HORSES DYING.-The Mutual Friend of
Saturday last says! The present week has
been very destructive to horses in Milford and
vicinity The most of them are supposed to
have died from some disease. DR.. Mark G.
Lofand lost one of his beautiful black mares
one day this week. She fell on the road be-
tween this place and Denton, and died in ten
minutes Gen. Levi Harris lost one of his
matches this week. He died in the stable.
Mr.. David H. Holland lost fine young horse.
Purnel r. Griffith, near this place, lost two,
and we learn of a number of horses that died
in Milford and vicinity of the same disease.
1t proves fatal in almost every instance.

DISTRESS IN SUssEx.-The Sussex Journal
is urging stay law for Sussex county. 1t
says:
The continuous failure of crops in this coun-
ty has impoverished the people and demands
some relief for the depressed condition of the
farmers. Hundreds of honest hard working
men have labored for two years and have not
made enough to feed their families many have
been compelled to borrow money to prosecute
their work, and this year the prospects are
very little better. A stay of one or two years
would instil new life and energy into the peo
pie and give many worthy men an opportunity
to save their real estate-while if pressed al
this time they will be sold out and their prop
ertY sacrificed
