A DISTRESSING and Fatal Accident.-0n Satur-
day last little boy about or years ofage, son
of Mr.. Fred. Gephart, who lives about a mile east
of Beckleysville, accidentally fell into well at
his fathers residence. The father, losing all pres
ence of mind and thinking only of saving his boy,
to whom he was very much attached, Immediately
jumped into the well after him. and although the
well is said to be about 90 feet in depth with about
feet of water in it, the father held his boy above
his head out of the water until some one who hap
pened to be passing at the time in a wagon went
to Beckleysville and obtained the necessary apa-
ratus and help to draw them out. When they
were rescued the child was dead and the father
badly injured. Mr.. Gephart is native Of Ger
many and tailor by occupation and although he
had no vote he took an active part in the cam
paign last fall in behalf of the Republican nOmi-
nees and did the lettering on the transparancies
carried in the torch-ight procession of the Mid
dletown Garfield & Arthur club. He has, doubt
not, the sympathy, and if he needs it should have
the aid of every member of the Club in his dis
tressing affliction and bereavement.

We do not think the President could appoint
man to that position that would give more general
satisfaction to the mass of Republican voters of
the State than would Mr.. Harris That he is
popular with the masses no one can for moment
entertain doubt as he is the only Republican
who has been able to carry the State of Maryland
since the Democrats obtained control of it four
teen years ago. He was elected Governor in 1875
as fairly as any man ever was elected, and
although he was counted out it shows conclusvely

Tin Wedding.-Perhaps one of the most pleas
ant and happy entertainments given for some time
was the celebration of the "tn wedding" of Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Councilman, at their residence on
Wednesday afternoon Almost every conceivable
article of tinware was brought by their many
friends and the evening was spent in enjoyments
of various kinds, including music. portion of
the Gardenville band assisted in the entertain
ment. At late hour the company dispersed,
wishing that the happy couple might live to enjoy
their "golden wedding"
Rain Needed.-At this writing suffering
for want of rain, and if the drouth continues it
will make the grass crop very short. Oats also
look very badly Some of our farmers have finished
planting corn. Those who had their ground plow
ed early in the season were Fortunate as it is now
getting very hard. The weather is, think, un
usually hot for the II tn of May, the thermometer
to-day "wednesday running up into the eighties,
which makes one feel like getting into thinner
garments.
GOOD Hea.-I notice that almost every one is
whitewashing and by doing identifying their
fences and buildings. This is right. How much
better everything looks after being treated to
coat of whitewash and it be procured at so
little outlay and it makes things appear cheerful
and comfortable.

Weather aud the Crops.-We are having Sum
mer heat (mercury at 9C0) and its effect is visible
in the rapid growth Of vegetation. Corn and po-
tatoes will soon be ready for the cultiyator Rain
is much needed, particularly for the grass and
late grain. The early sown grain has made very
rapid growth and notice that some of Captain
Thomas Loves is already lodging. The effect of
the different kinds of fertilizers is already notice
able and is the subject of general remark. When
extra good results are realized sign is posted,
stating the kind and price of the fertilizer used.
One great advantage of last Falls sowing was
that the wheat was got in early. Early blowing
of the ground even makes a difference in the
grain. 1t is not my province to state, through
your columns, the fertilizers most beneficial in
this section.
Literary.-The Everett Literary Society held
its final meeting for the season at the residence Of

18th inst, there being good attendance ofladies
and gentlemen. Many questions were asked and
answered, for which purpose half hour is allot-

The question for the June meeting is "The saving
