Things in Milford.


Considerable excitement has been
aroused among the citizens of Milford
relative to the proper channel of a
small stream of water running through
that village. The Town Committee
of Surveyors, for the purpose of deter
mining through whose land, and on
which side of the road it should run,
placed a Surveyor upon the disputed
territory to settle the difficulty. The
Surveyor took the following courses
commencing at point in the road
near Conghlin's Hotel, and thence
along said road, by the Methodist
Church, N. 36 degrees and 40 minutes
E., to corner in the road leading from
Mt. Pleasant to Milford thence around
the square to the Quaquecommiscong
Greek, and N. % degrees 60 minutes
E., to bridge over the Misahocong
Greek at the junction of the road lead
ing from Little York; thence across
said creek to the saw mill, where the
Surveyor ceased his labors, having fail
ed to find the true line. Although the
Surveyor satisfied the citizens and land
holders with his endeavors to trace out
the proper course Of the road, they
were not satisfied with other matters
and held a meeting on the End inst,
when the committee called two Justices,
two Surveyors, two Lawyers, and one
Surveyor of the Highway. The citi-
zens of the village were much alarmed,
says orr correspondent, by seeing men,
in the dead of night, marching to and
fro, up and down the street, through
church yards, through grass plots, &C.,
armed with axes, spades, and other in
struments of "danage capacities, and
all this at the enpense of the township,
for the satisfaction of a few, and the
discovery of something capable of do
ing no one any injury. Our correspon
dent further adds, that all the lines and
courses are hidden in the same impena-
trsble darkness which enveloped them
prior to the affair, and advises the
Treasurer to hold on to the money now
in his possession, leaving the excited
individuals to pay for the New Years
turkey dinner, which will perchance
learn them to 'tl6ok before they leap"
and, "practice what they preach. {"
Another irrspressible conflict" is
raging in this village between the
Trustees of the Me: hodist Church and
some of the citizens. relative to the
fence in front of said church The
citizens claim the fence as an obstruc-
ton to locomotion in the Highway,
and the Trustees refuse to move it.
Legal proceedings are being entered
into by the-citizens, who are assisted
by the Overseer Of the Highway.
We have received a long commune
cation from some other unknown cor
respondent upon this subject, which
we reject as, being altogether too per-
eonal. We would be pleased to pub
fish any communication from the I'M
kuown,' provided it is free from per-
Sonalities.
