be kept on hand by farmers preventive, as
1t is always well TO be prepared for an emergen-
Icy.

| ing to uuhitch pair of horses from carriage
at his residence IN Christiana village last Friday
| evening, one Of them turned round suddenly,
| knocking him senseless and almost taking the
end OH one of his fingers Had not the
| coachman caught the horse, the damage might
possibly have been more serious A physician
was called In and dressed the wounds Of Mr.. o.
who will soon be all right again.

oncc; matter how bad they may be, 1t relieves
quickly. 1t Is used inwardly and applied outwardly

| COnralesceat.--JohnO cheltree who had his
| hand accidentally shot of while visiting the
| residence Of his son near Centreyille, few
weeks ago, has so far recovered as to be able To
/ return 10 his home. lie is between seventy
| and eighty years Of aye, and his power TO sur
| vive "A wound of such serious character, Is
| rather remarkable. His recovery Is an evidence
/ of the skill of the Drs. Chandler, as well as OF
strength of col st,,uton resnlting from industry
and sobrety.
| ReDtdhfs.-A few of the corn fields in this
| County present rather backward appearance.
| Among the number is that on the farm near
| Newark, belonging to city merchant. Some
of the neighbors are disposed to have some sport
| over the matter, and iocularly express some
anxiety in regard TO the price Of re-pants, and
the costs of carrying the crop over to next sea-
son. Not only city merchants however, but
some regularly bred farmers, have the prospect
of ltlle-corn, unless the late rains should have
almost miraculous effect.
Large FunefM.-The funeral of ia mes Arm
strong of Chrstiana Hundred, took place at st.
James Church, near Stanton. on Saturday, and
was very largely attended, lie having a large
circle of relatives and friends, and possessing
the esteem Of every mali In the neghbclhood
The funeral service was performed by Rev
Bishop Lee in the solemn form of the Episcopal
| Church. and the occasion was marked by a de-
gree Of feeling that will long be remembered by
all who were present. Mr.. Armstrong was just
Ill lnp pTlIt VI usu LIS ucCtaSe - severity
felt by his immediate family and friends, and
he is indeed loss to the neighborhood.
| Rain.-We had fine rains last Saturday, Sun
day and Monday, which wet the ground thor
oughly, and some what cooled the atmosphere.
They came just IN time to aid the growing
corn, and potatoes and rejuvenate the dying
grass. The drought i, now at an end, We pro-
sumo, and thenceforth we hope to have no occa-
sion to complain of want Of moisture or vegeta-
ton suffering from excessive heat. The rains
were pretty general, extending over the State,
aud also Jersey and Pennsylvania. The streams
we're greatly swollen, and In some places con-
siderable damage was sustained. In Philadel
was feared that they would have to come down,
aud at one time it was thought that the Far
mount bridge would be washed away.
Foundlinq.-A basket was found setting
on the stops of Edward II. Jefferis, No. 5l0
Washingto on street, last Tuesday morning,
containing an infant, some day or two DID,
!. 1t was neatly dressed, bottle was placed
by its side, and was well covered by blan
r ket Some one suggested to Mrs. j. Fine
gan that she should take it and raise it, but
as it had not been deposited on her steps,
che declined. Mr. Jefferis was away from
home with his f,mily, and of course his
wishes could not be consulted A gentle
man finally proceeded to the City Hall, no
J tilted the police, when one of them went and
! took it to the Hall. TWAS afterwards taken
to lady in Orange street, who provided fol
its wants, until home could be procured
forit.
: Fair Prices.-Cows with calves sold at tn,
$ sale of James Sawdon, Jr at Newport, on Mon
day last, at prices ranging from $40 to S75 each
o and oxen at $3.50 per pair. These seem prett,
fair prices for this season of the year and yet tn
s owner complained that he and Mr.. Syringe
| had gone seventy-fve miles and paid as much G
: had been obtained for the better cows, and con
:. sequently there was but little encouragement o.
i profit in the business, Mr.. StIdham remarke,
that he travelled too far he thought that as goo
Q cows could be purchased nearer home at thu
r same price Or even little less. This shows tia
4 success In almost any kind Of business depend
d OH buying at low figures. We hope howeve
r that acting upon this hint, Mr.. s., will find tn
n next sale more profitable. The farmers of Ian
o caster and York counties must reduce their Zig
y ures or hold their cows over until next season
