Letter from Prospect.


Last Saturday Mr.. j. g. Terrell was sinking
Mr. VIM II. Jnnson's well deeper, and when
reaching depth of forty feet, stone weighing
about 120 pounds fell in, striking him on the
shoulder and inhicting very severe wound.
If it had struck him on the head it would have
killed him instantly, without doubt.
FIRES.
On Thursday last Mr.. Thomas Cooper, living
near the Line Bridge, was burning brush, when
by some means the fire got out and burned
over 2i0 acres of woods aud fields. MI. Cooper 5
loss is estimated at not less than one thousand
dollars. Thrcc-fourths of mile of worm fence
and 200 railroad lies, belonging TO Mr.. VIM
Glasgow were also destroyed by the fire Over
one hundred persons were present TO witness
the fire.
At the same time fire at Peach Bottom de
stroyed about 200 cords of wood, which had
been hauled out and ranked ready for shipment,
besides Il quantity OF timber. 1t was thought
at one time that the little town would be de.
stroycd, as it was found impossible to stay the
course of the flames.

Wheat, oats and grass are looking very badly
Many fields which ought to produce good crops
are almost entirely bare. There is certainly not
a sufficient length of time now, even if the sea-
son should be favorable, to make good crops.

MORE RAILROAD STRATEGY.-Thc West
Chester Pa.) Republican says:
"As there would be nothing gained by one
bankrupt company disposng ola road in run
nng order to bankrupt company without
any road at all, we infer that the Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York Company has
fallen into new hands, and that their title is
simply being used as a cloak to cover present
operations. The real parties are doubtless
the Philadelphia and Reading, and Baltimore
and Ohio Companies-and whose ultimate
object is the construction of q road from
Baltimore TO New York. AS further evil
dence that some movement of this kind is On
loot, we mention the fact that the railroad
shops at Oxford have been disposed of to
parties whose names, in the language of the
distinguished Lord Dundreary no fellow can
find out
The idea suggested by us some weeks since
OF the Baltimore and Ohio COMPANY using
the Wilmington and Readiug railroad as n
means of transporting western freight to
New York until the new route is completed,
is embraced within the limits of the scheme.
BY building road from Baltimore TO n
point on the Chester Valley road through
route to New York, independent of the
pennsylvania line, could be secured in less
than eighteen months, as there would be less
than seventy-fve miles of road to build"

THE POWER OF THE GRANGE.

According to tie latest report there sre 49,
SAT Oranges in the country, with member
ship Of ,S0O,OOO.
This represents at least one million
votes, about one-fourth the total vote of
the nation enough to decide the next
Presidential contest if they could be cast
unitedly for any one candidate.
In other words. the Grange possesses
the power to settle the politics of the
nation; to determine the complexion of
Congress, and in two years to remove all
the evils Of which the farmers complain.
1t is rule with soldiers that in cross.
ing bridge they must "break step" If
a thousand men, averaging $50 pounds
each, should bring their weight down at
the same instant. it would be equivalent
to blow Of 10000 pounds, and few
bridges could resist it. So with the
power of concerted action in everything
else. If the million Changers in the
United States should determine to bring
their ballots down at the same instant, in
favor of the same measures, they would
sweep away all opposition, and the mo-
nopolists would be utterly routed and
poweriess. But instead Of that they
e" break step" they split up on side
issues. and they counteract and neutral.
ize each other until their influence is
not as great as the railroads With but
$4,000 employees.

Chicago. quails, ruf1ed grouse and prairie
chickens are destroyed by the million, ire
spective of law or season. Tons of birds,
shared and shot out of season, are boiled down
and led to swine. On one day there stood q
wagon on the corner of two streets containing
100 1ozens of prairie chickens, while on the
near sidewalk were piled thtrty-seven
boxes, cont .in:ug $50 dozens OF qualls. cor
rupt, accomplishing, and condemned by the
Health Officers as only fit for swine. They are
trapped, shot and shared and sent to the mar
ket, where they find ready sale up to the
middle Of March, and yet the indiscriminate
slaughter continues The young birds and
setting hens, all alike are captured and sent
to Chicago and other cities on commission. and
destined to be fed to swine. The birds, the
editor says, must soon disappear before such
recklessness and vice. Yes, the birds have
disappeared, almost entirely. from many
western localities, and grasa1loppers and other
noxious'insect have multiplied and swarmed
forth, to spread famine and desolation. The
divinely arranged balance between birds and
insects has been destroyed by ruthless bird
killers, and the cry OF famine rings out over
the land. Such is the retribution for the vio-
lation of the equipose of nature and the max
ing of discord in the divine harmony OF ma
lures works.
