sell excursion tickets at all the stations
on their lines to Milford and return on

ably not exceeding $1.00 from any sta
ton for the round trip while it will be

ROAD Manufactures are a few
principles to be observed i? making or
mending roads that ought 10 be burned
into the brains of overseers. First, keep
water from standing on them. Second.
mend clay roads with sand and sandy
roads with clay. The first may be effect
ually carried out by drainage and MAX
ing and keeping the road bed oval. Scoop
out the sides but never make ditch
along the road side. They are exceed
ingly dangerous and the oyerseer that
allows ditch along the road ought to he
punished. 1t will pay in the long run to
haul clay for sandy roads a considerable
distance, and also to haul sand or loan
for clay roads.
THE PEACH GRowERs' MEETING
Inc nnal meeting of the peach growers
at Middletown on Friday last was quite
a stormy one, and general dissatisfac-
lion with the new terms offered by the
Delaware Railroad Company was freely
expressed. The terms offered were not
agreed to, and this leaves the whole sub.
Ject open and the plans of the transpor-
tatlon companies will no doubt be ST.
lently and sullenly acquesced in, because
the fruit growers cannot help themselves :,
No combination seems to be possible
among them. In all the negotiations
and discussions, Mr. Biggs, the Chair
man OF the Committee to confer with the
railroad authorities, has been accused of
panderlng for personal considerations,
to Mr.. Hinckley's passion for the Della
ware Railroad.
