"BUzzARDs' PARADIsE."

The sickening Garbage Pest-hole Dumps
Outside the City Limits Where Ghoul-
ish Buzzards Batten and vomlt.
Continuous complaint is made BIZ the
residents of the extreme western pnrt Of
the city, where, just outside the city
limits, are located the piggeries and lots
where city garbage is dumped. The
stencil from these places IL simply un-
beaiable. Bat, bad as it is, the state
ment made by those who have recently
witnessed things there is almost too hor-
ritying for publication. Flocks of bug
yards in all their repulsive habits and
appearance are the constant attendants
on these garbage dumps, where they
gorge to nauseation and then founder
OIL and take wing, vomiting tue otfal
with slckenlng noise as they arise.
~ is the most disgusting sensation"
said gentleman yesterday who recently
witnessed the incident, that lever saw.
The disgusting birds make a noise that
can be heard very far off. What makes
II more horrible is that ones attention
is forced to the peculiar sound on &C.
count OF its strange resemblance to that
Of human being"
A big withered old tree which stands
close to one of the dumping grounds is
one OF the roosting places Of the buzz
yards. BY actual count, on one occa-
sion, the reporters informant counted
10y OF the filthy birds perched on tile
old tree.
Ono OF the most important of these
dumping grounds, that is to say i'm.
purtant in the sense of the great
nuisance it is to the public, is located
on the Lancaster pike, outside of the
city limits, at a point where the VIII
mington d Northern railroad crosses,
Here 100 hogs fatten and batten on the
garbage. The refuse, too purified for
the discriminating hogs, is lavishly
swallowed by the ravenous buzzards
who gorge 1t literally until they cannot
stanu. Inc stencil arising from this
mass OF putrldity, located as the place
Is, upon nigh ground, overlooking the
city, is Its worst feature. At times IL Is
perceived at distance of two miles
away. 1t should be added also that
these dumping grounds are regularly
ifequented by numbers Of dogs VINO seek
meal there. The CANNES make nightly
visits to the places from the streets Of
the city and from the neighboring hun
dreds, when the noise of their nocturnal
wrangles and squabbles over the choicer
tid-blts remind one Of the stories told by
eastern travellers Of the avidityof jackals
and hyenas III Syrian graveyards.
Passengers travelling on the Whining
ton d. Northern railroad passing that
point are nauseated and sickened by the
atenoE OF the offal. Although the car
windows are closed in time yet the foul
od:.. Gre sps into the Car which is not
ciear.sed Of the stencil for long time.
Ino gentleman referred TO remarked
to the reporter "You. like pork How
would you like to eat the pork from
these hogs?"
The nuisance may possibly be within
the jurisdiction Of Tic Board of Health,
whose authority extends one mile
beyond the city limits, but under any
circumstances the Levy Court might ACT
i'll the premises. The residents Of the
neighborhood of Silyerbrook are entitled
to relief.

SALE OF AN OLD H0srELRY.

Henry snyder is the Purchaser of the
OH Centrevine Inn for the Sum of
$500.
Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., has sold the
old Centreville Inn, with So acres ad-
joining, and all the barns and outhouses,
to Henry Snyder for the sum of $780,
The property is ON the Kenneth pike,
about seven miles from Wilmington,
and is the only licensed place outside
the Columbus Inn that has Incense
from there to Red Lion, in Chester
county. The Centreville Inn is one of
the old taverns of the county. A gem
tleman remarked this morning that
"years ago, before the railroads had
taken the wagon traffic from the main
roads and pixies, have seen as many as
100 wagons standing at the inn" 1t
was on the direct route of grain wagon
traffic from Lancaster county to the
Brandywine mills, which at that time
did all the milling for the farmers
within radius of 100 miles. 1t is
believed that with the advent of electric
railways some of the old inn custom
| will come back again.

10S TEACHERS PRESENT


The exhibit of drawing made at the
recent teachers institute seems to have
awakened new interest in the subject.
The classes of teachers conducted by
Miss Downing, supervisor Of drawing,
on Monday and Thursday evenings,
have of late been very large. These
classes meet in No. school from AS
to 5.45 p. m.
There were 105 teachers present in
the classes which met last week. The
room In which they meet cannot be
lighted so that more than 80 of the stu
dents can take the lessons to advantage.
Consequently many of the teachers
present last Thursday lost the hour, be-
cause they could not see to do the work
they came TO perform.
