Good authorities say this month OF No
vember is full Of atmospheric disturb
ances. The next important disturbance
is about the 28d inst. when we may ex-
pect decided rainfall. From this to the
23d the weather will grow warmer daily I;
after the rain period, say about 25th,
we shall have norther and the coolest
weather we have had this month We
are requested to state that a gentleman
now here attending the races will bet
from 500 to $500 on the correctness OF
five OF our rain periods, taken consecu-
lively. The same amount TO be bet on
each period. Here Is a chance for old
fogies to invest their money. A letter
from Fort Worth was recently published
In the San Francisco Chronicle in which
the writer said that ''an enterprisiDg
merchant here publishes at the head Of
mis- advertisement correct foretellings Of
the weather for weeks and months in ad.
vance. The best people here say these
publications have been absolutely correct
for six months past"

lature to examine the Prussian school system
and ascertain if it was practicable for the pub
lie schools of that State. The trustees of the

Frederick, being born within Is months after.

moved to ARdoyer to fill the place left vacant

Terrible Steamer Disaster.

A few days ago the Russian steamer Vera
was burned on the Volga River. The fire was
caused by the fall of a hanging lamp in the sa-
loon. The wood work was ignited and all eff
forts to quench the flames were uuavailing.
The passengers, ali of whom were in bed at the
time the fire broke out, rusEed TO the deck as
soon rs tire alarm was given, and many of them,
panicstricken, spTang overheard. The Captain
ordered the vessel 10 be run ashore This was
done, bat while the bow became imbedded in
the bank the stern remained in deep water,
and the passengers were still obliged TO swim
ashore. Many persons lost their lives By being
struck by tables and chairs which Were thrown
from the vessel TO aid the struggling swimmers
in the water. Owing to a failure 10 stop the
engines the water was churned up by the yes
sells wheels, rendering more difficult the task
of the rescucTs. who put out from shore to save
the drowning passengers. Not less than 200
people lost their lives.
