A Regular Stultn Period covers the
first fie days of August, having its
cent 1 e an Sunday the 2nd. The `loon
is 0 the celestial crfnator on the 2nd
and at first quarter on the 5;11. As
early as the 2nd the barometer will
fall to storm reading in western and
central sections, attended by cloudi-
ness and severe thunder -gusts. I)ur•
ing the :tel, Ith and 5th, these condi-
tions e;11 pass across the country to
the Atlantic, breaking into severe

localities. {1s mK1nt1

This change will follow in the wake of
the storms. touching twist parts of
the co.nitry in the eastward progress

—did not notice Mr. Allen's rig in tune

iately reproved to Dr. Browning's sur•
gery where bis wounds were dressed,
after which be was removed to the
home of his uncle, Mr. John Bell,
where he is now resting quietly and
doing as well as can be expected, but
is still in a critical condition.
