p9 The Rev. DR.. George r. Entler,
of Franklin, New York, at the Semi
annual Meeting Of the American Orien-
tai Society held in the city OF New Ha-
ven, Ct, on the 4th and 9Th of Novem-
Der, read an elaborate paper on ~
primal aboriginal Shemetic language"
Dr. Eutler based his arguments for such
a language, which is lost from the Cog
nate aflinities of Hebrew, Chaldee, Syr-
lac, Himyaritic South Arabic), Pheni-
clan and Palmyrene and Cuneiform
(Assyrian) Inscriptions. 1t is to be
hoped, that the decipherment OF the
Assyrian inscriptions will give us some
clew to this lost, primal, aboriginal She
metic language.

had in many years, with no freeze OF
any consequence until the 10th of De-

only few cold days. More rain than
snow during the winter, and little or
no sleighing. A few cold days in
February, just for change, with dry
cloudy and warm March. Variable
weather in April, to be followed by a
dry May. We have our doubts as TO
whether the above will hold good; but
are perfectly willing to yield to its
gentleness should such. be the case.
