LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

His Talk with Clerk of the Peace

The Times Peach Correspondent Explains
His Talk with Clerk of the Peace
Cochran.
Especial correspondence of the Gazette.l
New York, May S.-Nothing could please
me better than the improvement made in the
GAZETTE. 1t is an old friend; the first news
paper of which have any recollection, and
for more than go years regular visitor to
my fathers house. think 1t is now about
the best of the very few really good one
cent papers published in this country.
see by the Saturday issue that your
estimable Clerk of the Peace expresses sur
prise at having been interviewed by a news
paper correspondent. He should know that
did newspaper correspondents make a habit
of introducing themselves to the public as
news gatherers they would get but very
little really valuable information. The
successful news gatherer must be like the
successful quail shooter, quietly take his
game on the wing.
The attributing of the great crop to 1858
instead of TO 1874 was one of those careless
mistakes which writers sometimes make
without being able to assign any good reason
for making them, and the attributing of the
Times letter to Dover instead of Middletown
was the GAzETTE's mistake, and the pres
ence of Mr.. Cochran at Middletown, and on
the second train up on Saturday, April 90,
was his pleasure, and the information about
the 80 car loads per day being shipped by
the Cochran family did not come from the
Couaty Clerk. He is too modest to speak
of such matters, but twas an estimate made
by one whose means Of acquiring the in
formation is such that he scarcely ever
makes mistake In such matters, and who
vet thinks he was rather under than over
the mark. CoRKEsPoNDENT.

Milford has been quite lively In the way
of serenades, All our bands have been out
TO welcome II. ii. Prettyman and lady, and
this was all very nice until the old style
calithumpian was initiated the other night.
Mr.. Prettyman was not In favor of that kind
of music and he made charge on the sere-
naders from his bedroom window with a
revolver and caused the band to retreat in
bad order.
W. A. Scribener is now having the old

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.l
GEORGETOWN, May Son Wednesday,
at the Almshouse, the County Trustees OF
the Poor will investigate Overseer JnO, Stock
ley's alleged acknowledgement of his office.
Mr.. Stockley may have been derelict in some
respects-the investigation ought to tell-but
he has most certainly brought the almshouse
farm to higher degree of cultivation than
any of his predecessors, which Is point in
his favor.
Lawn tennis is GeorgetOwn's latest agony.
The club has been formed, and the suits
which have been ordered are anxiOusly
awaited. The leading spirit of the enter
prise, a rising young journalist, swears by
all that is holy that the thing shall be sue
cess. The club is composed of the towns
elite.
Hallett, the Milford murderer, seems to
bear his confinement with great equanimity
and disposes of his daily rations with the
gusto of the freeest man on earth. Many
hereabouts predict that when the trial comes
up the most important factor-Halett him
self-will be missing. That is to say he will
break jail.
A good deal OF fun has been poked at
the Georgetown Methodists because of then
being SO hard to suit In a minister. Well,
they are hard TO suit-in one sense. They
want u minister Christian, and one who
knows how to interpret Christian precepts
Rev. p. II. Rawlins, recently assigned to
this charge, fills the bill exactly; and
| Georgetown Methodists, who comprise some
of the best people of the town, are vastly
pleased with him.

Done and Intends Doing.
The West Chester Record contains the fol-
lowing of interest 10 the residents of this
city:
The Wilmington & Northern Railroad
Company is busy at work making improve
ments all along its line, not forgetting its
rolling stock and other appointments to
increase the comfort and convenience of
travellers and shippers. Last week two brand
new passenger cars were received from Will
mington builders and will be put on the
main through trains this week. All of the
old passenger ears have recently been re-
painted, reupholstered and thoroughly
repaired throughout, the trains supplied
with air brakes, the conductors and brake
men uniformed alike, etc. Its locomotives
and freight ears have been increased In num-
bers, steal rails laid over much of the road and
in fact 80 many improvements recently intro
duced that the traveller could scarely recog-
nize 1t as the same road Of year or two ago.
"A new time liable will also go into effect TO-
ward the latter part of the present month,
when Sunday trains will also again be
placed on the road. These will be run on
somewhat different plan and schedule from
those of last summer. The train north from
Wilmington In the morning will run through
to Springfield to connect with trains on the
Falls of French Greek branch and for Read
Ing. They win leave the same point in the
afternoon for Wilmington. A change is also
to be made at Reading, where the present

streets, will be abandoned, a new station es-
tablished at Front and Penn streets, and
from thence the trains run through 10 the
Union depot of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company in the northern part
of the city. This will prove great accom-
mediation TO passengers desiring to travel
on either of the branches of the Reading sys-
tenn, or from them to the w. " N.
