The extreme drouth has very much retarded
the progress of the farmer in his preparations
for seeding. Some, we learn, have already
commenced sowing, whilst many have not
finished breaking sod. The acreage, as near
as can be ascertained, will be about the same
as last year, providing the drouth does not
continue too long; otherwise will probably be
less.
Cider making and butter boiling are now in
full blast, and corn cutting will be next in

ment was held on the old historic ground at
Freedom, on Wednesday last, the Sth inst.

fore in its history was there witnessed SO vast
an assemblage, fully 1,500 people being

the Stories of the Round Table and the Field
of Cloth of Gold, but we will venture to say

brave men and beautiful women as were
present ana took part in this great tourna-
ment. The grounds are the finest in the
country for these sports; the track is in fine
oak forest, whose shade tempered the hot
rays of a September sun. An arch gally
trimmed with the National Colors marked the
entrance to the grounds. Baltimore, Howard
and Carroll counties and Baltimore City con-
tributed their quota of beautiful women. Mr..
J. NJ. Dorsey had charge of the committee on
grounds, and made every one comfortable.
