. England and Blaine.
From the Brooklyn Times. June'ta


The Times has never had the least doubt
as to the reasons why the o-Englisii
press OF New York is so bitter in its epp0-
sition to Blaine and so resoInte in its de-
| termination to defeat him. These news
papers dare not avow their true purpose
and motives. They pretend that they re-
gard Blaine as corrupt man. although
they know that Democratic Investigat-
ing Committee virtually exonorated him,
and that the purest and best men in the
country have been and are his associates
and friends.
The true reason why the New Y ork Her
aid, the New Y ork Times and the rest Of
the pro English press hate and fear Blaine
IS clearly set forth. by The London Pal
MaH Gazette. The Gagette. speaks to
English readers, and an # speaks frankly. 1t
1--WE own sfn nearly half of the Northern
4 Continent 1--WE do an immense trade with
FSouth America; our treaty obligations i'll
Central America are considerable, and the
intervening seas are Sprinkled with Brit
ish possessions. on Mr.. Blainess theory
OF the universe 'an this is wrong. The
Old World has no. hnsineas in the New.
OF course. he does not. propose to, drive lis
ont at the point Of the bayonet. Tfe IS
not a ltillatio, but Il very able and shrewd
Yankee. But wherever he eau he will
diist us from the position we hold when
ever aniopportnnity offers he will use it to
the ilttermost to replace our influence and
our trade by the influence and trade OF
the United States, and he will regard it as
His chief object to promote Il great Amer
fcan cdnfederaey under the segis of the
| Government at Washington. which
would tend to increase the export tradeso OF
|the United States at the expense of that
of Great Britain. =

Items.-Our farmers generally were cut

and shocking up as fast asst was cut down.
Heavy rains fell In the surrounding coun-
try washing the corn lands badly, and
damage from lightning has been frequent.
We regret to learn that the Rev. Mr..
Railey, of Messy Creek, whilst driving his
buggy near Mt. Crawford last week, was
rendered insensible and his horse knocked
down by lightning striking close to the
road When he revived his horse had
started and being unable to use the yeins,
he spoke to the horse and he stopped. He
was driven to Rev. Mr.. Lynch's at the
Methodist parsonage, and medical aid pro-
cured. He soon recovered SO far as to be
able to get to Bridgewater, where he had
to stop sometime on account of nervous
prostration. He finally reached home
where he is still confined to his home and
unable to attend to his clerical duties,
The old conductor on DIR. J. N. Treyy's
barn was also struck and torn down by the
fluid. and the rods on Frank Ervine 8
house received heavy charge, which they
conveyed to the ground without material
