men Within doors in disha iile. And the
question may be asked as it has been
asked before:-'How do those lovers of

Milton, is only one the blessings that

pie, aud everyone knows unto the good
no evil can betde." Hence, all Of the
good things of the earth belong to us
matter OF inheritance 20 say nothing Of
our being entitled to those blessings
under other conditions. A d our popu-
lace are noted for their philanthropy, and
as a matter of course, our town is over

full bellies and plethoric purses. Need
anything more be said? ? Yes, we will
add The following A few days ago we
passed the home Of a business man; he
was lying at full length on the porch with
a book in bis hand, while TIL wife was
sit ing in a chair reading the best fiction
of The latest date We could but admire
the happy TWAIN, with no little "incu-
buses to bOlher them, and possibly no
covetous person to envy them. That's
all Of this.
The grand autumual opening of the
millinary department of Messrs. Markell
4 Hartman's J'big store " occurred on
Saturday evening. AS this grand event
was intended principally for ladies, the
help at the store Miss Cage, the recently
appointed milliuer from Baltimore, and
Miss Lizzie Conner, the saleslady were
at the zienth! of their glory. In front Of
the siure, on he outside, crowds Of peo
pie stood viewing the brilh,ntly-lighted
windows and theirpretty embellishments;
while inside, beneath blaze ofsplendor,
from many lights, the elite of the town
and surro nding country were gathered.

new for Milton The business at this
house has increased one hundred per

giving Z. w. Warren ss his bondsman
for 5000 for his appearance at court This
is not the only ill-mannered boy there is
in Milton. There are many others who
are saucy and evil, particularly to the
aged; aud their actions on the streets lead
one to bell We that at home there is no
restraint had on them nor no care held
over them. The people are getting tired
of the insults of these young ruffians, and
unless their parents take care Of them
and instill some manners into them, it is
likely that s,meohe else will Since
writing the above we understand the suit
has been Withdrawn, giving the impress
sion that the plaintiff thinks Mr.. LoAand
did right in whipping the boy The rest
of US think likewise.
