weather Predictions for Noyenber

Frosty near the beginning, followed by
snow or slcet, attimes in some parts, which
prevails for some days. Again, showers
of snow or rain about the 18th, then damp
| and foggy for short while-very cold at
or near the end of the month. High
winds, snow or rain, more or less may be
looked for near the End, 7th, 18th, 10Th,
9th and probably the 3Oth.
We are now on the eve Of winter. This
is the season Of rcrose for the vegetable
world, and those who are concerned in
forwarding the works of nature can do
but little at this period. But the snow,
however cold it may appear, is warm
covering for those plants which dying
down in autumn, shoot out into life and
beauty in the spring. TO an active mind,
nature always presents abundant food for
curiosity. and every inquiry makes the
observer more minutely acquainted with
the wonderful provisions of the Provi-
dence that doth nothing in vain.
1t is generally supposed, that from an
unusual Inconsistency of the weather, and
perpetual changes Of the wind from Eass
to West, proceed epidemical dysenteries-
''Behold, the shifting seasons take their turns.
First blooms the spring, then sultry summer
burns,
Autumn succeeds with loaded plenty crown'd,
And torpid winter lags his lazy round:
The silver moon rseth from her night
And fills her horns afresh with borrow'd LIGHT:

Another ease Of scandal and horror has
come to light in Connecticut. This time the
parties are residents Of tn: little country
town Of Glastonbury, a few miles from
Hartford. a man, who stands high in
the church, formed an intimacy with
young woman, and to further his designs,
induced her to take up her residence in
his house, and also to join herself in men,
bership to the same church. With the
girl thus under his influence, the intimacy
soon became criminal, the consequences
promised to reveal his crime. and medical
aid was called in. The result was, as too
commonly, fatal, the poor girl dying on
Monday Of last week. Her dead body
lay in the house of the man who had
wrought her ruin and death, until We'd
nesday, without his informing her rela--
tiyes, who lived in the same town. The
sedueer is now probably in the hands of
the law, it is TO lie hoped tnat justice
will strike more severely than in the re-
cent case OF the ;.bortionist at Hartford.

a DREADFUL DIsAsTER.-A few evenings
since, says the n. o. Picayuue, couple of
lovers sought the sequestered walls of
Jackson Square to indulge in one Of thoss
inexpressiby delightful conversations that
lovers can only appreciate. Arm in arm,
their heads slightly bent, the oblivious
couple were bent upon nothing but the
sweet commune of ''souls with but single
heart that beats as one,' when suddenly
the lady screamed fearlully, turned ''pale
as DEATH" and trembled violently.
"My goodness, what is the matter?"
"Save me! save me!'' cried the lady.
"From what?" inquired the excited
lover, while number of ladies and gem
lemen, also walking in the square, and at
traeted by the young lady's agitation,
crowded eagerly around.
"Yes, yes" they all exclaimed, "what
is the matter?'
''Tell me, dear!r softly whispered
benevolent looking lady.

around and whispered in her ear softly

PURsr1r or KIDD, THE MuRDrrER,-
The readers Of the HeraN have already
been made familiar with the particulars of
the murder of Catharinc Jordan, by VIM.

also of his capture and suicide while en-
route for Wisconsin. The following par.

Winship took his trail. and has followed

avoid the lashings Of his guilty and start

he engaged in trapping with man named

They are such as are made up of two parts
OF equal shapes. Look carefully at these,
and you will preceive that the upper halves
Of the characters are re1y little smaller
than the lower halyes-so little that an or
dinary eye will declare them to be Of equal
size. Now turn the page upside down,
and without any careful looking, you will
see that this difference in size is very much
exaggerated-tha the real top half Of the
letter is very much smaller than the bot
tom half. 1t will be seen from this that
there is IA tendency in the eye to enlarge
the upper part of any object upon which
it looks. We might draw two circles Of
unequal size, and 50 place them that they

He gave brief history of his long pastor
ate, which commenced in Salisbury in the
autumn of 1928 In 1892 he was settled
over the First Baptist Society, when the
denomination of New Hampshire was
very poor in resources and small in num-
bers. A secular paper then called them
''the poor despised Baptists.' The only
society of that denomination in Concord
then had an average attendance Of about
$50 persons, quite a number Of whom
came in from neighboring towns They
wanted Deacon, but had not in Concord

people Of Bow let them have james Will

EAGLE CENTS. - The st. Johusbury
Caledonian lays before its readers an ac-
count of an amusing sell as follows
Considerable amusement has been en-
ioyed by practical joke perpetrated on
Railroad street few days ago, The first
scene, as we hear it, was enacted in well
known clothing store and was begun by
one of the business men of the street re-
marking to the proprietor about the high
premium on the first issue OF the nickle
pennies-known as eagle cents. The man
addressed asked what they were worth
now, and the reply was about quarter
of dollar apiece The first speaker ex-
hibited four, which he said he would sell
for half dollar A well known specu-
lator in produce, who, up to this time had
been silent but attentive listener to the
conversation, stepped up and said he
would take them OF so cents, remarking
that he might as well speculate in eagle
cents as beans. He afterwards left this
store, evidently with new thought, and
passing to a store across the street, in
quired of the proprietor If he had any
eagle cents. The reply being affirmative
he was asked what he would take for
them. Not knowing that there was an
unusual value put upon this issue of the
nickles, and being a genuine Yankee, the
reply was "What will you give Y The
answer being I.inepence apiece, Sl3.1s
soon exchanged hands, evidently as much
to the surprise of the storekeeper as to the
delight Of the Spectator. Another store
was visited. and 70 more eagle cents were
obtained by the speculator at his own
price, 12t cents each. From this last
place, the shops on Main street were Wis
