A Dry PLACE IN ALI THIS RAIN the midst
OF the ate numerous rans which we had thought
oyerspread every part OF the Peninsula, it reads
rather strangely to those Of us who for
two weeks past have been subject to the an
noyance of sweled doors, frightened windows and
gates which refuse to shut, to hear of one spot
where they arc actually suffering from drought.
And yet we are told that upon Wye Island there
has not been enough rain to wet the corn to its

of Queen Annes county, not far from the Tai

InoN ORE Discovered AT HooKEssIN.-
Although it has been known for many years
past that iron ore existed in small quantities
here and there through Hockessin Valley, it
was never known, until few days ago, that
it existed in sufficient deposits to warrant any
special effort to mine it.
John g. Jackson, SO long resident Of that
valley, and probably more acquainted with its
mineral resources than any other per-
son, has always entertained tho idea that
iron abouuded in large quantities some place
in the valley. For some time past, he has been
prospecting for the ore, but not until last week
was he rewarded in part for his trouble. Dig
ging down about eight feet. hc came upon a
bed OF pure iron ore, in Jumps the size OF
large apples, which is said to contain about 70
per cent OF iron. There was about bushel OF
these Jumps in one spot, and thsre wAs ever,
indication that ore xisted there in large guam
titles.
moro thorough examination Of tho premisei
will be made to sec II sufficient ore exiAts Il
maks mining profitable.

been put upon the track again and are now being

extent Of the damage being measured by the
tearing away OF tho tracks from some Of the

Beng mixed train, two stops are made at each
station that is the forward cars pick up the
local freight first and then the passenger car,
which is at the rear ia hauled up to take on pas
sengers. 1t was while the latter WAS being
pulled into the station, while the motion was
very slow that the cars went over. Had tho
speed been greater tho damage must also have
been much more than it was.
