The Work Completed.

The work on the canal which has
been in progress for some time pas, I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Wright. has
been finally completed in most substan-
rial and thorough manner. The channel
is now quite capacious enough to carry
off the full flow Of the stream in times OF
the greatest floods, and, by a little adjunc-
tive sewerage and drainage, the flats adj
jacent to our village can now be thorough
ly drained; and the sanitary condition OF
the place be material Y improved. We
hope this will be done. Mr.. Wright de-
serves much credit for the skillful and
thorough manner in which he has dis
charged the duty assigned to him. The
cost of the work we unders and was about
$500 We would make the suggestion
that some kind of quick growing grass bt
sown on the newly made banks, in order
to form a turf and prevent their being
swept back into the stream in times OF
f.ods.

Steamer Mattano.

y statement appeared in the Iadcpea-
dant last week to The effect that the
steamer Msttano had been 'ately inspect
ed by the local inspectors and condemned
and would'be prohibited from continuing
her trips on lie river. This. we have since
learned from reliable authority, is q mis-
take, and one that needs immediate cor
rection, as il is calcu ated To do harm 10
the steamer by impairing the confidence
of her numerous patrons in her. The fact
is the Mattann has recently been thorough
ly inspected and pronounced TO he in ex-
cellent condition in every respect. and as
tar as disseminating her trips is concern
ed. due notice of that fact, when it occurs,
will be given through our co umrs where
her advertisement will Tor the future al
ways be found. We trust our neichbor
vi do the company the justice of cor
recting the mistake it has unwittingly
made.

The GlymOnt Tournament.

The tournament at Glymont on We'd
nesday last was undoubtedly the event of
the season, and one of the most enjoyab e
affairs that we have ever attended. From
early morning long lines of vehicles of
every description could be seen vending
their way towards the scene of the affair,
and by the time the riding began the
crowd was unusually large but one of the
most decorous assemblies that could have
been gathered. The knights, eighteen in
number. were marsha led into line at $50
o'clock by Chief Marshall, john I. Davis,
and marched to the Judges sand. Ow
ing to the absence Of the regular Y APP
pointed crater no charge was given them :;
the rules of the tourney were read by the
Chief Judge, and he riding Immediately
began. We regret that the want OF space
prevents our giving the score in fu !, which
We would like much to do, for The fitting
by those skillful, horsemen was m, st sue
cessful, and the victors we'll earned their
laurels At the conc usion of the fitting
it was found that seven sir knights had
each taken rings, and in riding off this
tie the following were successful: j. Per-
cival Bravner, who crowned as Queen of
Love and Beau Y, Miss Mar ena Dyer, of
Washing on; Mr.. Burnham, who in cen
sequence of the sickness of his particular
tavorite, refused to present the crown Of
the 1st maid to any one present; Mr.
Beale crowned Miss Kate Blandford, of
Prince Georges, as second maid and Mr..
Morris crowned Miss Leslie Cox, of
Charles as third maid. The coronation
took place in the spacious pavilion, width
er all had repaired 10 enjoy the pleasures
of terpsichore. The crowns were pre-
sented by Mr.. c F. Daley. The Queen
Miss Dyer, was most appropria ely chosen
tor as she stood with her gallant knight
to receive the diadem his proves had
won for her, she looked every inch re-
gal, royal queen, and her bright eyes wore
a most benign expression as she cast as
surfing and pleasant glaces on her subjects
gathered around to do homage to her
court. and most modestly did she receive
that homage, and most royalty rule that
brilliant assembly. The attendant maids
were all worthy of their queen, and made
up a regal court seldom surpassed. Dan
cling was INDUCED in by The beaux and
bellies until early morn, and al then left
success.

of the affair have been placed in the hands

The DrOuth Ended.

The severe drouth Of about two
months dura'ion with which our county,
in common with the greater portion of
the United States, has been lately visited,
terminated here on last Friday night by
gentle but thorough rain. Since then We
have had another fine rain on Sunday, and
the probabilities at the present writing
are favorable to continued moist weather..
Latter tobacco has improved wonderfully
since the rain, and some crops of latter
Germ will be materially beneti ted thereby
but the greater portion of boh the corn
and tobacco are irreparably bighted by
farmers as the quality of the present crop.
Many report that 'heir tobacco is curing
beautifully, and will be of most exec lent
quality, while some ihink the general quail
ity of the tobacco bighted by the drouth
will be tough and tibrous. The rain came
in tine to make following for next years
wheat crop practicable. so that it is not
likely that the drouth will have any effect
upon the prospect of that crop. The
grain market has, however, ne mp
to pretty high figures. Wheat
sold in Baltimore on Tuesday last
at from 81 40 to s 80 per buslel, and corn
at 694 cts per bushel for spot, and 77s cts
for Novembe delivery. The rains, which
have been general, appear to have had the
effect Of weakening the market to slight
extent, but it is probable that breadstutls
viii continue to rue high until the pros
pect for next years crops are pretty def
nitey settled 1t is very unusual for us
to be visited by these severe drouths, none
of even approximate severity to the pre-
sent having occurred since 1854, and ma
ny contend that was not near so severe as
the ate one. In many portions of the
trans Mississippi vally, however, these Sc
we're drou:hs are very frequent, and are Of
Ten of most distressing character.
