GOOD MEN WANTED IN THE LEGIsLA-
TuRE.-The Democratic press throughout
the State is alive to The importance of secur-
ing good and able men in the Legislature
next winter. As a general thing those who
are most anxious TO go, and who can spend
the most time in "cectioneCing," are nomi-
mated and elected. AS II consequence some
of the counties, and even the city of Balti-
more have not always been tittingly repre-
sented, The people seem to have made up
their minds that this time the right kind of
men must be nominated. Iflhs is done they
willccrtainly be elected and the next Legisla-
ture will leave better record than many of
It's predecessors. The following, from the
Frederick (Md,) Union, is TO the point:
"The next session of our State Legislature
will be an important onc-in fact, they are
all important--yct We too often find men I'M
fit TO occupy seats in such bodies cssuying TO
frame laws! Whenever they undertake such
Task their work is defective, and the people
of the State become the sufferers If we
have u watch or clock to repair, we do not
send it to the blacksmith, and if we need good
and wholesome laws we do not call in the
ignorant to frame and pass them for us.
In our next Legislature we want men who
arc qualified for the highly responsible and
dignilicd position by education, practical *
perience in business and good sense and we
are gratilicd to observe that there is a strong
disposition throughout the State to secure the
service OF such men. Baltimore city has
superabundance Of good material to choose
from, and as she is generally first TO put the
ball in motion, we trust she will put forward
her best men, and, as in duty bound, the
counties will initiate her example. The in
tcrests OF the State and the happiness and
prosperity of the people demand this course
at the present time"

A PROLIFIC Cow.-The Democratic Press
of last week says Isaac Hovis, of Spring
field township, has Devon COW, four years
old, that yields two large buckets of milk
day, from which secenteen pounds Of butter
have been made each week for five successive
weeks. This is certainly one of the most
prolific cows that has ever been known in
this section of the State, and Mr.. Hovis may
well challenge the whole country to produce
one to beat her. w learn that Mr. John NJ,

THE CROPS.

THE CROPS.
Although popular attention has in the main
been directed to canning and canning products,
yet zeal for conducting this new and lucrative
employment has not been sufficient to divert
them altogether from the old beaten track of
husbandry, neither should an enterprsing mind
be oyer-elated at the prospect of great gain
where the conditions Of the business are pre-
carious, and so much resting on personal exper-
fence.
THE FESTIVAL.
Various reports have been given of the pre-
ceeds derived from the Aberdeen NJ. l.. Church
South Festival. From the most reliable &C.
counts there was cleared $50, to be appropriated
to repairs of the parsonage.
RUNAWAY.
On Sunday evening last, June 18th, when the
prayer meeting was about to open at Bush
Chapel, the quiet of the hour was somewhat
disturbed by the sudden rushing of horse or
horses and vehicle around the church. The
alarm thus created induced Mr.. Griffin and Mr.
Baker to move out to the scene of the sensation
when it was ascertained that Mr.. Bakers horse
had broken from the post but was caught soon
after. Happily no person was injured.
THE COMMONS, &c.
The subject Of inclosing the general commons,
so free and open to all, is and has been a very
prominent one among us here. There have
been various opinions advanced on these mat
tiers. 1t is pleasant to look back at our ancient
usagcs, of which the freedom of the commons
was q glorious privilege, which in our country
has always prevailed.
THE WEATHER.
Tuesday was perhaps the beginning of series
of intensely warm weather while the traces of
Saturdays rain are no where Visible.

A WESTERN ToRNADo.-A tornado of I'M
usual violence passed overa portion of Iowa,
on the 10Th of last May, destroying houses,
tearing up trees and doing vast amount of
damage TO property of all kinds. A
young baby with its mother was hurled
through the air and the baby found dead the
next morning, seventy-fve yards from where
the house had stood, the pillow upon which it
was lying being carried two and a-half miles
away by the tornado. Among the sufferers
was Mr.. James o. Ramsay, formerly of IIar-
ford county, son of Hugh c. Ramsay, of
the fifth district. Mr.. Ramsay lived near
Harlan, Shelby county, Iowa. The Harlan

family, consisting of his wife and three
children, from Maryland, about four wears

of her recovery. Evelyn, II little girl eight

land of rest; for thee | sigh;
When will the moment come
When shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home.
No tranquil joys on earth know,
No peaceful sheltering dome;
This worlds wilderness of woe;
This world is not my home.
Calm on the bosom of thy God,
Dear spirit, rest thee now.
Even while with ours thy footstep trod,
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust to its narrow home beneath;
Soul to its rest on high;
They that have seen thy look of death
No more may fear to die.
