He is well acquainted with the farmers and people generally here, and is always welcome, as he is of a happy jovial disposition. This year he came here with a party of friends and has had the time of his life for two weeks; until last Friday, when he returned home. On Thursday of last week in company with Parry Ennis, the shoe dealer, William V. Apple proprietors of the marble works in Milford, Louis Chorman, Wilbur Hammond, a farmer near Milford, and R. J. Pumley, of Philadelphia, they made up a fishing party, and went to The fishing banks in the Delaware Bay, in the last chapter, Edwin, with Captain Conrad. When off Slaughter Beach. They assembled and began fishing. In a few hours they had 162 large speckled sea trout and a number of other fish in the hampers of their launch. It was a fine day, and the party was back home before nightfall. The fishing is fine off our shore at this season; but early in the season, the real sport of catching drumfish with hook and line is what attracts the lovers of fishing. With plenty of fruit of all kinds, lots of fish crabs and oysters for the catching of mystery to us why some enterprising man does not advertise the fads and opportunities for having fine summer sport, at an expense but little over what it costs to stay at home. Are we to be lazy? We think not; only the amusement has not been stimulated by practical experience. Mr. Kirkendall came again, it rouses our liver to meet many and do a good. Good Thing for Prof. Brooks. About two hundred pounds. Both are active, healthy, and good members of Milford's society. On Wednesday of last week, there came the second daughter to give them their home, and it weighed 8.5 pounds, or one-ninth the size of the pleasing little mother. Both are doing splendidly. This makes four boys and a pair of girls in their home on. South Walnut The girls were born on the month, and all the children in the month of August. I look upon August as his title. The new daughter is in Frederica Brooks and the all probability is that Brooks will be named. After Licenses. The revenue collector, Harry was in Milford last week for those who had not paid the license for conducting business. The Central Hotel is holding up to make a contest in the phase of the eating house generally known; and that by sale of meals to transient patrons brings the boarding house to the license; but any family orders who are permanent, must be under the license clause.
