From Baltimore County.

A Letter to the Journal dated
July 10, 1872 says Yesterday after.
noon the barn OF Mr.. Alfred Gent. in
the Eighth District Of this county. was
totally destroyed by fire together with
his entire wheat crop, which had been
stored but few days The barn was
new, and had just been completed a few
weeks ago. The cause OF the fire is
attributed to spontaneous combustion,
as the wheat was stored away in damp
state, which generates gas that is said
to be highly iAaammable. His loss is
estimated between $4,000 aud $4,000,
aud no insurance.
Mr.. Richard Perine on last Saturday
hight little, after 10 o'clock, while
passing through Chew's woods 90 the
outskirts of Towsoitown, ieIl down an
embankment some fifteen or twenty feet
high, aud broke his left arm. The
fracture was set BY DR. Jarrett, of this
place.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. John
Hines, while being lowered down a
we'll on the premises of Mr.. Richard
Hughes, about a half mile from this
place, was precipitated to thu bottom, a
distance Of about twenty five feet, by
the breaking Of the rope, und received
fatal injuries, his neck being broken.
and both Of his legs fractured.

The wheat harvest is over; the yield
will not be more than at most one.third.
The late rains have had a saluta.y effect
upon the corn crop, especially the carly
planting. A few more good soaking
rains, in due time, an extra heavy crop
may be expected in this locality. The
oats crop is good, little shorter in the
straw than usual, but we'll filed. Mi.
chael Marsh, the owner Of the Long
Branch farm, his four acre lot OF
Norway, seeded the last Of April, that
averages four feet. One single head
that he plucked, BY actual count, con.
tanned one hundred aud seventy large
sized grains.
Mr.. John b. Chenowith highly re
specied iarmer aged rs years, is very
sick with the erysipelas and not expect.
ed to recover.
The farmers are just finishing seed
ing the largest area in buckwheat ever
planted in this section, to make up for
the short crop Of wheat. Ten. fifteen.
aud some have sown as high as twenty
acres. Seed got very scarce aud high;
but, notwithstanding, D. W. Houck
our enterprising merchant, furnished
all they wanted, some coming as far as
fifteen or twenty miles for it,

North Carolina Election.

The flrst State election this year is
that Of North Carolina, which takes
place oG the first day of August. There
are to be chosen at that election a Gov.
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney
General, Secretary of State, State Treas.
urer, Auditor, Superintendent Of Public
Instruction, Superintendent of Public
Works, aud eight members Of Congress.
II is, therefore, an important election,
not only locally, but in national point
of view, from the fact that it is the
first election that viii be held after the
national conventions have made their
nominations and the campaign for the
Presidency has been inaugurated.
The contest viii be desperate one,
on both sides. Grant cannot afford to
loose, because it is life and death
struggle with him.

nor Morgan, chairman of the National Rad
ical Committee, is reported as having said
that II half million of dollars were need.
ed, it would be forthcoming Large sums
Of money have been raised hy assessment,
and sent to Abbott and Pool to buy votes,
The aggregate Is estimated at $40. 900. -
During tho last sixty days, the United
States Marshal has drawn $685. from
the Treasury, in addition to one hundred
and eighteen thousand dollars previously,
under pretense Of expenses OF the judiciary
which formerly never exceeded five thous-
and dollars year. These facts show the
desperate condition Of the Administration,
and a purpose to win by corrupting the
ballot-box, if that be possible
Secretary Boutwell, and Secretary
DelanO, two Of Grants Cabinet officers,
have gone to North Carolina. beneath
this burning July sun, to speak in be-
halfo Of their master. On the other hand
Senators Thurman, Trambull, Blair, aud
SEIZURE; Governors Walker aud Vance;
and Col. Hinton, Of Va and Gen. Cor
don, of Ga, are canvassing the State
against the Administration.
The Raleigh Nelrs says we do not
believe North Carolina can be carried for
the Radicals by any amount of speaking or
money. Our people in every portion OF
the State seem thoroughly determined to
throw off Radical rule, which is another
name for impoverishment,, outrage ard ruin.
The Washington Patriot says ;-s'In any
event large majority in the Leeis lature,
and six Of the eight members of Congress,
can be counted GU with reasonable certain.
y. The popular vote for Governor may be
affected by local causes, but the prospect Of
the Conservative candidate is cheering"
