INTERESTING METEOROLOGICAL. OBsERvA-
| T1oN.-Between the years 1907 and 1859,
says the Boston Adoertiser meteorological
records We're made great regularly by the
late Professor Parker Cleaveland, of Bow
dcin College, and after his death were given
in charge of the Smithsonian Institute for
| reduction and publication. They were
placed in the hands of Mr. Charles A. Scott,
who has deduced from them certain results
| and conclusions which have just been pub
lished, and are of an interesting character
Brunswick is on the Androscoggin river,
about twenty-five miles northeast of Port
land. The ground around Professor Cleve-
lands residence is very nearly seventy four
feet above Ligh water mark. The observa-
tions were made three times day, at the
hours of a. m, p. m. and 6 p. M.
On the average of SO years of observation
the hottest day falls on July 22 or 81 days
after observation of the summer soistice, tenn
perature 81 degrees 7. The coolest day falls
on January IS, or % days after the winter
solstice, temperature 19 degrees Fahr. The
days when the average annual temperature
is reached are April 20 and October 24.-
From the observations of ten years ending
in 1917, the total range of temperature is
very considerale-nOt less than 132 degrees
Fair. The lowest is temperature recorded
is 80 degrees, and the highest 1O2 degrees.
The number of storms with thnnder and
lightning recorded during SO years is 472, or
nearly 9 year. The maximum number oc-
ours in the warmest month in February
none occurred, The total number of fogs in
81 years is 1,135. July is the only month

A Docs FIDELITY A gentleman be-

ADoe's FIDELITY gentleman be-
longing to the staffat the Royal Victoria
Hospital at Netley took long walk in
the neighborhood of Southampton re-
GENTLY, accompanied by his dog, fine
Newfoundlander. In the evening he
missed some letters from his coat pocket
and his dog. The latter did not surprise
him, as his dog often wandered from
him in his walks. The next day the
gentleman felt annoyed and puzzled
at the loss ofhis letters, and he thought
it possible he might have drawn them
out ofhis pocket with his handkerchief
during his previous days walk. He
resolved, therefore, to repeat the walk;
for he might have dropped the letters in
an untrequented path, and they night be
there still. About four miles from the
hospital he came suddenly upon his dog
lying upon the ground, with the lettars
close by. The dog must have laid by
the letters for sixteen hours, including
the whole night. The animal has been
rechristcned "Postmaster General"
An artist has sketched the Postmaster
General guardian the letters.

HON, HANNIBAL HANLN ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATION.

At the Republican convention for Pe-
nobscot county, Maine, in Bangor on the
22d inst. ex Vice President Hamlin
being called upon, made 4 short address,
of which the Bangor Wig gives the
following synopsis:
He thought the present was time for
action rather than words. The words
that are used, if aEy, should be short,
sharp, and decisive. There was no hour
during the war of the rebellion when
there was greater responsibility placed
upon us than rests upon US to day. We
are not out of our trials or our dangers.
Unfortunately in some respects, but
fortunately in others, we have national
Executive who seems bent upon
thwarting the national will and prevent
ing proper and just Reconstruction.
Reconstruction should aeyer be compile
ted except upon the fullest basis of
popular justice and liberty; and it is
our bounden duty to see to it that no
settlement shall be made upon any other
basis. Neither can we do it. Rough hew
them as we may, there is an over-ruling
Providence that will shape our ends.
1Ir. Hamlin proceeded to examine the
acts of President Johnson, and declared
that his usurpations and wrongs have
opened the eyes of the blind and un-
stopped the ears of the deaf, to see and
hear what is true, and right, and just.
Mr. Johnson's acts and policy were ne
cessary to educate the public mind up
to the right point; and he was fully
impressed that the people will have all
these things settled on the right and
proper basis.
AVALuABLE INvENTIoN.-We notice
that Mr.. Henry G. Hall, of ofFayetteville,
N. c., has perfected an invention which
is no doubt valuable in Cotton Fac
tories. Mr.. Hall is Superintendent of
his fathers Factory on Bever creek,
near Fayetteville. The Fayetteville
Neaos, whose Editor recently visited the
Factory; gives the following notice OF
the new invention:
"Our readers must permit US here to
make mention Of Mr.. II. G. Halls in
vention, the SelfAdjustable Ring for
the Spinning Frames. Great difficulty
Ht9 liGlClGo oCCu OAICiiChNCu ny OPCl-
atives, in spinning cotton, to run the
spindles smoothly and uniformly, and
prevent breakage. waste and loss oftime.
Too great tension or slackness in the
thread caused uneven places in the yarn,
which constantly snapped and had to
be started again. Mr.. Halls invention
obviates all these difficulties and COM
bines increased celerity with durability
and completeness. His patent will
allow 10000 revolutions per minute to
be made, and at the same time requires
for the same amount of work so per
cent. less of help. While in the spinning
room we saw Mr. Halls patent ring
being worked on one of the frames, and
were informed that during the day the
thread had broken but once, while with
the others the breakage was much
greater. 1t consists of two eccentric
metallic rings, which revolving together,
throw the spindles concentric on the
frame"
