MANNERS AND Ct'HTOMS. TuMug the rennnylvania and Erie Railroad at Kutibury, ud crossing the North Branch, (he fit st slop is made at NORTHUMBERLAND, a potty little town situated on a point of and fotiuod by the confluence of the North and West Brunches of the Susquehanna. There aro a nuinlu r of fine churcliea here, and con Biddable business is done. Passing Lewis burg, our iif xt atop is at MILTON, tLe wt stem terminus of the Catawissa Ilail road, and the site of that company's fine car works. The town itself is by far the ne.Uest, olearu-st, aiul most orderly of any town of its size in this section of the State. Its situation, on the high bluff of the West Branch, is per fectly enchanting, and its houses remind me of whBt Dickpns has said of one of the towns in the Eastern States namely, that they look as though they were taken in in the evening and set out again in the morning. It is the birth place and former residence of the lion. James Pollock, the present Director of the United States Mint in your city, and I have no desire to indulge in adulation when I say the Governor reverses the maxim, and is as good a prophet in his own country as out of it at least the Miltonians say so, and I'm willing to take their word for it. The business of Milton is of the varied cha racter incidental to an agricultural district. The hiurounding country, on every side, is most beautiful, and prosperity appears to be An epidemic. In the town a number of im provements are being made, the principal one of which is a new Opera House, a commo dious and imposing building. From Milton up the valley the country is rolling and mountainous, but there is nothing of particular note until we reach the city of WILLIAMSPORT. The situation of this inland city is not so favorable to the eye as many other places along the West Branch of less note, and yet there is such a degree of activity and energy about everything as to render the plaoe most agreeable to those who either visit it as a mutter of business or pleasure. The ground upou which a great portion of the city is built has at one time been low and swampy, but to-day the streets are as dry and regular as those of Philadelphia. Most of them are laid with the Nicolson wood pavement, and a passenger railroad traverses the principal streets from one end of the town to the other. On the opposite side of the river from the city are the Uald Eagle Mountains most appro priately named, I hope, although I must con fess I haven't seen anything in the shape of our glorious American bird in my travels over them. These mountains are massas of disjointed rouks, pitched helter-skelter to gether and covered to their very tops with trees of rather Until recently these supposed to be of recently Dr. Hepburn doubtful beauty, hills were not any value, but of this place, in conjunction with Mr. J. D. Potts, of the "Empire Line" in your city, have opened a quarry of the most beautiful black marble I have ever seen. Through the kindness of Dr. Hepburn I have visited this wonderful quarry, which is situated in "Black Marble" or Mosquito valley, in the Bald Eagle Moun tains, about four miles from the city. The marble lies in thick layers or shelves on the side of a hill, and is easy of access. During the time that your correspondent was on the ground a mass of the stone weighing about rive tons wus lifted from its bed and tumbled down among the other great chunks that were awaiting hhipiu&nt. This stone is hard and durable, on d is susceptible of the most bril liant poli.-k. A cubic foot of the stone weighs 1!h pound. Its discovery certainly opens a new era in the history of this section. Passing on up the side of the mountain, over a road which no man would certainly desire to call smooth, I had an opportunity of seeing one of the trout-breeding estab lishments which have become so famous of late years. I desired the boy who acted as chaperon to our party to tell me the name of the place, that I might give it to the readers of The Ti xkoraph, but he assured me that the place "hadn't no name;" therefore I can only say that the establishment belongs to a Mr. Kean, of New York, and some of the citizens of Williamsport. Our first glance was at the lower and largest of a series of ponds built in the channel of a crystal-like moun tain torrent, for the special accommodation of the scaly delicacies. Here in the shade of an overhanging tree were hundreds of trout, measuring troin six inches to eighteen. Fur ther on we came to another pond, with fewer fish in it, but are much larger than the last. Next to this was another pond, literally crammed with the finest fish I have ever Been. They darted from us, and displayed their speckled sides as we approached, and flew to the opposite side of the pond, and did cot even deign to .sniff the flies and grasshoppers which we caught and threw to them. They were a little invidious, we thought, for no sooner had our red-sbirted guide made his appearance than they assem bled before him and made voracious darts at every stick and stone he deigned to toss them. With more contempt for our finny friends than we cared to express, we passed on up the torrent, visiting a number of smaller ponds, all containing fish, until we arrived at the breeding-house, a large, com modious building, with windows, etc; in a word, the same as a dwelling-house, with the exception of an upper story. Here we saw the troughs in which the spawn is deposited, and various other things of interest. But the little troutlets were troutlets no longer: they had assumed the dignity of fishhood and gone to take their chances in the pools Lelow. To thope who have never quaffed the waters of these mountain springs, or felt the cool invigorating air, even in dog-days, no pen can describe the beauties of a ride through the mountain gorges. Returning to the city, many beautiful and novel sights were pre sented to the eye. Among these I may men tion the natural water-works which supply the city with clear spring water. Pipes have been laid from a dam away up in the moun tain, far above the level of the city, and through these the water is conducted down the valley and thence across the river to the city. Following the water-pipes until we reach the banks of the river, we pass on about two miles above the city proper to what are known as the "booms." There are two of those "booms" above' the city, and are owned and kept in repair by a company, to which every lumberman whose logs float on the river is compelled to pay a certain sum for every log caught in them. What is called a "boom" is a series of piers built in the river, and rising far above low-water mark. They extend from one side of the river to the other in the shape of an echelon, and the largest is perhaps over a mile from one end to the other. They are used to catch the logs as they come down- the river during the high water, and present a most imposing ap pearance even now, with the acres of saw-logs locked in their strong embrace and held tight until their owners call for them. One would naturally wonder -how, among so many mil lions of logs, some of them did not fall into hands other than those of their rightful owner. This is, however, obviated by each log having ts owner's name stamped upon it. To these logs and booms Williamsport, without ques tion, owes its present importance. Saw mills abound on every side, and stacks of lumber of every conceivable kind and quality confront you at almost every turn. The saw-mills are of the most improved kind, and I yesterday stood by in the "Dodge Mills" and watched a log drawn from the pool, placed on the saw frame, sawed into twenty-four boards and slabs, and the residue CHt into laths and tied into bundles ready for shipment, in less than fifteen minutes. Some idea of the magnitude of these mills may be had, when I state that six logs are going through the same process that I witnessed all at the same time. Little or nothing goes to waste about one of these mills; the saw-dust is consumed in generating the steam, and I hear that the splinters are to be made up into clothes-pin and tooth picks. Williamsport of the past has been the scene of gigantio strides; to-day she is standing stock still. The lumber trade is dull, and this affects other things. Her future is an enigma. It may be that the recently discovered marble quarries will start new enterprises, but should this not take place, Williamsport will proba bly be forever more the same Williamsport she is to-day, with less money and less busi ness. bhe now has a population of some twenty-five thousand. Coupled with everything of a publio nature about Williamsport is the name of Mr. Peter Herdic, a man who a few years since split shingles by the day at one of the mountain saw-mills. His cognomen of "Peter the Great" is most appropriate, for assuredly he has shown himself to be great in more in stances than one. His hotel is one of the largest and most complete in the State outside of the city of Philadelphia, while his park and countless other things which his magio hands have touched will stand as a monument of his fame despite the odium in which hia name is held by many of the citizens of the city which he unquestionably "runs" to suit himself. A clever volume might well be written of the doings of this maD, and it may be that this suggestion will find a place in his fruitful mind, and the book be written. My letter has already assumed larger pro portions than it should, but still I do not feel like leaving the readers of The Telegraph in the many towns I have passed through with out a word. A more generous, hospitable, and social people it has never been my for tune to fall among. There is a degree of solidity about them which we do not always find in the city, and a delightful absence of much of the "tomfoolery" and nothingness which city people fancy is "nobby," and hence la mode. Men are as sharp and business-like in their habits in the country as elsewhere, but there is a degree of freshness and frankness about them that is charming and refreshing. The hospitality and bonfiomie of the housewives come in for a share of my admiration, and the girls almost make a "feller" wish that he "hadn't swore off." Like Rip Van Winkle, I wonder if a "feller" couldn't take "just one, and not count it." The weather here is perfectly delightful, and so is your own Index. FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF 8AFI J.
