The WEATHER.--As the depression moved
over Texas and Louisiana during yesterday it
came in contact with the western margin of the
area of high barometer which extends from the
Eastern Gulf to Manitoba, and, being about the
came temperature, the latter formed a barrier
tn its eastward movement, causing il to take
more northerly course. The depression moved
with remarkable rapidity toward the Northern
Mississippi Valley. where the temperature wasrel-
atively very low, and storm centre was organized
during its advance. When the humid air from
the Gulf reached tho cold regions rapid con-
densation was developed and snow, slcet and
rain began to fall. Toward evening the precip-
tation increased, the snow being very heavy in
the northern lake regions while rain fell in the
Ohio and Lower Missouri valleys in la, &c guam
titles. In fact, with the exception of the South
Atlantic States, rain or snow has fallen in all
the districts east Of the Rocky Noun
tnins. The winds have been brisk in
the Northern Mississippi Valley and the
central lake regions. In the other districts they
have been generally fresh. The temperature
has fallen in the lake regions, the Middle Atlun-
tic and New England States; elsewhere it has
risen decidedly. The gradients will become
steep In the lower lake districts and the Middle
Atlantic and New England States during today
and Friday and severe weather will probably
prevail, particularly on the coasts. Thus
far no more serious damage hae been
done by the ice gorges in the Southern
rivers than the sinking of some barges
and the demolishing Of wharves. II is TO
be feared, however, that the heavy rains fall
ing in the central valleys will cause rapid
rise In all the rivers, which may prove destruc-
tive to both life and property. The weather in
New York and its vicinity to-day will be cold
and cloudy, with snow. Tomorrow il promises
TO be colder and cloudy. with snow in the morn
ipg followed by clearing.

Pulpit Sketches.

Abstract of sermon preached at the
Baptist church, Passumpsic, Dec. z, by
Rev. N. W. Alger, pastor. Text /:
"Then Agrippa said unto Paul, almost
thou persuadest me to be Christian. -
Acts 26: %. The "Christian" Agrippa
was almost persuaded to be, was more
than mere starting point, or CONVEX
sion. If he was thus influenced by the
relation of Paul's experience, it natural
ly follows that he contemplated imitat-
ing Paul's example of devotion, sacri
fee and labor, and here lies the secret
of his final rejection of Christianity,
viz: The character of the man. Judg-
ing from his dealings with Paul his de-
cisions were good, clear and impartial,
no matter how much the Jews demand
ed his death, "He might have been set
at liberty if he had not appealed unto
Caesar" But the words almost per-
suaded are in themselves a very strong
suggestion as to the rest of his charac-
ter, and history confirms that sugges-
ton, showing that the desire for an
easy, extravagant life more than bal
anced any and every impression for
good. So now the great objections to
being "a Christian" are not in the
thing itself, nor in the scott repeated
criticisms of Christians, but in the sharp
lines of difference between Christian
life and the present life of personal
ease and pleasure. Almost thou per-
suadest ME. The personal danger of
only being almost persuaded. Invita-
ton and advice to be persuaded to "be
a Christian"

Monday afternoon. A little son of
Amasa Hudson, and a five years old
daughter of Il Mrs. Moron, on River St.,
also died. and all were buried on Tues
dav. These sudden deaths naturally
alarm people, but at present writing
NO can learn of but one new case of
the disease, and no case of an alarming
nature. Although all the cases of
canker-rash except those in Mr.. Geo.
p. Moors's family have occurred in the
Summerville school district, it is not
believed that they could have been in
duced by anything in or about the
school house, as the house and out
buildings were thoroughly cleaned be-
fore the term began. But to use every
precaution, the committee will fumi-
gate the house before school begins
again.
Contrary to expectation last week,

ly all have had the disease. All these

pathy of the community in this their

Fire in Avenue House Block.

Last Thursday afternoon about half
past four o'clock, a three-lamp chande-
lier in the cloak and fur room at o. H.
Hale's store in Avenue House block,
fell to the floor, and the oil took fire,
almost instantly filling the room with
flames. An alarm was sounded and the
fire department were promptly on hand,
but through the exertiOns of Mr.. Hale
and his employees the fire was smother
cred with blankets. There were about
60 cloaks hanging near the lamps, all of
which were more more or less damaged /;
besides these the room contained some
$500 dollars worth of other goods
which were damaged. so that probably
the loss will amount to nearly the val
ne of the goods. When this chandelier
was put up, it was thoroughly tested,
supporting the weight of heavy man,
and it is unaccountable what caused its
fall. Perhaps this may be a caution to
people in general who have hanging
lamps to see that all is safe.
