OF course we were not there ourself-
Our business demands are such that we
dare not venture away from home for any
thing short of the pressing demands Of
business abroad; but we were represent
ed, and for all the shortcomings and long
comings Of this mere mention" of what
was seen, heard and did on the occasion,
our representative alone is responsible. =
His version of the affair is, that
WE (meaning himself and those who
were with him Of course), left Strouds
burg, at about hall-pas two, p. NJ, on
Friday, and after pleasant ride, over one
of the best roads to be found any where
else on this " Universal airth." arrived al
the . Pike County House." in Milford, at
half-past eight o'clock, p. NJ, where we
were greeted by number Of the Saw xii
Iers most cordially, aud, in about the
quickest time immaginsble, were inform
cd by the, to hungry men, agreeable sound
of the gong, that supper awaited trial
of our sharpened appetites. To the Ia.
ble We went-aud such table! If the
landlord himself had been of our hungry
party he could not better have provided
for our wants. Every thing necessary
WAS there, and every thing was got up in
i style that showed couclusively that the
kitchen department was presided over by
genious, which even Monster Blot him
self might envy. Like harvesters, with
the ripencd grain before them, we set to
work, and if the field was not well CLEAN
ed, hungry men need never, by kuife and
fork performance, hope to draw applause
from the cook. The table was not swept
clean of the good things of earth; but it
would have been if the landlords heart
had not been more liberal than fast of
six hours, sharpened by u merry ride
through bracing air, proved exacting.
Supper over, a lucious cigar aud per.
ambulation, by moonlight, came next in
order; and in the beautiful views which
met his gaze the sojourner was well re
paid for The pains, the trials and the dan
gers of getting there. Milford is most
| pleasantly located on bench of table land
about mile in width and about three
quarters OF mile in length along the Del
aware river. y pretticr spot for village
could hardly be imagined; and the den
lzens OF the burg, feeling that they too
have duty to perform, are rapidly max
ing 1t an earthly paradise amid the rough
surroundings by which it is encompassed
1t is not our intention to indulge in in
vidious particuiarization relative to the
enterprizc Of the Milfordonians, for all are
working TO secure a common end - the
beautifying of the town; hut we must be
permitted to say that DIR. Halliday would
prove 4 jewel to any town, and the Pin
shots, the Dimmicks, the Mots, the
Barnes 5, and host Of others whose names
We woald mention if we knew them, de-
serve lasting credit for the liberaIty OF
their efforts to give Milford name and
a fame throughout the land As yet. ii
may aptly he called. as Randolph, of Ro
anoke, called the city Of Washington, a
village of . magnificent distances" but
The spirit Of enterprise is there which will
soon make Milford the compact, thriving
borough, aud the town of beauty"
which to its inhabitants, and to visitors,
will prove g a JOY for ever" We speak
Of Milford by moonlight, but view by
day ght leaves US nothing to gainsay that
we have said.
The perambulation, during which the
d" inner man" was slightly attended to, at
length came to an end, and we returned
10 the hotel to court the aid of Morpheus
in an effort to overcome the weariness
which the journey had created And
here again the peculiar fitness Of Mine
Host Of the pike County House" for his
position, stood out in bold relief. The
cleanliness Of his chambers, and tho ex
ceilence Of his beds all a,tested that " he
right man was in the right place" Once
in bed, we closed our eyes and our thoughts
over the plerplexities of life, and were
about bidding adieu to wakefulncss
when the sound Of music struck our ear.
and the midnight serenade loomed up in
the dulcit strains Of I" Lannagsn's Ball, -
and There is Sweet Rest" &c, &c. -
On 1t came, nearer and nearer to our
quarters, until at length our room door
burst open and choir of voices, wholly
masculine In intonation, filled the space
with sweetness. Experience is worth
something, thought we, aud closing our
eyes we feigned sleep so admirably. that
. the old man" was not disturbed even
by the tempting fumes which issued from
the somJrc looking, tubular Instrument
n the hands Of its bearer 1t was com.
Portable afterrefection to us, that we
were in Milford, where gray hairs com.
mand respect and old men" are per.
mitted to slumber on undisturbed by the
hilarity of more youthful years. The sell
