The Senate, on the 18th instant, passed
MIR. Hoar's bill to regulate the Presidential
succession. 1t provides that in case of death
or disability of the President and Vice Presi-
dent the Secretary of State shall become
President, and after him the other members
of the Cabinet, in stated order. The bill pro-
yides for the repeal of the law for special
election to fill a vacancy in the Presidential
office and Senator Edmunds moved to strike
out this portion. He supported his motion
by an able speech, to which Senator Evarts
replied. Mr.. Edmunds' motion was defeat
ed. The bill was passed without division.
In the House Mr.. Randall has introduced
bill on the same subject, which provides for
the re-assembling of the Electoral colleges to
choose Vice President when that office be-
comes vacant.

A Hard Winter Predicted.

DeVoe, the New Jersey meteorological, pre-
diets that Christmas will be a clear, bright,
pleasant day over most parts of the United
States. Therefore if the weather should be
the reverse here, we can console ourselves
with the thought that the sun is shining
brightly somewhere else. He also predicts
that we will have severe winter, that about
the 9th of December we will enter the most
severe storm period of the winter. About
that date, he says, two severe storms will
move across our continent from west to east,
blocking railroad travel, and at the same
time cyclone will occur in New Mexico,
striking the Gulf States as a norther, on
New Years Day. Intense cold will prevail
in the West, the thermometer falling to 30
degrees below zero in Illinois. The cold
blast will probably strike this locality about
January I'd, and there will be a general freeze
up.
We give the prediction for what it is worth,
with the remark that cold weather is not I'M
usual in January.

SQUIRE WATERS AND THE GROUND Hoo
Squire Walters, of Darlington, on the 9th of

day last week he saw the same old fellow eating
grass. 1t seems late for this prophetic little
animal to be out of his hole, and perhaps he is
merely storing up food for his long winter nap.
The squire and the ground hog are said to be
old acquaintance, which probably accounts for
their seeing each other SO often
