Hicks’ predictions for December are as follows: “The month of December will be one of the most severe that we have experienced in years. It is not likely that the storms will be dangerous because they do not come at the period of the year when dangerous storms are to be expected. But you will get all the old fashioned blizzards you want during the last part of that month. Things will grow interesting about the 19th of the month, and will continue until December 30th. We will have good sprinkling of bad weather before that for winter will begin early and be a cold one, but the center 61 the front period begins December 19th. During this time the influence of M^rawill be added to others, producing f| connection in the earth’s atmosphere which will be felt $»y all the inhabi- tants.” v UF fm*" y— ifr A Washington dispatch to tha New York Sun says: “A Ken tucky friend of Secretary Carlisle is authority for the statement to day that the law firm of Cleveland & Carlisle will be doing business in New York city early in March of the coming year. It is said to be the intention of the President to provide places for Secretary of the Navy Herbert and Postmaster General Wilson after March 4, on the Bench of the Federal Judici ary. There are at present several vacancies, the most desirable of which is the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Claims in this city, and it is said that there will soon be another vacancy of equal im portance caused by the contempla ted resignation of Justice Cox, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.” Palmer and Buckner carried Dudley, Kan., by one vote.

C., but of late years of Ocala. The man and woman came here from Ocala two weeks ago, and. have frequently quarrelled. To day Wilkes weut to the woman’s room, and after a quarrel threw her on the bed and choked her until she was dead. The murderer coolly walked out of the house, and the body was not foond until half an hour later. Wilkes was captured by a barber as he was riding out of town on a bicycle. He drew two pistols, but the barber got the drop, and * him over to the police. From let- ,r ters found in the room it, that Wilkes had planned the m der and intended to commit but his nerve failed him, maiden name of Mrs. Caraway is ■ not known.

The President has th»t b# does not anticipate any tfoublgw ith Spain over the Cuban nituation and that there is no inteDtiA to change the policy respecting the matter which was laid down by the adminisbiaiion a year ago.

The dog played his game with extraordinary intelli gence, stopping the ball with his head when it was going against his team, and upon every occasion on winch he got possession of it he ran with it in his mouth, and despite all opposition of his oppon ents carried it triomphaotly through the goal. The game lasted about 25 minutes in the presence of a large gathering, and ended with much excitement in the dog’s team winning by ten goals to nil.
