During the terms Mayors Henry and McMichael, our police department was most admirally officered and managed, but all were removed to admit the hungry unwashed fellows, who now attempt to protect the public peace. A very commendable rivalry has sprung up between the Philadelphia Fountain Society, and the Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, in the erection of drinking fountains' for man and beast.

The latter society have now in successful operation five drinking fountains on some of our principal streets, and during the coming winter, arrangements will be made for the erection of many more, as the experience of the past summer has proven their utility and absolute necessity. The fountain are doing a good work also, and as soon as sufficient funds are collected, more fountains will be erected. Twelve have already been erected. The agony is over. Harvard has been defeated.

It is not difficult to find excuses, but all honor to the Yankee crew, for nobly have they done, and the other repeated squibs of the English press, that they could not win, nor was it expected they would, has been somewhat cooled down by the close contest. The Harvard crew were not only obliged to meet their antagonists on their private ground, but to depart from their usual custom of racing without coxswain; for in all the races in this country, their bow oar guides the boat. the next thing will be a return match, when Oxford must come to Harvard, and "try it on" on clear, straight water. Then only it may be decided which is the true system of boat racing. There were many good Republicans, who anticipated a rupture in the party in Massachusetts, by the Prohibitory Convention, are now agreeaby disThe president of the conupon taking his seat, called the attention of the members to the object in view, and with a hearty greeting to all delegates who might be Democrats, announced his intention to discharge his duty "within the limits of the Republican party." The address asserts that the people of the State have for thirty years approved prohibition, upon the ground that whatever is clearly injurious to the State may be prohibited by the State.

The drunkard-maker is a criminal, SO the sale of liquor as a beverage was prohibited. This law was most successful, but the pressure of opposition repealed it. License replaced prohibition, but the pauperism of the State increased with such rapidity, and the jails were so crowded that the governor decided that their enlargement would be necessary if the license law was maintained. The result was a restoration of prohibition by the last Legislature, and the address concludes, that the party which pronounces for it, will receive such support as it never knew. Following the address were the resolutions.

In reply to the argument that such a law is an invasion of personal conquering signs, and with these it will continue to conquer. liberty, the resolutions affirm, that is no more so than the suppression of gambling, lotteries, and duelling, that it is no infringement of personal liberty to forbid the sale of what is well known causes one-half the suffering, crime, and pauperism, and that the State which supports paupers, has a right to forbid the sale of that which makes them so. That day is not far distant when the people of this State will demand prohibition, I trust. Several of our most prominent Republican Senators have recently speeches, from which may be inferred what course they will pursue in the next Congress. Senator Morton, of Indiana, reviews with pride and pleasure the career of the Republican party, declares that as great as its work been hand it ir not yet ended.

It has done one thing at a time, and done it well; and that it will continue in the glorious path of progress. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has also given his view of the situation. He claims that the administrareducing the public expenditures within the appropriations, and that a firm policy will without difficulty off the debt in twenty years. Hethinks the discussion of a tariff useless, because at the present time there is an undoubted preference of an indirect to a direct tax. The question of protection is purely incidental, and until our debt is so reduced that we may largely reduce our taxes, idle to discuss the mere policy of protection as a measure of national economy.

It is enough that we must levy the duties to raise revenue; and before this necessity ceases the manufactories of the country will be on so stable a footing as to defy the competition of the world. The Republican party is master of the situation, and it can easily retain control of the whole. country if it remembers its whole history. Principle, intelligence, boldness--these have been its MARRIAGES. BURGESS--HURLBERT-In Mehoopany, Aug.
