THERE are many men in Milford
who loudly decry the Grange, and
clamOr for the people to patrOnize
home industry, and they are the most
inconsistent creatures in existence.
They not only purchase their clothes
in the city, but frequently buy grocer
les, meats and hOuse-furnishing goods.
Consistency, thou art Jewel.

ing Material of the Worlds Industrial

two first premiums (gold medals) for
printing presses to Messrs. e. b. Cot
trell & Sons, of New York. One of
these premiums was on their new

try Press.
MR., j. K. KELLER, the advertising
agent of A. G. Yates & Co., was in Mil
fOId on Friday blowing his horn lit
orally and metaphOrieally. His turn
out and fancy cards attracted great at
tentiOn, and half the boys and girls in
town were engaged in an effort to
make the mules gaIlOp. Yates & Go.
are good on the puzzle, but how they
sell good clothing so cheap, is harder
to find out than the mules.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made
for the Granger's picnic at RehObOth
in July. Mr., Whitehead will be there,
Mrs. Bristol, of New Jersey, and dis
tinguished speakers from OaF own
State. There will be tent near the

from Wilmington at reduced rates.
Two oil paintings were on exhibit
ton at c. e. Treidler's last week, that
are the work of Rev. E. Stubs. They
are about 1922 inches, and the sub
iscts chosen are q view across the two
lakes from point Just above Ogr depot,
and a scene on the Hudson River.
The artists work shows much careful
study IN proportion, and in lights and
shadows. The pictures would do
credit TO an artist of more pretentiOns.
Houston is a nice little town near
Milford and its freight business is suf-
ficient for its inhabitants to ask better
treatment from the hands of the D. NJ.
and V, Railroad. Their station is very
pretty, but so far as its use is con-
cerned, it had as well be located in
Asia, as il has never been furnished
and is opened only at long intervals.
The passengers during Indictment
weather take refuge in the neighbor-
ing stores.
THE practice Of cutting out the tops
of our trees has been the cause Of the
destruction of nearly all the beauty Of
our shade trees. The topping causes
the body of the tree to decay, and the
Tree thus comes TO an pnlimely end.
Naples should be trimmed up from
the bottom. This would cause the
,ody and main limbs to enlarge, and
inally arch over the entire street. II
would also permit the street lamps to
perform their proper duty by lighting

THE steamer J. F. Holt has been
making very good time, and the in
;rease in her Heights has been very
satisfactory to the captain. The cost
or transporting packages of merchan-
lise is reduced fifty per cent. to the
merchants, and the dispatch IL about
he same as by rail. The steamer on
Ter last trip left Philadelphia at Z p
n. and was made fast at the Milford
wharf at noon after having stopped to
Unload five tons of freight on her way
