DUNGANNON FAIR. -The Dungannon Fair was held on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 3 an] 4, Friday was a beautiful autumn clay, just the kind that the pro- moters ofthe • a' Fair were wishing for, and this ensured the financial success of tate exhibition. The crowd, while not the largest seen on the Dungannon Fair grounds, was a big one and 'Treasurer Roberts smiled as he counted• up the gate receipts, about $450. The ex- hibition itself was hardly up to the standard of previous years, owing probably to the same anuses as affected other Fairs in Ibis district. There was a fine display of horses and cattle, but iu some of the indoor departments there was a marked falling off, This was not the case, however, in regard to fruit ; there was a fine display of apples.

He says the month of October is, as a rule the time when decided changes take place in weather conditions in the Northern hemisphere. Boreal storms set in from polar directions and dominate- atmos- pheric conditions on sea and land. Storms on the North ;Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and over all the great lakes, assume a fiercer and more Winter - like aspect making navigation on the lakes especially more hazardous and un- certain. But u the indications for the present October are that milder weather will prevail as a rule forcing We severe storms and inclement weather ordinarily due in October later into November. All haste and care in completing out- door work should be exercised during October. The Venus equinox extends its perturbing influence over all the last half of November insuring very disa- greeable and stormy weather. Far- mers. shippers and dealers in perishable commerce, will save themselves tremble and loss and danger by heeding this warning ; preparations should be made in gathering crops in October and perishable fruits shrubbery and all outdoor interests should be properly safe -guarded before the evil November storms and weather. Remember these kindly suggestions and save yourselves later loss regret and suffering, Church Chimes jjNext Sabbath evening Rev.
