These who are opposed to the run
ming OF trains on Sunday could not
have Ventured forth like the Tribune
man did yesterday morning and board
ing the second section of the New
Jersey Central special excursion was
carried with fifteen hundred others up
the mountain to PcnObscot and thence
to Glen Onoko, and Mauch Chunk. At
the latter place hundreds went over
the switchback, while others looked
over the quaint town, now enjoying
the height of the season many even
attending divine service. The hotels
were crowded with summer tourists,
and guests for the day, but the scribe
after attending to the wants Of the
inner man at the American House,
hied himself to the Glen. This popular
place loses nothing of its attractiveness

sands that were there enjoying the at
fractions resembec a cosmopolitan
population. and such it was as there
were excursions from New York, Phil
adelphia, Williamsport Harrisburg,

tage, likewise the public. The large
crowd reached their homes about s
