Work was resumed oesoay =

On April nth next Pads 7 Carlisle

his son-in-law, will sail fos "a four month

When Vim. Tomlinsot' died about two
years ago, he owed Dr. Benjamin White
lev for professional ATTENDANCE, etc. sos,
and since then DR.. whitley hS refused
to pay rsat for the property he occupied
1 (which as owned by Mrs. Tomlins0n)
until tbs 5ill was covered. To this Mrs.
TomlinssA demurs and took legal steps
to collect the rent. The doctor claims
that her late husband was ner authorized
agent and as such the debt was con-
tracted The case will undoubtedly re-
suit in a law suit before it ends-iu fact,
legal proceedings have already been taken
by both parties to prosecute the case.
It is a strange fact, but nevertheless
true, that ninety-nine hundredths OF the
lumber used by farmers and builders in
aud around Frederick, buy all their luni-
Der from the large yards and mills in Mil
ford. For month past wagons heavily
loaded with all kinds of building lumber
have been coming from Milford to Fred
erica. If lumber can be sold at a profit
BY Milford mills and dealers, why can't
Frederick dealers do as we'll ?

large barn on his farm on the Milford
road.
This has been quite busy week with /
the ladies If the NJ. E Church who have
been engaged in fixing up the parsonage
for the new minister assigned us by the
recent cOufereI ev s. R. Maxwell,
Doctor Caldwell our former minister has
retired from active ministerial work and
will reside in Dow e can get house
to suit him, which as yet he has not
succ ling in, doing. He has packed his
goods and stored them i n the
former resid nee of the late Ex-Gov.
Hall which be . z unoccupied he readily
secured as place for storage. The Doc
tor has many friends both here and in
Dover, but he prefers the latter as a
place of residence on account of is being
On the railroad. The Rev. Mr. Maxwell
IS now on visit near Cape May but will
arrive on Friday the first of April, and
be given a reception at the parsonage
and preach next Sunday morning and
evening and after that time regularly. ~
On last Sunday afternoon the funeral
If Mr.. John Reynolds of FELTON, took
place and his remains we're inferred in
DID Barratts Chapel Cemetery near this
place. The deceased is a brother of our
worthy aud public spirited citizen Mr..
Robert w REYNOLDS aud widely known,
vas highly respected ard estemeed. On
he same afternoon amid a pitiless and
,iolent rainstorm the flu eral Of young /
.hild of VIM Spurry of this town occurea
It about the same time, and interment
vas made at the same place.
One night last week as party of fox
hunters from this place were driving from {
own toward a neighboring woods they s
spied an object on the roadside that
ooked like a bundle Of grain sacks prom I
nading down the path by way OF diver
ion. or for the sake Of an evenings out !
ny. As the company numbered several s
nd as an investigation into things sup
rnatural is always made more enjoyable :
nd interesting when more than one per a
on is present to venture upon shadnwy D
'lutonian ground, they boldly struck
orth toward the impish spectre and de-
handed to know why at this witching
o ur its spectral form should visit earth
Making night hideous; and we fools OF
nature
% horribly to shake our disLorition,
With thoughts beyond the reaches OF our
souls" r
The response that came from the
asked form by the wayside fortunately
id not sound like wall from the sty- "
ian shore for it was a most homely K
runt of decidedly earthly nature and 3
-as found to be a good sized pig which :
-as dropped from a passing wagon and
scurely tied in bag, the owner OF which
ppeared ia due time. =,
Our genial, good-natured and CONVEX y
,tionai townsman Colonel John c. Darby
as been on visit to Philadelphia and
Isewhere. His Milford friends will not
.e the Colonel as ofteH, perhaps, now s
5 formerly as he has sold his driving
orse ''McGiuty " We think it will not
e long however before he will provide il
imself another with greater speed. n
