This has pulled trees up out of the bottom of the river. But the latest sensation is the finding of bones in sand sent to Princetou. The sand was being put through a sifter when one large and one small bone were found. There is no telling but that the bones of some poor victim of the late wreck are being shipped m sections to different places.

He has an immense stock of goods and more will arrive in the next few days to supply the demand - , The acceptance of presents by teachers from pupils has been forbidden by a number of school boards throughout the state. This step has been taken because the boards believe that many ooor children are embarrassed at their inability to concontribute along with the other children. They also regard the practice as tendiug to influence the teacher's relations with the pupils. Hicks the went her prognosticator, has the following to say concerning the weather for the rest of the month of tOctober. Up to this time his predictions have been fuL filled: The 9;li and 10th will be central days of reactionary storm conditions, with moon at her full and near the celestial equator. Look for warmer weather oti the 10th, turning to high cold, northwesterly gales over the northern lake regions from about the 11th to 13th. A regular storm period extends from the 14th to 18th. The 21st and 22nd constitute another reactionary stonu center. From about the 25th to 39th we predict will fall the most general and heavy disturbances of the month. Heavy storms of rain and wind, attended by lightuing and thander to the south, will visit many sections within sixty hours of B o’clock p. m. on the 26th. No one need be surprised to find these storms turning j to sleet and snow in northern parts of the: country. j
