7. r. Creamer. She was the mother OF
Mr.. George Hall, one Of Milford's busi
ness linen; of Mr.. VIII Hall engaged IN
tn manufacture of refrgerators at Phil
adelphia, and Of Mrs. Annie Carey wife
Of Mr.. James Carey Of North Milton.
One of the best kiln Of bricks ever
burnt in Milton was closed last month
and opened by Mr.. Albert S. Taylor,
formerly of Frederica. The clay from
which these bricks are burnt IS ofsuperior
quality, and the bricks have ring that
pronounce them Excelsior.
Captain d. r Burton is quite sick.
Too much excitement lately, and being
an invalid for a year, has taxed his capa-
bilities too much.
Owing to a misunderstanding between
Mr. Fox and Mr.. Burton it is question
able whether the sale, alleged to have
been made between these parties viii be
confirmed Pending a compromise busi-
ness "hangs fre," and from the present
outlook It IS extremely uncertain II these
places OF business will soon be rebuilt.
On last Tuesday John Paynter Carey
shot a COW belonging to the Rev. w. n.
Conoway. It is stated that Carey fired
three loads of buck shot into the COW
near the fore shoulder The COW was
trespassing on Mr. Carey; but Mr. Carey
has no fence of any account, and there
is no stock law in the district Mr.. Con-
oway would have cheerfully paid any
damages the COW might have done, but
to have the beast mangled in the manner
it is is a system of wickedness to deep
fs,as CO.
took help to get the COW home, and the
milk she now affords is mixed with blood
which, however is only taken from her
to afford relief. If there is law for the
prevention of cruelty to animals" II
should be applied in this case.
The new schooner Thomas Wins
more" ashore at the mouth of the Broad
kiln, is said to be undamaged; but Milton
is damaged by this mistake OF a family
concern. That vessel could have been
delivered in Philadelphia last August, and
the Captain could now have the profits OF
several trips, but when a dozen men are
put upon a job of that kind, merely to
keep work Sin the family" the mechan-
ical business Of town suffers and capt
talist will fight shy of such a place. II
was the same thing a year ago with Cap
tain Lauk's vessel only she did mot gel
ashore. And to clap the climax OF alb
surity-if we are correctly informed
the contract with the wrecking company
is to get her off. No time is stipulated.
The wrecking company have their an
chors out and the necessary parapher,
ualia in proper trim, and are waiting ano
undoubtedly will wait for nature, God
and high tides to do the rest, If 1t takes
a year. Of course it is none of our bus
iness, only so far as we go to make up
the whole of that giant-pubhc opinion
and comment.
