A WELCOME RAIN.-Thanks giving was of
fered in many of the churches, last Sunday,
for the gracious rain which fell the day before.
The shower continued for about two hours
and thoroughly saturated the ground. The
value of this timely relief can not be estimated
and its beneficial effects were almost imme-
diately seen in the freshening of the pastures
and arenewal of growth in the corn and tomato
crops. Its believed that the period of drought
is now broken and that the remainder of the
season will be favorable. The rain extended
over all of Hartford county, but in the region
north of Pylesville it was so light as scarcely
to Law the dust.

A. Newell, who for long term of years was
principal of the State Normal School, died
early Monday morning, August 14th, at his
home, in Havre de Grace, where he had lived

from an affection of the liver and heart, which
had confined him to his loom for six weeks.

the private school of his father, at Trinity
College, at the age of twenty-one years. Az

Two years later he was appointed Secretary of
the State Board of Education. He almost at
once took high rank among the prominent
educators of the United States aud through
him the public school system of the State was
largely perfected.
The Professor was a man of genial nature,
extensive culture and possessed a rare
talent for organization and administra-
ton. Both at home and abroad he was re-
garded and held in the highest esteem and
affection A widow and four sons survive
him. The funeral took place on Wednesday,
the interment being at Greenmount Cemetary,
Baltimore.

so ably argued on the opening day by
Attorneys Hepburn, of Spokane, and
Arthur Brown, of Salt Lake City,
The attendance upon the court is
limited principally to those haying
business and for that reason, the
crowds usually seen in Blackfoot on
court occasions are noticeably absent
at this term. All business has been
conducted with becoming care and
consideration, and, at the same time,
with a dispatch most commendable.
The term win be short, and it will not
