On last Tuesday night, the Stroudsburg
Cornct Band favored US with their first pub
lie performance. This band is composed Of
young men, who, with one or two exceptions,
knew nothing about the rudiments OF music,
three months ago. Since their organization
the boys have been working hard, under
the instruction and efficient leadership of
Prof Moran of Mauch Chunk, to get up to
the telling point in their respective parts.
And we trust that few will doubt that they
have made more than ordinary progress in
that direction, who had the pleasure of hear
ing them on last Tuesday evening. We
have no doubt that each one tried hard to
make his mark, and SO far as we have heard,
the UNIVERSAL opinion was that they did

so much life into the dilapidated body OF

election when there will be such shaking OF

ced before. Even though Cesarism be the
rule, and Gen. Grant be the nominee for the

Wild Pigeons.

A propeller which arrived at Detroit on
Saturday morning had on board 1900
live pigeons, recently caught near Frank
fort, in Benzie county, Mich. This is the
largest shipment of live pigeons ever made
at one time in the State, and II 900 Of
them are to be used at the approaching
New York State Convention of Sportsmen,
which takes place at OSwego July 25. The
Detroit Tribune says ''The pigeons this
year about Frankfort are more numerous
than they have ever been known before
Mr.. d. G. Wildwood, of this city, who re-
turned from Frankfort few days since,
reports that over an area of some three or
four miles square the trees are literally
covered with pigeous, and about 200 men
have been engaged for ten days or more in
catching Or killing them. Every day from
ten to forty barrels of dressed pigeons,
packed in ice, have been shipped from
Frankfort, besides hundreds of lives ones

Crystal Lake, few miles from Frankfort

which they feed upon. This flock, pre-

county some ten days or more, and there
afforded work and amusement to several
hundred men, and thousands of pigeons
dead and alive, were sent to various sec

THE new railroad through this REGION is
again the interesting topic of conversation
and speculation. The surveyed route has
been interviewed and found to be all that is
to be desired, and we are assured that all
that is needed is the right of way to secure
the immediate commencement of work. We
hope property holders along the route are
disposed to deal literally with the company.
The new road would prove the building up
of our county, to greater extent, doubtless
than the d. L. & W. has been.
