THE AIR OF MILFORD. A Scientific Kxnmlnntlon of Its Properties. Its Vaporlftlinsfls, Snonronlty nnd Gen rm (lasltifsw Critically ConUlered. A Careful Analysis After John Marshall, m. n. There has teen no question raised as to the purity or sumciency ot that colorless, tasteless, odorless gas which surrounds and per meates our lovely village, but, to allay the suspicious which might possibly arise in the minds of any unwary porson who has ' stood too long on a corner with his mouth dis tended and thereby caught an air colicus we have interviewed an eminent authority on -the subject with perfectly satisfactory results, and are pleased to place them before our readers. Professor have you ever analyzed the atmospherio air with which our people are supplied? Oh, yss I have made several analy ses particularly of bag fulls drifting over to us from Jersey, and several coming from the dir.x;tion of Scho- copee. 1 found thorn composed. mainly of nitrogon and oxygen with occasionally an intermingling of the extract of Mephitis Americana, and small quantities of Aqueous Vapor. Carbon Dioxide is also pre?tent,but this may be attributed to the com bustiou of campaign Hnvanas, res piration after imbibing freely of a plant of the genus allium, ond hop water, and may be detected by pass ing the air through a solution of barium hydroxide.or taking a quanti ty in your nostrils. Ammoniacal gas sometimes ap pears which is especially noticeable in the spring when your neighbor dumps tho contents of his collar and a lot of chicken feathers in your al ley or back yard and you are ob liged to bum them. Sulphurotted hydrogen is also present, particu larly about the time of a Democratic caucus or convention, and it is also a remarkable fact that at such times it will have a harmless but pro nounced tint of blue. Sulphurous anhydride is always present, and may result from street corner arguments. It is physically inoffensive but morally nauseating. Nitric, acid and ozone are present in small quantities. They may be discovered by having a mule place his hind foot in proximity to your corporosity, and they will turn milk sour. Professor, it is genorally un derstood that Milford air is color loss, now will you state as clearly as your present condition will permit, the distinction between clear and colored air ? Wojl, if you closely observe the air over a glass cylinder approaching a horizontal position, partially filled with a substance from which aqua pura has been carefully eliminated, at first the air will appear perfectly pellucid, but repeated experiments of this character will soon cause it to seem sfumato, gradually chang ing to roseate, and lights will mira culously double themselves and dance like dervishes. This is a dan ger signal, and means that it is high time to take a wulk in the open where you can procure plenty of f resh air. Soft soap is frequently introduced at such seances especially if you are accompanied in your observations by a candidate. Professor, does air ever solidify ? Well, it sometimes approaches to a miraculous thickness and density, which grows more palpable as the consumption of limburgor, pretzels, and wet goods increase. Professor, does Milford air possess any medicinal qualities ? From the perfectly transparent character of our air generally, as above demonstrated.we could hardly expect them to be pronounced. I may saloly say, However, tnat an air diet for twelve hours or even loss will induce a state of saporosity wonderful in proportions. I can as sort further without fear of success ful contradiction that no native of, or visitor to, Milford has ever sur vived who did not constantly con tinue its use. Professor, as between water and air, which do you consider most ne cessary for the promotion of health or the prolongation of a material ex istence ? Vol! I know men who seldom if ever use water oxcopt for bathing pnrposos, and little for that, who are hale and hearty specimens to day and may be seen on our streets, living testimonials of tho fact, but I have never known any person to discontinue tho use of air and sur vive the experiment. Is thore any thing else Professor that you aire to add? ' .'. ' , ; Yes, said the learned Professor his nose glowing with zeal. I think it high time we take a little spiritus frumenti. 5000 copies of the paper contain, ing the above interview are on draught, and can be had ' for the phenomenally low sum of 5 cents each by Hotel keepers and others who de 4re to advertise the glorious air of Milford.

J., who has been boarding for sometime with George Haas in Sho hola township, was found dead on the shore of Brink Pond lost Friday morning. He was troubled with heart disease and was accustomed to go to the pond to bathe his feet as he thought this gave relief. Not re turning to his boarding place Thurs day evening search was made and he was found lying on the shore, dead, next morning. Heart failure is attributed as the cause. He was aged 43 years. Coroner Geiger was summoned but on learning the facts did not deem an inquest necessary. The re mains wore taken to Hoboken for interment by a brother of the de. cease last Saturday. Illg Peach Crop In Sight. There is every prospect now that the poach crop this year will exceed tho one of two years ago, when something like 9,000,080 baskets of fruit were shipped from Delaware The growers estimate that the crop will be fully this large, while others say it may run as high as another million and probably two, provid ing nothing attacks tho trees be tween now and plucking timo, and the farmers are not looking for any such calamity. In Kent county, Md.. which is a comparatively small peach belt, the crop is estimated by old growers' to reach about 1,000,000 baskets. Killed by Lightning. During a heavy shower at Easton Monday evening Goo. Miller,agod IB, a son of John Miller, the florist, re siding on Paxmosa Heights, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. He ond a companion were caught in the storm and sought shol ter under a cherry tree. The bolt struck Miller on the head, ran round his shoulder and entered his body above the heart. It then came out again and ran down his lelt side, tearing a portion of flosh out of his leg. His companion wa rendered unconscious by the fluid. Free Press. Kleked by a Horse. Willie J., the seven-yoar-old son of Liveryman Jacob Van Tassel.was severely injured last Friday, being kicked by one of his father's horses The blow took effect on his forehead making a wound which necessitated seven stitches. Fortunately the stroke was a glancing one lacerating the flesh only and not injuring the skull. It was a very close call how ever. Dr. Wenner rendered medi cal aid and the boy is recovering nicely. A Miulug Man Found. Lsaac Slutter, a young man, who lias been missing from his home near Sciota, this county, for gome weeks past, was found in a flold near Reading, Pa., one day lost week, nearly dead from hunger and exiws- ure.
