There is need of swell in the
creek and river, which are just now
about as low as they ever get,--iD or.
der that the numerous boats and
barges may be drifted to market.
But there would be greater yearniug
still if the market for these craft were
about hundred per cent. livlIer than
at present

The drouth which has been upon
US for the past month or six weeks is
by no means confined to the east, as
reports coming from the western
country state that corn and other
crops are literally burning up by the
great heat and dry weather. The po.
tato crop OF this country may be said
to be practically ruined, and any
amount of rain we may have from
this on could not improve the pros
poets much. Oats, not a good crop
at best this season, have ripened too
soon, and the yield will hardly be
half what it should. Fruit has stop
ped growing and is fast falling from
the trees. And still the prospects for
rain are not promising
Somebody is eternally discover
ing something, and here is a discov'
cry that seems to provide way ouI
of it for those who love fruit and
think they dare not eat ii: Fruit
skins carry germs, and are no more
intended for human susteDauce than
potato skins, melon rinds or pea pods
The bloom of the peach is a luxur
liant growth of microbes, that of The
a grape only less so, and when thes'
0 skins are taken into the stomach they
find more favorable conditions fo
y their lively and rapid development
e which causes the decay of the frui
# before it is possible to digest it. Thi
is the reason that many persons thinl
# they cannot eat raw fruit. If the,
t would 10 all cases discard the skin
y they would derive only good from th
fruit itself
D Those who have had occasion /
e pass over the river bridge during th
f past few days have, or could have
j. been witnesses to very temptin
sight. In the eddy formed by III
ot middle pier was to be seen a schoo
10 of suckers covering space of abou
le 40 feet square, and containing n
l. less than 300 fish, ranging 10 lengt
from Is inches to 2 feet, and weigl
e. ing perhaps from A to s pounds. Tn
J. sight we say was very tempting, {
te the big cusses lazily moved abor
D. within foot of the top of the waite
some of them with their back fins oil
IL of water. A few feet from th
le school, in deeper water, could t
5. seen a dozen or Two of salmon,
I'D number of which were estimated
weigh from 8 to 10 pounds eacI
Up The dreariest part of the whole sho
n'. was that the fish wouldn't bite.
