last week, the report was current in our
streets that the visitors at Cresson, in
body, had departed therefrom, bag and
baggage-going no one knew whither.-
Subsequent developments elected the fact
that their absence was only intended to
be temporary--that they had only gone
off to pay Ebensburg brief visit, and
drop in at Thompson's cheap store, per-
chance buying something, when they
would return, refreshed by the visit and
no doubt determined to repeat the same
often in the future.

A SUMNER HoTEL.-We understand
that company of capitalists from abroad
have it in contemplation to purchase
piece of ground in this vicinity, with a
view to erect thereon frst-class summer
hotel. 1t is also understood that the grove
of Stephen Lloyd, Esq, short distance
west of town, is the spot selected for the
purchase. We are sure a summer hotel
here weuld pay. Our air, and water, and
scenery are unrivalled, and since Cres-
son and Bedford have achieved name,
Ebensburg could not fail to become ia
nous. In our time we have visited not
few of the popular watering places, and
declare 1t as our conviction that in all the
essential elements sought at summer re-
sort, Ebensburg is behind none of them.
Many others take the same view, for du-
ring the dog-days the number of pleasure
seekers quartered here is only limited by
the size of our hotels We are authori-
zed to say that Squire Lloyd will sell his
grove for the purpose herein indicated on
the most reasonable terms. If the COM
pany before spoken of 90 not speedily
carry their intentions into effect, we hope
to see some of our citizens engage in the
aud erect hotel which will
not only be an honor but a profit to the
own.

THE FARuTYg TNTERESTS.

There is no reason why, under the new or
der Of things, there should not soon be an
abundance both of provisions and money in
the country. There is no question but the
season has been most propitious, both for the
production offruits and cereals. Meat Only will
be scarce during the next year, as all avail
able stock was gathered up to feed the armies.
Otherwise the country will, by Winter, be
well stocked with food. Sorghum has been
extensively planted and viii yield abundanily.
The wheat and corn crops are dOurishing.-
The proflsion OF straw berries is a sure indi-
cation Of the incoming berry season and the
ensuing apple and peach season. This, how
ever, by the way.
The close OF the war has found hundreds
OF able-bodied men without employment
or sustenance, those who, at the outbreak
OF this strife, we=e busily engaged in
profitable employment and business, hnd
themselves idle and with but little pros
pect of work, az least a, any early day.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.
The New York Sun says


From the accounts that reach US from abroad,
il is evident that an unprecedented stream Of
emigration will soon begin to dow 20 the United

sequence OF the uncertainty regarding the issue
Of the war, but lhe accounts which they have
lately received, have put ali fears at rest on
that subject, and they are now actively engaged
in making preparations Tor departure. The
Southern States are likely 20 receive the chief
benefit Of this exrected influx, for the reason
that the soil and climate more nearly resembles
