Vennor's predictions are certainly becoming
respectable, and it will not do to scout them 10
future. The small boy is sliding on the frog
pond on the Common and the big boys are
skating on other ponds all before the regula-
ton period. The Old weather guagers, who as
general thing went out of business when "Old
PROBABILITIES" came In. are taking the liberty OF
predicting hard winter in this section, but
don't think 1t will be felt more keenly than the
present cold snap, as it came suddenly. From
this time forward the Ice king Will gradually
blow his arctic airs and freeze us up gracefully.
Politics boom again In this latitude, munt-
c1pal politics this time. Boston Is agitated
somewhat on the question of the mayoralty.
