Mr.. venuor, the weather prophet

Dead Henry G.. Vennor died on Sunday
last, aged 43 years. He was the first of the
present group of weather prophets, and the
least sensational among them. He made a
study OF the course of storms for many years,
and reached his guesses by comparing at
mospherc conditions at the time with SINH
lar ones in the past. He was most success
full in his local predictions, and did not at
any time seek to startle a nation or a hemis-
phere with a prophecy of frightful disturb
ances, He was born in Montreal, and, after
graduating from McGill College, continued
to study in special directions He was an
authority on the habits of birds and ami
mails, took part in the geological survey of
Canada, made notable collections of birds,
and finally became interested in mining.
He published II book called "Birds Of Prey"
He did not attempt to make money from his
weather prophecies.

morning in st. Mary's Catholic Church,
this town, under the direction of the Lazarsts
Fathers, Rev. Father Donohoe and Rev.
Father Lelevre, and closed last night. The
services were edifying and evidently deeply
appreciated by the large congregations in

of the Mission have IN experience of twelve
years in this particular vocation and it is
easy 10 perceive that their zeal increases
under the constant pressure of their labors.
Both possess II very rare order OF talent, and
their Sermons are marked with degree of
earnestness and ability which commands
not only the attention but the serious CON

RESOLUTIONS.

| RESOLUTIONS.
"rhe Representatives of the Democratic
Conservative party Of Mary land, in conven
ton assembled, do hereby adopt the follow
ing Resolutions as indicating the opinions
OF th 1t party in this State upon the questions
now before the people of the United States
First That we adhere with renewed zeal
to the well-considered declarations of the
Natiopal Democratic Convention of 1876
and $780, and we demand reform in every
department of the national government, but
we affirm that mo reform is possible SO long
as the government is directed by party
which is under the dominion OF false doc.
trines, and animated by enormous pecu-
mary interests in the perpetuation of exist
ing abuses. The first eifectua step in the
reform Of our government must be Il lunda-
mental change in the policy of its admira-
tion.
Second. That every branch of the national
government shall be conducted upon prin-
ciples OF the strictcst economy, and no more
revenue shall be raised than is actually re-
quircd for the proper expenses OF the gov
eminent and for the gradual extinction OF
the public debt, and therefore, we insist upon
revision and simplification of the present
bhIli anu SuCl ituuCJiOl bllt biACS NllCil
are levied upon an overburdened people as
wi Il relieve the treasury OF the large surplus
which now annually accumulates therein,
and is standing temptation To eXtrava-
gance and corruption; that no duty should
be imposed upon any article above the low
est rate which will yield the largest-am0unt
of revenue; that the maximum revenue
duty should be imposed upon luxuries that
the duties should be SO imposed as to operate
as equally as possible throughout every part
of the Union, and not discriminate either for
against any class or section.
Third. That we denounce any scheme
which proposes to distribute the surplus
revenue OF the treasury among the States as
utterly repugnalrt to the constitution.
Fourth. That we are opposed 10 the sys-
TEN of subsidies by the general government,
under which during the period Of Republic
can ascendency, political combinations and
corporations proGtcd at the peoples ex-
pense.
Fifth. That the Democratic Conservative
party is the friend of labor and the lab ring
man, and it pledges Itself 10 every proper

The Grain Trade.

1t is said that city is not likely
to prosper that depends exclusively
on one kind of trade TO keep up its
commercial Importance. Clarks-
vile has probably depended too
much in the past on the tobacco
trade and it is therefore gratifying
to know that some OF our enterpris-
ing business men are reaching out
in other directions. Messrs. Ken
drick, Pettus & Co., OF the Central
Warehouse, have added a grain
and storage department to their es-
Enlistment for the purpose of hand
ling grain. Mr.. +. 3. Whitfield
will be associated with them in this
branch of their business and will
have it under his entire control. 1t
is their object and intention TO es-
tablish a grain market in Clarks-
vile where the producers of this
section can sell their crops as readily
and as satisfactorily as in the larger
cities of the North West. The en-
terprise will be very useful one to
the fairness in as much as it will
furnish a place of storage for grain
for parties who are not ready to sell.
The gentlemen who have made
this new departure deserve credit
for having inaugurated such an I'M
dertaking and we hope they will be
literally sustained. o..

The Stock Ordinance.

We ere not disposed to make any
captious opposition to the action of
the city authorities or to indulge in
unreasonable criticisms of their
shortcomings, bat we must write
the CHRONICLE down as against
the hog and cow ordinance recently
passed by the Board OF Mayor and
Aldermen. II shOulG be recOnsid-
cred and repealed, or at the least,
restricted in its operation to the
business portion of the city. Clarks-
vile is too small place to enforce
such an ordinance if it was needed.
There are many poor people living
in the outer edge of town who al
most live off of the milk from their
cows. At this season of the year
those cows find good pasture on the
commons and require but little
feeding. 1t is an oppressive law
that compels these people to keep
I'D their stock. The city fathers
probably didn't weigh the matter
before they passed upon it and after
mature reflection, and having OBJ
served some of its ill effects, we
hope they will change their minds.
We learn that a petition is being cir
culated for the repeal of tho law.

The H0lstein Cattle.

Mr.. w. HI. Goodpasture arrived
in New York with his importation
of 40 head of HoIstein Cattle, on
the Both ult., and his cattle are now
in quarantine at Garfield, New
jersey, whence they will be releas-
ed on the 18th of August. Of this
importation about 33 head will
come to Montgomery county and
the remainder will go to Davidson.
Mr.. Goodpasture has spent parts
of two summers in Holland, and is
thoroughly acquainted with the
best breeders and breeding districts.
We are informed that he has pur-
chased, perhaps, the most uniform
ly excellent lot that has ever
been brought to America. He
hasn't bought single animal whose
dam has not a we'll authenticated
record as a great mixer. He made
it point to see both the sire and
dam of every animal purchased,
and where it was practical he saw
the dam MIXED.

A GENTLEMAN writes us from
Pleasant Mound, Tenn, that they
are troubled with mad dogs in that
vicinity. He says: about four
weeks ago Dave Corlew's pointer,
Rhodes went mad and bit many
dogs in this community. Some OF
the parties who owned the dogs
that had been bitten had them kill
ed, some had them confined and
others, / think, did neither. One of
the dogs confined was valuable
dog belonging to Bat Mills. He
went mad yesterday June 8th)
four weeks from the time he was
bitten. Surely sight of him in his
present condition would seal the
fate of every suspected dog In the
country"

astar Of Empire, or Gray and Blue. >

Star of Empire, or Gray and Blue"
Mr.. s. c. Mercer. the sweet poet
of Christian county, now located at
Hopkinsyille, KY, has written a
three act drama with the above
title, founded on the great Cooper
Institute meeting recently held to
take steps TO provide home for
disabled Confederate soldiers. It is
replete with beautiful thoughts and
abounds In witty hits at many of
the follies of the day. The poet
starts out with bevy OF school chill
dren preparing a Flower Festival
for the purpose Of aiding in securing
the Confederate Home. Ex- Federal
and ex-Confederate soldiers while
lookers-on espy among the Sisters
of Charity some of their old hospital
nurses and converse on the subject
OF re-uniting the North and the
New South. In the last scene the
Star of Empire, represented by thir-
ty-eight girls, each one representing
State and reciting an appropriate
piece while they form a floral Star
of Empire. We understand the
drama is to be adapted to the stage
and we feel assured that it will re-
ceive a most fiattering reception
wherever exhibited. The book is
prepared by John P. Morton & Co.,
of Louisville in their best style,
where copies may be purchased.

THE COLoRED SCHOOL.

The closing exercises at the Col
ored public school took place Thurs
day. A CHRONICLE reporter who
was in attendance can truly say
that he never witnessed a more
Interesting or a better conducted
commencement, and he is glad to
testify that the pupils demonstrated
good training and surprising effi-
cheney. We of the white race are
SO accustomed to observing colored
boys and girls in mental employ
ments that it strikes US as a novel
sight when they appear before US
making Rotations, reading essays
and performing creditably on the
piano. To the writer it is, however,
a very gratifying sight and he is
glad to be convinced that they are
capable of making such progress.
The essays read were all compo-
sitions of merit with quotations
and literary references that evinc-
ed the culture of their authors. The
best of these productions according
to our estimate was that read by
Lizzie Ramey, subject "a Purpose
in Lite" ''The Gypsy Countess" a
vocal Duet was admirably execu-
ted by Florence Williams and
Usher Ford. Ella Hurley played
accompaniment to all songs and
also performed some instrumental
solos in good style. Craddock How
ard and Duncan Webster both did
themselves credit in declaiming.
The latter recited "Edingburg after
Flodden" with remarkably good
pronunciation, voice and gesture.
II these young fellows learn to
speak their own thoughts as we'll as
they do other peoples there is no
reason why either of them shouldn't
be a second Fred Douglass. The
best musical performance was
duet, "What are the Wild Waves
Saying" by Florence Williams and
one OF the teachers named Watson.
Rev. r. L. Hurley by request
made an address to the school and
delivered the certificates to the four
graduates of the 9Th grade.
