1t is our painful duty to record the death of Mr..
Henry Gilcher, of Fairfield avenue who died
about noon yesterday. Mr.. Gilcher removed here
from Newport a few years ago and engaged in the
bakery business, which was unsuccessful. He af
terwards moved to Newport, where he again COM

Respondent and he had been in broken health
ever since. Mr.. Gil cher was about forty years of
age, and leaves six orphan chi dren, the oldest a
girl sixteen years of age. Friends will arrive to-
day and take charge OF the remains, which will be
buried tomorrow at p m. Mr. Gilcher belonged
to two societies, the benefits of which, with his
property, we are glad 10 say, will not leave his
orphans unprovided for.

We are now having some rain. when Is

many of our mills had 10 stop grinding,
and some springs and wells were drled up,
which put the people to greaS lnconVe-

The wheat is looking very well, IN some
places considering the dry weather, but Ills
generally more backward than usual. eome
farmers are fearing that it willnot have suf-

winter should be very cold. A full crop
has been seeded in our county.
Quite an extensive trade has been carried
on in railroad-ties, tan-bark. hoop-poles,
and sumac, this year. 1t has given employ
ment to great many hands and teams that
would have, been idle owing to the dry
weather. Farmers could not falloW, but
