The large COW barns and stables,
owned by the Drs. Carlisle, of Milford
Neck, were consumed by fire Wednes-
day last.
The stable was 600 feet long built Of
corrugated iron roofand sides, and had
accommodation for 200 COWS; but at
the time Of the fire only $50 head Of
cattle were in it, and all but a pair Of
oxen, one calf and one goat were saved.
The barn contained several large silos
and many tons Of bran, meal and
feed.
The men were milking at $50 p. M,
when the fire started-about 70 feet
from the west end of the COW stable,
and before water could be turned on
the fire, it had spread through the
bedding over large space.
The large creamery, wagon barn,
Office, pig barns and other buildings
were saved.
Fire insurance policies partly cover
the loss, which is estimated at 81, 900

The charters of sixty-seven Del
aware corporations have been re-
pealed by proclamation Of Gov
ernor HUM, because the companies

without avail. In annulling the
charters the Governor acted in &C

Amount yet to be ......~......s AZ Oc
1t is only just to the teachers in the
High School to say, that the extra
teachers in drawing, shorthand and
music, have been secured through the
energy and enterprise Of the High
School teachers, and not through any
favor Of the School Board, as neither
the drawing or the music teachers re
ceive a salary from the Board. The
Principal is quite anxious to have these
subjects taught in all the rooms, but the
way has not been opened this year.
This statement is made in answer to an
article that appeared in the "News and
Advertiser last week, that seemed 10
imply that the High School had been
favored dispropertionatcly.

THE law prohibits furious driving, or

law is always enforced in Milford; but
for some reason in sleighing season,

THE residence Of Geo. S, Avery, at
the southern edge of Milford, was de
stroyed by fire just as the press was
running off the CHRONICLE last Thurs
day. Much of the furniture was saved,
and the family found a refuge in the
large home Of Mr.. VIM. I. Simpson.
There was an insurance Of $1,000 in the

which will leave Mr.. Avery's loss about
$500. Several valuable Paisley shawls
were consumed, and a package of
money. Mr. Avery will rebuild just
as soon as he can.

too high priced for Milford. The many
entertainments are patronized see
what the Central Lyceum Bureau has
to say ofthem;
Mr.. Parker is well known in the East as au-
thor and director, and has had years Of ex-
perience with musicians and the public, and
he has used this acquaintance to good effect
in selecting a group Of artists who should
bear his name. Every member is a solo ar
list and possesses the double talent Of voice
and instrupent Sc that the ave people give
