OCTOBER's DRY DAYS.
Some Features of the Weather Dur
ing utumn's Second Month.


The month of October just passed was
remarkable for its extreme dryness, the
rainfall being tine lowest on record at this
station. In 1876 ten times as much rain
fell during October as has fallen the past
month. This drought was general
throughout the South as Will be seen
from the table Of mean temperatures and
rainfall.
The weather throughout Georgia WAS
uniformly pleasant, not single severe
storm having passed over the state.
Areas OF high barometer nave uniformly
prevailed, all the low barometer, or storm
areas, having passed to westward or
northward OF here. The storm, which
on the 18th and 14lh was so destructive
10 lie and property al Sabine Pass and
Galveston, Tex, and caused some uneasi-
ness here, originated in the West Indies
on the 10th and passed entirely about this
locality, taking circultous route
across the Gulf to Galveston, and
from thence up the Mississippi
valley and down the st. Lawrence basin.
On the 2oth and 10Th a high barometer
or cold area swept down the Mississippi
valley to the Gulf, and thence passed
eastward to the Atlantic coast, causing
irOsts throughout The cotton belt and the
cool weather that has lately been had in
Savannah. On the 22d TWO earthquake
shocks were felt in this city, coming APP
parently from the northeast; the first at 8
a. M, lasting ten seconds, the second at
2:2O p. M, lasting eight seconds. Neither
were severe.
Items OF interest will be found in the
following tables of mean temperature
and rainfall for October, 1856

Copy Of C%AbIeEFam Received from II. n
U~mbstastter, Aug. 10, 1850.

LONDON, Eng Aug y 1856,
In the c%hancery division OF the high court
Of Justice, London, Wee Chancellor Bacon
has given his decision in favor of The
Charles A. Nogsler Company Of Baltimore,
MARYLAND, in the action brought by that
house against n. Churchill and Company
of Brisbane, Queensland, The case which
has been in progress here since September,
ISL grew out of an attempt Of Churchill
and Company to register a trade mark con-
tanning the words st. Patrick Oil in con.
nection with . medicinal preparation.
This was promptly opposed by the Vogelsr
Company, who, while admitting that the
term and device which were sought to he
registered by the Australian firm were in
no respect identical to the we'll known st.
Jacobs Oil trade marks, contended, how.
ever, that sufficient similarity existed be
tween the term st. Patricks applied by
Churchill and Company and st. Jacobs al
used by the Vogeler Company to cause con
fusion in the minds OF the public and lead
to purchasers being deceived. In support
of this position they submitted an over
whelming amount of evidence from En-
glish, American and Australian sources
with the result stated. Under the decision
of the court Churchill and Company can
not register their mark and must pay costs
of the case, This is the second trade mark
suit won by the Vogeler Company in En-.

INSANE HOTEL GUESTS.
Ridiculous Capers Cut by a Demented Man
in Philadelphia Hosiery.

hiuiCulous tapefs tul ny II Dehienteu Wan
in Philadelphia Iiostelry.
The proprietor of one of the large
hotels on Broad street, who has been
in the business many years, in speaking
upon the subject of insane guests, said
that Of course they were always tran
Aent guests, and were got rid Of as
soon as their ailment was discovered.
But said he, 'they will slip in on the
most experienced clerks. They often
cut up ridiculous capers after they have
been at the hotel a short time. They
are too sly TO show themselves at first.
] remember upon n occasion, in an
other city, a very old gentleman regis
tered at a hotel and remained Tor a
week, and seemed to be engaged in
business which occupied a great deal of
his time, One day the clerks were
amazed and mystitied at the
appearance early in the morning
OF a score of men, girls and boys with a
wonderful assortment of ours. For a
time there was such a yelping and snort
ing about the hotel corridors that pande-
monium seemed to have empticd itself
there. The motley crowd of dog ped
dlers came to sell their dogs to Mr.. r.
1t was discovered that the mar had a
notion that if he could find n dog With
a certain white mark upon its forehead
he could dispose of it to the fanciers
at a fabulous price. He had been
through the by-ways of the city cngag-
ing urchinS and such other people as he
could induce to engage in the hunt to
bring such a cur to the hotel on Il GER
tain day, iffound. We cleared the mob
out and turned the man over to the
police, who found his friends and sent
Linn home. He had been insane on the
dog question for years. You might
find cases enough as queer as this one
to I'LL a book, Tor the insane guest is
known % all the big hotels. n-Phjiadel-
