Neutrality-suspicious. PROSPECTS.
MUTTON, Sussex county, june Sth.-lt gives
pleasure to report items from ones native place,
and have them travcrsing every mail route far
and near Such action gives notoficty to places
hitherto little known. But the greatest amount
81 practical advantage derived Is the rendering
more popular that news sheet in whose columns
Is found such reading matter. 1t is this which is
giving to your tribune circulation go extern
svc. Your readers expect to find in every issue
long array Of interesting local intelligence from
all sections, in addition to satisfying portion of
general news matter Never may the inimitablc
TRIBUNE become less earnest In Its zeal.
Times are moic cheerful now In and around
our town, and the natural sequence is, we feel
more cheerful. 1t is true,wt now conclude, fruit
will be very scarce, but VIC can wish for no wealth
er more conducive TO tho growth of our crops
thnn Providence is now granting. little more
of such weather will insure us q crop of wheat
and oats which will make our farmers smile with
feelings of intcnsest satisfaction. Our corn Is
almost jumping, it grows so rapidly grass is
also luxurinnt.
Fishing is quite business now In the lower
counties Of our State. Indeed, it has become so
complete mania in Sussex that some of our less
scrupulous citizens, we regret to say, take advan-
tBe VI the ouuDhtili luOt W huy vi tne INV hiouJ
TO mend their nets, repair their boats and make
other necessary preparations to commence
operations on the earliest conceivable
approaches of weekday. 1t is really
laughsble to see such creeping along Wishing
to avoid detection, laden with provisions, nets,
oars and other requisites of the fisherman, eager
| to reach the river, and security. For most GER
| tainly the river affords to such embodiments Of
vice and wretehedness oil the security desirable.
We would not dare to enforce law so innocently
| ignored Not we. The object of the fisherman a
| toll is the trout very excellent member OF the
| fnny tribes found In the greatest numbers now.
| We have tribe of Gypsies now in our vicinity,
| the same worthless that did so Furnishing busl-
| ness in and around Milford, few weeks ago
| Their traffic don't seem TO be very remunerative
| here They would do better, presume, to re-
| trace their steps, and we would not be insulled
In the least. They are a nuisance that our legis
| lators would do well to remember In their enact
ments.
Since the balmy sunshine has so enivcned veg
citation and insprited men, determination u
| improve the appearance Of our streets has beer
/ developed. Old trees on ulir sidewalks have beef
| uprooted, our streets leveled, and all made tt
assume more inviting aspect. Also DISPOSE
ton for building is manifest. On Federal street
South Milton, n very commodious frame dwelling
and store, both under the same roof, are being
completed; while Others in various sections O
town are soon to be commenced.
| Business is receiving a new impulse. Most o
our mercantile men have laid in their stock o
goods, which they are selling out as rapidly ~
| they can reasonably expect. Money is scarce
| which makes fewer purchasers. ANON.
