House. Barn and Trees Struck II by Lightning

The summer of 1886 is remarkable for cool
weather, heavy storms and destruction by
lightning. On last Friday night heavy
storm passed over this city, beginning about
balf.past ten O. clock and continuing until four
O. clock Saturday morning. There was sue
cession of hard, dashing showers, while the
electric display was brilliant and almost con-
tinuous. The thunder was an incessant roar,
with occasional deafening claps. Many Of
our citizens were awake all night, so terrlhc
was the storm. The fall of rain was very
great, and the pavements on Saturday morn
ing showed tina. they were oyerhown IN many
places The roads and fields were consider
ably washed in the track of the storm, which
passed over this city from southwest to north
west.
About half past one o'clock two lightning
bolts struck house on Webster street, own

near the ground, splitting the timbers and
ripping the Misunderstanding entirely off, tear
ing it into splinters and scattering them about
the yard.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Mailman occupied room on
that side of the house, and the head OF the
bed was against the wall where the bolt struck
Mr.. Mailman was stunned somewhat, but his
wife was unaffected, except by fright. The
wall at the head of the bed was cracked, and
a clock on the mantel was hurled INTO the

On Tuesday evening the festival for the
benefit of st. Johns Church, this city, closed,
after weeks duration. The first night was
so stormy that it could not open; on Tuesday
evening a storm began about 9 o'clock, caus-
ing the crowd to leave, so in fact it was only
in operation six nights. On Saturday night
there were at least 200 people on the grounds
at one time. Terrestrial and celestial globes
were presented to Father Gloyd by Mr.. |. A.
Miller, of this city, to be given to the school

We were visited by q heavy rain on FRIDAY
night of last week, and also on Sunday, doing
a great deal of washing in the roads and in
plowed fields.
On last Saturday quite number of our
citizens concluded to spend day fishing.
After organizing a crowd they at once put
out for David Smelser's dam, near New Wind
sor After spending sometime very success
fully, A. Willet attempted to recroSs the
creek, and stepping into whole and not
possessing the art of swimming, he no doubt
would have drowned had it not been for the
assistance of John Shaeffer, Jr.
Among the guests that have recently ar
rived at DR.. Rinehart's to spend the summer
are Mrs. Chas. w. Heills, son and daughter,
Miss Grace and Master Ralph; Mrs. McCon-

Some of the Westminster bicyclists paid
our village a visit Wednesday evening and
were the centre ofattraction, especially among
the ladies. Come again boys.
On Tuesday evening as we were seated on a
neighbours porch conversing, we were ar
reused by hearing distant sound resembling
a signal of distress. AS it became more dis
tinct we concluded it was the Marine Band,
of Washington, D. c., but upon further in
vestigation, we ascertained it was only George

s7I% Bushels of Wheat Per Acre-Sale of Farm
-Reyiyal of the Tournament-Death OF
Colored Teacher,

The cool weather has benefited the thresh-
ers. and the work will soon be completed.
MANY stacks of grain took water, and much
damp wheat has been shipped. Some report
heavy yields. One field of fallow land on
Springfield" yielded 972 bushels per acre by
weight. On the same place 600 tons of hay
were cut this season, and field OF 100 acres
of oats is now being threshed, which the neigh
borhood comedies yield of 90 bushels per
acre, notwithstanding the crop was much
tossed about by the storms. Mr.. Brown has
sold 200 acres of Springfield, adjoining the
farm of Jacob Tome, to John L. Welbourn,
ESQ.,. merchant of Baltimore, for $4,000.
Mr.. Welbourn will erect fine residence on
it during the coming year.
Capt. John w. Bennett has enlarged and
repainted his house, and is building large
barn. The Selby Bros are doing the work.
It has been determined to revive tue tour
nament in Freedom district, and one will be
shortly advertised to take place in Berrets
celebrated grove, on the 'Gen Marcy farm.
Great preparations are being made for the
event, which promises to eclipse all former
tournaments in display of costumes, as well
as in attendance, as fair ladies are expected
from Baltimore city and from every county In
the state.
The news of President Tilden's death was
received with profound regret by his many
admirers here. The Democratic party has
lost its great leader. The nomination OF
Cleveland for President in "a was well taken,
for by singular coincidence Tilden and Hen,
bricks, who were both prominently mentioned
for the positions, are now in their graves.
Though its leaders are gone and we mourn
their loss, the party still lives, and will live
to rule the nation.
H.H. Hughes, the colored teacher at this
place, died on Wednesday morning. He was
a good and useful man among his people. and
the children under his care made rapid ad-
vancement He was also successful, in q
measure, in improving their moral condition.
The weather is remarkably cool at night
and early morning, and some of the summer
boarders have frostbitten look.

Patapsco Items.

On last Saturday evening the Ladies Mite
Society held festival at the Patapsco NJ. E.
Church, from which they realized nineteen
dollars and seven cents. At the same time
some of our young boys became very bolster
Gus and manifested considerable pugilistic
spirit 1t was discovered, however, that they
had the alcoholic spirit within. Such con-
duct is very reprehensible, and the person or
persons who aided the boys in getting the
whisky should be byought to justice and made
to suffer the extreme penalty of the law for
such conduct.
Some weeks since man from the city of
Baltimore, calling himself John 81. Allen,
Jr, was married by Rev. Mr.. Hughes, pastor
of the Church of God, to Miss Elizabeth Ar
baugh, of this vicinity. The wedding took
place at Mr.. John II. Chew's, and few days
afterward two ladies called at Mr.. Chew's to
ascertain if such wedding did really come off.
One of the ladies produced marriage certi-
icate, showing that she and the newly mar
ried gentleman had been married thirteen
years ago at the Cathedral in Baltimore, and
wife No. stated that she had seven children
by him. We suppose it will remain for the
law constructionists to determine whether
this is case of bigamy or the introduction Of
Mormonism into our neighborhood.

The Ladiesburg Sunday School, numbering
$50 members, held their annual picnic in the
grove near Haugh's Church on the 24th ult.
1t was attended by about 1000 persons from
the surrounding country. The singing by the
school was most excellent and reflects credit
upon its management. The music by the
Mt. Pleasant band was rightly appreciated by
all musical connoiseurs. Revs. D. N. Dittmar,
Of Littlestown, and DsA. Souders, of Union
Bridge, delivered the addresses.
Haugh's Church Sunday School, number
ing nearly rs members, held their festival in
d. G. Warmers grove, near Double Pipe

BASE BALL.
rreaerick Downs the Brooks Team.


The most interesting and closely contested
came here this season was that between the
Frederick club and the Brooks club, of this
city. Owing to the death of relative, Gist,
the regular pitcher on the Brooks nine, could
not play, and Brown and Childs, Baltimore
amateur battery, were secured, and several
of the members of the Reisterstown club also
PLAYED with the home team. The game was
almost perfect on the part of both clubs, ana
the errors were scarcely noticeable. The
game was principally pitchers contest, the
outfields having but little to do. 1t was any
body's game during the entire contest. The
Brooks club had the lead in the third inning,
but lost it in the fourth and failed to catch up;
There were several times when hit would
have enabled them to score, but it was not
forthcoming Brown pitched a good game,
and not hit was made on him until the fourth
inning But eight hits were made OIL him,
and he retired six on strikes. Beatin was
very effective and pitched great game. The
Brooks team scored but four singles and a
double on him, and only four of the nine hit
him safe. Zepp got single, then a double,
then knocked long ball to the left field, and
made circuit of the bases back to the home
plate. The ball started fair, but curved out
across the foul line. But five of the Fred.
ericks hit Brown safe, and it is the opinion OF
many that Gist would have been still more
effective Below is the official score:

The oats crop is large, though many farmers

The hog cholera has spread rapidly since

whole herd but three. A. N. Hess has lost
nearly So.
The G. A. R. Campfire was well attended
last Saturday, considering the inclemency of
the weather during the early part of the day.
A number of speakers were present. Danl.
Reigle, color bearer, in Pennsylvania regi-
ment, carried the flag in the procession that
he carried through the war. He informed us
that it had been through % battles, some Of
them the most severe fights of the war. He
himself was in 81. The old flag was presented
to him few years ago by the Governor of
Pennsylvania personally.
