TEMPERANCE,


The tidal wave that visited South Ameri-
lea, and swept SO many suddenly into etern-
ity, is sad to think of, but the wave of
temperance that has reached these fertile
fields, doing so much good, is pleasant
and soul cheering to think about. We hope
it may continue TO flow, until it reaches
this community, where whisky reigns king,
and "where every prospect pleases and
only man is vile."
is rapidly maturing, and if no storm or
anything else comes to blight it, the yield
week, many fields that bow their full heads
SO gracefully in the gentle June winds, will
present very shocking appearance.
THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL
of the Westminster Presbyterian Church,
held four evenings last week, was success,
as they are said to have cleared 5000.
TIE PEACHES
in this entire neighborhood, beyond a doubt
are injured With one or two exceptions,
there will not be more than third of a
crop. All other kinds of fruit will be
scarce, except berries, and apparently they
will be abundant.
THE POTATO BUGS
are more numerous now than in any pre-
vious year, and some potato growers are SC
anxious to rid the vines of the nuisance
that they take advantage of the quiet Sab
baths. A large number of sweet potatoes
are being planted.

TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.

The committee appointed to make ar
rangements for public temperance meet
ings have engaged Mr.. Agnew for week,
and the first meeting will be held Saturday
night next. Mr.. Agnew has been very sue
cessfully laboring at Rising Sun and at
other points. His reputation as an earnest
worker in the good cause is well established,
and it is hoped our citizens generally will
attend his meetings and hear what he has
to say. Mr.. John NJ. McClenahan has been
appointed to make arrangements for a large
tent, and expects to get one from Baltimore
for the purpose of holding meetings in.
WOODLAND CAMP MEETING.
At 4 meeting of the managers of the
Woodlawn camp meeting, the price of
tents with floors for the camp, commenc-
ing August 18th, will be: For 12xl6 feet,
$11; 14x2O feet, SIS. A large number of
ministers have expressed their intentions to
Rev. John D. Rgg, the minister in charge,
to be present and assist in the services.
JUBILEE SINGERS.
rather small audience attended the
concert of the Jubilee Singers on Tuesday
night. Those that were present enjoyed a
treat seldom had in our community.
FIRE.
About s.. o'clock, Tuesday night, the
cry of fire was heard in our town, and soon
the flames burst out of the stable of Mrs.
r. E. Murphy, occupied by Mr.. John E.
Oldham as a livery stable. Our steam en-
CINE was speedily brought from the engine
house and put to work at the run near
Messrs. Moore & Shorts cabinet maker
shop, but as the stream did not afford
enough water, she was taken to the river,
where there was no trouble and heavy
stream of water was thrown on the nearest
buildings and the burning stable. 1t seems
to me that the engine should always be
taken to the river without delay, so that an
abundant supply of water can be obtained.
The stable was supposed to have been set
on fire; if So it was daring piece of bust
ness, as our streets in the early evening are
pretty well filled with persons promenad-
ing. The fire may have been caused by a
match dropped and the mice or rats gnaw-
ing it. Mrs Murphy's loss will be about
$500. Mr.. Oldham's will be $50 to $50 in
hay and grain. Insurance on stable 500.
SALE OF PROPERTY.
VIM. J. Jones sold the Rock Run mill
property, on Wednesday, for $4,000, to
Mr.. J. G. Bell, of Conowingo.
THE TRUSTEES
of the NJ. E. Church are having the lot in
front and on the side of the church nicely
sodded, which adds very much to the APP
pearance of the surroundings.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The pavement between the public school
building and DR.. Shure's residence is to
be paved with Belgian pavement.
Some of our farmers are cutting wheat
and grass, which is very much earlier than
usual. Nearly all of the wheat will be cut
next week, and, from appearances, will be
large yield.
