PRoF. TICE, the distinguished meteor
ologist and weather prophet of st. Louis,
has issued his Annual National Weather
Almanac for 1879, which, besides fore
telling the weather for every day in the
year and clearly explaining the theory
on which his predictions are ba-ed, he
gives a history, causes and effects of
tornadoes-a chapter on Tightening rods,
exposes their general worthlessness, and
explains how they may be made effective
&c. The whole is of great interest and

DURING the year 1873 We shall give but
80 days time TO any person having Job
work done at this Office. # payment is
not made at that time interest will be
charged on the amount at 10 per cent
from the time the work is completed.
We have now Cue rs some @40O which
we find it absolutely impossible to col
lect. This failure on the part Of some
having work done at this office, to pay
for the same, takes off all the profits.
We have trusted people whom we thought
were good. " and it is possible some may
pay in the course Of years, but it is hard
" justice to our cash customers, to thus
offer a premium to negligence. Hereaf-
ter a bill will be furnished with the de
livery of the work, and if payment is not
made before the expiration Of 80 days,
interest will be charged no matter how
small the sum.

THErtver is crowded with skaters every
day. This is an exercise which parents
should encourage, both in boys and girls.
It is LeaIthful and no mean accomplish
ment. The danger attending it is to a
great extent visionary, ana the advantage
to health is almost incalculable. Over
cautious parents keep their children from
acquiring great deal that is of value
simply through fear that some accident
may happen. Swimming is an art with
which every one should be acquainted,
yet almost every boy who becomes an ex-
pert swimmer must do SO by stealth.
DO not make a coward OF your boy, by
making him believe that when he goes on
solid ice he takes his life in his hand. It
is well to require caution, bat not TO
foster timidity.

IT is an absolute fact that the amount
we have received for subscription up to
date has rot been enough to pay for the
paper on which the Pnor is printed, and
the amount received from subscribers
outside the county has not paid for the
postage. We are willing to risk sending
the paper to subscribers outside the
county for one year, but let those under
stand that we shall make very deter
mined effort 10 collect, not SO much on
account Of the amount at stake as that
we do not wish to crafty those who are
willing to take paper and not pay for it.
We have increasingly urged those per-
sons to order the paper discontinued if
they did not wish to pay for it. Ia re-
Spouse, we have received letters notifying
us to stop, but saying nothing about pay
ing what is due.

On Saturday last two young men
whose only capital is their wits, managed
TO beat Chicago agent out Of s.. They
formed his acquaintance and managed
to become quite intimate during the day.
At Richenhein's saloon one Of the two
young men drew a lock out of his pocket
and told the agent that he could not IN
lock that. He took the lock and readily
opened it. The young man appeared to
be surprised at the others success and
offered 70 bet $40 that it could not be
done again. As the agent showed no
disposition TO take the bet, It was re-
duced to so and then to s.. Each put
s. in the hands Of the young mans
pal" and while the agent was engaged
in examining the lock, the pal walked
off unceremoniously with the SO. The
agent felt worse at being ''beaten'' in a
country town than at the loss Of his So,
and did not info1m the marshal of his
loss until the couple had left. The ac-
tons CT the two strangers aroused the
suspicious Of the marshal and he sbad-
owed them pretty closely during their
stay in the city, keeping q close watch
on them until O'Clock in the morning.
They appeared to be aware of his sur
VIGILANCE and left the town apparently in
disgust
o. Sunday night the house of Richard
Mueller at Two Rivers was entered by
burglars and $50 in cash and q watch
worth $50 was stolen. 11r. Mueller had
neglected to lock his safe that night so
the thieves encountered no difficulty in
riding it Of its contents. His clothes
were on . chair in the room in which he
slept and from these the watch was taken.
and so il bills.
The safe was in a room adjoining that
in which 3ir. Mueller slept. The inner
lock was forced and the money taken out
Of the drawer. His vife's iawelry was
also stolen and even the contents Of
child's safe. The same parties broke in
to the express Office but finding nothing
there, made raid on III. Mueller's
house. Some persons are suspected and
detectives are working it up. It is sup
posed that F'home talent" did the job, as
sisted by some sharpers from this city.
y number Of unimportant burgIaries are
yearly committed AT Two Rivers, and it
is to be hoped that the perpetrators will |
be discovered and punished.

Leading Features OF the New California Con
StitutiOn.

The leading features of the now Con-
stitution deserve special notice-name-
~, the provision relating TO taxation
and tho Chinese question. Under the
general head of property" every in
terest in the State representing capital
in any form comes under the shadow of
the tax gatherer. The wOrkingman
who deposits his saving in bank be
comes ut once II capitalist in the eye OF
the law, and must pay thereon his quota
to the general revenue. The effect o..
will BIO ruinous, inasmuch as it must
cause a withdrawal Of the deposits, which
are the solid parts Of these Institutions.
Ii the funds are 40 withdrawn all the
interests hanging on these banks must
suffer, and q shock will be given to bus
mess which will react on the party re-
spOnsiblc for this radical measure. The
Chinese are by tho new Consultation
virtually excluded from employment
If they do not go they can stay and
starve. California says this by from
eight to ten thousand majority. Now
the world will see how the comnunistic
idea works in Fractice.-N. y, Herald.
Ia speaking ofthe causes which led
to the adoption OF th,s Constitution, the
New York FINES ot the 10Th inst -ays ::
"The considerations Ia which Calitor-
MA directs the attention OF the cnuntry
involve too much to be disposed OF w,th
a sneer. Popular opinion runs counter
to great railroad corporation, aud no,
wholly without reason. Their monop-
lizing tendencies, their disregard oi
rights and interests that conflict with
their pretensions, their evasion at taxa
ton. and their perversion of power
held subject to the condition that 1t
shall not be used adversely to the public
veal, are characteristics with which
States other than California are fam,l
lar. Eut ia California corporate mon
oPoly has acquired proportions. aud IA
serts itself with an insolence, unknown
elsewhere. Among railroads its type is
the Central Pariiic among banks, the
Bank of California. The so called 30
nanZa capitalists illustrate the arrogance
of wealth in other forms, and the shame
less creed aud trickery with which il
carries out its plans. And the stock
speculation OF San Francisco has frauds
peculiarly its own. 1t is necessary to
remember these things when trying TO
account for tho condition of public
opinion which has made the California
Constitution possible. They do not
constitute tho excuses for It's wrongs
and follies. But they do help to render
Ineligible the madness which enabled
knaves and demagOgucs TO accomplish
80 much.
