FROM MILTON.

for more than half the winter with
both head and heart disease, made
his appearance on the street last
week.
Levin Warren is still confined
to his room, some say from the
effect of q blow he received on the
head, some weeks ago, in an en-
counter he had on the street with
one McSipple, the town Marshal.
There were three deaths in
Milton during the month of JAN
uary last, two adults and one child,
which, according to the population
of the place, is less than the general
average of human mortality.
Present signs indicate more i'm
provement in Milton the coming
season, in the way of new buildings
and general business, than there
has been for many years.
Frank Bartell is opening a new
boot aud shoe store in the south
part of town. He purchased a
portion of his stock in your city.
He will also make to order.
Mac. Bower is going to remodel
his house en- south Cherry street,
now used for general purposes,
and convert it into dwelling.
Phil. Hoshour has made arrange
ments for erecting fine residence.
for himself, on the lot he recently
purchased of w. D. Jones, on
Main street. T.a.
Booth & Son will build nice
residence on North street. to be
completed by the first day of June
next. It is intimated by the know
ing ones, that one of the sons
intends leaving the parental roof
about that time.
VIM. A. Bragg is going to build
a residence. He says that a butch
er has as much right to live in a
good house as any body else, if he
pays for it, and William can GER
tainly do that. lssl
The Methodist have decided to
build a new church, the old one
being too small and badly located.
Rev. j. Miller, the pastor in charge,
and Alex Jones have been appoint
ed committee to purchase the
ground.
The bricks for the furniture fac
tory, have been purchased, and are
being hauled. The main building
is to be 80 feet long, by 40 wide,
and two stories hiegh. The firm
consists of I. L. Commons, D. S.
Lee, and J. III. Walker, men all in
the prime of life, with integrity,
energy, and capital.
G. G. Wilson has returned from
a second tour TO Kansas this win
ter. About the time he stai ted we
heard it said that if the rabbits,
quails, and fish, in this vicinity
knew of his departure, they would
feel safe, during his absence, from
gun and gig.
Last Saturday night, as a party
of young people were on their way
to attend revival meeting at East
Germantown, and while crossing
the river on the ice, it gave way,
and let one of the recent converts,
a young man, down some feet into
the water. 1t being dark he might
have thought that his sayings could
not be heard by those with him,
yet it is reported that while splash
ing around to get out he uttered
some words not becoming chris
tan. We will say to this young
friend and his associates not to be
discouraged at this fall from grace,
but buckle on the armor and try
again.
At the close of the Holidays the
Methodist, under the pastoral labors
of Revs Miller, and j. O.. Neal
began q protracted meeting at
their church. Shortly afterwards
the Friend Quakers, under the
Ministry of Douglas, Fulgham and
others, commenced one at their
meeting house, both being largely
attended day and night, and con
tinuing for several weeks. During
their progress, quite number who
professed to be old bearers of the
cross, declared their spiritual
strength greatly renewed, while
many young persons protested
conversion, and were taken unto
the ark of salty. On Thursday
evening next the Christian church
under charge of the Rev. Mr.. Gary,
begins series of meetings at the
Union Church.
To the above items, let me add
that during the late war for the
suppression of rebellion in the
Southern States, and while Gen.
Sheridan and his brave troops were
sweeping up and down the Shanan
doah Valley in deadly conflict with
Early's Confederate forces, deep
and loud complaints were made
against him by the rebels and their
sympathizers, for his impetous and
decisive way of dealing with his
enemies, and for his systematic
devastation of that fertile region of
supplies for the rebel army. Amid
there imprecations, he dashed for
ward.s and by his achievements
contributed largely toward Gen.
Grants subsequent overthrow of
