Things on the Peuiasuta.-We take the fol-
lowing items from the Milford News WIN.
Cannon, Esq, has laid OH a new Bridgeville
adjoining the Delaware Railroad. Maps with
streets, squares, and train of cars are post
ed up and the building lots are for sale. If
the terms on which they can be bought and the
advantages were fully made known the lots in
New Bridgeville would sell.---It was ru-
mored in town few days ago, that Mr.. Isaac
Carroll, Of Seaiord, bad committed suicide
while in drunken fit, by beating himself with
a grubbing hoe. On more particular inquiry,
we learn that there was no hoe in the case, but
that whisky alone did the worS.-One of
the respectable citizens Of Cedar Greek Humid,
Sussex co. was found in his wagon on the
road near Milford, on Monday last in very
feeble condition from the effects Of whisky
He seemed to be entirely helpless and unable
to take care Of himself, and some Eersons who
were passing took charge of the wagon and
| started to convey him to his residence, but he
expired before reaching it, One Of our
townsmon, a ship keeper, was found locked
| in his op on last Friday night, in dying
condition, with a jug of whisky by his side.-
| Some citizens were attracted to tho spot by the
groans OF the sufferer, and on calling received
no answer, when they burst the door open and
found him in dying condition. He died in IA
few minutes afterwards. --Mr. Chas. Will
ley, who resides about six miles from Milford,
/
riding on the horse power of threshing ma
chine. 1t appears that he was sitting ON the
lever near the inside end, when his le5 acct
dentally slipped between the lever and the
| permanent portion OF the frame, in which po-
sition the thigh was crushed in horrid man
ner.
The City TGr.-Thcrc are about IA 800 names
on the city assessment, and up to this time
only about LOO persons have paid their tax
leaving 2 500 TO pay between this and the first
of September, or to be called on by the col
lector afterwards. Allow three hundl,s for
errors, and there are 2 500 in arrgars.--0ut OF
this number over four hundred are property
holders, the balance 2,l00 being assessed
| merely on their capitation. We presume SOME
j six or seven hundred will yet come forward
!. and pay up, leaving l 400 to have the five pc
$ cent. added to their tax for collection, whel
+ they might have had that sum deducted if the,
!. had made payment in July. We had not sup
: posed that so large portion of our peOpl
: had neglected this matter, as it indicates
great want OF promptness and foresight. La
a borers and mechanics. knowing that the ia,
i must be paid within the year, should hav
, made an effort to save the forty or fifty cent
. difference in favor OF prompt payment over tn
l dunning process, as that sum is not to 30 pick
3 ed up every day. large proportion of TIL
! tax, however, has been paid, as about S2S, 00
have been received out of S37 900, leayin,
only some 5000 to collect, il we allow 81 .OO
! for errors. Those who have not paid. SHOULD
! do so at once, if they would avoid confusion
, on the day of the election, as there will be bu
one place to receive the money, and not n
as heretofore. On the ID of September, tn
7 books will be handed to Eli Todd, who will
J make an effort to collect from those who huv
not paid their quota towards the support of tn
government us every citizen should.
Disturbance at the Red Lion Cnnp.--O
/ Thursday morning, as the camp was breaking
up, some persons from New Castle, created
distul bance by knocking over a book Stand
! belonging to Jesse Lane, and other disorder
. conduct, when. four or five OF them was Sc zed
tied, and conveyed to New Castle for commit
a ment, but the parties in charge Ofthcm neglec
| ted to take the witnesses against them, AM
/ they were discharged. We understand tina
some Of them afterwards entered the cars ant
i threatened those who had assisted in their ar
rest, and they were only sienaed on bcinj
elected by the conductor. or all tho mean aci
committed by evil disposed persons, there i
nothing so despicable as an interference witt
a religious assembly. The william who is gull
ty OF it ought not to escape punishment.
