Weather report The low pressure
Thursday evening over Lake Ckamplain
has moved rapidly down the valley of
the st. Lawrence. Minor areas Of low
barometer in the Southern aud middle
States have moved rapidly, with brisk
winds, in North h-easterly direction.
The lowest barometer is now South of
the Bay of Fundy. The highest pres
sure extends from Tennessee to Northern
Michigan and from Pennsylvania to
Mississippi, into which region it has
moved from the North western plains.
The pressure is falling rapidly in Ne
braska, with increasing temperature, and
IS increasing on the Pacific const. Fair
and cool weather has generally prevailed
to-day East of the Mississippi. Threat
ening weather and rapid rise in the
thermometer is now reported from the
extreme North west. Probabilities-It
is probable that on Saturday an area of
low barometer will develop in North
western stations and more South easterly.
Partially cloudy weather, with fresh
winds, will probably prevail on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts and the lakes.

JUDGE MONTGOMERY Moses The
Spartanburg Republican, of tho 22d, says:
"The Spring Term of the Court of
General Sessions opened on Monday
morning. his Honor Judge Montgomery
Moses presiding. Judge Moses presides
with great dignity. and we are glad to
see ls punctilious about all those forms
which, though trihing in themselves,
are absolutely essential to the dignity of
Court. His charge to the Grand jury
was very thorough, and we trust that his
orders and wishes in regard to examin-
ing into the official conduct of our Conn
ty officers will be strictly carried out.
The impression thus far made by judge
Moses upon the members of the bar,
aud upon the citizens who have met
him. has been very favorable, and We
hope that he, in turn, will find the at
fractions of Spartanbnrg sufficiently
great to persuade him to settle among
u.s.

energetically forward.
