engage in the hotel business. We

mony to his worth and commend
ing him to tho people among whom
he may settle, as worthy of their
utmost confidence and esteem. Our
best wishes go with him and his
family to their new home.
Hicks MAY WEATHER.-After q
few days of cooler, clear weather
about the 9Th it will grow warmer
in the west, and during the 9Th tic
the 18th the warmth will increase
as it advances eastward over the
continent, resulting in many storms
about the Sth, 9th and 10th. There
is marked tendency to frost, as q
rule, from about the 10th to the 18th
of May, especially when storms oc.
cur on or just preceding these dates
But the indications for this month
arc that this frost period will reach
its crisis at the close of reactionary
storms about the 18th. The new
moon on that day and the equinox
of Mercury on the 10th, will in.
crease and prolong storm conditions
and add to the probabilities of frost
after the storms in northerly re-
gions."
