Fourth of July in New Windsor.
Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate

correspondence OF tne democratic Advocate.
As is the custom here, the National Ami.
versary was generally observed by all. As
the early sun burst in. beauty above the cas-
tern horizon, his first sweet beams came gaily
dancing over hill and vale, kissing the pearly
dew drops, causing the rippling river of
laughter to flow across the face of nature and
the re-echoing of the loyal feelings of the
soul. The din and hum of business was lulled
into quietude; the merchant had left his
counting room, the clerk his counter, and the
ring of the smiths anvil, the glowing sparks.
the everturning wheel of industry, were all
idle, and happier feeling prevailed, as the
stars and stripes flOated in the breeze and
waved from window and portico. / know of
but two events in the history of the race more
grand and imposing than this-the creation
and the redemption of the world. Through
the trials of the revolution first broke the
CLEANS of liberty and freedom, and this love
for our country was not taught us by NH
losophers and statesmen, but was deeply
rooted into every heart from the knowledge
of the fact that all icere free, and their rights
and privileges we're as bounteous as the air
and as boundless as the ocean, With this
feeling we celebrated the fourth; but the most
prominent feature of the occasion was wit
Windsor College, extended cordial invita-.
ton to the citizens and visitors of the town to
visit the charming campus and participate in
the fire display, kindly and pairiotically fur.
nished by the distinguished guests which have
filed the college building to repletion. The
guests of Dielman's hotel also were present
and aided in the display. As the night was
very dark the opportunity for a grand illu-
mination was enhanced thereby; and ! can
truly say that the scene has never been sur
passed in the history of New Windsor. The
manipulation of the fireworks, divolved upou
Messrs. Bandel and Griffith, from Baltimore,
and 1t was done IN a mastery manner. Now
the cir would be filled with rockets. which.
upon reaching their highest altitude. would
explode in starry colors and We'd with nature
own stars; then the multitude of Roman
candles illuminated the entire hill top. fol-
lowed by blue lights, whose reflection fur
nlshed the grandest scene which the eve
could witness, and all together made up an
artistic compliment of gorgeous beauty and
spiendor. After the display the many guests
and visitors repaired to the large hall In the
college, which was brilliantly lighted up, and
enjoyed themselves in a universal sociabIe.
Sweet music enlivened the occasion, and as
the midnight bell was tolled. all exclaimed.
what happy fourth A.H.Y.

FfNEsBURG IrEMs.-The wheat and rye
crops IN this section have been harvested.
The weather was exceptionally fine and the
crops were housed in splendid condition
Some fears we're expressed that the oat. corn
and potato crops would suffer from the con-
tinued drought. but we were blessed with a
good rain on the 9th inst, which viii, no
doubt, bring them on all right. Oats are
heading we'll and will soon be ready for the
seythe. We are not prepared, at present, to
give the results of the yield Of wheat. but a
good turnout is anticipated.
While our farmers were getting in their
crops, our miller, Mr.. F. l.. Herring, was
making ready for the new wheat He has put
in new bolting cloths, and has everything in
order to do his part towards giving the com
munity that indispensable article-bread
And thus while we feel assured of being fed
ourselves, we can also rejoice in prospect
OF plenty for our horses and cattle. and at the
same time compete favorably with Mr.. Tracy
Mr.. George Armacost has corn growing on
his place that measures 8 feet 81 inches. and
Mr.. Abraham Leister sent us some heads of
timothy from his farm, one Of which measured
13i inches, and another IL inches. The stalk
from which one of the heads was cnt, was s
feet tall. Mr.. William Baxter, also found a
remarkably long head of timothy, but we did
not get the exact ngures-
We notice that there are a smaller number
Of city boarders in our midst this Summer
than for several years past. Can it be the
hard times in the city, or are they waiting for
the camps to commence? 1t would be diff
cult to select more favorable locality for
attending camp, being in proximity and con-
venient access TO both Emory and Hollings-
worth's groves. The latter camp viii have
more tents this year than last, and will, no
doubt, attract large number of visitors from
a distance.
Before closing, We must say how delightful
some of our ADVOCATE readers were TO see
among the Local Brevities, in the issue of the

most appropriately applicable.

SANS CREEK ITENs.-A terrific storm con.
sisting of wind, rain, hail and minute toads,
ranging from three TO four miles in width,
passed over the western portion of this coun-
ty and the eastern section of Frederick
county, on last Monday, uprooting trees,
leveling fences, haystacks, wheat ricks and
unroo6ng barns. 1t was Of short duration.
lasting about five minutes. Nc lives reported
lost, nor accidents from lightning. Il is
thought to be the most destructive storm that
ever visited this neighborhood.
Mr.. Thomas McQuay, lately of Michigan,
but at present residing here, shot a brown
crane of Sand Hill variety, last Tuesday, on
Yingling's dam, which measured six feet
from tip to tip, five feet nine inches from end
OF tail to beak, and it was not good day for
cranes either. He has had some experience
IN the brown crane business.
The opportunity which the weather has af.
forded the farmers for the past three weeks
has been duly employed by them in storing
awily their grain, which we feel safe in saving
will be as good as last years crop. They
wit then be prepared to enjoy the approach
Ing camp meetings, excursions and picnics.
The corn crop is not as promising here as
1t has been known to be at this season of
year.
