A. ElSENHART. Keeping Eos da in Eepir A load of gravel iu season applied to the ruts and gullies, saves the necessity of two loads at tho end of the year. Travel on a well made road does far less injury than the rain antl frosts. If the inequalities are immediately remedied, travel rather helps than hinders road making.

Every one prefers the well beaten track to a new road. It is quite possible to distribute the repairs so evenly through the year, that the road bed may be always in good condition The loss to the farming community trom bad roads is enormous. It is one of the heaviest taxes they have to pay. It is laid on every article that goes from the market, mid in many cases the tax is bo heavy that it swallows all the profits, flood roads lessen tho cost of production; they cheapen I do groc ii's bill, the miller's bill, and especially the cost of fertilizers, which are the secret of economical farming in the older states. Work the roads to-day, and save money.

Under tho law of escheats, a jury of twenty-four citi-zens was summoned, who after hearing tho teiiimony of witnesses as tot he facts found that the decedeat was without living heirs tir legal represent. uive.t, and that therefore the money escheated to the commonwealth.

If we do not have rain soon there will be a panic. Speculation in graiu, tebac-co and feed is runuing wild. The longer the drouth continues the worse it will be until widespread disaster will result. A gootl soaking rain extending over a wide stretch of the country woull have a decidedly marked effect on the produce market. When men get to speculating on the strength of a drouth or a freshet, the longer it lasts the higher the excitement runs, until tho speculators lose their heads and a panic ensues.

Although, ram would do littlo towards increasing the crops now, it wou'd break the spell in which the speculative movement has its hold, and give the bulls and bears a chance to cool their feverish brains and allow the markets to sink to their legitimate levels. The whole country is iu a whirl of excitement caused by a combination of circumstances, and a weed's good rain would break the combination, and relieve the pressure. The operations ot the speculators are paralyzing legitimate business. Our millers (annot afford to pay the quotod prices for who at and the farmers cannot afford to pay tho prices for feed. The great bulk of tho iu the produce market is on paper merely.

Millions of bushels and tons a ro dealt iu on "margius," without the hiiiidliug of a grain of wheat or com or an ounce of feed-stuff. But those who have product to sell oa the spjt on change demand niid get the inflated speculative prices. It is all rong, and a good laiu would knock tho bottom out of the speculative movement. Farmers may make up their minds to higher prices for corn and feed for the next year than have been current for the past two or three years but all the same they would be relieved by a week's rain. Many Clergvmeu who were obliged to withdraw lroui the pulpit on account of Clergyiseu's Sore Throat," have recovered by using Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypophosphitcs and are preaching again.

Occasional The Tkbooo Situation. Mr. E. A. Burke, one of the editors of the Tobacco Leaf, visited this part of Pennsylvania, and wrote a long article which is published in the Leaf, from which we make following extracts: THE CHOP AND THE DROUTH.

Indifferent health, terrible heat 100 in the shade dusty roads and waut of time prevented us from seeing as much of tho crop still standing as we wished to do. Nevertheless, we are able to give for the benefit of our patrons a fair and IfllUOlO CMHAmiltr It 1M lt llt', 11 ttt) should assert that one-half of the crop ihat was planted will be worth little or nothing to dealers or manufacturers, oui statement might be thought au exaggeration. Yet such is the opinion of the growers, dealers and manufacturers familiar with its condition; and in this opinion we are inclined to concur so far as our knowledge extends. All early tobacco hat! been cut when we commenced our tour of observation, and we were informed that that portion was the most leafy and satisfactory. Cutting is being vigorously prosecuted, as these lines were written, at Columbia, Lancaster countv.

On what is in le Held the drouth has done its fatal work. It rain should now fall until all that is now outstandingwas housed, growers declare that little or no good could be done to the most of it. As a rule it bas been seared and blighted hy intense heat and want of moisture, and cau never be made valuable, even if it oan bo made serviceable, leaf. The planting was in the highest degree auspicious, abundant rain-fall accompanying it; and up to, perhaps, lour weeks ago, there was a prospect of raising one of the best as well as largest crops ever grown in Lancaster county. Then the drouth whieli has partially destroyed the Kentucky or Western crop set in and has continued ever since.

Our readers know what a magnltleeut agricultural region the county we are describing is, field and lorest there usually blooming like a garden. As we write, even the clover lields are burnt almost to a crisp, while grass, plants, grain, shrubs and trees are covered and choking with dust. Tobacco cau probably withstand more dry weather than any product of: tho farm; but neither it nor any other essentially watery plant can endure without serious injury a whole mouth of unbroken torrid simsLino, VALUH OP THE 1880 CROP. Good 1880 tobacco of all varieties has been made a precious commodity by reason of the existing conditions, and prices thereto are likely to rapidly advance. The movement in favor of the 1881 crop is likely now to extend to Connecticut.

The growth is mainly good there, as our reports testify, but mii.li of it is late, as we have shown, aim consequently choice lots may Ik? few iifennrvest time. Nevertheless, we though in vain, against field or pobuying there and everywhere.

Court Upon the of the court yesterday morning, Juugo Wickcs on the bench, quite an amount of current business was trausactetl. The lift of surety of the peace aud desertion case was resumed.

John Bupp, was, as usual, before the court for a violation of the peace. The court held him in recoguizanee to keep i he peace, and sentenced him to p.iy the costs of prosoctitioa. Sus.iu Sillzer prosecuted John Keagy for threatening to break her neck. This seemed to be nothing more than a quarrel between the patties. The coait dismissed recognizance and directe each party to one half the costs.

Emma Trusty charged John W. Handy with a violation of the eace. The court ordered him to give security to keep the peace, and pay the costs of prosocution. no. Handy, charged George Mc till with threatening to kill him, by blowing out his brains.

The court evidently did not believe that George made the the recognizance and sentenced the prosecutor to nnv costs of prosecution. James Jackson charged James Brisco with a violation of the peace and did not appear to prosecute.The court discharged thejrecoguizance and ordered the prosecutor to pay the costs. John Runs; who was charged by his wife with desertion and sentenced to pay her 1 per week which he has neglected or refused to do up to lime, was again brought before the court under the same charge. After hearing the court renewed the same order and sentenced hun to pay tho costs of prosecution. Court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning.
