On Monday evening last q heavy thunder storm
was seen 10 the north and west Of us. There was
considerable wind, blowing do~n the corn, but
little rain fell in this immediate vicinity and more
Is needed for everything. Tho pastures generally
are suffering from the drought. Where much
stock Is kept with scasonablc weather the pasture
lands are injured when there IL constant grazing.
aud this Is why Mr.. Edward Austen sold OF his
cattle.
Notwithstanding the drought some good vege-
tabies--tomatoes aud cabbage have been grown
aud sold In the city. The new variety Of tomato,
called the Queen has been grown with satisfaction.
The growth Of cabbage has been retarded aud
hence they head slowly. One farmer has $4,000
early and late planting. and should the weather
yet prove seasonable will do very well. With pro.
per attention our land will produce tomatoes and
cabbage to perfection.
In a conversation with Mr.. L. Stewart he said
that he we'll remembered when tomatoes were not
grown and after they were introduced the people
were afraid TO eat them. lie has had much ex-
pcrience In the growth and selling Of fruits aud
vegetables. For many years he sold In the Balti.
more markets, when the seller was the grower, and
afterwards became q commission merchant. lie
was the first one who ever had stall; usually the
articles were sold from wagons. lie also stated
that he the first one TO have = strawberry crate
made and the FIRST 10 ship straw berries north from
Baltimore. lie often speaks Of the great differ
and in former years at the city markets.

The question has been asked whether objections
should be made by the farmers Of the county TO
the selling Of lager beer at the next agricultural
fair. The rules forbid the selling Of any intoxi-
cant. The officials say that IL IL not regarded as
an intoxicant while others say that Il Is and ought
not be sold within the enclosure. Those nterested

A High.Handed Piece OF business.

Three men. claiming TO be officers from the city,
two 81 them drunk, came to Towsontown on We'd
nestlay afternoon and going 60 the house Of Mr.
Lewis lieldc, baker, informed Mrs. Helde that
they came TO search her house for brother Of her
husband who vas charged with some henious
crime and who Was supposed 20 be concealed
there. Mr.. lIeide vas away at the tihe and no
one was at home but hs wife and children. all Of
whom very much frightened. Mrs. Heide
protested that her husband had no brother aud
told the that they should not search her house
but notwithstanding thi. they went up stairs and
rummased around through bureau drawers and
closets and finally left. Nothing vas missed AFTER
they had taken their departure and Il IL not
known what their object was. IL looks like .
high handed piece Of business that three strange
men. in broad daylight. should come into town
like this and go through house without any
thori,y to do The whole affair looks very
strange but IL may yet be explained in some way.
Since the above was in type IL has been learn
eli that one of the q Government detee-
tive from Washington aud that the other two
were cohstables from the city. and both drunk.
They pretended 60 be looking for q man who vas
charged with committing an indecent assault
upon a woman In Washington, and ON the sams
day they were here they arrested n man in Baiti-
more charged with the odense. Even IL they
we're officers IL was nothing less than outrage
for them 10 enter the house o. any man and 20
through Il without his consent or without being
armed with the proper warrant. And besides Of
