Fine Water at the Shore.

At the mouth Of the MurdeTkill River
there has grown up in the last few
years, settlement of summer sOjOurn-
ers-by-the-sea which have greatly en-
jOyed the reasonable pleasure that the
place affords. Located on the Delaware
bay shore, all in sight of Bowers Beach,
with two steamboats, making two trips
each way weekly between Philadel-
phia and Frederick, this delightful little
place has many admirers, The finest
fish, oysters and game, with the plenti-
full supply Of fresh vegetables at first
cost from the growers, are other advan-
tages but the greatest comfort of all is
the water supply, which comes frQm a
three inch artesian well, put down to
depth of 82S feet by the steam drilling
outfit of Pierce & Carmean, of Milford.
This water is almost chemically pure,
and flows at the rate Of thirty gallons
per minute. 1t is pipsd and pumped
to the cottages by Mr., James H. Sipple,
of Milford Neck, the owner, for a very
moderate charge for the service.
This addition to the little colony
comfort will surely make the place
more popular than ever, and a grow
ing demand will soon be made for the
building sites at that shore. Mr.. James
H. Sipple owns the entire shore, and
leases the sites on very easy terms.

paying one.quarter of their subscription
for stock to the treasurer, Mr.. George

at a meeting held last Tuesday evening
adopted the plans and specifications
submitted for a steamer, and directed
that bids to build the boat be secured
from the various builders according to
the plans. When these are secured,
the contract will be awarded. There is
yet some stock to be disposed of, but
the directors prefer to have it go into
the hands Of our local people, and will
give them the opportunity to get it be-
fore selling it to others. After years of
agitation the CHRONICLE flstters itself
that results have been secured at last,
and that a steamboat on practical lines
will soon be running from Milford to
Philadelphia and Wilmington, and af-
IOrding farmers needed facilities for
