Tent Regular Troops In Attendance. Tie Third Brigade. N. O. including the Ninth regiment and the three Plttston companies.

Is now down to the routine work of camp life at Mt. Gretna, and the soldier boys have bad a taste of disagreeable weather, which, while It has given them an excellent Idea of the real life of tho soldier In camp, has not been very pleasant. All day Sunday rain fell steadily In the camp. Notwithstanding this fact, 6,000 visitors from the neighboring towns were In attendauce. and they tramped around the camp In several Inches of mud.

It was a dreary day for soldiers and visitors alike. On account of the bad weather, the brlgsds dress parade was dispensed with yesterday, and the only feature of the day of special interest was the guard mount, which took place early In the morning. Gen. Gobln.and staff made an Inspection of the camp, and religious services were held In the various regiments by the chaplulns. A gospel meeting was Also held In the Y.

M. C. A. tent, which, as usual. Is a feature of the camp and Is put to good use by tbe guardsmen.

The tent Is located close to the Ninth regiment, so that it is very convenient for our boys, the tent being provided with stationery, newspapers, writing tables, Ice water, etc. The camp Is one of the prettiest ever enjoyed by the guard. The Ninth regiment lies on the sloping ground facing thd cast, Just to the south of Division Hill, where Governor Penny packer will have his headquarters. Approaching the ramp from the station or the picnic grove the camp of the Wllkesbarre boys Is the first one that tho visitor enters. Lying south of and next to the local regiment Is the Thir teenth, of Scranton, which makes It very pleasant for the members of both commands.

The brigade consists of the 9th, 13th, 12th, 4th and 8th regiments, Battery and tho Governor's troop, and Fourth 1'. 8. artillery, commanded by Captain Foote, which was sent from Fort Mey er, and a hospital school from Washington. Tbe presence of the regular army troops has created quite an Interest among the members of tbe brigade and will enable them to gather much iiHcful Information regarding army tactics. W.

New Water Tank and Other Changes at Susquehanna Avenue 8tation. The L. W. R. R.

contemplates several improvements at the Susque hanna avenue Btatlon that will add considerably to the appearance of the place, and will also facilitate work on the road. A force of workmen com menced work there this morning. For the paBt thirty years two wood en water tanks have been located close by the station for the purpose of refilling the tanks of locomotives. The present tanks have bad considerable usage and are about worn out. They will give way to a new tank, which Is being erected by a squad of workmen in charge of W.

C. Dunning. The new tank, which will have a capacity about four times that of those now in use will be located a little south of the present site. It will be of wood, with strong Iron glrJcrs, and will be sixteen feet in diameter and about the same number of feet In height, standlns on a heavy wooden frame. It is not de cided yef whether or not Spring Brook water will supply the tauks or wheth er the company will place in position a small donkey pump of its own to pump from the river.

An Important change In the appear ance of the station will be wrought by the changing of the terminal of the double tracks. The railroad bridge at this point is a single track, although four rails are used, the double track swinging Into a single directly In front of the depot. According to the new ar rangement the change from the doii blc to the single will be made abont 100 yards south of the depot, near the swinging signal. This will ncces sitatc the moving of the depot plat form several feet to the west, and will allow the "arrangement of a neat lawn on the south side of the which, it is to be hoped, will be set off with a neat flower bed. giving the place very pretty appearance.

My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamhnrlnin'a Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedv with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by It.

The case was so sim ilar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful.
