This per- iod will tint come to its full culmina- tion before the time of New Moon on the 25th. Low barometer and threat- ening weather will appear perhaps with storms, before that date, but the temperature will keep up, and storm conditions will intensify until after the' Lith. Indeed, the Moon being on the celestial equator on the 20th, sev- ere electrical storms on and touching that date may bridge the interval and cause a continuance of storm condi• tions into the last period of the month. The lath is the centre of another seis- mic period of about five days. Barn Horned to Stephen.

The whole contents of the Imalt..ng were burned and it wag with difnanity they saved the machine. Being nearly a new barn the lois to Mr. l'enhale will be considerable. The building and con- tents were insured in the (lay Sloths! for itionn hot Mr. 1'enhele will only rt aalize >Itaillt, which will not neat 1y eserer the loss.
