New England Weather.

The New England weekly weather and
crop bulletin CAST for this SEASON. issued by
the New England Meteorological society,
cooperating with the United States signal
service, gives the following of special in
terest concerning last weeks weather, with
regard to the temperature, crops etc:
The average temperature for New Eng
land for the week ending September 20,
1890, has heen slightly below the normal
The days, with few exceptions have been
warm but the nights have been cool. A
light frost occurred in few localities in
the northwest on the morning of the 22d,
doing little damage, but on the 25th, a
severe freeze was experienced all over but
the southeastern part of New England. In
nearly all the northern and central sec
tons the temperature went to, or below,
the freezing point of water, and the dam
age was wide spread and general. At
little damage was done. At Newton, N Fl.
the thermometer registered 29.5, and
at Newport 25 degrees. The
freeze was hard enough at North
Haverhill, N. H, to injure apples on the
trees At Northfeld, VT, the signal SER
vice observer reported temperature of
go and the correspondent at Brookfeld
says that the frost was "clincher." Ice
ne-eighth of an inch thick formed there.
In Massachusetts, it was the most severe in
the central part, while the eastern part es-
capped with comparative little injury. At
Warren everything was killed that could
was done. At Kingston, r. l., ice formed
to the thickness of window glass, but at
Bristol in the same state no damage was
done. In Connecticut the frost was fol-
lowed by heavy fog that prevented much
damage, but in the nothern part buck
wheat, squashes, beans, ETC., were injured.
At Lebanon ice formed one-sixteenth inch
thick.
PRECIPITATION.
The amount of precipitation during the
week has been much below the normal.
Some correspondents report rain on the
22d, but in most localities the only rain
was on the 26th. and was very light in
amount The effect has been very favora-
BILE as there is plenty of water in the
ground The observer at North Haverhill
reports that the hillsl ARE white with snow.
REMARKS
The few pleasant days preceding the Be-
we're frost caused rapid ripening of corn
and other drops, and enabled many to
get them out Of the way of injury. Corn
Is now mostly cut, and seems to be well
filed. The late potatoes have ceased to
rot so badly in the ground, but large per
cent. of earlier ones have rotted in the bin.
Some, on carrying them from the cellar,
find from 90 to so per cent. spoiled. Fruit
of all kinds is high and scarce, but garden
truck, with the exception of tomatoes and
grapes, are yielding finely. Pumpkins and
squashes were hardly ripe in some locali-
ties, and were much injured by the frost.

THEY FOUGHT 1T OUT.
The Terrific Combat INDUCED In b
TWn SniGeIs.

The Terrific Combat INDUCED In by
Two Spiders.
l saw the other day an example of genuine
reasoning and bitter resentment exhibited by
a spider. In one corner of my yard, pro-
tected by an overhanging cornice and porch,
there are several spider webs, and in par
ticular two, one directly above the other at
a distance of six inches, and each tenauted
by large spider. l was seated in a chair in
the shade on Sunday afternoon, when l
noticed them, and picked up bit Of chip
and tossed it into the upper web to see what
the spider would do. He ran out and ex-
amined the chip, but quickly deciding it was
of no earthly value to spider, set about get
ting rid of it. He was very methodical and
went regularly round the chip. cutting the
treads on every side, until the chip finally
hung by one strand, which he severed, and
it dropped into the web of the spider who
was keeping house on the lower story. Out
came the latter, thinking he had caught
something. but when he found the chip his
rage seemed unbounded.
1t evidently wasn't the first time his up
per-story neighbor had dumped his refuse
into the lower web and he was determined
to stand it no longer. He went up the ropes
like an athlete, leaving the chip where 1t
fell, and in an instant was in the upper WEB
and engaged in deadly battle with its oc-
cupant They had n terrible fight and
rolled over and over each other, biting and
hugging with the utmost ferocity. At last
in their tumbles they fell through the hole
where the chip had been cut out, and into

WANTS THE RING BACK,
A Quaker City Man Who Tops
Dickens Pecksniflian Suitor.

A young man, whose name is withheld for
reasons which will be apparent to every
reader, sends the Record the following
pathetic appeal:
! was engaged to young lady In this town,
and expected 10 be married next month. spent
my vacation this summer at Atlantic City. and
probably did not write 10 her as often as should
have done. At any iate, upon my return, size up
braided me for neglect. and We had quarrel,
which end d in the breaking oil of The engage
meut. | have written to her asking her TO return
the ring which gave her, and she refuses to give
II up, and write 10 ask If | cannot legally com
pei her to surrender II.
If our CORES pondent has ever read Martin
Chuzzlewit, he will doubtless remember that
Mr. Augustus Noodle failed to put in an APP
pearance at Mrs. Podger's boarding house
at the hour at which he was to lead Miss
Cherry Pecksniff to the hymeneal altar.
Instead of that he sent a letter by messen-
ger for the key Of his desk, and asked Miss
Pecksnifi to reward the boy by giving him
the penknife, with n buckhorn handle,
which he (Moddle) had presented to Miss
Pecksniff. He had, undoubtedly, also given
her an engagement ring, but 1t will be
noticed that even with all his meannesS the
false Augustus did not ask for its return.
a case has, however. recently been tried
in a French court which ought forever to set
at rest the right OF a woman TO an engage
ment ring under all circumstances. a wife
had secured divorce from her husband,
jewelry which he had presented to her
before marriage, and which, somehow or
other, he had succeeded in getting possession
Of The Judges rendered a decision in her
favor, in the course of which they laid down
the axiom that the ring offered for the pur-
pose of recalling the engagement Of two
persons constitutes the most personal and
irrevocable OF all souvenirs gwen in view of
matrimony. This appears to be sound law,
aud if our correspondent can find any that
is better he would do well TO try and
secure it.
OF course, there may be cases 10 which a
woman may be said to forfeit the right to
what is generally regarded as a symbol of
constancy. But our correspondent. from
his own statement, has only himself to
blame II he had been married he could
have invented an excuse for his silence
while at Atlantic City which might have
served; but a man who is simply engaged
cannot afford to take any such risks He
will doubtless find some other fair one to
smile upon. and we would suggest in that
case that he should either get married at
once or else adopt the old fashion of sealing
the engagement by broken 2j-cent piece
one-half to be retained by each party. Then,
if trouble should again ensue. any loss which
he might sustain would be merely nominal.
