CANNING.-John IT, Hoffecker's canning
factory will finish up on tomatoes this
week, having been in continuous operation
on peaches and tomatoes since the last of
July. 1t has experienced some difficulty
this year in getting supply of tomatoes
at home as formerly, and has been under
the necessity Of drawing on the vicinity of
Wyoming.
INSPECTORS ELECTIoN.-The Little Elec.
ton" passed off yesterday very quietly.
| There were only 538 votes cast out of a total
poll of over 500. In 1876 the vote was
43S and in 1874 603. j. w. Denney was
elected Inspector over Carey Frazier by
l38 majority and Joshua L. Jerman Asses.
sor, over VIM. A. FAIRIES by 1873 majority.
At the last "little election''-lS76 the
Democratic majority was l64 and in 1874
IS.
RAMA more welcome rain than thai
which fell on Monday night has rarely evel
been received by our townspeople. ltwas 6
relief to breath air that was not filled with
dust-the latter commodity being greatly
increased by the clay with which the streets
had been manded hree weeks ago, becom
ing an impalpable powder. Everything
was needing rain; even the wheat drill
were mostly stopped waiting for the needed
showers.
THE election laws give the Inspecto
necessarily great deal Of arbitrary power
but there is a proper limit where all fai
minded men should and do stop. Ever
voter has his rights and they should be re
spected without any unnecessary delay o
higling. To do otherwise, if he be mai
of integrity it is questioning his character
and the righ of an oath is not even dene
in the highest court Of Justice. The ma
behind the window is there for one da
only: in that day he may leave other
/ years to estimate his character
> PERsoNAL.-George T. Baggs, who ha
been assisting his father in the Post offict
! left last week for Baltimore where he ha
Y entered the Maryland University La
! School.
! P. P. Collins, proprietor Of the Smyrn
House, has been great sufferer for th
u past two or three weeks from an attack
i articular rheumatism.

Berlin, Md.
Q Rev. John E. Webb, P. f., will preach
o Centennial Church next Sunday evening
a quarterly meeting occasion.
o WHILE there has been perhaps no great
% amount Of serious illness than usual, the
lr has been a greater amount of chills ar
4 fevers the past few weeks than for maj
/. years. While saying this we think '
Il have been less affected than other plac
n in this State and on the Peninsula al
1t even New Jersey and particular localiti
o further north. In fact the ague has
~ come ss common or perhaps more prev
y lent in the northern and eastern Stat
n than with us. The great excess of chi
Te and fevers this year throughout the count
at is doubtless attributable to the dry SUNNI
s and fall. The good rain OF yesterday W
~ doubtless have radical effect on the EN-
Is sion of malarial influences.
