VIZ need not be surprised II the
rain which set in yesterday and con-
,nued with increased volume last night,
should prove the beginning OF the end oI
the very remarkable weather which we
have bad this fall. We have really had
amid type Of summer-in fact great
improvement on summer-for six weeks
past, and take it all in all it has been the
lifting climax Of the most benefcent and
bountiiuI season known to this genera
ton.
We presume that the Oldest inhabiLant
does not remember ayear when the peo.
pie Of this city sat at their front doors in
the evenings during the second and third
weeks Of October, and found it necessary
for 40 many nights to keep their windows
open III order to sleep comfortably. Such
aseasOn is almost phenomenal, and is a
lifting one to open the second century OF
American Independence.

THE St. ClairsvilIs narrow gauge had

Saturday, during which time its cash
receipts averaged slOO per week, and
this, TOO, notwithstanding the fact that

to $50 per week on its coal traffic alone.
The Bellaire Independent says that
farmers living midway between st.
Clairville ard Watnock now obtain
their coal at St. Clairsville, and in other
ways ia coal traffic is developing itself
surprisingly. The.indications are that
the road will be able to pay Z or S per

II this turns out to be the case with this
little road what may We expect from the
