We were visited with another very
heavy rain last night-another flood, we
might say. Little Grave Creek overfowed
its banks, and considerable amount
damage was done in the way OF washing
out Of corn, wheat, &c. 1t was notquite
SO bad as the one OF few weeks ago, but
the damage of that food had been repair
ed as far as possible in the way OF replhnt-
ing, &C., and now this Is all lost-the fact
Is that 1t does not pay this year to farm

The temperance work still goes on. One
of those engaged in selling, together with
some fifty witnesses, was summoned be.

Unless the day prove unfayorable, there
will be large turn out at the camp

There are now about eight or ten tami-

General Hancock Wants the "Bar'l''
Rolled Out Again as In 1875.
New YoRK, July 2.-No decided steps
have been taken yet by the Democratic
National Committee towards getting ready
for the campaign, and nothing will be
done before the National Committee and
the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee perfect their organizations.
The latter will meet at noon on July l2,
at the Hoffman House, in this city, and
former on the following day, at noon, at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
1t is question who will be chosen per-
manent Chairman OF the National Com
mittee. The names most prominently
mentioned are Senator VIM. Ii. Barnum,
OF Connecticut, and Wm. L. Scott and
Senator Wallace, OF Pennsylvania. Mr..
Scott is now the member OF the National
Committee for Pennsylvania.
General Hancock, 1t is understood, has
signifed his wish that the same general
plan OF campaign shall be carried out as
was adopted in 1879. This is understood
to mean that the Tilden faction will hear
tily support the ticket. General Hancock
and his friends are especially anxious
that all the factions in New York shall
unite heartily on the National ticket.
Within the past day or two several rep
resentative men, from various States, have
called upon General Hancock TO consult
with and advise him as to the plan OF the
campaign. Prominent among these were
VIM. L. Scott, Gen. VIM. B. franklin, OF
Hartford; Senator Vance, OF North Caro-
lima, and Senator Wallace. There has
been number OF Southern men also.

WELIsBuRe, July 2.
Special Correspondence oil the IutelllEeneer.
The Democracy held their ratification
meeting ut the Court House last evening.
The house was tolerably we'll filed with
people Of all ages, and Of every variety OF
political belief.
In the course of time Mr.. @. B. Turner
moved that the meeting be organized by
W. P. Campbell taking the chair. The
motion was put and carried unanimously,
but Mr.. Campbell refused to move or say
word, and did not accept the chairman.
ship. 1t therefore became necessary to
select somebody else. Mr.. ]. B. sommer-
vile nominated Mr.. Beall, who was un-
animously elected. Mr.. Beall said: "Gen-
tlemen, l don't thank you for the honor,
but l will do what l can to help the meet.
ing along, and II thereis anything for me
to do l will do It."
He then approached the rostrum and
introduced to the audience Attorney Gen.
eral Robert White, who was received with
storm OF applause, in which the small
boy, whose delight 1t is To have the privi-
lege OF stamping, and'clapping his hands
unrestrained, contributed very largely.
The General opened by speaking In
choice language OF Winfield Scott Ham
cock. He gave a description OF the scene
in the Cincinnati Convention when VIM
field Scott Hancock was nominated. Then
followed the story OF how the noble chief
tiau would lead the Democratic hosts TO
victory and the White House in Novem-
ber, and how he would be inaugurated
Then "brother" Garfield got q little whack
for being In that disreputable crowd call
edIthe investigating committee that went
down South. Also.a whack for being on
that memorable electoral commission.
The General closed in the usual man
ner, amid deaiening applause, which was
always started from the same corner OF the
room by one or two Of the enthusiastic
brethren. The string band played one Of
their enthusing airs and Col. Arnett came
forth, We are sorry that We could not re.
main to hear the Col. through. We are
informed that his speech WAS full OF en-
thusiaam. The meeting was very quiet
and orderly one. Some fellow on the
street yelled for Hancock once, where
upon the chief Of the hand clapping
brigade in the house, started the racket.
There will be meeting Of the Garfield
and Arthur club on Tuesday evening at
the Town Hall.
There is nothing mapped out for the

mark;

In regard 10 manufactured iron the
