Dick, MAT A MORAS. 1 (Special Correspondence to the Prbss.) MAT AMOR AS, June 2nd. Mr. Harry Florenoaand sister, Mabel, of Mlddletowu are visiting friends In this place. Walter Marvin, one of our weU known young men, arrived In town Friday and will spend the summer with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marvin, of Rosetown Walter Is a manager of one of Daniel Frou- man threatrical companies. He Is accom panied by a friend, Mr. Crane, son Of one of the leather merchants of the Swamp district In New York city, who will pass few weeks In this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ennls were former ly Matamoras young people, who now are located at St. Louis, have been heard from by their parents In Mongaup and Mlddl town respectively saying that they ai safe and uninjured by the fearful cyclone that swept the city. Mrs. nuls was formerly Miss Lillian Loane, who was one of Matamoras most beautiful young ladles who was much esteemed by her many friends and they will be glad to learn her safety . ' Mr. Harry Haines, the efficient Janitor of the High school tenders his thanks to the teacher for their many kindnesses In aiding him to obtain his wages for the hut month of school. Mr. John C. Preacott, - one of the best school directors ever elect ed, was directed to pay Mr. Haines what due him. Mr. Haines has been sick and was not able to attend to his duty for that period. Kpworth church, Matamoras, on Friday evening was the scene of a pleasant evcu when five young loulos and two young gentlemen received the diplomas whi certify to the fact that they have success fully completed the prescribed course of study and have successfully passed the fin. al examination The class motto, "Life Is Wlint You Make It, " fashioned In letters of evergreen, was placed over the arch beneath which the graduates received their llplomas and the figures "98 "and "07" rcpresentin g tho classes of those yoars.also In evergreen, were conspicuously In view. The class flower of the class of ''9(1 Is the yellow rose and that color blended with white was to be seen on every sldo. The exercises begnn at a few minutes nftrr lght o'clock and were witnessed by a large audience composed of friends -of the grad uates and those Interested In the welfnre of tho schools. Tho program was as fol lows: Overture, " Bridal Rose " Dnvls' Or chestra. Prnyer Rev. J. A. Wlegand of Hope church. Chorus, " Vocal March. " 30 singers. led by Mr. John Cross. Kssiiv.

Benediction. March, " Jolly Seventh" Orchestra. Each participant received a handsome floral gift, which was gracefully presented by Master Floyd Kilpatrlck. Tho essays and orations of the graduating pupils were well -written and well-delivered and pos sessed a stnndard of literary merit which speaks well for the class of '96 and reflects credit on the Matamoras High School. Among those who rendered Invaluable ser vice were Mr. Chaa. WUkln, the acconi' paulst and Mr. John Cross, of Port Jorvis, who had charge of tho singing, the excel. cut orchestra, and the ushers, Wallace Van Gordon and Ralph French. Thanks are also duo to Miss Minnie Van Akin, for giving so pleasant an entertainment, to the C. K. Society of Kpworth church, for supplying Ice cream and cake to those de siring it. The waitresses were Mrs. John Wannaootrt, Misses Nellie Hill, Irene Kim ble, Blanche Ketcham, Cora Snyder and Ratio Walls. Prof. KUcoln, the former superintendent was in the audience visibly Improved In health, as his friends are glad to see. The only draw back to the perfect success of the oc casion was the absence of graduate Miss Nellie Chine, whose unfortunate Illness prevented her attendance. Mrs. Edwin M. Kimball, who has been operated upon for cancer In the right breast, Is rapidly recovering and Is now up and about the house. The handsome residence of A. W. Balch one of our well-known merchants, Is being rapidly pushed to completion and when it Is occupied, It will be an ornament to this pretty village. Now, what Is the matter with an organ ization known as the " Village Improve ment Society." All the streets need re pairing badly. Use the road machine all over the town and Matamoras will be sec ond to none for well-kept streets. Wake up and start an Improvement society. "Charlie" Blyer has made an improve ment to his shop, It Is a brand new barber chair of an improved pattern. Step in and see It, and let "Charlie" use his lightning fingers on your hair. At present, Matamoras has tho finest bi cycle path In the county. Fayette L. Seymour Is at present with his parents. Now, the Delaware Valley Railroad has again revived. Let me give the readers of the Press a good point, don't talk about it at all, save your breath. Let the rail rood take care of Itself. Walt untU after we have seen the cars running and then up goes three cheers, long and loud, for Dela ware Valley Electric Railroad. Trojan. LAYTON. (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Layton, June a. Strolling players came through-hero last Sunday with bagpipe and floglelet. They trilled thepopular airs of the day at each house, and furnish ed very pleasant music. I have never known them to play on Sunday before In the country here. It was very nice how ever, and we had ample leisure to enjoy It, James Nyoe, on account of 111 health.has given up the shops at Centrevllle and moved to Deckortown. This gives a good opening for a blacksmith and wood work er. An energetic and active man who know his business would be much appre ciated hero, and would no doubt find plen ty to do. - A friend who saw De Alton DllUstln cry ing Abendroths sale of horses last week at Port Jervis expressed himself very strong ly In praise of the auctioneers skill. I am told that he held the crowd In splendid shape, kept their Interest, cracked )ok with them, and sold them hones at good prices. Wo have seen him ory sales, and we know he does not go napping while his employers interest is at stake, but does business all the time, and on the square. It is told, I hope as a joke that A. E Bralnard, representing the Climax Rood machine Rockrusher company offered a few days ago to accept the nioney that Walpack township had raised for their roads (about $800.) for which he would work all their roads with a Climax ma chine, In a manner satisfactory to the town committee, and when done donate the machine to the township In good or- dui, and thai they would not accept the offer. If true well If true Please excuse me, but I positively cannot find language forcible enough to express my surprise. The people of Walpack are brainy, and Intelligent to a high degree, aij until I get more light I inust believe the narrative to be a fake. Miss Theana Owens Is seriously 111 with the measles. Her many friends extend their sympathy, and hope for an early re storation to health. A Centrevllle gent Is reported to hav kwt IU.00 at a game of poker in the brush near the village a Sunday or two ago. The same one has bucked the tiger before iu (lie woods below tho town, but Is supposed to have been more fortunate then. Beat not punch up the animals too ofu-u at that rate I should say. Wo congratulate t ie party who won, but have no sympathy whatever for the loser. We w ould suggewt that In future It be given to the missionary cause. It might benefit the poor heathen some at least. , A. R. Youngs the wide awake merchant from Branchvllle passed through here on Sunday. He holds the reins over a dandy bay horse whoso pedigree traces direct to Na-cy Hahks. A. H. does not purpose taking any bodies dust these days, unless he feels in the hunjor to do so. Frankford Township has reason to be proud of her roads. The machlno was put on them early, and they show the good ef fect of Intelligent and early working. An object lesson to other towns. W. C. Hursh and Alliert Knimans, two old soldiers, visited tho different cemeter ies In this Township, and decorated the graves of soldiers on memorial day. Would It not bo a pleasant thing for all the old soldier boys In the valley to orn nlzo nnd havo annual or semi-annual meetings for social enjoyment, nnd to keep In touch with other organizations outside the valley. Fish Warden Hendershot attends to the black bnss poachers with promptness nnd dispatch. Two fishermen were hauled up last week to the tune of 15 each, for tnk ing bnss out of senson In Swartswood Lake. Wo Invito Mr. Hcndcrshots atten tion to a party in tho near vicinity of Hiilncsvillo despoiling a quails nest. As for me I feel much more sympathy for the quail than I do for tno boss. The grass and hay crop must bo com paratively light, even under tho most fav orable conditions that may now ensue. A hot dry May Is usually disastrous to the hay crop. On account of It, a little firmer fueling In butter may be expected. GREELEY. , (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Ghee LEY, JuncS.

Mr. Crow and his hungry relatives were on hand this spring to help the corn up. Would it not benefit the farmers If a small bounty was also paid on crowsf They are not an easy bird to shoot. Cutworms and other garden visitors are all on deck in thUsectlon. And the potato bug has found his parti cular fields Late showers have helped the farmers very much.
