give place to the following communica-
ton, though candor compels US to say
that the writer exhibits more temper
than in our judgment the subject war
rants. The article to which exception is
taken, it is due US to state. was inserted
in our columns whilst we were temporarily
absent, and its appearance was source of
regret to US when we discovered it, as we
felt that it was unjust ard uncalled-for.
We cheerfu,ly join "X. Y. H." in COM
mendation of the Cresson House. Ou-
ring occasional visits there, the deport-
ment of the proprietor towards US was
always what might be expected from a
courteou Gus and obiging gentleman, and we
have invariably heard his guests speak OF
him iu the highest terms. Under his
iudicious management, Cresson has at
tanned a deserved celebrity as simmer
resort, and is an institution of which the
people of our county have reason to feel
proud =

To the Editor Of The .fHeghdnian:
This morning, by the purest accident, my
attention was attracted TO article which
recently appeared in your local columns, un-
! der the caption of 'The Mountain" in which
was reproduced a scurrilous attack upon the
Cresson House, emanating from correspon-
dent otf the Pittsburg Ledder. l doubt not
| the Cresson House and its proprietor can at
! all times abundantly yindicate themselves
| before honest and competent judges, but as
| of Wa In
| create an undue prejudice against them, it is
! but proper that his iu-conceNed statements
| should be refuted. 1t very often happens
| that men of small calibre ana sun less pecu-
| mary means make their way 10 watering
| places like Cresson, and undtrtake 10 put on
airs which are not justified by thelr StatHS N
| the social or monetary circle in whlch they
move at home. These individuals OCCASION
| ally get taken down peg or two, anu 'hen
they allow their "angry passions to rise -
| they go off in pet, and if perchance the }
| are endowed with modicum of scribbling
ability, they at once turn their attention TO
penny lining it for some newspaper, in the
vain hope that they can write down" and
bring into disrepute the particular establish
ment which don't happen to please them
! Judging by the tone and temper of his arti-
| Gle l consider this Pittsburg correspondent
| entitled to high place i'll the rank of these
| disappointed would-be- somebodies. He is
| sta; ement about CressCn is studied and mali
| cious. When he says the scenery there is
tame he writes himself down having no
taste for either the beautiful or the sublime,
| whilst his assertion that Tan honest mechan-
| Ic, with modest appetite, would clean the
tables set for the supper of twenty fashiona-
( BILE guests" at CreSsou, ''and still feel hun
| gry," is an insult to class of laboring men
! whose latchstringS he IS not worthy tc loose
| No gentleman, would make such a compari-
son, even ii facts warranted it, which the
writer well knows they do not in this case
and so far as charges are concerned, / may
! safely say they as liberal at Cresson as at
! any other similar establishment and this
| learned correspondent should remember that
the proprietors of watering places have but
| a very few weeks in which to compensate
themselves for what they lose in keeping
their establishments closed nearly the whole
wear Mr.. Editor, | must not trespass too
much on your patience, but having been a
| frequent guest at Cresson during the past few
| years, have felt it my duty to make this
| communication. Under its present proprle-
torshp, that place has acquired an enviable
! distinction rs a summer resort, and justly 50.
In common with others. ! have spent many
| pleasant hours there, and trust to spend many
more there in the future, and doubt not the
| place will continue to be well patronized by
people of good sense no matter how much or
how little driveliug correspondents may mis-
represent or revile it, X. w.
