On Friday night last portions of this
county were almost submerged in water,
causing the several streams to raise
suddenly. The bridge over Big Pipe
Greek, at Dutrer's Mill, was carried
away, also the one at Roop's Mill. The
water in Big Pipe Creek rose as high as
the third rail Of the fence, which is on
an embaukment two feet above water
level. This storm is the most violent
that has visited the upper portion of
this county for years, and the quantity
of rain is supposed to exceed that of
last Fall which proved so disastrous in
Freedom District. We learn that
several corn fields were entirely ruined,
and that the wheat, oats aud grass were
considerably damaged.
HoucksUilee Hems.-A letter from
Houcksyille, dated June Sd, says -
About 4 o'clock on Sunday morning
last, a very heavy thunder storm passed
over this place. The lightning struck
the rod attached to the barn OF z.
Ebaugh Esq, about half a mile from
this town and followed the rod to the
ground, tore up the earth and killed a
valuable COW which was in the barn at
the time.
The prospect for bountiful harvest
continues, though there has been more
rain than seemed necessary. We have
noticed number of fields Of wheat in
head aud out in full bloom. The time
has now arrived in which clear weather,
light winds and bright sunshine are
needed.

the advertising columns Of the Adpocate
before doing SO. Every branch Of bus.
mess is fully represented in this paper,
and those who have bargains are sure
to advertise them. Our merchants
have fi,e stocks, and take great pride
in giving them Publicity by advertise.
ment. For those who do not advertise
we cannot speak. The best way is to
read the advertisements and look after
such articles as are advertised. Read
the advertisements; you may thereby
save on the purchase Of a single bill Of

Frederick and Pennsylcania LINE
Raizroad.-The contract for the grad.
uation aud masonry for the entire line
Of this road has been given out, but
work will not be commenced until after
the 10th Of July, which will allow the
farmers along the route to save their
crops. We understand that DIR. vii.
liam Reindollar and Samuel Smith, Of

York Road Station, on the Western
Maryland Railroad, to the Pennsylvania
Line, and Messrs. Gender & Son, from
York Road Station to Woodsboroush in
Frederick county, and NJ. McCabe from
Woodsborough to Frederick city.
Closing Early.--We notice in many
Of our country exchanges that the mer-
chants have determined to close their
stores at Z o'clock, p. NJ, in order to
give their clerks time for recreation -
This is a commendable movement, and
while nothing is lost, much is gained,
as those who are employed in the stores
will be much more fitted for duty after
healthful recreation; besides. kind
policy by the employer towards the en-
ploycd secures more ready acquies-
cence in the duties required by the for
mer Of the latter.
The Crops.-From the most reliable
sources we learn that the wheat Of our
