Climate in Old and New England.

Taking a broad and comprehensive
view of the English climate the year
round, do not know how can better
describe the situation than by saying
each month in the English year is but a
reproduction of the corresponding New
England month very much milder
drawn. This is best shown by going a
little into details. The hottest months
in England are July and August, the
same as with us; yet in England the
mean temperature of July and August
is about sixty degrees. January and
December are England coldest months;
yet the mean temperature is about
thirty degrees. 1t is said that the tenn
rerature that is the most conducive to
the physical prosperity of the human
race is be ween fifty and sixty degrees.
The temperature of Great Britain, year
in and year out. comes nearest to this
standard of any country on the face of
the ca tn. l should say that September
and October in England were very like
September and October in New England,
with the exception that October is not
quite as cold as our October; and that
their September Is not liable to show in
it's early days any of those hot spells
that so often characterize the first part
of our September. November in En-
g and. as with us, is a gloomy month,
but colder there than here; February in
England is chilly, damp month; March
is a warm edit on of our March.
There are some common English saw
ings which emphasize some of its char
acteristics. For instance, March:
Many weathers;n or another expression,
often heard in England, among out-of-
door workers, which is very apt one,
as applied to an English March day. is

expression well calculated to give one
an idea of the way sunshine and clouds,

bibed at home very many false ideas
about the country. For illustration,
had always supposed that an immense
amount of rain fell there, and that a
large proportion of the days of almost
any season there were rainy ones. /

ened by the constant re.teration of the
story of some gentleman going to En-
gland to see the country for ninety DAYS
and finding every one of those ninety

and in all that time had for the most
part clear skies above me and saw bat
little rain. What rains there were were
light When it does rain in England
it seems to rain easily and quietly, and
their rains do not seem so penetrating
as ours. Figures prove that the rain
fall in England is less than in the
Unite States. The average annual
rainfall at Cambr dge, Mass, is report
ed at til rty eight inches; in Ohio, thir-
ty-six inches; in England, thirty two
inches.-CoT. Boston Journal.

EVERY davis telegraphio intellipenc,

EVERY days telegraphic intelligence
brings its own sickening list of robberies,
murders and suicides, SO that it seems
almost invidious to select any one day
for special mention. What growing
laxity in morals, and an increasing in
diligence in crime are bringing US to, it
is difficult to predict. In it may be seen
some reason for the remarkable increase
of instances in which the impatient pop
ulace anticipate the legal trial of the
criminal aud execute summary vengeance
by their own hand. This prevalence of
lynching undoubtedly has it's source in
an impression, true or false, that the
laws are powerless to convict or that the
authorities are slow to execute the pun
ishment which justice seems to demand.

The totals give 491 enrolled; average per
cent of daily attendance, 97.6, and GO cases
of tardiness The enrolment is the largest
for any one term in the history of the
schools. The per cent of daily attendance
indicates good attendance, while our tardy
list, am sorry to say, shows an increase,
though not large, over the corresponding
terms of the last three years. This would
be in part accounted for by the increased
enrolment, but for the most part pupils or
parents are responsible for it. The work of
the term, in all of the departments, has, l
think, been substantially done, and there
has beep but little in any way to mar the
good results sought by teachers and pupils.
There have been no expulsions or suspen-
pensions during the term, Dame Rumor's
report notwithstanding, and for good work
honestly done, the teachers and pupils de-
serve the rest they are now enjoying.
Owing to removal from town, sickness
and withdrawal of some foreign pupils to
attend school at home, there were thirty
seven pupils withdrawn during the term,
some of whom are expected to return some
time during the year. There were 90 for
eign students enrolled during the term, in
creasing the school fund to the amount
of $227.
The closing exercises of the schools were
up to the usual standard in interest and
preparation on the part of teachers and
pupils, and the number q visitors was
about as large as usual.
The Winter Term viii begin the sth of
January, and parents are urged to see that
the pupils are ready for work the first day
of the term We wish a full attendance
the first session, so there will be no back
work for tardy ones.

the excitement of the adventure of de-
scending the shaft of a mine in a cage.
One of those occasional breaks occurred at
Dortmund, Prussia, on the Goth inst, in
which cage containing twenty-five per

state how many of them were killed,

supposition that Inconsistencies takes
place through sufocation before the period
of conclusion.

Next Week at Ford,s,

"Viya" is bright, picturesque play, which
deals with the fortunes OF two wandering Ital-
ian street singers, brother and sister, who are
impersonated by Louis and Alice Harrison, re.
spectively. 1t is admirably adapted to tho
special line In which the Harrlsons have won
their regulations, and while full of comic op.
portunitles, abounds In pathetic touches and
strong situations, which appeal TO the deeper
emotions and keep the sympathy and interest
OF the audience enlisted to the end. The warm
italian colorng and alterations Of sunshine
and shadow set or the dramatic action in an
appropriate and effective manner, and are
calculated to give the play more than ordinary
popularity. Miss Alice Harrison Is a romark-
ably bright actress, and shows that she can
take higher and stronger flights than even her
past successes in other roles could have lod
her friends TO anticipate. The same may be
said OF Mr.. Louis Harrison, whose impersona.
ton OF Carlo evidenced dramatic force and
talent in character that would be trying
10 oven the most experienced Interpreter of
intense situations. Tho songs, dances and
delightful drolleries for which the Harrlsons
are famous are introduced at appropriate
points, and give additional brightness - tho
