BLOOMING GROVE.

Mr. EDITOR
In your issue Of the 25 ult. l no
uce your correspondent from Ding
mans Ferry seems to feel quite sor-
ry for the Blooming Grove Park As
sociation. He appears to think that
because they pay their taxes and
employ native labor they are entit-
led to special privileges. SO far as
taxes are concerned they don't pay
any more than other people do in
proportion to the property they own
and when they had their land on the
seated assessment valued at Sl.00
acre they did not pay quite as much
/ wish to remind you correspond
ent that the residents of Blooming
Grove are not loufers, nor do they
uphold or encourage trespassing,
still when one of our boys is caught
on the Park grounds he should have
Just trial under the Same Act of
Assembly that member of the club
would be tried by for a similar Of
fense. They build largely on their
charter but at the same time seem
to forget that there are other laws
in Pennsylvania that gentleman are
bound to respect. If Caesar will
spend one summer in Blooming
Grove and make himself acquainted
with the surroundings, and facts
connected with the case he will be
better able to tell the public who the
loafers and who the gentleman are.

they could do much this fall in
that direction.
