The public schools of our borough will
open on Monday, Sept. 4th, and with but
one or two exceptions, an entire new set of
teachers have been employed, who come
among us well recommended. With the va,
rioas school houses in perfect state of clean,
lines, and with new teachers, who will un-
doabtedly, Introduce different routine OF
studies from that which has heretofore
marked the progress of our schools, it is to
be hoped that parents will manifest more in
terest, In the welfare of their children than
usual, and that full compliment of school
ars may be in attendance. In order to make
our public schools what they should be, it is
absolutely necessary that parents and teach
ers should cooperate with one another.

Excursion parties and pic-nics

Z
been INDUCED in by our citizens generally
this season, to an unlimited extent To those
who have the time and means wherewith to
enjoy themselves in this manner, we presume
there is great deal of social enjoyment but
imagine yourselves, We excursionists! house
bound and moneyless year in and year out,
with your dish of pork and beans awaiting
you at meal time and for which we are very
thankful-and then you could realize the curse
of poverty in its worst form. Imagine YOUR
self in that predicament, and then you can re-
alize the fate of the printer. We have oft
times imagined the exquisite pleasures which
are necessarily derived from an excursion to
some romantic spot, romping over hills and
through wales in company with a party OF
pleasure seekers, and last but not least, after
becoming thoroughly tagged out, to seat our
selves at a well-filled table, and for once in
our lives, partake of good square meal But
alas i'm the language of our devil-there is
no such luck in store for us. However, these
pleasant little excursions are occasionally
thrown into state of excitement, and not
without just cause, either, as will be seen by
the following little incident which occurred a
short time since: A party numbering some
fifteen couples, composed of the elite and beauty
of our borough, was gotten up last week, their
destination being the celebrated Water Gap,
with its romantic scenery, than which, more
beautiful spot for such occasions cannot be
found. They started in the morning with
well-flled baskets, and with the brightest an
ticipations of passing pleasant day in the
woods. And neither were they disappointed :;
for the weather was all that could have been
desired, and the pleasures Of the day were un-
told-in fact, so deeply were their minds alb
sorbed in their fun and frolic, that ere they
were aware oft, darkness had spread her man
tie DER mother earth, while they were yet
within the deep recesses of that labyrinthine
forest. Here, indeed, was sad predicament
to contemplate. The frail maids and maidens
became very much alarmed at the prospect ofI
spending the night upon the mountain among
the wild beasts, who go prowling about seek
ing whom they may devour, while the heroic
gentlemen piled themselves vigorously to the
work, if possible, of extricating themselves
from this frightful dilemma. In searching
about the party in some way become separated,
and few of them succeeded in finding their
way out reaching their homes on the nigh,
express train, while they exhibited no small
degree of anxiety as to the fate of the remain
ing portion oftheir party, whom they knew to
be still upon the mountain, and with good
prospect of remaining until daylight came to
heir relief After roaming about in the dark

The improvements being made at IL

The improvements being made at the
Washington Hotel, and of which we made
mention in these columns some time since, are
now completed, in fine style. Mine
host Baldwin never does anything by halves,
and his bar-room now presents an air of ease
and comfort second to none in the State. His
table and bar are always stocked with the best
the market affords, and as "Stick-em," that
princely mixer of drinks is ready at all times
to attend to the wants of his customers, it is
certainly very pleasant place at which to
drop in"

CHOLERA.


At the commencement Of the Diarrhoea,
which always precedes an attack Of the Cholera,
take teaspoonful OF the Pain Killer in sugar
and water, hot if convenient and then bathe
freely tbs stomach and bowels with the Pain
Killer clear. Should the diarrhcea or cramps
continue, repeat the dose every ten or fifteen
minutes until the patient is relieved. In e1-
treme cases, two or more teaspoonfuls may be
given at a dose.
The Pain Killer, as an internal remedy, has
no equal In cases Of Cholera, Summer Com
plants, Dyspepsia, Dysentary, Asthma, it cares
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, Scads
and Sprains. For Sick Headache and Tooth
ache, don't fail to try it. In short, it is q Pain
Killer. Directions accompany each bottle
The Pain Killer is sold by all dealers in AIedi-

We accidentally dropped into Mr. Sam
uel S. Lees cabinet-ware rooms, on Frank
lin street, few days since, and were not a
little surprised to see what a thriving bust,
ness he has succeeded in building up. After
passing through the lower rooms, where we
were shown some splendid sets of furniture,
We repaired to the paint shop, and there we
were shown half dozen of the most elabo-
rately finished chairs which certainly reflect
great credit upon the artist Call and sec
him.

Our streets were rendered lively, on
Thursday evening last, by the passing
through of some twenty-five or thirty young
Misses in procession. On inquiry, we
learned that they were engaged in cclebrat-
ing the birth day of Miss Lizzie Davis,
daughter of the Rev. j. Kirby Davis, who
had just completed her 1lth step towards
her teens. As the procession was passing
given point we heard an old Curmudgeon,
spitefully calculate the expression, BED
lums broke loose" If that old ''codger"
should ever, by accident, reach Heaven, he
would spit out the same thing ON hearing
the voices of the Angels.

The Stroudsburg wooden mills are, a.
fast as possible, getting ready to run up to
their full capacity. Quite number of
hands are already at work, but these are not
a flee bite to the number that will be en-.
gagged when all is ready. Mr. John Dearie,
the proprietor, has had much experience in
the business, and will, doubtless, make it
pay, for himself and for our citizens, in the
necessity which the work will create for ad-
ditional produce and merchandise to feed and
clothe his hands and their families Mr.. ID.
we see, has brought his family here, prepar-
atory to taking up his permanent residence
among US. Being man of the stripe neces-
sary to make town prosperous and its peo-
pie gentlemanly, liberal, energetic
and enterprising-we extend to him and his
a most cordial welcome to Stroudsburg. 1t
would be good for us if few hundred more
of just such men would come and settle
among us.

The storm, on Tuesday, night of las

The storm, on Tuesday, night of last
week, of which We got a slight touch here,
was unusually terrific and destructive to the
north and northwest of us. In Scranton
the rain poured down in torrents, and sew
eral houses were struck by the lightning. A
man named Davis, residing in Hyde Park,
was drowned ina run, usually of insignificant
dimensions, but whose banks were filed to
overfowing by the rain. In Honesdale the
storm was pronounced one of the most
terrific that has ever visited that section
Buildings were struck and badly shattered,
but fortunately no lives were lost After a
vivid description of the Storm, the Herald,
offers, the aspiration 'may we never see it's
like again.

Last week we mentioned in these col
umns the fact that one of the great needs of
Stroudsburg, was new hotel, frst-class in
all its appurtenances. We would now an
nounce that another great need, and one
which becomes moro and more severely felt
as the heated term progresses, is the forma-
ton of an ice company, and the erection of
suitable buildings, that our citizens might be
supplied with that article during the sum-
mer months. Let some of our enterprising
citizens take the matter in hand at once.

The State Fair.-The policy of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, is to
make choice of location for holding its ex-
hibition, and make an arrangement for its sec
ond show at the same point, so that each
portion of the State shall have the opportunity
of witnessing the progress Of Agriculture, Hor-
ticulture and Cognate industries i'm. its own,
and from other portions of our Commonwealth.
In pursuance Of this plan, Scranton is again
the location for the coming Fair. To give ex-
hibitors every opportunity for the display of
their productions or articles carefully pre-
pared and large space of ground has been en-
closed, abnndantly supplied with water; easy
of access to any part of the city of Scranton,
and surrounding towns; and upon which has
been erected two halls, carefully protected
from the weather, 25Ox30 feet each one hall
I75x45; several spacious tents; 125 horse
stables; loo cattle sheds; so sheep pens so
pens for swine; an amphitheatre with 1000
seats, and every other arrangement for the
comfort of visitors or exhibitors in every de-
partment usually represented at such shows.
We advise all-Dut especially those who have
never seen the operations in the great coal and
iron district to visit Scranton and the State
Fair, which commences on Tuesday, the 10Th
day of September, 1871. A very considerable
exhibition of recently imported stock will be
i'll attendance.

The TrOt.-On Saturday last, quite
large assemblage gathered at the Fair Grounds,
to witness the trot, as announced in these col
umns last week, to come off at that time, A
majority of the number in attendance were
members of the sporting fraternity from this
and adjacent counties, conspicuous among
whom was a successful operator of "the little
JOKER" who succeeded in fleeing several of
the unwary ones out of few dollars. Every
thing passed off in a satisfactory manner,
however, the Easton horse carrying off the
palm in three successive heats. The following
were the entries: Mr.. Reuben Shupp of
Chestnuthill, entered "Sally Clay /" "Patchen
jr.," owned by Martin Brod, of Port
land "Hambletonian," owned by J. X. Smith,
of FlatberookvilIe, driven by Benz. Hannah
"Buckskin" owned by Joseph Fisher, of Easton.
Considerable jockeying was at first INDUCED
in by all hands, but finally, when scoring up
for the fourth time the word "go" was given,
when horses and drivers piled themselves Wig
orously to their work, and some splendid trot-
ting was witnessed, especially on the part of
"Buckskin," she having the outside track on
the start, and winning the first heat by about
half length, in three minutes. The two re-
manning heats were taken by the same horse, in
ESQ and 2:49. AS usual, on such occasions,
''tangle-foot" flowed freely, and, from the fact
that we saw several who had laid themselves
away-in fence corners-we Judged that some
of the numerous Democratic candidates here
abouts had been furnishing the "huid."
