A Dry PLACE IN ALL THIS RAIN-In the midst
of the late numerous rains which we had thought
overspread every part OF the Peninsula, it reads
rather strangely to those Of us who for
two weeks past have been sub ect to the am
noyance of swelled doors, tightened windows ant:
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
roots since it was planted. Wye Island is fer
tile iaet in the river OF tho same name, is part
of Queen Anne's county, not far from the Tai
bot line and derives it's chief notoriety from the
fact that it was the home OF the late William b
Paca, a name prominent in Maryland history, al
though We believe the distinguishing character
istic OF tho gentleman just named was hi'
wealth.

cipitated down steep embankmout at Morton
vile, on tho W. Il Il. H. II on the 18th, have
been put upon the track again and are now being
repaired, No serious injury was done them, thu
extent Of the damage being measured by thu
tearing away OF tho tracks from some Of tn,
cars. A satisfactory explanation Of the caus'
OF the accident has not yet been given
Being mixed train, two stops are made at eacl
station that is, the forward cars pick up TIN
local freight first and then the passenger car
which il at the rear, is hauled up to take on pas
sengers 1t WAS while the latter WAS beini
pulled into the station, while the motion wa
very SLOW that the cars went over Had tn
speed been greater tho damage must also hay
been much more than it was.
