The ties and rails are laid on the property of J. C. "Rose nnd a littlo track is laid 'in Matamoras. Parts of the road olsewhore are graded but it is said the company has not obtained a connected right of way so as to enable it to finish.

It Is gonorally surmised however that wind is a fallacious sub -structure for parmanont enterprises. Vanishing Creams. That universal traveler, Prof. Sommervillo, regales our renders this week with a letter from the Black Forest, but in so doing we fear he hns unconsciously injura d the prospects of that celebrated resort. Think of Ambrosia served by nymphs and washed down with nectar, ye gods and littlo fishes. We are well acquainted with one red headed, homely mortal whose wife, If she is as substantial as at present, will never consent that the Block Forest be embraced in the itinerary when they visit the continent, and there are other Milford gentlemen who will no doubt be placed under the same ban. We res ign our hope of ever visiting that delectable re sort, and thus are youthful dreams always being shattered by the sun light of revelation. Alas, alack I Lost His Finger.

Autohabt, Germany, July 14, 1898. Editor Press : In a few moments of loisnre this evidence of my recollection of friends in Milford is written with the hope that they be interested. I never lose mtny minutes am al ways busy either with my pen or paint brushes. Some pictures are now the result of my work ; they are representations of tho"Refuges" along tho coast of the Mediterra nean Sea. These "Refuges" are villages built centuries ago up in the crags the steep rocks of the mountains, looking down on the sea, on which came the boats or ships ot the Tuu isihn and Tripolenn pirates, throe centuries before France took pos session of what iH known as Riviera Those people gathered quantities of great cobble stones, and, when the pirates tried to climb ftp nnd attack them they just emptied cobble stones on their heads, as Schley, Sampson nnd Dewey have done on the ships of the foolhardy Spaniards. I have made sketches of tho most' of them and have half a dozen fin ished. Whon we were in tho Sn hara Desort last winter we met n hotel manager who was with the Duke of Bavaria at Boskra, where we were living. Ho told us about a summer resort 1 had never visited in the Duohy of Baden, so we be- bolieved in him and engaged our apartmouts in this hotel. We are living at Antogast in the Black For est. There are two springs ol sparkling mineral water down in the great cure hole, where there is plenty of room to promenade while taking the water slowly. The water is very agreeable. I like it much better than champagne nnd it has a very beneficial effect on all who par take of it. In this country it is tho custom of wenlthy families to send their daughters when they reach 20 to 25 years of ago to learn to cook, so they may be com potent to marry j they pay the proprietor of this hotel a handsome fee and the result is that during the j three months of Summer we are having tho most de licious dinners, cooked by four beautiful young ladies, who of an evening entertain tho guests wilh the choicest musio. I do not be lieve there are any cooks on earth (Milford, dear Milford, not except ed) could do better, and few as well. Also pastry in many varieties, and delicate pure wines from the hill side vineyards nearby: for littlo money. $' " Divine services are held at the chael of the hotel twice in the week. Tuesdays for Protestants ; Thursdays for Roman Catholics. It is interesting to observe the neigh boring farmers who attend, al tired in their red and black coats, red vests and buckskin knee-breccbes, the , costume of this part of the Black Forost. Sunday, of courso, is given up to music and dancing. I have just finished two or three pictures of the country where thore are many brooks and waterfalls, where trout of 10, 12 and 16 inches abound in fact they are so .plenty one can see them in the water. A little while before supper or dinner they are easily taken in nets, so that they always have them served fifteen minutes after they have been killed. Just try to real ize that several people in Antogast read with interest the Pike County Press. What a wide 'cironlation that valuable journal has. Repub licans, too don't forget thnt? We never suffer from heat here ; the thermometer averages 70 to 72 and we often think how acceptable such a temperature wonld be in Milford. Sincerely, Maxwell Sohhekville. One Dollar to IT. T. and Return. On Sunday next, July 31st, tho Erie will run a one dollar excursion to New York, leaving Port Jervis at 7.15 A. M., and returning leaves New York at 7.45 P. M.

' COMMUNICATED. Moktack'e, N. J., July 25, 98. Mr. Editor : The Good Book tells us to remember tho S bbnth Day and keep it holy. Does keep ing holy mean fishing on tho Sab bath Day, using profane language, and'raising Cain in general, ns is done by some so-callod reputable persons of both sexes (who, I am glad to say, do not belong on this side of the river). Boating for pleasure on the Dela ware on a Sabbath Day is an inno- cent pnslime, nnd may be indulged in by thoso who derive more pleas ure from it on tho Snbbnth than any other day in the week. True, the Fish and Game Laws of New Jersey for some reason last year omitted to put on the penalty for Sabbath fishing, but still there is a State law, I have seen it mention ed in either the Press or Dispatch that there is a law in Pennsylvania inflicting a ponnlty of twenty dol lars on those who are convicted for Sabbath fishing. Does not the jur isdiction of Pennsylvania extend across the Delaware River to low water mark in New Jersey? Now if such should bo tho oase, nnd Milford has such a number of officers, why in tho name of all that's wonderful don't one of them come down to the Delaware bridge most nny Snbbnth nnd caution those lawbreakers? It is a positive annoyance to the family of the bridge tender to be compelled to sit and listen to talk which may be entertaining to some but disgusting to respectable people. This communication may sound a little out of place, but tho writer knows what he is talking about and his information comes from per sons reputable, but not of tho kind who wish to make trouble. So per haps a warning will do, nnd I will say no more. M. N. K. Teachers Chosen For The Matamoras School.

Y., were killed by an Erio engine list Sunday at King Fullors cut, about a mile and a half above the station. They were walking to Lncknwaxen whon the engine of the socond excursion train, which was going to that place to turn, struck and killed them. Tho bodies wore re moved to Lnckawaxen. It is report ed that Bothke, who leaves a wife and two small children, owned some land at Greeley and that they were going thither with tho expectation that Henninger would buy a piece of it. Violators of the (Law. It is alleged that certain well known parties in Dingman Town ship are engaged in tho business of killing "short-billed snipe," or in plain English, shooting young pheasants, and selling them in Mil ford. If this can be established both the sellers and buyers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Suspends for a MoDth.
