Passed by here, to our shame be It said,
without particular recognition on the part Of
our citizens. The boys, and boymen, how
ever, by means OF FIRE crackers and other
instruments of patriotism, contrived to make
it a little more noisy, and an influx Of visi
tors from other parts helped to make 1t more
lively than ordinary days But it was quiet
day in comparison with what it should have
been, and We hope its next return may find
US at least as patriotically christian in its OBJ
seryance as we find the people Of other places
have been Quite numherof our citizens,
acting on our suggestion, spent the day in
Tannersville, and all agree in their estimate
Of the glorious good time had in that ham
let
The celebration at Tannersville was gotten
up under the auspicies Of the Band Of Mys-
tic brothers, an Organization having, we be-
believe, no foothold in any other section Of
our county We DO not know what the
peculiar objects aud tenets of the order may
be- but this we do know that the brethren are
patriots, who know how to celebrate the 4th
of July. Good order was characteristic of
the whole proceeding, and the previously ar
ranged programme was faithfully carried
out The Rev. Mr. Sanderlin. Of East
Strudsburg filed the role of orator on the oc-
casion, ard acquitted himself admirably. His
address gave universal satisfaction. The
other speakers also acquitted themselves
well The day proved one of great enjoy
ment unmarried by single accident
The towns generally around US, by celebra-
ton, exhibited their appreciation of the
herculcan job done by the men of 70, and
we have read accounts of obseryanccs that
do great credit to their several localities, but,
if we may believe the accounts of the news
papers, that at Scranton put the cap sheaf
on all celebrations. The procession formed
in close order, occupied length of three
miles, and was one hour and twenty minutes
in passing given point, it was made up of
the public authorities, the military, the fire
men and civic socities in full regaa, the re-
presentatives of all the trades, and industries
of Scranton by means of mimic workshops on
| WHccIS, clJiZtIlS On lOOG anu Ou IOTSS Udck,
minstrels and fantasticals 1t must have
been brilliant affair indeed, and well worth
journey to see. The celebration closed in
the evening by display of fire works which
cost 81 COO This was somewhat dimmed in
briliancy, however, by the drizzly weather
The deeds Of the days which tried men
souls, - will not soon be forgotten in places
where such display can be conceived and
successfully carried into effect
Among the names of those who took part
in the mechanical portion Of the procession

we find that of our former townsmen iiiiam
Blume. a graduate Of Mr.. Valentine hautz :
wbeelwright shop in this borough. Mr. D.
had FIVE immense wagons in the procession
filed with workmen and material, who
exhibited the whole process OF wagon max
ing, from the rough plank, through wheel
wrighting, blacksmithing, setting up, paint
ing and trimming to the completed buggy.
There were a dozen displays, in shape OF
boiler makers, carpenters, carbuiiders, Prln-
ters and shoemakers fully equal to Mr.
Blume's, but none in which our people VIII
take SO much interest. 1t was calculated
that there were at least 10000 strangers
drawn into the city to see this display, and
not an accident to mar the day.
Now we can conceive of 80 better manner
in which to celebrate the day than this OF
Scranton's and there is no reason why, by
another year, Stroudsburg cannot be prepar
ed to 90 into it heart and soul. -Four weeks
preparation did the whole thing In Scranton
and if we talk the matter over and get our
selves impressed with the idea before hand
two weeks, or even one, if our mechanics be
come interested, would be all-sufiicient time
to figure and trim up celebration, no
equal to Scranton's perhaps, but by IL
means derogatory either to Stroudsburg o.
to the day. Think Of it.

The Effects o. Lightning.

\ heavy thunder shower passed over this
place on Wednesday evening of last week,
which by thoroughly soaking the earth here
abouts broke the force of the drought which
has prevailed, more or less for several weeks
past, It's value to the oats, potatoe and late
corn crops is invaluable. During the preva-
lence Of the storm shed belonging to Robert
Brown in East Sroudsburg, was struck by
lighting and consumed. The contents were
nearly all saved Our fire laddics, with the
aid of David Keller's team, soon reached the
scene Of condagration, but owing to the scar
city of water did not get into service.
While Mr. Alfred Kneiper, of Tobyhanna
Mills, in company with his wife and another
member Of his family, who had left home the
same afternoon, were riding along the road
near Fork S station they encountered the
same storm. When they reached the station

But the distance from the earth and the
amount of gas in the bag was so great, they
sailed over us at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, for about eight miles, landing as be
fore described.
The anchor had caught in the top Of {

around by the surface winds in disagree
able manner. The passengers, by cllngln9
to the tops Of trees, kept near the earth
until several men, from neighborlng farms
arrived and succeeded in holding the shil
to the ground until the occupants coulC
alight. Before the gas had all escaped th'
balloon would make an occasional surge
and lift those holding the ropes ten or tit

The distance from Buffalo to this city il
a direct line is about $50 miles, but Mr.
Holden estimates by the different course
they must have sailed 450 miles bctor
making landing, having been thirteel
hours in travelling the distance named.

SrRouDsBURG Brass BAND No. ., made
its first public appearance on our streets on
Friday evening Sd inst. They went to East
Stroudsburg and back on the Street Car, dis
coursing good music at intervals. This band,
we are informed, is composed mostly of mem
bers of old bands, which in part will account
for their ability to execute difficult pieces with
reasonable accuracy and comparative case
We have no reason to doubt that they have
sufficient capacity to make a first class band,
and we hope to see them persevere until that
end is attained This band IS under the in
struction of Prof. COATS, of Easton. Why
should not Stroudsburg look forward to the
time when it shall be proud of its accomplish
cd bands?
