WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Juno re-
port of the Department of Agriculture says
that the acreage sown in oats shows an in.
crease of per cent. ovor 1879. Tho
Gulf and Southern inland States show
little or no change from last year. The
average condition Of the crop is much bet
ter than last year, and is 50 against 81 in
10 June, 1873. Texas, of oil tho Gulf
States, is the only one that reports above
lO0. Tho general complaint is drought in
all the middle and South Atlantic States;
rust and too much rain in the Gulf and
Southern States. The acreage of clover
shows 20 very material change from last
year, the only change being noticeable
increase in the cotton growing States and
Pacific slope. The prospects of good
fruit growing season is scry favorable.

A Cyclone in Columbia.

PRESIDENTIAL STRAWS.

Blaine and Isayard to the Front.
AS fair and expeditions means of catch
ing the drift Of public sentiment, in this
vicinity, on the presidential question, a
reporter of the INTELIIGENCER took a
stroll up North Queen street from Centre
Square to the Pennsylvania railroad depot,
and interviewed all the voters he met as to
their first choice for president of the
United States. OF 227 voters interviewed
121 were Democrats and 106 Republicans.
The Democratic preferences were as fol-
lows Bayard, 43; Mcclellan, %; Sey-
mour, 81 Tilden, 20; Thurman, 3 -; Ham
cock, g; Joel Parker, 2; Hendricks, Z;
undecided, 6.
The Republican preferences were :
Blaine, 80; Grant, 13; Washburn, 1;
"Anybody to beat Grant, 2; undecided,
10.
1t will be noticed that the Democratic
vote is much divided, and that "the
field" has more than twice as many friends
as the favorite. Among Republicans, on
the other hand, Blaine, the favorite, can
double-discount all competitors and have
votes enough left to win.
1t is but fair to state that the reporter
did not pretend to make a canvass of the
voters residing on North Queen street, be-
tween Centre square and the depot but
that the above were merely "caught on
the fly during brief walk.

BURGLARS AT EPHRATA.
Considerable Damage Done to store

Considerable Damage Done to a store.
Last night gang of burglars attempted
to get into the dry goods and grocery
store of John Seldomridge, which is
situated near the depot in Ephrata. They
broke a large plate glass in the front of
the building which was valued at SIS.
They also broke eleven smaller panes of
glass in different parts of the building.
Mrs. Seldomridge was awakened by the
noise she gave the alarm and a clerk,
who is employed in the building, imme-
diately went down stairs when the bur-
glars fled, before they had secured any.
thing. The men who committed the out
rage are supposed to be four tramps, who
were in the village yesterday but could
not be found this morning.
The same gang it is believed, then went
to the United Brethren's church, and
bombarded the windows with stones,
breaking about fifteen large panes of glass.
The sexton, whose residence adjoins the
church, hearing the noise, got up and rang
the church bell, whereupOn the rufians
dispersed. Efforts are making to discover
and punish them for their outrages.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

An Old Employee of the Company Killed
James Martin, of Columbia, who is en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany as shifter at that point, was last
evening crushed to death between two
trains while in the discharge of his duty
1t appears that Mr.. Martin was shifting
one of the trains, to which he had his
mules attached and which were driven by
his son, and he for the purpose of giving
directions took position between the two
trains, thinking there was sufficient room,
but being only six inches space between
the trains, he was wedged between them
and almost instantly killed. Mr.. Martin
was about forty-eight years of age and has
been in the employ Of the company for
about twenty years. He leaves a wife and
nine children.
Deputy Coroner Frank held an inquest
on the body, the verdict of the jury being
in accordance with the above facts.

Marrying Under Dimculties.

Mofrytng Under O1mculeaeSs
On Thursday morning q week, at Fish
erville, in Augusta county, Virginia, at the
early hour Of 3 O'Clock, young man, Mr..
H. c. Miles, and young lady, Miss Addie
L. Wagner, boarded the express train for
West Virginia for the purpose of getting
married. On Thursday morning they ar
rived at Lewisburg, where they expected
to be married, but were disappointed. The
Lewisburg Criterion describes the pros
pective groom as " an embryo moustached
youth" and the bride as ga tall and
rather good looking semi-blonde." The
Criterion says:
The young lady herself related her ad-
ventures with great gusto to an admiring
group who surrounded her at the Lewis
burg hotel-bow she left while her mother
was visiting and her father at the wood
pile, how she spent a day in an old barn
waiting for her lover, how they got lost in
the woods while they were stealing their
way to Fishersville, on the B. s. o. r. w.,
and after wandering about all night
were thrown into CONSERVATION ON
finding themselves, in the morning,
only few hundred yards from
her fathers house. Having finish
ed her eloquent recital she announced her
intention to array herself Immediately in
immaculate white for the nuptials that
were now at last to be cOnsummated. The
young gentleman engaged the services of
MIR. Wilhelm, anu now nothing remained
but to get the license. He moved in conf
dence on the clerks office. But alas MIR.
SPOTS, the inexorable, refused the license.
The bridal dress had to be dOffed. But the
spirit of the fair wearer was not crushed.
She declared that she had tried three
times to get married before, and that she
was going to be married this time if she
had to 60 to the end of the world. When
she announced her plans the young man
gracefully acquiesced. That evening they
left accompanied by LUe Thomas, and,
under his skillful leadership, have doubt
less ere this been victorious.

THE IRISH RELIEF.
The Cause In Canada.

OTTAWA, Feb: 25.-In the House of
Commons, yesterday, during a debate on
an appropriation for Irish relief, Mr.. Mac
kenzie said he had observed in telegraphic
dispatches that an amendment had been
made to the ministerial bill in England for
relief of the Irish poor, stipulating that
every person receiving such relief should
be disfranchised. He desired that no con-
tribution from Canada should be used to
disfranchise any one in Ireland.
Sir John Macdonald said this law was
part of England's poor law, but he would
see that representations we're made to the
effect that Canadian funds should not be
applied to disfranchising any Irish voter.

but could not reach the lines. He got out
of the front of the wagon and upon the
shaft and attempted to mount the horse,
but in doing SO was thrown heavily to the
ground at the corner of Prince and Chest
nut streets, and some persons who wit
messed the accident say the wagon passed
over him. His head and face were badly
cut and bruised and he suffered severe in
ternal injury. He was carried into DR.. A.

essary attention, and was then taken to
his home in Groffstown. The runaway

CONGRESS-,

House in Committee of the Whole.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-In the House
Mr.. Blount (Ga.), from the committee on
appropriations, reported back the Star ser
vice deficiency bill and it was referred to a
committee of the whole. The House then,
at 1890 m, went into committee on that
bill.
Mr.. Blount, in the course of his speech on
the Star service deficiency bill. denounced
in very severe terms the postmaster gen.
eral and the second assistant postmaster
general for their gross violation of law in
making contracts to the amount of 81, 700, :
900 beyond the appropriation, and thus
placing Congress in the attitude either
of endorsing their action or leaving
the country without such mail ser
vice for three months. He intimated that
such conduct deserved impeachment.
