TUESDAYS snowfall at Montreal was
five feet, ana this was exceeded in the
vicinity Of Quebec. Professor Virgins
says the storm was only an arm OF his
predicted cyclone of the next two or
three days. Many wrecks are rumored
to have occurred on the Canadian coast.
A dispatch from Ottawa, Canada, says;
"The severest storm of the season has
been raging since yesterday, and the
country roads are impossible from
drifts"
The officials of the United States sig
nal service express profound contempt
for Virgins and his storm. They say
there mSy be a phenomenal perform
anoe by the elements within two or
three days, but if so, Virgins knows
nothing about it, nor any other human
being Weather prediction is a matter
Of science, not prophecy, and no one
can tell beyond a certain limit what is
indicated. Virgins is pronounced a
fraud, and should his storm arrive on
time, he will simply be considered a
successful charlstan.
Per contra Virgins Gays.

since 1888 came in, the com mercial

Farmers, rs q class, are as seven II
ten in the community, and their I'M
portance in the social, commercial and
political well-being of the nation is in
every way equal to their nun erical
preponderauce, and equally weighty
are their duties and responsibilities.
But association the master agency of
civilization, has not until recently been
called to the aid of the agriculturist.
Association has, perhaps, done more
for the am ehoraton, improvement and
strengthening of other classes thap any
other one thing. But as yet its use Is,
to u considerable extent, unknown
among farmers.
This neglect has been the farmers
loss. To repair this loss is, in part, the
purpose OF tine grange organization.
We may be regarded as a combination
for the protection OF our class, as a
society for mutual improvement, and
as an association for the collection and
dissemination Of useful knowledge,
and having our agencies extending in
every nook and corner OF our land, we
may form some idea of the vast
amount of useful and valuable infor-
nation that may be collected by such
associauou.-Ibr Hpsbandman.

A METEOR OF extraordinary size and
brilliancy shot across the Virginia sky
Sunday morning, exploding with a loud
report and creating intense excitement
in places where 1t WAS seen and heard.
In Louisa county, Va, the windows and
doors were shaken, and many believed
that it was an earth quake. Supersti-
tious negroes who Witnessed the phen-
omenon are greatly exercised to &C
count for its rather extraordinary APP
pearance. At Fredericksburg tie ex-
plosion was followed 10y loud detona-
tons and tremors of the earth. The
lignt WAS very brilliant and of blue
tint. All along the route it travGrsed
persons were awakened by the noise
and shocks.

than any congress, and the sooner the

good reason why the work should not

Other Gossip from Washington
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1883-05-31


a VERY shrewd aud ingenious jew
IN hussia has been dcvoting himself
for the past two years to constructing
clock which was presented to the
Car and Czarina on the day Of the
coronation. At certain hours in the
day it plays the beautiful anthem,
"God Protect the Czar," and gives Il
miniature representation OF the coro-
nation. AS it strikes the hour, two
doors fly open, arid model Of tho
Cathedral of the Assumption in Mos
COW where the ceremony takes place is
discloscd-thcn the gates OF the Cathc-
dral open. In the interior is the
metropolitan of the city, surrounded
by gorgcously robcd dignarics, await
ing tho entrance of tho Car and
CZarjna, and sprinklcs them with holy
water when they arrive at tho altar.
The Gar ttereupon takes the crown
from the hands of the Metropolitan
and places it on his own head, and
then places another crown on the brow
OF his consort, after which the doors of
the Cathedral close. This wonderful
jew certainly has the distinction of
having 'nvcntcd one of the most re-
markablc clocks in tho world.
