During the storm of last week the
fencing in this vicinity was damaged,
a window was blown in at the resi-
dence of Mr.. David Main; at the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. H. Tyler quantity
of the plastering fell from the ceiling
of his kitchen, converting him and the
table at which he was sitting with the
debris.
On last Wednesday night the north
western horizon was illumined with
the Aurora BOrealis.
AS there is much speculation as to
the storm of last week, the following
deductions taken from paper read
before the Philosophical Society of
Washington, in 1874, by Prof. CIeve-
land Able, may be of interest:
ga storm center moves toward the
region where conditions produce the
greatest precipitation of aqueous vapOr;
precipitation is produced by cooling
the air, and fall of temperature is the
consequence of either radiation or alb
sorption of heat; the mechanical ab-
sorption of heat occurs under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Stormy winds,
inertia in the air and friction on the
earth's surface, winds being pushed up
an inclined plane, elevation of masses
The above explanation is plain
enough for any person to see the cause
of the storm of last week.

What was the matter with those JUS
tices appointed in Baltimore? Our Re-
publican friends are certainly distin-
gushing themselves as dO-nothings;
the people are getting tired of it. The
truth of the whole matter is this: The
Republican party is one of dead issues.
The war is over; the tariff has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting; the old pension racket don't
work. Democracy is founded upon
the principles of our nation, and like
truth, ''tho' crushed to earth, will rise
again."
