Mr.. Gano called the attention Of the Board 10
the fact that Mr.. Lakenan has lot on the river
at the only point where the railroad can ap

city should have that lot. Mr.. Lakenan offered
it dot block p very reasonably-viz: for
$1,000; $500 in three years, the balance in tvo
years.
On motion the Committee OF Finance were
authorized to enter into negotiations with Mr..
Lakenan for the purchase Of the lot.
Mr.. Settles wished TO have Mr.. +. A. Lock-

Mr.. Westfull thought that might be postponed
till next Monday.
Mr.. Settles said it had been postponed sever

Mr.. Richards and Mayor Selmes were moi

Animals often instinctly know when
it will rain. We read in the doings
of the late scientific convention at
cleveland, that the Hileces Solitaria
and Zeleta, a few days before rain,
crawl to the most exposed hillside,
where, if they arrive before the rain
decends, they seek some crevice in the
rocks, and then close the aperture of
the shell with glutinous substance,
which, when the rain approaches, they
dissolve, and are then seen crawling
about. We can also foretell change
Of weather by wasps and other insess.

Instructor in all the Arts and Scien-

per until 1765, when it passed neces-
sarily into several other hands, and
finally expired in 1904, in the 10th
year of its age. The paper changed
much in all these years, in size, pa
per, and editorials. Its size, at first,
was that of an eight by ten. The pa
per was thin, yellowish, and coarse.
Its price was ten dollars year,
and in matter there was little variety.
Tales, poems, fables, with little for
eign news, several months old, were
ali it could set forth. The advertise
ments now seem odd and out of date,
and no one could find the places to
which they refer. Persons leaving
