The drought has awakened good
deal of solicituds on the part of
farmers for their crops.
The Evangelical aid Society will
hold their annual festival in the rear
of the church, in Patterson, on June
18th, 10Th and Goth.
By Order of Committee.
When the frost was on, it was the
peach growers that were fearful of
loss. Now that the drought is on, it
us the farmers of grain that are the
saferers.
Some days ago, Drs. D. II. Craw-
ford & Darwin III. Crawford, success
fully performed an operation for hair
lip in Patterson, on the months
old babe of AR and Mrs. Henry De-
Fluff. The patient was little girl
The operation was somewhat un-
pleasant to perform for the reason
that in the euttins.and the bringing
together of the parts quite an amount
of blood escaped and ran into the
mouth and down the threat, render
ing the use of Ether inadmissabls
for fear of strangulation. The hair
lip pins and all tho dressings have
been removed and the parts have
united neatly and perfectly. The
opera ton has been entirely success
full. An unusual feature in connec-
ton with the case is that this is the
second case Of the kind which has
occurred in the family within the
past six years. The former case, q
boy was operated upon at about the
same age of this babe, over five years
ago and also resulted favorsbly.

o'clock the same day they returned
| paid for the same and remarked to
Ar Miller that it wss one Of the bost
rigs they ever had. They then again
engaged the team for Friday and
ask.d to have ii delivered about !
of a mile from town, saying that
they were taking observations for
the establishment Of telegraph line
running from the Susquehsnna to
the west, and that they wanted the
team for several days. They alse
informed Miller that they might be
back Friday night, but it they were
not they would notify him Of thai
whereabouts when he could send laf
ter ths team. Friday night came
but the team or tidings of it's where
abouts did not, snd on Saturday Mr.
Miller commenced telegraphing IL
every direction but L.wistown fol
information. Early Saturday morn
ing Andrew Spangogle, just at th'
edge OF the town WAS r-thor surpris
cd in having two persons drive VI
to his house asking to have the horse
fed. Gir S. said ne would feed tn
horses, but asked why they did no
go on to town and stop at hotel
They replied thst they didn't care t,
atop at hotel, but that he (Spano
