Our Mauch Chunk Letter
April 21st, .1875,
That "tho spirit Is willing, but h
flesh Is weak" Is tho only reason I can
plead In excuse of any possible short
comings In tho contents of to-day's.
And what else could one expect ? No
person living can hopo to vlolato tho
laws of nature with Impunity. Tho
human system must havo Its seasons of
rest Just tho thing I'vo vainly striven
for slnco Saturday evening last, Tho
fact Is, wo, of Mauch Chunk, havo had
too much of a good tiling slnco then,
and now aro beginning to feel the ef
fects of over-exertion; and, although
there Is still mureoujoymcnt In store for
us for tho balance of tho week, many
would rather forego participation In
further pleasures If they only dared.
But on this point society and particu
larly Mauch Chunk society Is Inexor
able . There Is no such thing as resist
ing tho mighty whirlpool of fashion,
and slnco Maueh Chunk Jms decreed
that vie shall enjoy ourselves, wo shall
havo to drift with the current. But
few persons aro to be met on tho streets,
and of tho few ono does meet, tho maj
ority aro foot sore or la a state of ag
gravated drowsyness, superinduced by
a night's ovor-lntlulgcnco Intel psychor
can exercises. Well, the parado Is over,
tho Rescuo ball dono for, and the but
I anticipatel Tho "Spelling Bee" hav
ing first transpired, I needs bhould men
tion, this all-Important event In its rog
ular.order. That "Spelling Bees"aro all
tho rage you probably know. They are
grand affairs If properly conducted, but
their grandest greatness consists Ingo
ing tho latest and grandest humbugs,
and while amounting to little as a crl
terlon, expose us rather In tho uncnul-
able light of an illiterate nation who
consider that extraordinarlymorltorlous
In grown persons which ono Is entitled
to expect from any school-boy In his
teetiB tho ability to spell correctly. As
I said before, we havo had our "JSee,"
or rather a hlveful of bees, and such a
buzzlngl Tho spelling may well bo re
ceived as of secondary importance,slnco
the primary object nmu'soment was
fully attained. And a more orderly
and merry assemblago ono could not
havo wished to have met. What fun
tbero was in It, had to be sought lu tho
novelty of cho thing, and, looking at it
In this light probably no one had rea
son to complain of disappointment. In
fact we wero Indebted to the members
of the Y. M. S. A. for a perfectly suc
cessful first class sociable. Dispensing
with a tiresome recital of details, I shall
merely state that 22 "bees" had pre
sented themselves as anxious to partici
pate In tho buzzing; and that of those
22 bees some fought roost resolutely
against an adverso fate; it however so
happened in the natural course of
events that, after manyfold encounters,
and tho warding off-of many well aim--od
darts, Annie Wllhelm was declared
queen of the hive, ar.d Prof. Kllno per
mitted to bask in tho rays of her queen
ly presence as second. And whllo Her
Majesty received a Dictionary as a tok
en of appreciation, tho Prof, was pre
sented with a copy of Longfellow's
Poems. Thus ended the "Spelling
See," and, conscious of having pleas
antly spent an evening we migrated to
the land of Nod.to prepare for the things
to come.
The most anxiously Inqulrcd-for man
on Monday last wasSllsby & Co's. agent.
But tho agent dld'nt come, consequent
ly the projected trial of tho Marlon
Hose Company's new steamer had to be
dispensed with. Tuesday morning
found the boys busy as beavers, and
when tho hour determined on for tho
parade arrived, every one was ready
and at his post. At about noon tho
Keystone Cornet Band from Summit
Hill, who had volunteered to play for
the "Rescuo Hook and Ladder Co," ar.
rived, and were entertained by the mem
bers of the company at tho American
no tel. At 2 o'clock the procession
formed and paraded the accessible
streets of this Borough in this order

wero probably In voguo in "tho days

to the genius of tho presont era could
not well have been selcctodl It speaks
volumes In favor of the living present,
Tho various companies comprising the
Volunteer Fire Department of Mauch
Chunk, paraded nigh unto 200 men,
and as a merely local affair it has been
very creditable Indeed, Tho new
Steamer and Ladder Truck were, of
courso, tho main features of tha day.
and elicited tho admiration and favor
ablo comments of all, "Whore duty
calls, there you will And us" tho motto
selected and displayed by the "Rescuo"
boys was favorably received. On their
return from East Mauch Chunk, and
,prior to their march to Upper Mauch
Chunk, tho diftorent companies took
position on Broadway, In front ot tho
American' Hotel, from the steps of
which they were addressed In a very
felicitous manner by Hon. Allon Craig,
to whom, Chief Marshal, Gen. Berto
lotto, responded In behalf ot tho depart;
mcnt in happy style. Tito .procession
was then continued, and at about 0 o'
clock all had resumed Its wonted
qulot. Tho Rescuo Hook and Ladder
Company's ball, attracted quite a crowd
to Rhoad's Hall in tho evening. Tho
lino toiletts of tho many fair ones, tho
strict decorum of all, tho prevailing good
humor, and thozest with which dancing
was Indulged In until nearly four o
clock this morning, furnished a fitting
finalo to what had been a gala-day. It
is almost superfluous to say that noth
ing happened lo mar tho enjoyment of
nil. Tho drawing of tho Marlon noso
Company's Gift Entcrprlso will wind
fire matters to-morrow,or tho day after,
after which wo may predict tho return
of usual quiet, Yours,

If all places were liko Mauch Chunk,
there would be little need of statutes to
"prevent cruelty to animals." There
is said to bo in our midst a philanthrop
ist who, In heart's most tender mood,
has adopted as his own a motherless
"purp," which ho Is now trying to ralso
at tho bottle.
Acting ou tho " In time of pcaco
prepare for war" principle, tho publish
er of the Democrat has contracted for a
new engine, which ho hopes to have
put up In season to meet tho demands
of tho expected rush at tho time of re

J. W. Sclp, Esq., tho gentlemanly
conductor of a passenger train on tho

The Individual writing Items for tho
Morning Herald from this place, ap
pears to bo particularly endowed wjth
mo lacutcy or geuing tuings wrong,
ncro is what ho says In regard to the
petition ot citizens to tho School .Board,
asking tho refunding 'ot the amount
paid by Lehigh H. & L. Co. for tho
use of tho Hall on tho occasion of their
recent entertainment:
Our School Board, on motion of Dr.
N. B. Rchor, unanimously resolvod not
to grant tho petition ot tho citizens to
refund tho rent for tho School Hall
which tho Hook and Ladder Company
has paid for their late entertainment.
And hero Is the resolution as It elands
on tho minutes ot tho Board of April
14th:
"The petition of Lehigh Hook &
Ladder Co. was read. and. on motion
ot Dr. N. B. Reber, seconded by Mr.
R.J, Youngkin, was accepted and
ordered to be filed."
It will thus be Been that tho corres
pondent Is greatly astray of the truth
when ho says It "was unanimously re
solved not to refund the amount paid."
The petition was acted upon as abovo
on account of a press ot other and more
Important business, with tho view of
taking It up on some future occasion
for consideration and action. Bo suro
you are right before you write.

In tho condition of affairs In the coal
trade, the differences between tho com
panies, operators nnd miners mid labor
ers remain unsettled end seem to bo ns
far from adjustment as ovor, neither
party showing tho )cn9t disposition to
yield. In tho meantime business Is
almost suspended, and tho Interests of
the Stato almost stagnated, Tho ex
pectation that tho men In tho Lehigh
aud Wllkesbarro Company's mines
would commence work during tho week
has not been realized. Ten thousand
men are now Idlo In that district, and
havo formally announced their ability
and determination to hold out threo
months If tho advance of 10 per cent.
In their wages bo not conceded. There
are also several thousand miners nt
Wilkesbarre, employed by smaller com
panies, awaiting tho nctlou ot tho Le

their men. Iu the meantlmo tho Hydo
Park miners aro furnishing them with,

In tho Schuylkill regions there is com
paratively no work doing, tho niinets
aro evidently resolved to hold out to the
bifter cud. They boast ot efficient sup
port by other trade organizations. So
far as can bo judged from the temper ot
tho men and tho disposition of tho man

The School Entertainment.
Very agreeably disappointed wero
wo wnen we entered tho Public School
Hall last Saturday ovenlng, and saw
iho excellent arrangement of the staee.
curtains and scenery, and when, with
exceeding great pleasure, we witnessed
the variety of plays, conslstinc of ama
teur dramas, .comedies and tableaux.
and saw how well adapted each one
was to tlio part ho or she carried
from the smallest pupil to tho ndult
teacner, we wero still more acreeablv
disappointed. Indeed it was difficult
matter for us lo say who performed tho
best. Tho pupils did exceedingly well,
apparently somo excelled but tho pro
minence of tho parts they carried only
mado them appear more prominent.
Tho tableaux wero perfect. Tho teach
ers performed admirably and certainly
deservo great credit for tho admirable
training of tho littlo ones.'
Wo further learu that with tho a3
slstanco of a carpenter, tho sceneries
and curtains wero all prepared by tho
teachers and pupils, and tho prepara
tions for tho entertainments took only
about 2 weeks, a very short tlmo. Our
eachers aro a hard working corps, nnd
our Directors can well' bo proud of
having so well succeeded In satisfying
tho public during tho first term In tho
Now School Building. Wo learn that
tho proceeds of tho entertainment a
mounted to $87, Saturday evening's,
entertainment was witnessed by a
crowded houso all expressed groat satis
faction and tho universal desire was that
It should soon bo repeated.

During tho cold weather of tho latter

and somh at planting potatoes. They
say the tlmo Is hero aud that they
will wait no longer. Tho day has
como which tboy havo marked In tho
almanac, (some liavo great confidence
In particular days), nnd potatoes must
bo planted, or olso they will not turn
out. I agree with them they will not
turn out unless the pigs root "'cm out "
Tho roads aro again In a fair condi

every day, but I do not think tils dls
easo Is so very serious If ho will only
keep quiet, nnd don't get excited and
over his queer notions, ho may hold out
whllo the lock up is built. If I have tu
go in there with him, ns ho suggests I
should, I hopo they will put us in sep
aiato cells, for of all tho crazy.lunrjy or
Serious men you havo ever saw,ho goes
far ahead. Ho says the readers of tho
Advocate are Intelligent, I havo not tho
least doubt In tho world but what tho
readers are Just as woll aware of that
fact as ho is. For my part I novor had
any occasion to doubt it. I am so sorry
for him; but I think, by kind nursing-,
&c, he will be all right In a short time.
Whon I tell him tho first question tho
Council "cmsed and discussed," he
says ho is as well awaro of tho fact as I
am. I know that very well, and he Is
just right in eaylng ho is aware of lt,for
there is very little of anything that ho
Is not aware of In this town, aud If ho
Is not aware of It ho makos it his busi
ness to find it out, and then It might as
well be published; and again he goes on
in his mad ramblings aud says "Heav
en bless the borough fathers for look
ing so far ahead for tho benefit of our
city." I tako a frout seat along with
"Serious" and say, amen to It. Ho
goes on to say we havo only ono crazy
man in Parryville, such in tho publio
opinion. That may bo a fact, too; and
I rathor agree with him since reading
his last letter, but I did not think ho
would let his friends know he was so
badly afflicted, I hopo he will soon get
over It. "Serious" yoa had better stay
iu the house for tho moon Is getting full
and it don't agree with those that are
deranged, aud If you ever get better
como out again and niluglo with the
"law abiding people second to uono In
tho-Slato." I hopo tho readers of tho'
Advocato will not think so seriously of
my slang as my dear friend "Serious"
does; being in his not very good com
pany at different times Is where I learn
so much of it. Ono thing more and
then I finish, If your correspondent,
"Serious" goes crazy entirely he has
not far to go. Oney Jokin.
