doubt. Let the political aspirants for
Senatorial hOnors say what they may, the
question Of Capital removal is going to
have much to do in the election Of a
United States Senator The counties we
named as likely 10 eCL with the Third
District in the Senatorial caucus are
known to favorable to letting the Csp-
itsl remain at Charleston. The Valley
Railroad running from Harpcr's Ferry
to Stanton, on the Chesapeake & Ohio,
affords them railroad communication
with Charleston, and consequently they
are but little Inconvenience by the pres
ent Capital location.
II the rCnovalists allow the third dis
ttict and Eastern Panhandle to make q

on the capital removal, Charleston will
remain the seat OF government, and the
third district will bear of the Senatorial
honor. And, who doubts but this is the
well laid plan Of their willy politicians.
Now there is way to defeat them, and

willing to elect any man Senator holding
high lucrative office. Mr.. FAULKNER,
it is conceded on all sides, is ono of our
most accomplished politicians, but the
fact that he has just been elected to the
lower Houae OF Congress, will probably de-

The East End Club.

Last Friday afternoon, while attending a
complimentary picnic rendered Miss Sallie
Hiber and Miss Lou. Sayre, at Lake Poponon-
ming, by Mr. Frank Hess and host of their
friends hereabouts, it was our pleasure to
stTaggle into the camp Of the East End Club
of Philadelphia, and right glad we are that
our lot fell among such jolly and sociable
crew
The club is composed Of the following
named gentlemen all Philadelphians DR..
c. H. BAIL, J. F. BAIL, Dr. p L. Benner,
J. j. Belsterling, ". f. Jacoby, 4. B.
Jacoby, II. H. Weierbach P. D. Kofel, NJ.
=. Sharp, c. G. Freed, j. A Weierback
and G. ". Lauer.
Their camp was pitched and oficered in
true military style; an officer of the day and
police appointed each day to keep the camp
ia order aud attend to the drawing of rations,
&c Now and then a special detail was
made to draw ''snappers' from the Lake
aud 'corks' from soda water and other bot
ties containing or something equally
as exhilirating. Although we had a press
ing invitation to investigate the mysteries OF
wicker baskets and iron bound casks, we had
to decline the profered hospitality, for prin-
ters never indulge, you know. But we did
enjoy delightful row around the lake, with
friend Belsterling doing the handsome at the
oars. While making the tour and nearing
a farm house on the bank of the lake, our
craft was signalled by Miss Hibler. We
landed and what could be more inviting to
the thirsty than pot of cool, rich milk,
especially when served by the handsome
brunette herself After satisfying the inner
man, we pushed off on the smooth, CLASSY
water. campward " bound, where we ar
rived in time to note the arrival Of Messrs.
Sharp and Freed, who had been spending
the day in Stroudsburg. They were borne
tenderly In the arms of their comrades from
their carriage to a table close by, when for a
short time, speeches and songs reigned
supreme
The shades Of night are lowering and the
time for our departure arrives. Reluctantly
we part with our new found friends, bat go
We must, with many thanks to the East End
Club for the hospitable manner in which
they entertained US
During their sojourn at the lake they won
a host of friends and all express regrets at
their departure. Should they visit US again,
which we hope they will, they can rest assur-
eJ of a hearty and cordial welcome. Bon
1oq.sqe to the East End Club.

sure to bring exhiliration to the occupants OF
the carriage and an untold amount OF envy
to the luckless wights who would like to DO
SO too, but can't because they are short OF the
necessary ''spons, to do it with. The lady
too has her part in the programme, which
will spoil the play if not well performed.
The most approved style-that which is most
closely followed-is to place herself In an
erect position, as though her stays were
braced with hickory hoop-poles her body
half turned towards her Sancho Panza, and
her eyes gazing intently on vacancy. 1t is
then that she is sure that she is doing the
figure just right, and that the pleasures OF
very heaven are falling steadily upon her.
Our assertion that the ladies Of Scranton
are, as whole, remarkably good looking,
and that the male bipeds are not much be-
hind them, we think will not be seriously
contradcted by visitors to that third city
of the State.
Politically, we learned that things were
beginning to bubble quite lively in I4uzerne.
At the time we we're there Hon. Frank ID.
Collins was busy manipulating convention
of the unterrifed at Whites Haven, so as
to secure his nomination to Congress, and
we have since learned succeeded to his per
feet satisfaction Luzerne has a good many
offices to fill, but it is alleged that she has
more patriots who desire to fill them by a
hundredfod. Well, such is Democracy,
and the more's the pity. From observation,
however, we do not see much hope for our
brethren of that stripe hereabouts. They
are smart, devilish smart, in Luzerne, and if
Frank ID. Collins is ia earnest in his essay
for higher hoDors than those he now bears
so blushingly, we do not exactly see how it
is to be prevented.
But four clock is here. The locomotive
sounds the bell fer departure. and with the
''all-aboard' of the conductor said, and the
puff, puff of the engine, we are off for home,
we'll satisfied with our trip, its business and
its pleasures, and confirmed in our belief
that it is good to travel around once and
awhile Six o'clock found us safely at home
again, when a wash up and a bite of some
thing to eat rendered us perfectly contented
and happy

In the death of John Y. Coolbaugh one of
the Elders of the Middle Smithfeld Presby-
terian Church, the church and community has
sustained an irrepairable loss Hewas the last
of the original bench of elders ordained at the
organization of the church
He was living witness for Christ, for over
half century, and in few lives has the redeem
er been more fully exemplifed
Hewas prominently man ofprayer. During
the precious revival in this church last winter
he was known to spend whole nights in PRAYER
And on his dying pillow he told one of the
members of his family he had spent much of
his life in prayer, which he did not now re-
gret, and counciled them to pray for sustaining
grace athis departure.
He has represented the church, nearly half
the time, for over forty years in Presbytery. In
appreciation of his worth to the church, eight
ministerial brethren were present at his funeral
which took place July 25th.
The session unanimously passed the follow
ing resolutions.
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased Almighty God
to remove from our number our senior brother
in the eldership, John v Coolbaugh. and
WHEREAS, The loss we sustain is irrepair-
able, be it resolved:
FTSt: While we bow in submission TO the
VIII OF God, we deeply lament the loss of ohr
elder brother, both TO ourselves as a session
and to the church, of which he was a consis,
tant member and faithful councillor for over
fifty years.
Second; We greatly rejoice that one Of our
number has given such living testimony to the
power OF the gospel of Jesus Christ in leading
such holy exemplay christian life, throug h
so long term of years. and that now we have
the assurance that he rests in Jesus.
Ihird' We have the greatest confidence
while ''he rests from his labors" his works will
follow him, and that the influence of his pray-
ers and efforts for the salvation of souls viii be
ielt In our midst for years to come.
Fourth: That we extend our deepest symna.
thy to the bereaved family, and that copy of
these resolutions be sent to them, and to the
county and religious papers for publication

THEODORE TILToN's affidavit before the
investigating committee in Plymouth church
has been made public. 1t is very lengthy,
and makes specific charges of criminal in
timacy between Henry Word Beecher and
Mrs. 1ilton. Mr. Beecher has since pub
lished a card, making denial of Tilton's
charge md declaring the latter's particular
allegations false. Until further develop
ments are made, We do not feel justified in
expressing an opinion as to the innocence
or criminality of the accused. But few
days now will be required to determine
with something like certainty the truth or
falsity of the charges. If Mr.. Beecher is
guilty, as Mr.. Tilton declares him to be.
then he is the blackest william that ever as
sumed the role of a good man. IF it is
found that he is innocent, his character will
come out brighter than ever, while his ac-
cuser will receive the deserved odium of
every pure minded person

COMPLIMENTARY Pic NIC.-Last Friday
complimentary picnic, was rendered Miss
Salhe Hibler and Miss Lou. Sayre, by their
numerous friends in Stroudsburg. The place
selected for the festivities was Lake Poponon-
ming and lovely spot it was. The day was
spent in rambling through the woods, boat
ing and gathering wild flowers, playing
croquet, and other games. We INDUCED in
game of euchre which we enjoyed hugely.
The party returned at late hour breaking
the Stiffness of the night with their merry
songs as they journeyed homoward. The
day thus spent, was pleasant one, and one
that will long be remembered by those who
joined the pleasure seekers. It is needless
to say that Mr. Frank Hess was the master
spirit of the picnic to whom all are indebted
for the jolly, good time they had. Vare In
