good shape, after which oats and grass seed
were sown the former as protection to the

that timothy be sowu and covered with a thin

The recent great and destructive rain storms
in England and other parts of Europe afford
another illustration of the old adage-"lt is
an III wind that blows no body good, and
what is a misfortune Of the other Nations
may prove to be n very bonanza for the Uni
ted States. These severe storms in Europe
have, it is reported, destroyed even more
than half the crops; not only the grain and
hay, but Of fruit and produce generally, The
prospects there, as we are told by cable dis
patches, are hopelessly gloomy, and so much
so, that even fine weather for the balance OF
the summer can do very little to improve the
condition Of the crops Even prior to the oc-
currenoe of the last three days storm in
Europe, itwas estimated that England, France
and Germany would need nearly three hun
bred million bushels of wheat-the two first
named countries requiring the greater part
Of that amount for themselves. This neces'
sty has of course, been considerably aug
mented by the last storms which have occur
red, aud il is now estimated that 5000 ,OOO,'
600 worth Of wheat will be required by Europe
from foreign countries this year.

On Wednesday of last week Lena Barnes,
aged years, daughter of John Barnes, ear
penter and builder Mt Sykesville, while at

an out kitchen, the wind blowing down the
pipe, forced the flames out of the front Of the
stove and her dress caught on fire. The

hearing her cries ran to her assistance, but
before they succeeded in conquering the fire,
the child was SO badly burned that she died

The success that attended the first camp.
meeting at Freedom has been so gratifying
10 the managers that they have determined to
hold one at the same place next year. The
public were well pleased with everything ex.

bad management in this was very evident.

remark, the roads approaching the camp
ground showed evidence of very recent mead.
ing; in fact, they we're in better condition than
we ever remember of seeing them. Was this
done to impress our Howard county friends,
that our roads we're better than theirs or
was il simply done for campmeeting purposes
We hope our road supervisors will bear In
mind that the roads will be used some little
during the winter, and that they will try to
keep them as near as possible to n camp
meeting standard.
Sykesyille was highly complimented by o
visit from two of the representatives of the
Adrocdte who dropped in on us unaware, last
week, and made most favorable impression;
that the junior editor pleased the ladies
is beyond doubt, for we heard them remark:
