The CRoPs.-From the best information
we can obtain the wheat crop will be much
below an average in this county. The quail.
ty, however, will be very fine. Corn stands
in most of the fields very irregularly, owing
to the necessity of replantng so much of it,
caused by the ravages of cut worms, which,
have seldom been so numerous as this year
Oats has improved very much and there ia a
prospect of very fair crop. Early potatoes
will turn out very well, as a general thing
the beetle having been hunted and destroyed
so assiduouslyb by our farmers. The hay crop
will be very light.

feryent prayer to the throne of grace, which was
followed by the choir singing beautiful an
them. Then Mrs. Jennie Thomas, of Baltimore
offered an eloquent prayer, after which she ad-
dressed the school in chaste, loving and beau
tlful manner. Ilertheme was the Blessed Jesus
and most beautifully did she depict the good
ness OF the immaculate Saviour. Mrs Thomas's
remarks were most happy, and made a deem i'm =
preston on the large assembly present. She was
followed by her husband, Mr.. John c. Thorn

dress, after which he gave the school an ipstrnc.

The starry armament now presents n most
beautiful appearance. At o'clock in the even
ing Mars is seen riding in the Orient, about 35
degrees above the horizon, and shines with great
6rililancy, emitting deep red fiery beams, whilst
Jupiter is hanging in the 8. S. W., about an hour
past meridian, brilliantly shining with beauti-
full rays that look like molten silver, which with
thousand lesser lights make our short summer
nights most beautiful, and show forth the gran.

HARVESTING.
Our farmers are busy getting up their bav.
and are likewise cutting their wheat. The ear.
ly hay makes about half an average crop. The
late hay will be better Our wheat will make
about half a crop, but what there is will be very
fine; the grain being uncommonly plump und
heavy.
CORN AND OATS.
The growing corn and oats present most
hatterng appearance, and if the season con-
tinues favorable there will be fine crops.
FRUIT.
There will be good crop of the various kinds
of fruit and berries.
HEALTH.
Our section has been very healthy for some
time, for which precious blessing we should give
our thanks to our Great Master. MARS.

A Tornado i'm Marshall,s District.

SHAwsvILLE, July 7th 1875.
MIR. EDITOR: Our neighborhood was WIS.,
tied on yesterday afternoon by very severe
and peculiar blast of wind, which seems, as
far as we can learn, TO have confined its fury
to very small district, either as to length or
breadth. Its destructive force being attain
ed and spent almost simultaneously and in
the same place
On the farm of Mr. Caleb Wright, living
near Shawsville, about 400 yards of fencing
were swept bodily into the road, even the
worm rails being lifted and carried away. A
large four horse wagon was run forward
about twenty yards by the force of the wind.
and little girl lifted bodily, carried forward
for several steps and thrown violently to the
ground.
The greatest fury of this young tornado
was, however, vented upon a tract of timber
belonging to the heirs OF the late Isaac Gar
rett, near tine Dry Branch Wooden Mills.
This tract-visited by your correspondent
this morning--is literally torn to pieces.
Scarcely tree of any size is left entire, and
large numbers of tops are torn off and car
ried yards from their trunks. Many of the
largest trees are completely uprooted, giving
evidence that the storm while it lasted was Of
more than ordinary severity. The most pc
culiar features of the wind, however, were
its suddenness, and its confinement to such
narrow limits; and well for us that such
was the case, for had it continued for fifteen
minutes with the force it posscssed,inothinr
could have withstood its fury.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.-We have to re-
cord another sad death in the family of Capt.
John T. Jones, who lives near Elkton. On
Tuesday evening of last week, as the thunder
storm was gathering, Mrs. Jones and her
daughter Ida, 20 years of age, were engaged
in washing up the tea things in shed kitch-
EN-, flash of lightning struck the roof, ran
down the posts, and instantly killed Miss
Jones and knocked Mrs. Jones and her son
Malvern, IS years old insensible. When
Mrs: Jones recovered, she found her daughter
dead and her shoes burning. Neither Mrs.
Jones nor her son were seriously injured, but
are still suffering from prostration. The
roof of the kitchen was shattered badly. Miss
Ida Jones was a lovely young girl, and great.
ly beloved by all who knew her.--Cecl Demo-

CURE FOR CHICKEN CHoLERA-A lady
reader has handed us the following remedy
for chicken cholera, which she has used with
most gratifying success in every instance:
Dissolve one tablespoonful of copperas in
three pinls of warm water, and keep it on
hand. When the food is prepared put some
OF the copperas water into it-just enough to
color it little. But if the fowls are very
sick, some dry coppcras may be given, by
filling piece of fat meat with it and forcing
them to take it once day.
