A New Weather Prophet to the Fore

Kingston, Pennsylvania, has a man
who Is ambitious to make reputation
like Foster and Hicks have i'm regard To
weather prognostication. Weappend his
forecast for December so that you can
watch the developments and see II he
knows anything. His outlook is q gloomy
one, but that won't worry many, for
there are not many who put any faith in
what these wiseacres say. Prof. Coles is
responsible for this.
This month Earth viii sail in between
old red warrior and the sun. Old red
warrior Mars will be behind poor old
mother earth's back aud he will play all
sorts Of tricks on her. He will cause her
to be very restless and angry. Hurri-
canes, billiards, sizzards, cyclones, floods
earthquakes, tornadoes, tidal waves and
great electrical storms may be looked for
in some sections.
Disease epidemics will become prevail
ent to an alarming degree Scarlet fever,
diphtheria, typhoid fever, measles, etc,
will keep the health boards very busy.
A new muscular disease will appear
and cause untold pains and annoyances.
Riots. strikes, fires. murders, suicides,
mine caves, and awful slaughter among
the savages will be recorded this month
and next. Fierce gales will sweep over
many sections of the country.
The vital forces will be at "high flood''
only y days this month: Sd, 4th, I2,h,
18th, 18th, 18th 18th, 2lst, I'D, 23d and 3lst.
Is the coming new year preparing to go
back on our present promising prosperi-
ty prospect? 4 break will occur in the
gaseous matter now passing over the sun,
some time between the lst and 18th and
cause destructive storms and high winds.
This sea of gaseous matter viii pass from
the sun, entirely, during the latter part of
this month or first part of next month,
and cause storms unprecedented Let
the southern, northern and western states
especially, prepare for the worst, The
old country will receive terrible afilict-
ions-by storm and wind; by war and
ruin. The planets foretell great dissatis-
faction among the ruling powers of the
old country.
We warn all persons i'm the mercantile
business that the last part of this month
promises some exciting disturbances,
therefore, the Christmas trade should be
brought ont early by extra inducements,
if necessary. The old year, 1876. that has
given us 50 mach sorrow, may give us an
unprecedented farewell. Unseen forces
may stay off these disturbances for a few
days, but we shall soon feel the blighting
force of old red warrior Mars power.
Many beautiful sunset scenes will take
place. strange phenomena, and new
comet will appear in the heavens.
The vital forces of all human and veg
etable life will fall from high flood" TO
''low ebb" and return to high food
again within twenty-four hours time, on
Sunday. the 30th inst. Let those troub-
led with heart disease, or in run
down. condition, take good care of them
selves an avoid overwork and exposure.

A Merited Compliment.

Judge Longenecker closes the first five
years, or one-half of his term, January
first next Coming as he did after heat
ed political battle that continued to the
eve of election day, it was but natural
that there should be sore spirits in this
county when he first assembled the Bench,
but his even temper, his urbanity, his
wise, impartial and just decisions told in
his favor from the start, banished bitter
and acrimonious feeling and gave him a
standing among our people that few of
his predecessors possessed. After all
there's mere sentiment in county lines
and the worst of it is-interested senti-
ment that plays il FOR personal purposes
and not for its intrinsic worth, if. indeed,
it possesses any. But, moralizing aside,
Judge Longenecker has won the pro-
found respect of our people by his per-
sonal, moral and intellectual worth, as
well as by his manliness. He is infinite
ly stronger with us to-day than he was
five years ago when he first came TO pre-
side over our courts.-Meyersdale Com
mercial.

Verdict Against a Township.

The court at Reading has rendered a
verdic, Of general interest. Mrs. Lydia
Biting brought suit against Maxatawney
township, under the following cream
stances:
Several years ago Daniel C. Biting was
driving home on dark night, when mis-
team went over the side of bridge
which was not protected by guard rails.
and the wagon bore him under the water
and he was drowned. The widow then
sued the township, and she was non-suit-
ed in the Berks court. The Supreme
court reversed this decision and ordered
a retrial. The case was on trial for the
past three days, and elected such great
public interest in the country districts
that the court house was crowded. 1t
was claimed by the defence that Mr.. Bit
ing's horse was at fault for going over the
bridge, but. on the other hand, testimo-
ny was adduced to show that it was un-
safe aud the sides unprotected. The jury
took this view, and awarded the widow
of Mr.. Biting ss,s5s. Some of the tax
payers of Maxatawney claim that 1t will
be burdensome for them to pay this
amount. 4 special tax will likely be lev
led TO raise this sum.

One Cause of Diphtheria

They say, says an exchange, that there
is danger of causing diphtheria by sleep
ing with coal-oil lamp turned low in
your room. However the diphtheria
theory is, it must certainly be very un-
healthy to have an oil lamp burning con-
tinually in a sleeper's room. The fumes
from the low flames are particularly sick
ening and it is wonder more people arc
not affected than are. One has very little
idea of the extent to which this practice
is carried on right here in Centre county.
Should you happen to he driving through
the country districts very late at night
you will be surprised that in nearly every
farm house there will be a light, no mat
ter how late the hour. Some of you
might pass this condition unnoticed, yet
to an observing traveller there can not but
arise the question as TO why people in
the country should be up so late, when
they areproverbial for early retiring. In
nine ont of every ten OF the houses you
pass there is not a soul awake. The light
that excites your curiosity is in a bed
room. Turned low, it is throwing out its
sickening, deadening gases for some
slumberer to inhale. Permitting chill
dren to have a light, while sleeping. not
only makes towards of them, but jeop-
ardiZes their health as well.
