Storm.-The heavy storm that visited us
on Friday night Of last week, did con-
siderable amount of damage through this
part of the county, washing away bridges
and removing a few hundred loads of dirt
from our roads, landing it into the creek
The lightning struck a tree in the yard Of
Mr.. John p. Mackie, cutting it right square
off, after leaving the tree it took to the
spouting of the house, descending to the
ground, tearing up the porch floor, sleep
damage to the mills along the Elks, but
not as much as might have been expected
from such a heavy rain.
Narroao Escape.-On the morning after
the rain, before daylight, Mr.. John L.
Seminar, narrowly escaped getting drown

from Cowantown to Cherry Hill, on horse
back and the bridge over the race, just
below Scott's mills, being washed away, he
plunged right into the channel and after
washing good distance down the stream
grabbed grape vine and hung on, and
had it not been for the timely assistance OF
Mr.. Howard Scott and others he might
have stayed there until daylight
Crops.-We noticed the peach season
reported as half over down in the lower
end of the county last week, they are fully
week later with us, the season being
now ahout half over Corn looks well and
bids fair for good crop.

This neighborhood was visited by a
refreshing rain on Friday night, 25th ult.
A few miles north of US, the fall was very
heavy, swelling the streams so much as to
cause considerable freshets in the Big and
Little Elk Creeks, which join here and
empty into the Elk River. The wharves
at Elkton were all submerged, and the
water was several inches deep in the yards
of some of the houses on the south side of
Main street, while at the gas-house it
was much deeper. About Il thousand feet
of lumber, belonging to w. McCrery, was
swept away from the wharf at the foot of
Bridge street, and number of boats were
carried off, but we believe all of the latter
were recovered. On Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings last, we had
another pleasant shower. These rains
were much needed, and will enable farm
ers to proceed with their fall blowing.

seems to have proven an unusual seccess.
1t is estimated that twelve hundred people
attended the last evening. Two brass
bands ard string band made music for
the company, "and all went merry as
marriage bell" An incorrigible cynic at
our elbow, who has been reading Pilgrims
Progress, in glancing over the list of at
fractions which made the fair so completely
successful, insists that all church fairs
ought to be named sVanity Fairs" But
if people insist on being cajoled before they
will part with their dollars, they have no
cause of complaint if they are flattered
into support of good object.

hours between Rowlandsville and Colora
stations, Md, Saturday last, by the freshet
caused by the heavy rain which passed over

vious. The small stream running along
between these points became swollen to
heighth of four feet and half above the
ordinary water level, carrying before it
bridges, fences and every movable thing
with which it came in contact. At point
mear Canisius' Saw Mill, where the run
takes short curve towards the railroad
heavy easement OF loose stone (hauled there
by the railroad as protection to the place,
was swept away with some twenty feet of
embankment directly underneath the track
The damage was discovered at an early
hour by the section men, who promptly
notified all approaching trains, and were
soon at work repairing the wash and put
tting the road in running condition. Sew
seral other places along the route had been
washed to a less extent, which likewise
received prompt attention by the railroad
employees, and by noon, Saturday trains
were passing over the road on their usual
time. Nearly every spring house for miles

A Great StOrm.-One of the most terrific
storms Of thunder, lightning and rain
ever known passed over the upper portion
of this county on Friday night, the 25th
ultimo. A number of large trees were
shattered to pieces by the electric fluid,
and three cattle in field near Rising Sun
were instantly killed. Much damage was
done to property along the streams, and
huge gullies were washed in the public
highways, while many bridges were car
ried away. In some instances soil to the
depth of foot or more was flooded from
fields and in one case we heard of an
entire sweet-potato patch floating off on
the tide, to parts unknown. Mills were
seriously interrupted for days following,
and injured to the amount of hundreds Of
dollars. Vivid flashes of lightning, in
rapid succession, kept the heavens in an
incessant blaze, while the startling peals of
earthquke thunder, like discharges of
heavy artillery, shook the houses till the
windows ratified. .@..n -. "'

"A New York contempory delving into
that inexhaustible mine, the Ninth Census
estimates the population of the United
States ain 1880 at forty eight millions
This recalls to recollection the estimate of
that able and accurate statistician, Mr..
Samuel Ruggles, Of the population in 1900
Without growing enthusiastic or hyper
bolic in the least, this gentleman calmly
stated that after the most careful calculation
he believed the population of the country
thirty years hence would be, in round num-
bers seventy-fve millions. This estimate
did not embrace any annexed States, but
was confined solely to the United States,
and points to future power and wealth
greater than that of any existing or past
empire.
