The Philadelphia Medical Times pre-
sents some interesting statistics from OBJ
servation made in Philadelphia, which
goes 10 show that the month Of August,
1872, was the hottest on record for the
past eighty.three years. The mean tenn
perature was Sl.O4 degrees, the highest
point reached o. 90 degrees. The aver
age mean temperature Of the same month
for the past eighty.three years was 70 80
degrees, and the highest mean Of temper
atrre during all that time was that for the
present year. A similar comparison Of
observation reveals the TACT that the sum.
mer as a whole, was the hottest on record.
The mean temperature for the three sum-
mer months oflS12 was so 90 degrees; the
average for the past eighty.three years
1857 degrees, and the highest mean du-
ring that entire period was that Of the
present year. As there is nothing SO ag-
gravating as a thermometer that fails &c
do justice to ones feelings In registering,
the heat Of summer, so there is nothing
so pleasant as 10 know that the prespira-
ton and groans oflast summer were moi
thrown away, but were expanded on the
hottest month and tho hottest summer or
record.

Really Hard Times.

One Of the New York Post subscribers,
living at Dix, Illinois, says that he has
heard and read great deal about hard
times in these days, but even they do not
compare with the times OF twenty-five
years ago. He gives the following Incl
dent as proof of his assertion:
"In Jefferson county, in this State, Mr..
COly BabCock, in 1915, wishing TO pur-
chase two pairs of shoes, went to his
country store, ard found that the mer.
chant had the shoes he desired; one pair
at ninety cents, and the other at seventy.
five cents. This was considered an ex.
Orbitant price, which he declined to pay,
but would 60 to vt. Louis (the head mar.
keO This was distance OF eighty miles
from his residence, but he shouldered his
rifle, put some corn dOdger' and salt in
his shot bag, and started on foot, killing
birds for meat, and lying at night by
camp fires of markeLcrs, which were
plenty at that time. Arriving at the
Mississippi at lllinolstown, Llnow East St.
LOUSY he found that 1t would cost him
five cents to cross the river. He was
mortified to find that he would then be
obliged TO break in upon his shoe money,
but succumbed at last, went over to the
city, and purchased two pairs OF shoes al
cost Of lorty and sixty cents. On re.
turning home he found he had cleared
sixty cents, less the ferriage, by his 'trip
walking eighty miles to save this
amount may look absurd, but dollars
were scarce, markets distant, the land
covered with forests, labor without dc.
mand, and pork worth one dollar aud
fifty cents per hundred pounds.-Prari,
Farmer.

Pacific Mail was the leading feature, and
rallied from Oh to 1921, with large trans.

the announcement that 1880 shares own.

at par and that the company has four
millions in the Treasury. Later In the
day Northwestern common and Western
Union became the favorites, the former,
in which the dealings were enormous,

Strange Animal ut Large In Belmont
County.

(Prom communicate In the Barucsville Eli.
lerprlse.)
A strange animal has made its appear.
nnCe in the neighborhOod Of Nevada, as.
toniShing the natives and causing a stir
not at all in harmony with the general
quietness and dizziness OF the above named
place. The animal WAS Lrsl seen by Mr..
Lewis Hunt, who had heard Of it being 10
his vicinity, and, with his dog and gun,
was out looking for it, lie noticed the
peculiar actions OF the dog, who refused
TO leave but lew yards, but would come
crouching and whining 10 his ieet. AS he
was rounding Il sharp point in tobacco
field, the dog suddenly ran away, bowling
as though badly hurt. Upon looking to
ascertain the cause Of its alarm, he found
himself about fifteen feet from an animal
altogether different from anything he had
ever before seen. From the sight he had
OF 1t, he described it as having a body
about tho size Of a Newfoundland dog,
short legs, and the ears resembling those
of fox; and, so far as he could discover,
entirely white. Upon It's discovering
him, it Immediately started torun through
the tobacco, giving him no chance 10
shoot at it. A great many persons disbe.
lieve Mr. Hunts story, but he is q man
who will not lie about u thing OF this
kind, and if some are disposed to dispute
the fact Of his having seen it, we can say
for their benefit that two other gentlemen
in company with Mr.. Hunt, at another
time, saw the same animal walking the
fence, which 1t appeared do as easily as q
cat Several persons have been out at
different times hunting for it, but so far
as heard from, have not been able to
find 1t.
