The superintendent of the United States Mint has recently receiv ed letters from merchants nnd tradesmen n the rural district? inquiring as to tho val ue of the trade dollar, and whether it could be convened into smaller coin.

The proposed routo has been advocated many years, nnd It Is believed a strong flyndlcoto is formed with a viow to its con Btructlon immediately. Valuable fields of coal exist at Bernlco in Sullivan county, tho ,iiorthem terminal of tho line, while it passes through the best timber land in this State.

On Wednesday morning of last week tho Winona Fire Company mustering 21 men, accompnnled 'jy tho Bloomshurg Cornet Band with 20 members, went up to Pitts, ton ns the guests of tho Eagle Hose Com pany of that place, to attend a picnic at Jones' Lake. On reaching Pittston Junc tion the party was met by'n committee of Eagle Hoso and escorted to the Hose' House, where they were divided up Into' four squads and assigned to their hotels. Tho afternoon was spent by the visitors in viewing the town and making acqualn. tnnccs, and at six o'clock the parade of the lire department took place. Tho proces sion was led by the Bloomshurg Band and the Winouns, tho Niagara Engine company and Leek Band following, and Eagle Hoso with tho Thistle Band last. It was a very creditable parade and was witnessed by crowds along the line of march. The uni form of the Eagles Is red shirts, white leather hats, and black nants. and that of the Niagara Is similar to tho Winonas but of blue. Of our company the Pittston Ga. eltc says : "Tho'Winona Hoso company paraded 24 men. 'llicy were dressed in neat gray suits of coat and pants nnd white vests, and white duck caps. They are a fine body of manly men, and appeared to exceedingly good advantage. They were tho subject of flattering remarks along the entire routo of tlio procession." After the parade the visi tors were given a reception in tho elegant ly furnished rooms of the Eagles, where n welcoming speech wns mado by Col. K. Campbell, which was responded to by Geo. E. EI well. Refreshments wcro then served and a couple of hours very pleasantly spent. Late in tho evening tho Bloom band sere naded Burgess Welsh, and a number of other prominent citizcns,und then retired to a hall vfhero they discoursed some of their operatic selections. Their playing was very highly complimented. They never fall to do credit to our town when they go from homo. Tho Thistle and Leek Bands of Pittston aro also excellent organizations ma enjoy very nigh reputations, which nro well deserved. On Thursdny morning at 7 o'clock the excursion started for Jones' Lnko. This is a beautiful spot of wntcr In Wayne county about CO miles from Pittston nnd is reached by a gravity road, no locomotives or power of any kind being used the whole dlstanco except to make the ascent of 12 planes. The cars run at a rapid rate, and tho sce nery is grand beyond description. At tho Lako there Is a picnic ground wjth dunce platform, and tho day was pleasantly spent in dancing, boating, and other amusements, Quito n largo number of Plttston's fuir damsels graced tho oc casion with their prcsenco nnd thereby added greatly to tho pleasure of the day. The return trip was made lato In tho after noon, reaching Pittston ut about 7 o'clock. Tho boys spent another pleasant evening and returned homo Friday morning. They aro all loud in their praise of tho kind treatment they received, and vote the Eagle Hoso boys a set or perfect gentlemen whom they hopo to meet ngain, nnd endeavor to repay them for their hospitality, Tho citi zens of Pittston generally did all in their power to mnko tho visit pleasant and thep succeeded admirably. notes.

The pleasure of Imparting instruction ot1 information is always greater than the" pleasure of receiving It, because In tho rc-i clpicnt It Is a confession of ignorance. while to the communicator it is an Implied admission of sonic superiority. And It is well thnt It Is so, for were It otherwise, many persons would leave to chance tho acquisition of knowledge, or remain in1 Ignorance, because unwilling to admit their lack of knowledge. It therefore hap. pens well nnd wisely that writing gives to the one less direct importance in commu nicating, and offers to the other more free dom In acquiring, and both nre happy. This place is said to be 2008 feet above tide-water, and Is therefore moro than 1500 feet higher than Bloomshurg, und Is the highest point on the Phlla. & Eric rail road. It is a sort nf knoll on tho moun tain, comprising about a hundred acres, and beyond which tho ground falls off, but subsequently rises again though not to tho samo altitude. Tho town, when built, will therefore he a conspicuous one, em phatically "a city set upon a hill, whose light, if tlio flow of natural gas continues, cannot be hid. It contains, say one hun dred housos, ten or a dozen of them being shops for the sale of dry goods .and grocer. les, fivo or six of them hotels, nnd on the north-western declivity quite extensive stone railroad repair-shops. Wo aro told here of new roads which will bo completed this fall and which will make this quite a railroad centre: which, considering we are on tlio top of the Allegheny mountains, seems rather queer. But wc aro just be ginning to sec the day of queer things. Wc arc about 100 miles from Northum berland, and about 05 from Eric. On the lino of tho road aro the important towns of Milton, Muncy, Willlnmsport, Jersey Shore, Lock Haven, Rcnova, Driftwood, Emporl urn, St. Mary's, &c, besides n long list of smaller ones.

Water Is not plentiful hero, and it must be confessed that tho want of a creek, riv er or lako Is a great drawback to tho sltua. tlon ; othcrwiso everything you could wish, It Is true thcro is a beautiful Bprlng a few rods from tlio house, tho water of which Is as clear and soft ns if IL flowed from tho eyo of Pity but if, Instead of losing Itself amongst tho rocks and mosses, It expanded into a lako or a roaring mouutnlu torrent It would add a hundred per cent, to tli attractiveness of tills pleasant resort. From tho last remark it may bo Inferred that I am fond of water, and so I am. I know of nothing which has dono so inl'cl ior navigation as water ami in mat rcgaru Eaglesmcro has great advantages over this place, In Its most beautiful lake, If thcro wcro a hotel there equal or nearly so to this, in its appointments and accessories, tho lako on which tho eye over rests with pleasure would carry tho tourist, the louu ger and tho health-seeker to Lewis' Lako at Eaglcsmcic. But until some modem hotel, with largo looms, high celling v nub stautlul partitions, wide ami vxtonslv poichcs, nnd above all clean, roomy ac. ccsslblo and yet private ofllces for guests ot different sexes U erected, the natural attractions cannot and will not overcome tho necessities, requirements nud proprle- tics ot social nnd civilized lifo.

The coal of Bcrnlcc, tlio lumber of Sullivan, tho iron nnd other minerals of Northern Columbia would find a market and constnnt demand at and through Bloomshurg, and bo largely returned to their places of deposit in money and sup. piles. The bug-bear of damage, danger and Inconvcnlcnco from proximity to a railroad which used to frighten pcoplo into ppositlon to tho construction, is no lonircr formidahlo. A common public road brings more annoyances. In settling and amine- ing with a railroad company the right of way, have tho survoy accurately made, thoground staked off, the contract for crossings and the places where they nro to bo located ascertained and agreed to, and especially a provision that tho railroad company must make, keep and maintain tlio fences nlong its line of road on both sides ; nnd you aro quito securp from all special annoynn ccs and dangers. The tops of tho mountains are no longer 'deep solitudes." tho scream of the loco motive "is over them all," und everything becomes subservient to this advancing civilization. No doubt the mining of coal, and iron, the sinking otnumcrous oil wells, tho tunneling for railroads, docs greatly ef fect nnd reduce the water supply which has theretofore come to the surfaco j and tho cutting away of the forests has no doubt interfered with the rainfall, and tho ability of the denuded earth to retain mois ture i but much of tho talk about destroy. ing tho forests is mere buncombe. Thcro comes u timo when a tree has arrived at tho perfection of its growth and development, where tlio bark Is at its best, tbo wood or fiber tha.llrmest ; and then it begins to de cay. At that point of perfection it should be used, not left to waste and decay. The smaller and Immature timber will soon fill the open spaces. No doubt there Is of- ten nn indiscriminate destruction which Is reprehensible, bufl am of opinion that mostly the owners will not kill tho goose that lays tho goldan egg, but select and se lect, and thus havo n continual growing crop of valuable forest product.
