At Old Slaughter Beach.

The season is opening well for this
old and popular resort. Every after.
noon and evening the shore is crowded
with farmers, lads and lassies, and
others watching the fishermen land
their nets. More strangers than usual
have come this season to witness the
fishing; which is indeed a sight to
those who have never seen sea trout
hauled up by the scores Of bushels.
A bOunteOus and timely rain has
fallen this week. and the farmers feel
jubilant that they are now assured Of
good crops Of peas, wheat asd grass.
Arrangements have been made to
have the public road around the Brick
Granery improved while the work of
building the new bridge by Mr.. Abbott
is in progress next week. The bridge
will be off all Of next week, and it will
be a goUd time to work the road. This
will make the road fine between Mil
ford and Slaughter Beach.

As An Instance Of Benefit.


In collecting the tax for cutting the
new canal across the Slaughter Neck
marches, William I. Simpson has had
several experiences, and one Of the most
striking is the result of price value OF
marsh land since that canal has been
completed. Before, it was rare that a
piece Of marsh land would sell for more
than three dollars per acre but a lady
who refused to pay the taxes assessed
against her for the work, permitted the
marsh to be sold and, much to her
surprise, it brought eight dollars per
acre paying all taxes and leaving her
a snug money pile in addition. Previ-
GUS to the canal going through, the
marsh had no revenue earning power,
but now it is Of value. Where two
ago there was fourteen inches
Of water on FOwler's causeWay, it can
now be walked over in pair of slippers
wetting the feet.

Steamer Wilson Makes Fast Trip.

The steamer John P. Wilson has
proven to be the fastest steamer running
up the Delaware Bay, having made
the run from Bowers to Philadelphia
in five and one-half hours, which is by
far the best time ever made between
these points, and the company is con-
fident that with favorable cOnditians
the boat can make the run in five hours.
Persons wishing to visit the city,
either for pleasure or business, will find
a trip by this route q cheap, quick and
delightful one. The accommodations
are first-cIass and the pleasant sea
breeze is delightful at this season.
The freighting facilities are also
worthy of consideration. In addition
to the advantage OF low rate, fruits
and vegetables are delivered to Phils-
delphia markets quick and in fresh
condition, and bring the highest mar
ket price.
Our merchants can order goods on
the days the steamer leaves Philadel.
phia and have them in their place Of
business early the following merning
1t is hoped that the public will con-
slider and appreciate these facts and the
offered them and favor this
handsome new iron steamer with their
both with passengers and
freight.

The School ReeItaI.

For several years past, one Of the most
pleasing features Of the commencement
season has been the School Musicale,
the program OF which is furnished al.
most entirely by pupils of the public
school. This at once serves to exhibit
the work Of the school, furnishes a most
enjoyable entertainment, and adds a
snug sum to the school library fund.
This year the program will be more
varied than usual, and, judging from
reports, will not fall below the high
standard Of former years. Besides the
usual ehoruses, in which all grades of
the school are represented, some special
attractions will be offered. The fact
that Mrs. Hynson has had charge of
two piano duets to be given at that
time, assures their excellence. The
second part Of the program will be
made interesting by a farce, 1.-THE Fly
ing Wedge, " to be givin by High School
students. 1t is sufficient to say that
they have been trained by Miss Nafe.
Miss Margaret HarmOnsOn, q talented
elOcutiOnist OF Berlin, Md, will make
her debut in Milford, appearing twice
on the program. By debsrring encoTes,
an effort will be made to keep the pro-
gram within proper limits as to length.
This Recital will be given in Armory
Hall, Thursday evening. May 25th.
25 and 35 cents. The pro-
ceeds will be turned over to the school
Over fifty volumes, some Of
them expensive, have been added to
the library this year, and the books are
soon to be placed in a set of fine Sec
tiOnal book cases. Good works of refer |
ence, however, are still lacking. Every
one should help the library by attend
ing this Recital, and thus secure at the
same time a splendid evenings enter
tainment.

came from a Mrs. Lizzie Tompson, of
Goshen, Cape May county, New Jersey,
i'll which she makes inquiry for a rela-
tive or relatives residing ia Delaware

of David Townsend, who went from
Delaware to New Jersey, and she is the
only living descendant. She thinks that
q relative, now growing old, resides in
Delaware, and who was once in the
coal business, and that his name is
either Samuel or David Townsed. Who
knows any Townsend likely to be a
member Of the family.

War On Telephone Poles.

An extension Of the telephone line
down McCOlley street to Front, in South
Milford, has resulted in trouble. Two
poles were put on the property Of Will
liam Roach, one Of which was very un-
slightly, and to which he objected. 1t
was found last Saturday that some
person had sawed the pole off, so that
it had to be replaced. The linesmen
had dug the hole for the new pole OF
Saturday afternoon, when Mr.. Roach
appeared on the scene and objected ;
but no attention was paid to his pro-
tests, and he took position in the hole,
thus preventing the erection Of the
poles. The matter was finally placed
in the hands Of lawyers for settlement.

The rains that have fallen during the
present week have been OF great value
to the farming community Of Delaware

far enough advanced to reset in the
fields have also availed themselves Of
this rain period to get them cut.
