Eoe, F, A. 8., U Landoa Time*.) When the number representing any given year is even and exactly divisible by throe, that year is the middle one o throe cold and. tqgt Summers. When the number representing the year is odd nod divisible by three, then that yetr is the middle of a triad of day end hot Summers. Fox example, 1860 is oven and dU visible by throe, and the prevailing char acteristic of the three years, 1859, I860, 1861, was wet or wet and cohl ; and again, 1863 is odd and divisible by three, and everybody remembers 1862, 1863 and 18C4, as blight, hot and dry Summers.' '.T' Taking now a range of twenty-seven years oVer which my own personal ob. scrvations extend, and applying the ruloa just given, the wot and cold triads were 1853 ’55, 1859 ’61, 1865 ’67, 1871 73 and 1877 ’79, while the dry and hot triads were 1856 ’58, 1862 ’64, 1868 71 and 1874 76; and without claiming that no single year broke loose from this very order of fcasons, I fear- lessly maintain that til the markedly wet or dry Summers of the past twenty- seven years fall accurately within some wot or dry period as given above; so that no very wet year falls in what should have been a dry period, nor any very dry in what hypothetically was a wet period. The number 1881 is odd and divl-in- ble by three, and, if there is anything in my theory, that year ought to be the middle one in a triad of hot and dry Summers. I am looking forward, there fore, with much confidence to a good Summer iu 1880, followed by two siinU lirly good ones in 1881 and 1882, and for the sake of every interest in the country, I earnestly hope my cxpccta tion may not bo disappointed. The <tac«tlon of Baptinna. - *5 A protracted discussion of the ques tion of baptirm took place early yester day morning under a window of the Observer office, between two colored theologiana, the one a Baptist brother with an axe under his arm, and the other a Presbyterian sister, with a red handkerchief around her head. The controversy grew so loud and heated as to attract the attention of all passers. The brother stood flat-footed on the passage of Scripture which says that Christ went down into the water when baptised by John, and the sister's reply .to this was that anyhow the Bible didn’t say that he went down under the water, The brother paused for just owe minute to scratch his head, and the light of triumph beamed in the sister’s eye os alio took breath to ssy that the wafer business didn't amount to much any way, but that the sure enough baptism woe by the Holy Ghost and with fire. Bight here the Baptiah brother flew the track, and stepping be yond the boundary of legitimate dis cussion ungaliantly told the sister that when “they’’ undertook to bitytizo her with fire she would run. Wtth indigna tion in her face and Voice and manner, the sister picked up her skirts tnd marched away, shaking her head and muttering all manner of imprecations against “dem Baptises,” while the brother held the field and bowed down and slapped his leg with his disengaged hand, shifted his quid of tobacco to the other side of his mouth and laughed im moderately.—Charlotte Observer. 9 Married of Horseback.—Quite a a novel wedding took place on Tuesday of last week on the public road, near Lyon’s creek, in Calvert county. The contracting parties wore Mr. Horace Tell and a Miss Jones, both of Anne Arundel county. The officiating minis- tor, Rev. Mr. Shoaf, of Calvert county, was requested by the groomsman to ■tart from his home at 7 o'clock on the abort named morning, and he would do likewise, and the point on the road where they would meet should be made memorable by a novel wedding. This arrangement was carried out, and the bride and groom, on Horseback, met the reverend gentleman, and in the public road, seated on horseback, under the sheltering branches of a wide-spread ing oak, the happy couple were made man and wife.—Virginia paper.

HACKER & SON, lUKl'FACTCBEM OF <?• 3 * .Lamp Lighted bt Lightning.— During the prevalence of a storm a few evenings since, tho telegraph operator at King’s Mountain went to his office os . usual after tea, and turned on the key of the instrument. His lamp, a glass one, vru Bitting within a few inches of the plug, and as'he turned to get a match to light it, there come a brilliant flash of Bgbtaing, a flame bunt all over the in- atrament, tod the lamp was lighted in an instant. Tho occurrence was vtit' ■eased by two other persons, besides the operator himself. The lamp was not in jured in the slights* degree. Had it not bean entirely of glass, a non-conductor, the result would doubtless have been different, as the operator would have had ooeasion to know.—Charlotte Observer.
