A WEATHER PBOPIJET.—A pleasant anecdote ,
told of Partridge, the celebrated almanac-maker. In
yelling on horseback into the country he stopped for his uhe
ner at an inn, and afterwards called for his horse that
•-0
might reach the next town, where he intended to slab
" If you would take my advice, Sir," said the ostler, 10
,re
was about to mount his horse, " you will st .y where you f;‘
for the night, as you will surely be overtaken by a pelt,,/, ;c,
rain." " Nonsense, nonsense," said the almanack-ruePoa
" there is sixpence for you, my honest fellow, and e're
afternoon to you." He proceeded on his journey, and B°A.
enough he was well drenched in a heavy shower. Ii•
ridge was struck with the man's prediction, and being "cg
ways intent on the interest of his almanack, he rode 19$
on the instant, and was received by the ostler with a b,rlg,
grin. " Well, Sir, you see I was right after all." "
my lad, you have been so, and here is a crown for you, 10
I give it to you on condition that you tell me how you kei;
of this rain." "To be sure, Sir," replied the man,

Partridge's -411nanack, and the fellow is such a netoriowi
liar, that whenever he promises us a fine day we alotl,
know that it will be the direct contrary. Now, your b

ADMI4IONS TO THE GLASS BUILDING.—SeIsa the respectable persons, who bad obtained admission into .-a
building by using exhibitors' and workmen's passes, foti-o
themselves, as might have been expected during the li/14
week, in the somewhat disagreeable position of the eustOy.',
of the police, and were conducted by them to the executl,
committee, the members of which, being di,posed to OK
leniently with their first offence, ordered them inmeediatei;
to leave the building. We understand that the most rignii.
ous measures will now be adopted to prevent the admies_.„/".
of any person who is not actually an exhibitor or person P"'
ployed iu the building.

conversation. Clingman sprang over the desk at Stanley spoa
