Educational Matters.

The various schools and colleges
throughout the country are in full
swing now and a great many of them
report larger attendance with greater
interest and enthusiasm among the
students than ever before. Mr.. w. H.
Beacon, the proprietor Of the Whining
ton Business School, Wilmington, Del.
aware, seems particularly well pleased
with the outlook.
Mr., BeacOm's schoc is very different
fiom the ordinary so-called Business
College" The staff, or organization,
and equipment are among the best in
the country. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bea-
com aIe interested in educational work
aid both take an active part in the
teaching oil their students. They have
done such excellent work that it is no
wonder the school has grown and pros
yered so materially. They have the
proud distinction Of never having lost
1 student through dissatisfaction and
he still prouder distinction of assisting
heir students in such thorough and
PRACTICAL manner that not one w. B S.
'raduate has failed. A number Of our
'oung people have been in attendance
t this school in previous years, and

Dog Thieves.

At this season there are many hunt.

State; bat Harry Bickel, of Milford
Neck, has had a unique experience in
this line. He lost valuable rabbit dog
last week, and earnest search failed to
find him. On Saturday morning the
dog returned with collar and chain to
its neck, and on the collar was fastened
a tag with the address of New Jersey
parties on it. Evidently the dog escaped
from the person who stole it; or was
shipping it away. Mr.. Bickel would be

the Good Roads Movement.

The question as to how the money is
to be used which is raised by special ol
extra tax upon the tax payers of Milford
hundred for the improvement of the
roads therein, is one of interest and i'm
portance, in that it will serve either to
incite future efforts in like direction or
to provoke antagonism thereto.
The proposition to raise this extra
81, 900 for road purposes met with general
favor because it was taken for granted
that the benefit would be general, and
that all parts of the hundred would share
in said improvement in just proposition;
that is to say that this sum of s., 1000,
$4,000 from extra tax and the 81 900
from State) would be placed in the hands
OF the various overseers to be used by
them in their respective districts. This
would seem to be reasonable and Just.
Instead of this disposition of it, 1 am in
formed that it is proposed thar the entire
sum is to be spent upon short extern
sion of the road leading out Walnut
street toward the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
Said extension to be of such expressive
as to be altogether imprac-
ticable for general road making in farm
ing section.
If the purpose be to demonstrate what
can be done b. use of macadam, this is
already served by the streets of Milford,
with which all of our farmers are famil-
ar and which are known to be too ex-
oensive for adoption for county roads. {
Would it not be much more practical
o demonstrate in an intelligent way
What can be done by native material, in
Ising the clay, gravel, sod, &C., which =
les on or adjecent to every section of b
Dad in the hundred, than to spend this
um, contributed by all the taxables Of
he hundred, in the improvement of a ii
hort section in some favored locality, to
e used by small percentage Of the II
tizens. q
I IcOntend that though this sum Of 50, 900 v,
ay not be sufficient to put the roads of
le hundred in good condition, it will
uch better serve the purpose than will
e rumored proposed use Of it; and fur pr
er that if wisely used in this way will II
courage further like attempts.
Before reaching final conclusion I Sc
'uld ask that this matter be given con- o..
leFation, and wish to state that this is III
blic money and should be expended th
on the principle of the greatest good me
the greatest number" This principle y, -,
e taxpayers have the right to expect
d insist upon, and should it not be so str
pended then the tax should be abated !

Eminent Speakers At NJ. E. Church.

Last Sunday at the Avenue M. E.
Church there was an all-day's service,
which was very largely attended. In
the morning the special attraction was
the sermon of Bishop Foss of that de-
nomination, who delivered a sermon
which is said by many of those who
were in attendance to be the best SER
mon ever delivered in this town. 1t is
said that it is very difficult for any
town Of this size to secure the services
of Bishop FOss, and since such is true,
the people Of this town and community
should congratulate themselves that
they were able to get such talent here
on last Sabbath. In the afternoon the
Sunday School rendered an elaborate
program which was delightfully."- re-
ceived. In the evening the church was
crowded to OveraOwing because it had
been announced that Chief Justice Lore
would address the assemblBge. The
address of Judge Lore was fine, ana
pronounced by many who have heard |
him before, as being one Of his very
best efforts. The music Of the choir, as
Mr.. Lollis Queen of Frederick,
was a decided success.
