Of Milford made great preparations for the cell
ebration of the Fourth, but the weather, that
great terror 10 those who desire u fair day,
proved unfavorable. The rain for afew days be-
fore and on the Sd made the grove sodamp and
unpleasant that il was thought best not to go
out to it. Our citizens and visitors, however,
assembled in the grove in front of the Acade-
my, where Hon J.. Z. ComeRys delivered an
excellent and patriotic address, which was lis
tened to with much attention and highly ap-
pauded. VIM. +. Causey, Esq, and Hon. j.
K. Loiland also entertained thu audience with
short and interesting speeches, making the day
pass unexpectedly pleasant after our disap-
pointment d. q. Goodwin, ESD, also read the
immortal declaration, as we seldom hear it,
distinctly and with proper intonaton.
During the day boys were not idle pop
crack, wniz, saluted the ear at every step
Towards evening the bohoys were out in fam
tastic dress, which, by the way, raised the pa
trioism of the children and colored folks to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The days
proceedings proved to AS that the fourth of
July can be celebrated in spite of the weather.
The Day 10 PillidmspHie.-Ou friends in
the country do not stop for tribes, and hence
the celebration there came off according to
programme. The Sabbath School children,
with their parents, teachers and friends--which
included the people OF the whole ncighhorhood,
assembled i'll the woods in the rear of the
church, where spacious seats and Il stand had
been placed at ~ O'Clock in the morning. An
eloquent Grafton, suitable to the occasion, was
delivered by Mr.. J. Clark, after which the
whole company, to the number Of about 400,
dined in the woods. In the aitern DON address
SEES were delivered by Rev. q. Heacock and
others, which were interspersed with vocal
music by the children. The Children were
bountifully supplied with confectionares, and
seemed delighted with the entertainment OF
hn sNNsl ,I,.l. ha,,t
and the occasion will long be referred to with
pleasure. Penlasuiar NelCs.
Kent County Hems.-We condense the fol-
lowing items from the Times: A horse be-
longing to Nunos Coverdale, ran away in

OF large man was discovered on Thursday
week, about four feet feet below the surface OF
the ground, in a lot near Sharpe's mill, by
workmen who were engaged in digging earth
to ill up the streets. There was no evidence
of coffin, and how and when it was put there
is mystery.-A son of jonathan Emer-
son, aged some ten or twelve years. fell from
tree while at the pic mic, on Tuesday, and
broke his left arm. DR.. Culbreth reduced the
racture.--Some persons set fire to the
school house at Camden, on Saturday night

The Wheat Hdrrca.- During the past two
weeks, says the Reporter, the farmers have
been engaged in cutting their wheat. Inkent
county, the yield will be about one half what
an average season would produce. We can
hear OF no one instance where u full crop las
been raised. There are some who, long since,
have plowed their wheat in ard planted corn
others again who will not cut; some have cut
merely Tor the straw a large number who will
get back just what was sowed half the far
| mers in the county will make thre-fiiths of
crop; but none an extra yield. Complaints,
| however, are very fashionable and it is to be
| hoped that when the straw is cleaned all may
find themselves agreeaby disappointed.
agricultural Society of Ksat Co.-The next
! quarterly meeting ot the Society, says the Re
porter, will be held in Dover, on the lth day OF
August, that being the first Tuesday in the
month. Besides other important business to be
acte d upon, such as the adoption of Bye-LawS,
Nc, ii is expected that every member will at
tend, prepared TO report upon the condition OF
his wheat crop, the extent to which it has been
injured by the fly, the time Of sowing, the
condition OF the ground at the time of sowing,
the kind of fertilizers used. and such other
Items, as, by comparison one with another, it is
to be hoped Will lead to some discovery which
will in future, enable the farmer to protect his
crops against serious injury by the fly.
Hiitiam Ogden Niles, for many years so well
known as the Junior editor of g Niles Regis
ter" a periodical issued in Baltimore, whose
reliable character has made il valuable as a
| historical record, died ut the Girard House,
10 Philadelphia, oil Wednesday mt half past
one O'Clock. He went on TO Phil tdelphia from
Washington to attend the Yonderslnith case
in behalf Of the government and was taken
sick on Monday. He was attacked with paraly-
sis and apoplexy. At the time of his decease
he held an official post in one Of the executive
departments at Washington, the pension bur-
eau, we believe, on which the land frauds were
perpetrated in which Eondersmth was alleged
to be concerned.
Handsome Store.--The new book store OF
Cheeseman X Jones, No. l57 Market street, is
one Of the handsomrst in our city, being not
only conveniently Int taStcfulIv arrnnppd
Much credit is due to PaSsmore Mitchell, the
architect, for the manner in which he has exc
cutcd the carving and gliding, proving himself
to be well skilled in the art and fully cOmpe-
tent to adorn any place OF business or private
residence. The painting was executed by Car
Isle and Lansdale, and is also worthy OF COM
mendatlon. The book cases, which extend
along each side of the room are surrounded by
carved work, and under this is gilt stuc co
work which contrasts finally with the beautiful
white color of the wallsclscs and knobs, which
look like ivory or porcelain. We regard the
entire store alike creditable to its enterprIsing
proprietors and to the mechanics of our city.
