The British Preparing to Crush the
Rebels.

More serious fighting is looked for
ward to In the near future between the
British troops and the insurgcnt Mani
puris. Prohting by the delay of the
British troops in advancing TO the front,
the Manipuris are erecting stone block
ades, digging rifle pits and ID other ways
preparing TO give the British warm
reception:
The Thirteenth Bengal infantry, from
Barrack Pore, the First and Second
Ghourkas, the Eighth Bengal Mountain
battery, the Thirty Bengal infantry
tSikhs) and other troops from Burmah
are on the way to tho 'front.' The troops
from Burmah arc under command OF
General Graham, and include the Second
battalion of the Fourth Ghourkas, two
guns from No. . Mountain battery Of the
Royal artillery and regiment OF Madras
infantry.
General Graham was last reported as
advancing via Tamua. General Colet was
also reported as advancing from Niger
itinga over Brahmaputra with No s Ben
gal mounted battery, tho Second Ghoorlas
and other troops, which have been dis
patched to Kohima.
The sending to tho front OF such force
of British troops, of which the corps mon
toned arc only u part Of the army I'D
vancing, shows how serious the situation
is, and that tho British authorities
recognize the fact that a crushing blow
must be struck against the Manipuris In

Violent Storms.

A wind storm of terrific violence swept
over Superior, Wisconsin, on Thursday, car
rying death and destruction in its path. The
wind was accompanied by pouring rain. The
air was heavily charged with electricity. The
storm lasted only about thirty minutes, but
during that period many thousands of dollars
of damage was done, besides killing five per-
sons and the visiting of terrible injuries upon
many others. A hotel was being built at the
intersection of two streets, in which 30 or 40
workmen were employed, the majority of
whom, it is thought, were seriously or fatally
injured.
At West Chester, Pa, on Wednesday, there
was Il most terrific thunder storm. While
the rain fell in torrents, the thunder clapped
awfully and the lightning was of the most
binding character. Two Italians working
on the Electric Railway were struck and
instantly killed. They had taken refuge
from the rain under a large buttonwood tree
when the bolt struck it. James Dolan was
riding horse about twenty feet from the
tree at the time it was struck. The horse
was knocked down, and, together with Dolan,
was stunned for some time, though not seri-
ously injured. AT the same time the large
barn on John krele's farm, n short distance
from the place, was struck by lightning and
was entirely destroyed by the fire which
ensued. The barn was valued at Sc, 900, and
nothing was saved from it except two horses.
Two men were in the barn and were stunned.
They were saved from being burned by friends
carrying them out.
During heavy thunder storm at North
st. Jay, Maine, on Wednesday, a building
owned by Il. +. Bryant was struck by light
ming and burned. 1t was valued at $4,000.
Mr.. Bryant, who was in the building at the
time, was burned to death. At Beans Cor
ner two buildings were also destroyed.

Grain harvest is about over and farmers in
this vicinity have all got their grain safely
housed, with some few exceptions. These
contemplate threshing their grain out of the
field.
Edmondson & Pool are out with their
thresher and are very busy threshing.
Mr.. A. N Zentz is having his house paint
ed, which makes decided improvement in
the premises; A. f. Gambler, painter.
Mr.. r. w. Barnes has his house up and is
ready for the timers to put on the roof. The
building is three stories, with mansard roof.
The rains of last week and week before
threw farmers back in getting in their grain.
Many are now cutting their timothy, and by
the end of the week it will all be housed safely,
no rain to prevent. Timothy is a good crop
in this section.
Mr.. B. +. Poole, one of our threshermen,
told your correspondent few days ago that
the grain threshes much easier this year than
il has for several years past. The husk or
chaff does not seem as heavy as in former
years, and the grain is much better. Nearly
every head has six rows of grains, whereas
for several years there were but four rows

NJ. P. Sunday school will hold their annual
picnic Several prominent speakers will de-

July 18th, Mount Pleasant Sunday school will
hold their annual picnic, and several speakers
are expected.
Fruit of all kinds will be in abundance this
fall.
Fears are now entertained that the wet
weather and hot sun will cause the potatoes to
rot, especially the early crop, which in som e
instances, are almost fit to dig.

In all kindness We do wish our supervisor
would come down this way with his shovel
and throw n little dirt on the stones in front
of Mr.. Doran's house, and also fill up neat
little gutter below the school house, made by
the recent heavy rains. He need not bring
his pick this time, but it would be well to
have a few charges of dynamite to blow few
stumps out of the road. The bad condition
of the road has caused several accidents, and
should any more occur the County Commits
sioners will be held responsible.
Whoopingcough has not abated yet and
several more cases are reported this week.

that at times their lives have been in danger.

Roddy on the Rampage.

From the Philadelphia Item, July To-
There was a scene of the widest excitement
last night in the crowded merry go round
pavilion of Young K McShea, on the Ocean
Boulevard at Atlantic City, N. j. A black
snake whip, an erratic professor and a sketch
artist were the principal actors.
g. III. Walters. alias the "Whistling Pro
fessor," has been a familiar character on the
board walk for the past two seasons, and by
his peculiar antics and original sayings
afforded a great deal of amusement TO the
hundreds of guests at the carousel pavilion.
He was regarded as harmless, good natured
crank, and made his living by selling hooking
bird whistles Of his own make and invention
and giving aquatic exhibitions on a life raft
similar to that used by Capt. Paul Boynton.
For the past few days sketch artist named
Harry Ermine has been making caricatures OF
the Professor, for which he found ready
sale. The professor declared war, and
published a lengthy card in a local paper to
the effect that he would horsewhip his trldu
Ger if he did not stop prosecuting him. His
threat was regarded as joke, and the fun
went on.
Last night Ermine was sitting at his stand,
industriously sketching extravagant pictures
of Walters. There were fully 500 people in
and about the pavilion when the Professor
made his advent. He had blood in his eye
and a big horsewhip in his hand.
Gliding up behind Ermiue the Professor
raised the whip, and, utterng a vile epthet,
brought it down on Ermine' head with fright
ful force. Again and again he applied the
singing lash, while the artists cries of pain
struck terror to the hearts Of spectators, most
of whom were women and children.
Finally a special officer rushed in to the
rescue. After desperate struggle with the
tod Dr. ha lodi in l.

Threshing has begun, the wheat being of
an excellent quality, and few farmers have
less than l, 900 bushels Mr.. Newton Devries
had IL acres that yielded 80 bushels to the
acre; the rest was not such large yield.
Mr.. Marshall Selby shipped his to Baltimore
last week and received $l.03 per bushel.
Foxes, minks, opossums and weasles have

many of our neighbors. Mrs Golibart lost
nearly so young chickens and guineas; Mrs.

Children's day at Wesley Chapel, Freedom,
passed off as usual with great credit to both
children and teachers. The church was hand
somely decorated. The children, neatly
dressed, made their speeches with care and
grace.
The "Dance in the Barn. was well attended
on the evening of the 10th. The barn was
tastefully decorated and lighted; the grain
rooms were fitted up with every convenience
for dressing rooms; the floor was planed and
waxed. and the dancing was delightful. The
dance was given by Misses Ella, Lilly and
Bessie Duff, all of whom were most cordial
in receiving their guests, Miss Birch, of Bal
timore, assisting them. Mr.. and Mrs. Duff
looked on with pleased approval. About
thirty couples were present.
Summer bOarders are out from town IN full
blast, seeking fresh air and fruit, fun and
flirtations.
The Democratic primary meeting was very
SHINY attended. 1t is much more essential
to attend the primaries than any other pro.
ceeding, as voters can then object or approve
of the respective candidates; but generally
they wait till the ticket is made up then begin
10 growl or split tickets when voting time
comes This shows IL weakness that many of
our voters are guilty off.
