Mr.. EDITOR. We desire to occupy a
small space in the columns of your valuable
paper this week, to describe to your many
readers the exquisite pleasures which are to
be derived from spending a night along the
banks of some stream, fishing for eels One
evening last week, a party numbering some
five or six, your humble scribbler included,
determined upon passing night in this
manner, Cherry Greek being the chosen
stream. Accordingly. the work of perfect
ing the preliminaries-preparing hooks,
outlines, bait, and old-clothes for the occa-
sion-and which, by the way was ascertained
to be no small task, was at once begun
Lights and gigs were also got in readi-
ness, as our party had concluded, after cast
ing their outlines, to try their hand at
'spearing. Arrangements having been
completed at the appointed time, we repaired
to the domicile of friend hard by to change
our dress, and don the garb of fishermen,
each one appearing in the best of spirits
not intoxicating however-for be it known
that we were strictly temperate party
When once fully ''rigged out" for the occa-
sion, we opine that more hideOuS looking
nor happy fishing party were ever assembled
together The work of casting the lines was
soon completed, when the torches were igni-
ted, and soon this hideous looking party
might have been seen plunging hither and
yon in the water, frantically grasping and
spearlng for every fish which attracted their
notice. And just here we might add, that
of all ways and means devised for catching
fish, ''spearing' is decidedly the most pleas
urable. In due season the lines were taken
up, when it was ascertained that our labors
had been abundantly rewarded. After de-
Gliding that at some future day we would
again try the experiment, We repaired to
our homes, each one being fully satisfied
with the success of the expedition, and the
sport connected Herewith. SoLoN.

HON. GEORGE SANDERSON.

Mayor of the city of Lancaster, Pa, writes:
"MIsHLERs HERE BITTERS is extensively
known and used, and so successful are its cur
ative powers that it has become as familiar as
a Household Word and necessary addition
in the medical requirements of every family
Having used it myselfand knowing others who
have used it with beneficial results, / can only
add that in my opinion it is the best remedy
ever introduced for the cure of the numerous
ills to which flesh is heir"

Runayvay.-On Friday evening last,
about half-past seven clock, gentleman
and two young boys, residents of Philadel-
phia, now guests at the Highland Dell House,
were out driving, and when near the foot of
the hill that leads from Cherry Valley to
Sroudsburg, one of the bolts which fastens
the shaft to the axle fell out, the horse be-
came frightened and started off at full speed.
The gentleman, not being an experienced
driver, was unable to manage the steed
which was running and kicking at furious
rate. After going about two hundred yards
the horse ran over pile of wood and lumber
which caused the driver and one boy to dis
mount The horse then ran quarter of a
mile when he was stoped in his mad career,
by a farmer, who rushed out and caught the
reins which were dragging under the wagon.
During this time the other little fellow stuck
to the wagon and seemed to enjoy the ride
hugely not realizing what danger he was in.
Happy to state no one was injured

CHOLERA.
HOW TO CURE 1T.

At the commencement of the Diarrhoea,
which always precedes an attack ofthe Cholera,
take teaspoonful of the Pain Killer in sugar
and water, hot if conveniently and then bathe
freely tbs stomach and bowels with the Pain
Killer clear. Should the diarrhoea or cramps
continue, repeat the dose every ten or fifteen
minutes until the patient is relieved. In ex-
IRENE cases, two or more teaspoonfuls may be
given at dose
The Pain Killer, as an internal remedy, has
no equal. In cases of Cholera, Summer COM
plants, Dyspepsia, Dysentary, Asthma, it cures
in one night by taking it internally, and bath
ing with it freely. Its action is like magic, when
externally applied to Old Sores, Burns, Scalds
and Sprains. For Sick Headache and Tooth
ache, don't fail to try it. In short, it is Pain
Killer. Directions accompany each bottle
The Pain Killer is sold by all dealers in Medi-
cines. [aug. slim.

One of the great needs of Stroudsburg is

one OF the great needs Of Stroudsburg is
evidently large and well appointed Hotel
Those we have are well kept, and well patron
lied, but their appearance is not such as to
make them attractive to strangers, seeking
a place for summer sojourn from the heat
and stencil Of the cities. We have heard a
number Of the visitors here now, complain of
our great want in this respect, and they
earnestly volunteer the assurance that if our
hotel accommodations were greater and more
attractive, the influx of strangers here, dur
ing the visiting season would be almost un-
limited. All agree, that in beauty of seen
cry, excellence of water, and thoroughly de-
lightful and bracing air, no section of coun-
try excels OUTS Our only lack, is in accom-
modations, and cur capitalists should see
that this defect Is remedied.
