The average prices at the Scranton coal sale
in New York yesterday, reported in a telegram
to TIE STAR, showed an increase of cents per
ton Tor steamboat, 2]1 cents decrease for Ut ate,
Il cents decrease for egg, Z cents decrease for
stove, and I6A cents increase for chestnut. The
amount Of coal offered for sale was much less
than usual, and to this fact, says the New York
Post. may probably be ascribed the increase in
the price OF certain qualities.

as we have been informed by several who
were present, truly happy party was assem-
bled. This school is not SO large as are the
others in town, but it was evident from the
perfection displayed in the exercises, and the
excellent department of the children assem-
bled, thorouehness is a characteristic of the
government therein The exercises concluded,
refreshments and plays ruled the hour, and
children, parents and friends enjoyed the
good things and the fun to their hearts con-
tent. Ice cream. cakes, meats, bread and
butter, with accompaniments inummerabe,
were there in abundance, and when the
breaking up time arrived all repaired to their
homes satisfied that happy day and hap
py occasion had been most happily got
through with All who were present, will
doubtless look forward with joyful anticipa-
ton for the arrival of the time for the next
gala day in the woods
The Methodist sabbath school held its pic
ic on Starbird's s Island, one of the most
delightful spots for such gathering in all
this neighborhood Several hundred, includ
ing, parents, friends and scholars assembled
here, and, as is usual with this school there
was "a grand gool time" The exercises,
feasting and fun, owing to the abundance of
the former and the good material for the lat
ter occupied the best portion of the day.
Our informant, who casually struck the
ground at about p. M, found the elder por-
ton of the company gone, but a roped circle
and the happy pealS of laughter, and the
thrilling ''smacks' proceeding from the circle
and its circumference, attested to even his
venerable ears that good old fashioned "Copcn-
hagen" with its kissings its huggings and its
fun was in the full tide of successful opera
ton. 1t was good time indeed, and may
all live to enjoy many an annual return of its
pleasures.
The African Methodist Sabbath school also
spent the day pic-nicing and had an abun-
dance of fun and good cheer.

JONES'S HORSE-WAS 1T STOLEN

Monday afternoon Prof Lewis, the
horse-tamer, came to Port Jervis with a
horse which had belonged to John Jones,
of Sparrowbush. He had the animal ship
ped for Gloucester, Mass In the evening
he took train for the east. The horse
was recognized by Mr.. Brink, of this vii
lage, as having belonged to Mr. Jones, and
he at once notified the latter of the transac-
ton. He Immediately came to Port Jervis,
obtained warrant of Justice butcher,
and this morning he and officer Harrison
took train IL. Last evening despatch
was sent by which Prof L. was detained
This morning he was captured at Suffern
and brought back An examination be-
fore Justice butcher was to have been held
this afternoon but in order to procure wit
nesses has been postponed until clock to-
morrow morning.
We understand that Lewis claims that
he bought the horse, while Mr.. Jones
states that the Prof took the animal under
the understanding that he was to drive it
over In Jersey and sell it.-Port Jerris

A DAY OF Pic Mes Thursday last was
a day of pic MICS in this section of country,
and the sabbath school children were made
happy, as they deserve to be, and oftcner
than they are. These affairs should not be
strictly annual, as is now the case, but
should be oft-occasional and if the usual
routine of the school could be occasionally
varied by a Sabbath afternoon session in
somc quiet grove we do not believe that the
morals of the children would suffer, or that
God would be displcascd thereat.
The largest Pic Mic of the day was that
held at Lake Poponoming, where twelve
sabbath schools, from congregations in the
neighborhood, embracing various denomina-
tions, were gathered together for season oi
enjoyment. The day was fine, and as the
arrangements were in charge of skillful mana
gers, every thing passed off as pleasantly as
could possibly be expected. At least fifteen
hundred persons were present, and as all,
except the few among the spectators who
INDUCED little too freely in the ardent and
rather made fools of themselves than any.
thing else, were bent on rational pleasure
an enjoyable time was had The exercises
by the school children were very fine and in
teresting, and their excellent singing received,
as it richly deserved, full measure of praise.
The Brodheadsvie brass band, an institution
under the rearage of Professor Moran, and
which reflects credit on both teacher and
home, added to the pleasure of the occasion
by the excellent music discoursed during the
day
Nearer home we had the pic-nics of the
Lutheran and Methodist Sabbath schools of
our borough. The former spent the day at
Kautz's woods, a very pretty spot, where,

SUDDEN DEATH. While William Holmes
of Camden, n j., was riding out in car
riage, on Monday afternoon last companied
by his wife and two children and his Uncle,
Dr. John Holmes of Philadelphia, he COM
planned of cold and numb feet. His uncle
advised him to stomp his feet on the floor
or rub his anclcs, so as to restore the circua
ton. Mr. Ii. at once proceeded to do so,
but was soon seen to raise his hands and
almost instantly became specchless and went
into spasms The Doctor attempted to re-
licve him but without effect and after several
spasms he sank back dead The diseased
with his family were spending the season at
Analomink boarding house, Experiment
Mills, and up to the time of his sudden death
had never experienced sick day. How
horrible the transition which this sad af1iic-
ton has brought to his family. At one mo-
ment Il husband and father full of vivacity
and love for his family and the very picture
Of good health, and the next moment a low
ing wife widowed, and tender children father
less, in the very presence of death. 1t was
indeed an event calculated to stir up the
fountains of sorrow and sadness from their
deepest depths The deceased was about
thirty FIVE years of age. The cause of his
death WA doubtless appopl"xy.
The remains were brought to the under
taking establishment of McCarty & Sons the
same evening where they were cmbamed and
prepared for sepulchre and, on Tuesday
morning forwarded to the late residence of
the deceased at Camden, n j., for burial.

WATER GAP VS.. TOM COLLINS.

On Friday morning the Captain of the

Thursday, again visited this rural burgh, seek
ing new victims, and his eye was on the Tom
Collins lads, and this time all his friends must
see how prettily their nine polishes off its
come to the Gap. Nothing 10th, the boys OF
mysterious namesake, hastily completed their
arrangements and in the early afternoon
embarked on board the Roanoke" and at the
appointed hour were upon the ball field (which
had evidently, heretofore, been wont to swell
the potatoe crop of Monroe County, ready to
receive their doom. Everybody came out to
see their pets walk away with the visitors and
large assemblage of spectators crowded the
outskirts of the field, very liberal sprinkling
of the fair sex being noticeable Mr.. Eisenbury,
the gentlemanly umpire of the previous day,
again accepted that onerous position, filling it
TO the credit of himself and entire satisfaction
of al parties. The game commenced and it
soon became evident that the pets had found
their match this time, undoubtedly. The
spectators, especially the young ladies, were
awfully piqucd at first, and every little play
of their favorites was loudly applauded, while
the best efforts of the Collins boys were received
with the coolest silence but when their huge,
jolly left fielder, he of the auburn locks, made
one of most beautiful running catches ever
seen on ball field, and when, just afterwards,
the tall Gummere, one of the best ball players
we've seen in many day, made that glorious
hit away down over the bank towards the river,
and went first, second, third and-six feet of
solid humanity stretched at full length on the
ground two feet from the home base, his very
fingers stretching to reach the plate, and happy
Tom Walton tapping him gently with the ball,
magnifccntly felded in, they could no longer
forbear and fairly made the wclkin ring with
their shouts and clappings, and during the
remainder of the game the applause was more
equally distributed. The ground was so
terribly rough it was impossible to play any
thing like good fielding game, which accounts
for the hiph fDureS of tho scOre.
