WEATHER REPORTS AND FORECAST.

WEATHER REPORTS AND Forecast.
The Burlington Free Press has the
following take off on the weather re-
ports now sent out from Washington:
Skowhegan, June 81, 17S2.-The ba-
rometer has risen or fallen slightly from
Podunk, Me-, to Yuba Dam, Cal. A
snow storm is reported in Greenland.
There is rain storm prowling around
somewhere in New Jersey, AMI fears are
entertained that it will visit this country.
The Rocky mountain stations are in
statu quo, aud report the weather quite
juicy in that locality. Ohio reports
short reign on the new departure, which,
however, failed to hold water. The ba-
rometer fe in Utah, and was slightly
injured. 1t would have risen in Nevada,
only there is no barometer there, so it
was obliged 10 abstain from rising.
Slight frosts are reported in the north
ern part of Alaska, which, it is feared,
will injure the potato crop. The barom-
eter is very much depressed in Texas,
and quite melancholy in Virginia.
Some sort of disturbance is reported
on Lake Memphramagog in longitude
z by 8.
Probabitities.-It is probable that con-
siderable weather will be experienced in
various parts of the country and else
where, Tomorrow Local rain storms
may be expected, with fair weather,
east of the Mississippi, also west of the
Mississippi and elsewhere. No material
change is anticipated in Sehaghticoke or
Salt Lake City. 1t is probable that the
barometer will rise or fall, or both, or
either, or otherwise 10 the Ohio Valley
and on the lakes, or elsewhere, as cir
cumstances may require.

story with such minute detail and con-
meets so many collateral facts aud out

pefore the examination is closed it can
not fail to appear that Devoe has told

Lansing ought to be hung. The exam
ination is adjourned to the 26th inst.
Mrs. Lansing has some property, and
both she and her husband are very re-
specially connected. The trouble in

most strange and unfortunate affair.

A SPECIMEN CAsE.-That whirligig of
time brings around good many other
things besides revenges, and brings some
of them great ways around too. For
instance, William Nc Candies. This
gentleman is just now the leading candi.

ated him, accepted finally and unreserv-
eddy, as part of the orthordox demo.
cratic faith, the dogma, that under the
constitution the colored citizen has the
same civil and political rights, no more
and no less, as the white. Mr.. McCand.
less has deliberately placed himself upon
this platform. Yet he is the same Will

reason that he did not wish to take part
in an abolition war. He was opposed
then, even to the emancipation of the
colored man. Now he recognizes him as
an American citizen and bis own equal
before the law. Certainly McCandless
ought to be very grateful to the whirli-
gig. 1t has done a great deal for him,

HEAVY VERDICT AGAINST RUM

HEAVY VERDICT AGAINST RUM.-A
verdict, very important to rum sellers,
has just been rendered in Ohio. A wild
ow brought suit against the man who
had sold rum to her husband for several
years until it killed him, and the jury
rendered verdict of $4,000 damages.
A few verdicts like these would soon
render rum selling Improbable, and with
the profits removed, there would no
longer be the temptation to engage in
that kind of traffic.

Murder of a School Teacher.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Lagrange, Ind, June 23.-Miss Anna
Dwight, schoolmistress, was murdered
yesterday, at Stone Lake School-house
about ten miles from here, in Van Bur.
en- Township, by young man named
Chaucey Barnes, of Elkhart County. He
left his fathers house yesterday morning,
walked to White Pigeon, four miles dis
tant, hired horse aud buggy there, and
taking with him a woman whose name
and character are not yet known, went
20 the school-house where Miss Dwight
was teaching. Miss Dwight was at the
time enjoying the noon recreation with the
school children on the margin ofthe lake
near by when Barnes and the woman
drove up. The woman called Miss
Dwight to the buggy side, when Barnes
alighted, and asked her to walk with him,
as he wished to speak with her privately.
She consented, and they went a short
distance and sat down on log and con-
versed few minutes, when Barnes was

fell at the first fire. He then presented |
the pistol at his own head and fired sew

A SINGULAR OcoURRENcE.-A por-
tion of railroad track in Ararat township,
Pa, has recently occasioned the compa-
ny no little difficulty by suddenly sink
ing into the earth and disappearing from
sight altogether. An investigation of
the singular occurrence revealed the
fact that underneath the line for some
considerable distance was large subter.
ranean pond of considerable depth 1t
is covered by about six feet of black
earth, which supports heavy growth
of wood. The pond or lake itself, ac-
cording to the local paper, contains
many fish, pickerel among others, out
all without eyes. The same authority
says that another pond, "about a mile
and half distant, is growing over. A
considerable part OF it has become sub
terranean within the last twenty years,
and probably before many years it will
be entirely covered like The other. This
pond is about twenty acres in extent.
For some distance from shore it is filled
with a dense growth of water lilies, and
hese, no doubt furnish the foundation
IN which the superstructure of earth is
commenced" Altogether the occur
'ence is very remarkable one, and will
urnish food for scientific minds.

A FAMILY DRIVEN FROM THEIR BEDS
AND LOCKED IN CELLAR BY BUR
GLARs.-One of the boldest robberies of
the age was perpetrated on Wednesday
night of last week, at the house of Mr.. T.
Negley, who resides alb tut three miles
southeast of Kansas City, Mo, He
states that he was met while returning
from market, by two men who asked him
several questions as to the whereabouts
of several fictitious persons whom they
pretended to be in search of. After he
had passed them he noticed two other
suspicious looking characters come from a
hollow and join the first two. One Of
them afterwards followed him some dis
lance towards his home. Towards morn
log he was awakened by a suffocatiDg
sensation, and found a mans hand laid
upon his mouth, and pistol muzzle
against his temple, while a voice babe
him keep still or die" Mrs. N, awoke
with a scream as she was being secured
by a second person. The ruttians, four
in number, were all in the bedroom, and
after a long consultation. concluded to
contine the family in the root cellar, a
stone vault built in the bank, short dis
lance from the house. Mr.. Negley, his wife
and two daughters, we're then compelled
to get up and follow two of the thieves
to the vault, where they were duly loo xed
up. The robbers then procee led to ransack
the house Of every small article of value
taking two small watches, lot of Jewell
ry and clothing, fine opera glass, and
trinkets valued $500. They then took
horse from the pasture, but afterward
turned him loose in the road. Just be.
fore leaving the premises one of the men
knocked on the vault door, and babe the
inmates keep still or they would shoot
them like dogs. The family remained
shivering in the cellar till dayl ght dawn
ed, when German boy attracted by
their cries came to their relief and burst
open the door. The thieves were trailed
to the Westport pike, where traces of
them we're lost.
