The reception rendered Rev. DR..
Wolff ard wife at the home OF Mrs.
VIM. Lee last evening was an unusually
pleasant function. The spacious resi-
dence was packed to its full capacity
with Pensioners and friends of this
worthyscouple who had come to mani

We have now come to the time of
year when Mr.. Hicks weather prophe-
cies become OF real interest to the
housewife and the 'old man on the
corner" Mr.. Hicks has always a spice
of storm and calamity in his predictions
which give them an exciting interest to
the credulous. but when you add to
these the rlgors Of q northern winter
you have something dramatic always to
look forward to. Here is what he has
to say Of the remainder of October: Au.
tumn rains will set in by the 10Th and
will travel eastward during the 10th.
18th and 18th. Very cool, frosty wealth
er will generally prevail on and about
the Goth. From about the 21st to 23d
falls a reactionary disturbance, calling
for the uniform swing of barometer
downward, southerly winds and rising
temperature. The Oath to 3Oth will
probably develop the most marked dis
turbances of the month. Mr.. Hicks
predicts that about Tuesday. Wednes-
day and Thursday, the 9th, 28th and
Doth, violent storms of wind. rain, sleet
and snow will sweep over large areas Of
the continent, amounting to dangerous
gales on }he lakes and seas, and that q
cold wave of wide and sweeping proper.
tions will follow Immediately behind
these storms. Billiards in the north
west may be looked for, the prophet
says, during that period. It is evident,
therefore, that il Mr.. Hicks is correct in
his diagnosis Of October weather condi'
tions, the close of the month will not be
unlike the close Of October in 1896, when
snow fell and the entire face OF the
country was storm swept. Farmers
threshermen and others might make
: profitable nOto Of this.
