PRor. SHAW sends us the following for
August. Some are saying his prediction
for July was an lawful failure" We so
seldom notice weather, prophecies that We
don't know anything about the weather
only as it comes along, but persons who
read Mr.. Shaw, should rccollect that he is
not "making weather for each school
district in the country his calculations
arc for general use in this latitude and
longitude. We are told by those who
observe closely that when the whole coun-
try is taken into consideration, Mr.. Shaw
has shit it, well
The month comes in fair and settled, and
probably hot a change takes place near
the 9th, and more cool, with showers
expect through the middle of the month
large rocky cumuli clouds with thunder in
places, followed 10y unsettled weather.
Towards the end fair and settled weather
sets in, and sometimes brilliant skies, and
so continues with a few slight intermis-
sions until about the Goth of September
then, for the remainder of that month it
will become dull and cloudy, with high
winds and driving rains, occasionally.
High winds or rain may be looked for
about the 9th, 18th, 10th, 22d and 18th

METEoRs.
Look out for the meteors {shooting
stars) on the 10th of August, at about 6
o'clock p. NJ. Meteors are numerous col
l~ections of small bodies which revolve
round the sun in elongated orbits. like the
comets, and become suddenly visible, un.
der favorable circumstances, on a near
| approach to the Earth. The Earth usu.
ally comes into the neighborhood of two
principal groups of these bodies in the
months of August and September. The
descending nodes of the orbits of the
August and November metcors lie in two
localities near to the Earth's orbit, and
when the Earth reaches these points, thu
sun, being in the opposite points o
the Heavens, will have the same longitudcs
as the ascending nodes of the orbits of thu
mcteors.

Weather, SC.

Weather., sc.
Still among the COS in the shade
Nights cool and most part ofthe last three
or four days good for harvesting. Hands
are pouring into the country by every
steamer that comes mp, and with the con-
tinuance of clear weather farmers hope to
secure their crops. Wheat, oats and bar
ley seem to have ripened nearly all on one
day; this accounts for the rush Of work
and the high price paid for hands. Grain
will be lighter than was anticipated, owing
to the hurry of its ripening period, the
berry not having had weather to mature be-
fore it got ready for the reaper; but the crop
will be a good one if nothing betides it
between the field and barn. 1t is thought
new wheat will open at $3.50 or less, but
no one knows except to guess.
Our markets are not quotable during
this harvest. But few teams in town and
business very quiet.

A CAED.-The Sunday School of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of McGregor,
Iowa, would express to the Captain and
employees of the ferry, City of McGrcgor
and also to Mr.. Swarthout and Mr.. Wilson
and others in charge of the special excur-
sion trains, their high appreciation Of
their great kindness in furnishing them
gratuitously their boat and special train to
and from the picnic grounds on Wednes-
day, the 22d inst, and for their efforts to
secure the comfort and safety of their
guests.
We, the junior, in company with
friends, had the pleasure Of joining the
party in the festivities on the grounds.
The OCCASION seemed to be ono of general
enjoyment, as it should be. All the little
people were happy and the older ones
equally so in their success in providing for
the enjoyment. A ride on steamerand rail
road is not an every day thing with chill
dren, which added to a ramble through the
groves with all the delicacies prepared by
loving parents and earnest friends is evil
IDENTIFY enough to make up a cup full of
enjoyment. We are indebted to too many
members of the party to name them here.
They viii all accept u earnest thanks.
