VISIT TO EAST STRoUDsBURG.- The fire
laddies Of Stroudsburg with their Steamer
drawn by Mr. John q. Keler's black horses
and truck or hose carriage drawn by about
thrtyfve members in uniform, visited our
borough on Thanksgiving day, and our
streets were made lively with their presence.
By permission of Mr.. l. T. Puterbaugh they
took possession of the Station plug of the
d. J.. & w. r. r., and in few minutes had
steam up and were throwing two streams of
water. For the want Of fire the pipemen
amused themselves in squirting on each other
and on the boys in the crowd and it was not
long before some Of them were pretty well
drenched inside and out 1t has been their
custom to visit our borough every year on
Thanksgiving day, until last year they omitted
coming. We are always glad to see them
and trust the good feelings between us and
them may ever be engendered.

The oyganist Of a Meadville church fel
asleep during the services on a recent Sun
day. After some trouble he was awakened
and before he had collected his wits struck
up the tune of Yankee Doodle" Per
haps there may be an idea in this after all
1t is possible that some such stirring ali
might make the feet of the congregation
step quickly to time, and thus do away
with that tedious crawling along the aisle:
that we are compelled to experience aftel
the service is over. The experiment i
worth trying any way.
