OF all medicinal preparations that have been pug

malt has proved itself one Of the most valuable
as q tonic or remedial beverage. 1t has received
the unqualified recognition and support of phy-
siciRns, and is freely prescribed by them iii many
cases, especially where the nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease or over
work. The house of 'sDANID NICHOLSON

extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by MI. AdOlphus

Between Snow and Rain.

A singular phenomenon on the east.
ern division of the Erie has been no.
ticed by railroad men for years. This
is the dividing line between snow and
rain storms, which is on the Erie road
near Allendalc, always within a quar-
ter OF mile of the same spot, and
extending across the state for long
distance. This line is so distinct,
when the snow is apparently turning
to rain, that on the north Of this line
snow my be falling, while south of it
a rain-storm is in progress. This phe-
nomenOn is not noticeable at all
times, but only during storms of tho
character named The only satisfac-
tory theory thus far advanced is that
the air from the sea reaches Just to
this point, and beng impregnated
with salt dissolvcs the congcaled va
por and allows it to fall to the earth
as rain, while north of the line the
falling snow is not affected by such
influences. &C., Port ferris (N ~ Union.
