Something rather funny tbouol

Something rather funny, though it
might have been tragical, happened in
Philadelphia on Tuesday. The inventor
of patent life-preserver undertook to give
a personal exhibition of its merits in the
Delaware river. He put it on, and then
boldly jumped into the water, but to the
establishment of the numerous spectators
the bold inventor came up from his dive
feet foremost, and remained so, in a posi-
ton not at all conducive to prolonged
existence. His head went under and
stayed there until he was rescued. During
the excitement two men and boy fell
into the river, and came near being drown
ed, The inventor explained that he had
put the air belt on in the wrong place;
but he did not offer to repeat the expert
ment.

modes of pleasure. There was an entire
absence of cOnVentionalities, and in such

come acquainted. The company, or at

THE most lively branch of industry.
just now in our community is the PhOs-
phate. The Fall campaign this year
really commenced in the early heat of
August and the clerical force of the differ
ent offices have not only been busy in

claimed q considerable amount of atten-

business is brisk and large sales in pros

GETTING WORsE--Persons living on
Main street complain of encOuntering a
great deal OF drunkenness on Saturdays,
but say last Saturday was exceptionally
bad, especially with the negroes. 1t used
to be difficult for this class of our popula-
tion to get whisky, and consequently there
was little drunkenness and offensive con
duct, but now that it is rendered so easy
to obtain may account for the difference.
Employers are experiencing difficulty with
those who have heretofore been trustv
hands. The men drunk on Saturday were
enumerated at the fearful number of 100.

THE DROUGHT-The drought IS q sub
ject of general and serious consideration.
The brown fields and burnt corn are in
their very nature n distressing aspect. 1t
looks like dearth. The few clouds that
pass over head are high and rainless, and
the hot suns are telling with daily force
on the withered crops. The orstfeature
of the drought this year is it's generalness.
There is scarcely year that some State,
section or county is not affected, while in
the remainder the crops may be good
This year 1t extends to nearly, if not the
whole corn growing section, including also
tobacco and cotton and If not soon ended
will also the very important potato crop.
Chief. Dep. Marshal Jos. NJ. huntington,
who came last week from the bordering
line between Arkansas and the Indian
Territory reports no rain there for the past
two months and the crops withered and
bhghted, with evidence of the drought on
the whole line of fifteen hundred miles
from that section TO this place. John W,
Savin from Denver in the far West saws
that the drought extended from that to
this place and was particularly manifestin
the rich corn growing sections of Indiana
and Illinoise. VIM, II, Thompson, who
was last week in Western Maryland and
the Cumberland. Valley, Pa, found the
corn burnt even worse than here. A gen
tleman from Salem, n. j., remarked last
week he had been farming sixty years
and had never had so bad year as this.
There has been less complaint perhaps
from the New England States and possibly
from New York, but this is not corn
producing section for the market. The
lower part Of our Peninsula has less cause
of complaint than most any other section,
but even here the tain fall has not been
what was desired. There can he but one
result, diminished crops, the loss falling
the most heavily on our great cereal, In
dian Corn. The wheat crop Of the nation
is estimated at 25,000,O00 bushels short
but this loss can be born more easily las
harvests ore fortunately reported good in
Europe) than the more serious loss of the
corn crop, from third to half of the
annual yield. A good rain now might
have favorable result ON the very late
planting, but the fate of the great bulk Of
the crop is sealed and the verdict is q
shorter crop than we have had for q mum
Der of years. The effect of this ID already
discounted by the rapid rise in prices 10
the past week, and the farmer who has
grain to sell may realize in price a par,
! tial compensation for his diminished bush.
