TIE WEATHER, ever thread-bare sub
ject, is, just at present, more than usu-
ally deserving Of an item. After five
weeks Of unusually pleasant weather,
stolen out Of the very heart of winter,
February puts in his claim for consider
alton as "winter month" in most
unmistakable and convincing manner.
II old February had imagined himself
Grant gathering up the slack reins of
government which have so long been
hanging over the dash board, lie could
not have made a more sudden and
marked change in the administration of
the weather. But While we feel for our
own fingers apd noses, we should re-
serve great deal of sympathy for the
poor ground hog who made his tradi-
tional appearance on Tuesday at the
mouth of each ground hog hole; and
who according to the same tradition,
must have been fooled into staying
above ground, because he couldn't see
his shadow. Poor fellow, he has before
this, learned by wintry experience that
disappointment il the lot Of mankind in
general, and ground hogs in particular.

Rowell's Broadcast Seed Sower and
CultiVator.

From the Davenport Democrat
We notice that Messrs. McNair &
Jordan are already delivering quite q
large number of these popular Seeding
Machines, and their sales amount to
something over two hundred for next
springs delivery. So large a sale at so
early a date shows that they are fully
appreciated by the farmers. About
l.4UO Seeders Of Rowells manufacture
have been sold by Messrs. McNair &
Jordan alone, in Iowa, since their intro
duction, and the sales the coming spring
promised to be much larger than ever
before. The Machine for 1869 uses four
Vibrating Scatterers, instead OF five of
the old stationery ones. The sowing is
perfect of coarse grain, as well us wheat
and flax. The new style of Hub and
improvement in attaching the Cultiva-
tors, makes the draft q third lighter than
last year; and the arrangement for sais-
ing the Cultivators in corn stalks and
throwing the machine ont Of gear are so
simple that boy can work it. The
Machine is 50 balanced that there is not
q pound of weight on the horses necks.
Mssrs McNair & Jordan hand us the
following letter:

pain in the back of the head. From
something of the nature of spasms, APP

the pain, Mr.. G. lapsed into an insensi-

his death, which took place on the fol-
lowing day.

Why is kissing your sweetheart like

takes long time to get enough.
The Prairie Du Chen Courier vouches
for the occurrence, in that city, of the
following amusing incident:
A little boy six years old, ran from the
kitchen to the parlor crying at the top
of his voice: Mamma! mamma! pa
and the hired girl are fighting. Pa has
got his arm around her peck and is
choking her real hard, and the girl bit
papa twice in the mouthW 1t is unnec-
essary to state that the lady of the house
brought that row to close in hurry.
and that the girl is looking for new
place."
A bold and adroit system of robbery is
being practiced in Boston. 1t consists
of cutting out piece of a window pane
by means of a diamond, and removing
the same with what is called sucker"
placed upon the piece cut out. On Sat
urday evening, the 18th, as previously
stated, jewelry worth $500 was stolen
from Washington street store through
such an aperture; and on Monday eve
ming a brokers' Office on Brattle Square
was relieved Of watches and diamonds
worth 1915.
