To Maueh Chunk.

The young gentlemen Of the armory Of
the First Regiment Delaware National
Guards, have decided to give an Excursion
to Mauch Chunk on the l7th.of September.
As is well known the middle of Septem-
Der is the most delightful season of the
entire year to take in and fully enjoy noun
tain scenery.
AS that date the Autumnal tinge is SO
variegated that the noun tain side presents
scene Of indescrbable beauty: and at
Mauch Chunk these is so much to engage
the attention that one never tires Of the
charms there presented,
1t is the universal opinion of those
who have visited Mauch Chunk that the
ride over the Switch Back is fully worth
the fare charged for the entire trip.
Tho Armory is represented by the most
worthy young gentlemen of this city, and
it will be pleasure for our people TO en-
courage them in their efforts to secure a
building suitable for Armory purposes
The tickets, including Glen Onoke, will
be sold for three dollars.

revelled and luxuriated in the cool waters
of the Natatorium, look upon Manager Gar
retson as one of those good men.
The Natatorium is nothing less than a
blessing to perspiring Wilmingtoniaus, sec
them splashing and revclling in the cool
watel!, 1t is question whether greater
two hours luxury is discoverable under the
sun, that is when Old Sol is fercely gazing
at us with such beaming warmth as he has
