Veiinor'g predictions for January
Mr. Yennor, the Cnndian weath
er prophet, having como very near
the exact condition of tho weather
for december ip his predictions, his
forecast of what may be expected
in January becomes of interest. Mr.
Vennov, says: “I anticipate that
New Year's callers will Iqive heavy
sleighting this year from Montre
al to Washingtop, and thrt a cold
snap during the first part of this
montk will preserve it for that pe
riod. I expect blockades of snow
in theUnited States about the 7th
and 8th of January, and rainy Jays
during tho lueuth will bo exceed
ingly few. Tho second quarter will
open with heav snow falls and ter
minate in a cold snap. 7he mid
dle of of the month will bring snow
falls, which will termitato in mil
der weather toward the end of the
third quarter* The thaw, which
will be interrupted by a brief cold
spell, will extend from about the
18th of the month into Februtry.
The record of this month will show
it to have been a Bcvero one, • and
the general conditions of the weatli-
er will remind ns of sorno of
what are called real old fashioned
winters.
UNSEEMLY HASTE.
I can’t abide to sec men throw
away their tools in that way the
minute the clock begins to strike,
as if they took no pleasure in their
work, and was afraid of doing a
stroke too much. I hate to *?oo n
man’s arm drop down as if lie
was shot,before tho clock hasfiiirly
struck, just as if he’d never a bit
of pride and delight in his-work.
The very grind stone will go on
turning a hit after you loose i,t.—

Jones, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Now Hampshire. They sny
|h"t on the night of the election he went
to bed early, realizing that he bad been
defeated, lie soon fc)| asleep, and
dreamed that there was to occur a rise
on barley. Ho arose bright nnd early
the next pn.qyning, and acting upon his
dreaqj, get out p^ccliasiqg gfain. Ho
bougb^ 200,000 bushels. I11 a few days
the price advanced 30 cents n bushel,

cleared just ffl-5,000. Stock in dreams

Tho following is a statement of the
population of certain of the Southern
