Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, August 3. Hundreds of tons of cut grass last week spoiled In the fields of Susquehanna county. The great fall of rain was preceded by a protracted draught. Truly the farmer's lot Is not a happy one. Some years ago, so the legend runs, all this section was visited by an unexampled drought, and vegetation was withering beneath the blistering sun. A Jackson township deacon was a 11 rm believer in the efllcacy of prayer for all things needed. He assembled his neighbors and prayed all nght for rain. On the following day the rains descended and they continued to descend for ten days, nnd the floods washed away fields of corn and waving grain. It was worse than the drought. A neighbor met the deacon in the highway and asked him what he thought about prayer as a weather regulator. "Well," replied the good man, "all I have got to say Is, that the Lord Is always overdoing everything!" A GOOD SUGGESTION. It Is proposed to get up' a birthday testimonial to Mrs. Annie Wlttenmyer, the "soldier's friend," who will soon reach her seventieth year. Mrs. Wlt tenmyer Is a past national president of the Woman's Relief corps, nnd Is prominent as a worker In the ranks of the order, and ns a writer. She did herolo service during tho war In re lieving the sufferings of the sick and wounded soldiers, and even exposed herself In tho front of battle in saving life. President Lincoln was her strong supporter. Secretary Stanton nfforded her every facility for carrying on her work, and she had the support of the generals in tho field. General Grant nnd Mrs. Grant were her friends and co-workers, and Mrs. Grant wrote the. Introduction to her book, "Under the Guns," testifying that even up to the present time she does good work in aiding the soldiers and their needy families and in securing pensions. It is proposed to lift a mortgage upon her home, and the Women's Belief corps of the state is working to that end. Moody corps, of Susquehanna, has al ready contributed $50 to the fund. WHOLLY UNPREMEDITATED. A Susquehanna man gives as a cure for hay fever the smoking of pine needles with tobacco. It is said that many men catch the hay fever by keep ing steady company with a grass widow. A Montrose man wrote a communi cation to an editor, calling him nn ass, and then signed It "Yours frater nally." Three weeks after marriage, discov ering that his wife had a glass eye, a Starrucca man fled to tho Klondike gold fields. Ho says a glass eye Is a hoodoo. Two Deposit young men have start ed for Alaska. Their entire capital consists of pluck and cheek. Farmers will be interested to learn that a wash of prusslc acid and blue vltrol will annihilate the new style squash bug. Of course It will kill the vine also but It's the bug that we're after. Begards to tho Harford Far mer's club. Great Bend Is the possessor of a man who keeps himself supplied with newspapers by writing a postal card to some prominent paper, asking for a sample copy, THE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL.

At the county court last week tho grand jury, In the case of Michael Delpapa, the Elmlra padrone, who was accused of conspiring against sun dry Susquehanna Italians, ignored the bill and saddled the costs upon the county.

In Hallstead,, on Sunday afternoon, Kenneth Barrlger, a well-known nnd esteemed young man, attempted sui cide in his father's barn, by hanging and cutting the arteries of one of his wrists. He constructed a gallows, but it did not work to suit him, and he tried cutting his wrists. When the crimson tide commenced to flow, he regretted his rash act, endeavored to staunch the blood and at once went to his home, when medical aid was summoned none too soon. The young man will probably reebver. A love affair Is said to be at the bottom of the unfortunate nffalr. SOME COUNTY GLIMPSES. The Democratic county convention will meet today In Montrose.

It was shown that tho show man was not amendable to a state law requiring a county license and he was dlsoharged. And Bostwlck sadly followed a wagon track to tho altltu dlnous summer resort. THE CONSTITUTION ONCE MORE. In February last, A. Wolff, erst while of Carbondale, a dealer In bric-a-brac, opened a store in Susquehanna. The borough authorities demanded that he take out a borough license, which he refused to do, whereupon he wbb nrrested, and gave ball for his appearance before the county court. At the argument court, held last week, In Montrose, Judge Searle rendered an opinion discharging the defendant, for the reason that the act of assembly and borough ordlnnnce, under which he was nrrested, were unconstitutional and void.

AMERICA'S PROVISION TRADE. England Gets tho I.nrgcst Share ol Food Supplies Exported Hence. The exports of Amerlcon hams amounted last year, says the Sun, to 130,000,000 pounds, valued at $12,000, 000, and 103,000,000 pounds of this total were sent to Great Britain. The other countries with which there was con siderable trade In American hams were Canada, Cuba and Belgium. The ex ports of bacon to Europe last year amounted to 423,000,000 pounds, of the value of $33,000,000. More than three quarters of the product was sent to the United Kingdom, and among other countries. Brazil took an Important palce, with Imports from this country of 20,000,000 pounds, Germany following with S.000,000, Canada with 7,000,000, Cuba with 6,000,000, and France with 4,000,000. The exportation of lard Is still an other Important Item of American commerce, amounting last year to 510, 000,000 pounds, of the value of $34,000, 000. In the consumption of this ar ticle of American export the suprem acy of the United Kingdom Is less marked than In ham and bacon, for, although 200,000,000 pounds, about 40 per cent, of the total went to England. Germany was a consumer to the ex tent of 120,000,000 or nearly 25 per cent, of the total. France followed with 32,000,000. Cuba with 20,000,000, arid Brazil with 13,000,000 pounds. In this particular Item of exports, as in other items, Cuba as a market for American produce has lost Its Importance since the outbreak of the Cuban war, and furnishes each month a steadily di minished market. The exportation of fresh beef amounted laBt year to 225,000,000 pounds, of the value of $19,000,000, and substantially all of this, except an In finitesimal portion sent to the West Indies, was taken by Great Britain. In the exportation of salted beef from the United States to foreign countries one-half only was sent to the United Kingdom, the balance being distrib uted among West Indian islands, Ger many, Canada, and South American countries, the amount exported to Cuba amounting to less than 51,500 worth in a year. A very large market for American tallow, the exportation of which In creased enormously last year, was found in France, to which 8,600,000 pounds were sent. Germany took 6, 700,000 pounds, the Central American states 3,000,000, the West Indian is lands, exclusive of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Haytl, 1,250,000, and Mexico 1,800, 000, The, United Kingdom, at the hear of tho list in tallow as In other articles of product in the provision trade, took 18,000,000 pounds, or about 40 per cent, of the total American exportation. More than two-thirds of the exports of American canned produce of meats and provisions were taken by Great Britain 40,000,000 pounds of tho 60,000, 000 pounds oxported, Germany took 7,500,000 pounds, Franco 6,400,000, and Africa 3,600,000 pounds were sent to Canada, and 700,000 pounds to Asia and Oceanlca, being the article of Ameri can commerco which, it would seem, Is most widely diffused among the countries of the earth, There Is, prac tically, no exportation of American mutton and very little of fresh pork. The American exportation of canned salmon amounted laBt year to 32,000,000 pounds and the American exportation of oystera, amounts to about $600,000 a year. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review.
