st. Valentine Feast.

This old Saints day. after having
fallen into disuse, has received an OBJ
servance in Milford society in a man
ner that will be long remembered.
The ladies of Christ Church Guild
have the honor of reviving the happy
observance of the day, and how well
they have succeeded, visit this even
ing to their fair and supper in the
large mansion home of Mrs. Clinton
Roudebush, will tell palmer than Ian
guage. Every detail of arrangement
is thorough, and marked by elegance
and taste-as all enterprises gotten up
bv the Guild generally are. The long
room at the corner of Front and North
SITS. i'm which the feast is held, has been
divided into three apartments by dra-
peries, and their decorations are artis-
tic with fancy work and evergreen.
A departure from the conventional
has been made, in that 10 sign or trace
of kitchen is to be found. The viands
are served from long bodfet by the
lady who has each department in
charge i'm the same manner in which
her table at home would be presided
over The menu consists of oysters
in all styles, salad tea, coffee, cakes anc
creams, ETC., all in profusion, and at
moderate charge Of thirty-five cent
for all.
A special feature of the affair is tn
"Home made Candy Bazar," ever.
article Of which, from cream candies t.
taffy, was made by the ladies OF tn
Guild. Another pleasing feature i
the display of fancy work ami article
= made tbut not for sale by the ladie
Of the Guild.
Mrs. James M. Hall presides at tn
, postofIice, where cupid's valentines ar
dispensed. and which must be read il
public by the recipient.
e The Japanese Tea Room is a gran
. success. 1t is presided over by Mis-
Annie Watson, who came from Phi
adelphia especially to conduct it. TIL
J ceilings aud walls Of this room are de-
b Grated by genuine japanese uphol
j. terry and bric-a-brac. The finest tel
e ale brewed aud served in rare ol
y china by the fair hands Of Miss Wa
b son and her assistants, and the luscioI
j cream puffs made by Mrs. VIM.
o Watson, with the delicious tea, maxi

bliss. All are invited to attend.

Farmers Institutes.

Something decidedly practical for
Milford has been iuaugurated 10y Mil
ford Grange in its weekly open meet
ings. held in its hall every Saturday
afternoon, beginning at o'clock. To
these meetings all are welcome, and
each Is invited to take part in the dis
cnssion. From time to time those
questions are considered thatare likely
10 become subjects of State or National
Legislation; alsoquestiens ofhome and
farm economy.
Last Saturday quite number of
merchants and farmers looked in"
upon the meeting, and some took part
in the discussions. There was no
paper regularly set for that occasion,
but ''peach yellowsn was called up in
review 10y the public notice of mass
meeting to be held on the subject in
Dover ON the 18th inst. There is a
growing demand for some legislation
mon Ills important subject. Mr.. John
O. Truitt made an interesting presen-
,ation of his observations and expert
ence that strengthened the cause.
On the subject of New State House,
il WAS held 10 be doubtful economy to
build. at this time, more than a COM
modious fire-proof library for the care
Of the States treasures of this sort.
Though Worthy Chaplain Richardson
announced the aphorism that, ITO
build wisely for the future, there was
entire justice in the issuing of bonds
for the future to pay"
The provisions of the proposed in
surance law amendment, were gener
ally endorsed to the effect that com
panies should be required without
right of "a adjustment" to pay the ful
amount Of policy when there shall b'
total loss Of property insured. Mr.
Isaac r. Jester thought that addi
tional penalties would aid in the en-
fnrcemento offhe amendment; butothe
debaters thought the contemplate
provisions sufficient.

Base Ban for 1889.

Our sporting editor has been look
ing up facts aud fancios for the COM
ing season, and finds that base ball in
Milford will reach ont further than
usual for public favor. Those at the
head of base ball, intend that the
strongest club on the Peninsula shall
be located at Milford. The season
will be opened early, and the grounds
put into good shape and properly
fenced. The players have been all
arranged for. SprOgel-who has had
active practice during the winter in
pitching-will give base ball new
boom, and keep some of the heavy hit
tiers guessing his curves during the sea-
sou. Demorest will occupy the catch
er's position again, where he did good
service last season. Stecker, the sec.
ond baseman of last season, will be
welcomed by his many friends,and be

many games Of 1889. O'Donnell, the
tall first-baseman whose work there

ladies, will play the same position thi
season, and il is said that cupid viii

whois acknowledged 70 be the bes
fielder in the State, will take his OLE
position in left field. Rigby, tn
catcher, who did excellent work 70

Amusements.

The entertainment by the Moss
Family" last Saturday evening was
even more excellent than their repu-
talion had led US to expect. While
the entertainment given here in 1887
won the hearts of all their audience,
it was scarcely comparison to the
programme presented on Saturday
evening. To say that the people were
pleased would be putting it very mild.
El cry one was charmed and delighted
and at theearnest solicitation of many
personal friends, the Family" will
make return visit on Thursday next
February Dist. This will give an op-
portunity to many who could not make
it convenient to attend on Saturday
night, and as there will be almost an
entire change in the programme, it viii
he equally interesting for those wh'
were present OH Saturday night.

ten days behind this section in bloom
ing. In 1928 The few trees in Delaware
are reported to have been i'm bloom on
the 28th day of February, and Judge
George p Fisher informs us, that an
ancestor of his once told him, that he
knew peach tree in Sussex county
that bloomed out on the l4th Of Feb
ruary. In those days, peach trees
stood in corners of fences and in pro
tee ed places, where warm suns soon
started the sap flowing; but in these
days Of field culture, nothing has been
REGARDED even so early as bloom in
orchards before March 30th. As yet
