Professor Ticc's Prophecies.

A writer in the Louisville Com
mercial says: 1t certainly looks
as if Professor Tice is either the
teacher of q new philosophy in re-
gard to meteorological laws or a
good guesser. He first accounted
for the dry summers of the past
two years upon theory which he
said was based upon observed facts.
The theory fitted what had trans
spired admirably. But he went
farther and predicted a summer of
storms up to the middle and posi-
bly, all through July, based upon
the same theory. And he also
stated that these causes were cos
mical, and would effect the whole
globe. And up to this time
his prediction has been varified.
For not only has the atmospheric
ocean been perturbed in an unusu-
al manner everywhere, but we
hear of earthquakes in various
parts of the globe, volcanic convul-
sions to an unusual degree-Asia
Minor, in Central and South Amer
lea, and in the islands of the sea.
Then storms are numerous and con-
stantly occurring, and the rain fall
abundant. The Professor ascribes
these to planetary influences and
the frequent occurrence in a limit
ed time of planetary equinoxes,
which, he says, have accompanied
like phenomena in all cases since
they have been recorded, and veri-
fication possible. 1t must be that
the atmosphere is subject to fix
ed laws just as all other elements
are known to be. But MS we can
not see it, or touch it, or handle it,
these laws have remained undis-
covered, and we know less about |
the ocean of air that surrounds us
than of any other, or rather we
know nothing of it. Professor
Tice has struck out a new path,
which he says is based upon facts
recorded, aud his book now in
press will be looked for with
great interest, in view of the re-
markable fulfllment of his predic-
tons.

that he saw the prisoner twelve
miles from Groutville at half past
ten o'clock on the night designated,
where he had evidently lost his
way, and he directed him back
toward the village.
IL was shown to the satisfaction
of the court and jury that Joefs
horse was incapable of travelling
over seven miles an hour. at best,
and, when the dead man was dis
covered the body was cold. This
was at about half past twelve at
night.
The counsel made his pleas, the
prisoner was permitted to make
his own statement to the jury and
verdict was given within half an
hour afterwards.
"Not guilty y replied the fore
man, clearly, in response to the
clerks call. And fifteen minutes
afterward deacon Joel and his wife
were in each others arms, the gov
eminent attorney having not pros
ecuted indictments against her.
Hannah Goodale was instantly
seized and taken before q magis-
trate, now charged with being an
accessory to the murder. In her
desperate fright she confessed to
having perjured herself before the
court, and that she placed the poe
textbook in the deacon's coat poe
ket after he came into the house.
That though she did not see Dilla-
way killed, she knew that Paddle
ford went up to his room. She
saw him come down again, heard
scuffle, and was aware he got
the mans money.
Within a fortnight Paddeford
was arrested, tried and convicted
and eventually both himself and
his guilty associate, the wretched
Hannah, was imprisoned for life.
The deacon returned to his
dwelling again, and the sympathy
of the public deservedly turned in
his favor at once. But he was dis
heartened, and he could not bear
to remain at the old place after the
dreadful scene that had occurred
there. Soon after he came back
in triumph at his honorable acquit-
tai he had an offer for his estate,
which he accepted, and with his
wife, he departed for one of the
counties of Massachusetts,,
where he lived afterward happily

A young Trojan went up into
Washington county the other day
to buy horse. He found one that
suited him and sent him home on
trial. After thorough examina-
ton he was found to be unsound,
and the young mans father sent
an older son with a telegram to
the younger, who remained up

rather eight on money matters,
reading the dispatch at the Office,
hurriedly, found that IL contained

avoid the extra tariff, thoughtless-

dispatch was sent, the horse was
bought, and the close-fisted Troy
mans brother has an $500 bargain
that he would like TO get lid Of for

she became the victim of hysteria,
