Slightly colder partly cloudy weather,
westerly winds.
New York Herald forecasts The
storm yesterday morning in the Central
Mississippi Valley has made a northeast
erly advance, with heavy rains toward
the lakes. 1t will probably move north
of the lakes and cause dangerous easterly
gales on the Atlantic coasts north OF and
near Sandy Hook to-day. Temperature
fell in the United States yesterday except
in the South. The chief minima reported
were O degrees at Cheyenne, IL at Fort
Washakie WY. r. and Is at Fort Custer,
M. T.. The chief maxime were from rs
50, in Florida, where the weather con
ditions are still unfavorable for checking
the yellow fever In the Middle States
cloudy, slightly warmer weather and
brisk easterly to southerly winds will
prevail, with rain, followed by clearing
in this section. On Saturday, in this sec
tion slightly colder, partly cloudy
weather and brisk southerly to westerly
winds will probably prevail, preceded by
rain in New England, and on Sunday
colder, fair weather may be expected in
these areas.
The periodic dip in the thermometer
curve, which meteorologsts think they
have discovered through a large part of
the Northern Hemisphere between the
9th and 18th of this month, is apparently
at hand, Yesterday the mercury sank
twenty-six degrees below the freezing
point on the plains Of Wyoming Ter
ritory and to eighteen degrees in Mon
tana Snow also fell in Northern Mime
sofa.

caused very extensive and heavy rainfalls

JOHNSON AND THE coNJuRoR.
He Says Molly Conspired to Take His Lif,
by Witchcraft.

For over two years" said Rev. w
II. Bryant yesterday, II have been visit
ing the Delaware county Jail at Media
and my visits have not been at all times
TO one person, for since have been going
there | have been called upon to pray
with the sick and the dying. On last
Friday | went on my regular visit to the
jail for the purpose of seeing Samuel
johnson, and on reaching the Jail was
admitted, and in company with Mr..
Moore, one Of the keepers, proceeded to
the cell in which Johnson has been CON
fined for well on to three years. We
found him living ON his bunk and so
deeply engaged in reading the Bible that
he seemed not to have noticed our pres
ence When we entered he greeted us
warmly and after spending some time in
conversation and exposition of the third
chapter OF the First Epistle Of John, and
prayer he handed me letter to be pub
lished. Mr. Baker read 1t carefully and
said he had no objection to its contents
and in compliance with the prisoners re-
quest | give it to the Times"
The letter is written in the same man
ner as the one recently exhibited in the
Times window. He accuses molly"
with conspiring with Pritchett and
Charles Stevens to fasten the murder
upon him. He then tells story of
witchcraft practiced upon him at VIII
mington by the same woman, who he
says, cut off lock Of his hair one day
while he was lying drunk and placing
five new needles" through it gave the
bunch to a conjuror in order to get him
into trouble. From the fact that she
tried to bewitch him, johnson says she
has been aiming at his life. The letter
gives very vivid account of the at
tempts at sorcery on the part of the
wicked Molly.-Chester, pa, ) Times.

WE have canneries in Milford that
are distributing large sums of money
annually among the laboring classes ;
but the trouble with their system is,
that the great bulk of their disburse-
ments are made in few weeks, and
steady employ for any large number
of people is not furnished We appre-
ciate the good they are doing, yet we
would welcome the advent of a change
in the canning business of Milford, in
so far as the employing Of labor is con-
cerned. This can only come about by
the Introduction of canning asparagus
and poultry. Thepoultry our farmers
already have, and the production Of
asparagus only awaits the market or
means to utilize it, Thousands Of
acres are close by that are well adapted
to its culture, and when we note that
one firm in Dover expects to pack
fOrty-five thousand cans of this vege-
table, we think of the many hundreds
of dollars that the farmers would re-
ceive for this early crop,and the money
that would beputin circulation among
the laboring people many weeks in
advance Of the fruit season. Gamers
consider this. and make q proposition
to the farmers to grow asparagus.
