BooTHBY HILL, August 22.-One of the most
terrific thunder storms, accompanied by wind,
rain and hail, passed through this vicinity on
Saturday evening at about 5 80 o'clock. The
wind was terrific. 1t did considerable damage
by unrooting trees, breaking off corn and
blowing houses over. The hail did consider
able damage to the corn and tomatoes, also to
the flowers which were on front porches or in
front yards. In several places the roads were
blocked by trees being blown across them.
The canning houses are now in full opera

You whom love so we'll
How can drink this bitter cup
And say the word farewell?
The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;

In deaths cold arms doth lie,
Go, little pilgrim, to thy home,
On yonder's blissful shore;
We miss you here, but soon will come,
Where thou has gone before.

Rock fish are scarce, and consequently high
in the city markets, and that there should be
strenuous efforts to capture them is not to be
wondered, but the use Of dynamite for this
purpose is an outrage. and parties who resort
to this method Of killing these fish should be
spprehended and the severest penalties Of the
law Impressed.
In "PopIar Point channel, about midway
between this city and Carpenters Point, is a
"spot" or vicinity where these fish are known
to gather in large numbers. On Tuesday
night, dynamite cartridges were used at this
place, and hundreds of fish were killed. just
how many those using the dynamite secured,
of course, is not known, but there being a
bright moon, It is safe to assume that con-
siderable quantities were captured. On the
next morning Capt. W. Y. Hevering. in com:
ing across the bay, picked up a number Of
the fish, half-stunned, floating on the water,
to the weight of eighty pounds. The next
day 10 going back across the bay, be counted
ffty-two dead rock fish floating on the waters,
some of which would have weighed twenty
five pounds each.
This wholesale destruction Of fish should
be stopped, and we trust that Col. Avirett,
the State Game and Fish Warden, will give
this matter his special and vigorous attention.

Grsutor Must Anix the stamps.

Judge n. Charles Burke, Of Baltimore
county, has advised the Auditor Of the Circuit
Court that the grantor must pay for the
revenue stamp on deed conveying property
He holds that the grantor of deed agrees to
deliver a valid deed to the granter, and that
in order that a deed be valid, it must have the
revenue stamp attached, and therefore the
party selling the property is required to
furnish them. The matter came up in the
case of the trustees of Waugh Chapel against

A Now IndnsIrr.

From Farmers Review: Favorable
conditions for the growth of what is
known as the Holland bulbs have been
discovered in the western part of the
state of Washington, in San Juan
county. This county is unique in that
it consists almost entirely of islands,
some 200 in number, surrounded by
water which never reaches q lower
temperature than 43 degrees Fahren-
heit in winter, nor higher than 81 de-
grees in summer. This equable tenn
perature, together with the copious
rains of that region, make it possible
to achieve results in the raising of
bulbs which long-continued expert
ments in other parts of the United
States have not been able to produce.
Mr.. George Gibbs of Orcus island,
after carefully studying the soil, eli
mate and temperature of San Juan
county for several years, in the fall
of 1892 planted a quantity of bulbs
which he allowed to remain in their
beds until the summer of 1924, when
he found an enormous increase in all
varieties. Not only was there phe-
nomenal increase in numbers, but the
bulbs had also attained an unusual
size, some tulip bulbs measuring seven
and one-half inches in circumference.
The blooms obtained from these bulbs
are exceptionally fine and we'll de-
veloped, and are ready for the market
two weeks earlier than those raised on
the mainland.
About 400 tulip and hyacinth bulbs
are now planted in Lincoln park, Chi
cago, which have been sent there by
Mr.. Gibbs from Washington, and their
development Is being watched with
much interest by those In charge.

Preserving Fence Posts.

The lime treatment is as good as
any, and the cheapest. The only eff
feet of an antiseptic for preserving
timber is to remove the acids of the
wood, and to fill the cells with an in
destructible mineral deposit, thus pre-
venting decay, says H. s. in Rural
New Yorker. After much practice
with the various timber preservatives
for use in such special cases, as In
mines, and for bridges, / have not

in. The last blask fellow had gone.
The caverns were as still as death, eX-
cept for the trickling water on the
rocky walls. Rob cruched in his
to him almost an entire day.
His limbs ached. His face was sore
from Torrevos blows. His hands had
swollen from the excessive labor he
had performed. The WEAKNESS at last
overcame him. First he fought against
the drowsiness, then welcomed it, for
it brought with it forgetfulness of his
troubles. He found some bales of
cloth, took them into his hiding place,
and lay down upon them. Soon he was
fast asleep.
How long the boy slept he did not
know. But he awoke at last with a
start. and wondered how long he had
been there. He left his nook and went
toward the entrance to the caverns.
Then he made a discovery that made
his heart almost stand still.
The entrance had been closed with
a great stone.
He was locked in.
