TURACCO,

There 10 little to say in regard to the
weed. All the rev is in tho sheds--some
farmers having just finished whilst Others
have been done for two months It seems
a good deal of difference in time, but of
Z" sich - is the lot Of the tobacco grower.
There is still some growing over dam
age in the sheds and part of the last week
was auythig but favorable to the late
hangings.
From the meeting of the directors of the
Lancaster county hail insurance company
we zee thoir losses were some 412, 600
from this some idea Of the serious damage
be bad. As this was the first year for
that company, their risks were compare
,iveiy light. The York company had
very much greater number Of risks IN this
co,inty, and the Southern Mutual had
quite goodly share. Strange as it may
appear the percentage Of those insured at
all in this county is not large. Why it is
we do not know, but there is considerable
prejudice against hail insurance, and in
some parts of tho county no insurance was
held and the farmers lose all.
There was considerable old tobacco sold
during the last week in small lots, One
county packer sold 200 cases of 80, and if
packers would break their packings much
more would have beon sold.
About five years ago B. G. Herr bought
from H. B. Swarr, esq, the old g Barclay
Farm" in COlerain township. Mr.. III.
has been farming and living on it since,
and has been one of the most extensive
growers of tobacco in that section. This
last week he sold tho property to Mr..
Kaufman. of Manor, the price paid We
have not heard it being private. but Mr..
Herr assures US ho made $1,000 by sale.
Tho farm contains about 14O acres.
