sviable reputation, second, perha
70 none in the State. Our Board Of EdiA
cation has been jealous and progressive,
too, but the credit Of bringing the school
up to its present high standard is very
largely due to the faithful and indefa-
tigable efforts of Professor Wright and
his good lady.
An attempt was made to enter the
post office by way of cellar door in the
rear, on Tuesday night. The thieves were
probably frightened away just when they
had almost succeeded in effecting an open
ing into the cellar, from which they would
have had clear road to the room above.
Several chisels and other tools were taken
from Mr.. Howell's carriage shop the same
night, and it is safe to presume that they
were carried offfor the purpose of effecting
an entrancet to the post office. AS burglars
seem to infest Middletown at present,
everybody should be prepared to receive
them and make things lively for them
when they call.
- The Milford NeiOs confesses that in
Milford they make ice cream out OF
everything that is nasty, and then white
wash it, But they don't eat it them
selves. They give it to "the stranger that
is within their gates" They eat the gilt
edged article themselves. So the NeUs
says, and we presume that the Nea0s tells
the truth semi-once-in-a-while We are
sorry to think this of Milford, for we have
heretofore thought she was an hospitable
town. Now, in Middletown, we always
give our visitors the gilt-edged article Of
ice-cream, warranted to make man hap
pier, so that he will want to come back
again and eat some more. That's just the
kind of town we have up here, and we
are sorry the NeWs cannot speak 50 well
of Milford.

and report having had very enjoyable
trip on the bay and good entertainment
for the Dinner man." Others went on
the Tolchester and Baltimore excursion
per steamer "Trumpeter,'' from George
town, Nd, and were well pleased. 1t
was a very large excursion, the boat
being unable to carry all that desired to
go from some of the lower landings. There
was an immense crowd at Colchester, but
the "Trumpeter'' excursionists got on the
ground early and Jared sumptuously. We
hear Of one Middletown young man who
ate three spring chickens, and accompani-
ments in proportion, and he remarked
that he felt almost as well after his little
lunch as though he had had his dinner.
Port Penn, Collins Beach and Woodland
Beach were patronized, too, by our people,
and those whom we have interviewed say
they had pleasurable time, and were
nicely entertained. During the afternoon
several wagon loads of townfolks went
down to Silver Lake, Mr.. J. B. Fenimore's
popular resort, and enjoyed themselves
in rowing, sailing, bathing and fishing
with hook and line. So far as heard from,
johnson, the hardware man, caught the
most fish. In the evening the town was
quite lively, the streets being thronged
until late hour. The display Of fire
works was an attractive feature, many
large and beautiful rockets being sent up
during the evening. The snap OF the fire
cracker and toy pistol was of course inces-
SAINT from morning till bedtime, and it
was doubtless a short day to the little
folks. The ice cream saloons did good
business. Good order prevailed through
