damage By the Storm Very Serious Accident
Fail from a Building, 6c.-A heavy storm pre-
vailed in this section on Saturday, 2Sth ultO. The
wind very strong and the rain fell in torrents
The force of the storm expended in about
twenty minutes. The roof Of the sizing house of
the Alberton mill was partly blown of, but was re-
placed after the storm the damage was trifling.
A much more serious accident happened at
"Hollofeds,' Howard county, about a mile from
Elysville Michael Kaiser, residing near Union
Mills, had stopped his team under large willow
tree, to deliver some goods to customer, and had
resumed his seat in the wagon, when the tree sud-
denly snapped off about three feet from the ground,
catching Mr.. Kaiser between the trunk, and the
strong oak seat of his wagon. Assistance was soon
procured, but axes required to release the in =
jured man from his dangerous position. He was
removed to the house of John Bortle near by,
where he was kindly cared for. Dr. W. B. Gam
brill was called, and word sent to Mr.. Kaiser's
brother, at Ellicott City, who soon arrived with
DIR. W. II. Worthington the family physician.
Examination revealed one broken rib and a broken
collar bone, with numerous severe bruises. He
was put in as comfortable condition possible
and sent to his home, by the mail train. Subse-
quent examination has revealed the fracture of
two additional ribs. At present writing he is do
ing well and will probably recover.
During the storm a small quantity of hail fell,
but as usual this section escaped severe vista
tion. Some damage was done by washing as the
rainfall was very heavy for the short time the
storm lasted.
Albert and Edward Hipsey, of Marriottsville,
were slightly injured at Woodstock College, ON
Monday, 3Oth ulto. They at work a sum
mer house, on the College grounds, when the scaf-
fold gave way, precipitating them to the ground,
a distance of about Is feet. They were attended
by Brother Johnnie" the infrmarian of the Col
lege. Both were able to return home in the even
ing. BART.

From Philopolis, 9th District.-The Wheat
and Hay HarUest-PuJiic Roads Closing Erer-
cises Of School, ec.-The grain having ripened
well every effort has been put forth to it in
good condition and by the close of this week the
work will be about completed. Some farmers are
hauling the wheat to their barns while Others are
threshing it out. Both wheat and rye heads are
well filed the quality of the grain being excellent
The quantity will fall considerably below that OF
last year. The Futz wheat was chiefly sown and
seems to excel any other variety this season.
The weather having been fine the hay is of ex-
cellent quality but the crop is much shorter than
last years. great deal is yet to be cut.
Our public roads have been well managed and
are now in excellent condition. Our supervisor,
Mr.. Chas. Brooks, has given them every attention,
and when he was unable to work the roads they
were given out those living adjacent to them, and
those persons feeling an interest in the work have
done it in a satisfactory manner.
The public school as Sparks Switch, Miss Mol
lie E. Brown, teacher, held its closing exercises
Monday afternoon. AS usual the teacher gave
the children handsome and abundant treat
which greatly enjoyed In return the children
presented their teacher with large and handsome
cake, of which her friends partook with apparent
Zest.
The earth is very dry and rain is needed for
corn and vegetables. Potatoes have done well
thus far and if the weather is seasonable the crop
will be above the average. Oats do not present a
very satisfactory outlook. Some fields promise
well while others are short. PHILOPoLIS.

from Tree-Sdtwdoys Sorm-Ti Timely Rains
Early Corn-ShHck by Lightning, dc.-On Satur-
day morning last Howard Amos, aged 20 years,
son of Mr.. Chas. II. Amos, living on the Belar
road, fell from cherry tree, caused by the break
ing of limb on which he was sitting, to the
ground, n distance of 25 feet, breaking his arm
between the elbow and shoulder and disocating
the shoulder joint. His father was near at hand
and with the assistance of neighbOrs the young
man was carried to the house. DIR. Whiteford soon
arrived and set the broken bones, and the patient,
who also seriously bruised, is doing well at
this writing.
The storm which passed over this section ON
Saturday afternoon last was accompanied by very
high wind, which did much damage to the wheat
which had not yet been harvested. Around the
city fences were blown down and the damage was
considerable.
The rains of Saturday and Sunday were most
acceptable and the ground is now in good condi-
tion for plowing. Many took advantage of this
and before this weeks issue of the UNION reaches
its readers much ground which was in wheat will
be broken up and planted in fall crops
Some of our gardeners took in their first early
corn this week, which is only few days behind
season. The first crop, which is very small at
best, is shorter this year than usual owing to the
dry weather of the past month.
The barn on the property of Mr.. Brown, occu-
pied by Mr. Hack, was struck by lightning on
Saturday afternoon last, but was not set on fire.
A portion of the roof was torn off, which was the
extent of the damage. Mr.. Hack was in the barn
at the time but escaped injury, as did also his
horses and other stock. NJ. A. R.

attend the commencement exercises of his alma

too heavily handicapped he will give those, who
have been in the race before him, hard tussle be-
fore the goal is reached. Mr.. Slingluff is lawyer
of recognized ability, besides being gentleman Of
the most generous and kindly impulses, which
characteristics have gained for him hosts of friends
who will learn with pleasure of his determination
to become candidate The race is a sort of "free

contest takes place in the convention, to find that

the servants at the Blind Asylum on North Boun-
Diary avenue have missed different articles from
their rooms, and although they were convinced
that they had been stolen were unable to account
for the thefts. Finally they informed the super
intendent, Mr.. Morrison, of what had been going
on when that gentleman ordered them to lock the
doors of their rooms. This they did and Mr.
Morrison watched the rooms, and to his great sur
prise found that the thefts were being committed
by two blind boys, inmates of the institution
These boys got out upon the porch roof and groped
their way along until they came to the windows
of the servants rooms through which they entered
their apartments. And thus the mystery was eX-

Accom- Story.-Messrs. Jacob Friend and
Joseph Seeger, of Baltimore county, (says the San
of Thursday went on coon hunt on Mr.. RObt
Lawson's place. adjoining Spring Grove, on Mon
day last. They treed the game, and after various
expedients to insure a capture, Mr.. Seeger threw
a stone which did the work effectually. The
game was carried into Catonsville triumphantly,
where an inquest was held and the verdict was
that the coon was badger, and to prove it Web
ster's Unabridged was brought forth by juror, in
which there is picture of the badger, sometimes
called grounding. This proved great news to
Catonsville, for the oldest inhabitant, who had
been called to the witness stand, had never before
seen badger. 1t is believed that the grounding
was driven from his lair by the late cyclone, and
now that Mr. Seeger has killed him there need be
no more disauietude on this score.
