people appeared to be gathering in Milton
As the sequel will show ! could tell nothing
about it-having arrived home the day be-
fcs was an incoguito to Miton's doings
for the last few days However, the busy
hum Of many soon made me a spectator OF
events, and ! was one who witnessed the
launch of the schooner William r. Parker
from the shipyard This vessel is owned By
the firm of Burton & Parker, of this town.
The vessel was nicely tagged, and as is
understood, rugged on the stocks, presented
not an usual appearance. Miss Jennie Par
ker, niece of Mr.. Parker, and daughter Of
Mr.. Peter Parker, of Philadelphia, whom we
understood will flag the vessel christened
her, or was the nominal representing of the
| christening-for after three trials she failed
TO burst the bottle and as the W T. Parker
struck the water, Captain Charles Burrows
suatched the bottle from the young Miss
/ hand and christened her as above. the w.
| T. Parker's carrying capacity is 275 tons. She
will be under the mmand of Captain
Charles Burrows and will engage in the
coasting trade, Mr.. Parker's new store will
open soon aud the new vessel will be en-
| ployed in the mercantile pursuits Of Mr.. Par
ker.

Zeodelite company would have put their
dynamos and balloons. and have sent them
up from Milton, they n1ight-aud probably
would-have brought rains in Kansas.
