Take Your Choice-Proe yepnor

Take Your Choice Vennor
the Canadian weather prophet, says there
will be universal snowfalls and very cold
weather this winter. On the other hand,
Mr. A. ]. Defoe, the weatherwise man OF
Hackensack, New York, predicts much
rain and mild weather all winter. He says
the ice men are going to have a bad year.
There will be no long continued cold, and
ice will be as scarce next season as it was
last summer. His forecast of the winter
sent to the New York Farmers Club on the
LIST of October, was as fellows: "a dry fall !;
mild in this section. Heavy northeast storms
and snow in the Western and Southern
States. Heavy southeast winds and rain
over the lake region. Great snowfalls in the
northwest Not so much snow in New Jer-
sey and lower New York as in North Caro-
lima during the winter. The winter here
will be comparatively mild. In nearly all
storms there will be southwest winds, wit h
rain"
The prophecy of Prof Vennor for the
month of December is very different. He
says "there will probably be some snow from
about the 4th of the month. With the Sec
ond quarter Of the month colder weather
will probably set in with falls of snow. The
farmers will be able to enjoy sleigh rides in
the cold, exhilerating air, but good sleighing
need not be expected until after the middle
of the month. There will be spell OF mild
weather about the 18th and 14th. After
brief interval of mild weather, during which
more snow will fall, the third quarter of
the month will probably see clustering and
cold weather--a cold snap with heavy snow
storms and consequent good sleighing.
Very cold weather may be expected dur
ing this quarter. The last quarter of the
month will bring milder weather-in fact,
the heaviest snowfall will be toward the end
of the month, and snow blockades may be
looked for, the snowfalls extending far
southwark, possibly as far as Washington,
with very stormy weather around New York
and Boston,

First Sunday In A dYent.=Su

first sunday In Advent.-Sunday last
commenced once again the annual renewal
of holy season that make up what is known
as the christian Year" Sunday was dis
tinguished in the church calendar as the
First Sunday in Advent season which
from very remote times has been observed in
the Christian Church as preparatory TO the
great Festival of Christmas. The advent
season" embraces the few Sundays which
Immediately precede Christmas, and are de-
voted to the special presentation and eluc-
dation of these grand themes: The second
coming Of Christ and the final Judgment;
the Divine inspiration of the holy scripture,
and the duty Of studying them and conform
ing to their teachings; next, the Gospel
ministry, as sent to prepare and make ready
for the second coming of Christ, and lastly,
the great duty Of repentance and amend
ment of life as the only fit preparation for
the reception Of Christ the Saviour "Ad-
vent" as these would imply, is always a
season of peculiar solemnity in the Episco-
cal Church The people are taught, in the
language Of the Liturgy, TO pray that God
would give them grace to cast away the
works of darkness, and to put upon them
the armor Of light now In the time of this
mortal life in which His Son Jesus Christ
came to visit the world in great humility, so
that in the last day, when He shall come
again in glorious majesty to Judge both the
quick and dead, His people may rise to the
life immortal, through Him who livcth and
reigneth now and forever.-Fred. Examiner.

knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build
ing, in Baltimore, has been adorned with a
new coat of Knights beautiful Enamel Paint,
and looked appropriate in its holiday attire
during the sesqui-centennial week Its cheap
ness, beauty and durability are three points
that give it u preference over all others. BY
practical painters it is said to be the best in
use, and we are inclined to agree with them,
for that placed upon our office is as bright
and compact as when first put on during the
past summer. Those who are in need of
paint we invite TO examine the difference in
beauty and durability between the Enamel
Paint and lead and oil upon our dwelling
house and office. The lead and oil upon the
house-though put there at the same time
the Enamel was put on the oflice-is dingy,
spotted and blstered. See advertisement in
our paper.

the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which
it would be wise for all to consider: "Ex-
cept at crossings, where the public have u
right of way, man who steps his foot upon
railroad track does so at his peril The
company has not only the right of way, but
it is exclusive at all times and for all pur-
poses. II also ought to be equally well un-
derstood that parents who permit their child

are guilty of negligence. 1t is not only
gross but culpable negligence, as it imperils
the lives of the children so trespassing, as
also the lives of the travelling public"

An Ent erprising Firm-The man.
moth advertisement of Willet 81 Libby,
lumber merchants, of Washington, appears
this week on the first page of the SENTINEL.
These gentleman began business a few years
since on rather limited scale, but persever-
ing industry, answering honesty and strict
attention TO business soon gave them to un-
derstand that they had greatly moderated
the appreciation of the public, for they had
to establish two more yards to accommodate
their rapid increase ofbusiness. Their yards
are now located at Sixth street and New
York avenue, Sprague's Square, and North
ern Liberty Market Square situated so as
TO be convenient for customers and the re-
ception of lumber at their immense yards.
new feature in their establishment, and
one that will be of immense service to both
the firm and those purchasing with the in
tention of building dwellings or other struc-
lures, is the fact that they have employed a
first-class architect, who will give desired
drawings and furnish estimates for any de-
sired edlice the customer may elect, free Of
charge. BY this arrangement man can as
certain to "a certainty the exact cost Of the
lumber and the design OF his building, which
are the first two great considerations when
about t9 commence Improvements of this
nature either on the farm or in town.
Another laudable feature is that of their
published price list, a departure that is sell
dom made by lumber dealers, and in cases
like this it is of immense service to our
friends in the country when they desire a
certain lot OF lumber for fencing or repairs,
as they can ascertain the exact amount they
may need and go prepared to pay for what
they want when they leave their orders.
Read their advertisement, and if you need
anything in their line give them a call you
will find them gentlemen and square dealers
in every particular.

Circulating Library-several wears

circulating Libfary.-Several years
since some of our enterprising citizens in
augurated a movement which finally result
ed in the establishment of choice and well
selected library of standard. authors-em-
oracing historical, philosophical and poetical
literature,as well as some of the best authors
OF fiction. For several years this institution
remained in vigorous and Furnishing con-
dition and most of our reading community
availed themselves of its advantages.
From some cause or other this spirit Of
intellectual improvement gradually died out,
and several hundred volumes of substantial
and interesting reading matter have for a
long time been allowed to slumber in the
secrecy of profound seclusion.
We are satisfied that the same generous
spirit which prompted these gentlemen in the
organization of this library, would willingly
respond to any reasonable proposition by
which the community can again have re-
course to the same.
We would suggest that our Lyceum ap-
point committee at its next meeting to
confer with the officers or incorporators of
the library, to ascertain if arrangements can
not be made, which will enable them to pur-
chase or get possession of the same. Now
that the Lyceum is weekly discussing all
character of literary subjects, as well as in
the selection of choice pieces for reading
&c, this library would furnish all the infor-
nation its members may desire, and by rea-
son of the character of the authors their
perceptions will be quickcned, their imagi-
ton enlarged, their views polished and
strengthened-thus armed and equipped they
will be able to enter the arena of discussion,
conscious that they have something to offer
more tangible than high-fown words.
