Killed by Lightning.-During the prevalence

Killed by Lightning During the prevalence
of the thunder storm Sunday afternoon last' tho
dwelling house of Mr.. Frank Bennett, situated
about two miles from Reisterstown and about hail
mile from the Westminster pike, in the Atm dis,
trict of this county, was struck by lightning anu
Notwithstanding there fire, except the de-
struction of two chairs, the damage amounted W
n considerable sum. The course of the fiuId was
remarkable. After SCATTERING large locust tree,
standing in front of the house, the fluid passed
along the ground for twenty feet, entering the
dwelling, tearing off the Notwithstanding anu
plastering, also cupboard door. 1t then struck
colored boy named Charles Little, aged about 10
years, who lying in the dwelling on two chairs
The fluid then passed through the kitchen to the
pump, tearing up the platform, then to the milk
trough, breaking all the crooks, and then into the
ground.
The colored boy was seriously injured
His knee cap was torn completely off, all his
clothing was stripped from his body, and in fact
he was perfectly nude After regaining conscious
ness he discovered that the chairs he had been
lying on were burning, and as Mr.. Bennett ana
his family had left home to spend the evening" no
one was near to render assistance. With almost
supernatural strength he crawled to the pump,
procured abucket of water and extinguished the
fire. thus saving the house and furniture from GER
tain destruction. The boy then crawled to pool
of water close by, and by this means supposed
that he could obtain relief from the pain. by
some means he then crawed up stairs ana got In
bed, where he was found when Mr.. Bennett re-
turned home. 1t was at once discovered that II
would be necessary to amputate his leg, ana on
Monday last Mr.. Bennett had the brave boy con-
veyed to the Maryland University Hospital, Bal
timore, but he died before the operation could be
performed, and on Tuesday last he was buried at
Reisterstown.
Mr.. Bennett notified Mr.. II. L. Bowen, of this
place, agent for the Agricultural Insurance Com
pany, of WATERFOWL, N. Y, of the loss he had sus-
tanned by the lightning, and on Tuesday last Mr..
Bowen visited the place, adjusted the loss to the
full and entire satisfaction of Mr. Bennett for the
damage done by lightning, which reflects credit
upon the company for the prompt and equitable
settlement

Garden for July.-The Maryland Farm

Garden for July.-The Maryland Farmer
suggests the following for work in the garden this
month:
The first showery season that occurs should
be taken advantage of to plant out cabbage,
Broccoli, Caulifower and endive.
Early Turnips and Long Blood Beet should be
sown now for fall and winter use.
COMPLIANT o few rows for late roasting ears ;
this may be done in the spaces vacant in the early
potato patch. 1t is good plan to plant some
corn as the potatoes are dug, as it keeps up a
regular succession of this valued vegetable for
the table,
Egg Plants, Tomatoes and Peppers may also be
set out early for late autumn use.
Herbs-Such as have formed the blossom, may
now be gathered and dried and put in paper bags
for future use. Those grown from the seed sown
this year can be set out foot apart, and II well
attended to will be ready to gather in September.
Budding.-Pears, Plans and Cherries may now
be budded.

Marital Happiness.-The Cecil county
Ne,os says it would add vastly to the stock of
marital happiness in this country if the banns of
every marriage had to be published once a week
for one month before the ceremony in some news
paper in the county where the lady resides. The
same result might be obtained by publishing the
banns in the church where the lady attends for
several consecutive Sundays, as is done among
Catholics. The law should make either the one
or the other obligatory, and leave it optional with
the persons intending to marry. If this be done,
the marriage license and consequent fee might
be abolished.

Es-In Salt Lake City on the Fourth of July
the Mormons undertook to celebrate the day by
having the national colOrs suspended at half mast
on the public buildings and private residences
This was done in order to show their disrespeet
for our national emblem. A committee of citizens
called upon the Mayor and Sheriff and demanded
that this indgnity be stopped, and it was accord
ingly done.

Rules for Measuring Hay in Bulk, &C.

Rules for Measuring Hay in Bulk, &C.
A correspondent writes to the N. Y. Sun for a
rule for measuring hay in the NOW or stack, and
that paper says: "No arbitrary rule can be given
that will apply in every case. Ordinarily with
good upland hay in small mows, and not too
heavily pressed, 512 cubic feet are calculated for
a ton, but if the NOW is large and the hay closely
pressed, 400 cubic feet will make a ton. This is
upon the superstition that the hay comes from an
old NOW. Therefore to find the number of tons
in barn NOV, multiply the length, breadth, and
depth in feet together, and divide by such number
between 400 and 512 is believed to be necessary
to meet the condition of the NOW. In the case of
stacks the case becomes little more complicated
in the matter of calculations. To find the cubic
feet in regular conical stack, first find the area
of the base, by multiplying the square of the cir
conference in feet (Which is easily measured) by
the decimal O795S and the product thus obtained
by third of the height in feet and then divide
as before. If the stack is square or oblong upon
its base, and is very nearly regular like the roof
to house, multiply the length and breadth in
feet by one-half the height in feet, and divide as
before. If the stack is in the form of a frustum
pyramid, the accurate calculation becomes more
complicated, and as approximate rule would
answer all purposes we will only give the latter ::
Find the area of the top and bottom each by
multiplying the length by the breadth, and then
multiply one-half the sum of these two areas by
the height, and divide as before directed. These
will probably be sufficient for all ordinary cases.
We are of the opinion that in practice 512 is
more frequently used for divisor than any other
number"

A Model Farm and Farmer.-The farm of
DR. Williams, near Thomas's Run, (says the Har-
ford Democrat,) contains about 120 acres of arabic
and highly enriched land, rich, in fact, that last
year the yield of wheat was fifty three bushels to
the acre. While some cereals are raised it is used
chiefly as a stock and dairy farm. The stabling
of young cattle, with loft room above for storing
hay for the stock. The COWS are chiefly pure and
high-grade Jerseys, and with the farm are under
the care of Mr.. Thomas Maggie.
Over a large and free flowing spring is the dairy
house, a model structure, from which is weekly
sent about hundred pounds of gilt-edged butter.
From the spring the water enters large slate
trough, in which is submerged the Cooley cans
filled with milk and cream. Adjoining is the
room in which there is churn of hundred
pounds capacity, butter worker and table
covered with thick glass, and a thermometer and
ventators to regulate the temperature. The
building is well lighted, painted and plastered
and the floors cemented and so arranged as to be
flooded from the spring and completely drained.
Everything within, without and about the build
ing is fresh, bright and clean if it had never
been used. Near by is building with open win
dows for summing and airing the cans. At con-
venient distance is the hog house, partitioned for
brood sows and shoats, containing well-propor-
toned hogs of the MCGEE breed, that in numbers
are about equal to the COWS, from whose milk alone
they fed
By this convenient arrangement and under the
most excellent management of Mr.. Nagle, moth
ing is wasted and the best dairy products and
the best results are obtained.

The Schoolma'am.-

Vacations come; she leaves behind
Responsibility and care,
And to the mountain hastes to find
Repose and Misunderstanding air.
With sturdy step she climbs the peaks
To view the scenes that round her lie,
Healths roses growing in her cheeks,
And pleasure sparkling in her eye.
The cataract's thunder in the glen
She hears and, listening to the noise,
She fancies she's at home again,
In school, among the little boys.
