 "The Ting Yuen and Chen Yuen were struck with torpedoes in three fathoms of water. The peace envoys have been fully empowered to treat and will re- main in Japan. Both countries are anxious to conclude the war but Japan does not mean to leave China a loop hole for getting out"

WHAT about the four new arc lights
the town commissioners have been tax
ing of putting in ? Where is the hitch
Who owns the Milford light and water
plant, anyway Do the people OF the
town or someone else? II the plant Is
paying all expenses then those in author
ity should gladly give the citizens OF the
town, who own the plant, the best service
possible without a dollar from the town
commissioners The plant was erected
for the convenience of the residents ofthe
town and if they are not going to get any
better service than they did when private
individuals controlled the plant, the town
would be better under the old manage
ment, for then there was not forty thous-
and dollar debt hanging over our heads,
There ought to be at least four more arc
lights and this without an extra penny
from the town commissioners, or at least
this seems to be the consensus Of opinion.

to Dover to associate himself with his
brother, DR.. G Layton Grier, he having
taken charge Of the dental specially bus
mess left by the late DR. Caulk. DR.. G.
l. Grier being born notwithstanding
from mechanical family. has built quite
a name and reputation as a dentist, but
none the greater than his brother, who
takes charge Of his practice. No dentist
has ever lett Milford with better rec
ord than our young friend Dr. F. L.Grier
Having often visited Dr. Grier's Office in
Dover, we congratulate DR.. r. /. Grier
on stepping into what we consider the
best equipped and finest dental Office on
the peninsula and surpassed by few in
Philadelphia, aud what is more, a large
practice justly earned.

TROUT are plentiful and cheap enough
for anybody. Shad are plentiful and a
drug on the market Drum fish are pleu-
tiful and cheap and in another week a
sixty pound one will sell at the beach for
single dime. Sturgeon are plenti-
full, but we of this section do not care how
cheap they are. our fish taste is too re-
fined to relish them. The finest ofevery-
thug to eat can be had in this town at
the very lowest cost possible. Sea trout
are now selling for but seventy-hve cents
a bushel and a few more days of good
weather will bring them down to halt
this. This is the garden spot Of the world,
truly, for those in moderate circumstan-
ces Everything good IS plentiful aud
low aud prices aud climate are as fine
as anybody can find anywhere on the
