The alarm brought out the fire depart-

guished. The building was occupied by

stock and mac inery of about $600
value. These were totally destroyed.

charred. It was insured for $800. The
insurance has only been partially adjus‘
ted. It has not yet been decided
whether torebuild the barn or erect a”
dwelling in its place. ‘

A pleasant feature of
the entertainment Will be “the social
quart .of an hour" between the first
andé’ESond acts. It is the custom in
__Eu pe, at the end of each act, for the
ladies and gentlemen to. rise from their
seats, and visit their friends *who may
attend the performance. Some stroll in-
to the streets, others adjourn to the
foyer, while many interchange places
for an act or so. This general move-
ment obviates the tedium con uent
upon ladies being obliged to remain in
their seats during the entire evening.
Mr. George Clarke deserves well of our
public, and the “social quarter of an
our“ he now introduces will are
popular. Those who have not secured
reserved seats had better do so at once.

Mr. Scyinour‘u‘ Seedlings.
The heavy rainfall during the past
eight months. the largest for the same
period for fourteen years. promises ex-
ceptionally large crops in this section of
the state. Grass. grain. vegetables and
fruits are all looking well. and the (hay
and grain crops the best in many years.
The evidence of the great benefit .of‘ the
copious rains can be seen in the nursery
of Mr. Geo. Seymour in this city. where
the “Henderson Strawberry.“ (the best
yet produced) has grown to an enormous
size, and of excellent flavor. This ber-
ry bids fair to become the standard for
home cultivation. as it is always a good
bearer. and needs but. little or no sugar
with it when eaten. Mr. Seymour also
has large quantities of the new cherry
ciirrant. which will be ready for
transplanting early in the fall. This cur-
raut is by far the best et produced. and
his celery plants are 0 the most thrifty
character. Mr. Seymour is growing a
new tomato, which promises great
things in size and flavor, and a new pc-
tate, the earliest vet produced, having
dug some of them on the 0th of this
month of good size and fine quality.

End of the Georgetown Strike.
This week thirt «eight of the striking
employees of the (georgetown wire works
have made application to be re~employ-
ed, and about half of them have been
given work. The company has made
no concessions, the men going in for the
same wages they were getting before
the strike, and “funconditionally. One
man has stated in this city that when he
went out he was getting $15.00 a week
and his son $19. When asked why he
struck he said onl because 'he Was or-
dered to do so. e was satisfied with
his pay, but obeyed the orders of the
Knights of Labor committee.

weeks, and at great loss: it is hardly
probable that these men will again be
made the dupes of the man in this city‘
whose chief ocou tion is to stir u
strife between satisfied employees an
