A Hard Winter Predicted.

Migratory birds and wild geese continue
their fight southwark. This is said to be
an unfailing sign of the approach OF
winter, and the fact that none of them
stop in this vicinity is looked upon as
an indication that we are to have very
severe weather here.
They can be heard now every night as
they fly high in the air, above our town
chirping as they co. and now and then
the honk of wild goose may be heard
Another indication of hard winter
pointed out by home made weather proph
cts is that the shuck on ccrn is very heavy
and the moss on the north side of trees
very thick.

The Wrong Leg.

There was an eminent sergeant at law
come years ago who had a cork leg
that was a triumph Of artistic decep.
ton. None but his intimates knew for
certain which was the real and which
was the sham limb. 4 wild young wag

cret TO take in a green, newly tledged
young barristcr. The sergeant was ad.
dressing a special jury at Westminster
In his usual earnest and vehement
style, and the wag whispered 10 his
neighbor:
You see how hot old Buzfuz is over
his case. Now. I'll bet you 4 sovereign
I'll run this pin into his leg up to the
head and he'll never notice it, he's SO
absorbed in his speech He's most eX-
traordinary man in that way"
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow. so he took the bet. The
wag took a large pin from his waist
coat and. leaning forward, drove II up
10 the head in the sergeant's leg. \ yell
that froZe the blood Of all who heard IL.
that made the hair Of the jury stand on
end and the judges wig almost fall of,
rang through the court.

my money" exclaimed the dismayed
and conscience stricken wag, quite re-
gardless Of the pain he had inflicted up
on the learned sergcant.-Londou An
