This day Tuesday begins the month Of June,
the FIRST month of summer divide the
sons. but judging from the hot weather We have
had during the past two weeks VIC might reason
ably conclude that calendar wrong or that
the clerk Of the weather, like some other Office
holders, Is not dc for the position he holds. The
temperature, however, has been much lower the
past few days and we may yet have that other in
| stallmcnt of frost prophecied by the Montreal
weather man. although IL cannot come in May
predicted, unless the old style be adopted. but
Pope Gregory may have made mistake with his
calendar a. many almanac men have done since
his day and IL so Mr.. Vennor has yet q chance 20
save his reputation. The Popcs infaiIibiliiy Is
only claimed In theology and consequently he may
90 wrong when he goes into almanac making.
We have had a number Of showers lately but
none Of them has given the earth morr than y
pcraciai moisicning. Strawberries are ripening
but have suffered greatly from the dry weather.
Some orchard grass has been cut aud yielded q
fair crop. but clover IL decidedly short much Of Il
not worth cutting. Oats have been somewhat re-
sised by the late rains but the crop generally does
not look promising.
The workmen on the narrow. gauge railroad
have cut through the Powder. Mill road, near
Charles street avenue, and that thoroughfaTc Is
consequently closed for the present, but IL will not
seriously interfere with travel. The company
proposes 10 make a station nj this point aud
other below at Lake avenue. As neither Of these
crossings nj grade they will both be objection
able a. passenger stations and still more for
freight. As IL Is expected that this road will do
large business In coal, lumber, slate. 3c., those
who want these articles will naturally wish these
ut n suitable point for hauling and the Charles
street crossing IL plainly the best place for the
purpose Let us have . station there by all
means.
II seems that the people Of the county are not
ihp anil ftlk ha waI he sha Las
nance Of the City Council imposing . tax
vehicles. A certain Taxpayer" IL very wrathy
about !, and let his ire overflow into the columns
Of the Assriean In the form ola communication in
which he says "the short sightedncss ofour giants
IN council" will stamp baltimore "piaec ofthc
rar.si old fosyism and cnseiopcd in the deepest
zimmerman darkness" lie also expresses the
opinion AMI "thnks he Is perfectly correct" that
no other city in the T. :. ''has been guilty Of such
utter folly. lie further more regards !, Is 'most
CALLING and irritating" that the rich and pros.
porous merchant should be compelled io nail u
number ON his elegant family carriage ss II IL were
an Arab wagon or garbage cart, and should have
NJ choice a. the color Of the tinplatc this i'm
r"rtHnt matter being left entirely 90 the aesthetic
eye of the fellow who daubs them for the city aud
who. OF couFse. aill get them up in the cheapest
ani most uaariisiic manner possible ITO he
compelled under penalty to dishgure What IL ha.
ro.t - mueh TO beauty. Taxpayer thinks il
l. enough To- drive man To- suicide cause him
T. sell cut his costly equipa-c aud 60 aioot the
rect oi hs days. lie therefore calls On the City
Council g. repeal this oiiou' aud oppressive ord-
nance 'as they meet sgain'-but Why not
ca;i a spccial session at tor the purpose.
Taxpayer then concludes BY saying tina; 'these
sorts Of city pecuiiari;ics" and "such taxation
crpf. are Wha; drive people out into the much
abasci belt hut unfortunately the belt is NJ
