Last Friday afternoon, while attending a complimentary pic-nic tendered Miss Sallie Hibleraud Miss Lou. Sayre, atLakePoponon tning, by Mr. Frank Hess and a host of their f: ion Is hereabouts, it was our pleasure to t -aggie into the camp of the East End Club of Philadelphia, and right glad we are that our lot fell among such a jolly and sociable crew. The club is composed cf the following named gentlemen, all Philadelphians : Dr. C. II. Bah!, J. F. Bahl, Dr. P. L. Benner, J. J. Bdstorling, W. F. Jacoby, A. B. Jacoby, II. II. Weierbach, P. D. Kofi'el, M. P. .'harp, C. G. Freed, J. A. Weierback iiini G. W. Lauer. Their camp was pitched and oEccred in true military style ; an officer of the day and police appointed each day to keep the camp in order and attend to the drawing of rations, &c. Now aud then a special detail was made to draw "snappers" from the Lake and "corks" from soda-water and other bot tles containing water, or something equally as exhilirating. Although we had a press ing invitation to investigate the mysteries of wicker baskets and iron bound casks, we had to decline the proffered hospitality, for prin ters never indulge, you know. But wo did enjoy a delightful row around the lake, with friend Belsterling doing the handsome at the oars. While making the tour and neariug a farm house on the bank of the lake, our craft was signalled by Miss Hibler. Wc landed, and what could be more inviting to the thirsty than a pot of cool, rich milk, especially when served by the handsome brunette herself. After satisfying the inner man, we pushed off on the smooth, glassy water, " campward " bound, where we ar rived in time to cote the arrival of Messrs. Sharp and Freed, who had been spending the day in Stroudsburg. They were borne tenderly in the arms of their comrades, from their carriage to a table close by, when for a short time, speeches aud songs reigned supreme. The shades of night arc lowering and the time for our departure arrives. Reluctantly we part with our new found friends, but go we must, with many thanks to the East End Club for the hospitable manner in which they entertained us. During their sojourn at the lake they won a host cf friends and all express regrets at their departure. Should they visit us again, which we hope they will, they can rest assur ed of a hearty and cordial welcome. Bon ii''tfj to the East' End Club. A trip to Scranton and wLat ve saw aud heard. On Thursday last, having finished the printing and packing of our papers, we thought, having business thither, we would take a trip to Scranton. We accordingly en tered the street car by our office door, scud ded along at the rate of 2:40 or more to the mile, and in due season reached the depot. Here, ticket procured, (thanks to the parsi mony of the D. L. & W. Co., and the rcqire ments of cur new Constitution we pay in cash for our riding now instead of in advertising,) we were soon under way, as fast as a prudent use of steam could carry us, and at about quarter past 2 p. in. were quietly, with friend Wolf, peramlulating the streets of Scranton We bad heard and read much about Scranton much that ordinarily, in such cases, would be sat down as a genuine specimen of braga docia, but when we take a look at the eity, its extensive manufacturing interests, its railroad and coal interests, its mercantile in terests, its magniucient proportions, and the beauty and substantial character of its build ings, whether residences or what uot, aud consider that all has been brought to pass in thirty-four year.?, the brag changes to mar vel and downright wouder. Hardly half a life time has passed since a dilapidated ham let of some four or five houses occupied the spot where now stands a city in every respect a city, with its 50,000 inhabitants. We well remember its days of swamp, moras, and woods, but these have all passed away, with but few traces remaining that they ever existed. One afternoon was spent in looking around hand shaking and lageriufj with old friends, and it is really surprising how much of Stroudsburg and Monroe county generally we found settled there. The fact is that from this cause we could hardly persuade ourself that wc were outside of our own beautiful borough. Nearly every turn brought to view some face familiar because of lone association either of residence or business. Should they conspire to do so Monroe county folks could easily make themselves a power in the control of the political, muncipal and business interests or the city. Uur space would hardly furnish room for half the names of those wc met even without looking for them. We had heard of hard times as a prevailing disease in the city, but during the afternoon, saw nothing of it sufficiently for midable to convince us that either business or the people were suffering. It is true, in answer to inquiry, we were assured that things were dull, but this assurance was the only evidence of tlu fact, fcr business men were a happy, contented look, and there was more or less trading going on in every store we looked into or passed. The fact is, that Scranton' s business men appear to be made of better material than the same class of men elsewhere, for such a thing as gloom or gloominess did not darken a siugle counten anec that we scauned. They seem to have been brought up in the true school of busi ness Philosphy, and are prepared to take things just as they come, without worry or fret. And who will say this is not the pro per way, we do not know this to be the fact, but judging of the state of affairs from what we saw we should say that times are not so hard there, or else that the savings in good times have so prepared the business com munity as to" enable it to bridge over the chasm of stagnation, and feel comfortable even under the lowering clouds of a business collapse. And yet all is not prosperity, fo at least 15,000 laboriug men, whose wages when employed foot up an aggregate cf $1, 500,000 per month are idle in the county of Luzerne alone, owing to the stoppage or cur tailure in the operations of large manufactur ings and coal companies. There must be much suffering iu consequeuce of this, but so far as Scranton and its business are concern ed you do not see it. In the evening, in company with several friends, we visited the Germania Yarities, the only place of amusement open. Here we had fifteen cents worth of show, and we must say we had more "value received'' for our money (we paid cash mind you,) than we ever before had for thribble the amouut of money. Our friend was right wheu he informed us some month or two ago that it was a place worth going to. J ust think of it : we had negro minstrelsy, including song, eonondrum, dance and banjo, slack wire bal ancing with plate spinning, comic and senti mental soug surpassingly well rendered, fancy dancing with the can-can accompaniment omitted, feats on the single bar, the marvels of the man with the iron jaw, who lifted a two hundred and seventy-five pound cask of water and a boy on top of it with his teeth, trapeze performance, vaudeville, and we have for gotten what all besides, and all for fifteen cents. The whole would have been perfect, but for the presence of the Arlington base ball boys, of New York city, (who, in a tournament here, had just succeeded in flar ing all the clubs iu this neighborhood,) and their Scranton friends who seemed to think the show was their own and that they had a perfect right to use it as they pleased, to the great disgust of all the rest of the large audi ence present. We were assured that the noise on this night was exceptional, and that its indulgence was not because the Arling ton's were given to this kind of thing, but be cause, as says the old saw, "wheu whiskey is in wit is out." An introduction to and conversation with Mr. Harry Weeks, the manager of the varities, convinced us that he was a gentleman, of the hale hearty and well met stamp, aud that the conduct of the Arlington's and their escort was far from meeting with his approbation. After the show, well satisfied with the day's proceed ings, we aspirated our prayers, as usual, and went to bed, an 1 to a soothing in the arm3 of Morpheus. On Friday morning we took an early rise, and in compauy with friend Wolf took a stroll to view the lions of the place. We found these unusually quiet, and here we must say we saw the first evidences of the business pressure. The Lackawanna Iron and Coal Companie's Works, in which some threo thousaud men and boys are generally em ployed, are nearly all stopped ; one or two of the blast furnacesthe foundry, machine shop and work ou the new steel works being the only exception. At least two thirds of the em ployces are idle. And so we fouud it with all the large factories either working short handed, or on short time, or both. Even the railroad coinpauies have come down to this state of things the D. L. & W. running but six coal trains per day, not more than one half their number in good times, and their shops and coal works that are not idle, run ning on part time only. During this portion of our pcreginations we visited the grounds to be occupied by the Steel works of the Iron Company. Here we found a busy hive of workers truly, though we are informed that not a quarter of the men are now employed here that were here three weeks ago. Here we placed ourself under charge of Mr. Theodore G. Wolf, a former Stroudsburger who has charge of the men employed and to whom we are uuder obligations for all that we learned concerning these extensive works. The building will oc cupy a space of some GO by 190 feet, and will be of brick. Of the substantial character of the building some idea may be formed from the fact that the excavation for the foundation is some sixteen feet deep, aud is dug in ground made of the cinders and slag of the blast furnaces, which had been dumped here to the depth, iu many places, of forty feet. This excavation is filled up, on an average six feet in bight with a concrete formed of cement, sand and powdered slag, which is thor oughly prepared with water, then dumped to position from trestling and then stamped down to solidity by heavy wooden mauls in the hands of stalwart men. We saw the modus operandi and feel satisfied that the work is thoroughly done. To complete this concreting, four thousand barrels of cement, procured from the works along the Lehigh, and eight thousand barrels of sand will have been used. On this concrete the stone foundations are laid, in which stone are used weighing, many of them, four and five ton. The foundation completed will em brace over one thousand yards of stone ma sonry of this massive character. In the superstructure seven hundred thousand brick will be used. Of the number of thou sands of bushels of lime and saud required to finish it only a practical builder can form an idea, we will not pretend to. Nor can we form the least idea of the number of squares of slate, kegs of nails and spikes, or .i i o n i i .1. "tit thousands oi ieet oi luuiter um win do used iu its construction. The machinery, which, like the building, will be most massive and of the most approved de sign, is now building in the company's shops aud at the Dickson works. That in weight it will run up into the thousands of tons will readily be inferred when we men tion the fact that many of the columns, cross-pieces, portions of the converters, and sills are of solid cast iron, and weigh from four to seven ton3 each, and that these are almost numberless in the eyes of the inex perienced beholder. The capacity of this mill, which will be devoted to the manufac ture of steel rails, exclusively, will be about 150 tons of finished rails per day. The cost of the works, with the adjoining puddling mill, is estimated at $050,000. The power used in driving the works will be steam, furnished by six boilers of the locomo tive pattern, having 119 flues each, and a capacity of some 2,000 horse power. Five of these boilers we saw, and they were mon sters truly. They cost five thousand dollars each, as they stood ready to be walled in place. That the general idea that the iron and steel trade must soon improve is enter tained by this mammoth company, certainly one of the largest, if not the very largest, in the country, is evidenced not ouly by this large provision for the future, but also by the fact that its direction, within a few weeks back, resolved to increase its cash capital $1,000,000. Through with sight seeing, wc proceeded to attend to the business which was the ob ject of our coming here. That finished, wc took another look around the city and, a mong other things, called in at the Sunday Free PreM office, where we made the acquain tance of Mr. Frank Clark and Mr. John O' Conner, eonnectecs of the establishment, and undoubtedly clever and agreeable gentlemen. We missed the main object of our visit, how ever, which was a sight of, and a handshake with, that live genius J. C. Coon, who we regretted to learn was on a temporary tramp to Michigan, to look after some friends. Our disappointment however was partially compensated by. the meeting with our old friend E. L. Wolf, who we found busily, and we feel sure not unsuccessfully engaged in supplying Mr. Coon's place during his ab sence. In this latter run around we were confirm ed in many of our precouceived impressions of Scranton and Scrantonians. Not an insig nificant characteristic of both is the love of the "hoss," and "fine riggs," well handled, we found to be the weakness of more than its aristocracy. Dollars are a big thing but to appearance these measurably play second fiddle to the equines, for whose greater com fort, protection and care a vigorous branch cf S. P. C. A., is in active operation. The style of managing the " rigs" among "the bloods" is peculiar and a description for the in struction of persons of the same kidney here, where so much awkwardness is displaj'ed, may not be out of place. Well, "the rig" being given to find the mode of managing it. Rule: Procure your lady companion. Hav ing gracefully tipped her in, tumble yourself by her side, elevate your shoulders and bring your chin well down on the breast, casting the eyes from under the lashes on a level with the horses heads. Then reach out the arms at full length and, grasping the ribbons firmly, lean to it, slightly bent towards the lady companion, as though all depended, whether of pleasure or safety, in pulling the "horses" heads from their shoulders, aud you are ready for the ga-lacg" which is sure to bring exhiliration to the occupants of the carriage and an untold amount of envy to the luckless wights who would like to do so too, but can't because they arc short of the ucccssary "spons," to do it with. Ihe lady ton hns her Dart in the iirogramme, which will spoil the play if not well performed. The most approved style that which is most closely followed is to place, hersclt in an erect position, as though her stays were braced with hickory hoop-poles, her body half turned towards her Sancho Panza, and her eyes gazing intently on vacancy. It is then that she is sure that she is doing the figure just right, and that the pleasures of a very heaven are falling steadily upon her. Our assertion that the ladies of Scranton arc, as a whole, remarkably good looking, and that the male bipeds are not much be hind them, we think will not be seriously contradicted by visitors to that "third city of the State." Politically, we learned that things were beginning to bubble quite lively iu Luzerne. At the time we were there Hon. Frank D. Collins was busy manipulating a convention of the untcrrified at White's Haven, so as to secure his nomination to Congress, and we have since learned succeeded to his per fect satisfaction. Luzerne has a good many offices to fill, but it is alleged that she has more patriots who desire to fill them by a hundredfold. Well, such is Democracy, and the more's the pity. From observation, however, we do not sec much hope for our brethren of that stripe hereabouts. They are smart, devilish smart, in Luzerne, and if Frank D. Collins is iu earnest in his essay for higher honors than those he now bears so blushingly, we do not exactly see how it is to be prevented. But four o'clock is here. The locomotive sounds the bell for departure, and with the "all-aboard" of the conductor said, and the puff, puff of the engine, we are off for home, well satisfied with our trip, its business and it3 pleasures, and confirmed in our belief that it is good to travel around once and awhile. Six o'clock found us safely at home agaiu, when a wash up and a bite of some thing to cat rendered us perfectly contented and happ3T. A new postal card will soon be out. It will be lighter in color than the old, prob ably almost white. The printing and engraving will be executed in black ink and the border will be narrower and neater in appearance. Complimentary Pic-Nic. Last Friday a complimentary pic-nic, was tendered Miss Sallie Hibler and 3Iiss Lou. Sayre, by their numerous friends in Stroudsburg. The place selected for the festivites, was Lake Poponon ming and a lovely spot it was. The day was spent in rambling through the woods, boat ing and gathering wild flowers, playing croquet, and other games. We indulged in a game of euchre which we enjoyed hugely. The party returned at a late hour, breaking the stillness of the night with their merry songs as thejr journeyed homeward. The day thus spent, was a pleasant one, and one that will long be remembered by those who joined the pleasure seekers. It is needless to say that Mr. Frank Hess was the master spirit of the pic-nic, to whom all are indebted for the jolly, good time they had. Vive la Hibler and Sayre. TFhat We Sicard and Saw within Ihe Week. We have heard of men eating "baloon juice" with a knife and dipping soup with a knitting needle, but never, until a few evenings since, did wc hear of young ladies eating ice cream with a tooth brush. For further particulars apply to the "angels." A very good way to remove obstructions from under your bed-room window drop a pitcher of cold water. Letter still, to drop a bucket of slops. While undergoing a surgical operation, one of John's "buff cochins" breathed his last. If it will af ford John any consolation, we would say. "Put away those little breeches, Io not try to mend the hole ; Little "cochin" will not need them, He has climbed the slippery jole." Neither a Feck of corn or the Doctors valuable services could save him. The pic-nickers had a jolly lime. ITappy to say, no fountain of the "elixir of life," was discovered. There will be lots of fun at the Fair ground, next Satur day afternoon, between the "Typo's" and "Painters." The "quartette" are in extacies over prospects of the early arrival of cousins and friends from the city. That cat is a per fect beauty, and ever so polite. "O. G." is elucidating the mysteries of the game of euchre to his flock of young turkeys. Try them on "seven up," "Oofty." Theodore Tilton's affidavit before the investigating committee in Plymouth church has been made public. It is very lengthy, and makes specific charges of criminal in timacy between Henry Word Beechcr and Mrs. Tilton. Mr, Beechcr has since pub lished a card, making a denial of Tilton's charge nnd declaring the latter's particular allegations false. Until further develop ments are made, we do not feel justified in expressing an opinion as to the innocence or criminality of the accused. But few days now will be required to determine with something like certainty the truth or falsity of the charges. If Mr. Beecher is guilty, as Mr. Tilton declares him to be, then he is the blackest vil'ian that ever as sumed the roe of a good man. If it is found that he is innocent, his character will come out brighter than ever, while his ac cuser will receive the deserved odium of every pure minded person.

The general tendencies of the novel are to brighten beauty. This m seen in the ordering and arrangement of things about us. It is a hiw of our nature to become tired of tilings up on which we are constantly gazing. The monotony caused by the constant associa tion with certain objects, is broken by things which are new, novel. We are crea tures ever longing for newenchantingscenes, we stop to catch the echo of new sounds, we love to feed on new thoughts, or to express old ideas in new forms. We turn away from the landscape, with its slopes, trees, and flowers, to scramble up the rocky sides of some towering mountain. Lut we are not satisfied with that; we haste from those giddy heights to enjoy the novelties of the grandeur of Niagara. Though the sight of those falls awaken feelings of the sublime, yet we do not wish to always gaze upon them. We seek again the fertile plains or the quiet vale We rush across the Rocky mountains to catch a glimpse of the marvelous beauties of Yosemite valley. Yet our appetite for new things is not appeased. Nor does a sojourn among the flowers of ambrosial fragrance, in ponthern climes, seem to satisfy our longing for the novelties of sight. Rut our vacation is over, and we return to our toil, hoping, by another year, to enjoy the novelties of other scenes. Again, we cloe our ears to the thunderous peal of the great organ, only to listen to the eweet tones of the harp. We are enchanted for awhile by the majestic sweep of harmonious sounds, bursting forth from a thousand brass instruments, then bend with eagerness to catch the sweet cadences of some human voice tuned to awaken the strongest emotions of the heart Those wearied by the incessant din and tumult of the crowded city, haste to the quiet of the country, where they can retire to the deep rich shades of the verdant woods, whose suggestive silence is only broken by the carolling of the summer bird, or by the soft murmers of some silver stream. There is a newness of melody in the "whit what" of the rifle as it is drawn over the edge of the farmers grass scythe ; and there is sweet music in the soft refrain of the reaper's song. Thus there is a novelty in the transition from one sound to another, the effect of which is to produce a pleasant soberness. Then again, it is a novelty to listen to sounds, the grating of which produces impressions of a ludicrous character. For instance, the croak ings of the old bull-frog are anything but musical, but it is the novelity of sound occa sioned by the vibrations of his vocal chord, that detracts from their unpleasantness. We often laugh at the belabored mule's ("the orphan") bray. We cannot suppress a smile when we hear the members of that numerous race of digitigrades, the cat, disturbing the peace of the community by their nocturnal brawls. There is a town in New Jersey,, in which there is a caninery. The occupants of this establishment fill the midnight air with howls, hideous and doleful. To rae, when in that town, those howls were at first a novelty? somewhat disagreeable more rediculous than ludicrous. So we have exceptions to the rule that novelty always pleases. Were the pro phecies of witchcraft fulfilled, this little town in New Jersey would long ago have been depopulated ; for the howling of a dog you know is a sure sign of a new coffin. The screech ing voice ofagopsipin woman grates hard upon the ear. lint then we don't mind that, since the novelty of her pensive(?) voice is so laughable. I don't mean to say that such per sonages are scarce and therefore a novelty ; but that the crow-like melody of her voice is a novelty when we are in constant association with those whose accents arc sweet music. Joaquin Miller in his interesting letter from Italy a 6hort time ago, Etatcd, that he never saw such a land of dreams as about the bay of Naples. "Even the dogs refuse to bark and the poor belabored mules forget to bray. Incredible as it may seem, even the women of Naples are silent half the time. I Paw a cat in the silver moonlight on the adjoining hotel la.3t night, curving his spine and rolling his splendid eyes ; but never a word said he." The novelty in these cases, consisted not in the sounds produced, but in the strange silence of the actors. 2b be continued.' Adolphits. Port Murray, N. J., July 25. Death of John v. Coolbauorla. In the death of John V. Cool bau eh one of the Elders of the Middle Smithfield Presby terian Church, the church and community has sustained an irrepairableloss. IIewa3 the last of the original bench of elders ordained at the organization of the church. lie was a living witness for Christ, for over half a century, and in few lives has the redeem er been more fully exemplified. He was pre-eminemtly a man of prayer. During the precious revival in this church last winter he was known to spend whole nights in prayer And on his dying pillow he told one of the members of his family ho had spent much of his life in prayer, which he did not now re gret, and counciled them to pray for sustaining grace atius departure. He has represented the church, nearly half the time, for over forty years in Presbytery. In appreciation of his worth to the church, "eight ministerial brethren were present at his funeral which took place July 2oth. The session unanimously passed the follow ing resolutions. Whereas, It hath pleased Almighty God to remove from our number our senior brother in the eldership, John V. Coolbaugh, and Whereas, The loss we sustain is irrcpair able, be it resolved: -uiScU !Vhil we Uow in submission to the will of God, we deeply lament the loss cf our elder brother, both to ourselves as a session and to the church, of which he was a consis tant member and faithful councilor for over fifty years. . Second ': Wc greatly rejoice that one of our number has given such living testimony to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in leading such a holy exemplay christian life, through so Jong a term of years, and that now we have the assurance that he rests in Jesus. Third: We have the greatest confidence, while "he rests from his labors" his works will follow him, and that the influence of his pra--er and eflorts for the salvation of souls, will be felt in our midst for years to come. Fourth : That we extend our deepest sympa thy to the bereaved family, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to thera, and to the v..v uv epulis yagers lor publication. utUKUE 1 ETERS, George W.
