members. Capt. Marquis, Chairman of the
Street Committee, stated that he had observed
the place, and described the situation and the
nature of the ground which was spongy, and so
completely saturated with an under flow oil
water from the hill side as to make it impossi-
BILE to put down the improvement he would re,

He has caused a surface drainage. and now the
water is running off freely to the creek and if
stock can be kept away or prevented from
trampling on it till the surface becomes solid
then gutter can be put down on stone bed
which he thought the best to be done at pres
ent, as it would prevent an accumulation in
the gutter which has not been paved.

Rockingham Register.
AS we pay attention to the so-called
changes of the moon, being satisfied that
they have no effect whatever upon the
weather, the above from the Register is the
first information we had that the moon
changed in the zodiacal sign OF Taurus on
Tuesday of last week. and that a frost was ex-
pected to result therefrom. 1t is a misnomer
to say that the "moon changes"-it does not
change except in the degree of light it reflects
upon the earth, owing to it's change of position
in its orbit with relation to the sun and EARTH
The moon observes the Democratic doctrine
of home-rule and non-intervention, and does
not interfere with the weather of the planet.
We are encouraged to hope that the time is
coming when even Brother Kerr of the Register
will cease to have any faith in the grounding
and signs of the zodiac and tie phases of the
moon either as Indicators or as controllers of
the weather.

excessive rain which fell all that day, the
Monday following was substituted.
A large crowd attended, and though the ma
jority of the audience are not strangers to the
soirees of our Seminaries, they must have
justly concluded that this entertainment fell
not below the usual standard of excellence.
