A Modern AIIerory.

CWritten for the Dispatch.)
This tale l tell is truthful, quite,
About cat and rooster,
Who sometimes look as IL they'll ngh
Then all at once refuse to.
The cat would ruffle up his back,
The rooster spread each feather:
IT'S sad TO tell. though true, alack
They never got together.
The rooster looked as If he'd like.
His feather coat to shed off:
The cat was mad enough to strike
The ROSTERS angry head off.
The rooster closer poked his head,
The cats designs to spy out;
When, quicker far than this is said,
The cat had scratched his eye out.
The rooster made dreadful cry,
Such treatment he's unused to:
The cat in fear turns round to fly
Before the valiant rooster.
And so my story here must cease,
Because my tale is ended;
The two Will soon be quite at peace,
And each will think 1t splendid.
The valiant ROSTERS name is u. S.,
And Spain the old cats name is;
The cat first started all the fuss,
And upon him the blame is.

Resident of Bradford Views the
Wonders of the D. and H. Gravity
and Makes Observations.

| Special to the Scranton Tribune.
ToWanda, oct. 3.-That the month of
| September is the proper period of the
year for one to enjoy an outing, has
been proven by the writer. Our first
principal points of interest was the
| scenes of the lumber camps and the
hum of the saw mills as we rolled over
| the Lehigh Valley branch, known as
| the Bowman's Creek, from Towanda
| to Wilkes Barre. The mining section
| of this wild woods shows that con-
| siderable fuel has been brought out
| and shipped to a great extent in the
state. The most beautiful sheet of wat
| er will also be seen at GanoOga Lake,
| where year after year cottages are oc-
| cupied by those who go to leave all
care and toll at home. After a short
| ride through the wilds of Sullivan coun-
| ty we were soon brought up alongside
| that large and bottomless lake, thence
soon we are viewing the beautiful Wyo-
| ming Valley and are brought into the
| grand depot at Wilkes Barre, which
| city is well known for its beauty ard
| interesting public places. After Will
| ing a few hours amid the throng of
| cityiteS we boarded the electric car
| for Pittston, the city of saloons and
| dirty streets, although we admit it has
| many beautiful buildings both public
| and private. Now we are in the center
| of the mining section of the valley,
i where tons of coal are mined daily and
| shipped in all direction. At this place
| we were royalty entertained by Edmund

ABOUT BURROUGHS.
The limit of the furloughs will soon
be reached the order allowing ten
men out of every company to go home
at one time has been in force nearly
three weeks, and as a result, most of
the men have been home. When the
last ones are reached, and that will
probably be the case next week, the
furlough privilege unless in cases OF
very urgent necessity, will cease.
Those who are now going home are en-
We'd by all the others, especially as a
movement from here to some camp
farther off is among the very probable
possibilities.
General Goblin Is formulating n plan
of work for the regiments of his COM
mand which he may probably soon put
into execution. This will consist of a
march from here to the old camp
grounds of Mount Gretna, a distance
of eighteen miles from here, ard some
target practice at the we'll known
range at that place. The men are to
bring their shelter. tents, ponchos anG
blankets. The entire trip will take at
least four days, and may be under
taken next Tuesday morning early. At
this writing all the details are not
perfected; nor is any date absolutely
fixed.
