Mean OF May for many years in the Middle At

at this point 63 and 3S3 degrees. May l8T7, gave
5S.6S degrees. The mean temperature of May at
this point, as far as my record extends, has been
about 60 degrees.
Frost was observed here three mornings during
the month, on the I'd, ID and 10th. The 23d and
oath gave frost in low places, but as far as have
heard no injury has been sustained. noticed that
during the warm damp weather that followed the

previous cold or other causes it is difficult to de-
termine.
Rain fall 245 inches; mean for May, 3.75 inches

sve, period Of q days, only 017of an inch fell
In the rains of the 10th, 18th and 18th 21 inches
fell, or almost all the rain of the month.
The deficiency in rain fall has materially short
ened the growth of grass and probably has injur-
ed the oat crop permanently. The later grasses
may yet recover. 1t strikes me that the wheat
heads are shorter than usual; but the farmer may
comfort himself with the fact that the plant food
undissolved still remains in the soil. In May 1875
there fell at this point only 81 Of an inch of rain,
in all the month
While both April and May have given means of
temperature almost up to the average mean for
these months, vegetation is backward. account
for this in the fact that the temperature has been
unusually steady, keeping about the mean all the
time, and so rather too low to hurry growths. The
temperature of the first half of a spring month
may be so low as to give very moderate mean for
the entre month"; while during the last half ii NAV

Since your dear George is gone
But oh, brighter home than ours

No more you'll clasp him in your arms
Or nurse his little head;
No more you'll watch his gentle Sleep
For he your child is dead.
He sleeps in Jesus and is best,
How sweet his slumbers are!

Ana freed from every snare.

Let not Il tear be shed,
He sweetly sleeps i'm Jesus,
Among the silent dead.

JoURNALIsTIc.-The Telegram and the
STANDARD, of Baltimore, have been consolida-
ted, and the union has resulted in the produc-
ton of an extremely lively and outspoken
Democratic paper. Mr.. j. T. Ringgold, of
the Telegram, and Mr.. w. NJ Connolly, of the
.StandaTd are both men who have convictions
and are not afraid to put them in print. The
Telegram has been unsparing in its denuncia-
tions of the Electoral Commission fraud
which set aside the will of majority of the
people ofthe United States, and the announce
ment is made that no change will occur in the
position of the paper in reference to national
politics. We cordially tender our best wishes
to the Telegram. One of its notable features is
series of papers, now running, on "Thc Do
ings of Maryland Boys in Gray" giving
complete history of the careers of all MARYLAND
Confederate Soldiers, whether serving in
Maryland organizations, or elsewhere.
Our esteemed contemporary The Bauimo,ean
published by Messrs Crutchlield g. Haas, last
week entered upon its eighth volume. The
BtItimOrean is handsomely printed, edited
with ability and care, and the success it has
achieved is well merited. 1t a popular fami
ly newspaper, both on account of its admira
BILE selections and the attention it gives TO
matters of local interest outside of the cur-
rent news furnished by the daily journals.

General Grant's Chances in 1ssO.

The New York Sun has been figuring up
General Grants chances of election in 1890,
should he be the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. 1t says:
A good many jealous Republicans affect to
believe, and perhaps really think, that with
Grant for candidate, and with troops at the
polls, and with plenty of supervisors and dep
uty marshals, they can surely carry the next
Presidential election.
Have these sanguine stalwarts taken a fair
look at the figures? Let them ponder their
lessons, and gather wisdom from the same
A majority of the electoral votes is 1885,
The class of Republicans to whom we refer,
and indeed all kinds of Republicans, admit
that their candidate, whoever he may be, will
not receive single electoral vote in the South
ern States, and that his sole reliance must be
upon the North.
The Northern States which went for Hayes
in 1876 cast 1866 votes. This number is 10 short
of majority. Four Northern States went
for Tilden-New York with 35 votes, Con-
necticut with 6, New Jersey with o, and In
diana with 15-making an aggregate of Co.
Let us, for the sake of the calculation, concede
that Grant would carry all the Northern
States that Hayes did, and then where is he
to make up the deficiency of 10 votes? 1t
will be remembered that the whole South is
conceded to the Democratic candidate And
upon the theory that Grant would carry all
the Hayes States, he must get the needed 10
votes from the four States that went for Til
den.
Where can he find them? Indiana is as sure
to go for the Democratic nominee in 1880 as
is Kentucky. Connecticut may vote for the
Republicans, and there is bare possibility
that New Jersey might go in the same dircc-
ton, though there is far less probability that
these two States should take that course than
there is that Oregon, California, and Nevada
should throw their 10 votes for the Demo
cratic candidate. But give to Grant the Ii
votes of Connecticut and New Jersey, and he
would still lack four of a majority
OF course, if Grant could secure all the
Northern States that went for Hayes, and then
add to them the b votes of New York he
would be elected. This result would give a
total of POI votes. But if he were to carry
New York and all the Northern Hayes States
except Ohio, the loss of its 90 votes would re-
duce his total to 179, which would be six short
of a majority

feet in height, and at their base the clear waters
of Deer Creek murmur with unceasng flow over
well-worn boulders on their way to the broad
Susquehanna. The surrounding scenery is pic
turesque and pleasing, and the wild beauty of the
spot is enhanced by the many romantic and
touching legends connected with the early settle
ment of the country, which cluster around it.
Mr.. Wysong has gathered and placed in per
manent form many of these mythical stories of
the past, and his efforts have resulted in pleas.

seventy eight pages, has been handsomely print

DISTRESSING FIRE AT HAGERsTowN.-
Early on Thursday morning of last week the

caught fire and was entirely destroyed The
building was crowded, court being in session,
and as the flames suddenly swept through
the halls and stairways, scene of dire con-
sternation and confusion ensued Women
shrieked for their husbands and children, and
men for their wives. Those who were IA
milar with the house escaped by the back
stairway Others made their way to the
ground by climbing down the posts of the
balcony, from story to story The alarm was
SO sudden that very few were able to save
their clothing and were happy to escape with
their lives, in their night dresses Mr.F.B
Snively, of Shady Grove, Pa, crazed by the
fire, sprang from fourth story window and
was fatally injured. Mr.. Troxcl, of Cumber-
land, was burned to death, his body having
been seen to fall from an upper story into the
fire beneath. A large number of persons
were severely injured The building was
valued at $4,000 and was fully insured tits
believed to have been set on fire by incendia-
ries.
