CONSIDERABLE anxiety is felt for
the Annie E. Pierce and crew, Capt.
David Still, which was supposed to

day last. No communication with

date, her whereabouts are only sur
mise.
THE condition of the streets has pre-
vented the ladies from visiting Mrs.
Reedy's this week, but the store has
maintained its usual cosy appearance,
and the leisure hours have been em-
ployed in arranging and disposing
the beautiful line of specialties which
were opened last week.
THERE is "a bill before the U. S. Con-
gress which has for its object the pay
ment of back pay due the Fifth and

claims of all members of those regi-
ments, and tabulating the same, w.
S. McMair. of Wilmington and a claim
agent, are making tour of the State.
They were in Milford on Wednesday.
LAST Saturday committees from the
Sussex and Kent county Levy Courts
met in Milford to view the location of
the proposed new bridge over the Mis-
pillion. The need was evident, and
those present expressed themselves as

soon as the money is appropriated, SO
that it may be ready for use during
the coming season.

NOrny informs all fisherman of this
State who fish for market, that the
law requires them to take out certifi-
cate under oath before a justice of the
peace, in conformity with the law be-
fore the 1st day of April. Failure to
do so subjects Delaware fishermen To
same penalties as snon-residents. This
applies to men who fish at Benefits
Pier and other trout fisheries along
the shore.
MRS ELIZA A. FISHER, wife of Geo.
P. Fisher. Esq, of Wyoming, who
owns a large tract Of land at the east
ern limits of Milford, writes to tie
CHRONICLE that as an inducement to
start manufacturing, she will deed free
of charge to any company that will
build a factory and conduct a manu-
featuring business thereon, building
lot sufficiently large for its purpose.
The property fronts on the MlspilliOn
river aud is high and dry land.
FUEL is becoming an obj ect in Mil
ford. Coal non est, and wood is only
Obtainable from one or two parties.
The scores Of cOuntrymen who offer
ready-cut wood on our streets daily,
are shut out by the snow, and those
who have depended on this market
for their supplies, are fain to purchase
cord wood from the wharves and cut
il themselves, which, with the cOndi-
tions prevailing during the past week,
has been an OnerOus task.
THERE is an ordinance TO the effect
that snow may not be permitted to Oh
slruet the pavements more than a
stated time after it has ceased to fall.
The limitation has certainly expired,
but pedestrians are still obliged to
plunge through many half broken
drifts, and in some places the 'seren-
ity of wintry repose remains un-
broken" along whole property front.
