For the Palladium.
FROM HILTON.
There is not . house or room to I
rent in Milton. All are full, and /
more are wanted, which is arousing |
some spirit among those who possess
the means to build new houses. Sew
eral have been built, and others are
in the course Of erection, and the pros
pect for next season is better still.
The Wooden Mill Company have
just received and are now opening
large stock Of dry goods for the new
store being established, in the corner
of the building formerly known as the
Bank Building. Its new purchases
are over $lO,O 900, and bids fair to make
competitioaamoag our dry goods mer-
chants interesting.
The foundery and wood work shops
of the Hoosier Drill Factory have
suspended work for a short time, that
the officers and agents may have an
opportunity to settle up the business
of the past year, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars, prepare
tory to beginning the new one on
a more extended scale. The main
building is to be greatly enlarged, and
a new two story paint shop erected,
south of but adjacent to the main
building, one hundred feet long by
thirty-six wide. The additions now
in contemplation to be made by the
company the present and coming sea !
son, Will place it among the foremost
manufacturing establishments Of the
United States, aud enable it to SEND
its products to all parts of the country :
1t is rumored on the streets that a
certain young gent of this place went
to Richmond, on Monday last, and in
| t7fviewedI the County CLERK On the
subject Of matrimony. The Clerk :
after hearing his petition, and exam
lining some witnesses as to his coihpe-
tency to take the hazardous leap.
finally granted him written PERM
to get and keep his favorite Arm !
strong, some night this week, It is
said he now eulogises clerks, but it is
limited by some that after while he
will pronounce them a set of humbugs-
How is it, Wesley.
A number of our youths have, oh
special invitation. been visiting tie
Grand Jury, at its headquarters in the
lneWs Court House Of your city. lThes
report It finely situated, the member
enjoying good health, and that the !.
were received warmly; but some con ,
plain that these guardians of the pu' >
lie good catechise their i.4tors, abo, ]
little affairs, too closely to be alwa y
agreeable.
Two of our prominent fishing spo IT
have become alarmed about los in
their health, owing to the colds wb ic
they take from falling off of logs an
other places into the water, so Ere
quently, while waiting for fish to ! ,it
the treacherous bait. They attel NJ
to account for their repeated ducki nj
by saying that they get SO excited i,
the sight of . big bass swimming al or
land refusing to fasten on their hook
that they drop their fishing rods an
, plunge in after the retreating isl
, But it is intimated by others i;h'
these frequent dimensions result Fl o
imbibing too much of certain / in
of medicine that some fishermen "a
ry along with them to keep out Il
dalnps. To prevent further injur.1
, their health by these mishaps, ess
one has had made to order i pair
waterproof gum boots that no: OF,
cover the feet and legs, but come |
4 around the body. inclosing the ar I
and fastening closely aroulsd &
: shoulders, thus protecting the eI tt
. body, except the head and neck f c
the effects of sudden baths. C.otly
: in these CARDS, they present u trr
, novel and ludicrous spectacle, and
: party of friends are ready to soco2
: pany them on their first fishing exp
dition, as the boots will afford nu pr
:, lection against falling in, when, if
deep water they, without the sp &c,
assistance of friends, will sure
s. drown, Charley, you and Mart b
IS better leave those gum boots at he Z
e when you go fishing. INDEX
