a comparison of the synopsis
with the indications in the bulletin
taken in connection with the local
signs, will, at any hour, enable very
useful forecasts to be made Of antic-
pated changes of the weather. These

up in conspicuous place, mot be-
hind counter in store but out
side for the public, where everyone
can see in what district the bulletin

trict indications" will affect the iV-
cality.
The indications for the Ohio
Valley and Tennessee viii apply
well for Somerset and Cambria
counties, but for Blair and Bedford,
being located on the east side of the
Alleghenies, there will naturally be
some difficulty in predicting on ac-
count of the loca, influences produc-
ed by these mountain tops Still,
farmers and others interested there,
by knowing the predictions for the
Ohio Valley and Tennessee can be
profited to great extent in connec
ton with their knowledge of local
signs, governing the weather or the
east side of the mountain ranges

added the Pittsburgh list Of those

the following bills in .
Congress
To restore the name of Elizabeth I
Albright to the pension roll grant
ny pension to Noah Cation; grant
ng a pension to Edward Eastman
md granting a pension to Daniel
Long, all of Somerset County. They
we're referred to the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, where the merits
If each case will be enquired into.
In the course OF human events
he bills will be returned to the
House with favorable or uni4vora-
Die recommendations, and placed
DE- the calander for action. This is
low work, and if bills are never
,eard of again, after being referred
o the Committee on Pensions, il IS
principally because the merits OF toe

developed on careful examination
If the papers on file II is very
'asy matter 10 draw up bill and

nittee to work upon.

ire him to look up cases at the Pen
