The Votes taken on the proposition at tho
Long Branch meeting of the Board of Con-
troll to extend the existing arrangement as
far as to April in the next year as yet lacks
the approval or consent of the Lehigh Val
ley interest. DR.. Linderman, the represent
atlve OF that interest present at the meeting,
voted in favor of the proposition of extension,
but with the understanding that his voto
should be submitted to the parties represent
ed. This has not yet been done. A meet
ing for the purpose was last week called, TO
be held at Bethlehem last Tuesday after
noon but the notice on Saturday was recall
ed " until further notice" A good deal of in
terest is manifested on the subject, but that
some sort of an arrangement, including part
if not all the companies in the present com
bination isqute probable. The advantages
resulting from the combination have been
too thoroughly demonstrated by the expe-
rience of tho last eight months to be lightly
considered or inconsiderately surrendered.

combination is likely to be continued

The Coal Combination.

A Philadelphia dispatch of the sth inst,
says AT the last meeting of the Board of
Control of the coal combination DR.. Linder-
man, representing the Lehgh interests, re-
fused TO vote TO continue the present compact
until the lst of April. He stated that his
colleague, Mr. Wilber, and himself were not
authorized to act for a date subsequent to
the end of the year. He announced, how
ever, that Lehigh trade meeting would be
called to determine the question as to their
continuance. There is great dissatisfaction
among the Lehigh men as to the present
method Of carrying out the compact. The
Lehigh producers declare that their limit
oiproduction under the scale of the Board Of
Control is entirely inadequate. They are
in favor of continuance Of the combination,
but will insist upon a modification of their
proportion of shipments. The present dis
satisfaction may result in the dissolution of
the combination at the end of the year un-
less the other corporations will yield TO the
demands Of the Lehigh, which has always
been the obstreperous element in the Board.

THE STORM ON MONDAY EVENING.

On Monday evening last poor sweltering
humanity was relieved by copious and
refreshing rainfall, which, although attain
ing the dignity of thunder storm of highly
respectable proportions, was gladly well
coined by perspiring mortals who, for nearly
two weeks, had been watching the mercury
among the nineties. Not only did the dusty
denizens of the town welcome the grateful
rain as means of hoped for relief from
the oppressive heat, but to the farmer it
was doubly welcome. To him it meant
vigor and life to the suffering corn, and
fresh verdure to the parched pasturage.
In the vicinity Of Elkton, although ac-
companied by severe lightning, it did, so
far as learned, no very serious damage.
On Bohemia Mannor, however, particu-
larly below Pivot Bridge, the high wind
played havoc with the grain shocks and
straw ricks, which were scattered in every
direction by it's force The lightning was
particularly severe, the atmosphere being
very heavily surcharged with electricity.
In Chesapeake City tree was struck
near the house of Thos. Conrey, occupied
by DR.. Grist, and glancing from it, struck
the house, which it slightly damaged
Strange to say the inmates of the house
we ot affected, while several persons at
moe remote distances felt the shock very
sensibly.
At North East it struck the hog pen of
Alfred Foard and killed five hogs that were
in it. 1t also struck the pen of Benjamin
Abrams and killed two hogs belonging to
him.
In the neighborhood of Middletown the
full force of the storm seemed to expend
itself, as was indicated here by the dark
mass of clouds in that direction. At the
Middletown depot the telegraph operator
was knocked from his table, although not
seriously hurt. Near st. Anne's Church
the barn of James Dodson was struck and
its contents destroyed, while along the line
of the Delaware Railroad the lightning
was SO severe, that workmen engaged in
replacing upon the track a displaced en-
CINE, were compelled to desst from work.
Az I1dFIc ut UIdCc GuC tlcCILlCdi
was grand and unusual. At times the en-
tire sky was illumined by the lightning
bolts, which, in some instances, seemed to
form concsntric rings and circles, and again
radia.ing from common center, like the
sparks of wheel. During the storm the
lightning ignited the barn and carriage
house of W. II. H. Whiteford, near Darl
ington, in Hartford county, destroying them,
with their contents. The barn of Amos
Courtney, one mile south of Aberdeen, was
also struck by lightning about 8 O'Clock
the same night and totally Destroyed
Walter Palmer's barn, near Perrymans-
vile, was also destroyed by lightning on
the same evening and two valuable horses
killed.
In the adjoining sections of Pennsylva-
mia and Delaware, the storm was also par
ticularly severe, a number Of casualties
being reported as its result. AT Port De-
posit, on Tuesday, the lightning was also
severe, one particular heavy bolt descend
ing in the street, near the residence of Jacob
Tome, and making it uncomfortably close
to number of gentlemen seated on the
porches near by.

SELF BINDER.

Cub INC l1SG VI tIiS "cchs Anu We are
pleased to announce, that no accidents with

our vicinity, as is sometimes the case.
SELF BINDER.
Mr.. G. w. Oldham, has purchased and
operated a self binder in his wheat crop,
with entire satisfaction. Farmers, from all
parts of the neighborhood have been visit
ing him to see it's operations, and left fully
convinced that it did its work successfully.
DEATH.
Mr.. John Underwood, whose property
adioins our town, died Oh last Saturday
week, aged II years. Mr. Underwood has
been in feeble health for several years, and
his death was FASTENED, it is thought, by
the operation of robbers on his premises
about year ago. His remains were in
Thursday, followed by a large concourse of
friends.
ACCIDENT
Mr.. Charles Churcbman, while operating
a hay fork, in the barn of DR.. J. A. Mearns,
on Saturday last, was accidentally thrown
from the load, and both wrists put out of
joint. DR.. M. rendered the necessary aid,
and MIR. c. is slowly recovering.
AROUND.
The two largest people on earth, with
their combination of wonders, exhibited
here on last Saturday afternoon and even
ing. At the evening entertainment their
mammoth pavilion was creditaby filled, all
anxious to gaze upon the young lad Powers
and his sister--althongh, the beautiful
Militia Zulu-the snake charmer, received
the most attention from our young bloods.
wooDCoCK
season is at hand, and numerous excursions
into the swamps and deep .iungles along
North East creek are taken by some of our
sports; yet they are reported as not being
very plentiful, although the prospects some
weeks ago seemed very flatterng.
PLENTY.
Steamers and improved grain separators,
seem to have become epidemic, in this end
of the county, and the old tread power has
become thing of the past, Judging from
the new ones that have been added to the
list already. Among the new list we note
the following: Mr.. Jno. w. Dawson & Co.,
Mr.. w. c. Hambleton & Co., Mr.. Amos
Rogers, Mr.. j. w. Ham5leton and Mr.. F.
J. Boyd. So farmers in this vicinity need
not be delayed long in having their grain
made ready for the market.

completion. DIR. J. A. Mearns' residence
