INVADED ny THE SEA.-A dispatch fro,,
Washington, d. c., dated May LIST, saws
Captain John J. Guthrie. Superintendent
Of the Sixth Life Saving District, saws Of
the effect Of the great gales on the Viz.
ginia and North Carolina coasts: 1Tbe
gales of the 10Th aud l4th March raised
the tides higher than has been remembered
for many years, and, in the generality Of
places where it found vent between the hills
flowed rapidly from ocean to source, inunda
ting the lands for miles in extent, DESTROYING
stock aud alarming the residents; in fact, the
entire topography Of the country is material,
altered. The banks of Oregon Inlet were cut
away on both shores, widening il at least three
fourths Of mile. The southern beach hayine
advanced within 500 yards Of Station No. X
where the family Of Mr.. Burgess, whose resi-
dence was situated between il and the inlet
sought refuge from the rising waters, and
dreading future encroaehments, subsequent.
" abandoned the neghborhood. No vessel
we're stranded north of No. 5, but five were
south Of il, the wreck reports of which have
all been forwarded"

FiENDlsH 0urRAGE.-A week or two
since some fiend in human shape committed
most heinous, diabolcal act upon the prom.
erty Of Mrs. Gregg barrow, at Brady's Mills.
Allegheny county, Maryland, about six miles
above Cumberland, on the line of the Bali
more and Ohio Railroad. Some person nav,
ing malice against Mrs. barrow led to her
herd OF fine Alderney cattle salt mixed with
strychnine. In the morning thirty of the
herd which had partaken Of the mixture were
found dead in the field. Mrs. barrow al
once dispatched messenger TO Cumberland
for two physicians, and upon examination
large quantities Of strychnine was found IN the
stomachs of several. One of the cows which
was from the celebrated Alderny herd al
Hampton, near rowsontowD, not having mar.
taken as freely as the others, did not die ion.
mediately. The drug, however, caused The
poor beast to become mad, when Il mi G,r;.
oasly about the field, and finally il ran agains,
rock and crushed its skull

The Agricultural College.


We have seen the name of Col. W. W.,
W. Bowie, of Prince Georges county,
hvorabIy mentioned in connection with
the Chair Of Practical aud Theoretical
Agriculture of the Agricultural College Of
this State. Col Bowie, while not person.
ally known to many persons in this part Of
the State, is well known as one Of the
editors of the Maryland Farmer, which
journal has a large number of subscribers
in this county He is not only fine
writer but has had large practical expe-
renee in agriculture, and We feel assured
that his addition to the faculty would in-
fuse new life into the College and be the
means Of attracting many students to it,
The folly of putting any and all kinds Of
boys on the farm has been followed with
disastrous results, in many instances, and
higher education is desired now by many
who wish their sons to succeed them in that
business. This can only be accomplished
by having thorOughgoing practical men
in our institutions, and looking to this end
is our reason for recommending such q
gentleman as Col Bowie.

The Baltimore Sans Washington cor
respondent represents that there is a strong
probability that an expose will shortly be
made by Packard, Wells aud Anderson,
u the frauds Of the Louisiana Returning
Boprd, moved thereto by disappointment
in not receiving certain coveted offices.
The Sans correspondents have been very
reliable, in the main, but we think that
the writer of Mondays Washington letter
yentured just little into the domain of
fJmance. We have no doubt that these
precious Returning Board rascals could
each tale unfold which would shock
tic moral sensibilities Of the whole
american people, but it is too much to
expect of them that they will thus become
the heralds of their own shame through
spite and chagrin. If there be any truth
ia it the public will not have long TO wait
for the denouement. Il would be the
greatest sensation of this sensational period

Mn. EnIToR In view Of the threatening
aspect of war between Russia and Turkey, /
have been reminded of a lecture delivered by
DIR. Cummings Of London, during the Cri.
mean War, in which he gave a quotation from
an old volume of the fifteenth century. The
following is the prophecy quoted, viz;
In twice two hundred years. the Dear
The Crescent will nssnil
But II the Cock and Bull unite
The Bear will not prevail
But marki In twice ten years again
Let Islam know and fear
The Cross shall stand, the Crescent yano
Dissolve and disappear"
Il is but little more than twenty years since
Sebastopol was bombarded and TAX en-. Thus
was fulfilled the first part of the prophecy,
Now let us watch the present struggle between
the Bear and the Crescent, whilst the Cock
and Bull-thatis, France and England-stanJ
neutral: Nous VERRONs.
