Contemplate Thieving.

There Is more petty thieving in this
city than can be really enjoyed by the
many victims. 1t has long been a
custom hereabouts for families to put
out the milk kettle before retiring, SO
that the milk dispenser might find a
receptacle for his fluid early in the
morning. Usually the money, small
change, is placed in the kettle for the
milkman. Nowadays some contempt
ible rascal finds it his pleasure to tear
about the city and hook the kettle,
money and all. Other times the fellow
is early about, and carries off the milk
left in the kettles. Pity it is such a
thief cannot be captured, as it is not
agreeable for very many to go with
out milk In their Java at breakfast
time.

At this time there were thousands of
people upon the grounds. On the
western hill a Union camp was pitct-
ed, and it proved to be highly interest
Ing to the great crowds that gathered
about it. About half-past three the
sham battle took place. Old soldiers
who witnessed it said that it was the
most realistic ever shown. Richard
Morris commanded the Union troops
and James Simpson led the rebels.
The pickets were sent out, and then
the rebels make a CHARGE driving the
Union men from the camp, and de-
molishing in q twinkling every tent.
Then they fell back, and the Union
men recovered, and desperate hand
to hand encounter followed Finally
Union men, amid much cheering, put
0he rebels to rout, and captured the
artillery of their enemies, but not un-
til the rebs had made a gallant struggle
for victory. In the evening there was
a beautiful display of fire works, which
was was witnessed by thousands. Bust
ness was good, and everybody was
happy. In every way the G.. A. R.,

PROPHECIEs FOR JULY.
Rev. Ira Hicks Gives His Opinion
of the w Gather.

Rev. Ira r. Hicks, of st. Louis, sends
out the following weather prophecy
for July:
The month ought to begin with
moderate summer temperature and
minimum of storm disturbances in
sight. The u, and days next to it, will
bring marked rise in temperature,
with very manifest tendepcies to
storms s-slectrcll Il and otherwise.
From the 5th to 11th is a regular
storm period in which, most likely, we
will encounter some of the warmest
weather of the summer. On and
about the Sth, 9th and 105h expect
some very active developments. A
brief respite from very high tempera-
ture is apt to pass eastward during the
days Immediately preceding the re-
dictionary return to warmth and storms
about the 14th and 18th.
The planet Venus is at her equinox,
with the new moon combined on the
10th. Interested observers will be
curious to watch the results. The COM
bination is well calculated to produce
disturbances peculiar to itself, outside
regular period though it is. Heat,
thunder and hail are among the re.
suits to be looked for. These things,
with threatening storm clouds rising
from the northwest, are sure to pre-
vail in the regular period-16th to 22d.
The Goth is the day when the full
strength of Venus will combine with
"Vulcan;" on that day, and the two
days next following, to the eastward,
watch their "antics." A marked fall
from oppressively high temperature
ought to follow from about the 21st in
the west, growing warmer in its east
ward progress, eliminating in some
storm f1u1ries about the 26th or 9th.
The month will end hot, with a regu-
lar storm period central on the 3lst.

: A Cure for ivy Poisoning.

A large number of persons, espec-
tally young people, ,are generally suffer
ing from poisoning by the mercury
vine or poison ivy. This noxious
growth is very common about Bridge
ton, and is encountered by the fishing,
picnicking and other outing parties.
DR.. John Aulde states in the New York
Medic1l J,urnol that remedy and
antidote has been accidentally dis
covered in large doses of olive oil,
with ten grains of carbonate of sodium.
A use of this remedy will not only cure
cases of ivy poisoning, but it is claimed
will render the subject proof against it
forever afterwards.
