LATEST FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

NEw YORK. March 1883.
Every one is now talking about the fashion,
Tor the coming season, although, even in Pan
the Spring styles are not definitely settled.
Lace irills and ruches, black, white and ecru
will be much worn. The new iraises and ruehsi

| Many of the earlier novelties in Spring bonnels
| htge .he most OF the trimming placed upon the
crowns, some OF which are completely covered
with hny loops Of satin ribbon; Others have the
brm covered with fiat rufiis Of cream lace, and
the soft crown Of dark velvet. Other new bon
nets trimmed with upright iris of gathered laees
hows Of ribbon with iorked ends and many small
flowers look very aspiring and defiant.
The lavorite Paris bonnet is the very clos.
capolc. Black lace bonnets covered with many
frs Of black lace will be much worn. The new
color in the way Of Easter bounets is a mixture
Of red, orange and amber shades for ribbons,
and tufts. A shaded straw Of crushed currant
and strawberry is a novelty displayed by mln.
ers.
There is a great amount OF fancy jewelry worn
just now. aud some Is very pretty. short

much weight Of gold to one diamond as he could
MANAGE now he is to see how many stones he
can set on an inftesimal amount Of the precious
metal. Cat head and cat paw ornaments are
high in favor.
The new wraps, pelerineS, scari1 dolmanl and

tact are necessary in combining the two fabrics.
Black gros grain silk is now as popular as ever.
Many OF the newly imported costames are made
entirely Of it. Others are garnished with jet az
plique bands and ornaments in new and beautiful
designs but the msiority Of them are half brOche

II HARRINGTON.-A negro riot tOOb
place in this town on Friday, March
r 10th and several eOlered men were ser
iOusly injured. The row commenced
between a number ofcOlored men from
= Milford, who were disOrorderly
and the blacks of Harrington. On
that night the Harrington cOlored
schools gave an exhibition at the clos
Il ing of the winter term, and about a
dozen of the Milford negroes drove out
there to enjoy the merriment.
AS usual Elias Purnell, the row
| breeder of Milford, was present, and
as a natural sequence, it was not long
before a first-elass fight was inaugu-
rated. While there was a lull in the
row, Noah Farmer, stout colored
man Of Milford, said he could whip
any eight men present Before Noah
had time to reconsider his motion, a
base ball bat placed him "hOrs de COM
bat" Pistols, TazOrs and clubs made
things lively. Ben May, a colored
waiter at Coles hotel, was shot
through each hand aud had one eye
badly injured. All Of the glass in a
small house adjoining the building
where the entertainment was held
was smashed. A carriage shot full of
holes and a general stampede of dark
les from the town resulted. There
were no arrests made as the constable
has resigned and the town bailif ran
away from his home and family some
time back.
f. Fleming now has a monopoly Of |
the wheel-wright business Of Harring- |
ton, as he has recently purchased the
only opposition establishment in the
town. They generally sell out and
then 90 to work for him.
Building has commenced early this
season, and the prospect is good for a
very prosperous year.
All Of the spoke factories are run
ming on full time on orders from Cali
fornia and Brazil.
Our town council has either been lost,
5trayed or stolen. 1t was duly elected
Two weeks ago, but it has never organ

holder to pave in front of his proper ,,

JUST why the legislature should not
allow that town Dover to tax herself
more, is one of those things no man
can find out; but probably they re-

aceQs - we accept the theory as cor

Young man arrived on the train last
week, and made his way to Queen
street where he astOnished the resi-
dents By the liberal offers he made
them. His business card bore the
name of VIM. Roe, tea dealer, 395
Chestnut St., Philadelphia. He was
glib of tongue and off, red tea to his un-
suspeeting victims at 80 cents per pack
age, while with every package, he gave
one piece of furniture worth at least $40
The more tea they bought the more
furniture they received.
They bought every package OF tea
the polite stranger had, and he left on
the 4O6 train for a new field and fresh
victims; but before he went he made
arrangements with Mr.. ]. s. Goodwin
to meet the evening train and deliver
the following goods to his inspecting
victims, many of whom were at the
depot waiting with palpitating hearts
the arrival of the furniture. The train
arrived on time, but the furniture has
not been heard of as yet, and the vic
tins have come to the conclusion that
they were swiBdled out of their money.
About year ago some of the same
parties were caught by "a fellow who
worked the same territory with q POI
tato bug destroyer, which he sold for
% cents per package. He was around
lust before the plants were up, aud di-
rected the package not to be broken
until ready for use when he would
be far away.) One purchaser could
not rest, but broke his open, when he
discovered the sell-two blocks of
wood labled death to later bugs" OF
course the bugs had TO be caught be-
fore they could be killed.

SCHOOL ELECTION is only two weeks
off from to morrow, and all persons
who have an interest in the education
of the young should attend. The tax
es are not heavy for this purpose in
Milford, while in some of the country
districts they are inadequate to sustain
a good school even four months in the
year. Money wisely spent on children
for education is money put out at conf
pound interest. II should be the aim
of the school commissioners, to get
teachers Of good moral standing, sober
ami energetic, and who will by their
fided to their charge, to be gentlemen
and ladies.

IT is reported that several of the col
lectOrs appointed by the Kent County
Levy Court can not give bond. One
has failed to secure any and has Telin-
qushed the place. 1t has been a fact
for several years past, that every man
who has had the Office has come out
worse off than when he went in, so
it is next to impossible to get good
men to have the Office. This system
of collecting the taxes is well known
TO be faulty, and the CHRONICLE will
gladly welcome the day when the laws
on this subject are changed.

This consolidation has been difficult and
delicate matter to arrange, and it has been
impossible, of course, to harmonize all inter-
ests; but in general terms the reduction of
the number of districts and the consequent
reduction in the number of officers will
prove to he popular measure with the peo-
pie. We believe that Congress would have
done wisely had itadopted President Arthur's
suggestion, and abolished the entire internal
revenue system, leaving to bureau of the
Treasury the work of collecting the tax on
spirits and tobacco which will, doubtless,
prove to be permanent feature of the fiscal
system. The consolidation is in this direc-
ton, and for that reason will prove accepta-
BILE to the public; the further step will come
at no very distant day.
