As might have been expected, the scientific
gentleman who always predicts a hot and dry
summer is in the field IL is Professor Piazzi
Smith. The Astronomer Laureate Of England,
who leads his contemporaries this season.
He bases his prediction on records kept dur.
ing the last forty years, which show, he
claims. that a great heat-waye comes upon
the eegth once in every eleven years and that
as the last notable hot season was in 1869 It's
return may be expected during the coming
summer, As a sort Of compensation, he an-
nounces that the next winter will be mild and
hospiiable. The ice companies are all right
for this summer but what ayails il il they sell
large quantities this summer and reap no crop

A CLEAR INFERENCE.


 It is too true that most Of the patented medical preparations thrown the market gmanate from men who lay just claim to a profc:~lonal cd ucation and who are. conscqu ntly totally unqual- fled to originate really preparation. But we have pleasure Of stating that We know Ol one except on at least 10 this rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy, ot Rondout N.

MT. Barnum has agnin proved to the public that he never takes n backward Step in the show business. His Great est Show on Earth k superior to any that he or any one else has heretofore offered. show is, perhaps, the only word comprehensive enough to embrace all the features presented. The museum of wonders includes many things inter- astiug from associations of marvellous In tLe Ingenuity of construction, and chief among the living part of 1t is the famous tattoood man. The menagerio is a large and fiuo collection of animals, and em- braces many rare specimens which can not elsewhere he found living on this continent. The circus is made up of a series of thrilling and interesting perfor- mancesand things that arenew and novel and the fact is here exenplitied that there can he something like refinement in the ring. Perhaps the most interesting part of tho performance is the exhibition of q school of twenty trained stations, beau tiful animals, and educated to do their masters will to a wonderful degree. The bareback riding by Madame Dockrill and seven other lady riders is remark ably line and thrilling, and the lcaping by George Bachelor ovor six elephants is something incomprehcnsible until on, secs him do 1t. Then there are otheI trained animals and other riders and other gymnusts and plenty of clowns nnd Mir. Barnum himself, which, alto gcther go to the making of a very com. plcto and very fine show-indeed ''th, groatest on earth"
 Such seems to be the universal .opin ion among all who have seen Barnum' Show this season. He will bring hi. enormous establishment to Dallbury Tuesday. May c.
