Mrs. Margaret J. S. Wood. willow of
the late Peter Wood, died on Saturday
evening, the 18th inst, at the home CT her
son-in-law, Mr.. Frederick Skinner, where

Mrs. Wood was the daughter of the late

spent at her home, ~"Brookwood,' near

ly of eight daughters and one son under
the loving and enrolling influence of a
Christian fireside. She endeared herself
to a large circle Of friends by generous
hospitality, by unbounded sympathy for
the suffering and by sweet charity for all.
A life, so true and beautiful as was hers,
is a rich legacy to those she leaves behind
not only to her kindred, but to the world.
Seven married daughters survive, Mrs.
William H. Yoe, Mrs. Frederick Skinner,
Mrs. James Carr, OF Anne Aluhut! county,
Mrs. William S. Chichester, Mrs. Henry
Compton, Mrs. Clement Sheriff aud Mrs.
William H. Duvall; also one single daush-
ter, Miss Johns Wood, and one son, Mr..
Thomas Wood.
The funeral took place at St. Thomas
Church on Monday, Rev. DR.. Murphy, of
St. Panl's and Rev. Mr.. Baker, Of Cum
berland, Md, officiating.

st. Swithin'S Day.

Wednesday was St. Swithin's Day, and
as the old proverb runs
! St. Swithin's Day, gif ye do rain,
Fol forty days it will remain;
ST. Swithin's day and We be fair,
- For forty days twill rain nae mair.
:. Though the saint hasn't always shown
a tendency to help the weather man make
the saying good, there are still hosts Of
persons who believe implicitly in the old
superstition, and the skies were given
! more than their usual share Of attention
by such persons Wednesday.
According to the legend that gives the
day its-nams, Swithin was the Bishop of
Winchester and a most devout man. His
death took place in S32, and, in accordance
With his wishes, he was buried in the
churchyard where the sweet rain of
Heaven could fall on his grave. When
the bishop was canonized an attempt was
made by the clergy to remove his body
from the chnrchyard to the choir Of the
cathedral as a mark of greater h0nor.
July 18th was set for the removal, but
when the day came it raiued in such tor
rents that the plan could not be carried
into effect. 1t continued to rain for 40
days .afterward, by which time the clergy
were fully convinced that the good bishop,
now the sainted Swithin, was satisfied to
have his bones remain where they were,
and there they let them rest.

Condition of the Crops.

The Weather Bureau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
Corn has everywhere made splendid
growth, and is much improved, though
generally backward. and in portions of
the Upper Ohio Valley and Middle At
lantic States is weedy. The early planted
is now in tassel in the more northerly
districts and a considerable part of the
crop has received final cultivation.
The week has been very favorable for
harvesting winter wheat, which work is
very largely completed, except in the
more portherly sections. Threshing has
made good progress, and the reports
generally indicate light yields. A fea-
ture of the reports respecting winter
wheat is the entire absence of injury to
grain in stack and shock.
In Northern Minnesota and North Da-
kota spring wheat is thin and heading
short, and lodging is reported from por-
tions of Southern Minnesota and South
Dakota, while rust is reported from the
last-named state and Iowa. In Kansas,
Wisconsin and the southern part of South
Dakota spring wheat is heading we'll, and
very favorable reports are received from
Washington and Oregon.
Considerable rust in oats is reported
from Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, and
lodging from South Dakota and South
ern Minnesota. In North Dakota and
Northern Minnesota the crop is thin and
heading short, but continues promising in
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Pennsylvania. Harvest is in general
progress in the Central Valleys, good
yield being reported from Missouri, Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma. but light
yields from the states of the Ohio Valley.
The general outlook for tobacco is very
promising, the least favorable reports be-
ing received from Ohio, where, however,
the crop is doing fairly we'll.
