many geese going over at one time, and that
there must have been at least a thousand in
one Of the !ong strings Of fowls he ATTEMPTED
to count. If numbers are an indication of
the severity Of the weather, then he predicts
"a hard, cold winter for 1895 90.
Y BRANcHEs.-Owners Of houses and va
cant lots within the corporate limits will
notice by observing closely an Y mark most
cut into the clrbstonc in front of
the premises, but in some cases cut into the

where the sewer may be tapped, and are al
ready becoming obliterated by reason of re-
pairs on the property and having no profits
OF the sewer work and as these are the only
means Of locating the tap branch, it Is i'm.
portaui that this mark and the exact location
be preserved, - it will be an expensive
thing to find.
