to arrive and install the street lamps and gen
orator Plumbers from Hanover and West
minister are at work preparing houses as rapid
" as possible. Nearly fifty applications have

of men have been engaged for some time digg
ing a well to be used in generating the gas.
One Of the most important things under con
sideration is the lighting of the town. The
present council has not fully decided what
they will DO. In the first place it was with
the understanding that a gas plant should be
installed so as to have better town light, con.
sequently nothing was done, until number
Of our progressive energetic aud wide awake
business men concluded to form q company.
A present we are paying nearly 500 for light
ulone, and have no light. Quite number OF
the lamps have taken tumble, others are on
q lean and some are lost. Soon We Will be
compelled to purchase new lamps which will
cost from $50 to 500. Why not RAISE the

The first storm period in January is central
on the 2nd, aud covers the list to the 9th.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 2nd,
3rd and Ali will be the days on which the
disturbances of this period will reach a crisis.
BY the LIST, noticeable rise of temperature
will appear to the west, attended by falling
barometer and increasing cloudiness. Rain
and snow will promptly follow and pass pro
gressIvely from western 10 eastern parts OF the
country during the 2nd, Bird and 4th. BY
regular stages this cold wave will spread east
and south. being felt almost or quite TO the
Gulf aud the Atlantic between the 4,h and the
18th.
A reactouary storm period is central on the
It'll. Sih aud 9th. From the sth TO the llth,
look for a marked fall of the barometer, thick
and prolonged cloudneSs, and heavy sleet and
snow storms over most central and northern
sections. In the south rains will be the order,
while on western and northern TANKS of storm
areas billiards need surprise no one. From
about the 10th to the 18th, look for gales from
the northwest aud severe and wide spread
cold wave, reaching quite to the gulf.
A regular storm period is central on the
18th, extending from the 18th TO the 10th.
Storms of this period will reach their Cululn
ating stage on and touching the 10th. In
western sections falling barometer and rising
storms by the 18th to 18th, and during the
l4th, 10Th and 10th they will grow IN extent
and activity as they pass over the country IN
daily progress from west to east. On the
10th and on the 18th, marked storms Of rain,
sleet and snow will eliminate, being crowded
closely from the northwest by high barometer
and another cold wave. Do not forget that
storms, billiards. and cold waves do not drop
down all over the continent in lump, a some
wiseacres would seem to demand, but that
they travel progressively like vast trains from
west to east.
A reactionary storm period is central on

Capt. Smith Resigns.


Capt. Claude Tilden Smith has rendered
his resignation as Captain Of Co. II to the
Adit Gen. Of Nd, on account Of the iucresS-
ing demands of business which prevent his
devotion Of the time demanded of a company
commander. Capt. Smith has served FIVE
years in the National Guard, in which time be
has been acting Battalion Adjutant IN one and
Company Commander in three encampmeuts.
In the Baltimore FIRE service Capt. Smith
commanded Co. II as 2nd Lieut., and the
company under his command was clearly the
most efficient and best disciplined company
on that duty. While the company is rated
ninth in the regiment, according to the report
Of the last inspection, the officers and non
commissioned officers of the company are
rated third for efficiency in the First Regi-
ment, and are ranked by but one company in
the Fourth Regiment At the last encamp-
ment Capt Smith was highly commended by
the Brigadier General at :he camp inspection,
aud at all the different field exercises Co. II
was excelled by none. Lieut.. II. L. kneisley,
the ranking officer of the company, will be
placed in command until an election is held

of those invited dropped in, but Mr.. Brown,
the clerk, asked all to wait until she arrived.

question. By 10 o clock the office was packed,
vet no satisfaction was given, and he went to
the front, the signal was given and the guests
fled into the dining room. Mr.. Crout was
sent for hurriedly and the cause of the gather:
ing was explained. Cold roast turkey, cold
