The Fourth is but two days oil" and it can be safely predicted that thero will be little or nothing doing in or about these parts on that eventful occasion, in the way of the usual noisy demonstra tion, unless perhaps the gun club should take a notion to crack a lew clay birds, which the boys are now holding under advisement.

Had this measley fling been accompanied by a cartoon or special headline, the whole Blizzard push would now be lanquisbing iu jail, under the Grady -Sal us bill. It lained Sunday afternoon in this town, or perhaps it would be nearer the mark to say the heavens opened aud let down a torrent of moisture the likes of which has uot been seen here for many a day. The sewers were not big enough by a half to take all the water that camo down, aud the streets, lawns and lanes were deluged for the space of uearly two hours, doing considerable damage to gar dens, many of which were under water several inches deep for pretty much the balance of the day.

There is a story going the rounds of the western papers about twin brothers, one ol whom was demented and was or dered by the court to to be committed to an asylum. The oilier brother accom panied him to the Institution. Soon after the twin brothers had arrived at tho asy lum the sheriff received a telegram from the superintendent, saying, "Two men who look just alike here from your county. One for commitment.

The contests usually attract good au diences, but the attendance record was broken last Saturday evening when the opposing teams consisted of Ab. Grovo aud Lawyer Ritchey vs. Landlord Wea ver aud Judge Irwin. The grounds were lined with people on either side of the "court," and the way Weaver and the Judge mopped the ground with Ab. and Hit -hey was a sight to behold. It was easily the most entortaining game of the series, and it's like will probably not again be witnessed this season, uuless the Judge and Albert could be pitted against one another iu a single-handed game. An exchange is accountable for the following: "In the year 1810 there was a sharp frost in every mouth of the year iu the Northern States. It was known as the year without a summer. Tho farmers used to relur to it as eighteen hundred and starve to death. Iu May ice formed half an inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen, and corn was killed all over the State. Frost, Ice and snow were common in June throughout Pennsylvania, and snow fell 5 inches deep in New York, and in Massachusetts 10 inches deep on June 10. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the filth ice formed to the thickness of window glass, and throughout New England corn was near ly all destroyed in many sections. In August ice formed hair an inch thick."
