The time within which dairy herds
must be registered, in conformity with a
law passed by the last Legislature, has ex-
PRED. The time really expired on June
|, but the State Live Stock Sanitary Board,
under whose supervision the registration
has been conducted, extended the time by
ten days. The dairymen, as rule, have
awaited themselves OF the increaS ed time,
although the board is advised that several
hundred herds have not yet been regis

In Kent county the wheat crop of this
year can scarcely be said to be up to the
average and is considerably below that of
last year. In some sections of the county
considerable injury has been done by scah.
A farmer from the first district estimates
his loss at 30 per cent. Then, too, the
crop in the lower part of the county will lie
cut as result of the recent hailstorm
Bartus Trew, prominent Quaker Neck
farmer, has tifty-acre field which he will
not put his reapers in so badly was the
crop damaged. Others were as badly dam
aged in the same neighborhood and near
Rock Hall, The June drop has mater
tally lessened kent's peach crop. The
falling of fruit has been very heavy, and
while in few favored orchards fair cror
remains, estimating on reports from the
entire county it is possibly less than a
sixth. The Keller pear crop, the grea,
money pear OF this section, is very heavy,
while the Duchess aud some other varie.
ties are short The yield from the pear
orchards, however, may be put at a fan
average. The apple crop is short.

PASTOR RESIGNS.
Rev. J. D. Sharks Resigned the Pastor
ale Of Head of ChriStiana Church.


Rev. J. b. Sharks Resigned the Pastor
ale Of Head of ChriStiana Church.
The Presbytery of New Castle at special
meeting in Central Presbyterian Church at
Wilmington Tuesday afternoon, last week,
accepted the resignation of the Rev. J. D.
Shanks, d. D., as pastor Of the Head of
Christiana Church, to take effect the last
Sunday i'll August
The trouble which led to DR.. Shanks'
resignation is long and detailed, and we
can only give a brief account of it. DR..
Shan&s went there about four years ago,
AID as the books of the church had not
been audited for twenty years the new
pastor and quite number of the congre-
CATION became dissatisfied with the secre-
tary's scant report which was given about
once a year and then only very short.
congregational meeting was called and
Jas l.. Stewart was nominated and elected
treasurer by a large majority. But Mr..
John Steele would not give up the books.
This led to wrangle. A petition was
sent to the Presbytery asking that a COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
affairs of the Church. The committee
named was Rev. John McElmoyle, of Elk
ton; Rev. S. Beattie Wylie, of New Castle;
Rev. J. D. Shaw, Of Port Deposit, and
Elders Duycsnck and VIM. NJ. Candy.
When the PTesbytery met i'll Dover last
spring the committee reported that the
books of the Head of Christiana Church
was in bad shape and that Mr.. Steele owed
the church about 81 600.
No charges were brought, and this report
was not altogether satisfactory to the
pastor, who, thereupon, offered his resigna-
ton.
When the Presbytery moved to some
action in relation to the pastoral relations
there was good deal of discussion in one
way and another, and it was at times diff
cult to understand just what particular
motion was before the body. Finally, the
following resolution was adopted:
That the Presbytery has heard with
sorrow the request of the Rev. J. ID.
Shanks, D. D., to have the pastoral rela.
tons between the Head of Christiana
Church and himself dissolved;
That we yield to the request for the dis
solution, to take effect the last Sunday in
August.

CECIL DOG TAX.
The County Commissioners Will Rigidly
Enforce the Payment Of 81 For
Each Dog.

The collection of the dog tax in this
county will now be pursued with vigor by
the County Commissioners. Several years
ago there was considerable sum received
from such a tax, several thousand dollars
being collected annually. OF late, how
ever, the amount paia mo the county
treasury for dogs has been dwindling
down, until this year bnt few hundred
dollars was collected. There are several
thousand dogs in the county upon which
no tax is collected, and the commissioners
have decided that the local ass assors shall
assess all dogs and make a return to the
commissioners, 50 that when the taxes are
paid this coming year those being assessed
with dog will be compelled to pay the
tax of ST. This fund is used to defray
public school expenses, and also to pay
for sheep killed by dogs.

The Harvest Begun Great Damage BY
the Fly-Many Fields Almost DESTROYED.

The wheat harvest in the lower districts
of Cecil county commenced on Monday. In
the other parts OF the county the harvest
will commence not later than Monday of
next week. The crop this year will not be
up to the average, and some of the farmers
will not get half yield. The outlook
several months ago was for the largest crop
for many years, but the extreme wet
weather and the fly have damaged the crop
to an alarming extent In some parts the
fly has completely ruined whole fields. The
wheat is cut by the fly at the stalk close to
the ground
