Condition of Crops.

The Maryland and Delaware section of the
Climate and Crop Service reports for the
week ending July A. The weather has been
all that could be desired for hay cutting and
for the completion of the wheat harvest.
The wheat harvest is over in all great eX-
cept the western counties, and it has begun
there in nearly all localities. although there
are few limited districts where the crop is
not yet quite ripe. The general condition of
the crop is much better than was thought
possible month ago. In many sections the
yield is expected to be an average one,
although for the entire section it will doubt
less be short. The grain is generally re-
ported plump and bright
A few early peaches have been sent to mar.
ket; the yield will be extremely light. APP
Piles promise a large crop, and the earlier
varieties are beginning to ripen. Cherries
have about finished their yield in most dis
tricts. Pears are holding on well, but the
yield will be light. Blackberries are being
shipped. A few strawberries are left in the
western counties, but the season is practically
over.

FAVORABLE REPORT.
Cecil County Institutions Visited by
Officers of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Society.

The officials of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Society who visited the Elkton Jail and
Cecil County Almshouse and Insane Asylum
last week made this favorable report:
The Jail at Elkton. Cecil county. contained
fourteen prisoners-six white male, one
white female, six colored male and one col
ored female The Jail is in good
sanitary condition, and Is well kept by
the Sheriff. J. Ross Conoly, and his deputy,
who is the warden. Religious services are
held for the prisoners regularly every month
1t would be an important step in the right
direction if the bathing facilities were in
creased. There is room for it, and the eX-
pense would be very small i'll comparison
with the great need which it would supply.
The almshouse and insane asylum at Cherry
Hill are beautiful for situation. They stand
on opposite sides Of the thCrou-hfare. on Il
commanding hill overlooking tho country
for many miles around. They are we'll
adapted in their construction to the care Of
the unfortunate poor and insane. Dr. p b.
Housekeeper. the physician to the institution,
was present and accompanied us through
the buildings, giving Us the history of many
of tn" remarkable cases that are now under
his care both as aged invalds aud insane
patients, thus making our visitations douby
interesting and profitable. The doctor is
perfectly familiar with the pecu!iaritrs Of
each, and at his command hymns were sung,
stories told, foot races and somersauits, Icy
insane patients above 50 years Of age, were
gleefully accomplished.
