A Tour Through Sugar Valley

Interesting as other parts of Gin
ton county may seem to the eyes OF
the tourist Sugar Valley stands pre-
eminent of all. Not on account of
its variety and grandeur of some of
the remarkable works of nature.
At the lower end of Nittany val
ley isa beautiful mountain road lead
ing to Sugar valley. Along this
road flows Il rapid stream, known as
Flat Rock, which rises near the top
of Nittany mountain. Connected
with this small stream are few facts
which may he interesting to the
reader. This stream is formed by
mary mountain springs and during
wet seasons they become very large.
During the flood Il "water spout
opened ON Nittany mountain bring
ing down into the stream thousands
of tons OF rocks and earth, forming a
dam which caused considerable de-
struction to Il little village below.
On the top of tins mountain arc
many beautiful farms with large ap-
pie orchards which seem to thriv,
well here. Near the valley ON thi,
road is a large sulphur spring-a
rarity of Pennsylvania. Entering
the valley at this place one can see,
on a clear day, from one end of the
valley to the other. Enclosed onall
sides by mountains not only mark
ing the distinct limits of the valley,
but presents some of the most attrac-
tive mountain scenery in Pcnnsyl-
vania.
Sugar valley well deserves its
name. A tourist need not carry
provisions along while travelling
through here. The hospitality OF
the people is beyond question the
most part to be mentioned.
Does any one wish to improve in
health and grow fat by teasting up
on the good things of German peo-
pie? Go to Sugar Valley.

in Centre county, in the attempt to
arrest w. r. Etlinger, desperate
character who had shot Constable
Barner, the sheriff ordered thedwell-
ing occupied by the outlaw TO be
burned to drive him out. The FAM
lily was driven out and Etlinger shot
and killed himself. The owners OF
the property brought suit against
the sheriff to recover the value OF
the house destroyed. I.astweek Judge
Love rendered decision to the ef-
feet that the sheriff had no right to
destroy the property and he is there
fore liable.

Angler Caught His Eyeglasses
When They Fell IN the River Big Bass
Had Gulped Them Down

Stroudsburg, Pa, Sept. 4.-Law-
yer j. Temple Hopple, of Philadel-
phia, who, with his family, is spend
ing the summer opposite the Della
ware Water Gap, on the Jersey
shore, lost his eyeglasses in the
river a few days ago, but to-day he
unexpectedly got them back. He is
an ardent fisherman, and this morn
ing he landed a fine big black bass,
which, when cut open, was found to
contain the missing glasses in its
stomach. They were folded when
they dropped into the water, and
the fish had gulped them down
easily, but was unable to digest
them.-Phiid. Record.
We are not certain at Middleburg
whether Tom. Harter Of the Belle
tonte Gazette was at Stroudsburg
fishing and sent the abovecommuni-
