Sad Death of Jacob Brown.

Jacob Brown, a young man formerly
residing in Garrett county, Md. was ac-
cidentally shot in West Va. last Christ
mas, and died from the effects of the
wound last week. The affair was a
very sad one and came about as fol-
lows: Mr.. Brown was walking along the
street on the day aforesaid, on his way
home, and passed two men who were
engaged in a quarrel. One of the dis
putants drew a revolver and shot at
his antagonist, but missed his mark
and shot Mr.. Brown through the body.
The wound caused paralysis from the
shoulder down and the unfortunate
victim was taken to Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, for treatment.
Here everything possible was done for
him, but to no avail. He grew weaker
right along, and after weeks of suffer
ing, died. He bore his suffering with
much patience, but longed for death
to relieve him, saying he was prepared
to die, and requested his friends to bury
him by the side of his father, near the
old home in Garrett county, Md. His
wishes were complied with, and last
Sunday he was laid to rest. The fu-
neral service were conducted by Rev.
W. Gaunt, of this place, who preached
touching sermon to the large circle
of friends and acquaintance, who
gathered at Mt. Zion church, at the
National Pike, to take farewell look
at the remains.
Deceased was a brother of Mrs. Geo.
W. Robinson of this place. A wife
and one child, an aged mother, sew
eral sisters and a brother mourn
their loss.-Salisbury Star.

We would like very much to see a
law passed by the Maryland Legisla-

well there, why not in Garrett county
too? We are years behind the age in
this fence question.

ont New Hampshire and Vermont and
parts Of Maine the showers have inn
proved crops and pastures, replenished
streams and resulted in much benefit
TO agriculture. The rainfall has been
excessive in southern sections, inJuring
potatoes by rust and blight. The hay
ing and grain harvest has been retarded,
and considerable hay was lost or dam
aged. High winds have dropped fruit
badly. Warm. dry weather is now
needed for potatoes and for the COM
pletion OF haying in the southern states.
Grain, with few exceptions, is In sat-
isfactory condition. Oats and barley
are in process OF harvesting in parts OK
all the states; the quality and yield are
up to the average. Corn promises good
crop; 1t is mentioned that 1t is a week
to 10 days late in many sections; In others
local storms with high winds damaged
the crop. AS whole the crop is good
and practically assured.
There are orchards In parts OF all
states with good crops OF apples, but the
majority are poor. In not few in
stances there is no fruit at all. Pears
are fairly plentiful The reports from
Connecticut are favorable to grapes.
Berries are good and fairly plentiful.
The general opinion favors an average
crop Of cranberries. though the season
is hardly sufficiently advanced to ex-
press a positive opinion.
Garden vegetables OF fine quality are
plentiful without exception. Early po-
tatoes suffered more or less from dry
weather. This portion Of the crop Is
probably less tAan the average, though
the tubers are generally large and OF
excellent quality. The late crop is with
very few exceptions in good condition.
