PredIctions nbout the Winter.

AS usual, the press throughout the country is
rrophesying CONCERNING the approaching winter.
The opinion prevails that the season will be
usually severe, and appears to be predicted wholly
upon the early flight of birds in many localities to
. the southwark. 1t is stated that European m lte-
crologsts are predicting early and hard win
ter this year, for the that the birds OF pas
sage have begun their mgratious southwark at
least month earlier than usual. Storks, wild
ducks and other birds are reported to be passing
southwark over France and Belgium in large num-
bers, at period much earlier than usual.

Three Hdndre Cords of Wood Burned


On Monday afternoon last, about three hundred
cords of wood piled along the railroad track, al
the lower end of townI were entirely consumed by
fire. Fire was communicated to the wood shortly
before ~ o'clock, by passing train, and before
the flames were discovered, the high southerly
wind that prevailed had given them such head
way that their arrest was impossible. A number
of dwellings and stables in the immediate vicinity
were greatly endangered, and it fequired the
closest watehfulness, on the part of those inter
ested to ward off the fierce element. The heat
was so intense as to prevent close approach, and
the destroyer had things pretty much its own way,
only subsiding and dying out when there was moth
ing more to burn. We learn that fences have been
consumed in several places between hero and To-
edo. The dry weather has rendered all eombus-
BILE material as inaamInable as tinder.

Presbytery of sfaumee.

This body held its semi-ahnual session at Gill
ead October Is. On the subject of union with the
New School branch Of the Presbyterian Church,
the following was adopted.
l. For the more efficient carrying forward of the
Kingdom OF Christ in our country, deem IL of
great importance that the two branches Of the Pres
byteran Church should be united, and therefore
we sincerely desire that the Old ah1 New School
might become one.
9. In order to a, peaceful, successful and salts
factory union, basis on which both can agree is
absolutely necessary.
3. The proposed terms of union are deemed nm
satisfactory in the toll, wing particulars;
First, they fail to set forth what tn historical
of the doctrines in dispute really is
Second, the gov rnment and discipline of the
Presbyterian Church are merely approved but not
adopted.
Third, in admitting Churches which are not
PRESBYTERIAN.
Fourth, in only ddeising the churches so ad-
mitted TO become Presbyterian.
Fifth, they admit unordaiued men fntu all Church
Courts below the General Assembly.
Sixth, books published are to be judged, not by
the standards of the Church, but by the opinions
Of a committee
Seventh, Theological Seminaries NAV reject the
control of the General Assembly, or remain inde-
pendent:
Eighth, the lower Courts are only recommended
to conform their practice to the general custom of
the Church.
Ninth the terms omit Tire decision of the aues-
tion, whether the Genaral Assembly is the 6ua
Arbiter of controversies in the Church or whether
the Presbyteries are the fountains of power, and
may, therefore, disregard the injunctiOns Of the
General Assembly without censure or blame.

We should answer, we should tell you,
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker;
From the landlord, ON the carrier,
From the man who taxes letters
With stamp from uncle Samuel '
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes Il message,
Message kind but FIRMLY spoken,
Please TO pay us what you owe u.s."
Sad it is to hear such message,
When your funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left us,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay the paper-maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone to pay the busy carriers,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay old Uncle Samuel =
Uncle SIM the rowdies call him
Gone to pay the Western paper
Three and twenty hundred dollars!
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger, .'-1
Turn and see what sums are due us;
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years OF pleasant reading,
Due for years Of toisome labor,
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite oUr constant duniing,
Due in sums from one to twenty.
Would you lift burden from US
Would you drive spectre from you l.?
Would you t,ste pleasant slumber?
Would you have quiet conscience
Would you read paper paid Jorp
