THE TRANslT OF VENUS.

Venus' brig BIT orb darkened the Suns face
yesterday. Everywhere over the world, sci
enti6c men made great preparations for OBJ
servations. The distance between the earth
and sun will probably be definitely settled
by these observations. Venus and the sun
are not often in such intimate relation to
each other, the next transit will not occur
until June Z, 2OO4 The transit OF Venus
can only occur in June or December, and at
an interval OF 8, lO51, 1l33 and 1911 years.
The last transit took place December 8. 1874
Looking through q smoked glass Venus sp-

H. Gilch rist has the contract for building
80 miles Of wire fence for the Dominion Cat
tie Company in the Panhandle. Six persons
will be engaged in building the fence which
will be completed in April next The costs
will be set two rods apart and the fence vii.
contain four wires. II will require $3.50
posts and As. 900 pounds Of wire to construct
this ience.. The poets valued at 10 cents and
the wire at Is cents per pound, and the con-
struction at 10 cents per rod, would make
the total cost Of the fence sS,334, or about
$3.50 per mile. These figures will not vary
much from the actual cost. The posts can
be obtained conveniently but the transporta-
tion Of the wire is big item. The fencing
in the Panhandle is for the protection of the
range and the guarding Of siock, but they
will interfere in the driving Of stock. Some
fences are bull; On lands belonging 20 the
Stale or Government, the ranchmen claim
ing the right by custom or priority, but the
removal of many of the fences msy be a
question OF the future.

S. G. BIBLE SoCIETY.-In conse-
quence of the death of Mr.. Thomas
S. Sangster, who was chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Stephens
City Bible Society, there has been no
meeting of that Committee since last
February until December 5, when a
meeting was held at the call of the
President of the Society, Mr.. @. A.
Shannon.
Capt. w. Z. FARMLAND, having been
appointed by the President to succeed
Mr.. Sangster as member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, was elected chair
man thereof at this meeting. In view
of the rapid approach of the close OF
the year, the Committee can do little
else than prepare for the Anniversary
occasion, which preparation involves
a good deal of labor.
Eleven o'clock, A. M, on the 9th
Sunday of the month (December) was
fixed as the time for the Annual Meet
ing, aid it will be held in the Metho-
dist Church in Stephens City.
Measures were adopted to secure
good music, good speaking, and good
meeting generally, and it is believed
the occasion will be one of unusual
interest.
The Executive Committee will meet
again next Tuesday, December IL, at
8 P. NJ, at Steele & Bro. s counting
room, when all the committees hereto
fore appointed are expected to report.
