AN old diary written in 1885 by Joshua

Layton and his wife went by stage to

Mr.. Davis was treated with little more
maguanimity as out OF sixteen the thieves
took but eight, just one half, leaving I
others probably for some future visit.
seems that chicken stealing in this e
will go on forever. There is but one
to stop it and that is to employ a good
detective for a season who can and will
ferret out the culprit or culprits. When
the guilty ones are discovered punish
ment should be administered in such
positive manner as to intimidate and
frighten others from attempting such
thing ever again in this community.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Is likely to
be asked to decide boundary dispute at
home, or it may be submitted to the Su-
preme court for settlement. Both New
Jersey and Delaware claim jurisdiction
over the Delaware river for some distance
above and below the town of New Castle.
Charles II, in the year 1858, granted his
brother James, the Duke OF York, tract
of land within a radius of twelve miles
above New Castle aud all of the islands
in the river falling within this circle,
which, of course, gave him jurisdiction
over the stream. James afterward trans
ferred this land to William Penn, and it
became the State of Delaware but New
Jersey insists that, as the Delaware river
is the boundary between the two States,
her Jurisdiction extends to the middle Of
that stream.
