MU1cH1Na OUNCE BUSHES.

The only advantages resulting from
the use of little salt around ounce
bushes are that it tends to keep down
the growth of weeds and keeps the
soil moist. Even then it must be spar
ingly used. A good, heavy mulch of
coarse stable manure or other litter Is
of the greatest utility, especially in a
hot climate. Dig up the soil about
the bushes in the spring as thorough
ly as you can without disturbing the
roots, and then give each bush heavy
mulch. American Agriculturist.

MANY LIVES LOST.
Chinese Flower Boats Burned on the

A terrible fire occurred on the Canton
River, China. A flower boat caught fire,
and the flames spread rapidly until hundreds
of these crafts were destroyed and at least
one thousand natives persisted in the flames.
The flower boats were moored stern to
stern in rows, and large numbers of natives
lived upon them. The spread of the confia-
grafton from one boat to another was SO
rapid that the unfortunate Chinese had no
time to cut them from their moorings, q
strong wind materially heipingto spread the
fierce fire.

Mai. Gen. John G. Parle.

By invitation of COL VIM. A. McKellip,
Major General John G. Parke, Of Washing
ton, d. c., has promised to attend the Memo
rial Services at Westminster, May Both, which
promises to be very interesting.
Whilst Gen. Parke is in Westminster he is
expected to be the guest of his relative, Geo.
NJ. Parke, Register of Wills. Gen. P. is the
son of the late Francis G. Parke, of Chester
county, Pa, and grandson of the late John
G. Parke, founder of Parkesburg, Chester
county, Pa. He received a military educa.
ton at West Point, and at the breaking out
of late civil war held the rank of Colonel in
the q. S. Army. During the whole war he
held high position and saw much active SER
vice. AT the battle of Antietam, or Sharps
burg, Nd, he was attached to Burnsde's
Corps, and personally led the charge across
the Stone Bridge over Antietam below Sharps-
burg. At the battle of Fredericksburg, Va,
he acted as Gen. Burnside Aid. His Army
Corps was also sent for time to Chatta
nooga, Tenn. He led one of the columns eff
fectively also at Roanoke Island, North Caro-
lima. Before the close of the war he was ap,
pointed Major General and put in command
Of one of the Army Corps around Richmond
and Petersburg, Va. AT one time whilst
President Lincoln was on a visit to the Army
at Petersburg, the Confederates, to show him
a touch of actual war, made most des-
perate sortie, at the point where Gen. Parke' s
Corps was stationed. The assault after much
hard fighting was repulsed, and Gen. P. right
from the CRIME and smoke of battle rode up
and reported to Mr.. Lincoln their success,
much to his qualification. Since the war he
held the post of Superintendent of the U. s.
Academy at West Point for few years, but
resigned the same few years ago, and hay
ing since reached the required age is now re-
tired from the Army.

Previous to May 9Th We hattered ourselves
that despite the hard times never did our
truck patches, or grain fields, bear a more
promising aspect of future profit in any one
spring so early but, alas on that day We
were visited by one of the most disastrous
rain and hail storms ever known in this To-
cality. The rain came down in torrents,
which flooded the land, and where it was
plowed, completely hackeled it on all hill
sides, and took away, apparently, more than
half the surface soil. Many who had planted
their corn on hillsides, will have to do the
work over Dat fields on hillsides are ruined
for the present crop. The hail fell in torrents,
too, and in few instances the hail was as
large as goose eggs, but hundreds of hail the
size of hen eggs fell here. The prevailing
size was from a bird egg and down. The
hail broke many window panes in this sec
ton, and cut the onions and early peas down
to the ground. The grain fields were badly
damaged, too, especially rye. The destruc-
ton to fences along the valleys and lowlands
was general, and it would be impossible for
your correspondent to name correctly any

A Mr.. johnson, who keeps saloon near
Mt. Airy, and who also deals in horses, was
drowned during the storm in Frederick coun
ty yesterday. He had been spending the day
with his brother, near Rhiels Mill, and start
ed to drive home in buggy in the evening.
When near Long Branch, a stream crossing
the National pike at Mt. Carmel Church,
about fivemiles from Frederick, he was caught
in the current and swept away, team and all.
In ordinary weather the small stream is
carried under the road at this point by cul-
vert, but the water yesterday was ten feet
above the bed of the road, and probably in
ignorance of this, johnson drove in to his
death. Two men who were some distance
beyond johnson saw him go down, and waded
in after him up to their necks, but were I'M
able to reach him.

sons body was recovered. The team was
