LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1881 Lancaster intelligencer. TUESDAY EVENING, JUL.Y 19, 1881. CuuoBlzatieu by Assassination. One cannot show any reason, founded pn sense, why assassination should se cure canonization, yet it Las se often shown this effect that it must be con ceded te be a natural one. Our present experience with Mr. Garfield very strong ly exhibits the power of assassination in effacing, fn the eyes of many geed peo ple, what had appeared te be very dark spats in a public character. We said, the ether day, .iu speaking of the gush ever Garfield, that the assassin's bullet did net of itself inspire virtue; and we thought we said a very true thing winch no reasonable being would dispute. We still believe that what we said was true ; but there was error in our assumption that it would net be disputed, springing from the fact that we forget te re cognize that a great many geed peo ple fail te maintain themselves in a reasonable and reasoning condition, under emotional surroundings ; and as such people are in the majority in the world, when the emotional excite ment is general and great, it is mafltfest that it is unsafe te state, at such time,any truism with the certain expectation that it will be recognized and justified in the conduct of the people. We were net wrong in stating that assassination did net invest Mr. Garfield with virtue that he did net have before; but we were in error in net admitting that it had this natural effect, in the contemplation of many if net most of his fellow-citizens, who were se subdued by their emotions as 1e have taken, temporarily, at least, leave of their geed sense. That all men are feels at some lime or ether, if net always, is pretty generally conceded ; and the occasion that most men si-em te take for the exhibition of their felly is just such an occasion is this, when the popular heart is stricken with horror at the causeless assassination of a public man. The feeling of grief which the oc casion calls forth seems te be quite in compatible with any feeling df disappro disappre disappro lialien of the object of solicitude ; and the men and women whose hearts were filled with grief at the president's suffering and danger were generally unable te remem ber that they had net before regarded him as a saint. 1 1 has been thus always ; and many of the saints in the calendar get their title clear from an assassin's hand. Themas A'Becket,whe is net por trayed in the chronicles of the times as a saint-like character at all, became a saint only because he was foully slain. Te work out its virtue the assas sin's work must be successful. Mr. Garfield escapes, by his happy survival, the joy of canonization as a very great and pure public servant ; which would have been his in the minds of most of the people of his generation, no doubt, if if he had been taken from us : and this, though his record might have been far mere objectionable than it is. As it is, with his recovery he will come down again te the reach of the cold judgment of reason, and his fame must be justified by his deeds. It would seem te be a deal belter if people would nutlet themselves be upset by their emotions, and would net blew at one lime upon their servants as much tee het as at another time they blew tee cold. Mr. Garfield could spare some of the loudest of the waitings of sorrow at his affliction new, just as a month age he could have .spared the most violent of the denunciations te which he was then subjected by men of his etvn parly ; and in sparing them he would have been mere comfortable himself, and the peo ple who poured them out upon him would have been mere comfortable, tee ; seeing the wear and tear of spirit they would have saved themselves and the satisfaction with which they ought te have contemplated the fact that they had neLmade feels of themselves. But then are the most of people happy in net making themselves feels f or is it really se, that te be happy they need te be foolish ? De the refined people who daily read these bulletins of Bliss really enjoy them ? And de they want te knew all the particulars given them of Mr. Garfield's state ? And does it interest them te hear hew the doctors rubbed his back and cleaned his nails and tickled his nose and polished his tees ? And de they think it sacrilege te deride the quartet of doctors who are exhibiting their patient te the public iu all the nakedness of the sick room, and thrusiiug themselves and their devo tion into the picture every time ? There are some people whom it would please te beat Bliss : ethers manifestly would like te kiss him. There is no dis puting about tastes ; but the best taste is generally a medium ; and Bliss ought te be neither kicked nor kissed, but gently subdued and sat upon. The Water Works. Superintendent of Water Works Kitch frankly supplies us with the reasons for his resignation, and against their suf ficiency nothing can be said. Manifest ly the public has no right te expect a man te fill a position the labors of which are breaking him down physically, and has no interest in continuing him in an office of which he says the work is like ly te render him unable te discharge his duties at any time. At the same time we believe it would have been better for Mr. Kitch te have em bodied all these reasons in his re signation, se that the city coun cils might have taken them into con sideration at the -special meeting called in view of his proffered resignation. The duties of the position are of course mani fold and onerous. It is very certain that our present system of making the tenure of these iu charge se precarious and brie is an evil one. The whole water works management, as provided for by the exist ing municipal regulations, is insufficient and unscientific. With the immense in crease in the consumption and demand for water and of the ordinary duties of the chief magistrate, the plan of combin ing the presidency of the water works direction with the duties of the mayoralty is awkward ; and for it aud the annual changes of water works superintendency should be substituted some plan by which the whole system could be put and kept- into the hands of a. competent engineer, with enough time and help at his command te afford him opportunity for working out the best means te supply the city with am ple water at the lowest expense. If Mr. Kitch's resignation, and the reasons he gives for it, should lead our citizens and councils te think of these things and te originate and adept an improved system, they may be reconciled te it. Meanwhile it would be well te take no decided steps in the matter without reference te a general reconstruction of the present system in the near future. MINOR TOPICS. The deg days are here.

Feu the terror of the superstitious a curious coincidence is found iu the fact that the woman who attended the presi dent as nurse at the time of his birth died about the hour the assassin attempted his life.

Juu BUBiiiK. -s A Iteiuautlc Story of the Dead Luuiiua Millionaire. New Orleans Picayune. I see a great deal written about this gen tleman, lately deceased, about whom no one seems te knew much, but all agree that he was born in this north of Ireland, and claimed all his life te be a British sub ject. I have heard a different story, though I de notveuch for it. In my boy hood I spent two years in Greenbrier aud ether counties adjacent in the mountains of Virginia. Andrew Bierne,an Irishman, was the capitalist of that region. Tlie story current there was that one afternoon as he was riding and had stepped te water his horse at a little rivulet or brook, he found an infant boy carefully wrapped up asleep en a bed of rushes. Quite startled at the sight, after riding around aud hallooing hall an hour for the owners of the child, night approaching and wolves being num erous in the forests, he took the child and carried it te his house, where he placed it under the care of his favorite attendants, Jehn and his wife. The parents never turn ed up, aud in due time the boy was named Jehn Bunihidc, a name suggested by the locality where he was found buy the side of a burn or brook, a werJ common in Scotland and iu the north of Ireland. I often saw this young man iu the several mercantile establishments of Andrew Bicrue, in West Virginia, where he seemed te be a sort of supervising clerk or agciii, visiting the several stores alternately, aud 1 never heard there any ether account of him. Frem his business exactitude aud indus try, he was a great favorite with Mr. Bieriie, but with lew ethers, lie was taci turn, reserved aud nien.se, even when a young man. But his business habits and talents recommended him, and Mr. Biernc established him iu New Orleans with his brother or son, Oliver Bicrue, where his characteristics remained as they were iu early lire. He had no social feeling, no sympathy, no public spirit, but was pre eminently successful in trade. I de net vouch for this account of his origin, but a friend tells me that he met with Audrew Biernc in Congress, iu 18:13-0, and he did net contradict the story, but only laughed aud winked and Jshruggcd his shoulders when it was repeated. If my story be correct, it is amusing te re member hew pleasantly Mr. Burusidc jockeyed Gen. Butler and get back his great crop of sugar en the plea of being a British subject. One thing is certain, the deceased never conversed or would permit any one te converse with him about his origin or birthplace. One of his fellow clerks with Mrs. Biernc, Andrew Meunis (brother of the late Hen. Callohill Meunis, of Bedford county, Ya.), told me that he called ou Mr. Burusidc when in the zenith of his mercantile glory iu New Orleans, was received kindly, but happening te recur te the story of his birth, and con trasting it with his great success, Mr. Burusidc Hew into a rage, jumped up from the table, and never spoke te him after ward. ti:a:::i)y in the wtsT. Itloedy Fignt Anion;; Indians. Greeuleaf, a small village in the Chero kee nation, about 50 miles west of Fert Smith, was the scene last Saturday of one of the most horrible tragedies ever en acted en even that sanguinary soil. The Creek aud Cherokee Indians held a barbe cue ou that ilay, preparatory te nominat ing candidates for the annual clcctieu, which takes place next Monday. As usual ou such occasions, whisky Unwed freely as mythical milk and honey flews in the Premised Laud. Among theso present were two full-blooded Indians, Bill -Levctt aud Deer Track. Between these tw6 per sons aud two half-breeds named General Grant aud Jim Satterwaite a deadly feud existed, and when whisky began te circu late trouble commenced brewing. In a a fit of frenzy Deer Track made onslaught en General Grant. Fighting became gen eral immediately, and a hundred knives aud pistols flashed iu the sunlight. The combatants seemed like infuriated demons and fought with desperation. Knife clashed against knife, and occasionally a navy six rang out. They neither gave nor asked quarter. Fer two hours a bloody conflict raged. At its close, seven dead and a score of wounded attested its bitter aud deadly earnestness Tlie full-bleed faction remained masters of the field and, with their usual savagery began the work of mutilating the dead bodies of their vic emics. The heads of Jim Satterwaite and his father were severed from then bodies and were carried en poles in a pro pre cession. The bodies of the ether victims werd horribly mutilated. Ne arrests have been made nor arc the authorities endeavoring te make arrests. THIS OTIIKK .SIDE. A Dill'ereut Vleir or the Christ inus-Guiies Murder. Washington Cor. riiil'a Times. The indictment and arraignment of Jas. T. Christmas, iu Washington, D. C, yes terday, for the murder of Win. G. Whit ney en the 25th of last month attracts some attention, chiefly from the general imprcssieu that the evidence developed since the coroner's inquest puts a new light ou the case. The murdered man, it will ue remembered, was the seu of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, and the accused is her son-in-law. The former was a worthless, drunken lellew and the latter reputed a model young man. There was a mutual Hostility between them owiug-tethe real or imaginary favoritism of Mrs. Gaines and the possibility of a cor responding division of her property, which is said te involve millions. The local press has done a geed deal toward wrongly prcjudgiug the case in favor of the model son-in-law, if subsequent stories may be relied upon. Tlie fact that the mother of the murdered man was believed te sustain the murderer did much toward this sentiment. Nothing could be further from the truth Mrs. Gaines regards the deed with the utmost horror. A hoarder in the house at the time informs your correspon dent that no doubt new exists in her mind that it was a deliberately-planned murder coolly executed when it was thought the plea of self-defense might be successfully made, whatever the subsequent develop ments. The court acted upon the evi dence before the coroner and fixed the bail at $5,000. Mrs. Gaines was asked te go his bail by some of his friends, a preposition which she indignantly refused. While a number of women and children were gathering weed from the ruins of a burned building in Jescy City, the chim ney and the tool leli in, killing two of the children and seriously injuring a third. TUK PHtaiDEXI'S FEVfcK. Arising Frem Trautlcn: Causes. A dispatch which was sent out from Washington just before' midnight last night says : The president's afternoon fever was a little mere strongly marked te-night than last night, the pulse showing au increase of four beats, the temperature a rise of five-tenths, respiration slight correspond ing acceleration as compared with maxi mum of yesterday. It is proper te say, by way of comment upon the bulletins to day, that the facts therein stated give no uneasiness te the attending surgeons. There is a slight increase in fever, but it arises from known causes and is undoubt edly transient in its character. The reasons assigned for it are as fol fel lows : The presideut, during the past three days and mere, and especially to day, has taken largely increased quan tities of solid feed." His stomach is still sensitive and manifests its sensitiveness when in any way overtaxed by symptoms of disturbance. Such was the case today aud this gastric trouble is thought te have been instrumental in aggravating the symptoms. The president this afternoon ibecame overwerried in the hand of a bar ber. He expressed a desire te have his beard and hair trimmed and his head rub bed, and at his request a barber was sum moned. The latter spent some time in rubbing him, and although the immediate effects were pleasurable, the results were everfatigue and increased feverishness. Aside, however, from the transient rise in the pulse ana temperature the president's symptoms continue te be favorable. Dr. Bliss, upon being asked at 11:30 te-night whether there was anything in the pa tient's condition te justify uneasiness, re plied: "Nothing whatever. He is doing well. The fever is subsiding. His pulse is below 100 again aud he is sleeping quietly. He became a little everwearied this afternoon, but he will probably be as well as usual te-morrow morning." In reply te a question with regard te the wound Dr. Bliss says : "The work of sup puratien is going en satisfactorily aud the track of the ball is slowly being cleared by the discharge. In dressing the wound to night the flexible drainage tube without the exertion of thu least force dropped into the depth of live and a half inches, showing that the wound is clear and open te that distance. It has been said by per sons who have never seen the president since his injury that the bullet probably did net cuter the cavity of the body at all. Our experience wih the drainage tube te-night confirms our previous ex pressed judgment that the bullet did ou ter the abdominal cavity and pierce the liver. I believe that it passed through that organ and is ledged in the anterior wall of the abdomen." In conclusion Dr. Bliss said that there was nothing in the president's symptoms te cause anxiety or te indicate that he is net progressing as favorably as could be expected. At 11 ;30 the president's pube was.96 and he is sleeping quietly. -m tm n 11 IF. MISSING BULLET FOUND. It Ledges iu tlie 1! u a (lerinan Glazier. District Attorney Corkhill found yester day the missing bullet which was fired at the president and for which there has been se much search. It appears that a German glazier, who tramps around the streets repairing windows, went into the depot te get a ten dollar bill changed en the morning the presideut was shot. He was standing in the main room about 40 feet from where the assassin steed and iu a south cast direction. He had begun te unstrap his box iu which he carried glass, aud had get ene strap off his shoulders when he heard the noise of the pistol, aud immediately three panes of glass iu his box were shattered. He at e:ic3 rushed from the depot, thinking it was no place for safety. On Saturday he was cleaning out bis box aud found the ball iu his putty and was narrating the fact te his friends, when one of them told him that it was fired at the time the president was shot, and took him te the district attorney's office, where he gave his statement, and gave up the ball. He thinks it was the first shot that broke the glass, but says they were se close together that he had net time te "get away Bis position con firms the statement of Sener Camache, the Vcnczulcau minister, as te the exact posi tion of the assassin at the time of the firing of the shots VICTIMS OF THE UUAT. An Alarming Kacurd 50O Deattn Iu Cin cinnati in Six Days. A special despatch from Cincinnati says: " Appalling as was the number of pros trations from the heat daring the past week, as reported in the daily press, the official returns show that the story of suf fering and death' was only half told. The press reports made the number of fatal cases about forty each day ; this number is mere than doubled by the official re- turns, which show than in six days there were 500 fatal casus. Te this number should be added a large number of ether deaths which arc credited te old age and various diseases, but are really due te the excessive heat. Such a death rate is without a parallel in the his tory of the city. The deadly heat came without warning and did its work with a merciless swiftness that Mie most fatal epidemics have rarely equalled. Men were stricken, and died while being carried te their homes. Others fell in the streets or at their places of business, and were dead before intelligent assistance could be ren dered them. Belts of vengeful lightning. could hardly have done their work quicker. Frem the first warning te the last-coming breath the victim was conscious only of suffering, and night brought almost no relief. People died in their beds who had retired iu the best of health, aud the hospital ambulances were kept running until the fiery rage of another suu breke ever the city. Many of these whose circumstances would permit fled te the North, but this number was small compared te wbat it would have been had the fearful mortality been known at the time. People bcc.ime gravely appreheusive, but it is only new that the official report of deaths has been given that they realize the fiery ordeal through which they have passed. It is remembered, tee, that many hundreds were severely stricken who escaped death, out will henceforth be particularly sensi tive te excessive beat, and are prepared for the most obstinate of diseases, brain trouble. The weather is cool and refresh ing te-day, and the congratulations which are-heard" en every hand are earnest aud reverent." A xraiiu en neUI. Harrisburg rati let Ohie is .slightly backward in coming for ward with its contributions te the fund for Mrs. Garfield. Iu fact the only sub scription received from that state by Mr. Cyrus W. Field has turned out te be a forgery. ' A New Yerk telegram explains the matter as fellows : "The worst imposi tion was practiced en Mr. Field te-day by some silly if net malicious persons in Cincinnati. He received a postal card with the Cincinnati stamp en it, and this message : " Draw ou me for 5,000 for Mrs. Garfield's fund," signed Samuel Fos Fes dick, Cincinnati, July 11. Mr. Field thought it rather singular that se' import ant a message should be sent en a postal card, aud sent it with a note of inquiry te a former citizen of Cincinnati, who replied that Fosdick was a very wealthy old gen tlemen, and that it was probably all right, though he expressed some surprise at the largeness of the gift. The factrthat the signature was plainly net written by an old man was explained by the former Ciucinuatian ou the ground that the Mr. i Fosdick was se old and feeble that per haps somebody had written it for him. This satisfied Field's questioning and the amount was added te the list. That the whole thing is a peer joke, designed te in convenience Fosdick, there can be no doubt " Inquiry in Cicciunati showed that Fosdick never heard of the subscrip tion list and like the rest of Ohie didn't propose te subscribe. The fact is the Ohie nfen has no faith in the precept that it is mere blessed te give than te receive. His best. held is in takuig all he can get and in keeping a vigilant lookout for something mere. I1EAX STANLEY'S DEVTH. Peaceful Knil of one et the Most Noted Eng lish Divines. The Dean of Westminster is dead. He was attacked by erysipelas iu the head en Friday, and little hope of his recovery was entertained. He was attended by Sir Wm. Jcnncr and Dr Harper, and was nursed by his sister, Mrs. Yaughan, who has rarely left his bedside. Inquiries respecting his condition have been continuous since Sat urday, all classes evincing the deepest con cern in the condition of the reverend and beloved dean. The Qneen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince and Prince-s of Germany have made constant inquiries. During last night the erysipe las extended te the dean's shoulders. Early yesterday morning Canen Farrar administered the sacrament. At a quar ter te twelve last evening Dean Stanley passed calmly and peacefully away. The Archbishop of Cauterbury arrived at the deanery of Westminster just in time te sp?ak a few words te Dean Stanley before the latter became unconscious. The dean will be buried beside his wife in West minster Abbey. The Daily Netcs says that no living divine will be meie deeply re gretted or mere widely missed than is Dean Stanley. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was born De cember 13, 1815, at Alderley, Cheshire, where his father, Dr. Edward Stanley, subsequently Bishop of Norwich, was rec tor. At an early age he was sent te Dr. Arneld's school, at Rugby, aud figured in " Tem Brown's Scheel Days" as the "fair haired little Arthur," at whom seme bad room mate threw a beet while he was saying his prayers, for which ir reverent deed the bad loom-mate had Tem Brown te fight. Yeung Stanlc'y graduated at University college, Oxford, in 1838, and was tutor there till 1850, when he entered the church. He did net have te wait long for promotion, be bo be ceming Canen of Canterbury in 1852, chap plain te the prince consort a little later, and in 185(5 professor of ecclesiastical history at Oxford, where he remained un til made Dean of Westminster in 1804. His duties as such involved his preach ing in Westminster Abbey at the regular Sunday morning service. In November, 1874, he was made rector of the Uni versity of St. Audrew, in Fife, Scot land. His attainments iu educational and thoolegical matters ni.ide him a leader in ecclesiastical politics, and he has been for some years regarded as the head of the bread church party. He has pub lished a number of books, the best known of which are his life of Dr. Themas Arneld, his Rugby teacher ; sermons and essays en the Apostolic Age, a commen tary en Corinthians, Historical Memorials of Canterbury Cathedral and Westmin ster Abbey ; The Bible, Its Fef m and Substance ; Scripture Portraits and Other Miscellanies ; and various compilations of the most celebrated of his lectures. Dean Stanley vLiited America three years age. aud preached one Sunday in St. James' Protestant Episcopal church at Twenty second and Walnut streets, Philadelphia. LATEST NEWS BY MAIL.

Merrow, aged 34 years, a bookkeeper, of Philadelphia, was drowned by falling out of a beat en Darby creek. A case of smallpox has appeared in Pittston. The victim has a family eight children, all of whom, it is feared, may contract the disease. $ Ella Stevenson, an insaue girl, who was kept an home, in McCandless township near Pittsburgh, killed her father, .65 years, by kicking him in the stomach, yt s terday, during a fit of maniacal excite ment. The manner iu which the reorganization of the Pennsylvania militia has been ac complished te bring the soldiery within the scope of the $220,000 annual appropriation which has beceme a law of the state, meets with the approval of Majer General Jehn F. Hartranl't. A cat near Lackawaxen had three kittens which died, and a boy who had found three young rabbits put them in the place of the kittens. The cat has adopted them, suckles them and apparently is as fend of them as if they were kittens, while the little rabbits' take te their adopted mother and thrive. A Sad Tragedy.

Superintendent of Water Works Kitch, whose resignation, te take effect Aug. 1, was noticed yesterday and who was called upon by the" Intellk;k.ci:r te give his reasons for his sudden departure, has freely accorded an interview te a representative of the I.v tellic.excer and frankly stated his rea sons for his resignation. They are, briefly, overwork and the prospect of complete physical exhaustion if he does net retire from them, in which case mere serious re sults would happen te him and te the city than if he resigns giving the municipality timely notice te cheese his successor. Mr. Kitch says that the labors of this position, as he has tried te perform its duties, are entirely tee great for any one man te accomplish properly without an utter and early breakdown. He is ac customed te arise before daybreak, go te' the reservoir and thence te the water work- inspecting both, get into town in time te start his laborers out en their daily work ; de his office work; spend the day riding ever town, back and forward te the water works, supervising in detail every depart ment of labor, subject te call at all hours of the night and often te long stretches of labor, between nightfall aud sunrise. Mr. hatch .says that lie has discharged these duties te the best of his ability, satisfac torily he believes, honestly he knows, and without sparing himself. It has over worked him and he cannot continue it without an entire breakdown. He is proud of what he has done in the way of water works improvement aud challenges examination of it. Te continue his ex haustive labors he docs net feel justified in view of his duty te his family aud him sell. Without suggesting any special im provements or chauges iu the administra tion and duties of i he waterworks supcr intccdency, Mr. Kitch explains hew its duties are tee manifold for any one man te give attention te iu the ordinary hours of labor. These duties com prise complete supervision of the works and the whole supply system ; the reservoir and all the distributing mains: the purchases and delivery of all supplies ; the levying of the water tax ; the progress of new buildings in the city aud their water connections ; the increased supply and all new facilities added by individuals; the supervision of labor en the streets and attention te all complaints of inadequate supply. In a general way he says eue'man could and should give supervision te these, but the details of every branch are tee numerous for his proper attention. There are no foreman of gangs, no assistant super intendents, no one te relieve him from re sponsibility and no eue te share it with him down te the minutest details. Besides the ordinary labors, special improvements, like the new boilers aud houses seen te be erected, require constant attention. These alone will take one man's time, aud te de justice te them and te the ordinary oner ous work of the department is mere, he feels, than he can de properly and any ether way he is net willing te de it. WHO IS HK' Win. lflaclc Killed In the West. .1. Hamilton Reigart, a seu of the late Hen. Em'l C. Reigart, of this city, at present mayor of Bcleit, Wisconsin, has sent te Mayer MacGenigle the following letter : " Beloit, Wis., July 16, 1881. Hen. Jehn T. MacGenitjlr, Mayer, Lancaxtcr, l'a. Dear Sir : The marshal informs me that a man was killed within the city limts last night at 11 o'clock. Further in quiry reveals the following facts. His name is William Black; about 27 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches tall and rather slender ; weighs about 150 pounds ; parents living in Lancaster ; had two sisters married in Baltimore ; one living en Liberty street. His companions state that they had been working neat- Rocklen, III., lour miles south of Beloit, en ene of the extensions of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul It. R. Ce., and had walked te Bcleit. The weather being unusually oppressive he concluded te cool off by sitting en the end of a railroad tie the ethers going into the car te sleep. Overcome by sleep he is sup posed te have fallen ever the rail and was struck aud killed by the train. Had he been alone he could net have been recog nized se fearfully was he mangled. His remains were buried in our cemetery this morning. I write this, that, should you ascertain his relatives or friends, they may have an opportunity of otherwise disposing of the remains should they desire it. It may aid you te knew that one of his companions steadily asseits that he was a carriage blacksmith by trade, and was told se several times by Black. Our city demands this te be done aud common humanity could de no less. I have the honor te be Very respectfully, J. H. Reigart, 3Iaver. After a diligent search of the city di- i rectory and inquiries maue at tne pest office, aroencr the carriage, factories aud among the members of the several fam ilies named Black residing in this town, we are unable te gain any further infor mation relating te the unfortunate man tha"n is contained in 3Iayer Reigart's letter. THE LEAF. Lecal Tobacco Notes. Favorable reports as te the condition of the growing crop are received from uearly all sections of the county. The plants are healthy and growing finely, although there is a geed deal or irregularity in their size, owing te the present resetting of plants eaten off by the cut-worm. The time for the depredations of that pest has passed, and what most new concerns the farmer are damages that may be done by the flea beetle aud the tobacco worm. When the plants were small the fleas were numerous aud did a geed deal of damage te the young plants both m the plant-beds and in the fields, but the soaking rains of two weeks age appear te have almost de stroyed tliem. Since the present dry spell they have reappeared in seme localities, but are net numerous, and they have done hut little damage. The green worm, the great tobacco worm, has appeared in considerable numbers, but as harvest is new ever, the farmers aud their boys have ample time te devote te their extermination. Seme of the earlier plant ed tobacco has been already topped, and quite a large proportion of the crop is al most ready for topping, aud here it may be well te call the attention of the inex perienced farmer te the oft repeated adage ' top low;" it is mere profitable te have from six te twelve tine large leaves en a stock, than twice as as many little, narrow sickly ones. In geed, rich, mellow greuud from 12 te 16 leaves may be safely left en a stock, but iu less favored lands the only way te get large leaves is te " top low." In some localities of the county there have within a week past beeu local showers that have supplied the growing plants with needed moisture, but what is required new te ensure a full crop is a geed soak ing rain of two or three days' duration. Some sales of packings of the crop of 1880 are reported : Messrs. N. Lachcn bruch & Bre. have sold 630 cases of their Lancaster packing te Fester, Hilsen & Ce., cigar manufacturers of New Yerk. Messrs. L. & E. Werthcimcr have sold 300 cases (ene report says only 152 cases) te Messrs. I. Hamburger & Ce., of New Yerk. Messrs. Sechrist and Kcndig, of Lancaster, are reported te have sold te Mr. Lcdermau, the former 44 cases and the latter 198 cases. There have probably been ether sales effected. The Schreedcr A: Ben tobacco, injured by the recent fire iu Tobacco avenue, has net beeu sold. The Lancaster correspondent of the New Yerk Tolacce Journal has this te say about it : "The question as te whether it was in jured by its close proximity te fire, has net yet been solved. It is known, hew ever, that the means adopted by the un derwriters for its disposal have beeu as in jurious te its sale as the-siuoke which is supposed te have iujured it. An offer of 12 cents a pound, present weight, is re ported as having been made and refused, f here is a strong probability that the en tire packing will eventually be disposed of at auction, the wisest course the parties interested could possibly pursue." The Tobacco Leaf, in referring te the trade prospect, says : " It is new ovident that, whether the expert demand be great or small this season, a large business will be done in seed leaf for domestic account. The promptitude with which our largest cigar manufacturers are taking held of the uew crop, indicates very clearly the riiag riiag uitude of their wants under the pressure of a apiritcd demand for their goods, l'erxeual. The Leaf Tobacco says also : " Mr. M. tiei-shel, representing the firm of Gershel Bres., at Lancaster, gave our market a call during the week. Mr. Gershel states that almost every pound of ecceptablc Pennsylvania leaf is new in the bauds of dealers. Mr. Daniel M. Mayer, of the linn of Kerbs & Spiess, who left Lancaster a few weeks age, has returned. He says he has been at several summer resorts Leng Brauch Leng Beach, Ceney Island, Sara toga and ether places vainly endeavoring te keep cool and comfortable ; and he de clares that net one of the fashionable resorts that he has visited can for a moment be cjiuparcd with old Lancas ter in furnishing genuine comfort in het weather. He wiil spend the balance of the season in our midst. Mr. Clias. F. Tag, of Messrs. Chas h Tag Sen, has taken his departure for Europe, anil will spend his time this sea son visiting the points of interest en the continent. Mr. B. Atwater, of Berlin, Conn., went' home en Saturday te rusticate after exsing 932 cases of tobacco from the 16th of May te the 8th of July. Benjamin N. Nelt, of East Hemp field, has sold te Lcdermau two acres at 23, 6 and u, amounting te $707.44. Mr. Lederman has purchased the i61tew-. iug crops : A. W. G. Redsccker, Eliza-' bethtewn, at 14, 5 arid 2 ; H. L. Landi., Landis Valley, at 12, 5 and 2 ; Jacob Wiley Mount Nebo, at 15, 5 and S. A "BUG." Kaslly Irientilied by our Naturalist. Fairfield, July 18, 1881. Dear Ixtellie enter : I scad you here with a bug which you will oblige me by handing it te Dr. Rathveu and publishing his account of its pedigree through your columns. Personally, I am net very partial te hugs as they seem te delight te hover around me, and as "familiarity breeds contempt," my intercourse with them en my part is generally flavored with the double concentrated i-xtract of warm weather profanity. The specimen was found, at Mr. Alvin Cutler's barn, near Kites Eddy, by Mr. Ed. Hcwes and brought te me with the request te de with it what I have done. Mr. Hcwes pinned the bug te a beard te keep it from blowing while he was at work an unusual thing for Hewes te de, work and an appreciative bird came along and devoured part of the treasure, at which misfortune Hewes wept.

Samuel Jacksen, has been unfortunate, having had a cow choked te death ou apples aud his horse se severely injured by stepping en a nail that he has bjeu cempslled te hire one in his stead. The tobacco crop is excellent. Jehn Beard, the pioneer tobacco raiser in this section, says there is a better outlook for tobacco this year than ever before, and he has been raising it for nearly a dezeu years and universally receives a geed price for it. Our Lancaster ceuuty neighbors in pass ing along leek at it with ep.-u-cyed aston ishment another indication that it must be geed.
