CUTTING AFFRAY.-On Saturday evening
last an ARRAY occurred at Mr.. VIM. J. Prices
hotel, on the Magnolia road, in this county,
in which Mr.. Gillcland was severely cut
across the head by Bagley, with sa-
bre. Bagley had become very much intoxi-
Gated, and having been at military parade
was wearing his sabre. Mr.. Gileland and
others, it is said, commenced teasing him,
when he inflicted the blow, as above men
toned. The artery of the temple was sever
ed, and Mr.. Gilleland's condition became o
critical one, from the hemorrhage that en-
sued. Drs. Bouldin and Lee were called,
and upon their arrival succeeded in stopping
the flow of blood, and Mr.. G.. is now out of
danger. No i'll feeling existed between the
parties, and the occurrence is regretted by
each-Mr. e. taking his due share of the
blame.

The BOYS ToURNAMENT.-The boys of
this vicinity, on Saturday afternoon last, to
quite large number, paraded the streets of
the town, gaily and beautifully dressed as
knights, after which they repaired to the
open field south of the village, and engaged
in regular tournament, the fitting being ac-
complished on foot under the chief marshal
ship of Master Henry Fuford. The exercis.
es were commenced at o'clock, and after
q lengthy contest, resulted in favor of the
following knights, in the order named -
Willie Archer, knight of Hazel Dell, who
crowned Miss Mamie Archer, as Queen of
Love and Beauty Collie Stump, who crown
ed Miss Isabelle Archer, Us LIST Maid of Hon
Or; Darius Prigg, who crowned Miss
as I'd Maid of Honor, and Willie Snowden,
who crowned Miss Katie Richardson as 3D.
Maid of Honor.
Mr.. James Lyle, the orator of the day,
deliveed an address to the youthful comba-
tants, and awarded to the first victor prize
of a beautiful lance; to the second pocket
knife, to the third set of gold sleeve buttons
and studs and to the fourth apocket-b book.
Mr.. William p. Hamilton also delivered an
address to the knights, at the conclusion of the
ceremonies. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen of the neighborhood were present,
to witness the sports, and all declared them
selves well pleased on the occasion. The lit
tie ladies' decked with beautiful crowns OF
flowers, carried the Imagination even beyond
the period of knight errantry-back to the
day when fairy queens were said to have
"trinned the green sMard"

THE RAIN ON SUNDAY NrGuT.-Ths
county, in common with large section of
the country, was visited on Sunday last with
n very heavy fall of rain. 1t commenced
quite early on Sunday morning, and contin-
ued throughout the day, with but little in
PERMISSION, and increased in violence at
nightfall, until about three or four o'clock
on Monday morning, when it abated. All
the streams we've swollen beyond their banks,
and much damage was done to the mills,
rs also to the crops and fencing within reach
of the floods On Broad Creek, Mr.. Samuel
McCourtney lost sixteen head of sheep, and
fencing, and much damage was done to his
wheat On Deer Creek, Mr.. James Smithson
had the corn from about twelve acres of
ground, supposed to be about one hundred
barrels, carried away. Mr. James Thomas
lost about twenty barrels of corn. Mr..
George Forwood also lost considerable
quantity of corn, and had his wheat much
injured. In Mr. Robert Forwood's wheat
field, the water stood three feet deep, and
washed the field badly. Miss Martha CAV
ender also lost corn and fencing. These are
confined to nearly one neighborhood
On Bynums and Winters Runs great
damage was done by the washing away of
of corn shocks and fencing The race at the
mill ofFranklin Whitaker, Esq, ON the lust
mentioned stream, we learn, was badly
washed and large quantity of corn and
fencing lost. We have not learned of the
destruction of any of the bridges over these
streams although the abutments of several
have been washed and injured by the flood
The county roads were also much damaged
and washed in some sections. Taken alto
gether, the aggregate damage inflicted by
This food makes it one Of the most disas-
trous that has occurred for many years.
In Baltimore city much alarm prevailed
along the line of Jones Falls, and it was fear.
cd that similar disaster to the flood of July
1868, was about to take place. Fortunately
but little damage was inflicted, although the
streets were completely inundated at one
time. In Philadelphia, along the Schuylkill,
a large amount of property was destroyed by
the flood, and also along the lines of streams
and rivers in New York, Delaware and New
Jersey, involving, in some cases. loss of hui
man life. The storm seems to have extended
from Richmond, in Virginia, to Massachusetts,
and to have been one of themost violent expe-
rienced for number Of years in many sections.

ROLLING GRAIN IN THE SPRING.
If farmers would look at the theory
of rolling the wheat and the rye fields
in the spring, it would be resorted to
much more frequently than it is
Occasionally the winter and spring
have been so favorable to these crops
as not to render it necessary. But
in three seasons out of four it Is nee
essary and doubtless adds considera-
bly, to their productiveness. The
thawings and freezings of the ground,
throwing or spewing out the roots
and exposing them to the drying
winds of February and March, very
seriously affect the grain. Passing a
roller over as soon as the soil is fit to
enter upon, presses back the roots
into their beds, and gives them fair
grip again upon the support on which
the crop must depend. This must
be apparent to every one who will
look at its operation. We have no
doubt that rolling clover fields that
have been badly thrown up by the
frost, would also have most benef-
cial .-[Germantown Tel.
