In noticing the improvements III and {
around Milton, and the shipping interest +
thereof, the enterprise, vim and industry
of Captain Scull looms up as one of the =
principal factors in these businesses. The
two slnices that were used to launch YES
sells through into the river prior to Cap
tain Scull's purchase Of the property, are
now being utilized by him as docks, at :
which many vessels load their cargoes
He is building wharves on each side of
these docks-four wharves in all-in Or
der to make better landing, and in this
work he is employing many men With
two vessels Of his own, he is running pill
Ing and other freight to Philadelphia, and
his are the principle vessels that bring
the return freight that is shipped to this
town by water transit. Just back of his
dwelling which is situated on the main
thoroughfare leading in and from town
east is a garden of vegetables, and on the
untitled land between this and the dock,
timber and other freight is lying for ship
ment He has a splendid place here to
raise pigs and fowls of all kinds, those
that habitate OH the land together with
/ the swimmers and waders of various spec
les. And he is raising these valuable
productions, mostly for home consump- /
ton. Captain Soul has mind that is
ever active. When one thing is COM
pleted, another is commenced. He APP
years to be working, not only for him
self, but for those who may come after
him. It has been said, "He who causes /
two blades of grass TO grow where only
one grew before. is public benefactor;"
and is not the man who gives employ
ment to persons who raise families on
the proceeds of that employment for fu-
ture usefulness public benefactor? Is
not the man who builds wharves, and
makes docks for the benefit of another
generation, a public benefactor or is
not his work magnum bonum?
When Mr.. w. Nailor moved the
building of Captain H. P. Burton, he
was obliged to trim many of the shade
trees along his route on Federal street.
Mr. Nailor before attempting the job OBJ
tanned a permit from Town Council to
) u-e the street. although, as the President
of the Council has informed us, there
was stipulation i'll the permit that if any
private property was damaged the town
would not be responsible for the damage;
but would accept any damage done to
t public property. The owners of the
shade trees that have been trimmed-if
they be the owners have now, part of
them, presented bills to Council for dam
ages, and if the ones who have sent in
their bills succeed in collecting, others
whose trees were trimmed and no dam
5 age done them, will send in their COM
! plant, also. Itappears, from our CONVEX
sation with President of Council, that the
question to be decided is whether the
D trees are the property of the persons, in
: front of whose residences they are, or are
e they the property of the town And
here the matterrests for the present.
:, We have been informed there are par
ties-whether in this town, or elsewhere
n who are selling extract of Tonka Bean
4 to makers of ice cream, as substitute for
vanilla, in havoring that article. The
tree which grows the Tonka bean, is a
native of the lowlands of Guiana, South
America, and the extract, while possess
7, ing taste similar to vanilla, is yet dead
t and afterward sickening. A physician,
l. or druggist, would know the two apart
by their tastes, while The rest of us would
l. not. It is believed the use of this ex.
II tract in the cream sold around on the 4tH
a of July, was the cause of so much of the
l. chidren's sickness next day in Milton
Authorities say it should not be used
d. There is a practice prevailing in Milton
DO which, we think, looks bad. This is tn,
or customs persons have of nicely painting
their buildings and leaving the roofs IN
OF painted, particularly a shingled porcl
u. roof. The Odd Fellows Hall, on tn
I'd northeast corner of Chestnut and Whar
ton streets, is an example in paint. Tn
m building is nicely painted and trimmed
A. but the porches which are low and exten
on one end and part of one side, tn
IA shingles of which are somewhat decayeC
Ior spoil the appearance Of the whole builC
vo ing. The Hall would look better will
cd out any paint on it than with such an ey
sore in front of it. By all means pain
,as your porch roofs, if you paint nothin
IN else around your house.
