A NATIONAL' DISGRACE Otacial Report of the Late Itlnssacre of Peaceful Indians. One Hundred and Neventeen Women and Children Butchered In Cold Blood. WASITINGITON, July 18.—The Board of In dian Commissioners have ,just received an official report of Lieut. Whitman, of the Third Cavalry. concerning-the late massa cre of friendly Indians in Arizona. In Feb ruary five old women came to his camp ' fainishingand nearly naked. He fed them, and they asked permission to return with some others and ayoung warrior who desir ed to be at peace. The latter came, and, after some negotiations, brought in with him his whole band and was assured of premeadon and aid. All were placed in a designated camp and the facts reported to Gen. stone man, and instructions as to feeding and treating them asked for all. The reply re ceived from Stoneman 's headquarters, after a long delay, was to return the report with out comment, exeept to call attention to the fact that it had not been verified ex actly according' to regulations. After two or three months the number of In dians which had come in and were living peaceably, constantly aiding in the work about the fort by gathering hay and wood for themselves, as far as possible, was 510. The officer in charge gives a most saLiArlIC tory account of the behavior of the Indi ans ; of their desire to k'.ep the peace-and to contribute as far as possi tile to their own support. They were also active in exert• Mg a 00 I influence upon the Indians in the Vicinity. From first to last they acted in good faith. and exhibited great content and happiness. 'I ney were given to un derstand that they wore under the pro tectionTf the goverhinent, but litany had moved their camp to higher ground, at a little distance from the fort, for the purpose of health, and because water was more abundant. On tho morning of the :10th of April, a band of citizens, from Tu, eon, Arizona, without warning or provo cation Many kind, surprised the peaceful and Unarmed camp, and began indiserimi nate butchery.

WasnnverroN, July 24.—One of our citi zens has received a letter from Mrs. J. G. Wharton, sister•in-law of Mrs. E. G Wharton, now in jail in Baltimore on the charge of poisoning General Ketcham, and attempting to poison Eugene Van Ness, in which she says: "When my dear husband and child died I did not know what was the reason of their death ; but after my child's funeral, only a week, I believe, I was taken suddenly ill, and at one time was thought to be dying. I told the doctor I was poisoned the day I was taken sick, and then I suspected that she had poisoned my husband and child also, and told my brother and all of my husband's family also when it occurred, nearly four years ago, but they thought my mind was allected,and told menot to sayso ; that she might prosecute me, and I could not prove it; but I have never spoken to her since. I was brought from her house, and have never had but one opinion--that she poisoned them and killed them,and I barely escaped with my life. My daughter never had but one hemorrhage in her life, which Dr. May can testify to, and did not die of consumption, but vomited her life away, and although I feared she might break a blood-vessel in vomiting she did not, but being weakened by distress she died, and I just escaped. I write this letter in my bed, for I am too weak from being so distressed to sit . up. Mrs. 11. Wharton owed my husband:32,soo, which we, with difficulty, got after his death. lam now at North Conway, at the Sunset Pavilion, New Hampshire. Please tell what I have told you, for I have never had but one opinion, and that was that M re. lien ry Wharton poisoned and killed my husband and dangbter, and tried to kill me, and I said so at the thne, nearly four years ago, and it was not the first time she tried to poison illy daughter either. I saw mentioned, this morning, in a Pos • ton paper, about a vial of brandy that we sent hi my brother in Philadelphia to have analyzed !only it was whiskey that we sent It to all true, and occurred almost one year before they were killed by that woman.

These anti other delinquencies being con tinually exposed by the Indian Bureau, the Commissioner naturally grow resod e, and diseoveriug that his opportunities of plunder were one by one out off, he in dignantly resigns. In his letter to the President he says, with amusing frank ness, that "the Commissioner cti Indian Af fairs, under the present arrangements, is merely a supernumerary °Meer of the government, his principal duties being simply those of a clerk to a Board of Indian Commissioners, operating wholly outside of and independent of the Indian Bureau." It is as if a pickpocket in a crowd, finding the detectives watching Mtn su clos=ely that he could not ply his vocation, should say to his vonfederates "lientleineti, the very intrusive and disagreeable attentions it the ()Meer, of the law render my further stay here superfluous. I will at 011,3 re tire" But what says the President to this let ter.'

The parties, especially Mr. McCollum, had been quite active in their efforts to capture the outlaws. Hence their desire, we suppose, to be revenged on them particularly.

It is feared that other murders have been perpetrated ere this, The county, as may well be imagined, is in a terrible state of dreitil and apprehension, but we hope that the time of deliverance is near. The St. Louis Republican says: There is no other business so profitable, and stock men are regarded as the most wealthy and prosperous in the State. I r this is the case now when cattle are so cheap and transpor tation so long and difficult, what will it be in a short time when railroads will pene trate the stock region ?

Mr. K. has 40,000 head of cattle in his pasture, and is said to have expended $lOO,OOO in fencing and other buildings connected with his business.— Mr. Richard King's rancho on the Ger trude's, not far front the bay, is said to be still larger, and to contain 182,000 acres, and 70,000 head of neat cattle and 20,000 horses, besides several thousand sheep and goats. tEl3=l The expense attending the business is comparatively small. Mexicans are gen erally employed at low wages. They ac company the herds on horseback, and have stations for shelter, ex., along the range, which sometimes extends a hundred miles or more. In consequence of Indian incursions on the upper Rio Grande, rattle raising for the present is chiefly confined to the lower portions of that river, and to the coast range around Corpus Christi and Matagorda hays. Large numbers have been shipped to New Orleans and Eastern cities from these sea ports, chiefly slaughtered and salted, pack ed in ice, or put up in vessels arranged on the refrigerating plan.

He was found working on a farm and taken to Reading, where he was committed to pri son in default of bail, to answer at Court. The silk hat was tound in his possession, the taking of which he did not deny. It is said that young Weidner will fall heir to some $17,000 upon his reaching the age of 21, which will be next year. Tim LITTLE. BRITAIN cor respondent informs us that the long talked of new church of Little Britain Congrega tion, is finally contracted for by William B. Drake, of Little Britain Township, for the sum of six thousand live hundred dol lars and the old house. Great contention for a time existed in the congregation as to the kind of a building to erect. They finally decided to build of brick, with base ment, vestibule and gallery. Things are likely to go on harmoniously. Mr. Drake Is a first-class carpenter, and will, no doubt, do a good job. Wonsu.—We regret to learn that Mr. B• Yecker, proprietor of Fulton Hall, who was so severely hurt by a fall from a scaffold ou Monday afternoon, is considerably worse today, his injuries being of a more serious nature than was at first supposed. THE LANCASTER Pens-EXCTITNG RACES. —On Tuesday, July IBth, took place on the, track of the Lancaster Park Assoc'atlon the much•talked-of trot between the rival horses of Berks and Lancaster—" Topsy," of Reading, owned by Marcus Bohm, and "Dave," of this city, entered by Mr. M. MacGonigle. A larger concourse than usual on such occasions was on the ground, in cluding large delegations of sporting men from Reading and Philadelphia, all our lo cal sports, and hundreds or our most sub stantial men and handsome ladles. The day was all that could have been desired, and the traT,k was in good condition, though perhaps a few seconds slower than usual, on account of the recent rains. Pools solo briskly, the friends of the respective horses backing them liberally. at almost even rate 3—Topsy having the call at about 20 to 18. Messrs. AfeCaskey, Kepner, and Hoerner were selected E t judges, a prat they have often tilled with marked ability and fairness. At the first tap of the bell the horses ap peared on the track and made a few dashes in opposite directions for the purpose of warming up. There was a wonderful dif ference In their appearance. Topsy was black, glossy, clean-limbed and active al most to impatience. Beside her Dave look ed overgrown, tame and big-footed, but as he warmed up to his work he became more stately, his stride lengthened, and he look ed as though he meant to give the little mare trouble. she had one advantage. however, having won tile toss, and took her position inside. First Heit.—After two misses the horses got away well together, Topsy slightly in the lead; at the lower end Dave broke, tp the astonishment of his friends, and lost several lengths. Ile gained along the back stretch and upper end, and came down the straight in splendid style, bidding fair to reach the half-mile score iide by side with Topsy, but broke again near the distance and fell off almost a dozen lengths; during the second half. mile he gained gradually all the way around but not enougn to win, Topsy taking the heat by several lengths, under a hard pull, in Topsy trotted the mile without having made a skip. and was at once made a strong iavorite at 1:0 to 13, the friends of Dave being a good deal alarmed at his unexpected breaking and at the slow liens of the pace. Still they backed him freely for hundreds of dollars more at the above odds. S'ernnd I eett .—Oti at the first attempt, lave n trifle ahead; at the lower turn Popsy took the lead and soon showed day ight between herself and Dave; at tile ipper turn she broke and Dave collared ter, and in this position they turned into he straight and came thundering down to yard the - stund, Dave outfuoting the mare ind making the half mile, a half-a length dirad ; in the harkstretrh Popsy broke wire, Dave led her at the tipper turn by hree lengths, and erected the score and cult the heat by our lengths in 'l'ho tables were irate turned ; there was great excitement ; the friends 01 Dave were jubilant., twit piled up their money on hint ; freely, offering 10 to 7 and In some in stances 2 to ' their offers being as freely taken by the friends 01 the pretty man. Third lire[.—'The horses got MI even seed-nil' and went together to the lower turn where Dave broke, coming utmost to astand•wAll and losing six,or eight lengths; on the bark stretch, Malt / the upper end, Topsy broke without losing 1111.1211 ground; Ri 1110 at at the tonne point Dave broke itnil fell away, being a dozen lengths behind at the end of the first half-mile, and losing all chance of winning the heat; the second half mile a' t.+ trotted tamely without much change of position, 'Popsy taking* things easy and crossing the score inn a jog trot several lengths.aluatil of Dave, in 2.431. After the third heat, many of Dave's friends forsook him and commenced "hedging" on 'Popsy, she being the favor ite by about 20 to 8, and in some instances, 20 to 7, at which ligure the faithful still stuck to Dave. 'But the horse would not sweat, and was evidently a little out of eon- Fe it Ileat.—Aar one wiss the word " go" was given the horses passing under the line head and head; at the lower turn Topsy broke, and broke again on the back stretch losing but little ground ; at the up per turn Dave broke badly, Topsy com pleting her half mile fully six lengths ahead of him; Dave gradually crept up around the lower turn and along the backstretch, but to almost everybody it looked impossi ble for hint to Win ; when by a tremendous burst of speed down the homestretch, ho shut out daylight, lapped the mare, and before she could reach the score thrust his head to the front and stole the heat by a short neck, in 2:12ll• He was rewarded with hearty applause for his unexpected triumph, and as he be gun to sweat freely, the hopes of his admir ers revived. A good many thought, how ever, that if Topsy's driver had not been over-confident, he might have won the heat and race by pushing her when Dave was so far in the rear; so she remained the fa vorite in the pools at about 25 to 15. Filth Heat —Dave looked as though he bad sweat too much, his body being quite wet, but hia action betrayed no fatigue; Topsy uncovered as handsomely as before; they went off with an ergo start, and , 'Popsy drew a little ahead in rounding the lower turn, but Dave was trotting his [test, and the mare lost her gait in trying to get away from hint; she lost six or eight lengths by the break, itrol never recovered them, Dave making his half-mile that ills tance in advance other; when being p u shed at the lower turn, she :Wain broke; along the backstretch she trotted finely, rapidly closing the gep. and lapping the horse aroutid the upper end ; but Dave had reached his favorite point on the track— the homestretch—down which he thunder ed with impetuous stride; Topsy conk! not stand the pace—she broke and could not be got down—Dare crossing the score and winning the heat and race under a hard pull, in 2:12.1. 'rho friends of Topsy were ,11 . appointed and lost heavily; but they are a gallant set of gentlemen, and still have faith in their favorite. They say Topsy 0,111,1 and should have taken the fourth heat and won the race; and we hear it rumored that they are willing to back their favorite for another tilt with Dave, when ever his friends choose to say out, Although the time !node was nothing extra, the race was the most exciting tine we have ever seen on the Park traek, and perhaps more money changed hands on the result of it than tin tiny tither race run there.

Bet wren the first and second heats of the trot there was a running race, wile and repeat, between John Brenner's Huston, and Uriah liitzer's Sorrel Dan, for a pre mium of :3140, Boston won the race in two straight heats. The only exciting feature connected with it being that at the conch:- ,ion of the first heat, both horses ran away with their leather-weight7riders, and could not be stopped until after they cad run around the track live times—three more -than was necessary. They seemed to think they were in a four-mile rare, and each did his best to win, there being scarcely a length between them during the two miles and a half. The little riders, though power less to stop thew, stuck gallantly to their pig skins, and escaped unhurt. The h.,1- lowing is a summary: Lancaster Park Assoriallon. JnjJ I•.

Lau..._ Thlll , day al terneon a freight train bound westward carried through this city two sets of liar- ro , -gatige cars which were built by the daeltson and ;sharp t'oinpatiy, to Winning ton, Delaware, for the Deliver and the Rio tirande railroad. The passenger cars were thirty-live feet in length, seven feet in width and ten feet six inches in height, On one side the aisle is a row of double seats, and I on the other a row of single seats. The seats are as 00111ENtable and roomy as those I in use on roads of wider gauge, and there are seats lid' thirty-four passengers in each car. The smoking - cars are finite a novelty in their way, having two elegantly cushioned seats running from end to end back to back, with others of smaller dimensions disposed I about the e inlet,. The nnish of the ears inside and nut is elegant, the seats being lined with tine plush, and the panneling and other adornments are highly polished and artistically painted. The centre of i gravity is kept as low as that of any ordinary railroad car can be by reducing the height of the sills to twenty-seven inches above the rails, which is eighteen inches less than that on broad-gauge roads. The trucks upon which the passenger cars rest are constructed in the most substantial man tier, and it only requires all examina tion to prove to the most incredulous that these cars will be fully as safe as any others —as little liable to upset or to meet with any of the accidents which are customary on railroads. The baggage cars attached to the trains are models of convenience. The passenger cars are supplied with every con venience, and can be perfectly ventilated. A large number of prominent and influential citizens of Lancaster assembled at the Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad to inspect these narrow-gauge cars, and all who saw them were convinced that every require ment had been met in their construction. The road for which they are intended is three feet gauge ; the same as the projected road from Sate Harbor to Reading. The locomotives built for the Deliver road at the Baldwin works, in Philadelphia, were noticed by us some days since. They have already been forwarded and the road will soon be in successful operation. We be lieve that the next live years will see very many narrow-gauge railroads built in the United States. SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION.—The Immanuel Union Sunday School of Brick ersville will hold its annual celebration on Saturday, August. 12th, at 1 o'clock P. M., at Samuel H. Miller's woods, near Brick ersville, where all friends of the Sunday School cause are respectfully invited to be present. Addresses will be delivered by Prof. John Beck, of Litlz, Rev. S.S. Engle, of the Immanuel Church of Brickersville, and others. Refreshments will be served for the benefit of the school. ANOTHER NARROW-GUAGE ROAD UNDER WAY.--The narro w-guage railroad between Media and Chester, is getting along finely. The subscription books were opened last week, and the stock is being rapidly taken. The feeling in favor of narrow.guage roads is beconding universal, and it is believed they will take the place of the ordinary tracks whenever local roads are built.

SUICIDE OF A WEALTHY FARMER.— On Saturday morning about 100 o'clock, Coroner Dysart received a telegram dated at the Junction of the Lancaster and bead ing Railroad. stating that John Hiestand, one of the wealthiest farmers of East Hemp field township had committed suicide. Be had been found a short time previous hanging by the neck, dead, in a corn-crib attached to his fine country residence near Salunga. The Coroner accompanied by Dr. E. Lane Schofield, at once left this city and visited the premises for the pur pose of holding an inquest on the re mains. Mr. Hiestand was one of the best known citizens in his neighborhood, about 70 years of age, married but childless, owned a very large amount of real estate and other property, and was highly re spected. The only causes we have yet heard assigned for his self-destruction, is that he had trouble about some property recently purchased, which had probably affected his mind and induced insanity. It is said, also, that he exhibited signs of in sanity several years ago, but had apparently entirely recovered. . _ . A FIRST-CLASS SEISSATION.—For a week or two past there have been rumors on the street of a mysterious birth and abandon ment of an infant child at the residenge of one of our oldest and most accompllthed nurses; but Re.was not until Monday last that an accoukt of theaffair, sufficiently at curate for pubfluation, came into oar pos session. It appears that on Thursday afternoon the 22a of June, there arrived in our city, by a Western train, a business-like elderly lady of sixty-odd years, accompanied by a good-looking, blue-eyed, light-complex lotted young woman of about 22. and stop ped at the Cadwell Rouse. The elder ly lady appears to have called upon Or. John L..Atlee, Sr., for his professionhl services for the daughter, as during the afternoon the doctor called at the residence of Mrs. Timmins, au estimable nurse, re siding at the corner of East. Vine and Rock land streets, and requested her to receive the young woman for accouchment, assur ing her that it was all right, and that she would be well paid for her services. Mrs. Timmins demurred, ou the ground id other pressing engagements, but was finally prevailed upon to receive the young I lady and her mother as guests, and in the evening about seven o'clock. they were conveyed from the Cadwell House to her residence in an omnibus. About five o'clock on- the following morn ing (Friday,) the young lady was delivered of a female child, Dr. Ade° being the at• tending physican. On the same afternoon, the old lady left for the purpose of going to Philadelphia, and was not heard trout until the following Monday evening, when she returned, and startled the honest old nurse by the announcement that she must at once return home, to Allegheny City, and take her daughter, who had been can a lined but three days, along with her! In vain the old nurse remonstrated. The mother said her daughter 771U,Nt go, even at the risk of her life; the only reason given being that there WAS sickness in the Ifamily, ( a grand-child, we believe, I ; requiring their immediate presence.— flow the young mother of a three-day old babe, wai to be of service in such a case was nu', explained; nor does it seem that her wishes in the matter were at all consulted, as she said she would much rather stay where she was. The scruples , of Mrs. Timmins were finally quieted by the assurance of the doctor, that both lie and she had done their duty, and that if anything went amiss, they would be blame less. That evening about hall past nine o'clock, the !anther and her sick daughter, who had not tip to that time, been out of her bed, left the residence of the nurse, in an omnibus, and took the ears Mr the • west, leaving behind them the infant child ! —since which time they have not been heard front ! The child was left with Mrs. Timmins without a stitch' of clothing ex- 1 copt one woolen petticoat and a muslin sli p. ' The kind-hearted nu roe at once at L to work to make it comfortable by purchasing with her OWII money, a necessary outtitol baby clothes—Dr. Attee saying that he would he responsible for all necessary expenses. Ist rs. Timmins Is In much distress about the matter When she took the strangers into her house on the urgent solicitation of Dr. Alice she had no doubt that the young lady was a married woman, whose trouble had come upon her unexpectedly while on a journey. All subsequent facts go to show that this is not the ease; and as Mrs. services are In almost constant req in I sltion "what will she do with DT' Is the question uppermost in her mind. Titus tar she has given It the greatest care, watch ing over It (lay and night, and attending to its every infant want. Each morning about sunrise she walks several squares for the ex press purpose 01 procuring for it fresh nail l. !ruin one particular young cow. Indeed, the little waif is worthy of all the attention bestowed upon it. There is not to day in Lancaster a more beautiful child. With fair skin, bright blue eyes, handsome tea• tures, and unusual strength, it looks older and better than many a child three times its ago. But whose is it? All the hotel register contains about it is the simple entry, "Mrs. :\ Idler and Daughter. Phil adelphia." All the old nurse knows is that the elderly lady called the young one 1" Ellen," and Ellen called the other "another." and that the elderly lady claim ! ed to have been waited upon When :do , was young by a distinguished relative of Dr. Atlee. That Mrs. Tinunins should have been deceived is not much to be wondered at, but it is remarkable that so shrewd and accomplished a gentleman es the doctor, should have been so badly "sold"—if, in deed, he was sold. The case is certainly a remarkable one, and has already been much talked about privately—quite a large number of ladies having called to see the " blessed baby," several of whom have expressed a Wil lingness to adopt it. Our young and vigorous Mayor and his active and energetic police force have now an opportunity of immortalizing themselves by unravelling the mystery surrounding this remarkable case, and bringing to justice the parties implica ted in it. Let them go to work with the I same zeal they did in the Deulinger amt other eases, and their fortunes are made. ATTEMPTED :111:11DElt.—The vicinify of Alderman Wiley's since was, on Wednes day last, the scene of an intense excitement, oetatsioned by an attempt on the part of Edward JacObs to murder Barbara Jacobs, alias Olmstead, whom he claims as his wife, and charges With inconstaney. She has been Mr several mouths past hired as an assistant in diopple's restaurant. Ja cobs is a well-known character, occupying a room in John Gorman's house, Nu. 411. East Orange street. fie has for years past been engaged in buying up and selling sec ond-hand furniture, old iron, rags, and all manner of second-hand wares. For three or four s ear, past, he and Barbara, except at inters ala s have been living together as man and wife, and Jacobs main tains that they were lawfully married.— The green-eyed monster, ealousy, has long haunted him, and he has kept a constant watch upon the movements of the woman, from Whom he has beets for some time sep arated, and he alleges that ho has detected her in snaking clandestine assignations with other men. ills jealousy Lt :+o prey ' ed upon him that tor some time past he has almost entirely neglected his business, and taken neither food nor sleep. On Tuesday before Alderman Wiley he lodged a com plaint of larceny against Barbara, charg ing her with having stolen a breast pin from bins, and it was in answer to t h is charge that the parties met in the magistrate's office on Wednesday afternoon about thrt e o'clock. The Alderman told Jacobs that if Barbara wag hie she could not commit larceny of his goods, and he .vould dismiss the suit. Barham denied being his wile, and denied stealidg the breastpin, which she said Jacob's had presented to her, and which she was per pectly willing to return to him. Jacob's told her there was but one way ill which the matter could be amicably settled; and that was for Ler to go with hinkto his room, and wash up the dishes. She said she was afraid if she went he would lock tier up and kill her. "Then von won't go with me," said Jacob's. " No," said she, " 1 am afraid to go." With a horrible oath Jacobs then pulled an old-fashioned brake barreled pistol from his pocket, and placed the muzzle against the woman's breast.. Constable Baker, MllO was in the office at the time, sprang forward and seized Ja cobs by the wrist and prevented him from shooting. A number of others came to the rescue, and after a rather violent struggle, Jacobs WA. disarmed. Complaint was at once made against him of assault and bat tery With intent GO kill. While the neces sary papers were being made out for his commitment, he with the ferocity of a tiger sprang upon the woman who had taken refuge in a back corner 'of rho office, and seizing her by the threat bore her to the floor and swore ho would strangle her. It required the united strength if a half difzun !Dell tO DM' ions away, is hills sites littaity done, and toe maniac secured.— Jacobs was then taken ii jail Lc Constable Baker. •dm his way up lie declared he would yet kill his wile, and was perfectly willing to hang liar it. It was his intention to have killed ron tier way to the Alder man's office, and fir that purpose had lay in wait Mr her at the corner of Duke and Orange streets. The charge of larceny was evidently trumped up against her for the sole purpose of getting her into his power that he might execute his vengeance.

A number of the people may be considered rather indiffer ent to religion, as is general in almost every cotnmuuity in this county. A 4NODLE TREE AND A GOOD SOOT.— There is now growing on the lawn of Col. Joel L. Lightner, near Paradise, an im mense Virginia poplar tree, which has grown from a twig fifteen inches in length, brought from Virginia in the year 1810 by Joel Lightner, Esq., father of the Colonel. The trunk of the tree is about 7 feet lu di ameter, while its branches cover an area of more than 100 feet in diameter. Many of the limbs wouid make good-sized saw loge, and it is estimated that if cut up the tree would yield about 15 cords.of wood.— The Colonel recently noticed that an over hanging branch of this Immense tree was injuring one of his beautiful evergreens. The offending bough was 95 feet from the ground, and a great distance from the trunk of the tree. Its removal seemedim practicable, but the Colonel was equal to the emergency. He loaded his ride, and shot the limb off with a bullet.: DRIIMORE ITEMS.—This section of the county is at present enjoying reasonably good health. Occasionally we hear of a cases of sick nesP, which, in a few instances, terminates in death. There are quite a number of cases of ague•reported, which is .uncommonly early for that very disagree able, though notdangerons disease to make its appearance among us. The farmers have all done harvesting, the wheat and the yield is much better than was expected. The wheat crop is an un usually large one; some farmers say that the grain is better than ever known before, and will produce a greater amoun t and bet ter quality of dour than former years.— They are now busily engaged in harvesting the oats, which is a great deal taller than we had dare to anticipate. The rains which fell about the commencement of hay-mak ing caused the oats to spring up as if touch el by the magician's wand, but there is a general complaint that the oats is poorly Oiled, and grain exceedingly light. The heavy storm of rain and wind on Sunday night, July IGib, prostrated the oats and gives time farmers much trouble gathering it in. Corn looks excellent in moat places, and makes a good appearance of being a bouu dad crop should there be sulliciencyol rain at caring time_ The corn is now tasseling, and it is to be hoped that no heavy storm will rise to injure it until It has matured.— In some localities corn is short, but gene rally the crop is good. Joseph Smith, iu ! Drumore, cud ijeorge Cully, in Martie, I have the brag corn; it, I believe, surpasses all others. • nere is great prospect of there being an excellent crop of that delicious esculent, potatoes; the early planted, which are be ing dug for table-use, aro large, plump and solid; and if the rot does not make its ap pearance, the ield will be sufficient for all reasonable demands. The bug has com menced :to ravages upon the vine, but I think it will not greatly injure tne root. The recent heavy rains bud greatly swol len the water in the river; some few ran passed through to tide; but it has again receded almost to its former low mark. M r. McFadden has sent a squad of labor ers to Peach Bottom and conithenced ope rations on the railroad at that polio, but it is so exceedingly hot in the vicinity of the slate quarries that few can stand the scorch ing rays of the situ, which reflects the most intense heat from the slate, but lithe pres ent cool weather coati noes, perhaps the workmen can do better.
