About Pifman Grove.

Mr.. EpITOR:-If we were intending a
very short letter to the MONITOR about
pitnan Grove and the Pitmanites, we
should say, first, hat we think the site for
a camp well chosen, being at so convent
ent a distance from Philadelphia and Cam
den on the one hand, and Bridgeton, Mill
vile and Nineland, with intermediate
towns, on the other; that it is having,
and will undoubtedly continue to have for
years to come, a permanent, steady
growth; that the railroad facilities are
among the best; that the abundant supply
of vegetables, meats and provisions of
every kind is practically unlimited and as
cheap as anywhere; that the boarding ae-
commodations are quite mp TO the average
and very reasonable IN charges, 81 per
day for three meals and lodging; that no
where in the State is better drinking water
70 be found aud in more abundance; that
the cottages are quite up to the average IN
size and finish, and are improving in this
line year by year; hat the newspaper re-
porters on the grounds are among the best
fellows out, and do more to advertise
Pitman as a superb place of resort than
any one place at hand; that Or. Gilmour
and choir is grand feature OF the session,
without which. or y it'll which, rather, the
public would be Slow TO dispense; that
the habitual decorum and good order
maintained on the ground, and that, too,
with scarcely no effort ON the part of the
managers or police, but simply from the
v%olition of the crowds" is something
marvellous. And last, though hot least,
that the religious services Of the place are
unsurpassed in interest and fervor and in
the conversion of sinners and uplifting of
believers. Then, if We should stick to
the purpose of writing a short letter, We
should stop right here and say nothing
about-well, guess wen stop anyhow.

pernicious results, therefore be it

zens not only to vote against the adoption Of
those amendments, but to do all that lies
within our power to induce our friends and
neighbers to assist us in their defeat.

A VERY ORIGINAL PACKAGE.

The citizens Of Ottawa, Kan. hearing
that a Kansas City liquor dealer was on the
point of opening an - original package
saloon. met and subscribed funds to carry
on warfare against this conformity to
established law.
They unanimously agreed that any tap
ster who should show how beautifully a
law may be obeyed aud its spirit evaded
by this sort of thing should be daintily
smeared with tar, be pranked out in snowy
feathers and shipped back to Missouri
with label bearing the legend: AN
Original Package from Kansas"
Such an 'original package" would be
sold, badly sold. Just as it was. Despite
the allurement of this exquisitely humor-
ous scheme, the Ottawa people should not
violate the laws on somebody who has not
disobeyed them.

the year selected for the work was mis-
