Editors Herald:
How is it that the time OF com
mencement is so seldom inserted il
the theatre advertisements in the
HERALD and NeI0s?
In the HERALD OF this morning are
three theatre observation-disclosures oil
Professor Proctor's lecture, another
OF the consolidated Minstrels, and the
third for the grand carnival for the
Hebrew school fund. In neither OF
these advertisements is the time OF
commencement given. The public
Is left to guess the time. Why il
this thus? Is time of no value to
theatre-goerei 1t is OF come value to
me. Why should not the time Of
Of every theatrical
performance, lecture, ball, or public
meeting OF any kind. be stated def
nitely in every advertisement OF the
same, 90 that the public may econo
mize its time as much as possible,
instead of being left in the DARK, and
thus being very liable to 90 too soon
or too late, and consequently either to
miss a part OF the entertainment or TO
waste precious time which otherwise
might and should be put to profitable
use2
Let US have the time specified. as
q prominent feature, in every sd-
Of the kind, for such 9
specification would often be q great
to the public. Be-
sides, it is miserable management,
bad business, not to be able to ar
range definitely the hour OF COM
OF q public entertain
ment. II the hour can be arranged
beforehand, why can not it be pub
lished beforehand Where's the ber-
Eft in keeping it secret and the pub
lie in suspense till the last momentf
II people are good guessers, they
don't like TO be left to guess every
thing. Give us the time, always.

ThermOmetrieal Observations.

During the early days here, from
1S47 to 1913, W. G. stAines, Esq +,
one OF the pioneers. kept diary, and
every day for several months took
thermometrical observations, which
be entered in his diary each day.
These observations would have been
continued for a much longer period
but some Individual broke mis- Their
mometer, and these articles being
scarce in those days, he was forced
to forego a continuation of his notes.
The following is from diary kept by
Mr.. Stsiues during the period between
November 1st, 1S47. and February
1st, 1S4S:
Highest, LoiUest,
November 1900. $40 l5s below freezing
Decemb Der ......... $50 20o
Janusry... ......... 48e 15e
February was mild and fine, so much
so that many planted and soWed seeds in
/ their garden, some thinking that we
would have but little more cold weather,
and they planted corn, beans, cucumbsrsr
squash, etc. In March, We had very
f1e and pleasant weather; also in April,
until the 23rd, when it commenced to
rain and snow, and continued doing sc
for eight days aud nights. After this We
hsd q few nights severe frost sufficient
to show us we had started gardening 8
few weeks to early. TRAINED, and showed
longer, and there wss more Of it than
have ever known since"
This serves to show that while the
recent rain may have been the longes
and sever5st OF its kind, the moisture
which fell during the period men
toned in Mr.. Staines' diary, was ia
lin excess.

The raw sugar market during the past
month has been affected by the uncertain
ty respectiu@ The beet crop, which Mr..
LIGHT now estimates at 1,1I0,000 tons or
about 10000 tons over that Of last year.
Prices towards the middle OF the month
improved, and close at Gd. advance on
most kinds of Raw sugar, but with a de
pressed tone and doWnward5tcndency.
Mr.. LIGHT, in summing up his estimates
from all parts of the world, says: "TheSo
statistics present the article and its future
un%interruptedly in a bright light, for the
considerable surplus III consumption OF the
previous campaign has remained as little
unchanged as the proportions OF imports
and stocks. The prospects Of a month
ago, of a surplus of $4,000 tons III the pro-
duction Of beet sugar have dwindled into
almost nothing, OF account Of the i'll state
of the weather, while, on the other hand,
the new season gives hopes of a surplus of
100000 tons Of Colonial sugar; but this,
with the actual increase i'll the consump-
ton Of sugar, and in view of the reduced
stocks, certainly cannot cause any anXiety.o
lie also indicates that the weather may
still affect the result OF the beet harvest
untdyourably.
On the Doth November, the imports of
1881, compared with those of 1880, ut the
same time, showed an increase Of about
65.250 tons. The deliveries in the same
dates exceed those of 1880 by about 40,400
tons. The stocks Of sugar on the 10Th
November, were about $3.50 tons greater
than at the same time in 1880, and about
1900 tons less than at the same time i'll
1879.
Prices are now from IS. to IS. Cd, higher
than those obtainable at this time last

President Garfield.

At this writing the gravest apprehension' exist as to the fate of President Garfield From state of comparative hopefulness made so by the encouraging reports of tho doctors in attendance, the country is plunged into one of uncertainty and alarm. The immediate cause for the change seems to be the inability of the President to digest and assimilate the nourishment necessary to sus. tain his system while undergoing it's terrible strain. Sunday was bad day for him, and on Monday he was worsei his pulse was lSO, vomiting set in, and his temperature was con- siderably less than normal. The case is ex eeedingly critical, and while hope is not dead, the chances for his recovery are of the slendersst nature.
