E-0RGANIZATION OF DANIEL CLUB OkAPh
sBIPMgSTs-HEAT AND DROUGHT.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispach.l
AUGUST "a, 1881.
The building known as The " Ivy Hou:e,"
at present owned by Mr.. j. b. Smith. was
burned about 4 o'clock this morning. There
is no positive information as to the origin
Of the fire, but the strong suspicion is that
Il was the act OF an inceBdiary. There WAS
no Are or light used anywhere in the vicini-
~ Of the building when the fire was first
discovered. The loss is probably $4,000 !;
insured for $4,000 The "Ivy House !"
was one OF the old University landmarks,
and had for many years been used as a
boarding house for students.
A Daniel Club was organized here last
week, with John Nj. White, Esq, a. presi.
dent, and a very efficient corps Of other
officers. 1t will do good work for the
cause during the canvass.
Grape AID peach shipments still contin.
ue. aad the quantity thus far hiss exceeded
that OF any previous year, being about
10000 pounds. This is from this point
alone. Shipments are made from other
depois in the county, which would swell
The amount TO many thousands more.
The drought is getting TO be alarming.
From almost every quarter OF the county
comes the same story, +" Burnt up" The
grass in the upland fields has disappeared,
and the corn is very badly II not irreyoca-
bly, damsged. Should we have rain soon,
however, this crop may be brought out TO a
great extent. The two branches OF the Ri
wanna, several miles north OF Us, It is said,
could be damned with a barrel. The heat
is alec oppressive.
