NOTWITHSTANDING all the trouble in the
iron regions of Pennsylvania, the reports
submitted at the recent meeting of the
Western Iron association at Pittsburg, show
that the business is steadily improving,
and that while prices are low, stocks are
not accommodating. This indicates good
healthy state of trade, and it is to be hoped
that no other complications or disturbances
will occur this winter. Any trouble in one

August will be another month of
storms and unusual rainfall with one or
two remarkably low curves of temper
AZURE. expect snowfalls will be re-
corded in extreme western and north
ern sections, and cold rains at more
southerly stations shortly after the
middle Of the month. October will be
very similar, but of course colder.
September is likely to be counter
balancing month Of this most unpropi-
tious season, and during this month
everything should be done that can be,
to house things safely against further
wet and storm.
In the Middle and Northern United
States and Canada, the weather is also
likely to continue wet up to a late pc
Rod, but two OF more wintry belts of
weather with snow-falls, are likely to
be experienced in the latter portion of
October and in November, after which
rain will again set in. At New York
the autumn will be very wet. In the
Northwest early cold and advanced
snow falls are likely to be conditions,
while in December the cold may be in

anecdote. A relative Of mine was a
playfellow of Sir Garnet Wolsely, and
she says he was remarkable, as boy,
for an iron will and bulldog tenacity
of purpose. One day he climbed a tree
to get an especially tempting apple,
but the branch breaking, he fell and
broke his arm. Setting his teeth, he
started up the tree again, with the
broken limb dangling by his side he
got the apple, and tainted from pain on
reaching the ground Sir Garnet is an

backache quicker with one Of Carter's

Plasters, than by any other application,
and after the backache is cured you can
still wear the plaster without discomfort
for two or three weeks longer. This
combination of Smart Weed and Bella

A Fair RedistrIctlng Plan.

The Democratic members Of the
Legislature has had prepared a re-
districting bill. We believe the bill
to be fair one, as it makes an equal
distribution Of the districts between
the two parties, according to the vote
cast by each. 1t gives the Republi-
cans eleven districts and the Demo-
Gratis ten, and the districts are as con-
venient and compact as they can be
made. OF course the bill cannot be-
come a law, as the Legislature is two
thirds Republican, and that party is
determined 70 gerrymander the State
so as to get all the Congressman they
can. They snapp their fingers at
fairness and justice, and the Demo.
cra.s will probably be given five out OF
the twenty-one districts. How we'll
