| Lake Ontario. Severe local storms have
| marked its progress, and light rains, with
| threatening weather, now prevail very gem
| orally from Ontario to Arkansas. The baro-
meter has fallen on the gulf coast, and rain
is again reported from Louisiana to Florida
| and, North Carolina. The pressure has
+! varied but little on the middle and east At
| lantic, where clear and hazy weather has
| prevailed, with southeast and easterly

| be experienced on Saturday. from Missouri
| to Lake Huron and westward. Low ba-
rometer with cloudy weather will probably
| continue from Louisiana to West Virginia
| and eastward. Low barometer, with cloudy
| weather and local storms will probably ex-
