The WHEAT HARvEsr-During the past
week. 'he farmers have been buslly engaged in
their wheat crop, and we presume, by this time
II is nearly all harvested. The harvest is two
or three weeks later this season than usual. and
IN DUCK Creek Hundred the yield is estimated
not to exceed half an average. The wheat has
suffered more in this Hundred, from the rava-
ges or the fly, than in any other section of the
country. We have heard complaint in some
quarters of injuries from blight called "scab"
occasloned ca by the heavy rains, and latterly of
rust In the late wheat, or that of a second
growth. a.s .-.. -, '.

Summer Sickness,

The season, thus far, has been exceedingly
healthy, but, as the probabilities that hot, dry
dusty and sweterng season is now Fastening
uPar us, we may look for greater increase of
mor;llIty resulting from summer diseases; and
oven within the last few days, we have heard of
lseteral cises Of sudden illness in our tewn.-
All ioud be on Their guard, in most cases
Il r.:us from imprndence. On the frst page
OF - r.,u, will ae found an article under the
A.sd uf :" FRUITS in Sualner," which contains
.nHeh Ip sormation in regard to their use. Pre-
Ventives and curatlves are just now quite rea-
ronabie subjects for consideration. The follow
ing recipe for the cure of diarrhea, was lately
communicated by correspondent of the Au-
gasIa Erening Dispatch:
"Take handful of strawberry leaves aud
pour On them half pint of boiling water; let
u remain one hour, and drink the tea. If you
cannot get the boiling water, chew, and swallow
the juice. This is most valuable and efficient
remedy. 1t rarely fails to give immediate re-
hef, and performs permanent cure"
Life Illustrated endorses the above with the
remark that an infusion in cold water would do
quitea well.

FiC-NISsr-E'ery part of the year has its
season for social pleasure, and this is empbati-
eally the season of Pic-Nics. Our city papers
are hlled with accounts of them, from this or
that Sunday School, or neighborhood /; and the
slme may almost be said Of our country papers.
'oO' Tor IN nearly every one we pick up we find
picnic the most prominent Such affairs
when properly conducted, are delightful and
beneficial. Confinement, and hard labor amidst
piles OF brick and mortar, when the mercury
ranges in the nineties, are too much for moor
humanity without relaxation nor can it be
wondered at that young and old seek the shady
grove with its birds, and flowers, and fragrant
breeEes. To the Juvenile portion of the popu-
iail2n who, for long months, are shut up in
heated rooms amid dry studies, with little or no
opportunity for recreation, such occasion must
afford inexPressible seasons Of happiness. Nor
are such pleasures confined to inhabitants of
towns alone. Those accustomed to the boasted
pleasures Of country life need their seasons,of
relaxation frsm labor and social intercourse
10 the young, these occasions are as schools in
which PrOpermanners and profrieties are learn
ed, and individual peculiarities discovered and
corrected There are. however, pc-nics for
various kinds of enjoyment, aud various opin-
iona IN regard to their propriety, as seen from
different moral points of view. .-.-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ELKrnN The store
house of Mr., jacob B. Ash on the corner o
North and Back streets, in this town, together
: WIN large portion of it's contents were de.
stroyed by fire on the night of Tuesday, the
tth INST. Two boys were sleeping in a'room
up STAIRS and were with difficulty aroused in
TIME to save their lives. They went to bed
about 10 o'clock, andrlhe fire did not originate
IN their room. The building was insured for
4 $500 and the contents of The store at $4,000,
m the Mutual Insurance company of Cecil
county.--Cecil Wing. .Al ..
In giving place to the above item, we would
take occasion to make several suggestions re-
sPecting fires which may be worth remember
ing. ~'t
Every town and village should have an, eff
cient fire apparatus. This should consist of
one or more engines kept in convenient place;
and, In order to know that it is always in work |
ing condition, it should be used at lea st once a
week. The hose should be well CREASED once
a month, and hung up (not reeled). where it
may be kept dry and yet have free circulation
OF air about it. In this way, it will last longer
and will be always soft and piabe. In addi.
ton to this, there should be set of ladders
and hooks to be used only in case of fire
These hooks should be strongly made and se-
curel7 fastened to long poles; it would be bet
ter to have coil of strong rope to one of them,
IN addition to the pole. If the fire is in frame
building, and likely to communicate by sparks
Or cohtlguity to the surrounding property, it t
had better be pulled down at once. This can {
De done, generally, in about fifteen minutes t
BY this means, fire may be easily brought un- O
Ter control and subdued, which might other
wise soon become unmanageable and very de- r.
tructive. 6
The best position for the engine is upon the o.
'lndward side of the fire, which may be more nj
losely approached on that side than on snv
ther; there may be, however, at times, strong h,
easons for choosing another position If -,
urning building must be entered, we may, by =,
rawling with the face near the floor, pass
trough the densest smoke; silk handkerchief .;
oubled over the mouth and nostris will answer
early the same purpose. ne
In extinguishing fires we should always work q;
ON below. That is if the second and third
ories are burning, throw the water in the "A
cond story first, and when the fire is subdued g,
ere' go to the story above. The very reverse
this usually Practiced by inexperienced fire. 6r
en- but 1t is always at a sacrifice of time and os
Dor as we'll as waste of water
Above all, keep cool,-don't give way to
ght' be self-possessed, or everything you
may be done wrong. A frightened man is ne n
t worth much in an emergency. Be as active Of ,f'
possible but avoid, as far as may be, alarm nc
d confusion. sui

lMPRoyEMENT.--The members of the Episco.

wise greatly improving their church in this
