MILTON.

The anniversary of the Missionary Society
of the NJ. Z, Sabbath School will be held in
the church in this town on Sunday evening
next Hurculean efforts are being made by
the oficiary Of this organization to raise the
maiur part of the church's quota by the
members Of the school, and thereby relieve
the members Of the congregation OF the bur
den. The small scholars are provided with
eards-as is generally the case-ou which to
solicit SUBSCRIPTIONS, aud it is expected by
this means that more than moiety of the
assessments will be obtained. That the
assessment, for this cause, on this charge IS
altogether too much, is acknowledged by all
vet il isa principle with this people to bear
without murmuriug all that the powers
that ben are inclined to impose upon them
Mrs. L. B. Chandler, in the interest Of this
organization, will hold sociable at her
home. on Friday evening, at which the
scholars of her class, together with the
teachers Of the school will be entertained
The members of the congregation are also
invited to be present.
The ladies' and gentlemen of Georgetown,
of the Epworth League, together witt their
many friends, visited the Epw%'ei Dss-e OF
Milton, on Sunday evening. Ilhe register

l after dark. Should any doubt grand dis
play we will refer them to the orange peel,
The tobacco slumps, and the general stains
Of expectoration that were visible in front,
and on the pavement of the N. E. Church
on Monday morning.
II will be remembered that three weeks
ago / was extremely enthusiastic over the
canning prospects of Milton, indeed, made
assertions that were intended to be true, and
were at that time. But now these assertions
remind me of Jersey friend once had in
Kent county. This friend at one time hired
mule to 90 on a fox hunting expedition,
He did not know that the mule had been
there before" but he had. As soon as the
do0s started the fox, Mr.. Mule took after
the dogs; and away he went through the
cripple aud quagmire. My friend told me
aferward. that he called his beast 'Mr.
Mulen and asked him to stop-but he kept
on. His saddle slipped up on the males
neck and my friend caught him by the ears,
still no signs ofstoppiug- gum biles" were
raising on his legs, when suddenly the mule
pitched into a quagmire and the rider went
over his head This analogy is not altogether
pertinent but will answer. The canning fac
tory has absquatulated. the Board of Trade
has collapsed; the marine railway is like
Biddy Megee's pea nut stand" gone up
spout But in justice to the people Of Mil
ton I will say that the FIRST named is not thei
fault. for the sto ok 10 build the building was
already subscribed, when Mr.. counseiman,
for reasons best nown to himself, declined
to come, since then other parties have been
written to. or interviewed, but for various
reasons cannot work the proposed Milton
plant this year. Such is MiltonAthe prop
agondist and the metaphysician may see the
hopes of embracing the one idea or the pos
sibilities Of the OF her, but we confess we are
suulnnnt 60nHm.
Mr.. Beardsley, has commenced operations.
He opened yesterday with two saws. His
machinery is snch as to astouish the eyes Of
the average AIiltouian, who have been used
