The i'ocono farm house on the extrumr
limits of our village, southward is enjoy
ing tho hey-iley of prosjierlty now. Mr
Hose tlie genial proprietor, has no less than
70 city folks to care, for, and more are com
ing every day
Mr D. L. Chase tho fruit and peanut
merchant met with a slight bicycle mishap
today Ho was leaving his son's store on
Pike street, Mr. H. M. Chase, tho shoo man
and was in the act of crossing Hammond
street when n cyclist ran him down and
slightly jarring him up but otherwise
n-'ither party was injured
The raft that was started early Mill
morning to go towoine party in Jersey from
Port Jervis was very unfortunate at Its
outset. It stranded on the Pennsylvania
side just where tho old eel weir used to ho
in tho rivor and had to be made into two
rafts. It was thnh floated down the river
and about 10 o'clock passed tho clips and
so went out of sight.
Chris. Wagner the builder who is put
ting up that linn colonial dedgned house
in tho lower end of town has bo far pro
gressed as to have tho building fully en
closed and tho painters are engaged giv
ing it a promising appearance. . .
A resident of our village Thursday night
witnessed a most remarkable accident,
which happily resulted in no serious harm
An adept bicyclist coming from Milfonl
was riding at his top spoed. He had a
lamp on his wheel but it was not lit. Two
other wheelmen were going to Milfonl and
were riding at a pretty good clip when lu
the darkness they came together with the
result that the party coming from Milfonl
went clear over the other two wheelmen's
head. That is he suddenly took a flying
leap of perhaps 100 feet. The only damage
done wa a bad shaking up anil a slight
dent in one of the wheels. It was to on
lookers simply miraculous.
Speaking about bioyolcjaccldonts the ac
cident to Nora Duryea may prove a great
deal more serious than at first supposed.
Her attoudiug physician, Dr Lambert
says ho cannot yet give the full lesult of
her injuries. It seems that her fall in-
Jured her spine and also gave her a bad
shock and invited a very serious nervous
collapse. It soema that the accident was
one of those almost unavoidable ones that
wheelmen are always liable to unless they
use the greatest precaution. We sincerely
hope it will not result lu anything serious
to MlmrDuryea.
Sheriff II. I. Couitright is a busy man
in these days. He is having his homo

The arrest of Ed Layhm at Dlngnians
for catching trout in a stream in Pike

The fish wore taken by the notorious Cass
Howell himself for Laytou. It was from a
private stream by permission of a relative
of Layton occupying the laud and was lie

ies li.wl no case and are left in tho same
ridiculous attitude that Honest John oc
cupies in his report of the case in the Gaz
ette of Aug. 13. Simply a little too prevl
ous.
Honest John is so quick to see spite
work in everything that does not agree
with his narrow views, that it would be
well to renrind him that a person who goes
into foreign territory (say Pike county) to
aid and Instigate in the arrest of a neigh

The populace is not always on the right
side of a i(iie.,t Ion, and it is often wise to
look beneath tho clamor to Had if ilure is
not a principle involved This is appllcii

fuss and feathers is a question of property
and its protection, it Is a vital one In

will protect his fth and game interests,

throe sons, Churlos, Willie and Paul
a long lotter, in which he states that
they have falsely accused him, hut
that he forgives them fully nnd free
ly in view of his impondin; fate,
and trusts that as they grow older
nnd reflect on their course in regard
to him they will lose the vindictive
spirit which ni. hunted them, and
view their contract with regret. He
earnestly beseeches thnm to become
g od citizens, to turn from tho error
of their ways and to put their trust
in that Supreme Being to whote
hands he has coniniitUxl his destiny.
The letter is couched in g Kid langu
age, is not bitter in tone or spirit,
and is replete with excellent advice.
Schultz does not bemoan, he only
regrets his fate and hopes to lxi.tr
with resignation what ever is in
store for him, accepting inan hum
ble frame of mind the inevitable.
He profeisses to have sought and re
ceived tlmt pouoo which iwssoth all
understanding, and will go into tho
presence of his judge with his sins,
whatever they may have beeu, fully
pardoned. Tho whole tone of the
U tter is that of ono who reulizeshis

give those who have trepnssed
against him tven ns he hoiies that
