THE weather recently has been very
pleasant and favorable to the farmers
for gathering in their crops of corn,
potatoes and buckwheat, all of which
are good in this county. The fields OF
corn stand thick with shocks, now
being husked and taken in. The buck
wheat is being threshed and the flour
put into market, fact very pleasing
to all lovers of our world-renowned

We know very well that it is fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that

when 1t first makes its appearance or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to be here

General Townsend smiled when
asked him about j n. Davis clothing,

bitter sectional feeling in Congress,
that everything of this sort was seiz-

his own views were well known, aud
he had no desire to conceal them, he
did not think it was his duty, or that
it was right for him TO use his Office
or any OF the documents or archives

had no objection to telling the his

Then We strolled into the gardens

which the prince took pleasure in
showing the general, and which
looked airy and beautiful in the rosy
shadows OF the descending sun.
There were beds OF flowers and trees,
and the coming night, which comes
so swiftly in these latitudes, brought
cooling breeze. Then His High
ness gave Us each a photograph OF
his royal person consecrated with
his royal autograph, which he wrote
on the top Of marble railing. Then
we strolied toward the grand hall

Atmospheric Electricity.

Professor Everett has published in
the Proceedings OF the Belfast So
ciety lecture delivered by him on
January ., 1878, on atmospheric
electricity. He sums up our knowl-
edge as follows: There is no other
meteoroiogic element, except perhaps
the wind, that can compare with
electrical potential for the extent and
sudJenness of its variations. On
some rare occasions, with no assign
able external cause, and notwith-
standing the mitigating action of he
collector which eases off al sudden
changes, the peedle OF the electrome-
ter swings from side to side with a
violent trembling like that OF mag
neiic needle in q strong field. As re-
CARDS the variation of potential ac-
cording 10 the season OF the year,
all observations concur in showing
that the average strength OF poten-
tial is greater in winter than in sum-
mer, but the months of maximum and
minimum appear TO differ consider
ably at different places. The Chief
maximum occurs in some one of the
winter months, the chief minimum
occurs everywhere in May or June
the average potential in the strong
est month is about double of that iu
the weakest. As regards the vari-
alton ef potential with the hour OF
the day, the Kew observations show
a double maximum in the twenty
four hours The hours OF maximum
are, in July. 8 d. IN. and 10 p. nI.; in
January, 10 a. IN. and p. m; and an
the spring and autumn, about . a. m
and 8 p m. The few observations
taken during the recent arctic ,xpe-
dition show that he general features
OF atmospheric electri Try were The
same at the winter quarters OF the
Alert as they are in these te mperatt
regions" He adds that our grear
want at present. is balloon observa
tions. and suggest method by which
such can be made. With regard I,
the origin of atmospheric electIicit,
he says: Il feel convinced that fric
tion either Of the air itself or VI th,
solid or liquid particles contained ia
it against the sulface Uf the earth /,
one cause of the generation of elec
lricity in the Editors Scientif
Record, in Ha,rer's Magazine fo
