The change in the weather on Thurs

Ezra Lamborn, of West Bradford twp,
Chester county, claims that he has the
cheapest and most accurate weather
indicator known. 1t consists of a piece
of calamus which he carries in his
pocket. When it becomes soft it is a
sign of rain, and when hard, clear
weather will follow. He has tested it
for number of years, and is fully con-
WINGED that it is equal to any indicator
known West Chester Republican.
4 On last Thursday evening as Mr.. Will
liam Weaver, of this borough, accom-

the Narrows in a buggy, they ran into
a wagon which had been left standing
in the road by some careless person, and
knocked three spokes out of their vehi-
Gle and otherwise demolished it so badly
that they were compelled to walk to
town and lead the horse.
