As the dear old farmers are the most
important factors i'm our rural district,
will say first Of all they are unusually
busy harvesting their wheat, moving
and saving hay, and l think the fol-
lowing terms are in-general use among
them, "laying by corn, and "scraping
down" what oftener proves the un-
profitable tweed
a most enjoyable lawn party was
held last Thursday night at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. a. G.. Allen for the BEN
eft Of repairing Appomattox Presby-
terrain Church. Despite the dreadful
storm quite a crowd assembled, and

storm, thereby adding much pleasure
TO the occasion.

The steamer Itaura. bound for Hamburg,

first vessel to bring by the water route
those who Witnessed the destruction of
San Francisco.
THE Itaura left San Francisco Thursday
afternoon. when the flames seemed to be
at their height said First Mate Chas-
Appen. '.As seen from the bay, 1t was
sublime but terrible spectacle. We were
anchored more than mile out in the
roadstead, but the wind as II swept over
the burning city and down upon us, was
like the breath of demon. Al times 1t
was impossible for us to remain on deck,
SO great was the heat. The terrific con-
cussions of dynamite brought hundreds of
fish to the surface Our clearance papers
were burned, but we could not retain our
anchorage, and late Thursday afternoon
we started toward the open sea.
.Wharves were filed with people. They
beconed to US that they needed assistance.
1t was the thought of self-preservatiop
that kept the Itauri's course unchanged.
At midnight we were thirty miles at sea,
but the flames were still visible, and I'M
til almost dawn we stood on deck and
watched the reflection of the flames as they
played to and fro on the cloud mountains
which hung over the ruined city
