WEaTuER NISnOrE.

The weather-wise people are predicting
q severe winter. Even so dignified
journal as the Bulletin dAsSocidtio1
ScientifqNe, of France, ventures to in
dulge in prophecy, and announces that
''the winter of IS69-70 will be excep-
tionally severe in the eastern hemisphere. ?
The data are not very definite OF clear to
one outside of the meteorological circles,
but the inside wise men talk with much
show of sagacity of the beavers and
prairie dogs of the West, who have pc
gun early to anticipate the winter, and ere
making extraordinary preparations IN ad-
vance. The writer in the French Batte-
tin is more scientific, and says: "Since
the atmospheric perturbations of 1S59-60,
the years have been warmer, clearer and
dryer, and the barometric pressure lighter
than before. These anomalies cannot fail
to find their compensations ere long,
| the winter before last closely CORE
! spending with that of 1928, ana
everything betokening that about 1910
we shall have great winter Ike that OF
| 1829-9O." We are not frightened quite
vet. and advise our readers not to be
alarmed unduly by such predictions. we
remember to have read some OF SINH
lar character last autumn, which failed
most ingloriously We have always had
private doubts whether beavers or prairie
| dogs could see much farther into the tu-
| ture than the almanac makers. We sus-
pect that it is no better than guess-worlI
with them, and they often make mistakes
| in their calculations. 1t is reflection on
human intelligence to think the beavers
wiser thanman; and we have long since
decided that the character of the winter
will be known much better in March than
in November 1t may be well, however,
to give heed to the prophets of evil omen,
and prepare for the worst.-ProVfdenct

RIVER AND WEATHER.

River was swelling little last evening
with Is inches on Harpeth Shoals Weather
wet and cloudy.
The indications last evening were favora-
BILE to an early rise in the river and our
steamboat-men wore brighter faces than
usual for the past month or 50.
Capt. Wash Weaver, the old veteran
clerk of the Tyrone was in the city yester-
day, circulating among his friends His
appearance here just at this particular time
is good sign of an early resumption OF
navigation.
Chas. II. Merry proposes that if the
merchants Of st. Louis will raise $500, OOO
he will build a frst-elass screw steamer to
run between st. Louis and New York. He
viii add $50, 600 more, guaranteeing that
a steamer of two thousand five hundred
tons, drawing ten feet water, viii make the
trip to New York in ten days.
The city of Petersburg, Va, has voted
$3.50, 600 in bonds to deepen the channel Of
the Appomsttox river, from Z to II
feet, from City Point to the wharves OF
Petersburg, distance of nine miles.
The government contract for carrying
the Upper Mississippi nver mail express
expired last Monday, the 18th inst. From
that time towns remote from railroads will
receive their mail matter by slow and easy
stages weekly, or oftener.

GERS in wood, copper, iron and stone, and the
learned professions, has been prOspered. Schools

States. The liberty OF every man y assured.
These blessings have not come 20 us by chance.
They bespeak our gratitude 10 their ALwise Giver.
We should seek Of Him thsir increase and confirm
alton in the future.
We have been taught from the Sacred Word BY
devout parents, that the Lord taketh pleasure in
them that fear Hmm His mercy He bealeth the
broken in heart; He bindeth up their wounds. He
telleth the number Of the stars; He prepareth
rain for the earth; He maketh grass 10 grOw upon
the mountains He maketh peace in our borders.
Now. therefore, /, D. W. Q. Senter, Governor Of

Near AT Hand,

The time for the drawing of the Hender-
son county land sale is nigh at hand. The
2Sth day of December will soon be here,
and those who neglect to secure a ticket IN
this land sale will lose an opportunity sell
dom offered. By the risking of five dollars
you may obtain the capital prize of $780,
600 There are also oil other prizes, the
smallest of which is $50 Then why not
buy q ticket and make the attempt to place
Yourself and family above want? There
are in this sale many very superior farms
located in one Of the richest portions Of
our State, and it seems to us that the man
who is able to buy ticket and has not the
nerve. would in the hour of danger make
but a poor reliance for protection. The
knowing ones are dropping in at the Office
of Mr.. K. H. Singleton and securing tick
cts: and the opportunity Of getting a
ticket at any price in the Henderson coun-
r. land sale will soon cease to exist. Put
in then for a ticket while the opportunity

back.

Miss Hosmer appeared last night as
Julia. in the play af Sheridan Knowles
entitled the Hunchback. If any new evi-
dences were wanting of her wondrOus pow
ers as an actress and delineator of the pas
sions. they were afforded last night. Her
bursts of indignation, her softness Of
love, and deepness Of revenge, are as
natural as hate and affection themselves.
When she loves Clifford, she does 1t nat
urally and makes the whole audience want
10 be Clifford The house was not as full
as it would have been, in consequence OF
the severe storm. She was admirably sus-
tanned by Miss Nellie Johnson, as Helen ;
Edmond L. Dalton, as Master Walter; Wal
lace Britton, as Clifford; VIII J. Virgins,
as Wodus: W. Butler. as Fathom; W. G.
Warvell, as Milford, Miss Virginia Rich
mond, as Lord Tinsel.
All the members of, the company indeed
did well, as they always do. The laughing
farce of the Two Gregories closed the
performance to the delight of those
present. Tonight we have the ''Ac-
tress Of Padua,' in which Miss
Hosmer Is superb Those who wish to
see an exhibition of genuine acting, should
not fail to be present. We hope to see
the house full to replehon. There are but
four more nights Of the engagement Of this
talented lady, and of course our people
win avail themselves of them

Ii seems to be conceded by the TeCOg
niZed authorities of the West, that the
hog crop will be equal to last year in
point of numbers, but there is, neverthe-
less. a strong effort to sustain the extreme
prices which have prevailed all through
the current year, on the ground that the
supply of old meats in the country IS
practically exhausted, and that therefore
the eXigencies of the demand for home
consumption and export will be such as
not to warrant any material decline.
Again, it is Contended by the high price
theorists at the West, that ''the present
eXorbitant price of hogs should be sus-
tanned through the winter, in order
to compensate the farmers for the
low prices ruling for their grain
in other words, that the interests of the
packers and consumers should be saCri-
feed for the purpose of benetitting the
producers. 1t is difficult to perceive any
Justice in such an assumption. The logic
is false in theory, md untcnable in every
respect. For the past few years the
farmers have monOpolized the lions share
of the profits Of the provision business,
and though those packers who commenced
laying up stock at the beginning Of the
season, and sold out during the specula
tive times of January and February, were
handsomely remmerated, their successors
in the stock have had a different story 10
tell
The Cincinnati Price current is
of opinion that prices VIII rule compare
lively high, notwithstanding the abund-
ance of hogs and the grain 10 feed them
| upon. because of the exhausted stocks of
old meats. 1t looks, however, for some
decline, for the reason that the wants of
| England will be much less than they were
last year, and that at last years prices but
| little will be needed, as the supply Of both
| hors and cattle in the British Isles, is
greater than il was year ago. Viewed
i'm all these aspects, it is easily seen that
! the future is anything but encouraging for
the packers of pork, and that their true
course is to be cautious and patient. In
view of all the known facts and prospects
connected with the trade, much lower
average of prices than those of last season
seems to be the only safety for dealers, OF
rather for those who win have to hold the
stocks during the season. Nearly all
kinds of trade and industry are depressed,
and with an abundance of all food pro-
ducts, it is not likely, in the absence of
any extraordinary demand, that war prices
can be maintained Bread stuffs are down
to a reasonable scale of prices, and it is
evident that meat provisions must take
the same course.

Mr.. PEABopY's Residence. Mr..
Peabody, as the cable informs us, died at
sshis residence in Eaton square. " 1t was
one of the peculiarities of Mr.. Peabody
that he never would have a house of his
own. He cared little for himself in all
things-it was his habit, for instance, TO
dine off a mutton chop at the grand din
ners he used to give, where every luxury
was placed on the table. He had a room
in the house of his old friend, Sir Curtis
NJ. Lampson, in Eaton square, and it was
there that he died. He used to live there
in the most quiet and retired manner; and
his name did not appear in any directory

during the last four years, and could very

order nor took his medicine As one of
his physicians complained a short time

after his health, or 10 have any fuss made
