METEOROLOGICAL RECoRD.-We take pleas
urc in laying before our readers this week
the first Of series of articles which will be
prepared every month for THE Agis, giving
a statement of the temperature, rain fall and
other meteorological facts interesting to far
mers and others. These articles will be pre-
pared by gentleman of high scientific at
tainments, a close observer, and the record
may be relied upon as correct. We call es-
pecial attention to the startling facts stated
in his communication this week in regard to
the decreased rainfall resulting from the
wholesale destruction of our forests. The
subject is one that concerns not farmers alone,
but all classes of the community, The Leg
islaturc Of the State should take the matter
in hand and provide some system for re-
placing the timber annually consumed for
useful purposes or wasted by neglect.

INDEPENDENCE DAY. - The GLORIOUS
Fourth" passed off very quietly, as il usually
does, in this place. The stores were closed
and there was no public observance of the day
Even the boys made less noise Than custom
airy with fire crackers, sc. In the afternoon
very pleasant pic mic for the children of the
Presbyterian Sunday School was held, and
this, with exhibitions of fire works at night
at several private residences in the neigh
borhood, was about all that marked the &C.
casion as holiday. 1t is to be hoped that
the spirit of patriotism has not died out with
the omission of Fourth of July celebrations.

In the evening, Rev. DR.. Small preached
very able discourse, replete with home truths
put in most practical manner and force d
home with eloquent appeal, to the members of
the Grand Army. His text was 1st Corinth-

strive to pay them the fitest honor possible.
Their great sacrifice saved the nation We
might build monuments; but if we did this
and then went on to forget the inestimable gift
of country they bad vouchsafed to us, our hom-
