Excursions and picnics follow upon each
other in this locality, and in some instances
conflict with each other. On Thursday,
August ID, the Post excursion and the
temperance rally at Pitman, both occur,
and not few persons in the county had
anticipated attending each, but must be
disappointed in one direction or the other,
and must choose between them. A differ
ent arrangement might have accommodated
all parties.
Those who were privileged to attend
Friends first day school picnic on Thurs
day had delightful day, as is usual at
Cedar Grove" where nature reigns I'M
molested, in all its pristine attractiveness,
where there are no sounds save the soft
ripple of the brook, the rustic of leaves and
the echo of the voices of happy children.

The ''Grove House, at Pitman is again
under the skillful management of G. w.
Elkinton.
The gasolene engine used in running the
electric lights, refused to work on Sunday
night and this was a very dark town, save
for the electric flashes during the storm.
Those who had relegated their lamps to the
storeroom, were obliged to resort to them,
and lanterns were in requisition on the
streets and in carriages.
The new dwelling on the hill at the
north end of town is approaching compile
ton, and now presents a very attractive
appearance.
The Eagle excursion leaves here on the
7th, next Thursday, and on the same day
the farmers picnic at Alcyon will probably
attract larger number than ever before.
Mrs Dr. Brown, of Tunkhannock, Pa,
is the guest of Mrs. Benjamin Black.
During the electric storm on Sunday
evening lightning struck the barn Of
Michael Duffield, near Jefferson, making a
large opening in the building and passing

them, or igniting the building. Another
illustration of the freaks that
plays.
