out the Estate, it is not surprising
that farmers everywhere are re-
ported in good spirits and hopeful,
indeed everything points to a
prosperous and a happy year for
the "Bread-mahers" The Report
is cheering, and indicates progress
on all sides. Loose and indolent
methods of farming are on the de-
cline, and are being replaced by
live modes. Fertilizers and i'm
proved tools the better cultivation
of the soil, and more careful plant
ing are beginning to tell, in larger
yields, and more abundant crops,
the old system of working out lands
till they become utterly useless is
fast dying out. and now, the farmer
keeps two things steadily before
him, the increase of his yield, and
the increase of power to produce
large yields.

The weather during the month Of
July was in many respects most un-
usual, and distinguished by an ex-
traordinary degree of electrical dis
turbance, and the amount of rain
fall. The storms as a rule, were
general in their character, and
some, especially that of the 5th,
that passed over this district, were
destructive to timber and the grow
ing crops. The following summary
of the weather report for July will
be interesting to all.
Mean temperature, 76 degrees;
highest temperature, 80 deg; low
est temperature, 46; range of tenn
perature, So; greatest daily range
of temperature, 36; least daily

THOUGHTS ON MAN.-Man, born
OF woman, is of few days and no
teeth. And indeed, it would be
money in his pocket sometimes if he
had less of either. AS for his days,
ne wasteth one-third of them; and
for his teeth, he has commissions
when he cuts them, and as the last
one comes through, 10! the dentist is
twisting the first one out, and the
last end of that mans jaw is worse
than the first, being full of porcelain
and a roof-plate built to hold black
berry seeds.
Stone-bruises line his pathway to
manhood; his father boxes his cars
at home, the big boys cuff him in the
playground, and the teacher whips
him in the school-room. He riseth
early and sitteth up late, that he
may fill his barn and storehouses,
and 10! his children's lawyers divide
the spoils among themselves and say,
"Ha, ha" He growleth and is sore
distressed because it raineth; and
he beateth upon his breast and say
eth, "My crop is lost" because it
raineth not. The late rains blight
his wheat, and the frost biteth his
peaches. If it be so that the sun
shineth, even among the nineties, lie
sayeth, "Woe is me for l perish;
and if the north wind sigheth down
in forty-two below he crieth, ,"Would
| were dead!" If he wear sack
cloth and blue jeans, men say, "He
is a tramp;" and if he goeth forth
shaven and clad in purple and fine
linen, all the people cry, "shoot the
dude!,'
He carrieth insurance for twenty
five years, until he has paid thrice
over for all his goods, and then lie
letteth his policy lapse one day, and
that same night fire destroyeth his
store. He buildeth him house in
Jersey, and his frst-born is de-
voured by mosquitoes; he pitcheth
his tent in New York, and tramps
devour his substance. He moveth
to Kansas, and cyclone carrieth
his house away over into Missouri;
a prairie fire and ten million acres
of grasshoppers fight for his cror.
He settleth himself in Kentucky,
and is shot the next day by: a gen
tleman, a colonel, and a statesman,
"because, sab, he resembles, sab, a
man, sab. he did not like, sah."
Verify, there is no rest for the sole
of his foot, and if he had to do it
over again he would not be born at
all.-Robt. Burdette.

A meeting of the subscribers to
the above Company was held in
Commissary Hall on Monday Aug.
4th for the purpose of organizing
and electing officers.
After several gentlemen had been
elected to preside, and had declined,
the chair was taken under protest,
by Mr.. G. H. Blackjack; Mr.. Onder-
donk was elected secretary.
Mr.. A. Marland introduced for
the guidance of the meeting a
rough draft of bye-laws, he had
hurriedly drawn up. These were
read and then discussed seriatim
and after consideration and amend
ment were adopted as a whole.
In compliance with the bye-laws
the meeting then proceeded to bal
lot for a Board of Managers. The
ballot resulted in the election Of
Messrs, r. Walton, G. II. Wilson
and DR.. G. P. Kemp, These officers
to serve for one year.
At the request of the meeting
the managers then retired to elect
a Treasurer, the lot fell upon DR..
Kemp and at the close of the meet
ing that gentleman was kept busy
for some time taking in the first
instalments on the shares.
Mr.. Lumley's motion requesting
the Board of Aid to take the re-
naming shares in the company
drew from Mr.. Marland the ex-
preston of opinion that the greatest
benefit would be derived from a
wider distribution of them among
small holders. The following re-
solution was however carried "That
copy of the proceedings of this
meeting together with a list of the
subscribers be sent to the Board of
Aid through their agent.
A motion to make the proceed
ings public was next carried. Af-
ter votes of thanks to Mr.. Marland
and the Chairman and Secretary
the meeting adjourned sine die.

"he'month Of July on the whole
was not very favorable to the crops,
the destructive and wide spread
storm of the 5th did very consider
able damage. A short drouth in
the middle of the month checked
the growth, but the warm weather
and frequent rains of the last ten
days produces a rapid improvement
and the present outlook is most
Encouraging, and if the favorable
weather in August continues there
will be an abundant corn crop, the
reports over the entire State show
fthe wheat crop has in many instan-
ces surpassed the estimate. 1t is
reported as the finest both as to
quantity and quality, that has been
grown in the State for many years:
Decidedly exceeding the crop of
1882 which was prehaps the heaviest
abundant yield in the history of
the State on the condition of the
tobacco crop, most countries report
favorable. There is every prospect
for an abundant crop Of excellent
quality: the average yield is decided
ly larger than that Of the last year.
The Irish potato crop is reported
very fine, the earlier yield have
been most satisfactory. The sweet
potato crop is generally good, in
Morgan County exceptionally fine.
The oat crop has materially i'm
proved during the last month and
tie yield will be found considerably
in excess of last year in some parts
of the State, this crop is fast giving
way to barley, which has proved a
more certain crop.
Stock peas are coming to the
front very rapidly as a restorer to
the surface soil Of many of the ele-
ments of frtility that continuous
cropping exhausts. The prospects
for the young and growing crops
are Aattering.
Many countries report the apples
as dropping off badly. The past
ures are fine and stock of all kinds
in good condition. We are glad to
see the attention of the farmers
in the 5th Civil District is being
turned to the cultivation of grass;
we hear on all sides of preparation
that is being made this fall to SOW
down large acreages in grass, this
is real progress first grass, then
stock, then money, then improved
dwellings then plenty of furniture

McWhirter concludes as follows:

cremation, if he will note the rapid

himself convinced against his will
that some other method of disposing
of the bodies of the dead will in the
near future be an absolute necessity,
Take, for example, Calvary cemetery
in New York. Thirty-six years ago
the first grave was made and the
cemetery walls enclosed only ten
acres of ground. Now it has been
increased to between 800 and 40O
acres, and the interments already
reach about 100000 which number
is increasing at the rate of fifty a
day. And this is only one of New
York's many burial places.
