Pere L. Wickes, after a short session, adjourned the court yesterday morning, until 9 o'clock this morning, on account of the extreme heat. This was wise; and if our board of school control would adjourn our schools until the heated term was over, they would do a noble act. Children and teachers, penned up in rooms where the temperature averages from 100 to 106, are to be pitied. Over $2 000 Escheated to the State.

An inquisition was held on Sa urday in the court house at Reading, fore James N. Ermentrout, deputy escheater by appointment of the auditor general, in the matter of the estate of Franklin N. Livingood, deceased, a lunatic, late of the borough of Womelsdorf, who died some time since, without heirs or legal representatives, and leaving property which converted into cash, amounted to $2,147.10. Under the law of escheats, a jury of twenty-four citizens was summoned, who after hearing the testimony of witnesses as tothe facts found that the decedeat was without living heirs or legal representatives, and that therefore the money escheated- to Four Children Poisoned-One Case Proves Fatal. A sad case of poisoning took place on Sunday in Washington township, resulting in the death of Bertha, an interesting little daughter of D.

G. Deardorf, of Washington township, and the narrow escape of three other children. On Sunday afternoon two small daughters of Mr. Absolem Trimmer and Bertha Deardorf and her little brother, while in company with each other, eat some Jamestown weed seed, or thorn apple-seed. In a few hours the four children became very sick and exhibiting symptoms of spasms.

Dr Robert Meisenhelder, of East Berlin, was called and did all in his power for the relief of the sufferers and sueceeded in saving three of them. Bertha died 1 on Tuesday morning and her remains were interred at the Red Run church yesterday morning. Her age was 5 years, 11 months and 10 days. She was a niece of Mr. Oliver Deardorf, proprietor of the States Union Hotel, of York.

Upon the re-assembling of the court yesterday morning, Juage Wickes on the bench, quite an amount of current business was transacted. The list of surety of the peace and desertion case was resumed. John Bupp, was, as usual, before the court for a violation of the peace. The court held him in recognizance to keep the peace, and sentenced him to pay the costs of prosecution. Susan Siltzer prosecuted John Keagy for threatening to break her neck.

This seemed to be nothing more than a quarrel between the parties. The court dismissed the recognizance and directed each party to one half the costs. Emma Trusty charged John W. Handy with a violation of the peace. The court ordered him to give security to keep the peace, and pay the costs of prosecution.

Jno. W. Handy, charged George Me with threatening to kill him, by blowing out his brains. The court evidently did not believe that George made the threats, discharged the recognizance and sentenced the prosecutor to pay costa of proseention. James Jackson charged James Beisco with a violation of the peace and did not appear to prosecute.

The court discharged the recognizance and ordered the prosecutor to pay the costs. John Rank 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 t.is time, was again brought before the court under the same charge. After hearing the court renewed the same order and settenced him to pay the costs of prosecution. Court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. MARRIED.

If we do not have rain soon there will be a panic. Speculation in grain, tebacco and feed is running wild. The longer the drouth continues the worse it will be until widespread disaster will result. A good soaking rain extending over a wide stretch of the country would have a decinedly market. When marked men effect on the get to speculating on the strength of a drouth or a freshet, the longer it lasts the higher the excitement runs, until the speculators lose their heads and a panic ensues.

Although rain would do little towards increasing the crops now, it would 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 in a whirl of excitement caused by a combination of circumstances, and a week's good rain would break the combination, and relieve the pressure. The operations of the speculators are paralyzing legitimate business. Our millers cannot afford to pay the quoted prices for wheat and the farmers cannot to pay the prices for feed. The great bulk of the operations in the produce market is on paper merely.

Millions of bushels and tons are dealt in on "margias," without the handling of a grain of wheat or corn or an ounce of feed-stuff. But those who have product to sell on the spot on change demand and get the inflated speculative prices. It is all wrong, and a good rain would knock the 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, Clergymen who were obliged to withdraw from the pulpit on account of "Clergymen's Sore have recovered by using Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and are preaching again.

ONE CENT A load of gravel in season applied to the ruts and gullies, saves the necessity of two loads at the end of the year.Travel on a well made road does far less injury than the rain and 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 from 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, and in many cases 1 the tax is so heavy that it swallows all the profits. Good roads lessen cost of production; they cheapen the grocer'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. Keeping Roads in Repair. County Items, GLENVILLE, Sept.

RAIN IS WANTED. Rain is needed throughout our county. The farmers commenced to cut corn. The corn and potatoes are just about a half crop throughout our Valley. OCCASIONAL The Tobacco Situation.

outstanding was housed, growers declare that little or no good could be done to the most of it. As a rule it been seared and blighted by intense heat want of moisture, and can never be made valuable, even if it can be made serviceable, leaf. The planting was in the highest degree auspicious, abundant rain- fall accompanying weeks ago, it; there and was up to, perhaps. four a prospect raising one of the best as well as largest crops ever grown in Lancaster county. Then the drouth which has partially destroyed the Kentucky or Western crop set in and has continued ever since.

Our readers know what a magnificent agricultural region the county we are descibing is, field and forest there usually blooming like a garden. As we write, even the clover fields are burnt almost to a crisp, while grass, plants, grain, shrubs and trees are covered and choking with dust. Tobacco probably withstand more dry weather, than any product of the farm; neither it nor any other essentially watery plant can endure without serious injury a whole month of unbroken torrid sunshine, VALUE OF 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 much of it is late, as we have shown, and consequently choice lots may be few at harvest time. Nevertheless, we prothough 111 vain, against field or pol buying there and everywhere. this moment buying is still prosecuted rible wil heat vigor unabated only by the ter-14 and the desire for secresy. 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 CROP AND THE DROUTH. Indifferent health, terrible heat-100 in the shade-dusty roads and want of time prevented 11S from seeing as much of the crop still standing as we wished to do. Nevertheless, we are able to give for the benefit of our patrons a fair and account UL it as a whole. we should assert that one-half of the crop that was planted will be worth little or nothing to dealers or manufacturers, out statement might be thought an exaggeration.

Yet such is the opinion 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 had been cut when we commenced tour of observation, and we were informed that that portion was the most leafy and satisfactory. Cutting is being vigorously prosecuted, a8 these lines were written, at Columbia, Lancaster county. On what is in tie field the drouth has done its fatal work. It rain should now fall until all that is now "Willie we have missed you," but we are going to hear your Picolo Solo, at the concert to-night.

From a principle of humanity for our children, in which we know the Board of Control and citizens will sustain 118. We suggest that the schools be dismissed 10 day and Friday at 11 o'clock, A. and no session held in the afternoon, with the thermometer at 100 degrees, and 50 children in one room, it is inhuman. D.
