There was little of general interest in

GLIDING the report of the committee in
favor of exempting the property of agri-
cultural societies from taxation. No new
bills come in but there were two big

Relating to Poll Taxes.
The assessors and selectmen of Dexter
represent to the Legislature that there is
class of persons who have some property,
but little income, all of whose means may
reasonably be required for the support of
themselves and their families, whose polls
and estates ought to be exempted from tax
alton, but who cannot be classed within
the terms Of the present statute, either as
old, infirm or poor. Therefore they ask
that paragraph of sec. 6, chap. g. r. S.,
be amended by striking out the words,
"by reason of age, infirmity and power
ty,' and by inserting in place thereof the
words for lack of income and property. :"

OF a Summer Said TO Be About to Follow a
Short Winter.

Discussing the question of mild win
ters their cause and periodical recur-
renee, the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Does history repeat itself So do win
ters A lunar cycle is 10 years, and as
the moon influences the tides of the ocean,
why not the currents of the atmosphere,
the winds, etc.
The winter of 1S37-3S was remarkably
mild The writer was member of the
Freshman class at the University, and re-
calls the fact that he rarely wore an over
coat during the season. In March, 1888,
several freshies were boating on the Della
ware and a couple of them took short
swim in its waters. The summer of 1888
was intensely hot and day. On our way
to Long Branch we saw men pumping
water from the river and watering the
grassy banks at Burlington. From the
Branch we went to New York and made a
short trip to New England Everywhere
the grass had dried up and the vegetation
was ruined.
Nineteen years thereafter, viz, the win
ter of 1S56-57, was passed by your cores
pendent in Iowa, and was an ''open win
ter" the Mississippi never froze, the
steamers were running during every win
ter month. 1t was the only winter of the
eleven years of his residence in that state
that this phenomenal weather occurred.
The summer of 1857 was intensely hot
100 and over in the shade for many con-
sccutive days.
The winter of 1876 many can recall :;
how the Centennial buildings were goiug
up all winter, and how the Centennial
year was ushered in at midnight OF
December 31--January in warm, damp
atmosphere, which caused the smoke of
the gunpowder burned in front of and to
the rear of Independence hall to linger
there. And the summer of 1876 so in
tensely holland the victims to sunstroke,
many of them strangers to the country.
Who can forget it?
And so Is years more brings us to the
present season-lS94- 95; and, if we may
Judge by the past our present winter will
be short, and the summer which follows
