THOSE pushing the Dover aud Milford
Electric Railway claim they are going to
build The road, and to commence work
they are only waiting for the right of way
I through the streets Of the different towns.
Milford is the only town on the line that
has not taken action Under certain
conditions this company should be
granted the right Of way through certain
streets of the town. Conditions as to
speed in town limits, paving. lighting
streets, protecting water mains, iron
bridge. etc. If these things are all prop
erly arranged aud satisfactorily agreed
upon, then the privilege should be given
the company to lay tracks through aud
operate their cars upon the streets desired
provides, however, the property owners
in streets desired, give their consent.
Front street, South, is the prettiest resi-
dent street in the town, and the principal
street of South Milford, and its beauty
should not be ruined by the electric COM
pany if the property holders object, which
they do. Second street is equally as feas-
ible as Front and Town Council should
offer this street as a substitute for Front
street. If there is any possibility of the
road being built,-we do not think there
is any nothing should be done to keep
them out Of Milford. OF course it would
not be right for Town Council to grant
the right of way against the wishes of
property owners. and there is much oppo. |
sition to allow the cars to go through |
Front street. Second street, South, is the |
most feasible route and this is the street /
that should, and probably will be, agreed /
upon by the company with Council Let /
the road come, gentlemen, but we do
not believe you will do so Town Coun-
ell held a meeting last night to take
action in reference to granting the right
Of way, but as they are still in session
As we go to press there is nothing to do
out to ask our readers to await our next
ssue for particulars.

A FRw words to the summer girl /:
Don't wind your ivy affection around the
oaken heart of the boy who spends money
on you recklesslY or beyond his means
Mistrust the young man who quotes poe
try. Tie up to him who without affec.
ton quotes the latest price of eggs. Don't
wear tight boots. A plain, sunburned girl
with a natural waist and good broad sOles
on which she can jump is the choice of
the youth worth having. The man who
can play the guitar aud sing "Thy Face
Shall Ever Lead Me On" is not neces-
sariiy a better match than the husky
youth with steady work. Do not marry
for money, but don't marry to prove that
You care nothing for gold Don't think
seriously Of any young man who cannot
make at least a decent living and by all
means cut and cut quickly, the acqnaint-
ance of all young mes who think it
manly and the proper thing to repair
to the bar room after leaving you at II
O'Clock p. m. If you are not beautiful
and have wit cultivate that Read about
Mime. de Stael. She was never, strictly
speaking,a summer girl, but her life is
full OF useful suggestions to the summer
girl,-to you. Just diess yourself in nice,
fresh frocks, and say all the nice things
you can think of about the girls who are
pretlier than you. You will be engaged
to the son of a merchant prince before
you know it, perhaps to the sons of two
merchant princes.

A new bug has struck this town aud he
has struck it with d rush. For want of
better name-even the entomologists adj
nit he is a stranger here-he is known as
the electric light bug Look at any arc
light of hot evening and you will -see
hundreds of them darling about, attracted
by the glare. They are about the size of
a cockroach, only trifle longer and thin
ner, and have reddish brown wings,
slightly notified. They seem TO be at
tracted by the glare, aud dash mgdiy
against the globe only to fall stunned to
the road-bed below. After recovering
from the shock they crawl away to recu-
perate, unless trodden 10 death under foot.
If man wears spectacles or eye glasses,
and looks up at the liSht at an angle at
which the glare will be reflected On his
glasses, ten chances to one lie will feel
slight shock, and will be surprised 10 ind
that one of the bugs has dashed head
first against his spectacles. The bugs
have only been Lere a short time but
they have already made their presence
felt.

THIS is the season sacred to the sweet
girl graduate. To her the following
thoughts are respectfully dedicated: Try
not to imagine yourself the most inpor-
tant aud most interesting object in the
universe. Remember that there are so
many of your kind that the significance
of each individual is comparatively small.
Impress it upon your mind that it has
not always been the girl whose appear
ance upon the commencement stage was
most charming who has created the great
est Juror in the educational and literary
world later OF course to your cultured
eyes the limitations of YOUR mothers ed
ucation must be painfully apparent Try
not to show your superiority too strongly.
Even 20 so far as to cultivate a little
wholesome humility by rejecting that
civilization is advanced more bY well
brought up families aud we'll ordered
households than by essays on what We
Owe to Our Times" which you read but
did not write Lastly, remember that
while you know a great deal more and
are fairly replete with information on
many subjects. you will have forgotten
III ost of it within a year ard after two or
three years you will begin to discover
that you are learning something indeed,
and that when you graduated you thought
you knew it all but know now YOU were
only the wiser in your own conceit. Be
not vain of that which must quickly pass
away.

THE Pennsylvania railroad officials are
determined to put stop TO boys Jump
ing on and off their moving trains at this
depot. Officer Wilson has been given
the power to arrest all such offenders and
take them before any justice of the peace
for punishment, and Wilson proposes to
do his duty in this, withoutfavor A
word Of warning should be sufficient TO
break the boys off but Officer Wilson will
arrest any boy caught aud then the fine
will probably be sufficient to cause him
to stop forever afterwards this dangerous
practice.
