The Closing; Day of the lewJer. ey IMItorlal Dirnritlon Wll keitbarre, Neranton, and the Delaware "Water np. From Our Own Correspondent. ' Drlawahc Water Gap, June 84, 1869. As stated In my letter of yesterday, the New Jersey Editorial Excursion loft Mauch Chunk at a quarter before 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and arrived at Scranton noon alter T o'clock In the evening. The scenery along this portion or our route was perhaps ' the most romantic and grandly picturesque that we have encountered during the entire trip. At Wllkcs barre, which Is fifty-five miles distant from Mauch Chunk, we witnessed the culmination of its beauty. When within about six miles of the formor town by Tall, although distant from it less than two miles In a Btralght line, the train paused for ten minutes or so, to gve the excursionists an opportunity to contemplate the marvellous view. The line of the railroad Is extremely tortuous, a necessity of the configuration of the land, which pre sent an almost unbroken array of verdure-covered hills. Winding in and ont among them the train pursues its meandering course, at times being en closed on all sides by the mountains, and now and then suddenly reaching a point from which a fertile and highly cultivated valley bursts upon oar view. At such a point the pause Just mentioned was made, and when the members of our party alighted, a grand chorus of admiration aroso from all. WUke barre, like the photograph of a qulot New England ' Village, lay at the bottom of the valley, upon the out skirts of which we stood, a perfect picture of loveli ness and peace. Surrounding it on all sides were cultivated fields, whoso varied hues presented the most startling and attractive contrasts, until they were lost In tho uniformity of the verdant forest growth which crowned the summits of the encircling mountains. The train barely paused at Wllkcsbarre, and then pursued its journey to Scranton, distant nineteen Billes. By this time the scenery had assumed the Wilder aspect which characterizes the coal regions around Mauch Chunk, many of the mountains pre senting barren wastes, set on" by long black mounds of refuse matter from the mines The city of Scranton Itself called forth exclamations of surprlso from all who now for the first time found themselves In 1U midst. It Is a thriving place, with about 60,009 Inhabitants, nearly every building bearing the marks of recent erection. There is no city like it In the Atlantio States, and any one who Is familiar With the rapidly-growing towns of Indiana and Illi nois would at a glance recognize its likeness to them. The first settlement of tho vicinity dates back to the year 1740, when some straggling Moravians located themselves upon the spot. But for a century It had no growth.- In 1810 there were but three dwelling houses in the place. In 1SM there were but few, If any, additions to them. About this time George and Seldon Scranton conceived tho project of constructing the railroad known as the ' Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western, the success of the project, and the prosperity which has fallen to the lot of the city named in their honor,belng mainly owing to their exertions. As soon as this outlet was provided, the town expanded its proportions at a rate which Is seldom witnessed in the Atlantic States. In 1844 a rolling mill was erected, and in the following year the first T rail for railroads ever made In the United States was turned out from this establishment. From this beginning have sprang the numerous rolling-mills, Smeltlng-works, and other iron manufactories on a gigantic scale which now crowd the city. As an in dication of the immense scale on which the business is conducted, It may be mentioned that 70,000 tons of the crude material are annually melted In the Scran ton Iron Worka alone. The town is surrounded by collieries, contributing the source of the motive power and furnishing the bulk of the coal which sup plies the New York market. The city stauds on rising ground at the junction of Roaring Brook with the Lackawanna river, the Moosic Mountain looming up on the east and the Lackawannock on the west. Previous to our arrival at Scranton, each member of the excursion party had received a card desig nating the hotel at which he or she was to be quar tered for the night, but shortly after 9 o'clock we were once more united In the dining-room ot the Wyoming House, where the annual state dinner of the New Jersey Editorial Association was partaken, of by the members of the AsHociation and their guests. Charles Tomllnson, Esq., of the Flemlngton (Hunterdon county) Democrat, sat at the head of the principal table, as President of the Association, At half-post 10 the the cloth was figuratively removed, and the chairman announced the regular toasts or the evening, each sentiment being read In detail by Major Z. K. Pangborn, of the Jersey City Times. Everybody has, once at least In the course of a lifetime, attended such a gathering, and no one cares to read the stereotyped speeches which char- . acterize such an occasion. Among the speakers were General Charles Ualght, member of Congress from the Second district of New Jersey; the Hon. John BUI, member of the same body from the Fourth dis trict of the same State ; Jonn x. roster, Ksq., or tne Newark Courier; Major Z. K. Pangborn, of the Jersey City Times; and the Hon. James M. BcovcL of Cam. den. The company were detained In the best of humor until 19 o'clock, and broke up with the pas sage of a series of resolutions expressing the regret of the Association for the loss, and Its respect for the memory, of the late Henry J. Raymond, of the New York Times. At a quarter before 10 o'clock this morning, the editorial excursion took a special train provided by the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad Company, and proceeded with all possible despatch npon their journey towards the Delaware Water Gap, arriving here soon after 12 o'clock. This spot Is so much frequented by the summer toarlst that It Is ' acarcelv necessary or allowable to Indulge In a de scription of Us matchless beauties. Bat for the benefit of a ohance reader who has never enjoyed the unrivalled and Impressive view from "Prospect Rock," I will venture a few brier details. The Dela ' ware river, after skirting the base of the Blue Ridge formany miles, here suddenly finds them cleft in twain, and takes advantage of the opening to sock tho shortest pathway to the sea. This portion of the Blue Ridge Is known by the collective title of the Klttatinny Mountains, which here attain an average elevation of sixteen hundred feet above the level of the river, although the mountain range on botn sides, as It extends Into Pennsylvania and New J or ser. has an average height of less than one thousand feet. By a curious freak of nature, this point was chosen for the nan through which the river should find an outlet to the ocean. But there would seem to have been a severe struggle between the powers which rule the waters and the rocks before tne Dreacn was enecteu, The average depth of the river for miles above and below is but six feet, while at the opening in the mountain range the plummet does not strike bottom until It has readied a uepin oi sixty ieet, iurt the peculiar character of the sediment there found renders It probable that the gorge was at one time much deeper, and is being gradually filled bd bv deposits of earth. One theory by which the savans have attempted to account for the presence of the gap la based on the supposition that centuries mro there was In the country sdovb uuge jane, rivalling Ontario and Erie In Its proportions, tho 'waters of which, long dammed up by the Klttatinny rimee. finally forced an opening at its most elevated point. The traditions of the aborigines have been liberally drawn upon to support this theory, the iniiiun name of the entire country to the north of the Blue Ridge having been MlnlHluk, which signifies the water is gone." The narrowest point of the nan is about two miles In width, and so precipitously do the banks rise here on both sides that there is barely room for the railway tracks and carrlugo-road on the Pennsylvania shore. As soon as dinner had been partaken of at the Klttatinny House, the excursion party divided up into little groups, each In search of some advan tageous point from which to view the glories of the ." .ii their richness and fulness. Those who JJed the best, for the time ; at .their command were sluggish stream Into the very Jaws of the mountain embrasure. Blackhead Mountain, with Its wonder ful response to the human voice, on the Jersey shore, and Mount MtasL on the Pennsylvania sMo, with the lookout of Prospect Rock, half way up Its rugged slope, presented themselves in succession, with the bold front of Mount Tammany looming op beyond. Those who pursued the white landmarks upon the rocks which start from the hotel, vie wng the tree-crowned domes of the surrounding hills from Table Rock, and still further on the rippling course of Galdem creek as It plunges through Diana's Bath, down Moss Cataract, and over Caldem Fall, were also amply rewarded. But the rare prospects to be had rrom the Lover's Leap, Prospect Rock, and "Sapper's View" were denied ns all, by reason of the lack of time to make the wearisome Journey over the rocks, and return to the hotel In time to catch the departing train. As it is, we make the bent use of our time, the cloning hours of our tour being even more enjoyable than all that have preceded them during the three days In which we have encountered so much novelty aud grandeur. At huir pa. S o'clock we take the cars, and at Mauch Chunk, twelve miles below, the party separated, each participant In the excursion seeking the nearest route by rail to his home, and the humdrum dally lire to which he must there re turn, as tho price or the privilege of living In this world. Among the pleasantest memories which will break in upon him while at his dally tanks hereaftor will be this grand three days' tour with the Now Jersey editors, which is now In Its last regretful moments. Wasutnaw. n e W-V It I 1 M H From Our Ottm Correspondent Nw York, June 26. 1869. Now do city clerks begin to look longingly for the time when their conventional two weeks shall have been granted them, and they may go their several ways rejoicing. It would be hard to persuade them that they would be much better off without the two weeks than with them; that the change of air, of drink, of food for so short a space of time Is scarcely beneficial enough in Its results to act as a prop for the remainder of the year. A few of the larger stores here are quite lenient in the privileges they allow in summertime. The stores, Indeed, close very generally at S o'clock on Saturday afternoons. Some of the stores, however, permit clerks and saleswomen to absent themselves for any reasonable number of weeks, not paying, indeed, full salaries during these intervals of absence, but retaining their places and allowing a certain proportion of wages. Bat If I were a clerk, I scarcely think I should enjoy it were my employer to come to me some fine morning and say, "All Baba, you have a two weeks' holiday ; here Is your fortnight's salary in advance; take it; bloss you; be happy." No, were I to discover the trea sures of the Forty Thieves to-morrow, I should resist the temptation or a trip to Europe, unless I could make arrangements to write for Tng Eveniko Tklkorai-ii whilst away. Cholera morbus is for sale on all the fruit-stands along Broadway. Only they call it cherries, and these In their present state remind me of what Josh Billings says, viz. that eating cherries Is like suck ing marbles with sugar on ttifm. I am very fond of the greenness of nature, but I don't like to see It for sale in the shape of fruit. I am afraid nature Is not healthy in exactly that form, but manages to put the verdure and the virus together. George Holland, one of tho Wallacklan veterans, published a card the other day, maudllnly bemoan ing the termination of his engagement at Lester's theatre, and mildly intimating that when the time came for him to shuttle on this mortal coll, he should lie left to turn up his toes without money enough to pay his funeral expenses. I do not say that is what George said, but what might be Inferred from the tenor of the card. The old gentleman has been snapped up, however, by Mr. Daly for the Fifth Avenue Theatre, where I presume he will sniff next Beason to the entire satisfaction of his old admirers. I have seen Mr. Holland act over and over again. I admire that sniff. It Is a perfect triumph of nasal art, and ought to be patented. It Is that which has gained htm success, and in relying so much npon It Mr. Holland may be said to have followed his nose. He has certainly snuTed himself Into the affections or New Yorkers. The accommodations this summer along the Tlud- son are very superior. The steamers C. Vibbard and Daniel Drew belong to the Albany day line. ' One or them leaves New York every morning at seven, from Desbrosses and West Thirty-fourth street, and reaches Albany at four In the afternoon. Returning, you leave Albany at nine in the morning, and arrive here at six in the evening, touching at West Point, Newburg, Poughkeepsie, Rhlnebeck, Catsklll, and Hudson. So far as the scenery along the Hudson Is concerned, American voyageurs along the Rhine have no pre-eminence to boast of. There is no rea son for which to exchange the over-written Rhine land mountains for the romantic legends which halo the picturesque Hudson. It has been proposed and reproposed to open at various points throughout the city cheap reading rooms and places of Innocent amusement, the ex pense of which would be only a few pennies to every visitor. Readings, lectures, music, and chemical experiments are proposed as the "innocent amuse ments" In question. It may be sad, but It Is never theless true, that poor people In America, at any rate do not relish amusements which are gotten up solely for their benefit. They would rather go to see Sinbad once a year than hear every week the sixth rate readers and singers and lecturers who are always willing to volunteer. The plan has been tried here before, and Us success has not been dazzling. Be sides, poor young men and women like to "pick-up" one another as well as rich young people do, and these cheap entertainments afford them every op portunity. Whether, therefore, morality bids us countenance the cheap reading-rooms, I leave It to the easulstlcal readers of Thb Tblkukaph to de termine. Santa Anna's house on Staten Island is getting ready for him to die there, ene of the newspapers charitably hopes. He Is old enough. He thinks Staten Island Is the only Paradise extant, and Intends to write his autobiography during the dog-days. The reporters of the afternoon papers are rejoicing in the fact that they are to be admitted to the Spencer-Tyler wedding that is to take place this morning In ChrUt Church. A rumor was In circulation that the door was to be closed in the face of Jenkins, and that no portion of tiie venal press was to be per mitted the chance of tlunkeyumi. But that rumor Is now discredited, and the Etening Telegram of this city already has its cartooua for this afternoon pre pared. Yesterday evening's Express contained a card from Mrs. Clara F. Meado, or Philadelphia, begging the publio to suspend all judgment in the cose or her "unfortunate husband," Captain Meade, ami assur ing them that all his apparent viola' ions of truth and honor were only "incidental to his disease." "Where is Colonel Ryan?" Is tho cry. He Is not at ponce headquarters, that Is certain, for that estab lishment has been ransacked mure than once In the vain hope of discovering him. Some say that Offleer Downey, In whose charge Ryun was, connived at his escape ; aud others agree In Marshal Barlow's more charitable opinion that he was overpowered. It is "the general opinion" that he left the city on Thurs day night; and It "is currently reported" that he has made for Canada. But the detectives who failed to find the Rogers murderer cannot be expected, by ferreting out Ryan, to surpass the brilliant rests they performed last winter. A party of Cuban filibusters have ensconced themselves In Cooper's Hall, Jersey City. Their head-centre is a man calling himself Thomas Jennings, who gives out that he is getting up a Bllver-mluliig expedition for Nevada. In fact, he talks nothing but Nevada Its climate, produc tions, and Institutions. He knows nothing about Cuba, Is not aware of the existence or any other locality than Nevada. Nevertheless, Cooper's Hall and its surroundings have a very recruit-like aspect. It would not take much to make one trace In them a resemblance to soldiers' barracks. The recruits I beg pardon, the silver-miners are mostly Irish and German young men, who will be quite new to the climate of those northern diggings. But If I am clime, and beceme entangled semewhere In the West Indies Instead of the west United States. The closing of the Schntzenfest was postponed until last night Instead of yesterday afternoon, In consequence of the heat of the weather and the un pleasantness of tho early portion of the week. The Schutzenking for the year 1V9 is Mr. Oevert Menkln, who yesterday afternoon shot away the last remains of the double-headed eagln, and received the prize of the hundred-dollar golden medal and the fifty dol lars In currency. At 0 o'clock the coronation of the king was celebrated at the Bolvldere, and the floor was strown with natural flowers, cast there by one hundred picked boys and girls. The total value or the prizes distributed is about three ihousand dol lars. Last night the end came at last In a monster ball, and the Schutzenlest died out for another year. The European steamers are st ill going out crowded with passengers. The Hammonia and the Minne sota, which sailed yesterday afternoon, took out at least two hundred. It Is stated that Miss Kellogg is to sail on the 16th of July. Similar statements have sneaked Into tho newspapers several times, and it naturally becomes a question whether the lady intends going at all. If she only had as much voice as she has jealousy, she wonld bojalmost as great a singer as Parepa-Rosa. I love the latter singer with an E, because she Is tmbnmpnrnt. I hate her because she is envious. ' Her name is Kuphro syne. I will take her to the sign or the Elephant, and treat her to eggs, eels, and elderberries. Yesterday morning there was a private ritualistic baptism at Christ Church, Fifth avenne, the occasion being tho christening of the Infant child of the Rev. Dr. Euer, rector ol the church. The church was ablaze with tall candles, and the company was con fined to Dr. Euer's family and a few near friends and relatives. These formed a procession in the vestry and, headed by Fathor Brown, the assistant rector, and an acolyte bearing a lighted candle, proceeded to the font The Infant, Instead of being sprinkled BTCordlng to the established usage, was dipped, and that . three times, 'but since be was wrapped up In a white blanket, I don't suppose the water hurt him much. Father Brown acted as godfather, and young Alfred Euer, a lad or fifteen, aud one- of the choristers, officiated as sponsor. The baby was Judged too young to hold the candle, and, from the habit babies have or putting everything "pu table" Into their mouths and eyes, I have no doubt this de cision was a wise one. The candle, by-the-by, was likewise dipped three times, and then all parties re turned to the vestry, satisfied, perhaps, that after all ritualism Is the only plan of salvation worth a farthing. The performance was all over In a little while; and, looking at the many lighted tapers, one might wt-H have thought that the play was not worth the candles. An Baba. MUSICAL AJ1 DKA9IAT1C.

" I, Elizabeth Branson,, of Brndywin, Dela ware, formerly of Old Chester, DoUware. couuty, ra., do certify that for one yoar and a half I have suffered everything but death from that awful disease called Dyspepsia. My whole sys tem was prostrated with weakness and nervous debility; I could not digest my food;. If I ate even, a cracker, or the smallest amount of food, it would return just as I swallowed it;. I became so costive in my bowels that I would not have a "passage in lees than from four, and often eight days; under this Immense suffering nVy mind seerflcd entirely to give ay. I hud dreadful horror and evil forobodlngs; I thought everybody hated me, and I hated everybody; I could not bear my luiHband nor my own children; every thing appeared to be horror strkken to mo; I had no ambition to do anything I lost all love of family and home; I would ramble and wander from place- to place-, but could not be contontcd. I felt that I was doomed to hell, and that there was no me, and was often tempted heaven for to commit suicide. So near was my whole nervous system destroyed, and also my mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia, that my friends thought best to have me placed in Dr. Kirk- bride's Hospital, at West Philadelphia. I remained there niuo weeks, and thought I was a little bet ter, but in a few days my dreadful complaint was raging as bad as ever. Hearing of tho won derful cures performed by Dr. Wishart's Great American Dyspepsia Fills and his treatment for Dyspepsia, my husband called on Dr. Wishart and stated my case to him. He said he had no doubt he'could cure me. So in three days after I called and placed myself under tho Doctor's treatment, and in two weeks I began to digest my food, and, lelt that my disease was fast giv ing way, and I continued to recover f6r about three months, and at the present time I enjoy perfect health of body And mind, and I most sincerely return my thauks to a knerciful God and Dr. Wishart, and to his great American Dyspepsia Pills and treatment, that saved mo from an Insane Asylum and a premature grave. All persons suffering with Dyspepsia aro at liberty to call on mo or write, as I am willing to do all I can for suffering humanity. Elizabeth Branson, Brandywine, Del., formerly of Old Chester, Pa. Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia ! Mr. Wishart I have been a constant sufferer with dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during which time I cannot say I ever enjoyed a per fectly well day. There were times when tha symptoms wore more aggravated than at others, and then it seemed it would be a great relief to die. I had at all times an unpleasant feeling In my head, hut latterly my suffering so much in creased that I became almost unfit for business of any kind; my mind was continually filled with gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted to change their current by reading, at once a sensation of icy coldness in connection with a dead weight, as it -were, rested upon my brain; also a feeling of sickness would occur at the stomach, aud great pain in my eyes, accompanied with which was the continual fear of losing my reason. I also experienced great lassitude, debility, and nervousness, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep by night. I became averse to society, and disposed only to seclusion, and having tried the skill of a number of eminent physicians of various schools, finally came to the conclusion that for the disease at my present age (forty-five years), there was no cure in existence. But, through the interference of Divine Providence, to whom I devoutly offer my thanks, I at last found a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually removed almost tho last trace of my long list of ailments and bad feelings, and in their place health, pleasure, and contentment are my e very-day companions.
