Fire.-Thcre is considerable talk just
now of securing Steam Fire Engine for this
borough. This is certainly one of the great
needs of Stroudsburg, which should be sup
piled at once. Another need, if possible still
more important, is suffciency of water to be
used in case of fire. If we cannot have water
for general use, we should certainly be pre-
pared with the article if fire should happen
to break out; and this could be secured verv
cheaply and readily by tapping the race, and
placing small reservoirs at short intervals
along Main and Sarah streets. We have been
very fortunate thus far in our exemption from
fire, and it may be years before we are called
upon to fight the devouriDg element in protec-
ton of our property; but there is no telling.
We are liable, at any moment, to meet Just
such calamity here as has in many vii
lage, just as beautiful and thriving as ours, as
it were in the twinkliDg Of an eye replaced the
useful and beautiful evidences of thrift, wealth
and comfort, with heap of charred ruins.
The judicious expenditure Of a few hundred
dollars now, may save us the loss of many,
IT.
Just think of it. Several hundred thousand
dollars worth Of property, dependent for safe
ty from fire, upon very small hand Engine
and not the shadow of a show in the
shape of facilities to supply even that with
water save by means of the old fashioned lift
pump, or the old fashioned water line to the
creeks. We feel that our whole people are
criminally negligent so long as such is the
fact.
T. PS.-Slnce the above was in type we learn
that the Borough Fathers have contracted
with Mr.. Thomas H. Peto of Philadelphia.
formerly Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart
ment of that city, for a Steamer, Hose Car
riage and Eight Hundred feet of Hose at
cost of some $4,000, to be delivered within
three weeks. The Engine is to be submitted
to the severest test by any Engineer the
borough authorities may select, and every
thing about it is fully warranted TO be the best
material, and in frst-class condition. In adj
dition to No. /, Engine, and first class Hose,
Mr. Peto will give all the instructions neces-
sary to manage the machine TO any parties
Council may select. The terms granted to the
borough are most liberal. We shall all sleep
more easily after "der mercheen" arrives, and
after while we shall come to think, we were
very foolish to have gone SO long without a
steamer.
We learn that Borough Bonds, bearing n
per cent interest will be sold, to procure means
to pay for the Steamer and Fixtures. Here
Is rare chance for investment.

s1- A paper published in New York, in
the interest of Catholicism, and called the
Irish People" last week, contained the fol-
lowing startling headings to one of its ar
ticles:
''Bloody Massacre Hoffman the cause of
"Murder-Terrible conflict between the
Rioters and the people-The people shot
''Down-5O Orangemen guarded by Six
Regiments of Soldiers, &C., &c.
Well what OF it? Who is to blame for it ?
Is it not a burning shame that those fifty
Orangemen, in this land of the Free and
home of the brave" had to be guarded by
six Regiments of soldiery, while they indul-
ged in their right 20 parade the streets of
New York Irish professions, composed of
Irishmen, and celebrating religious and
political events, have, time and time again,
paraded the streets of our cities, and there
was no one to modest them or make them
afraid. No Regiments were needed to guard
them, and no one was shot down while par
ticipating in or looking at the parade 1t is
only when Englishmen and Irishmen Of
another persuasion turn out that these things
at which the Irish People, pretends to be
horor stricken occur Why is this? All
men, no matter what their politics or reli-
gion, have the same rights in this country,
and no one has any right TO interfere in the
free enjoyment thereof. That blood was
shed in New York, was because of persistent
determination of Irish 70 ughs, Catholic, to
intefere with the rights Of Orangemen, Pro-
testant, TO turn out in celebration of an impor-
tant event in professionalism. The fifty
Orangemen were guarded by six Regiments
for the samereason that people were shot down
in the streets of New York. If the Irish
had remained at home, in the quiet pursuit
OF their business, or had peaceably looked
on at the procession of Orangemen, as was
their right, there would have been no neces-
sity of a guard no blood-shed nobody
would have been killed; and all would have
been we'll
As to whether it was policy on the part of
the Orangemen to hold parade at all-that
is not the question They had a right to
hold it; and when those who attempted to
disturb the march were shot down, they got
just what they deserved. The Editors of
Irish Organs of the sensational order, arc
the last men who should say word as to
what was done, or how it was done, or by
whose order 1t was done. The facts are
patent that interference with the rights a |
portion of the people wasattempted, and THAT
some body got killed in making the attempt;
and the general verdict of the people is
served them right

The woman, it would seem, wished really

that cure was impossible, and determined
to administer decocton of the leaves of

active poison. Not finding the leaves at

''In place not famious or renowned
Where gnats and musqutoes abound,
A great event happened to-day
Which will lower the price Of hay"
"Old Dock" a horse true, faithful and good
Worked hard every day for his food,
When Ben his old master went to town
He sickened, groaned, and then fell down.
"The cause of his death is plain to all,
Loads of logs which he had to haul,
Combined with the blows of John and Frank
Caused his death out on the hard plank"
"But his old bones were not to lie here
Up the Lehigb, by tree near,
Christian Shook dug his last resting place
Threw him in with an upturned face"

With your old back all hammered sore,
By the cruel lash which always Ben

July IL, 1871.
Going on down the "Plank" we come to
another Lumber establishment, about 81 miles
from Sand Cut, owned by Bright, Wagonhurst
& Co., operated by A. d. Dutot, Esq. In ad-
dition to this there is hotel, the St. Nicholas,
where you will always be greeted by a kindly
smile and 4 hearty welcome from the hospita-
BILE landlord. Starting from this place and
travelling down the "Piank" 81 miles,we come
to another large lumber establishment, owned
and operated by Herbine & Baum. In con-
nection with their lumber trade they are doing
large business in the mercantile line. About
] mile below this place is the famous hotel,
familiarly called ''Gersbacher's." This is a
noted resort for those who love to capture the
finny tribe. There are several other Lumber
Mills, a short distance from the Plank, that
manufacture large quantity of lumber each
year. All the lumber along the "Pland road'
is hauled to Sand Cut, which make stirring
times at this place, your people, who. have
never been in a numbering district cannot
realize the amount of capitol, labor, time and
patience it takes to get the lumber from the
tree on which it grows and send it to market.
Those, who live in fine and costly buildings,
seldom reflect that the lumber used in the
construction of them, at some distant day,
obeyed the mighty force of the wind as it
howled through the forest. This is a country
which almost flows with "milk and honey !"
good fresh air; pure hemlock water which con-
tains medical properties, and enough hard
work to aid DIGESTION. There is any amount
of game here; BEARS foxes, deer and pheasants.
Persons, who are not able to spend a few
days here, both profitable and pleasantly, either
have no appreciative powers of the truly grand
and beautiful or have blunteJ them by the
cares and perishable things of this world.
