Now that the fact has been demon.
strated, that the growth ofMilford has
cen retarded in tho past by the real
e owners, this class of men are
nov laking ample restitution, by
opening up building lots on all sides
of the town; but the main credit for
this revolution in fOsilized ideas, is
due to the young men. Recently Mr.
VIM. Watson and others came into
control of lot of land in South Mil
ford which was Immediately put on
the market as building lots. They
went like hot cakes on u cold morning,
and it is trite saying in that part of
the town, that new house is built
every night, Mr.. Frank Richards
saw that he had a bonanza in town
lots in North Milford, so he opened up
several pasture lots for building pur-
poses, and now has sixty-five of the
most desirable lots in the town. They
are in locality that has been clamored
for, for years, for building sites. He
has already sold eight of them and
they will be built upon this Con .
ing Summer. A new street must soon
be opened along the town limits from
Simpsons phosphate factory to the
State road leading to Frederica. It
will run in straight line aud will
make perceptahle difference in dis
tance to heavy laden wagons from Mil
ford Neck that have to pass through |
the centre of the town now.

This is the story of the Washingto
woman in whose house I live:
Il was married at nineteen, havin
been home from school but few month:
where I had absorbed a rather dilute
course Of education. A smatterinQ {
music, I had no love for it; an extray
agant devotion to embroidery, and som
skill IN that overdone art; rather clea
idea of French. These I could on reAeo
ton recognize as the potent elements il
my libation from the babbling stream q
knowledge.
81 had never been in society and ha,
but few gentlemen friends. and wheI
Tom came-my husband you know
was in love as quickly as he. We wep
married soon after our first acquaintance
My parents died within a few years d
each other-my father overwhelmed bl
one of those business crashes, which d
late years occur so frequently, the SUI
prise of the moment dies before th
deeper interest of society has bee
moved. For several years after ol
marriage Tom was secretary in a man
factory of iron works. We boarded, Z
cause we could not afford home.
We knew little of economy.
those earlier years money came easy Al
went with the passing enjoyment an
needs. Tom used to say No use

friends Of Rev. H. l.. Bunstein gave

many years. AT the close of his speach
he presented the substantial part of
the donation in the shape of a purse

ESQ. PITMAN's CoURT.-Lias Pur-

These cases have in reality no right
to be heard before any magistrate but
the Alderman. The act making this
office makes it obligatory for him to
hear all town cases, and no other
magistrate can recover his fees from
the town. The justices of the peace
should bear this in mind, as the COM
miSsiOners will not allow them.

Book NOTICEs.-The March Century
has a biographical sketch of the late
DIR. Leonard Bacon, by his son,
Leonard Woolsey Bacon, of Norwich,
Conn, in which DR., BaoOn's position
in opposition to the Boston extremists
in the anti-slavery agitation is defeh-
ded. On this, as on every other public
question of his generation, Dr. Bacon
was good fighter, and the paper is
appropriately entitled, "a Good Fight
Finished" An excellent portrait ac-
companies the paper. Other equally
good papers appear in the same num-
Der, among them Mrs. Runkle's plea
for the higher education of women.

would sustain the statement that healthy women

for years without mourning any visible faint Of

what are the views Of Dr. Fitch about segrega-
ton. II the policy Of -,4i-- ton has been adj
hered to, then DR.. Fitch l. consistent. If you
find that lie has discharged patients that are not
cured, it would be q violation OF his policy Of
segregation.
If you find that the terms quack, ETC., are in
tended 10 apply to and characterize DR.. Fitch III
this country, you must decide whether or not the
allegations are true. If you find that he possesses
n general lack Of medical knowledge, as shown
in his analysis Of urine and his general prac-
tice at the dispeu5ary, you viii then decide that
the publication was made with a justihablc end.
It was not strictly rebuttaI to bring il lepers
who were not cured, but in an aIncliOrated condi-
ton, though I allowed It. The physicians for
the defense have said that ieprasy IS capable Of
great amelioration by proper treatment, better
diet and improved hygieuic conditions generally.
This was not strictly 81 rebuttai. In medical
matters there is no absolute method Of proving
what Is true. The tendency in bringing in those
was 20 show that they were not
cured, but were on tho road 10 cure. Or the
other hand you have testimony that the disease
IS incurabIe. Yoh are not TO find that DIR. Fitch

has resulted in more injury than good. 1 do not
want 70 prejudite You in any way. The law is
very clear on ahe subject. There Is no censor
ship OF the prfss here. Aman may publish any
thing he chooses. Publishers know that they
are liable for what they publish. If the article
S true, although defamltory, it is justifable.
