Jones, the chairman of the National Demo cratic Party. Did he accomplish it: Was not that as marvellous 8 piece of politics as to defeat Der. ry? You see Jeff Davis finish right now. But others have seer his finish ever since he was 8 babe drunk with innocence and yet Jeff lives. They turn him out of the church. but he can still find shelter.

follows:

noted IN the preceding bulletin IN
creased IN severity and area during
the past week, and are now quite
general over the State. Growing
crops are, therefore, suffering, and in
some instances giving way. Gar
dens especially have been cousidera-
bly injured, and pastures are burning
and becoming brown and bare.
Where local showers have fallen.
however, vegetation is green, vigor-
Gus, and promising. Haying has
proceeded in the Valley section and
is now about finished. The crop in
this section, as elsewhere to the
State, is light, though 1t was secured
in fine order.
Winter " Wheat.-Threshing o: this
crop has continued. All c,rrespon
dents report the grain to be of excel
lent quality. The yield, however.
is light.
Spring oats harvest in the Valley
division was about finished. and ns
a rule the crop is reported to be a
little better than average, both i'm
quantity and quality. The yield of
of straw, however, is not large.
Corn, though holding its own very
we'll, has suffered considerably from
the dry weather, and in some lOcali
ties is firing. The blades are curling
and burning. Where showers have
occurred, however. the crop Is in
promising condition. Early fields
have fine growth and are tasseline
and earring nicely. In portions OF
the Valley section the weather has
been little too cool and corn did
not advance much.
Potatoes Irish. digging is about
finished in the Middle division coun
ties, and is under way in the VALLEY
section. Dry weather has reduced
the yield some.

Rear Admiral j. A. Howell of the
United States navy, popularity known
as the father of the modern torpedo"
because of his invention of that engine
Of war. is credited by the Toronto Sat-
urday Night with knowing why he mar
ried, piece Of knowledge which some
unmarried persons seem to regard as
uncommon.
1t was generally believed that he was
welded to the science of warfare, and
1t was surprise to the entire navy
when a married a charming woman.
A number Of years after his marriage
a fellow officer visited Admiral Howell,
and saw the children of the distinguish
ed sailor playing about the house.
ITS like a dream, old man, said
the visitor. I'VE never thought of your
getting married. How did you happen
to think about it?''
"Oh," replied Admiral Howell, glanc-
ing affectionately at his children at
play. II got tired Of being referred to
merely as the father Of the modern
torpedo"
