A corps OF engineers is engaged IN survey
ing on the line of the proposed extension of
the Washington, Ohio and Western Railroad.
They are at work in Smokers Gap, on its
western side, working in the direction of
Berryville, Va. An effort is to be made to
have the road pass through Winchester by the
city's subscription of $50, 900, originally voted
to the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire
Railroad, and then made available to the
Washington and Western Railroad, trans
ferred to the new organization.
Watermelon shipments from Savannah,
Ga, closed last week. The shipments of
melons from that port for the season to Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York and Boston,
aggregated 797, 101, of which Baltimore re-
ceived 81, 100. The freight on these melons
average SIX cents each, and yielded the steam
ship lines S47, 826.06. The melons sold at
an average price of twenty-five cents and
yielded the sum of S199, 275.25, which amount
approximately expresses the money value of
the melons shipped by steamer from the port
of Savannah since the beginning of the season.
A fatal disease has appeared among the
horses in Lambton county, Ont. The symp-
toms are thus described: "The animals Attic
ted grow dull and stupid, and severe spasms
of purging quickly follow, affecting the ner-
vous system. The horses, in good condition
when attacked, are reduced almost to skeleton
and bone and the hair falls out of the name
and tail within twenty-four hours from the
time the disease first makes its appearance
known. Several instances of death within
seventytwo hours are reported, and almost
all the animals badly afflicted with the mys-
terious malady have died.
Mrs. A. B. Allison, wife of Senator ALI

CORN AND DRoUTH.

The practical method of modifying the evil
effects of dry weather on the corn crop is to
keep cultivating the soil. No matter how dry
the soil may be the frequent stirring Of it will
mitigate the bad effects of drouth. Not only
do the dry particles of surface earth absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, but by opening
the soil we enable the moisture that is below
TO ascend by capillary attraction. If the Guilt
yator cannot reach near enough to the plants
use the hoe for breaking up the surface crust.
In dry times the salvation of the corn crop de-
ponds upon the cultivator and the hoe.

Animals should always be able to reach
water whenever they are thirsty. When they
are only allowed to drink at intervals conyen-
lent TO the farmer, they will be likely TO drink
more than is good for them. or if they arc
driven away from the water they may suffer
from their wants not being satisfied. There
are probably few farmers who could not, and at
slight expense, arrange for the cattle helping
themselves to water when they wanted it.
Such a method is economy in double sense

of the owner of them

At Z o'clock p. IN. the entire command left
Hazelhurst, the Sixth Illinois cavalry in ad-
vance. Taking northwest course, we proceeded
towards Gaiiton. It now became necessary 20
use every precaution. We had passed within
twenty-five miles of the capital of the State,
and had cut the railroad and telegraph COM
munications on the New Orleans and Great
Northern Railroad. The enemys scouts were
watching our movements, courlerS were living
in every direction, and forces were concentrating
and trying to intercept us, hem us in, and an
initiate us, as they had boasted they would do.
They certainly had every advantage on their
.side-a perfect knowledge of the country,
every road, public or private, every stream OF
water, small or large, and the fordable places
and bridges. There were forces above and be-
low us on the railroad and in our front 1T Port

1t was then the duty of the scouts to obtain all
desired information and keep communications

flank movements which had so often thrown
the enemy off our track. It was about o'clock
when we entered the small town of Gaiiton,
