Easter morning dawned sulky and petu-
liant and until time for church services Ai'eI-
mated with Sunshine and shadow, with oceas-
ional showers OF rain. We had planned
walk for the morning, into the eountry'IhAI
we might behold the resurrection OF spring
from the death Of winter. and view the swell
ing buds and peeping flora symbolic Oh the
grander resurrection Of man. But on &C.
count OF the incemency of the weather We
were oblidged to forego the pleasure perhaps
the clinic and over orthodox thought the
weather man had, purpOsely. given as such
a morning TO prohibit the ladies from wear
ing their new Easter hats. II such were
their thoughts they were sadly mistaken; for
when meeting was called they came Win
their various styles and shapes much TO the
admiration OF the beholders, and the credit OF
the MiltoL millinery. The Milton Me Church
had its traditional trimming OF fexotics, and
nh aff "
the Revs. Coursey and Hooker, and the Rev.
Alfred Smith, OF Dover. Rev. Smith announ-
ced the first hymn, and offered the opening
payer Rev. Courgey preached the sermons
taking for his text, He is not here he is
risen as be said, come see the place Where
the Lord lay" The choir did It's best IN sing
ing the Casters Anthems, and the Rev. Cour'
sey beat himselfin handling his subject The
meeting closed with a regular hand shaking
and prayer and benediction by Rev. Hooker.
Rev. Alfred Smith delivered temperance
sermon, at the NJ. E. Church Sunday evening.
Miss Annie Manship, Of Philadelphia, spent
Easter in town.
Representative OF the Philadelphia and At
laptic Transportation Company met a few
OF the citizens OF Milton, in Firemen's Hall,

In nut on a boat Of, about my tons burden
10 transport the freight and passengers from
Milton. and connect with larger boat TO ply
from Lewes via Cape May to Philadelphiai
and in order to do this ait is necessary for
Milton people to take stock in the enterprise
and lust here It ended. II is hardly worth
their time fol- anyone to preach steamboat to
Milton people. Not just yet
william Wolf OF Laurel, administrator OF
DIR. Daivd K. Wolfe deceased, has had the
land Of his brother surveyed. DR.. Wolfe, in
his will bequeathed all of his property, to
RoderIck Reynolds; but, doubts are enter
tanned In the minds OF many, as 10 the de-
ceased's competency 10 make u Will, while in
his natural health, and condition. II is I'M
dersteod the brother OF the deceased has Of
fered to allow Mr.. Reynolds tract Of 2O1
acres Of land, and One-half OF the personal

It is with regret the people Of Milton part
with the Rev. G. J. Hooker, the Mp. Minister
who has been removed from this town 10

man, and during his pastorate here, OF one
year, has endeared himself to the hearts Of
the people, not only to those Of his swn
church, but, TO those Of all the churchs, and &c
the many who ofiiliate with no church.
