MIDDLETowN, Del, Nov. %.
A ride down on the Della ware trai
Yesterday morning, leaving Wilmington
at9.l5 o'clock disclosed the fact very
fnrcibly that the State of Delaware and
the Eastern Sbbre of Maryland or as 1t
~ more FAM liarly known the Peninsula,
is the favurite resort for sportsmen, that
is sportsmen who are in quest of part
ridges, and rabbits, or as the gunners
call them "cotton tails" During the
ride down, | was NEST of the time in
the baggage car, as 1t recalled old and
pleasant recoilectioDs, and IN the car
were no less than twenty dogs, all of
which had an intelligent look, and SEEM
ed TO know what duty was in store TOR
them, while in the smoking car were at
least twenty mere Of the intellectual ca
Zines. A uesnltory conversation with
some of the gunners disclosed the fact
that in the love- portion of the State,
and OF the Eastern Shore was The best
place for cunning.
In this vicinity game OF all kinLs is
very scarce and The residents OF this
town who have the time and means go
further down.
MiddletowD, which is ono of the old.
EST towns on the Peninsula, and 1t is
claimed by some of The residents here
hat 1t was founded before the city Of
Philadelphia, is very quiet at the pres
rnt time. There may have been Tune,
but | think il is not within the recollec-
tion of any of the present inhabitants
when it might have presented a scene of
hustle and activity, but now alas IL
serms to have settled down into a rut
l,n,
cules to remove it from. The citizens
perform the same duties day after day
with faithfulness and percision that is
TO be admired. there is no need OF the
strong arm of the law 10 stretch forth
here AS no one thinks of disobeyIng one
I0ta Of the admontions laid down in
nnr statute books. What u contrast to
Wilmington!
There are no building ngimprovements 60
ing on here at the present time, with The
exception of a new steepe being added
t. the M. f. church. Workmen are now
engaged in stating it. The church is in
ly of the Union NJ. e. church, Whining
ton. The surrounding country presents
The usual winter appearance. Nothing
green is to be seen but the coming crops
of wheat.
The farmers are busily engaged in
husking their corn, and IN the course OF
week they will begin to ship 1t to mar
ket. The shipments from this place
promise to be larger than for years past
and probably the largesr ever made from
this point. 1t seems that during the
present season the farmers have paid
more attention to the raising OF corn than
ever before. 1t Is a fact that they have
become in a degree disguised with rails
ing peaches, and have determined to pay
more attention to that which will pay
them better. A walk yesterday after
noon within radius of five miles of this
place disclosed the fact that hundreds of
reach trees were being cut down, and
will be used for firewOod during the
coming winter, while the brush is being
burned in the fields. and The ground put
in n condition to he utilized for crops
next wear. Thus mote 10 be.
