DOVER, DBL, May It'll. 1863.
Notwithstanding the adjournment Of the Ieg'
isaturc and the disappearance of our wise
Solons from the Capitol of the State Dover, at
this season of the year, is cheerful place of
visit for those who love to gaze upon the green
beauty of nature it untolds itself in the varied
colored tints Of blooming flowers budding vines,
aud the light cheerful green of the shade trees
and grass upon the square in the centre of the
town. The people Of this quaint old capital
with its old habits and customs, no doubt believ-
ing in the sentiment that mature when un-
adorned, is adorAed the most, have persistently
neglected to enclose this beautiful square with
fence or railing. No cheerful fountain throws
its dashing spray up amongst the lowering
branches Of the weeping willow, or goldfish play
amidst the falling showers of chrystal drops.
The children OF the rich and poor together with
domestic animals of all descriptions, alike enjoy
its cool refreshing shades. Yet with all the in
difference and neglect with which il is treated, it

| contrast to this pleasant picture Is seen about
tour five rods from the east end of this square
! where inside OF the board fence stands the old
| pump stock with its iron wristbands, to which

be seen. The crop promises an extra yield from
