she did not will doubtless be found In the
facts, that nearly four bushels of cinders were
taken out of the coal burned in the one day
trial, and the high winds and heavy atmos-
phere prevailing.
On Tuesday afternoon a better article OF
coal having been procured from Scranton,
the steamer was taken to the race up town,
and another trial had, with the following re-
suit: With inch and quarter nozzles and
through so feet of hose, she threw two
streams of 2l0 feet each, and one stream Of
go feet with one and thrce-sixteenth inch
nozzle and through so feet of hose, she threw
a stream of 27l feet with one and quarter
inch nozzle and through $50 feet of hose, she
threw a stream at least 20 feet above the
Spire of the Lutheran Church or $50 feet
high. This closed the trials, and satisfied
all that, though her work already done was
wonderful she could do still more, If neces-
sary The pressure of steam at no time ex-
ceeded 100 lbs, and most of the time was
held at or about 20 lbs Her working move
ments are all admirable, and so completely
under control, that she at no time needs
blocks, and at all times, under any pressure
runs with the regularity of clock work.
We cannot close this article better than by
appcnding the following report of the Com
mittee of Experts in Mechanical and En-
gneering science, unknown to the manufac-
turer's, and selected by Council, because of
their peculiar fitness and extended exper-
fence. To al boroughs or Fire associations
we would commend the Clapp & Jones
Manufacturing Company, and we cheerfully
venture the assurance that they will best
subserve their interests and safety, by doing
as we have done-securing one of their un-
approachable Machines.
To the Burgess and Torn Council Of tStroudsburg:
GENTLEMEN:- In accordance with your re-
quest, we have closely examined the Steam
Fire Engine, built for this Town by Messrs
CLAPP & JONES, of Hudson, N. Y, and care
fully noted the working of the same during the
various trials of yesterday and to-day. We
consider the Engine in all respects first clas:
and have no fault to find, eithor with its de
sign, workmanship, or action. We find the
construction simple, well proportioned, and
specially suited for the work, and We are par
ticularly pleased with its steam generating ca
pacity, and consider it in all respects, to be
worthy of your entire confidence.
Very respectfully,
JAMES F. SANFORD,
CHAS. HEATON.

What a leading New York paper says Of
z. T. BARNUM'S NEW MAHs.
MOTIF ENTERPRISE.

"The public will, on doubt be gratifed to
know that p. I. Barnum, the world-renowneG
Snowman, is going to open his great travelling
show in this city, on Third av., corner Sixty
third street, where it will remain on exhibition
every day and evening until further notice
He has paid Mr.. Geo. Wood, with whom he
entered into an agreement four years ago not
| to open any amusements in this city for ten
years. the munifcent sum of Sl5, 900 to 30 far
release him from his bond as to permit him to
exhibit his great travelling Museum, Menagerie
Caravan, Hippodrome, and Circus for period
not to exceed six weeks, in the Empire Rink
in this city, to commence on or about the 18th
of November, 1871.
Our readers will remember that for some
time past there has been arriving in this city
the Great International Geological Garden,
Polytechnic Institute, and Hippodrome, etc,
from England.
The intention of the proprietors was to open
this great establishment in the Rink ; but they
were prevented from so doing by P T. Bar
mum, who had already secured the right to oc-
cupy the same building, although this fact was
unknown to Messrs. Batty, Marhall, Hingly,
and DIR. Jean, the London proprietors.
Seeing their dilemma, Mr.. Barnum gener-
ously stepped forward and purchased the en-
tire concern, and has now merged it into his
already Colossal Exhibition, which, with these
additional attractions, will make the largest,
most extensive, and diversified combination of
amusements ever known. p. Il. Barnum
knows how to get before the public what their
demands are, and is willing to spend million
of dollars to carry out his plans. 1t seems to
be his delight to give the public ten times the
worth of their money.
There are hundreds and thousands of his old
friends who will be glad to welcome him back
to this city, where he will be generously pat
ronized. The exhibitions are to be strictly
moral and unobjectionable. The Empire
Rink with all the attractions of Barnum's
Show will make delightful place of family
resort

FEMALE WEAKNESSES.

There is no class of diseases known to Medi-
cal Science of more frequent occurrence or so
little cared for as those peculiar to the female
organism. A slight arrangement of health
from delicacy or some other cause is often al
lowed to continue until the whole system suf-
fers, and constitutional disturbances of grave
and serious character are often established.

Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir IL wish to make
known, through your paper Of this week, to the
public generally, especially of this and djoin-
ing counties, fact. / understand it has been
reported, by a few excited persons, that the
SMALL Pox is in our midst, and raging won-
derfully. 1t is grand mistake. We have
but one case, and no prospect of any more at
present. The case is of nearly three weeks
standing, and we are using all means to hold
the family in close quarters, and have thus far
been very successful. The family resides be-
tween the church and school house, and are
well supplied by their neighbors with all the
necessaries of life. The schools are closed, and
no intercourse with the family sufficient to
cause it to spread any farther is allowed

The deaths from small pox in Phil
adelpha last week amounted to l53, an
increase Of 20 over the week previous
The greatest number were in the 4th,
goth and 29th wards. In four Of the
wards there were no deaths from this
cause. The small pox is said to be very
severe in New York, where considera bic
alarm exists. In the smaller towns and
the country districts generally it is very
little known.

Corner LOahng.-The young mer

who congregate upon the street corners
evenings and occupy their time in squirting
tobacco juice over the pavement and making
remarks upon ladies who are compelled to
pass them, might find much better way to
employ their time +; and another class, of the
same persuation, who may be found every
Sunday, during the greater part of the day,
hanging around Matlack's corner, and at
various similar localities about town, are an
abomination which should not be tolerated.
We presume there is borough ordinance
prohibiting this kind of street loa6ng. If
there is it should be enforced, aud if there is
not, one should be speedily enacted.
