northern part of the town was blaz-
ing. 1t was soon discovered to be
an old stable, part of the w. n. w.
Dorsey estate, located near the cen
tire of the most compactly built
square in Milford. The heavy rain
had soaked the roofs of the sur
rounding buildings, and to this alone
was due the saving ofa large confla-
grafton. No buckets, axes or lad
ders were available. A new carriage
owned by VIM. Powders was con-
sumed by the fire.
At 4 o'clock A. NJ, as Mr.. Geo.

LAST Sunday morning a report was
current in Milford that seven BOhe-
mians, who work i'm ShOenbeTg & Cos
factory, were afflicted with the small
box. The report was industriOusly
circulated by those of our town people
who were prejudiced against the for
eigners, because they worked for less
wages than was paid last season. The
cause for the report was only COM
mon rash in a small child, which was
under the care OF DR.. VIM. Marshall,
Sec'ty of the State Board of Health.

THE Presbyterian Church of Dover
has been without a pastor since the
death of Mr.. Huntington and several
ministers have preached for them dur
ing the interim. Last Thursday week
the congregation held a meeting to de-
eide who they should call. A vote
was taken, when the great majority of
the members showed their preference
for Rev. John F Stonecipher. This was
ratified by the church as body and he
has been called. He is from EastOn,
Pa, and was formerly pastor of n
church at Mercer, Pa. He comes to
the church highly recommended both
as a man and pastor; and as he has
filled the pulpit several times, the con-
already feel acquainted with
him.

IN is a rare occurrence when Night
Blooming Cereus plant blooms three
buds in one night. This happened to
a plant owned by Mrs. Richard Smith
on Sunday night last. The sight was
beautiful to look upon. The bud in
labor, thrusting out first one petal and
opening its sheath of green until it
burst forth in all its maguificence is
sight that if once witnessed, will never
be forgotten.

COLD figures make the totals of

the following statement can be proven
by the shipping accounts off. Geilin-

of Milford, has made and shipped this
season, 1925 gallons of ice cream, and
has sold 800 gallons more to our local
trade. All the cream was produced at
the dairies of J. J. Rosa, Chas. Barker
and J. Watts Belts and the amount
paid out for this article amounts to
more than 5000. This result is evidence
enough that our Milford manufactury
is far in the lead of all of its competit-
Ors on the peninsula. Mr.. G. will en-
large his capacity for making ice cream
for another season. He believes in
pushing his business and intends to
double this result in 1884

NOT ASHAMED or THE RECORD

The XLVIIth Congress was not remarkable
for the number Of great men it included, or for
the pre-emineDt ability of few of its indIvid-
ual members. II was-if we may be permitted
to continue the same candor toward 1t now that
il is dead that we exercised during its existence
"A very commonplace body of men. Ii started
on badly and through it's first session it fulfilled
the promise Of its unhappy beginning In sew
eral ways. No need now to PAL ticularize: that
it's first session was anything but asuccess was
sufficiently shown in the results of last Novem-
ber's elections, tor which Congress was in
large degree, though not wholly, responsible.
The Republican majority has, moreover,
frankly confessed Judgment and done what it
could 10 make atODement for its mistakes dur
ing the short session just ended. 1t was not a
great Congress except In this sense that it had
the true greatness and manlineSs to confess It's
mistakes, recognize its responsibility to the
people, and in the end endeavOr TO do what the
people evidently desired. 1t was Republican
Congress, and the Republican party not only
shoulders the responsibility OF 1t, but with all
ITS faults willingly and cheerfully goes to the
people on its record, without even waiting for
ITS successor to como in and give it the advan-
tage of a foil.
For this Congress has fairly represented the
Republican party-represonted it in the human
frallties and weaknesses which grow inevitably
out of the possession of power; represented 1t
still more faithfully in its to the people
ana its quick and hearty response to public
sentiment. Whatever else may be said of it,
this at least is tre, that no other Congress ever
gave such satisfactory proof that 1t stood as
representative bodies in popular government
ought always to stand-witl its hand on the
public pulse. SO without being remarkable for

while the board is constituted as IL Is az
present. The tone of the report is most con-
servative and cautious. 1t seems to breathe
throughout a spirit similar to that OF Dr.
Dixs Lenten lectures. Though the pettion
is spoken of as remarkable for the emnence
and responsibility of the signers, there is a
sarcastic reference to the diversity when Is
"known to exist in their views on the educa-
" ton of women, and the variety and compare
" tive amount of their information on the sun
eject of Pedagogics' But the signers OF the
petition can feel that they have gained an I'M
portant step. If women continue to Dc ex-
cluded from the class-rooms of the college,
at least they are sure to make good use OF
the advantages of the special course OF study
and the special examinations. And IN time

the commanding ability of a few leaders or Tor
it's general average, it may at least Do credi'ea
with Iepre senting upon the whole the genera
spirit and purpose of the party in control. ANA
in this particular it has exhibited in the most
striking and significant manner the contrast
between the two great parties: between the
party of progress, the prrty of Ideas the parry
of the people, and the party of obstruction, Oh
negations, of blind, wilful Bourbonlsm' Inc
contrast between its first and second sessions Is
the contrast between the parties. One party Is
susceptible to correction and discipline; 'ho
other stubbornly ciDgs to its errors and bases
its only claim for consistency upon an unreas-
oning defence of its bluuders.
The fundamental difference between the two
parties was well illustrated in the course taken
by each on the Tariff question. No thinking pol
itcian at the beginning of the last SESSION.
doubted that, If the Republicans in Congress
desired merely to gain q strategical advantage
over their opponents, their best policy was
| while making an apparently earnest effort 10
pass Tariff bill, to permit the Democrats TO
defeat il and to leave for the incoming DEM
ocratic Congress legacy of dissenson ana dls-
cord. Nothing could he palmer than that
ocratic Congress would fall asunder at the
very outset. But the Republican leaders took a
very much higher view than this. They said
that the business interests of the country de-
manded an early settlement of this question
and the people could only look to Republican
Congress for it, SO instead Of leaving 1t as Il
stumblng-bloc for their opponents, with the
certainty that the latter would bunder over 1t
| to their own defeat, they took The matter up I'D
an honest busness-lil1e way, and over the tao
tious opposition of the minority carried 1t
through to q successful conclusion. The result
of course is to remove from the path oil the
next Democratic Congress one great danger
BY 80 much the Democrats are helped But 1t
still remains to he seen whether the people VIII
not after all recognize the manly and straight
forward treatment OF the question by the Re
pullcans and restore them their confidence.
The XLVlIth Congress, with all its mistakes
showed itself in the end worthy OF the conf
dencc of the people. 1t was a Republican Con-
gress, and the Republican party will not SHRINK
from going to the people on It's record.

and behave extremely well. They are given good
plain education. and as they are 6t for it
they are to be apprenticed tradesmen on the es-
