CELEBRATED HAGERSTOWN,
On KrLLER's PATENT, THE BEsrl
GRAIN, seed and FERTILIZER
DRILLS
The only Drill that -,ciu positipsly dis
tribute properly al kinds Of Grain
Seed and Fertilizers aAa
A few of the points of superiority Of this
Drill over all others. are:

lsT-Force Feed Arrangement for Sowing
Grain, consisting Of one gum and one iron
roller-which Is really the only force feed ar
rangement made-giving you an even and
regular distribution Of grain at all times. Can
sow any amount of grain, from peck to two
bushels.
2D-The Patent Spring Hoes, having gum
springs on end of Drag-Bar, (being the only
perfect gum-spring arrangement) thereby
doing away with the old wooden brake-pins,
and allowing the Drill to pass any obstruc-
ton that the axle will go over without inter-
fering with working of Drill.
3D-The Patent movable or sliding FMicrum
Of Spring Bar for sowing the grain deep or
shallow, is an improvement not possessed BY
any other drill.
4TH-The Patent shield for couering the Gear
weeds, corustalks or accumulation ofgrit and
gravel, which make Drill run heavy, is .
needed improvement over all other drills.
5rH-The Land Surveyor is as correct as it
is possible TO make one, having one face show
ing l-16 acre, and another face registering
the acres.
6rH-The Patent Axle is SO constructed that
the bearings are all on the outer and inner
parts of Spindle, causing the Drill to run
lighter to the team, and more steady, than il
bearing was all on center of spindle.
7rH-All we can say for the PMe,a Guano
or Fertilizer attachment is that it is The only
one that will SOW or distribute properly all
kinds of fertilizers in all conditions.
THE BEST also has Patent Hoe Shifter, by
which the Boots can be changed from straight
to zigzag line, or vice versa, while seeding
along. The Grass Seed Attachment is perfect,
In fact it would be impossible to give all the
good and superior points possessed by this
Drill, without occupying too much space.
Suffice it to say, our Drill is just what is
claimed for 1.-THE best-AND HAS NO EQUAL.

A Destructive Storm.


The Eauinoctials storm, on Saturday last,
seems to have been general one. From every
section Of the country come reports Of its raw
ages, and unroofed houses and uprooted trees
are seen and heard Of on every quarter. In
Middletown it ragged with great violence
Much damage was done in the uprooting and
breaking to pieces Of valuable shade and fruit
trees. Among others which fell before its
fury were two fne silver NAPLES which stood
in front of Mr.. J. B. Roberts stove and tin
store. These trees were blown across the
street completely blocking it up and entirely
preventing all carriage travelling. The weep
| ing willow in the Presbyterian Church yard
was split in two very large limb falling into
the street. A splendid maple at the corner Of
the Central Hotel was blown down and ruin
ed. Besides these there were dozens of others
all through the town, and on Monday morn
| ing the streets were Uttered with fallen trees,
tree.branches, iesves, &c.T / .sIat1s9
IN the country its ravages were equally ex-
tenslve. Many orchards were terribly dam
aged, especially young ones. Large numbers
of trees were blown down and broken by the
force Of the wind. Capt. W. E. Appleton
suffered severely, his trees being mostly young
Mr.. Thos. Cochran was another heavy loser,
both tle breakipg Of his orchaIas and il
other property. His cattle sheds were blowr
down and his corn-crib unroofed. Mr.. Arthur
Johns, Of Sassafras Neck, Nd, was also badly
damaged. One side Of bis Kitchen was blowI
in causing much injury and Inconvenience
E. c. Fenimore, Esq, suffered much from th'
breaking of his river banks and the overflow
ing OF his fields. But II would be hopeless

done or TO enumerate even the chief sufferers

The House Elephant.

There is a disposition abroad 10 indulge
In unseemly levity over the predicament of
the democratic House with such a costly
elephant on hand as their distinguished
state prisoner, ballet KiIbOurn. Thus far
they have hot been able 10 get thing from
him, while he, luxuristing In his prison
quarters in a state OF torpid gOrgeousness,
is literally eating them out of house and
home The Graphic remarks about IL:
"The bill for what he has eaten thus far Is
nearly $500, so that Congress seems to be
nourishiug sort OF Gargantua who will
COmplaCently stay where he IS until he shall
have eaten the value OF half the real estate
in Washington and new bridge across the
Potomac. When the nation shall be bank
Iupted in this way IL is difficult to see what
good will come OF having the books that are
row so ardently desired, Ten TO one they
contain nothing but shameless collection
of bills Of fare, receipts for the concOction OF
rare dishes, selections from the works OF
Soyer and Francatelli, and poetical excerpts
IN praise Of the table. Since the great mans
incarceration he has eaten OF green peas,
spring chickens, cucumbers and straw
berries, at the rate of about $50 a day, which
is certainly creditable 10 him, and utterly
IS0fIroGU Relieic, that Americans are s0rdid
in their living. Thirty dollars a day should
ray for at least two bushels of peas, five
spring chickens, two dozen cucumbers, and
five straw berries, at the current price. and
yet leave mOley enough TO purchase three
hotties of wine and French roll or two.
hut WDlie MT. hllDOurn Is mus enIdrklug
the phylacteries of his digestive apparatus
the Treasury is becoming poorer day by
day, and as the BON CiUdnf and his expenses
grow by what they feed on, il is easy to see
that unless the gentleman Oe 5peedily re-
leased the commissary department must GO
by the board and the nation plunged in In Ie-
trievable ruin Unless Congress has some
Ceep scheme of feeding our Gargantua till he
loses his grip on literature, becomes weak In
intellect, and finally consents to give up his
hooks rather than become fol 0rdS, it would
he policy TO release him at once, and do
what can be done without him."
The mystery is how Hallet gets away with
all these eatables. He is by no means a
Gargsntua in size, but of medium height,
compact build, a NapOleOnic head, good
chest, but very moderate abdominal devel-
opment. Amongst his friends he passes as
rather a light eater, though he likes every
thing good of its kind. Perhaps the braciDg
air of the Anacostia has developed his appe-
lite, or perhaps having nothing else 10 do
low but eat, ne rays attention TO IL. But
most likely this deep aud dangerous man is
following out deliberate policy to eat up
the democratic chances OF national success
by involving the House in an abyss of ex-
penditure that will make ii utterly impossi-
bic for them TO go before the country as the
party ofretrenchment and reform.

Hallet KflbouPns JmprtsOnment by
the House OF REPRESENTATIVES,

In the recent Kentucky case under the en-
forcement act, decided by the Supreme
Court Of the United States on the 9th of last
month, Chief Justice Waite, In delivering
the opinion OF the court, says:
''The courts enforce the legislative will,
when ascertained, II ICtthin the Constitutional
01aat Of pOlCer. Within It's legislative sphere
Congress Is supreme and beyond the control
Of the courts, but fit steps outside of its
Constitutional limitations, and attempts
that which Is beyond It's reach, the courts are
authorized TO, and when called upon in due
course OF legal proceedings must, annul its en-
croachments upon the reserved power Of the
sts ties and tie people,"
Is the right 70 personal liberty unless de-
prived by due process OF law one OF the re-
served powers OF a citizen? Mr.. Kilbourn, IL
appears, Is incarcerated In a dungeon In vio-
1ation OF the Constitution, the statutes OF the
United States (Rev. Stat, page H. and his
reserved power a. one OF the people. Where
l. tie Constitutional grant OF power" that

The District Commissioners Answer.

The answer sent 10 the House District
Committee by the District Commissioners
will be read attentively not only by the tax
payers OF the District, but by many persons
elsewhere whose interest has been attracted
by the charges OF acknowledgement OF local
affairs at the national capital. To the Inves-
tigating Committee the Commissioners owe
the only opportunity they have ever had of
vindtcatiDg their administration, their an
nual report being limited by law to incom-
plete statements. Their "ans Her" IS a con-
elusive Iefutation OF many ISLANDERS circu-
lated, and makes a record consistent with
the high reputation for ability and integrity
they bore when they first came among us.
Every current debt OF the District has been
paid al maturity; leaks have been stopped,
and the municipal machinery simpIifed.
Although the number OF officials has been
reduced from 81 TO 133 "a elimination OF 1881,
the business has been well attended 10; and
the finances have been bettered by an econ
omy of 500, $3.50 per annum on the salaries
OF officers and employees. This is not only
stated, but proved. The economy is greater
than the interest on all the 3-G5 bonds issued.
Honor 10 whom honor Is due!
