miles from the railroad at the Milford juno

which Is doing flourishing business, owned
by VIM. A. At lnl on, who was an active menu
Der Of the last Legislature. This gentleman is
also engaged in the business of surveying, the
duties of which he attends to promptly, and
We learn his skill and knowledge in this line
cannot be excelled, and his services are requir-
ed for mics by all in want Ola practical and ex-
perienced person. A short distance from this
place is the village OF Greenyille, containing
two or three small frame houses and store
which Is kept by Solomon Barwick, who also
acts In the capacity of postmaster. The coun-
try hore Is level, and the soil is rich and easily
titled. Indeed, in all eur travels, we have no
where come across better natural soil. few
years ago land here could be purchased quite
low, but now proprletors ask prices varying
from to 20 thousand dollars. Mr.. Rawley,
Daniel Curry, Esq, J. sSmith, Mr.. Gallo
way, r. Merrken and others have some fine land
which produces fair crops. The fine farm be
longing to Mr.. Rawley, of Milford, has for the
last six years, been occupied by Stephen W.
Anderson, an experienced agriculturist, who
has after paying about 5000 annually, accum-
ulated by his industry over ST. 900 per year.
He lately purchased handsome and valuable
tract of land in Maryland, to which he will re-
move the coming year. We here take occa-
sion to return our sincere thanks to Mr.. An
derson and his amiable lady, for the hospitality
and kindness which we received at their hands
during our recent visit to Vernon. Let the
stranger go where he will amongst the hardy
yeomanry of Kent and Sussex, he will be re-
ceived kindly and courteously, as tho latch
strings are universally to be found on the out
side oftheir doors. This Is characteristic OF
the people.
