From Hayre de Grace.

HAvRE DE GRACE, Sept. 24.-One of
the most severe thunder storms of the
summer visited our city and vicinity this
afternoon. Rain had been falling steadily
all day and about O'Clock in the after
noon it came down in torrents, accom-
panied by thunder and lightning. and
violent wind. Besides the inconvenience
of flooded cellars, however, there seems
to have been no damage done.
The noise and Earring from the blasting
of rocks on Garrett island would be very
alarming to the people in the upper part
of town if they did not know the cause.
The shock from many blasts can be
plainly felt all over town. Contractors
for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
bridge piers are using very heavy charges
of dynamite in getting out the rock in
order to push the building OF their new
bridge over the Susquehanna as rapidly
as possible. The high hill on the island
is already lowered about one-third with
the probability of its entire reduction.
The stone is being used for the making of
concrete for the piers.
The twentv-four foot launch recently
completed by the Susquehanna Marine
Works competed on Saturday with
another launch built by Baltimore firm
for the same engine company. The Balti-
more boat sustained its record OF twenty
four miles an hour, but the boat built
here beat it by six miles, making thirty
miles an hour.
Word has been received of the death of
Miss Rebecca Gibson, a former resident
of this city whose sister, Miss Mary Glib
son, taught in the public school here for
number of years.
Mrs Rose Mitchell and daughter Edith
have removed to Baltimore where they
will make their home in the future.
Mrs. 7. Wilbur Edmonson and daugh
ter Viola, after spending the summer in
Havre de Grace, have returned to their
home in Baltimore.
Mr.. Herman Osmond who suffered a
serious fracture of the ankle last spring,
| from which he has since been lame and
unable to attend to business, has gone to
Philadelphia hospital for treatment.
Little Miss Hilda Everist celebrated
her ninth birthday by party on Satur-
day afternoon. The little folks first en-
| jcyed ride around to WIN in Mr. Everist' S
large open delivery wagon behind a pair
of fine horses to the music of jingling
bells, and at the close of the party were
conveyed to their homes in the same gay
vehicle.

NATIONAL DRAlNAGEVS. NATIONAL IRRIGA
TON

Dr. William N. Hill, "the mosquito
man." paid US an interesting visit few
days since and discussed fully and in
diligently the drainage of swamp land
and the mosquito plague, which, as cause
and effect, are so closely allied. Assum-
ing it as an acknowledged fact that
mosquitoes are bred in stagnant water
and that they are fertile source for the
spread of malaria and other contagious
diseases, he sees in the draining of swamp
lands not only a check to the spread of
disease and the removal of most dis
agreeable pest but large increase in the
amount and value of tillable land. Our
low land when wet is worthless, but
when properly drained is the most
valuable land we have.
gentleman in Carolina a short time
since stated to us that on his land he
could raise hundred bushels of oats per
acre but it was necessary to furnish two
men with every plow team,-one to keep
the mosquitoes off of the mules and one
to do the blowing.

The general proposition is laid dowf
that this problem in the East is exactly
kindred to that of irrigation in the west
and, because of our denser population
and larger market for agricultural
products, is of vastly more economic
Importance. II is the proposition OF the
National Drainage Association, whose
next meeting will be held at st Paul,
Minnesota, in October, to push the
passage of a National Drainage act
heretofore introduced into Congress, but
before the same can be made effective,
enabling acts will have to be passed by
the various states affected, giving the
United States government the power of
"eminent domain and the right to tax
citizens whose lands are improved by
general drainage system entered into and
provided by the United States govern
mcnt The area Of swamp lands to be
effected is about fifty million acres, whick
after having been drained would be
worth FIVE billion dollars, having an
annual crop value of one million, five
hundred thousand dollars. Where the
land belongs to the general government
it would be sold to homesteaders, the
cost Of drainage to be paid for in ten
annual installments, and where 1T
belongs to private individuals the cost
of draining would be imposed upon the
holder thereof, to be paid in six annual
installments.
We are hardly prepared at this time to
say how warmly the proposition presents
Itself for favorable support, but for the
reason heretofore assigned tits stronger
proposition than national irrigation
and more deserving of favorable con-
sideration. Certain it is to be relieved
of this pestiferous insect alone would be
a return far above our ability to
