MIR. w. Atmore woodrow Of this
town sold his promising horse Rocket"
on Saturday last to VIM. f. Hartley,
Esq, of Philadelphia, for $500. Some
time ago Mr.. Woodrow had mate for
Rocket for which he sold for $500, thus
making the pair bring $1,000. This is
profitable horse raising, we should say.
Mr.. w. has several more promising bit Of
horse flesh.
The S. Y b. Club gave most enjoy
able hop in Exchange Hall, this town, on
Tuesday night. Most of those in attend
ance were from outside the town, sew
eral being from Wilmington. The
young men of the town do not give as
much encouragement to the Club as they
should. Prof. Richie furnished the very
best of music. Refreshment were in
abundance, and the locker on could not
fail to notice the fact that all enjoyed
themselves to their hearts content
To the old board of Town Commits
sioners we suggested that more streets
be opened. Cross streets. One was to
open street where the old school house
No. 80 stands, making it run past Mr..
Grifiith's store to point north of the
town. A street could be opened from
Choate street running west as far as
the College grounds. Now at this point
a street could be opened between Mrs.
Watson Evans property and the College
campus. These are only suggestions.
We expect to make these same suggest
ions to every new board of Commits
sioners.
