Rev Irl R. Hicks, who is considered first
authority, in the World and Works gives the
following weather forecasts for October:
October should open with cool. bright
weather prevailing in most parts Of the coun-
try. Heavy frosts. with some sharp freezing
will be most natural result during the
nights tiding us from September into Octo-
ber On the % and 81 sharp and sudden
rise in temperature followed by storminess,
may be looked for, and by the time the high
er temperature and storm touch the East
another blast from the north and west will
have advanced past the middle of the CONT
nens.
About the 7th it will begin to turn quite
warm, with soft skies and southerly cur
rents. which condition will grow unless
storms of marked energy show themselves
or danger days-sth. eth, and TO- Meteoro-
logical laws viii compel period of three to
four days of sharp freezing and frost after
these storms, which condition viii break
down progressively from west to east on and
next to the 18th and 18th. Warm, south
erly winds, with reactionary storms, will be
the result-foIlowed again by the regular
cold wave.
As We approach the 10Th, eyes trained to
meteorological changes will note the gather
ing elements Of approaching storms. Higher
temperature, falling barometer, easterly to
southeriy winds-storms The 10Th, 2lst,
and 22d are the days in the period against
which we would especially warn our read
ers. There is noticeable tendency 70 siormi
I ness in the regions Of the northern lakes
about this time, and the approaching pertur-
baton of Venus, together with other causes,
viii likely aggrayate this tendency at this
( time into violent movements. Thedays fol-
lowing up to reactionary movene ents abou.
/ the 36Jh and 9th ought to be crisp and cold,
and freezing generally to northward.
A storm period in which Vulcan, Mercn-
~, and Venus are directly concerned, begins
I about the last day of October. The month
will 90 out with rising temperature and
4 threatening indications. If not active storms,

There is a longer and harder winter before

harm can come from careful preparation for
a colder winter and for drier. hotter sun-

The cornerstone of the new Reformed
church at Bethel, Pa, was laid on the 18th
inst. Services in the forenoon and afternoon
At 1880, sermon by the pastor, Rev. L n
Buyer; at 2-3o Rev. H. King, of Somerset
preached sermon appropriate to the occa-
sion. A large congregation was present All

church.
After the sermon in the afternoon the con-
gregation marched to the foundation of the
new church, where the corner stone was
placed with appropriate services.
The congregation consists Of but sixteen
members and their activity in building a
church, shows how much can be accom-
plished by united effort When completed,
the church will be an ornament to the town
and blessing TO our Reformed Zion.
Rev. Mr.. Earhart, of the Evangelical
Lutheran church, was also present and par
ticipated in the services.
Over one hundred dollars was subscribed
on the day Of the cornerstone laying.
The future Of the Reformed church in this
place is very aattering.

There is a great deal Of complaint on the
part Of merchants about the freedom grant
ed children on our public streets. The busi-
est streets of the town are selected by the
youngsters for games of ball and quoits and
if a reputable business man is to be believed
every last one Of them has a good pair OF
lungs in his head and always on tap. 1t
is not only annoying to merchants and Gus
toners alike TO have the little chaps always
in their way and forever shouting, but they
have recently been the means Of causing tive
or three ugly runaways. Possibly the school
directors can correct this annoyance.
