How an ElktOn Man Killed His Rats

How an Elkt0n Man Killed His Rats
An Elkton man was troubled with rats,
and hearing that rats were fond of clans,
he procured some of these bivalves, and
after opening the shells, sprinkled them
with arsenic and placed them where the
rats would find them. In week after he
had moved out and was living in tent,
and carrying water from spring, while
carpenters were tearing up the floors and
well digger examining the well. Seven
dead rats were found under the house and
three in the well. His bill for mechanics
and Chord of lime was 500. He made
the following entry in his family account
book after taking possession of the reno
waited premises: "To killing ten rats at
$40 each, S100."

Rev. Mr.. Johns has returned from his
Western trip, and is again attending his
pastoral duties. He is looking well, and
we hope his journey has proved beneficial,
and recuperated both mind and body. His
charges and numerous friends extend him
cordial welcome home.
The potato bug has come at last and is
quite a harmless looking, playful "ani-
mile,' but he's one of the bugs. 1t affords
healthful recreation and exercise for people
to go "bugging before church, on Sunday
mornings.
The bet to which we recently referred, as
being undecided, is no longer "sub judice,"
the wedding being announced in your last
issue, and the happy couple, having pre-
scented themselves before the admiring and
critical gaze of the assembled throng at
the NJ. E. Church here, last Sabbath morn
ing.
Strawberry season is about over, and
other small fruits are rapidly ripening.
The persons so fearful of the starvation
of young friend of ours near here, need
not keep their kind, charitable and Christian
hearts in agony any longer, for we happen
to know that he will make living.

FAILURE oE THE PEACH CRoP.-Private
advices from the peach orchards of Della
ware and Maryland not only confirm the
forebodings expressed by the Growers
Convention, which met at Dover recently,
they go so far as to give assurance of an
almost utter failure of the crop. Middle
town, Delaware, the largest shipping sta
ton on the Peninsular road, which usually
sends half million baskets to market,
will not have $4,000, and even these will
consist mainly of the earliest variety. The
usual line of boats out of the Sassafras
river, which drains the Maryland peach
counties, will be discontinued, and similar
reports from all the orchards show that
hardly tenth of a crop will be shipped.
This is the second disastrous year to these
farmers, and many of them are beginning
to feel, by bitter experience, the impolicy
of putting all their hopes upon a single
venture. The peach, as ripened in this
favored section, is of so fine a flavor and
comes to so great perfection that when
there is a fair yield the profits are very
large. But the Peninsular husbandman
has of late years been tempted by the gilt
tering promises which the possession of
large orchards extends, and has set his
corn and wheat fields in peach trees
To say nothing of the years of probation
which are required before the trees arrive
at sufficient maturity to bear fruit, it is
frequently the case that the entire bud
ding fails, and then Of course the time of
the harvest comes and goes, leaving the
granaries empty and no resource to the
farmer but the mortgage or the forced sale.
The wisdom of having diversity of crops
in an agricultural country cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the tillers of the
soil, and if the hard experiences which the
Peninsular farmers are now going through
result in deterring others from planting
more orchards, and in causing a partial
return to the raising of the great staple
| cereals, the misfortune will not be wholly
without virtue.-Press.

1t Is Said.

1t is said there are places in Elkton and
elsewhere selling without license; but that
there is no law to stop them till the grand
jury shall find bills against them. This
seems to me to be very queer law, or rather
omission of law. 1t was stated sometime
ago that we were to have list of the
licensed sellers in the county published.
Did all take licenses in consequence of that
warning, Or did the Ring put its foot
on that little innovation? 1t is a common
practice in other States. 1t is said, that
only about three fourths Of the taxes of
this town are paid annually-that no one
is ever compelled to pay, to cover which
list of insolvencies there is high rate of
tax levied every year. How is this? If it
is not so, it will not cost the Bailiff much
to say SO. 1t has been in circulation for
years.

Extracts from q Private Letter,

FROM LADY RESIDING AT AN INDIAN
AGENCY, IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
"We have a school here to which many
Indian children 60. They learn to spell,
and read, and sing. Since we came here
they have been taught number of Sab
bath School songs-such as Gather at the
River,' Gone more Hymn" &c. They
really seem to enjoy singing. On Sunday
we have Sabbath School in the morning;
in the evening religious services are held
in our house which the Indians are punct-
ual in attending. Indians have a great
deal of curiosity. No matter how often
they come in the stockade during the
day, they make the circuit round, peer
ing into each and every window, often
remaining at one window an hour at
time; but there is one thing l doubt we
can never teach them, and that is habits
of cleanliness. They like white peoples
clothes, and white peoples food, but l
dom think they will learn to observe white
woman's Monday-wash day. This to
them is superf1uous work. Now in warm
weather they need but little clothing; in
deed if they have string of beads round
their necks, that is all the clothing neces-
sary.
Willie seems to enjoy the Indian boys
society as we'll as he did that of his little
companions in town.
The valley in which this agency is To-
Gated is one of the prettiest spots 1 have
seen in the territory. Not far from the
stockade is the Teton river in which is
plenty of fish l often go fishing, but
have never as yet caught any mountain
trout, but my rewards have been suckers
still the fun of going is just as good with
out any fish, as though we caught plenty.
There are five families here besides our
own and this makes it quite pleasant, not
withstanding we are one hundred miles
from civilization"

Violent StOrm.-A storm of great vio-
lence passed over this county on Thursday
evening last, which did considerable dam
age. The course of the storm was from
northwest to southeast, and the town of
Elkton appears to have been the centre of
its track. The tempest apparently was
not more than mile in width, as east and
west of the town half mile distant the
wind was not more than an ordinary gust
About 81 o'clock it rose to a hurricane
swapping the shade trees in the streets like
reeds. The FELTON, House, on the corner
of Bow street, near the depot, kept by Mr..
Clemson, was entirely unroofed-the roof
being raised thirty or forty feet above the
building and carried to the corner of Bow
and High streets, where the greater part
of it was deposited in the yard of Mr.. John
Hogg, in its flight, passing over the dwell
ings of P. G. Strickland and W. Alrich.
One of the large willow trees in the yard
of the National Bank was snapped off
few feet from the ground and laid across
Main street. The tops Of many of the
shade trees are much broken, one of the
flying branches carrying away the sign
over the front gate Of DR.. Tull, which he
says he doesn't mean to replace; and the
streets the next morning were blocked in
all directions with large branches torn
from the trees on the sidewalks. Great
havoc was made among the trees in the
lawn of Mr.. Bratton, on east Main street;
one of the naples being torn up and
hurled thirty or forty feet from the spot
where it grew.
At Holly Hall, Mr.. Barroll's residence,
several large trees in the lawn were demol-
ished, and in the track of the storm the
wheat in shock and stack was generally
blown and scattered about the fields. The
growing corn is injured considerably, the
largest of it being snapped off at the
ground. The peach aud apple orchards in
the track of the storm have suffered severe
ly, many of the trees being entirely de-
stroyed.
The storm was one of the most violent
that ever swept this town. After the
wind subsidized gentle rain descended for
about two hours, accompanied by heavy
crashes of thunder. We have not heard
of any damage done by the lightning,
which was very sharp, except stable
near Fair Hill that was struck, but not
destroyed
