of atmospheric mosaic. Twas hot, then
cool, cooler, frost, fire, ~overcoats. thun-
der, lightning, rain, more rain, mos
rain we've had for two years in one

h~ot-tentot.

ment. The table is to be supplied with

Prof. Loos, Of Bethany College,
preached at the Disciple Church in
Warren, on last Sunday. His discourse
in the evening was practical and sugges-
tive, being in fact the kind of preaching
which the world is greatly in need of.
We would like every young man in
Warren to hear that sermon some time.
-Commodious additions for the exhi-
bition of the different varieties of fowls
have been added to the Fowl Depart
uento n-the Trumbun Co. Fair Grounds.
These additions will accommodate ex-
Ihibitors % an extent which will warrant
an extraordinary display of the superior
breeds of fowls. and we hope to see I'M
usual interest shown in this very inter
esting department.
The lightning was pretty sharp and
lively in these parts on last Thursday.
Mr.. L. Fuller, living about two miles
north Of town, had a COW killed by the
electric fluid. Mr.. VIM. Downing, of
Bazetta, had a horse killed; Mr.. VIM.
Mann, in the same township, had a hay
stack burned and the lightning tried a
lick at a twenty-one year old iron rod
on the dwelling of Mr.. Isaac Troxel, in
Rowland, but the old rod carried off the
discharge so fully as to a v the house
from injury.
The display of cattle at Trumbull
County Fairs has always been an attrac-
tive feature. For a few years past a
number of farmers have made the rails
ing of stock a specially. 1t is certainly
highly gratifying to know that if the
number Of cattle on exhibition is not as
large as at some neighDcring county
fairs, the quality is greatly superior.
There is g taste for blooded cattle, par
ticularly the short horn breed. The
cattle show from Rowland township has
heretofore been the largest. In that
toswnhip Nj. J.F. King is the owner ofa
herd of as fne short horn cattle as one
would wish to see. He has for a num-
Der of years been a dealer in stock, and
taken every opportunity to improve
them If possible, and as the appearance
of the herd indicates, he is an adept in
cattle raising. At present he owns six
ty.fiYe head, and will exhibit a number
of these at the next fair of the Society.
