SIGNS OF A COLD WINTER

Many and various are the predic
tions for the coming winter, but my
opinion is that none of us can answer
that observation-disclosures it is going
to be :nild, or whether it is to be
cold. You will hear people shy there
are lots of berries, nuts and acorns,
so look out for hard winter. Some
one else will imagine that the SOUR.
rels nre more busy than usual, laying
up a big supply of provisions, but 1
have lived in the country most of my
life and have been pretty close OBJ
server, and really do not think that
any of these signs prove anything
about tho coming season.
In the first place, trees do not
bear alike every year; tree that per.
hnps last year was very fruitful, this
year may not be fruitful at all, and
SO with nuts. acorns and the like;
some seasons they abound plentiful
ly in the highland woods, while the
noxt season the order of things may
be reversed and they will be found
in the lowlands.
Now the winter of '92 has, 1 sup
pose, gone down on record rs the
coolest winter within the recollec
ton OF the oldest iuhabitant. It was
feared that some of the game birds
that feed on the ground had almost
been e1terminated by the long con
, tinued snow, but it proved not 80, as
they are quite numerous now, but
the feature of that winter is still very
noticeable. and that is tho absence of
the mistletoe that used to grow in
such quantities in the swamps along
the historic old Chickahominy. OF
course, there may still be little left,
but it is much scarcer than it used
to be-
The mistletoe is very fat, juicy
plant, aud my theory is that the in
tense cold froze it, and-while it was
10 this condition the wind blew it off
the trees, as 1 noticed bits of it ly
ing on tho ground withered and yell
low, after the weather had moderat.
ed.
But 1 don't remember that the au
tumn preceding the winter of '92 had
any larger provision for the birds
than last fall, when the winter of 93
was SO mild.
1t is very hard matter to come at
just what the squirrels are about, as
they are such cunning little rascals;
bet they seem to be themselves very
numerous this season.
Some one, I understand, has dis
covered that the English sparrows
are getting feathers on their legs. L
have not observed that as yet, but
one thing I feel quite sure of, and
that is that it will be "a cold day
when they get left H.C.

THE BONDS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2G.--The Secre
Rotary OF the Treasury has accepted
the proposal of John A. Stewart,
president of tho United States Trust
Company, and his associates. to pur
chase the entire issue of five per
cent. bonds, amour ting to $50, COO,
GOO, ut 1!7.077 with accrued interest
from November 1. The proceeds
from the bonds under this bid will
be Si9,51762 grea Ter than it would
be if the other of che highest bids
were accepted. A very important
advantage to the government in ac-
cepting this bid is the tact that all
the gold will be furnished outside.
and none drawn from the treasury
1t is also more convenient, and less
expensive to the government. to deal
with one party rather than with
may.

Isaac Van Nault, whose residence Is

fractured skull. A train or the dunn
my road from Glendale was dashing
along through R~idgewood at II o'clock
last night, when the engineer saw some
obstruction on the rack. and by prompt
use OF the air-brakes managed to stop
the train only n few feet from It.
Then II was discovered that the object
lying across the track was an uncon-

Neesen the engineer declared that Just
as he noticed the man on the track he
saw a horse and wagon being driven
rapidly across the track and along the
road that leads to Jamaica. The en-
gineer believed that the man had fallen
on the track.
The police think hat the man was
intoxicated, went to sleep or the track
and was struck by the dummy engine:
The crew OF the train deny this, and
point to the fact that the man was ly.

been struck by the train he would have
been brushed on the track.
