IN the gusts of wind and rain that
visited the middle states two or three
times the past week including that of
Sunday night, we have no damage to
record by hail and nothing serious by
wind, in this section of the Peninsula.
Other places did not escape so well.
In the lower part of this county and in
several places in Maryland and Penn
sylvania there were very heavy falls of
hail The frequent rains however
hinder the late planting of crops, and
retard work of all kinds, though it
does not hinder the wheat and grass
growing.
OUR sidewalks have some very bad
places for walking Over-at certain
points broken and lose, at others very
uneven from high and low bricks, that
hold together but are very trying for
cid and weak pedestrians. Then,
again, there are badly laid pavements
that in time of rain form basins for
puddles of water to wade through. We
understand the new street committee
are going to correct all this, and no
fOOliRg. The present condition of
things has gone on long enough, and
after proper notification, if not reme-
died by the owners, it will be done for
them.

The petition to which John HeinOld
obtained number of names in the
winter and early spring for the estab-
lishment of post Office at Walkers
School house, is soon to bear fruit, the
order having been given to open a
daily mail there the first of June.
David w. Stats will be the postmas-
ter. His son Harry, who has aeen
employed in Chester has returned
home for the purpose of erecting an
addition TO his fathers residence fol
the purpose of opening q small store.
Thus, Walkers School House will be
known for something more besides a
district school and its large Sunday
school in the summer and vigorous
literary society in the winter, but this
move may be the beginning of more
i important distinctions for the neigh
| bO rhOOd.

SOME inyentiye genius has made
corn planting a simple thing. Where
formerly it required the ground first tC
be signed out, and then man with
plow and pair of horses, boy to drop
and two men to cover with hoes, il
now only requires a pair Of horses
machine and one man, to sign out
cross, drop, cover and roll the corn,
aud do nearly double the acres in q
day. and that too, riding in a comfort
able seat. Quite a number Of farmerI
have purchased these machines thii
spring from our agricultural stores
| Thus is the drudgery of farming being
! removed. Now let them bring out the
corn thinning machine, and the farm
er's boy will be happy.
