Warm or Cold Weather, Which {?
A city paper thus discourses on the
probabilities as to the temperature of
the coming Winter:
The rural papers have not yet set
tied among themselves whether this is
to be a severe Winter or not. The par
tisans of a mild Winter claim that the
numerous instances in which fruit trees
have produced second crops this sea-
son indicate a late beginning of Arctic
weather and an early resumption of
spring phenomena, while on the other
hand the advocates of severity argue
that the abundanance of crops and the
length of time for which leaves have
remained upon the trees are directly in
favor of their theory. They also set
great store by the early departure of
migratory birds, the deep burrowing of
the woodchuck, the thick coats of the
fur-clad animals, and they even claim
the oracular opinion of the goose-bone.
The vote is so close that it will require

and respectful way in which the great
Democratic jubilatiOn was conducted on
Saturday night in Philadelphia. There
was no burning Of the opposing candidates
IN efigy. On the contrary, the greatest
good feeling prevailed during the night,
and an incident which increased the good
nature Of all was the compliment paid to
the Democratic clubs by the leading Re-
publican organizations in saluting them as
they passed the club houses by exploding
guns and discharging fireworks. Notice
able in this was the Union Republican
Club, Eleventh and Chestnut streets
whose building was brilliantly illuminated

defeated in this State and therefore in the
country. The Republicans, who from the

New Iron Fence.

The Odd Fellows have given up the
idea of a hedge along the front of their
cemetery, and in place of it will erect
4 foot chancel rail, wrought iron
picket fence along the entire front.
which will be nearly 200 feet, and
have given the order to the Messrs.
Taylor who will make it during the
Winter and put it in place in the early
Spring. We think the idea a good
one, as there is nothing prettier and
more substantial than an iron fence,
and at the present low price of iron
the cost will not be very much more
than a hedge, which would take wears
to grow with the many risks of dying,
and the trouble and expense of TRIM
ming it often whereas an iron fence
once there is there for many years to
come. We COMMEND this energy in
beautifying this cemetery in so many
ways and believe the extra cost of this
fence will be more than compensated
by the extra number of lots it will
cause them to sell.

however, that the opening up of this tongue
ofland by the new railroad, which, until

our people than lands a thousand miles
