BURNING UP.
Bad Effect of the Hot Weather Upon
the Growing Crops--AnOther Week
Like Last VIII Do Serious Injury
and Make Prices Go Up

The hot weather~of the past few days
has had damaging effect upon the grow
ing crops. From every place in this 10
cality farmers complain that the hot sun
is burning many of the farm products,
and that a great amount of damage has
already been done. If the weather con-
tinues for another week as warm as the
past six days, it will work much injury
to the growing crops, and incidentally
raise the prices of farm products in the
local markets. The weather all summer
has been very favorable until last week.
Rain is badly needed in the country, and
is needed for the river interests as well.
The river is now down to a very low
stage. Navigation by the larger packets
has been suspended for some time, and if
the warm, dry weather continues, it will
not be long until the local packets will
also be compelled TO go to bank. The
weather was again very warm yester
day, and there is no prospect for imme-
date relief in the weather indications
sent out from Washington

ALL A JOKE.
An Innocent Baby Caused . Great Deal OF
Conformation.

Conformation.
An amusing incident occurred at the
corner of Market and Twelfth streets last
evening, and an innocent baby Of about
six months was the object which caused
considerable excitement and consterna-
ton. Early in the evening young lady
living on Main street came down Market
street carrying the child in her arms A
well known young man met hen at
Twelfth stHeet, and stopped to speak to
her.
Do you want a baby?" she said.
YES" he replied, believing it to be a
joke.
The young lady placed the infant in the
young mans arms and walked rapidly
down the street. The street was filled
with pedestrians, and he was in a most
unhappy predicament. He looked after
in despair, and then turned to walk into
Goetze's pharmacy. He tried to place the
child in Mrs. Goetze's arms, but was too
embarrassed to explain how it came into
his possession. A crowd had gathered on
the sidewalk The child was left in the
pharmacy, and Mr.. Goethe placed it in a
chair while he went out after the young
man.
When the young man saw Mr.. Goethe
coming, he started to walk rapidly away,
and the excitement increased. While the
crowd was specializing as to the cause of
it all, the young lady came back up street,
took the infant in her arms, and then it
was explained that it was all a joke.

horted all the members of the congre-
