FARSIERs in the vicinity of Church
Hill have offered to contribute labor,
cash and material, to change the short
piece of road at that point from its
present heavy sandy conditional that
of hard clay road but the Levy Court
will not permit them to do so. Why
not deponent sayeth not.
Town COUNCIL has passed an or
dinance forbiding street parades with
music, banners, etc, after dark, un-
less the parties have special permit.
This much needed restriction was sug-
gested by the CHRONICLE last week,
for the protection Of those who had to
be on the street with horses.
SOME towns reserve their sidewalks
for the use Of pedestrians; in Elkton
a butcher was fined 81 and costs. for
wheeling an empty wheelbarrow Oh
the pavement. He ought to come
to Milford where lie could not only
run his barrow on the sidewalk, but
keep it there when not in use.
THE following letters remain I'M
called for in the Milford postoffiee;
Mr.. Joseph Covington, Mr.. James
HOusend Mrs. Leyda, Miss e. L.Mory,
Mr.. George Maeklin, Mr.. Andrew

IMPEcUNIOUs De1awareans can no
longer slip up to Chester or Philadel-
phia to enter the matrimonial state
and thereby save three dollars. The
legislature of Pennsylvania has passed
law compelling those contemplating
marriage to take out a license, and the
expense is about the same as in Della
ware.
THE engine Champion, which has
been repaired and changed into coal
burner at the D., NJ. and V. Railroad
car shops in Georgetown, made her
trial trip on Monday. Another engine
will go into the shops to be changed
next week, and this work will be con-
tinued until all the engines are coal
burners.
TIE Bethel NJ. e. Church, Of
Smyrna circuit, held its chil6ren's day
service last Sunday. it having been
postponed on account Of tile absence
of the minister. The attendance was
so large that there was not standing
room in the building. The exercises
were of the usual order for such Oeca-
sions and were conducted in a very i'm
pressive manner.
TIE school at Denney's Corner was
closed last week, and on Saturday the
pupils, parents and friends Of the school
met in the grove near the school house
and had a pleasant picnic. There was
liberal supply Of good things, and
good humor and fan made the day pass
merrily. Late in the afternoon the
party adjourned, tired but happy, car
rying with them many pleasant MEM
cries of The day.
MIR. JAMES HALL has just finished
on the lot back of his handsome lesi-
dence on Front street, North, one of
the most complete barns in town. In
addition to its other cOnveniences, it
has OH the roof an iron turbine wind
mill. which raises the water into an
800 gallon tank, from which it runs to
the house. Arrangements are made
for attaching hose to water the gar
den and flower-beds.
THE Williams evaporation an adver-
tisement of which appears in another
column, is one of the first that came
in use on the Peninaula and has sus-
tanned its reputation from the start.
Mr.. S. E. Sprout who now has the
sole control of its sale. is gentleman
who turns out nothing but first class
work. The machines are as near fire
proof as they can be made, and are
noted for turning out a high grade Of
fruit.
ONE of the most pleasing and attrac-
tive features seen by travellers on the
State road from Milford to Smyrna, IS
| the young peach orchard Oh the James
farm. lust south of Magnolia. The or
cbard contains little over 1000 trees,
and in all its extent there is not one
missing or siekly tree; all are pruned
numerically and the soil is kept well
titled. The trees have on them now a
fair load offruit which is much larger
than the same varieties in other or
chards at this season.
LAST Tuesday the Presbyterian Sun
day school enjoyed a beautiful day at
the seashore. Four well-flled cars

+ bowling at the Bright House.strolline
nv the waves, and splendid dinner
and supper ct the Henlopen Hotel
