THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

The summer Of 1876 promises to be memoir.
able in both hemisphefes, for its storms and
floods. Ia Western Europe, particularly ia
France and England, there were heavy rains
and floods during the last part Of June and
nearly the whole Of July, By which the crops
sustained considerable damage. During die
last three or four weeks we have had a SINH
lar experience on this side Of the Atlantic, a
succession Of storms through the agricultural
regions Of the West almost unparalleled for
their severity, having caused no little damage
@ the cereal crops, cansing renewed speeula-
ton in the Grain market, AID an advance in
prices. The cause Of the meteorological &C.
eentricities, which have created so much con
fusion this year, is traced by the scientists to
the orbit Jupiter, which is said to be passing
through some stupendons chanee, and such IS
the intimate connection between the two orbs
that our own atmosphere Is now aeitated il
sympaihy with the commissions above US.
This, at any rata, IS the explanaiion given for
season made memorable By deinees and
earthquakes, md Cor want Of better / may

AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Groome, in ac-
cordance with the constitutional require
ment, has issued proclamation announcing
that an important amendment to the con-
stitution Of Maryland is to be voted on at

all suits or actions at law, and issues from
orphans courts, or from any court sitting
in equity, may be removed, on suggestion
and affidavit, to some other court having

addition to the suggestion for removal on
affidavit, it shall be necessary to satisfy
the court that the party suggesting cannot
have fair and impartial trial before the
court Of original Jurisdiction Tho right
of removal on suggestion is to be unques-
toned in any case where all the judges Of
the original court are constitutionally dis
qualified to sit. The proclamation win be
found in our advertising columns.

A GREAT ANNOYANCE TO orr CITIZENS.
Our town is almost weekly visited by set
of worthless miscreants, usually denominated
Cramps, who prowl around our streets and
alleys night and day, if not disturbing our
citizens by coming to their doors and begging
for money, which nine out Of every ten spend
as soon as they get for liquor, they sicken one
with their hideouS and blasphemous utter.
anees, their abuses of one another, and their
generally dirty and filthy appearance. Soms
Of them, when refused money. will turn away
from your house with threats OF burning your
property, or even personal violence TO its oc.
cupauts. Many ofthem have lost an arm, or
leg, or other member Of the body. These are
often arti6cially replaced, and are very fire.
quently the only sober part abou, these de-
banched specimens Of our race. On Satur.
day last there was an unusually large number
in this city, aud many Of them laid in the al.
leys all night, but few sober enough TO walk
to the almshouse. Between three and four
o. clock on Sunday morning the people were
much annoyed by the oaihs and shrieks,
caused by their delirious condition from wills,
key and other strong and poisonous drinks.
Cannot something be done to prevent these
great instances from pouring upon as they do,
or are we always to be thus annoyed?
