There is fine opportunity to start a

months.
The team of horses attached to the
New Hope and Doylestown stage, ran

age was done.
The first shad of the season was
caught at "Malta Island" below New

fishery.

held this evening at the residence Of Mrs

Thursday, April 10Th, has been APP
pointed by the Governor of our State, Al
''Arbor Day." pursuant to an act o
Assembly. 1t is recommended that al
who can do so, should plant tree or I
number of them, in suitable locality
Schools and all public institutions are in
vited to engage in this useful work. A
our streams are diminishing under til
great waste of our forests, which ar
rapidly disappearing, it is good for all t,
volunteer their services ON this day, 10
morrow, and make it day of genera
observance of custom that may be o
great benefit in the future.
On last Tuesday afternoon, the mem.
bers of the Eagle Fire Co., made an ex
pertinent in the vicinity of Hiram Scar
borough's residence, with view to ascer
tain whether it would be possible in the
event of fire in that locality, to draw
water for the use of the engine, from the
river at this point. A long suction was
used, but from some mechanical difficulty
in the apparatus used, the water failed
to rise. We understand that it was due
to the present impractacability of having
the pipe and connection air tight beyond
the length usually used in other places
The difficulty can be overcome, however
and viii, no doubt, be remedied at the
next trial. There is sufficient brain power
among the boys to overcome such an OBJ
stacle, and it will be, no doubt, accom-
plished.
