In every field of honorable contest anc patriotic purpose, as a soldier, winning in his boyhood the stripes of a general in the union army, as a public official serving with equal fidelity his country in prominent places in tht political field, he has proved himself alwayt worthy of the respect and admiration of hit countrymen. In his whole public career, in his unselfish service, and with hie nature he lias given freely his time and labor, never thinking of private profit or persona emolument, liis whole life is a generout proof of his manliness of purpose and his patriotism as a citizen.

A special correspondent of the Read- 'imes has the following interesting facts onnected with Cold Spring's Hotel and 3old Spring township, this county: A number of Reading people are at resent quartered at this resort in the mountains of Lebanon county. Cold prings is in one of the wildest regions maginable, in the northwestern corner Lebanon county, not far from the Dauphin line. It is on the Schuylkill nd Snsqnehanna branch of the Philadel- hia Reading railroad, 33 miles west of Lulmrn and 26 miles northeast of Harris- A small stream, called Stony rises in the most northern town- hip of Lebanon county, and flowing westwardly empties into' the Susque- anna river at Dauphin. Its whole ourse is through a narrow gorge in the mountains, which cannot be dignified vith the name of valley. One of the lain sources of this creek is Cold spring, fountain of the purest water, which has jeen so called on account of maintaining uniform temperature of 'he spring has given name to the town- hip.

Cold Spring is one of the mofit-remark- ble townships in the United States. It outains but one family, resident the vhole year round, and "but nine voters, formerly there were but two voters, and me man filled a half dozen offices, such judge of election, justice of the peace, assessor, tax collector and postmaster, 'here are no township supervisors and no chool board. The roads in the township re maintained by the county. The en- ire township is a primeval forest, save a ract of cleared land connected with the 'old Spring Hotel, which has been converted into a highly. productive farm, with apple and peach orchards, vineyard, and grass 'fields, meadow and gar- ens.

It is a veritable oasis in the wilderness. The hotel is surrounded by forest trees of entury's growth. Of the nine voters low in Cold Spring township, seven are icpublicans. It is bounded on the onto by the South mountain, which IB he first range lying north of and parallel with the Illne mountain; and on the north by the Third, or Sharp mountain. To the north of the latter is the Fourth, Stony mountain; next comes the or Peter's mountain; and then the 3road mountain.

These are all parallel ranges, the Broad, as its name implies, widening out on top to a platean.scattered over which are some of the most productive mines of anthracite coal in the world. No coal is found south of -the Third, or Sharp mountain. This will not be very welcome intelligence to the misguided individuals who are putting faith and money in finding coal in Albany Berks county. The guests indulge largely in boating and fishing, there being a lake three- fourths of. a mile long, teeming nekeral, pike, bass, catfish and carp.

There is excellent trout fishing in Stony creek. There are ten boats at the lake, which can go to the extreme eastern end, where there is a delightful shady retreat, which has been called Lover's Nook. The grove contains numerous swings, a dancing pavilion and bowling alley. Then there are lawn tennis courts and croquet grounds. Pitching quoits and laying billiards and pool are favorite amusements with the gentlemen.

There area number of wide-and well-shaded nazzas, where reclining in hammocks seated in comfortable chairs, the ladies and children can obtain all the fresh air needed. Every Sunday evening there is a service of sacred song in the mrlors, led by Col. John F. Kerper, of Elarrisburg, who is here with his family and will remain until the season ends. The walks in the neighborhood are simply grand, a shady avenue leading rom the hotel for miles, being one ol the finest.

From the mountain tops are obtained indescribable views. THE LICK OBSKVATOBT. he Brave Fight of the Scientific Corps the Flames.

It was aused by the carelessness of campers id the tract burned over is about ght miles wide. The aggregate loss will exceed and the fires are raging in every irection.

Just what the ature or extent of the damage is they would not say, but it is understood that ome of the scientific apparatus will ave to be entirely replaced. The great elescope and its costly object glass have ot suffered any injury.

Owing to the dense clouds of smoke hat still envelop the heights of Mount Hamilton, no attempts at astronomical bservations have been made for a week ast. For the time being all visitors re excluded from the observations. Trees Broken by Their Weight of Froit. Fanners all over the State are sacrificing fruit to save the trees. Many trees iave already been broken by the weight of the immense crop of fruit, and as a last resource the farmers'are knocking off some of the fruit so that the trees may be saved.

The early apples are ripe, and never have they been better than they are this season. Left for the West.
