garia involving a rupture with Austria
The army that received a staggering blow
atSadOwa has been completely reorganized; /;
its military system has been closely model
led after the German; and its rank and file
are now armed with the wonderful maga-
zine rife. An invasion of Bulgaria, with
the Austrian army watching on the Servian
frontier for a favorable moment for inter-
ventiOn, cannot be looked upon in St.
Petersburg as a holiday parade. On the
other hand. the Austrian staff know that
there is no soldier in Europe like the Rus
sian infantryman or troop; that in long
campaign it is the man and not the weapon
that finally wins; and that the Gar with
his vast reserves of population to draw up
on can fling away one brigade after another
with cynical indifference. Germany can
not but view such a campaign with dismay.
Indeed, what nation in Europe docs not
stand in dread of the general war which is
confidently expected in every capital? In
this very fear Of hostilities lies the hope of
European peace"

Bountiful Crons.

This years crops have been har-
vested. The yellow wheat and drab
oats were garnered and threshed some
time ago, and the rich grain is now
stored in barns or is being ground for
use at mills. The second crop of hay
has been cut, dried in the sun and
is placed away for Winters use, when
live stock can no longer gain pasturage
in the fields. The corn crop, covering
many thousands of acres of sunny hills
and rich valleys, has just been harvest
ed, and the stacks stand in the chilly
fields in long rows to give the frost
time to harden the grain. Orchard
fruits are mostly picked, and Winter
vegetables, like potatoes, turnips and
beets, will soon be put in bins, where
the frost king cannot bite them.
This years harvests have been bOun-
tiful. No blight of insects has worked
widespread destruction. Rich stores
of wheat, rye, corn and other grains
have rewarded the farmers labors in
all the counties of our Peninsula. and
garden vegetables have been so pIenti-
full that the prices for many varieties
are lower than for years. Barns and
stOrehouses are filled with the products
of mother earth, and agriculturists can
well feel satisfied with the results OF
their seasons toll.

A PerilOus Ride.

Richard S. Marin while riding home
on Monday evening with his wife and
child had narrow risk to life and limb
for the three. When between Clayton
and Casperson's Mill the bridle bit
which was what is called a chain bit.
parted and fell from the horses mouth.
Without this support, in pulling the
reins the bridle was pulled over the
animals head which, together with see
ing the carriage in the rear put it in a
dreadful fright, and off it broke into a
run. Fortunately in going over the
bridges and causeways it kept to the
middle of the track and ran distance of
two miles until headed off at the resi-
dence of Jas. B. Moore by lot of men
who were working on the road. Sew
eral times during the perilous ride the
occupants expected the carriage to be
dashed to pieces, and but for the fortu-
nate circumstances that these road
workers ran the animal into the fence
and checked its course, it is no telling
what might have been the result.
About year ago Mrs. Marin by her
horse taking fright at a bicycle and
throwing her from the carriage. was
nearly killed, and is very naturally
getting nervous at the thought of a car
riage ride, her only means of getting
from home, Mr.. Marin SAYS that in

horses during the past year, be has been

THE baptism of fire which laid Salisbury
in ashes on Sunday night, an account of
which is given elsewhere, stands without a
parallel Of any fire heretofore recorded on
this Peninsula The whole heart of the
town, the business centre of a large district,
is completely wiped out, leaving only a
few grocery stores on the outskirts of the
town. Salisbury was a town Of great COM
mercial thrift and surpassed perhaps all
other towns on the Peninsula in its large
