That Unfortunate Danbury Boy.

WHEN boy is in haste to go somewhere
on his own account is not exactly the time
to send him elsewhere on your account.
But fond Danbury mother thought diff
ferent She wanted her boy to carry some
things down stairs, when he thought he
ought to be out doors tickling the car
mans horse. But he took the things. He
put a mirror under one arm and clock
under the other Then he took a chair in
each hand, and hung pail of dishes
around his neck, and filled his pockets
with tumblers, and started for the stairs.
Just as he got to the top to commence the
descent the mirror slipped, and in an en-
deavor to recover it he lost his balance
and went shooting down to the next floor,
accompanied by all those articles, and
making an earthquake at every bound.
Coming up the stairs at the same time was
the carman. He saw the danger, and had
sufficient presence of mind to shout. "Hey,
you! go back" But the boy did not hear
him, apparently, for he kept right on, and
by the carman, leaving that unfortunate
man to follow on his head. The cries and
crash brought the rest of the family to
the rescue, and the disconsolate youth
was saturated with arnica and tears con-
trary to the advice of the carman, who
suggested that he be driven into the earth
with mallet.-DdnbuTy Nelos.

An Interesting Table.

THE Boston Advertiser has prepared an
interesting meteorological table, showing
a complete picture of the past winter over
the entire northern section of the United
States from Portland, Maine, to Portland,
Oregon. The data and figures thus tabu-
lated show many important as well as
some curious results. There are three
marked divisions of climate between the
Atlantic and Pacific, along the belt of
country over which the observations ex-
tend. The first division embraces the re-
gion from Maine to the Mississippi, and it
is termed the section of deep SHOWS. Co
ing westward there is rapid dimunition
until, at Duluth, Minnesota is little more
than One-fourth of the amount at Maine.
The boundary between the region of snow
and region comparatively snowless is
found in the vicinity of the Mississippi
River in Minnesota. From this point to
the Rocky Mountains, across Dakota and
Montana, distance of about nine hun
dred miles, the deposition of moisture
during the whole winter was less than
that of single storm in January between
Lake Michigan and the Atlantic. This
may, therefore, be termed the snowless
region. The third climate division is
west of the Rocky Mountains, in which
region, as well as east of the Mississippi
there is great deposition of moisture (;
while the vast intermediate region, in
cluding the basin of the Missouri, and
Yellowstone, and their tributaries, and all
the region nOrthward to the Saskatchewan
and beyond, has winter atmosphere so
devoid of moisture and free from clouds,
and so beautiful, invigorating and electric
that 1t may be said to have distinct and
separate climate. The general average of
temperature is lower west than east of the
SONS is another feature distinguishing the
three sections. In many parts of New
England, in Central and Northern New
York, and in Canada the ground was
covered with snow for four months, while

DURING the recent session of the Illinois
Legislature, stringent Game law was
passed, which repeals all the Others. Its
provisions are but little understood by the
shooting fraternity. The following are
offenses under it; To hunt or pursue, kill
or trap, net or ensnare, or attempt to kill,
trap, net, ensnare, or otherwise destroy any
species of deer, wild turkey, prairie-chick-
en-, partridge or pheasant, between the 1st
of January and the 1st of October; any
woodcock, between the 1st of January and
the LIST of July; any water fowl between
the 18th of April and the 1st of Novem-
ber; and any of the common species of
birds, not considered as game, at any time
during the year, 1t is also made unlawful
for any person or corporation common
carriers excepted) to have game in posses
sion at any time when the killing of the
same is contrary to the provisions of the
act. The removal of eggs from the nests
of game birds, and traffic in the same, is
likewise unlawful. The act contains the
usual provisions concerning trespass.

TO A RAIN.DROP.

HAIL jewel, pendant on the grassy blade,
NOW dimly seen amid transient shade,
Anon resplendent, like a bridal maid,
Wed by the wind,
Thou trembcst at his kisses half afraid
And half inclined
How many hues Of beauty charm thy face
For there successive rays each other chase;
The ruby now, the sapphire next we trace;
The chrysOlite
Supplants the emerald rich in vernal grace,
And dear to sight
o fairy creature whittier hast thou comef
Was the Atlantic once thy stormy homer
Or didst thou through the mild Pacific roam
'MOng coral isles,
And thence ascend 10 the ethereal dome
With sanity smiesi
Hast thou, in clouds of richest colors blended,
On rising suns and setting suns attendedS
Or hast thou shone In bars of beauty splendid
In the rainbow's rObep
Or hast thou in misty chariot wended
Around our globe?
Alasl thou answerest not, thou brilliant mute;
Ihou shinest on in silence absolute;
The wanderings of thy restless silver foot
Thou canst not tell;
And soon thou shalt resume thy pilgrims route
Nor sigh FAREWELL

THE Dixon Telegraph relates the follow
ing strange instance of forewarning in
connection with the recent bridge calamity
in that city: About two weeks before the
fall of the bridge, and, probably, about
the time that structure was, one Sabbath,
crowded with people witnessing a scene
of baptism, Mrs. f. Forsythe, of this city,
had a dream in which the fail of the
bridge was foreshadowed. The dream
was very vivid, creating deep impress
sion upon her mind from which now she
is much affected. The falling of the
bridge in her dream and as it afterward
actually happened were almost identical.
She distinctly remembers that the last face
she saw in that vision was that of one of
the ladies who did go down and lost her
life, Mrs. Forsythe repeated her dream
to several of her neighbors before the
fatal accident, so deep was the impression
it left upon her mind, We give only
these brief facts, which furnish much
food for thought.

THE following, which is without doubt
the biggest snake story ever published, is
found in the Pulaski (Tenn) Citizen
"Charles T. Robinson, of Giles County

which measured seven feet in length. He
found it in the crack of fence, half of It's
body being on either side. On examina.
tion it developed that the snake had swal.
lowed rabbit before it attempted to
crawl through the crack, and that after its
body was half through it caught and swal.
lowed another rabbit, thus having a rabbit
on each side OF the fence. The crack was
so small that the rabbits could not get
through, and the consequence was that the
snake was hitched. 1t was killed in this
situation"

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

PORT DEPOSIT, Sept. 16, 1878.
EDITOR WHIG:-A meeting to be ad
dressed by Rev. Pennel Coombe, under the
auspices Of the State Temperance Ali
ance, was announced for this town on
Monday, Sept. 10.
The meeting was held in the Odd Eel
lows Hall, and was large and enthusiastic
Mr.. Coombe delivered an able and in
structive address, and was listened to with
marked attention. He stated that there
had been three points of difference between
the Temperance men and enemies of the
Temperance cause. Two of the differ
ences have been definitely settled beyond
the power of resusctation, viz: That it is
wrong for Christians to drink whisky; and
that it is wrong for Christians to sell whis-
ky. The third point of difference yet
remains: that it is wrong for the govern
ment to legalize the traffic in Intoxicating
drinks. Take away the license system and
dramshops will not be seen. He then in
lucid and comprehensive manner proved to
the satisfaction of majority of the audi
ehCe, lhdl LOCAL Optlon is the only,
and true remedy for the evils of intemper-
ance that overspreads our land. He gave
an interesting account of the Local Option
fight in the 22d ward of PHILADELPHIA.
which resulted in a victory for the reform.
He proved that this is not movement of
party politics, but measure of public
policy, and that all friends of this reform
without distinction of party, creed, Or sect,
color, or caste, can unite on this broad
platform, in a hearty hand clasp and with
a mighty effort overthrow the monster
Intemperance, and bury him forever from
human sight; while the victors can shout
glad praises over an emancipated land
The discourses were interspersed with apt
anecdotes, which were given with telling
effect in favor Of the reform. In summing
up, the friends Of the Local Option cause
may congratulate themselves that this re-
form has made great stride forward and
is fixed fact in the minds of the people
as 4 purpose to be accomplished. and that
the license law will soon be expuneed from
our statute book. o.
