our Muddy streets.

A gentleman from out of town
visiting Milford this week with his
wife, was obliged to get boards and
lay them over one of the principal
crossways on Broad street to enable
the lady to pass. The mud was
over shoe top deep. This state of
affairs is a disgrace to the town.
During the past week it has been
almost impossible for pedestrians
to cross the streets. The few cross
ways laid by former town councils
across Broad street have been
covered with mud, and lengthwise
of Broad and Hartford there are none.
We do not like to call attention to
these matters too frequently, but
there seems to be no other resource.
The condition of the town so far as its
streets and sidewalks go is simply
disgraceful, and the more money
spent under incompetent manage
ment, the worse they are. 1t would
be a happy day for us to get sufi-
cient intelligence in our Council to
work the streets with some degree of
Judgment for year or two. They
are now far worse than country
roads, and this summer the dust will
be simply unbearable, unless
streams of water are turned on
them to keep it down. Landlords
are expecting large influx of board
ers, and therefore the town may
receive more advertising as we'll as
criticism by those coming here,
and it is to the interest of all to
have our surrounding, and especially
our streets and sidewalks, as cleanly
and attractive as possible.

Hop at tFarnum,s Hall.

Pleasure reigned supreme at Far
NUNS Hall uptown Monday evening,
on the occasion of the opening of a
series of hops given under the aus
pices of the Arbitrium Club. Up
ward of two hundred guests were in
attendance and the splendid array of
elegant costumes worn by the ladies
present made the affair an unusually
brilliant one.
Miss Mary Squires. a very charm
ing and musically accomplished
young lady, with talent for organ
izing social functions, was the pre-
siding genius of the occasion, and
its success was largely due to her
efforts.
Dancing was the diversion of the
evening, and in the fascinating pas
time, the hours sped merrily by un-
til the lateness of the hour admon-
ished the jewellers that it was time
to depart
Music of a superior quality was
furnished by an orchestra consisting
of Mary Squires, pianist, Mr. Davis,
clarinet, and Mr. Beirne, violinist.
Much of the pleasure of dancing de-
pends on the character of music
and the playing of the orchestra
left nothing to be desired in that
particular.
The success of the first hop of the
Arbitrium club will doubtless en-
courage its projectors to give others
in the near future. 1t was very
happily conducted affair and reflects
credit upon Miss squires, the princi-
pal organizer.-P. j. Union.

Matamoras, Flrst Englne.

The first locomotive engine that
has been in Matamoras was taken
there this week across the Barrett
bridge in TOW of three teams of
horses. The engine is the little
locomotive of which the PRESS has
made previous mention of the M,
M. 81 N. Y. r. R. across the river.
The engine was taken off the
fat car in the Germantown switch
and put on the section track but
it was afterward found that the
use of the track was not necessary,
consequently the engine was run
on the ground in the street with
out the use of the tracks.
1t was put on the tracks and
taken across the bridge, which
shook and swayed under the heavy
weight of nine tons of the engine.
1t was taken up the river road
opposite the pier where the new
bridge will stand and then taken a
quarter of q mile down the old
Milford road and placed in the field
where the new tool house, rails,
ties and other materials are placed
The engine is handsomely decor
ated with national colors.

The Most Favorable Season.

To cure catarrh is in the spring.
During the winter the patient is
very likely to take fresh cold and
have set back. But if treat
ment is begun in the spring and
continued into the summer, nothing
need be feared for the succeeding
winter. OF course it all depends on
the medicine. There are a great
many catarrh medicines which re-
lieve the most disagreeable symptom
temporarily. Pe-ru-na cures more
slowly but also more permanently
than this class of medicine. A
course of Pe-ru-na during the spring
will cure catarrh more quickly than
at any other season. Mr.. Walter
III. Tucker, Concord, N. H., writes
DIR. Hartman as follows: when 1
began taking your medicines four
years ago l was suffering with
chronic catarrh. l had taken nearly
two dozen bottles of so-called ca
tarrh cures without much relief. Pc
ru-na cured the night sweats and
diznness it cured the cough l have
had from the cradle: / can say it
saved my life. "
DR. Hartman has published in book
form a series of lectures ON various
phrases of chronic catarrh, which he
calls winter Catarrh." This book
will be sent free to any address by
the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio.

the taxes on beer, tobacco, wines,
mineral water, ETC., and stamp tax
on documents, instruments, checks

TALLY as existed in 1866. These taxes

Our War Squadron is in sight of
Havana and the guns of MORO Cas-
tie have fired on some Of the YES
sells, but no bombardment has yet
been made.
The fleet of cruisers has sailed
for Manila, in the PHILIPPINE Islands,
which are in state of revolt, and
it is probable the first naval battle
will be fought there.
The Spanish feet is preparing to
leave, or may have already left the
Cape de Verde islands, but its des-
tination is unknown.
The Spanish feet has moved to
meet Admiral Dewey's squadron at
the PHILIPPINE Islands, and it is prob
able that naval engagement will
soon be fought under cover of the
shore batteries.
The Cape Verde feet having been
ordered out of port by Portugal will
likely go to Catiz, Spain. There is
one insuperable difficulty to it's
crossing the Atlantic, the necessity
for coal. The fuel problem will be
one of Spain's gravest problems.
Russia has signified her friendli-
ness to this country, Great Britain
and France have declared neutral
ity, and Spain will be compelled to
fight her battles alone but the peo-
pie must not be deceived with the
idea that she cannot, and will not
be dangerous aud costly foe.
The famous Seventh" of New
York was practically unanimous in
declining to enlist She will stay at
home.
Our fleet is nearing Man lila and
naval engagement is likely to en-
sue there at any moment.
Our Gunboats have bombarded
and silenced the batteries at Matan-
zas, fifty miles from Havana. No
Spanish shots hit our vdssels, but
they lost quite heavily. Spain is
sending gunboats in the Mediter-
ranean to sieze American yachts,
