A SHORT CHAPTER ON GETTYSBURG.

Written for the RECORD, by the Old Veteran,
A. TRAuaER.
1t was not until the enemy was at
the very doors and only three days be-
fore the battle was begun, that the
people began to realize the magnitude
OF their danger, and Philadelphia which
was most tempting bait for the in
vaders commenced to pour forth her
men and treasures. Gen. Lee had ad-
vanced part of Ewell's corps Of his
army to Carlysle, with designs on
Harrisburg. Gen. Early with division
Of rebel troops had occupied York and
Wrightsville. The citizens Of this town
finding that the rebels were advancing
with the intention Of crossing the river,
fired the large bridge which spans it.
On June 80 Gen. Lee ordered these
advance troops back to Gettysburg.
Both leaders were aware of the import
ance of securing the position at Gettys-
burg. Lee was greatly deceived by the
generalship Of Reynolds, with $4,000
men he determined to attack Lees
superior number in the hope Of deceiv-
ing him in regards to the number Of
troops that had arrived in the Held, and
also Of holding him in check until the
arrival Of Meade with the greater part
Of his army. In the attack the gallant
Reynolds lost his life, and his small
force was driven back with great loss
through the streets Of Gettysburg. But
the object desired had been gained.
Lee had been completely deceived in
regards to the strength Of the Union
forces, and had been held in check long
enough for the army to arrive and take
possession which saved the Union and
compelled Lee to return in few days
to Old Virginia.

The Game Of Cricket.

Cricket dates from the reign of
Queen Elizabeth and had its origin in
FOUNDERS and stool ball. Lord Chester
field was the first man Of weight to
take 1t up seriously and Eton the first
public school. In those days scores
were notched upon tally sticks. the
ball had heavy cross seams. the bats
were curved. and the fielders stood al.
most In Indian file. The early laws of
the game had their inception at the
Star and Garter inn. Pail Mall, and
one Of the few Of these original laws
which obtain today is that of the
tossup. The wickets were twenty-five
inches high and the ball six inches In
length. The first county match was
when Kent played England In I'LL,
and on this occasion vast sums of
money changed hands.

DROUGHT OF 40 DAYS RUNS Tas
CROPS OF JERSEY AND aF>NA.
Potatoes and Com are Burned ey SeyA.
ing Sun.
cULTlvATlNG A HELP.

The wide agricultural district COM
prising the southern half Of the state is
suffering from the effects Of the most
severe and prolonged drought this sec
ton has known for many years.
For forty days and forty nights not a
single drop Of rain has fallen, and day
by day, under cloudless skies and a
scorching sun, crops are perishing, and
inch by inch the depth of powdered
dust that covers fields and roadwavs is
steadily increasing.
To add to the seriousness of the situ-
alton, forest fires are breaking out at
various points. The biggest, which
started few days ago near Browns
Mills, is still burning fercely. 1t has
already travelled fifty miles and has
reached the neighborhood ofLakewood.
Thousands of dollars worth OF prop.
erty has been destroyed, valuable tim
Der has been sacrificed and in one in
stance an immense cranberry bog at
Hanover, belonging to Joseph White
and valued at $4,000, was licked up
by the hungry flames.
What makes the certain loss to crops
much heavier than it would ordinarily
have been is the fact that there was so
much rain in the spring. For this rea-
son the plants did not send their roots
very deep in the search for moisture,
and now, when the dust is two feet
deep in some places, the roots are un-
able to reach the natural moisture in
the soil, and the plants are dying. I'M
mense damage is resulting to corn and
potatoes, and farmers say that even if
rain comes now at least half of the
crops are already lost.
Pastures are drying up, COWS are run
ming short of milk and many wells are
without water. In fact, the condition
could not be much worse.
From Millville comes the report that
south Jersey is virtually drying up and
suffering from the grip of the drought.
Unless there is rain within few days
actual distress will result
Already the damage to crops is
heavy. There hasn't been anything
like rain for six weeks. Berry crops
are short, corn is burning up, potatoes
are suffering and all vegetables are feel
ing the effects Of the dry spell. The
fruit crop has also been given severe
blow
Reports received at Trenton by the
state Agricultural Board show that the
whole of the state, with the exception
of the northern tier of counties, is vir-
tually burning up. In the northern
part of the state local thunder showers
have afforded some relief from the dry
spell, but in the southern section there
hasn't been any rain in so long that
official reports indicate woeful falling
off in the crops.
Fruit and vegetables are suffering.
| All of the streams in the southern Sec
tion of the state are lower than they
have ever been known to be.
