from Harrisonburg, were on the ground by
way of the Valley R. r. cars, before
O'Clock, the Harrisonburg people coming
in last. The famous Stonewall Brigade
Band went with the Staunton visitors, and
the Alpha council band with the Harrison
burgers. DR.. VIM. J. Points, Grand
Worthy Chief of Virginia, introduced the
speakers of the occasion, who were Rev.
Saml Pearce, Capt. E. L. Curtiss, of the
old 9Th regiment, Maj. J. F. Divine, State
lecturer, Maj. J. W. Newton, W. T. Var
borough and J. Shelton. Besides the

organized by Mr.. J. w. Abby, and there
was some good singing. While on the
ground, DIR. Points received applications
to institute lodges of Good Templars at
Mt. Crawford and Mt. Scion. There was
a slight shower, lasting but a few minutes,
which hurt nobody. The day was spent in
dancing, baseball playing, singing and
other amusements, and some of the visitors
seized the opportunity to walk over to the
Old Stone Church, and view that historic
edifce. Everybody was kept cool by a
four-horse wagon load of ice, generously
sent for the use of the visitors by Mr.. W.
Crawford, ON whose land the picnic, took

An Important Decision.

Judge Carpenter yesterday filed bis de.
cision in the case of Harvey Terry and
others against The stockholders Of the
Commercial Bank Of Columba-a case
which has been pending for nearly or
quite five years. Judge Carpenter decides
III favor Of the plaintiffs. The opinion
and the decree are both elaborate, and we
have no doubt learned. The case is one
of much interest to large number Of per.
sons in Columbia and elsewhere, inyolv-
ing, as it does, the individual liability of
the stockholders in ante bellum state banks
especially the bills of the banks. The
decree ofJudge Carpenter holds that such
stockholders are liable, and that the plain.
tiffs must have judgments for the par value
of all unpaid bills owned by them. He
also holds that stockholders have prac-
tical set off agains, liability in the bills re-
deemed or paid by them and duly proved

From Laurens.

The Laurensville Herald furnishes the
following items Of interest:
Grasshoppers have put in an appearance
in this vicinity, but so far to a limited ex-
tent. The insects are very small, and
these seen by US have appeared only upon
flowers, and do not seem hungry for veg
citation. We trust they are not of that
sort.
Copious rains have visited this section,
and we think have been general through
out the county, during the past week.
The apprension now is that there may be
too much of good thing-a superabun-
dance of rain. Grass is feared Crop re.
ports, however, are favorable.

Agricultural Report.
WASHINGTON June 26.


The monthly report of the Department
Of Agriculture contains the following, rela
tive to the condition of crops, ETC.
Cotton, in larger portion Of the cotton
area, at the usual time for planting, the
soil was wet and cold on the Atlantic
coast and district, and less degree in
more western areas, and termination was
retarded, but not destroyed. Afterwards,
the weather became favorable for the
growth, and the chopping out process,
with tendency to place it in an injurious
lack of moisture.
A frost on the 29th Of May in North
Carolina, destroyed cotton in certain
swamp lands.
The late frosts were somewhat injurious
in all these States, except Florida and
Texas. The stand is much better than
last year, and the plant much advanced in
growth, Notwithstanding their lutte start.
The crop is generally quite clean. Seri-
Gus injury has been done by inse cts,
though the cut worm IS not in some
counties of Florida, Texas and Arkansas,
the plant has been infested with Ice in
reduction in area has not been in accom-
plished. While there has been all increase
in cora and wheat, it has MT been done
at the expense of cotton, nor has the re.
duced area of last year been much en-.
larged. Our returns make only ten to two
per cent increase. There is only one
State (Georgia) which has IN official
bureau for the collection Of crop statistics,
which make their reduction Of acreage five
per cent, which is within one per cent. Of
the result returned by our own crops in
the State. The comparison with last
year is as follows: North Carolina, 1O2
per cent; South Carolina, LOG; Georgia
SO; Florida, 90, Alabama, l04; Missis ,ippi,
lO2; Louisiana, 10l; Texas, lOS; Arkansas,
1Ol; Tennessee, %. The maximum true
condition Of cotton for period of five sea-
sons was reported in 1872. The order for
the other four is 1875, 1878, 1871, 1874
The comparison with crop OF full
vitality and normal growth in all respects
is for the present month, is Us follows:
North Carolina, 90 per cent; South Caro-
lima OF; Georgia 9l; Florida "a, Alabama,
10l; Mississippi 100; Louisiana So; Texas

CATION has been undertaken for the correc
ton of the bases Of area in cotton in vogue,
for the years past the statistic has for
years had strong re elsons for believing the
area heretofore reported in cotton, to have
been TOO small for the past two years.
He has had q demonstration of that
belief and has not printed IN estimate
since 1873. Tue figures publish
ed in all the commercial journals

respondents, with annual modification, in
