to the equipment made necessary by the in.
creased business Of the road nearly all of
which will be due and paid within the next six
months, we submit that it would not be al
vlsable to maze the usual payments of cou-
pons at that date.
As was apprehended at the time, it has
proved that the payment Of interest upon the
second preferred bonds was resumed prema,
turelyi but, as you are aware, the loud and
constant importunities of bondholders induced
you to loan your individual credit to the Com
pany in order that such demands might be
satisfied. But the same exigencies do not
now exist, and in justice to the road, its Di.
rectors and the holders of its securities, op.
portunity should be allowed for an accumula
ton Of revenue not only sufficient to meet all
current liabilities, but also adequate to meet
any possible contingencies that might arise.
II has been fully demonstrated that, once
freed from such encumbrances, as it shortly
will be, there can be no question as to the
Company's ability thenceforth TO pay the in.
terest upon its unendorsed bonds with abso.
lutte regularity and promptness.
In this connection, aud in order that you
may fully appreciate the growing Importance
OF the road, your attention is called to the
following comparisons of revenue for the sew.

ing On Friday evening last, q small child
OF Mrs. Hezekiah Portz, of West Mannheim

sow. 1t appears the child, which is about
four years old, in company with a little

tbs ExPOsURE OF BARSs.-Eyery season,
during the prevalence of summer storms,
barns are struck by lightning and consumed,
owing il is believed, to the heat engendered
by the freshly cured hay which is slowed
in them. 1t becomes q question for the
consideration Of farmers, whether it would
not be better to build sheds for hay than to
risk the destruction Of barn and contents
through this means True, barn without
freshly cured hay or other heat engendering
crop might be damaged and destroyed by
electricity; but the chances Of destruction with
such a crop are much greater. Would it not
be wise, thereto 50, to build ay-barracks at a
proper distance from the barn, and to stow
the hay under the same in the open air?

HEAVY Storm thunder storm Of Tues.
day morning was the most severe that has
visited this county for several years. For
nearly four hours there was almost a contin.
uous peal of thunder and sharp and vivid
flashes of lightning. Hail fell in some por.
tons of the county, but not large enough to
do any damage. Corn fields were badly
washed, and in some places the wheat was
beaten down and the grain completely cover

pear to be in comatose state. We have
heard nothing from any of them for long
time. 1t is possible, however, that they are
burrowing in the soil, like moles, noiselessly
and industriously. Many of their fellow far
mers and others would be pleased to hear
what they are doing for the advancement of
agriculture in Carroll.
