MILTON.

Much comment has been made about
the young converts of Milton attending a
party on Saturday evening, and the afir-
nation is, IF probationers Of the church
are to attend parties, then there is yet
room for great spiritual improvement in
our midst" There is certainly no harm
in a social party. The young misses pro-
test against any desire to commit a wrong,
and we belieye them; they also claim in
extenuatiou, and not without reason, that
for nine weeks and for seven nights in
the week, aud as late as nine and some
times eleven O'Clock each night, they
have attended church scarcely without
intermission, that they have not even had
Saturday evenings for friendly sociability,
aud they consider they have violated no
rule Of propriety by appropriating this
particular evening to innocent pleasures
aud social enjoyment. Opinions, like
colors, differ
The annual election Of officers for the
Town Council was held on Saturday last.
There being no important issue at stake,
the following gentlemen were chosen
Messrs. James A Carey, w. f. Carey,
+. w. Warren and G. A. Bryan. One Of
these gentlemen filled the unexpired
term of John NJ Hall, removed to Will
mington.
The stern-post and accompaniments of
the new schooner now under way, was
raised and put in position on Saturday
At the last session of the NJ. +. Quar-
terly Conference, Mr.. James I. Donahoo
was elected lay delegate to represent this
church at the Annual Conference, con-
vening at Lynchburg, Va, April sd.
Rev ]. A. Weigand aud family left town
on Thursday-their objective point being
Lynchburg, Mr. Weigand's native place,
and the NJ P Conference. During the
interim, however, he will visit Havre de
Grace and other points.
Mr.. George W. wilkins has secured
the contract for carrying the mail from
Ellendale to the Drawbridge via Milton.
Steam tug Irene broke the winter dead
lock on Saturday by towing the schooner
J. w. Fox down the creek. The vessel is
laden with pine piling for Newark, N. J.
Mr.. Frank Davidson has quit showing
the jack plane and gone into the more
innocent amusement of handling the
yard stick. He succeeds Mr.. Joseph L.
Black at the corner of Federal street and
Pig alley.
MANY of our merchants who receive
their goods by rail at this season, have
their station from Ellendale to
Broadkiln, especially when large amounts
or heavy goods are ordered. The reason
for this is, the goods can be delivered
from Broadkiln to Milton very cheap, and
the difference in freight between the two
stations is comparatively small.
The heavy rain of Sunday has cut the
roads badly, and swollen the streams to
proportions, The Beaver
Dam bridges on Monday morning were
in a floating condition. and the water
covered the road around them to the
depth of a foot. It is now considerably
abated. d. A. c.

Town Election.

Last Monday the annual election fol
town officers took place; and although
there was no issue at stake Of public
nature, the little private grievances
caused those interested to get out fair
vote through the pouring rain. The
regular ticket nominated on Saturday
night was changed by the citizens who
led the opposition in four places only.
The following shows the vote to have
been a tie between X. j. Beswick and
Chas. H. Tuthill for the two year term
in council. The tie was caused by the
throwing out of double ballot, which
was cast for r. J. Beswick The fol-
