made their appearance during the past

While driving to his home just outside
of Townsend during storm Tuesday
evening, horse belonging to N. W. Rat
ledge was struck by lightning. The ami
NAL was badly stunned and was knocked
down with such force that it broke
shoulder blade. The horse had to be
killed. Mr.. Ratledge escaped injury.
The bolt of lightning struck only the
horse.
The dollar mark for the new wheat
crop was passed on Wednesday, creating
considerable excitement on the floor of
the Baltimore Chamber of Commerce.
The market closed with 81. .O03 and 81. .O14
bid for the respective grades, with but
little offerings forthcoming. The farmers
are holding on to their stocks in antici-
patton of higher prices, and there is every
indication of year of unusual prosperity
for the agricultural districts.
The best peaches of the Delaware crop
are now in the market. They brought as
high as one dollar per basket the first of
the week, but since then the average
price has been sixty cents. There is no
use denying the fact that the Delaware
peach is passing away. Very few good
peaches have been grown this year. Pre-
mature fruit has predominated and buy
ers say it is almost impossible to get the
fruit to the cities in good shape. Nearly
