Chief Justice Bartol delivered the opinion
Of the Court Of Appeals in the case of the
franklin Bank Of Baltimore VS.. Edward
Lynch, of Westminster, on Tuesday, appealed
from the Circuit Court OF Carroll county.
The appellee, living in Westminster, sent to
Baer x Co., Of Baltimore, on July u, 1878,
telegram, stating they could draw on him
for 500. This was on Saturday. On Mon.
day, the goth, Baer 4 Co., drew the 500
draft at sight, and the amount thereof was
placed to their credit by the Franklin Bank
of Baltimore. The draft was sent to a bank
in Westminster for collection, and on the eth
day OF May, 1878, was presented to the appel.
lee, who refused to pay the same, whereupon
u was protested for non-payment. Upon
this state Of facts the Circuit Court instructed
the jury that if they find that the draft was
never presented to the defendant for accep.
lance, and that there was no acceptance OF
the same by him otherwise than that to be in.
ierred or implied from the telegram, aud that
he refused to pay the same when presented to
him for that purpose on the eth of May, 1873,
then the plaintiff is not entitled to recover
under the pleadings in this cause, even though
the jury may find the telegram was sent BY
the defendant aud received by Baer 4 Go.
and that the plaintiff knew of the telegram
and received the draft, and credited the firm
Of Baer 4 Co, with the amount thereof on
the faith of the telegram and of the authority
thereby given by the defendant to said firm.
To this the plaintiff excepted. The Court OF
Appeals says the court below erred in giving
this instruction to the jury and reyerses the
Judgment, and ordered new trial Maulsby
for appellant Roberts and Smith for appellee.
On the same day, Judge Alvey delivered
the opinion of the court in No. 30, John Johns
vs.. John Marsh, malicious prosecution, ap.
pealed from Circuit Court Of Baltimore coun.
ty, judgment affirmed with costs. Merrick
for appellanii Maulsby for appellee.

Harvest is over, and We are glad to say we
had very favorable weather for storing The
crops, though some refreshing showers would
have been iayorably received Most of our
farmers will finish housing their timothy and
oats this week
We are having a very continued drought at
present, and unless we have rain at an early
date, our farmers will be obliged to turn their
cattle into the meadows, as the fields are be-
coming bare, aud what little grass remains is
so dry and scorched that cattle will not eat il.
Grass walks and lawns are turning their rich
green to a golden straw color. Garden vege-
tables are nearly all dried up, and corn
