This place is enlivened at this time with
about sixteen Baltimoreans, who have come
out to Mr.. R. C. Bakers for the summer.
Miss Josephine Shaw, of Baltimore, is WIS.,
iting at Mr.. E. B. Arnold's, at this place.
The order of the day is threshing. Mr.. E.
B. Arnold was the first to thresh his crop in
the neighborhood, the yield averaging 30
bushels on u acres. Mr.. John +. Frick was
the next to thresh. His yield was upwards of
SO bushels per acre. Mr.. Henry Wardenfelt
threshed acres of his, and received 35
bushels per acre. d. II. Maynard's phos-
plate was used on these fields. All of Mr..
Z. B. Arnold's ground was cornstalk, and the
crops are considered the best ever raised in
this section.
Mr.. E. B. Arnold's sale, which came off
last Saturday, was well attended, and was n
success for him. Three horses in round num-
bers brought $780, Dick brought 5000,
bought by John Schweigart; Cover, S205,
bought by B. +. McGlone; Charley S195, and
was bought by VIM. Westaway. Everything

Politics are becoming more the general dis
cussion every day. The Democrats are very
enthusiastic over the nomination of Cleveland
and Hendricks, and the Republicans have
not word to say for or against their candi-
dates. think the way things look now that
the old Fourth will roll up larger majority
than ever for Cleveland and Hendricks.

Last Friday evening we were again visited
with a flood, which was not as widespread,
but in localities more terrific than either of
the two former At Alesia it took the county
bridge with one of the abutments entirely
away The bridge anchored in Hoffacker' s
meadow. AT the station the storm blew two
of Hoffman house cars out on the main track.
The railroad was slightly damaged. At other
places the flood took shocks of wheat down
the current.
The wheat harvest is all gathered and some
threshed. The crop was troublesome to gath
err. heavy in straw, heads well filled and grain
fully matured. We think the crop fully as
good as it was lastyear. The prospect is good
for good crop of oats, potatoes and corn,
also for full crop of fruit.
Although some of us suffered from floods,
still we are blessed with health, plenty, peace
and prosperity, and last but not least with
two good, honorable, honest and able men as
candidates for President and Vice President,
namely, Cleveland and Hendricks.
Politics are becoming lively around Line
boro', and it seems that our people will take
more than usual interest in the campaign.
Thursday night of last week some of our cti-
Zens remained at Lineboro' until after mid
night to hear the result of the first ballot in the
Chicago convention go over the wires. No
matter what our personal preferences may
have been, we fully endorse the action OF the
convention at Chicago last week, and will
ratify the same on the 4th of November next.
Lineboro was visited last Saturday evening
by the North Pleasant Valley Cornet Band,
which discoursed some of their liveliest music
and brought together number of ladies and
gentlemen. The ice cream trade was good.

Last Friday we were visited, for the third
time this season, with a very heavy rain, which
caused the various streams in onr section to
rise and overflow their banks Morgan Run
rose nearly as high as it was during the first
Hood, but soon went down again, therefore not
dong much damage to fences and crops above
the Washington road. At Mr. Sebastian
Bowers the water took away part of his fem
ces at the meadow, and overhowed his wheat
field, which was flooded by the first food of
the season, and washed away part of his wheat
standing in shock, and several dozen sheaves
which hadn't been shocked
MIR. Chas. z. Easton undertook TO cross the
fording of Morgan's Run on horse back whila
the water was still high. Just as he got fairly
into the stream, the current rushed with such
force as to take the horse with it. The
horse not being able to swim across the tide,
was carried down the stream about 80 wards
from the fording, at which place he managed
to get his head turned for the opposite shore,
and swan out, bringing his rider safe with
out hurt, but very badly scared.
Later, during the same evening, Mr.. Geo.
A. Shipley returning home from Westminster,
came to the run at the Washington road with
his team, consisting of three horses and two
mules. He, like Mr.. Easton, thought the
water could be easily crossed, so in he drove
While crossing his leader kept the course very
well and gained foot hold on the opposite
shore just in time to save Mr.. Shipley' mules,
which were in the middle lead, they taking
down the stream as soon as the current struck
them. Mr.. Shipley was riding the saddle
horse at the time, and says the mules were
both under the water nearly at the same time,
and had his leader been baffled in crossing,
he, as well as his team, would certainly have
been carried down the current, and probably
drowned.

An all day service of the Bethany Sabbath
School took place last Sunday, and was largely
attended, especially in the afternoon, when it
is estimated 800 persons were present The
interior ofthe church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. The programme for the day
was Of an interesting character. Rev. Mr..
Strother, minister in charge, delivered an APP
propriate address. He spoke of the origin
and growth of Methodism and also of this
being the locality in which the first Methodist
church was erected. Besides the speaking
the children took an active part, which was
very entertaining. Excellent music was

the organ. The following is the programme,
all of which was admirably rendered, eliciting
much praise from the audience Singing by

Miss Hannah Dougherty, a young lady aged
II years. met with painful accident on the
18th inst, at her home near Berret. She was
in the stable and had a small pistol in her
pocket, whichit is supposed she struck against
the side of the building, discharging it. The
ball entered her side near the hip and passed
upward in her body, burying itself in the
muscles of the breast. Drs. Steele, Moore
head and Sprecher attended her, but failed
to find the ball. 1t is thought she will re-
cover.
The delightful weather of the week aids the
threshers, and the work is being pushed with
great vigor. Sykesville is blocked with
wagons unloading grain, and reminds one of
the busy scenes of Pratt street wharf. The
returns that reach us we will publish next
week. The highest yield was AZ bushels; the
party ialled 10 give the numDer OF acres.
There were two Geiser threshers in Frank
Browns field on Wednesday, running 1000
bushels of grain each every sixteen hours.
With his own teams and the teams of his
tenants there were forty horses in the field.
Some were hauling the wheat to the threshers
while the others took it from the machine to
the cars at Sykesyille, where three cars were
being loaded at one time. We counted forty
four men in the field Mr. Brown reports his
highest yield Al bushels per acre and lowest
80, averaging about 81 bushels to the acre.
Many strange and pretty faces can now be
seen in Sykesville. Fine turnouts are con-
stantly passing to and fro The ladies dress
as their fancy leads them, in every conceivable
style. Hammocks are swung on the trees and
porch posts, and the ladies sit there and give
the country boys taffy. A popular merchant
of the town, who is fast growing portly, is a
prominent figure in evening croquet parties.
The cool weather has increased the appetite
of the summer boarder. Several, it is said,
have managed to consume two fried chickens
apiece day. IfSykesville grows in popular
favor as summer resort, we will have to APP
ply for law for the better protection of
poultry.
