Tho first re-unlon was held last year, but on account of the stormy day thero was not near tho attend nnce that would have been had it been a pleasant day. However, an organization was made by electing Stephen Hess of Ea9tou, as president, and Cora L. Hess of Rupert as secretary. A resolution was al so passed that an annual rc-umon would be held. No paper can bo published without home patronage, and every one is interested in keeping up a homo paper. If a railroad or factory is wanted, tho news-papers are ex pected to work for It. It a public meeting Is wanted for any purpose, tho newspaper la called upon for a trco notice. If any ot tho societies have a supper or reception of Any kind, tho newspaper is expected to givo tho necessary notice. The news paper must pull tho schools and everybody else, to advance tho Interests ot tho busi ness men of tho place, and then give them a handsome notice when they pass away. And yet somo of them do nothing to keep up a homo nowspapcr. Mrs. Btongu of Qrovanla met with an ac cident Tuesday morning.

Tho horso being re. llcvcd started at a moro rapid gait but was caught by O. A. Kleira. Mrs. Btongo was taken back to I. W. McKelvy's store, and after resting for awhllo started for her home. Tho Bloomsburg Water Company have laid a number of 13 inch pipes leading from the cngino house and also to the mains, for uso in 11 ro protection. The large pipe will be continued above the reservoir, to the sito tor tho new reservoir, which will bu built next season. Monday evening tho connection was made with tho mains. At about 11 o'clock a number of citizens went to see tho pipe broken whllo pressure was upou it. Tho water was shut oil at tho rcsevolr, but a column of water remained In tho pipo equal to about 50 feet. Tho heavy plpo was struck twice with a largo sledgo when tho water shot up in a volume of about 0 Inches, and throwing a spray many feet around. It lasted only a minute until tho pipe was drained, when tho connection of ne pipo was mado and at sunriso water was again tamed on tho mala.

Complaints aro general throughout tho county that tho census has not been prop erly taken. Bloomsburg seems to be satis, fled with tho work of Its enumerators, Messrs, Peacock nnd Kllno. Tho rosult Is not aa largo as was expected, but this Is not tho fault of the enumerators. According to semiofficial figures given tho population of our chlif cities will bo New York, 1,027,227, Chicago 1.035,000. Philadelphia 1,010,450, Brooklyn, 030,070.

Uo spoko feelingly of his long connection with the school, and of the courteous treatment he had always recelv cd from tho Board. He also spoko of tho Faculty, and gave them their full share of credit for the present prosperous condition of tho school. Mr. Neal responded, and accepted the keys with regret, though he was glad to be ablo to hand them over to a worthy successor. He then presented tho keys to Prof. J. P. Welsh the new Princi pal, who accepted tho responsibility In a few well chosen words. ALUMNI MKETINfl A meeting ot the Alumni was Ik Id lu the chapel at one o'clock. Dr. Waller pre sided.

At two o'clock tho hall intended for tho Manual Training department, in tho new wing of tho Dormitory, was thrown open, whero a collation awaited iho Alumni, the Faculty, the Trustees and tho trtends. In the centre of tho hall was a long tablo loaded down with good things, and small tables and chairs filled tho room. The gentlemen wero requested to servo the vi ands, and this duty they performed llko trained waiters. Tho dinner was provided by tho school, and tho menu embraced ham and tonguo sandwiches, coffee, pickles. cake, bananas, ornnges, bon-bons, nuts, raisins, lemonade and Ico cream. It was tho unanimous verdict that it was tho most successful event ot the kind in the history of tho school. Heretofore tho dinner has been served at one of tho hotels, and the attendanco has been from 60 toa 80 people. Tho formality ot a courso dinner rendered them rather still affairs. Two hundred or moro paitook ot tho collation last week, and all formality was dispensed with. Mr. and Mrs. Stiles and their assistants pre pared tho refreshments, and a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered them for tho very satisfactory manner In which they dia. charged their duty. When all appetites wero appeased, Dr. Waller called for order, and a courso of mental pabulum was begun. Tho follow ing program was presented: Bong, Mess. Yost, Bears, Bldleman, Yctter. Col.

TRIP, On tho 21st day ot Juno lt was tho prlvl lego of tho writer to set out on a trip to Boston, (or tho purpose of attending tho Blxth Annual Convention of tho National Editorial Association. Taking tho earn at Bloomsburg our party of four, reached Northumberland, without Incident worthy ot note. It was a stormy day, and tho rain made travelling more pleasant by settling the dust. At Northumberland wo board cd tho Pennsylvania Railroad, ono ot tho most liberal corporations in tho State. In my travels through tho states ot New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhodo Island and Massachusetts I (ound nowhere moro comfortablo and elegant appointments, or more considerate trcatmont than at tho hands of tho Pennsylvania. The most luxurious coaches, tho most rapid locomo lives, tho most poltto employees, road beds trco from dust by reason of stone ballast, rendered tho trip whllo on tho lino of this company, a most delightful ono. Wo reached Now York in the evening at about six o'clock, nnd registered at tho Hotel Glcnhnm. Shortly aftor being shown to our rooms we wero waited upon by tho bell boy, who asked If wo were entirely satis- fled with our quartors. Not being Just what wo wanted wo were given moro dc8lrablo rooms. This extra attention at a fashionable metropolitan hotel, being somewhat unusual, was a subject of com mcnt, nnd wo could not understand it un til we learned that tho proprietjr of the house, Mr. N. B. Barry, formorly was tho Proprietor tho Herdlc Houso at, Williams- port, and his chief clerk, Mr. John D. Ward, was at ono time tho proprietor of tho Valley Houso at Wllkcs-Barre. Our names being familiar to tho latter secured is many courtesies. Tho Glcnham Is lo- cated on Fifth Avenue, below 32nd street. It Is not a largo hotel, but it is homelike, and everything about It is comfortable and pleasant, and it Is freo from the hurly.bur. ly of larger houses The table Is run on tho European plan, and the cooking la un surpassed. Wo would advtso our friends to try the Glcnham, whllo In New York. Tho forenoon of tho first day In New York was spent in Central Park. It would be presumptuous to attempt to describo a spot so well known. Among the points of interest hero aro the lakes, the statues, tho Mall, tho Zoological garden, Cleopatra's needle, tho Art Gallery, and tho lovely drives. Hundreds of acres of land aro in closed in tho park, and It Is all kept like a beautiful lawn. We could not help con trasting it with Falrmount Park in Phlla. dclphia, which latter place wo visited on our return journey. Falrmount seems to bo turned to utility rather than beauty, and its broad acres are devoted to raising hay rather than to the cultivation of lawns. In the afternoon a trip was made to Coney Island, when wo met eight other people from Bloomsburg by cbanco. Their names have already appeared In the CoLUuniAH. Coney Island is tho great re. sort for New Yorkers who can spend but a day or two at tho seashore. There aro magnificent hotels, and cheap eating bouses. All kinds of entertainments abound, including minstrel shows, merry-go-rounds, toboggan slides, razzle-dazzles and hundreds ot catch penults. These aro all in operation seven days in tho week, and Sunday is their especial harvest. The bathing is good here and thousands of people in bathing suits lined tho shore. Our second day in Now York was spent in visiting the Block Exchange, included a trip over the Brooklyn bridge, ono of the most wonderful pieces of mechanical engineering in tho world, and an inspec tion of Trinity Church. In tho church-yard is a monument erected to the memory nf Capt. James Lawrence of "Don't glvo up the ship" fame. He was killed June 16, 1813 while commander of the Ches apeak, in an action with tho British vessel Shan non, off Boston Harbor. Capt. Lawrence was a cousin of my great-grandmother. We also visited tho building of tho Mutual Life Insuranco company, from tho roof of which is obtained a magnificent view of the city. The building is eleven Btories in height and towers abovo all its surround ings. In this building Charles Unangst Esq. baa his office, and we made him a a brief call. Ho is very pleasantly located, and commands a largo law practice At 5.30 on Monday, June 33, wo boarded a steamer or the norwicii line. ino steamer was crowded with passengers, many of tnem being editors and their wives on their way to Boston, (rom almost every state in tho Union. Badges were at onco produced and pinned ou tho coat, showing whero each one was from, lt did not tako long to become acquainted, and the hours until midnight wero passsed in social enjoyment. New London was reached at ono o'clock in tho morning, but the passengers were not nroused until Si when they took a train (or Boston, arriv ing there at 7 a. ra. Tho Norwich lino o( which I spoko last week, extended the courtesies of transportation to tho dele gates to tho convention. Their boats aro swift and safe and tho treatment received (rom the hands ot tho officers and em ployees was courteous and considerate. These boats leavo daily from Watts street New York, and tho (aro to Boston is only $4.00. Excellent meals can bo obtained on tue steamer. DOBTON. About tho first thing that strikes a stranger on his arrival at the "Hub" is tho crooked streets. Tho city, at least the old er portion ot it, docs not seem to be laid in accordance with any plan. The streets run In every direction llko net work, and all tho corners are acute or obtuse angles. It is said that tho streets wero laid out on cow paths, and I hello vo it. And I also believe that tho cows that mado thoso paths did not have anyaparticular point in view when they started out, but simply wandered aimlessly about without a com pass. The dome of tho btato capitol ia of gilt, and is said that it can be seen (rom any polut on entering the city, as it stands on a hill near the famous Common. Tak ing tho domo as a guide ono morning I started towards it, but the street was so crocked that when I again got a glimpse of tho domo 1 was farther from It than when I started. I mado several efforts to reach it, but each time with tho same result, the winding streets carrying me off to somo more distant point. Finally I took a street car, and thus reached my destina tion. When you inquire of a Bostontan con cerning tho location ot any particular point bo docs not tell you as in Philadel phia, that It is so many blocks away. Ho tells you how many minutes walic it is. Among tho points of interest visited wero tho Commons, the Public Gardens, rich In rare tropical plants, tbo Art Build ing, Trinity Cuurch, ot which tho famous Dr. Phillips Brooks is rec,pr, Harvard Col. lege, Bunker Hill Monument, the Museum, Old South Church, Boston Harbor of which I wrote last week, the old grave yard dat ing back to 1020, whero the parents ol Benjamin Franklin, and Samuel Adams aro burled. We also raw tho dm under which Washington took command of the American troops in 1775. A marble tab let records this (act. Tho hospitality of Boston people Is- delightful, Every pos slblo attention was shown tho visitors, and nothing moro could have been done to I make our stay agreeable. Ou Wuluud&y June 20, leaving the others ot our party In Boston I went down lo tho bcautKul city of Hartford, Conn., whero I met nlno of my col I ego classmates, and we held a reunion to eclcbrato tho twentieth anniversary of our graduation In tho class of 1870 at Trinity College. I returned to Boston next day. 0( Boston, tho proud and wealthy city, rich In historical memories, cultured and refined, columns might bo written, but this is not the time or place Every history la full of lt. On Saturday morning, Juno 28, we boarded tho cars o( tho Old Colony railroad nnd wont to Nowport, It. I. tho most tashlonnblo resort in America. It is on Narragansctt Bay, flvo miles (rom the ocean. It Is on a declivity (aclng tho har bor, nnd has n stato house, custom house. city hall, tho Redwood Library, contain. ing yu.uuo volumes, and other public build. lugs. Tho "old stono mill" is one o( its chle( attractions. No ono seems to know when this structure was built. It has been a tlieino of much learned discussion. It stands in a little park In tho heart of the city and Is surrounded by an iron railing It is circular in form, being probably 30 feet in diameter, aad Is supported on sev en pillars. It is built of small stones and mortar, and whatever Its origin, It is won derful how lt has withstood tbo ravages of time. It looks as though it might havo been built but yesterday. It Is asserted by somo antiquaries to havo boon built by the Northmen 500 years before Columbus dis covered America, and this is the theory that tho Nowport pcoplo llko to encourage But tho probabilities aro that lt was a wind mill erected by ono ot tho early governors o( tho colony somo distance this sldo ot Columbus. Bellevuo Avenue, lined with beautiful villas, Is ono ot tho finest streets in the land. It Is tho principlo thoroughfare, and nt fashionable hours Is crowded with elegant equipages. Horses of;tbo highest breed, harness mounted ih gold or silver; coachmen and footmen In tho grandest liveries, after tho most approved "English" style, can be seen everywhere. Our atten tion was particularly attracted by an equip age in mourning. A lady dressed in dctp black sat in a luxurious carriage, the coachman and footman wero attired in black broadcloth, tho horses wero black, tho harness was black, and tho pug dog on tho lady's lap had on n black blankoL It was to mo a most remarkable exhibition o( grief, for it seemed as though there coul d bo but little heartfelt sorrow where thero was so much outward display. But per haps I do not understand tho ways of tho (ashlonablo world. It may bo that such an exhibition Is just the proper caper among tho millionaires who spend their summers in this beautiful city. Among tho most attractlvo summer homes hero are thoso of tho Astors, tho Vanderbullts, the Goolcts, and othur New York million aires. In tho evening wo took a sail in the harbor in what h known as a "cat boat. " It Is a sail boat about 25 (ect long and about 10 (eet wldo. The caotaln was a jlte long sailor, and was thoroughly fami 'lar with tho harbor. Ho was very pollto and mado our trip a pleasant ono by call. Ing attention to all points of Interest. Among them were Fort Adams, ono ot the most costly and oxpensivo fortifications in the United States, tho Purgatory Rocks, the Hanging Rocks, Bpoutlng Cave, the Glen, tho ruined Fort Louis, at tho en trance of tho harbor, and its surrounding rocks called tho Dumplings. It was near ly sunset as wo started out, and tho waters of tho harbcr wero as smooth as glass. We sailed in and out among the yachts lot the Newport fleet anchored there, and the cap tain pointed out to us many woll known vessels belonging to wealthy men o( New York. Wo passed Llmo Rock Light house tho homo of Graco Dirllng, who in her timo has saved oloven lives. Sho Uvc3 on a comfortablo salary paid iby tho govern ment, and keeps a red light burning at night. At tho upper end of tho bay is the new house being erected by Mr. Morgan. It Is almost indcsribable in architecture. It stands on a bluff, and seems to rlso out out of tho rock. Ills moro Grecian than otherwise, and is reached (rom inland by a stone bridge. From tho water it can only bo reached by climbing nearly 100 feet of almost perpendicular rock. It is hard to tell which is the front of tho hojso, but I should say that tho back of it is tho front of it. As wo sailed around tho blurt wo saw tho remains of tho Uessio Rogers, a vessel that was sunk by colliding with another ship. Sho was drawn to the shore, and tho hole In tho side made by the other vessel can bo plainly seen. As wo returned down tho harbor the scono was a very brilliant one All the yachts were illuminated by electric lights, and on their decks wero gay and brilliant parties of ladles and gcutlcmcn, some sing ing and some dancing to lino music. Wo sailed so close to somo of them that it seemed as though n collision was Inevi table, but our skillful captain always steer, ed us clear of daneer. But timo passes on, and wo must hasten lo tho pierot tho Fall River Btcamer which wo aro to tano ror wow York. Our cap. tain lands us thero safely, and wo bid him farewell. Shortly after 0 o'clock thero appears in sight what looks liko a floating palace. As It lands at tho plor it looks a veritable Lo- vialhan. Tho magnificent steamer Puritan is before us, the finest boat that navigates Long Island Bound. Wo had heard boforo ot tbo magnificence of tho boats of tho Fall River Lino, but this surpasses all our expectations. As wo outer wo find luxurl anco on every side. Btrains of delicious music fill tbo air, and as wo enter tbo grand saloon wo find it comes (rom an or. chestra of 15 pieces stationed on the second deck. Our state rooms, previously seenr. cd in Boston aro soon (ound. and after de positiug our luggage wo aro ruady to enjoy the sail down tbo sound. It was a perfect night. The moon shono on itho waters, and wo clambered to tho upper deck. Here wero llfo boats and rafts, and life preserv. ers, and all tho means of safety In case ot accident, but wo had no need (or them. Tho sound was as calm as a mill pond, and tho steamer moved without any perceptible motion. Years ago when a young man I used to steam up and down tho sound, but I never In all my experience found a moro perfect night. On .ho boat wero a number ot Yalo studeuts just (rom tho races at New London, whero Yalo beat Harvard, and they mado tho night resound with cheers (or Yale. They also sang somo col. lege songs which carried us back same twenty years, but wo retrained (rom join ing in tho chorus (or tear of frightening tho passengers. Tho night passed and we landed In New York. Taking tho Pcnn aylvanla train we reached Philadelphia on Sunday morning, June S9th, and on Mon day morning wo continued our Journey home, after ten days of one ot tho most de. llghtod trips ot our lives, uui just Here l want to say that of all tho sights of Boston Harbor, of Fall River, of Long Island Bound, or anywhere, wo saw nothing moro bcautKul, nothing more attractive than the green bills, and tho lovely scenery ot tho Susquehanna valloy or tue old Keystone Btato.

Tho census ot Bloomsburg shows that tbo population numbers 4G51.

The lncreaso in tho last decado has been 052. With its present prosperity, and the numerous new industries, tho next ton years ought to show a much larger per ccntago ot lncreaso than ever be (ore. There is a reason (or the slowness of grow. th from 1870 to 1880. Before that timo tho mining of iron ore gavo employment to a large number of men. Most of tho mines have been worked out, and a groat many of thoso who earned their living by delving under ground havo sought other fields, and moved away with their families. Ten or flfieen years ago it was an every day sight to sco four horso teams hauling oro through Iho streets of tho town. Now only an occasional wagon load is to be seen. Most of the oro used at tho furnaces is brought from Snyder county, Maryland and Virginia. But with tho decline of this mtans of employment now industries havo arisen, and there lsievcry reason to believe that our town is destined to grow as never before At a meeting of tho Board ot Trustees of the West Chester Normal School last week, the following resolutions of regret at the resignation ot Prof. Welsh and wlfo were passed unanimously : Resolved; That in tbo removal ot Profes sor J P.
