There have been snow storms, and
billiards., and rain, and hail, since last
winter first settled over us; but in all
which could compare with the at
mospheric conditions of Saturday. In
point of disagreeableness it stands
pre-eminent and alone. And it
was as unexpected as it was

er. but the weather clerk sometimes
makes mistakes. like the rest of us,
and when, after Fridays clouds, Sat
lrday dawned with a southerly wind
and a mild air, and the sun began to
hurn away the clouds, it brought to A
fellow feeling which prompted him
to throw out his chest, and while in
haling deep draughts of ozone, exclaim
"Ah, this is spring." This action would
have been appropriate at 7.3O in the
morning, but two hours later a mans
salty would have been questioned had
he been caught saying anything of the
Kind. During that time the wind had
shifted from south to northeast, and
increased in force until it became a
gale Their it began to ram. which
continued until late in the afternoon
it changed to hail, and then to snow,
which continued during the evening.
The mercury, which stood at 81 in the
morning, ran down 10 or II degrees be-
low the freezing point, and was only
26 above at $50. Sunday morning. Sun
day was fair, but there was cold wind
blowing which left a very slight sug-
gestion of spring to those obliged to
be out of doors.

Letter to F. w. Colby.

Dear Sir: Here's an interesting
story about paint. We give you the
name of the story-teller; write him and
find out all about it.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, of Girard,
Penn, painted his house with Devoe
Lead and Zinc paint. He thought it
expensive, but he bought it. After fin
ishing the job. he brought back nearly
half the paint and said it was the
cheapest job of painting he ever did.
Write to Mr.. Burt Young and Mr.. f.
Fl. Hitler of the same place. Also to
Mr.. H. H. Stephenson, cashier of oil
City, CPa.) Savings Bank.
1t is the cheapest paint in the world
because it is all paint. 1t covers most
surface to the gallon, and it wears
longest.
There's going to be a lot of this paint
used in Augusta. When it gets q foot
hold, il rever let's UP, and the painter
who uses Devoe Lead and Zinc is going
to save money for his patrons.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & CO..

There was burglary on a small
scale, on Mill street, Friday night. Pc
ter Duti1, Jr. keeps a little store in that
locality, where he sells corn cakes, can
dy and various other articles of a sim
liar nature, which appeal to youthful
appetites. Saturday morning, when
young Dutil opened UP his store for the
days trade the glass in the window
was found to be broken and the interior
showed that burglary had been COM
mitted. AS nearly as could be ascer-
tanned the goods stolen included one
case of corn cakes and some candy, and
the total loss would amount to about
three dollars. 1t was without doubt the
work of boys, but as yet there are no
clues to the perpetrators.

Probably the most uncomfortable

Probably the most uncomfortable
place in the city during the storm, Sat
urday, was the Kennebec bridge. No
one appreciated the force of the wind
until they found it in their way to cross
from one side of the river to the other.
The gale howled through the ironwork
of the structure in a way that made
walking very difficult while umbrellas
went wrong side out by the score, and
hats sailed away in the direction of the
insane asylum. Later, the flying hail
and snow cut ones face like knives,
and there was little travel over the
bridge except from necessity.
