twenty-nine bushels per acre. The corn
IL greatly benefited by the rain, having
been we'll cultivated and in excellent con-
dition. The early potatoes will not amount
to much, but the late ones will now be
certain to produce a good yield.
During the severe electrical storm which
accompanied the rain Friday night,
lightning killed a valuable horse OF Mrs
