G. vennor, in letter to a newspaper in Otta-
wa, Canada, Of the 23rd Of June, says:
81 believe that the present summer is one in
. triad of similar summers, probably the mid
die one. It Ia likely to resemble that of 1850.
and to differ in some of its minor details. The
approaching month of July will give great
deal OF rain, as in 1880, over large portion Of
the United States and Canada, while In Great
Britain the weather will in all probability be
stormy and wet The storms Of wind. thunder.
and lightning are likely to be severe and fire.
quent. The heaviest rains for New York and
vicinity would locate after the 20th and proba-
bly, on the 2lst or I'D dates; between the 10th
and 18th days an exceedingly hot term is likely
to be experienced in both the United States
and Canada: Within few days from the close
of the month, probably about the 9th or 18th.
q cold wave will occur carrying frosts In Can
ada and cool weather generally, with storms
OF wind and rain throughout the United States.
Where storms have been severely felt in the
Western and Southwestern States during June,
there also will the severe storms of July be ex-
perienced Notwithstanding these frequent
and severe storms during the month, frequent
alterations of fine hot weather will counter.

in general in the West. The entrance Of July
in Canada, and also to q considerable extent In
the United States, will be- cool and showery,

A VALUABLE INVENTION Our -towpstnan,
DR.. Frank L. Harris. has recently discovered
mode Of dissolving bone, which, to our mind,
bids fair to be of great importance to the farm
ing and agricultural community, as we'll as de-
cidedly valuable to the Doctor in a financial
way, should it eventuate -ss appearances now
lead one to suppose & will. TIE discovery rs
process by which he can dissolve or reduce q
fresh or dry bone to impalpable re w6er, v itIip
ut least ten hours, without the aid OF acids
The advantage of this process over the chemi-
cal mode is, that it does not destroy any Of the
phosphates of lime or carbonate Of lime and
being in an impalpable powder, the bone en-
tiers at once into food for the plant for which 1t
Is used. The discovery will be known as "Dr.

to give our readers some definite information

A SAD DEATH.-A few weeks ago the family
of Mr.. Charles R. Paxson visited their friends
near Boston, and took with them Mr.. Prs little
grandson. Charles Paxson Christian, only child
of Col. Bolivar and Margaret Christian. On
Monday. the 10th ult., the child was attacked
with diphtheria of q malignant type; his ply
stefan advised his mother to return home with
him. She arrived here on Thursday evening,
and on Saturday morning. 18th, death came to
the relief Of the little sufferer.
The death Of this bright little boy, Of such
fiatter1ng promise, the centre Of the hopes and
the light Of the household, and the joy of
friends, is truly q sad afi1iction. Ithas touched
deeply the sympathies Of the community, who
share the burthen of sorrow it has laid upon
the hearts of those who most tendeTly loved
him. His remains were buried in the Lees
burg Cemetery on Sunday evening; a large
number of our citizens attended. Beautiful
flowers were profusely strewn upon his grave
emblems Of love and affection for the little
sleeper.
'Heaven lies about us in our infancy"
A friend" in noticing his death in the Mr.
ror. says:
Charlie was noble little misunderstanding
the early sign Of maturer traits with the un-
ligent childhood. He was q thorough little
every one. he bound to him in strong attach
all loved him-all even those who knew him
less. were interested in him. Everybody knew
him, end he was the pet Of the place-his
forward look-his vigorous little form. and
kindly manner, made him welcome to all, and
all felt an interest in him. He was manly
boy, and his childhood gave.pr0mise of future
good. which doubtless his maturer years would
have fuldlled.-W Washing onian Leesbsssg. Va.

wild Indians at the state Fair.

Commonwealth: A party of twenty
six Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians
under charge of Mr.. o. j. Woodland, of
Cheyenne agency, Indian Territory,
with Capt. @. M. Scott, Indian scout, ar
rived at 8 a. m. Sept. IA, on the Santa
Fe road, with one car load of tent poles,
camp equipage and Indian goods, and
car of thirty ponies. Shortly after their
arrival they camped on the south side
of the Shunganunga and erected their
tents, where they will remain during
the fair. The programme is they shall
give one war dance each day. with now
and then parade, of which
due notice will be given. A large ma
jority of these people are blanket or
plains Indians, familiar with every fea-
ture of Indian warfare and Indian Gus
toms. Some, however, are partially civ
ilized and wear citizens clothes.
Among the latter is Robert Bent, chief
of the Cheyennes, and son of old Col
Bent, known throughout the west for
many years as the founder of Bent's
OAky III SOtOAuuOg du 1nNLAuA lAullCt uilu
peace commissioner in the early history
of this state. Mr.. Bent is an educated,
affable gentleman, who rendered the
government much service as u scout and
interpreter during the Indian wars of
former days, but now confines himself
to raising cattle and farming.
The following is list of their names
with the English meaning:
Ma-tan.we-kin, BLACK Plume); Am
na-han, Flying High; Oweshee,
young Snipe); Wee-uchs, (Warrior);
Mi-ah, Bloody MANI; He-ema-ah-a,
(Man Above); Yeo-wista, yellow Shirt
Mah-ke ana, big Eagle; Happa-we-
hun-a, Glttle Chief; Robert Bent and
Water Matches.
The above are Cheyennes, with seven
women and three children.
Jacob Zolloweger is the husband of
one squaw and father of one little girl,
Katie. He was a trapper for many
years in the far west and finally married
into the tribe. The company rode in wag-
ons from Cheyenne Agency to Arkansas
City, distance of $50 miles, and took
the cars at that place for Topeka, where
they are provided for by the Fair Asso-
citation who sent for them. 1t was the
desire of the Association TO have almost
double the number of wild Indians, and
double the number started, but the report
got out among them that it was only a
trick TO get them up here where they
would be captured and sent to Carlise
Barracks in Pennsylvania, and almost
half of the party returned.
On their way up they recognized the
country around Wichita, where they
once held treaty with the whites. and
some remember the location of Topeka,
where in former days they visited the
Pottawatomies.

bath School Convention, at Emporia,

State. Prominent Sunday school work
ers, not only of Kansas, but from abroad,

inois, Sunday school men of national
reputation. The people of Emporia are
erecting large tabernacle which will
accommodate six thousand people for
the sessions of this convention,
and while free entertainment can
not be provided for that num-
Der, arrangements will be effected by
which the expense of those attending
will be reduced to the very minimum.
A rate of two cents per mile has been Sc
cured on the A. T. s. S. F. r. r., with
additional reduction for all living over
