Til 13 SEW STEAMER,
"Pocono No. 1," built for the borough,
hv the Clapp & Jones Manufacturing Com
vanv. of Hudson, N. Y., reached here in
safety, on "Wednesday of last week. As a
specimen of excellent workmanship and
tatc, she is as near a perfect machine, as
w in our meagre mechanical knowledge,
can conceive of ; handsome is hardly the word
to be used in describing her appearance;
the is more than that she is beautiful, and
an ornament of which all our citizens may
well feel proud. In form she is unique, un
like the machines of any other manufacturer ;
and in finish, and completeness and utility
of narts eoualled by none, not excelled, cer
tainly, by any of the many we have seen.
The running gear of the Pocono, whether
for locomotion or work," with the exception
of the wheels, are of polished iron and steel,
while her ornaments and many of her work
ing parts arc of German silver, brass and
copper. The jacket of her boiler is of Ger
man silver, highly polished, while the dome
is covered with brass, of the color of what
used to be known as French gold, relieved
with narrow bands of German silver, equally
well finished. Her steam chest is banded
with (Herman silver and topped with brass,
both highly finished, and her air chamber is
inaae oi p.amu .fa
as to answer wen me purposes ui a uuuur,
in addition to those for which it was de
signed. The pump-box is of brass, and
could not possibly be made neater than it is
If we were posted technically we might enter
into a minute description of all the parts of
which the machine is composed, but as we
are not, we content ourselves with the asser
tion, from which we intend no drawback,
that no town in the State or Union can pos-
siblv turn out a neater, handsomer steamer
than can Stroudsburg.
But it is not of the beauty of Pocono No.
1, alone that we boast. Her manufacturers
have done wonders on her in this respect,
but they have done infinitely more for them
selves by way of reputation, and for Strouds
burg by w.iy of utiliity, in the superiority of
her working powers. In the several trials
had of her capacity she has proved herself
fally up to all requirements, and satisfied all
our people that she is just the thing needed
to save U3 from exhorbitant insurance pre
miums, and to protect our property against
fire. In this respect she showed wonderful
pteam raising and preserving qualities, and a
power in raising and forcing water equal to
any emergency that can possibly arise.
In the trials of Friday and Saturday, the
elements appeared to be against her, but she
proved fully equal to the opposition, and
presented a record quite creditable to her.
The trial of Friday, was unofficial and under
taken merely to gratify the curiosity of any
v. Lo might choose to look on. Owing to the
heavy rain storm prevailing, the trial was of j
but short duration but eminently satisfac
tory.
The trial on Saturday was official, and
hence we are enabled to give somewhat of
a record kept of her performance. Her first
effort was with 1 and 3-16 inch nozzle
through 100 feet of hose, during which her
stream reached 20S and 216 feet, in face of a
heavy wind, and through a damp, murky
and extremely dense atmosphere. Through
a 1 aud 1-S inch nozzle, against the same re
sistants, she made 235 feet. Through the
same sized nozzle and 500 feet of hose,
against the same resistants the made ICO
feeL Through the same sized nozzle, and
against the same resistants, with 1078 feet
of hose her stream covered 135 feet in length.
All who saw these tests coincided in the
opinion that they were not fair tests of ca
pacity, owing to the resistants named as well
as to the fact that the hose were not suffi
ciently strong to stand the pressure when
the steamer was worked to its full capacity.
On Saturday afternoon the steamer was
removed to the lower end of town, and
placed on the bridge, over McMichaels creek.
Here she drew water through twenty-two
feet of suction hose, and up a perpendicular
height of seventeen feeL No measurement
was taken of the work done here, but every
thing judged comparatively with the work
done by the Peto Steamer in September
last This was through an inch and a quar
ter nozzle and one hundred and fifty feet of
hose, when the stream was forced at least
twice the height of the mill, and sent such a
shower over the roof as amounted almost to
a deluge. The Peto Steamer barely raised
water to the cone, of the roof, and spread
but a mist over it. The next attempt was
at the Methodist Church steeple, which is
160 feet high, with the building standing
upon an elevation at least twenty-ave feet
above the bridge. Here the same size noz
lie was used and the water forced through
about 400 feet of hose. The result was that
thrt stream reached within about 30 feet of
the Spire, and at least 25 feet above what
the Peto machine accomplished with a three
quarter inch nozzle. There is no telliug how
much more the Pocono would have gained
in height, as she had just got fairly at her
work when the hose burst. This closed the
work of the day, and fully satisfied every
body but the agent of the Manufacturing
Company, Mr. Harris, and the Engineer,
Mr. John H. Leonard, who had the steamer
in charge. She had not come up to the
work stipulated in the contract, and they
were bound she should. The reasons why
she did cot will doubtless be found in the
facts, that nearly four bushels of cinders were
taken out of the coal burned in uie uueuaj a
trial, and the high winds and heavy atmos-
nhere prevailing.
On Tuesday afternoon a better article oi
- ... ... r-
coal having been procured from Scranton,
the steamer was taken to the race up town,
and another trial had, with the following re
sult : "With inch and a quarter nozzles and
through 50 feet of hose, she threw two
streams of 210 feet each, and one stream of
230 feet ; with one and three-sixteenth inch
nozzle and through 50 feet of hose, she threw
a stream of 271 feet ; with one and a quarter
inch nozzle and through 280 feet of hose, she
threw a stream at least 20 feet above the
Spire of the Lutheran Church or 150 feet
high. This closed the trials, and satisfied
all that, though her work already done was
wonderful she could do still more, if neces
sary. The pressure of steam at no time ex
ceeded 120 lbs., and most of the time was
held at or about 70 lbs. Her working move
mentsare all admirable, and so completely
under control, that she at no time needs
blocks, and at all times, under any pressure
runs with the regularity of clock work.
We cannot close this article better than by
appending the following report of the Com
mittcc of Experts in Mechanical and En
gineering science, unknown to the manufac
turer's, and selected by Council, because of
their peculiar fitness and extended exper
ience. To all boroughs or Fire associations
we would commend the Clapp k Jones
Manufactoring Company, and we cheerfully
venture the assurance that they will best
subserve their interests and safety, by doing
as we have done securing one of their un
approachable Machines.

Melancholy Suicide. Mr. E. Al

Christian gentleman, and was much thought
of by all who knew him. About a year ago
he lost a much loved wife, and was himself a
sufferer from Typhoid Fever. Since then
his mind has been at times affected with
the taint of insanity, and it was doubtless
while suffering from one of these moods,

Friend Schocu : The weater for the
past week has been very changeable. ; We
have had both snow and rain the latter, in
bundance and even at this writing the
rain is pooring a perfect deluge. Ter conser
quence, the mud is of almost an unfathomable
depth upon the streets, making it disagree
able in the extreme for pedestrians.
Tlie indefatigable and persistent, efforts of
of the Young Mens' Christhn Association
of this city, in the way of general reform, it
appears, avails nothing. In a previous let
ter we acquainted your readers with the very
unpopular course pursued by them, in order
to put an effectual veto upon Sunday liquor
selling and their defeat at that time can
only be accounted for from the fact that they
attempted to bring about the desired reform
in a manner that was far from being gentle
manly or chri&tianlike. Finding, (by exper
ience, probably,) that it were useless "to pro
ceed further in that direction, they then
plied their minds vigorously to the work of
effecting a reform, and, if possible, aconver
sion, among the "soiled doves" certainly a
very luadable object. Accordingly, a large
number of cases of this character were
brought before the Moyor's court for disposal,
and his Honor, Judge Ward, dealt with
them as they deserved. And, from the fact
that for a considerable length of time the
bawdy houses were "few and far between,'
it can be said that the Association, to a cer
tain extent, came off victorious in this case.
They might, however, as well attempt to
turn the tide of the Lackawanna river as to
stop the nefarious practice of selling intoii

I. T. BARIUM'S TVEW MAM
MOTH EXTE51IRISE.
"The public will, on doubt, be gratified to
know that P. T. Barnum, the world-renowned
Showman, is going to open his great traveling
show in thia city, on Third av., corner Sixty-
third street, where it will remain on exhibition
every day and evening until further notice.
He has paid Mr. Geo. Wood, with whom he
entered into an agreement four years ago not
to open any amascments in this city for ten
years, the munificent sum of $15,000 to so far
release him from his bond as to permit him to
exhibit his great traveling Museum, Menagerie
Caravan, Hippodrome, and Circus for a period
not to exceed six weeks, in the Empire Rink
in this city, to commence on or about the 13th
of November, 1871.
Our readers will remember that for some
time past there has been arriving in this city
the Great International Zoological Garden,
Polytechnic Institute, and Hippodrome, eta,
from England.
The intention of the proprietors was to open
thie great establishment in the Rink ; but they
were prevented from so doing by P. T. Bar
num, who had already secured the right to oc
cupy the same building, although this fact was
unknown to Messrs. Batty, Marhall, Hingly,
and Dr. Jean, the London proprietors.
Seeing their dilemma, Mr. Barnum gencr.
ously stepped forward and purchased th en
tire concern, and has now merged it into his
already Colossal Exhibition, which, with these
additional attractions, will make the largest,
moat extensive, and diversified combination of
amusements ever known. P. T. Barnum
knows how to get before the public what their
demands are, and is willing to spend a million
of dollars to carry out his plans. It seems to
be his delight to give the public ton times the
worth of their money.
There are hundreds and thousands of his old
friends who will be glad to welcome him back
to this city, where he will be generously pat
ronized. The exhibitions are to be strictlv
moral and unobjectionable. The F.mnlro
