CONVENTION - The County Convention of the W. C. T.U. i was held in the Evangelical church. Zurich, on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week and was a success in everything but numbers, the attend- ance of delegates being only about half of what was expected. This, however was largely compensated for by the interest and attendance of the local public and the energy and activ- ity of those who had the oversight of the work in hand. The programme was largely gone over, and the addres- ses given by the several difierent speakers participating, are said to have been of high order and much a- bove the average, while the other numbers were alike creditable and in- teresting. The evening meetings were eepecially well attended and interest- ing, as evidenced by the order and de- corum which prevailed during the ex- tra long sessions.- The Rev. W. J. Yager, pastor of that church, presided at the first meeting, and generally bad something to say which was both appropriate, instructive and interest- ing. Mrs. Paulin,of Dashwood. pre- sided P sided at the seconevening meeting, and the Rev. Mr. Knowles, of Credi- ton, the principal speaker. The elec- tions of officers for the county for the coming year resulted as follows: - Mrs. Paulin,Dashwood ; President,wo d Vice-PresMrs. Acheso, Goderich ; Cor -Sec., Miss Steinbach, Zurich ; Rec-Sec., Mrs. Hooper,Exeter ; Treas. Mrs. Seale, Clinton. The plan of work for the coming year was read by Mrs. Acheson. It was decided to hold the next annual convention of the W. C. T. U. at Goderich. REv, IRL KICKS' FORECASTs.- Aut- umnal thunder storms and squalls will be natural in many sections on the 6th and 7th. Look for decided change to cooler in the west as these storms pass eastward, the cool, clearing weather following the storms to the extreme east.The change to fair and cooler oler will be retarded until after the moon passes north of the equator on the 7th. Otherwise it would culminate about the full moon on the 6th. -Weather changes will come in rapid succession time,but we believe that the at thist dominant sate of the weather will be warm about the average. The 9th, 10th and lltb are reactionary storm days, on and about which, marked storm conditions will arise. The op- position of the great planet. Jupiter. falls on the llth, which is known by all who have long followed our theory to be the centzal day of a regular, an- nual maximum of magnetic and elec- trical excitation. All things consid• erect atmospheric and seismic pertur- bations of wide and violent character would he quite natural any where Within a week or ten days of the 11th. The period is covered by the Mars. Earth and Venus disturbances and. all indications of approaching storms should be promptly noted and heeded, Very higli temperatures, if followed by electrical storms at this time,, will suddenly fall to very cool -possibly to the frost line northward.
