The Weather for 1870.

Richard MansilPs "Almanac of Plan
etary Meteorology" for 1879 has the
following; IF the positions of the
planets affect the temperature of our
ear'h's atmosphere during the year
1879 as they have done when in SINH.
lar positions during the past years,
particularly the positions that gave.
us the mild Winter Of lS77-'7S aud
early Spring Of 1860 we may expect
very erratic seasons during 1879
Agreeable to the theory, we shall have
cool weather set in early In the season
in November aud through December
with temperature below the mean; toll
cradle steady cold weather through
January, with temperature below the
mean; winter will continue through
February, followed by cold March.
We shall be iattered by the prospect of
Spring during few days about the
middle Of April. while Mercury is
about passing its inferior conjunction
with the sun, but this will som pass
away. and the weather, or temperature,
sink below the average of the season,
and will probably remain below the
mean throughout May, June and July
while We shall move into a hot,
stormy Summer about the last day Of
August, and these conditions through
September and most Of October. Be.
tween the Autumn and Winter mouths
cool drougths will likely prevail over
large landed countries in the temperate
zone, located far from the seas, while
an excess of cool rains will probably
occ~r on and about the sea coast coun
tries during the same term. These ab
normal irregularities of the seasons o.
1879 must affect the crops in mauy an(
great parts Of the earth during tht
| year.

a Sad Affair.

Early last Saturday morning news
reached here that one Mr.. Gregory had
come to his death on the day before at
the hands of Dir. Kent, about fouE
ailes from Palouse City. The facts,
as far as We we're able to learn them,
are brief and as follows: 1t seems that
the two m.n had some words regarding
the right to certain log stable. About
noon on Friday the two men met at the
stable, when words passed betwe N
them. Gregory asked Kent if it were
not true that he Kent) had called him
fool Kent replied that It was not
true, but that he had said if Gregory
claimed to have built that stable he was
liar. At this Gregory told Kent he
must take that back, at the same time
coming at him with clnb. Kent had
an AK in his hand, with which he struck
Gregory blow on the arm, as he says.
to cripple him. Kent thea left, nc,
supposing he bad inflicted a fatal injury.
Some parties near the scene at the time
came to Mr.. Gregory's assistance, and
thinking the wound a serious one I'm.

arrived in the town. Kent was arrest

Gray. 4 grand banquet was given
recent ly ar Highland Park "a suburb
Of Chlcago) to DR.. Gray, who has just
received from the French government
in recognition Of his genius the title
and decoration OF Chevaher OF the he-
eion Of Honor. The banquet and re
cop.ion were rendered by his fellow
citizens at Highland hall, and were
brilliant aud successful in all their ac
compartments. There were present
some three hundred Invited guests. The
young ladies Of Highland hall assisted
not Only by their presence. bnt by the
presentation to pr Gray Of an exquisite.
ly wrought boquot, representing the
French cross surmonptei hy crown--
the insight Of The Legion Of Honor.
The supper was altogether worthy oil
the occasion, and the postprandial part
was not only most enjoyable, but was a
fitting tribute to the modest worth OF
the man Of science. the honorei invent.
or, the benefactor Of his race. A his
tric paper was read by 5. II, Bingham
Esq, in which extracts we're made from
the caveat filed in the United States
paten: Office BY DR.. Gray, Feb. II
1876, distinctly setting forth all the
essential features of the telephone. i
was not until January. 1867, almost ;
year later, that Prof Bell made appli
caticn for pateut covering nearly the
same specifications; and yet, strange tt
say, Prof Bell got the patent, and th'
slow process Of the courts must be re
sorted to in order to establish the pri
ority of Dir. Gray's claim. The gov
erument officials say. in excuse, tha
DR.. Gray's papers were overlooked.
