fined to his bed by an accident re-
cieved last Tuesday in the following
manner. He was Haking hay with a

broke and in falling he instinctively
hung to the lines, aud his horse back
ing he was caught under the rake,
The bone of his left arm is cracked
near the shoulder, his right thumb is
broken, one ofhissides is badl Y bruised
and bis mouth torn by one of the
teeth of the rake. He Succeeded BY
a dextrous movement, in getting from
under the horse in the act of falling.
1 am happy to state that he is doing
well under the skillfuI treatment of
DIR. Brouse. 44sr e,f4 4e
We have secured an average crop OF
hay in the best possible condition.
Some of our farmers were harvest
ing wheat last Thursday Almost
every one is now ready to commence,
and the crop is good.
We have had no rain for nearly
three weeks and the crops need a little
very much. Our oats crop looks
green and healthy, but the straw will
be short. Corn looks well consider
ing the dry weather, and if we get
rain soon the prospects are good,
L was last week through Stark coun-
ty as far as Louisville. They are suf-
fering from drouth in that county.
Their hay crop was an entire failure
and other crops are short. They say
if they catch any Western Reseave
Yankees down there next winter
looking after feed, they will lock them
up in the dry houses and smoke them.
] have no time to write more, as
this is the 4th of July. ROVER,

FIRE Administering the exhibit
ton of Fireworks on Saturday eve
ming the alarm of fire was sounded.
The alarm was occasioned by one of
the pieces that had been shot off fall
ing upon the roof OF the Empire
building, setting fire to the shingles.
The firemen were promptly on hand,
a ladder was run up and in minute
the fire was extinguished before any
considerable damage had been done.

BURGLARY.-Oner night last week
the meat market of George Kenwafd
was bnrglarized by some one remoF-
ing the bolt of the back door. The
thief went to the trunk of young
man employed in the market and alb
stracted therefrom a silver-plated re-
volver, linen coat and about one dol
lar in silver change. Nothing. else OF
value was missed. A man must be
desperate who will run the risk of
the penitentiary for such a small
amount of plunder.

THE heat for several days has been
exceedingly oppressiYe-leadipge one
to long for a@boundless eoniguity of

this extraordinary heat to the infu-

worst of it, as the knowing ones say
that that pest is approaching our
planet with fearful rapidity.

The strawberry festival of the la
dies of the M. E. Church of Streets
boro', on the evening of the 26th ult.,
was a very pleasant affair, although
not as remunerative in pecuniary
point of view as was hoped for. Still,
a trife more than enough to pay ex-
penses was realized. Complaint is
made that some persons seem to con-
slider the patronage bestowed upon
these festivals as a mere act Of charity
though they pay no more for the lux
uries which are served to them than
they would at any restaurant or sa-
loon, and it is generally the case that
the ladies who provide the delieacies
furnish articles-of far superior quality
and their whole labor and trouble is
for the purpose of promoting some
laudable public enterprise, which
ought to entitle them to the most lib
eral patronage and thethanks.ofalL 4
