DIR. EDWIN BONN, of Frankford,
Sussex county, died suddenly in that
town on Sunday, apparently from the
effect Of ether. Whether he took the
drug with the intention of ending his
own life or was ignorant of its nature
and thought he was taking pure alco-
hol, is a question that the coroners
| Jury was unable to decide.
Irs a positive fact that some of the
Young ladies of Milford have been
practicing on roller skates for full
week in private, so as to be able to fall

skaters hadn't shook the foundations
of her residence this week in falling
and alarmed the neighbOrs.

Directory" of Milford, has been issued

there is useful information in it that
pertains to our State and county offices
! that is convenient to have handy.

ton in Baltimore, and would hardly
mt a fertilizer on the market unless il
was what they represented it TO be.
