interested in the skating rink. Mr..

SOME plan should be devised by our

and ladders can be purchased. Better
still let them send Il draft of an amend

Legislature, that will permit the rails
ing of So, 900 for purchasing and fitting

ANOTHER FIRE.-On Saturday last,
the new residence of Mr.. Joseph e.
Holland was discovered to be burning.
The fire had its origin from a wood
sto-,o-s-- the sitting room. It had
;EINES AND = tiie-1l6or and
was bl0nug cheerfully Wien it was
discovered by Mrs. Holland.
If such poor gas as is furnished by
the gas works of Milford, was to he Of
fered free to a town now using coal oil
for Illuminating purposes, the offer
would be refused. 1t is almost impos-
sible to read by the light of the gas
from a chandelier. Oh, for a change
in the management of the works. i

day, Jan. Slst, 1885 at her brother-in-

FORTUNE favors Milford eve.y time
that fire occurs. When the Wilson
residence burned ten years ago,a heavy
snowfall saved the adjoining property,
and similar GOd-sends have operated
in the towns favor at each succeeding
fire; which have occurred about every
eight months. Last Saturday night,
nothing could have saved the business
part of North Milford, had even light
breeze been blowing, without the aid
of a fire engine.
SPECIAL. ELEcrIoN.-At the special
election held in Kent county, on Mon
day last, Mr.. Joshua Bennett, Sr., of
Milford Neck, was chosen to fill the

Watson. The election was but little
more than form as no one was put up
in opposition. Only ninety-three votes
were cast in Milford hundred. South
MurderlSill cast 16O votes-the largest
poll. His majority was 653.
LOAN ExHIBITION.-The Loan EX-
hibitiou, gotten up in aid ofthe Chapel
Sunday School, promises to be great
success, both socially and financially.
They have succeeded in getting to-
gether more curious things than any
one would have supposed were in Mil
ford. and the exhibit is well worth
visit. Excellent refreshments were
