By the Presiden

November begins in the midst of a
regular storm period, insuring MAJ y
severe storms, especially on the lakes and
North Atlantic, the first three or four days
of the month A very cold wave, with
snow and ice in much of the country will
result at this time. Cod will moderate
on ard about the 9th and It'll. the barO-
meter will fall, and more active storms OF
rain, wind and snow will result Another
dash of cold from the northwest will fol-
low these storms. From about the 18th
to 18th is one of the marked storm periods
of the month, in which Moon is new and
at perigee, with equlnoctial Disturbances
of both Venus and Mars near their cen
tiers. Heavy rains, hail, wind and thun-
der will visit many parts of the south,
turning to billiards in the north, with
terrific gales about the lakes and North
Atlantic The general cold following the
storms will end in warmer and more dis
turbances about the 18th and 10Th. The
23d to 9th will bring low barometer,
change to warmer and renewal of very
active disturbances. Cold wave and
freezing will come behind the storms.
November ends in reactionary storm
period, with Mercury equinox central
on the Both

Independent Repub leans.

We learn from the GazeUe that an indie
pendent Republican Club has been form
ed at Forestville and at meeting held on
October 21st Mr.. Mudd was condemned
for having made the hitherto honorable
title of republican a kissing and by
word among men; and that in the sober
judgement of this club it is essential to
the re establishment of the prestige of the
once hor ored and revered party of the
plain people, that this egotistical and
sordid party wrecker be clfectually
squelched, even tho the operation entails
some temporary loss, being mindful of the
divine injunction: IF thy right eye offend
the, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for
what will it avail man if he saws his eye
and thereby lose his SOUL
"The next step after the formation of
the club, was the election and induction
into office, of the officers of the club: the
result being that Mr. Richard r. Hawkins
was elected President, Mr.. John Cole,
Vice President, Mr.. John H. Henson,
Secretary, and Mr.. Alexander jenkins,
Treasurer"

The first number of the Quarterly, issu
ed by the Maryland Agricultural College,

appeared 1t comprises tabulated state
ment of all the commercial fertilizers sold

Maryland the inspection, sampling and
analysis of commercial fertilizers is to be
done under the auspices of the Maryland
Agricultural College, by the professor of
chemistry of the college, who is eX-otlicio
State chemist
A letter from the president of the col
lege to the farmers of the State urges up
on them the great Importance Of Il pro-
fessional education as a requisite equip
ment for those who are to man our farms
in the future, and prime factor in the
agricultural development of the State.
The Sunday Night Club, recently or
gained at the college, elected Mr.. ID. F.
Shamberger president. During the Epis-
copal General Convention in Washing
ton one of the Bishops visited the college
and delivered a sermon.
