LETTER FROM BUSH RIVER NECK.
Canning Crops Short-Roads, &c,


Our canneries have made commencement but
are not running half time in consequence of corn
being slow to ripen. The crop is not more than
two-thirds of an average. Should the drought
last much longer it will affect the later planted
corn so much that 1t will not yield half a crop.
The tomato packers also complain of the dry
weather killing the vines, and that the crop will
come far below their expectations.
Our roads are in excellent condition. We call
the attention of the road supervisor to the neck
breaking and wheel bursting obstruction in the
road opposite Mile Square gate. If the trunk
were properly placed it would make travelling
more comfortable.
Kill Grief bridge has been well repaired by Mr..
James w. Malcolm, and traction engines can now
cross 1t with safety.
Romney Stock Farm is In a prosperous condi-
ton. The proprietors spare no pains to make 1t
a success. They have the best kept stable have
ever seen, fine lot of trotting stock and an ex-
ceent race course. The stable Is uLder the care
of Mr.. Frederick Either, of Saratoga, N. Y. He
understands his business and is thoroughly COM
petent to take charge of such an enterprise.
Crabs and fish are very scarce.

Road supervisors throughout the county
complain that many farmers, in cleaning out
their fence rows, permit the brush to fall into
the water courses and remain there, stopping
the flow of water and forcing it out on the
roads. A little care and attention in this
matter would help our roads materially. Iii
against the law to stop up water courses, but
supervisors dislike calling their neighbors to
account, and some of them remove the OBJ
structions at their own expense Or at the ex-

DEAD BODY FoUHD.-On Monday colored
boy discovered the dead body of man floating
in the water, near the shore of the bay, off the
old Whitaker farm, Gunpowder Neck. He
went out in u boat and towing the body ashore
made it fast and notified Justice Geo. NJ. Hardy,
who held an inquest. The body was that of a
man about feet 10 inches in height, of dark
complexion, and probably IS years of age. The
man had on black pants and vest and white
shirt, but no other clothing. In the vest pocket
were found a pair of spectacles and pawn
ticket, issued to "Jones," No. 9,96S, from 4.
Silberheim's loan Office, No. 1913 N. 9th St.,
Philadelphia, dated July nth, 1886, specifying
that 50. so had been received for coat and pants.

Moulsdae, II. Seigman, j. 7. Ford N. Meter,
w. 8. Stevens, NJ. French, G. p. Harvey, T. J.
Tydings, w. A. Mackinson, j. w. Hoffecker,
and B. Frasch. No marks of violence were
found on the body and the jury rendered ver-
dict that the.man had been drowned in Ches-
apeake Bay. The remains were much decom-
posed, the crabs having eaten nearly the entire
face. They were therefore buried on the shore.
