found with the vehicle smashed to pieces.

Ill the penitentiary.
D-ought.-The dry weather which has
been experienced south of Chesapeake
City, and especially in Sassafras Neck, for
the past month or six weeks, threatens to
destroy the corn crop of that section and
VIII, we presume, injure somewhat the
peach crop which is just now beginning to
rIpen. The drought has been severe in
Kent, and other counties south of that ON
the Shore. The upper portion of this
county has been blessed with abundant
rains, and the corn and potato crops never
looked finer.

which appear among the officers guarantee
this point-it must prove one of the most
successful Life Insurance Companies in the
country and recommend itself to general ia
