BENEDICT, Committee. THE ItEIOX OF TEKItOK. The Cincinnati Commercial Dec. 31 soys thirty-six persons arrived in that city from Kentucky, on the 30th, having been driven from thoJState for the crime of believing slave, ry to be a moral and political evil. They are from Berea and vicinity in Madison county.

Among the exiles aro Rev. J. A. 11. Rogers, principal of a flourishing school at Berea, and his family; J.

D. Reed and familv; John S. Hanson and family; (Mr. Hanson is a native of Kentucky, and a hard-working, thrifty man. Ho had recently erected a steam saw mill, and owns fivo hundred acres ofland in Madison county, Ky.) The Rev.

J. F. Boughton; E. T. Hayes and S.

Lite, carpenters; A. G. Parker, a native of South Carolina: Tonev. a native of Tennessee; John Smith, a native of Ohio, a farmer, who has lived in Kentucky some yoars. Mr.

Smith is described by Mr. Fee as a gray-haired father, a man of prayer indeed of eminent piety and usefulness. More than half of the exiles are native? of Southern States, and several are native Ken tuckians. Ata pro-slavery meeting held at Richmond, at which, according to the Kentucky pap ers, the "oldest, most respectablo and law- abiding citizen-) were in attendance," it was resolved on thegroundof -'self-preservation," to appoint a committee of sixty-five, to remove from among them J. G.

Fet, J. A. It. Rogers, and so many of their associates, as in their liest judgment, the peace and safety of M)ciety may require. The committee were instructed to perform this duty "deliboratoly and humanely as may he, but most effectually." The cuiutuittee were ordered to carry out the deigns of the meeting within ten day, and Mr.

Roger thus describes tne warning which lie received "I in hi outtnge, when a summons for him to appear was heard. On going to the dor, he dirOoveroJ an Imposing oavalea ie, sixty -five well ted men beiug drawn up in warlike array. He was informed that he had ten day in which to leave the State. This wae on the 2.id December, lie ic.H them that he had consci-oatlv vialutod any law of the Commonwealth, and that, if he had nnc nsciously done he would be most happy to be tried according to law. He was informed that they did not know that he had violated any kiw, bat that hie principles were incompatible with the public peace, and that he must go.

The charge against hiin wa, abolitionism the penalty, expulsion the State. harsh or personally disrespectful language its- area. He waf even told with much courtey of word and manner, that be was esteuined a gentleman, but presence wu 'tfensive on ho-eonut tiie princip es. I'hey lai it down as an axiom that sue a sentiment- su he entertained wtrc not to he tolerated by a slavcholding people that abolition doct: inef and Elaveholding were not to be permitted together that one or the other must gn. They warned him peaeeably but any amount of force necessary to carry out the objects of the KicfaoMiitd meeting would be unhesitatingly employed.

They aptMRted now in ima. bt if did not heed the warning they would re-appear for war." A cowmittC" the proscribed waited ou Gov. MaRofBn with a jtetition for thir protection. It it a principle with ns, ey th- to submit to evury ordinance cf man for th-- Lord's sake unto govornors as onto them that are tent by Him for the of evil doers and the praise of thorn that do well," an-1 in asoirdanoe with this principle we have been obedient in all respects to the laws of this State. Within lew week evil a ad faiee reports hare been put into circulation, imputing to us, motive', words and conduct calculated to inflame the public mind, which imputation are utterly false and groundless.

These imputations we have publicly denied and offered every facility for the ful-lost itivottifation, whieh we hare earnestly but vainly sought. On" Friday too 23d a company of sisty-two uion, claiming to have been appointed by a meeting of the citizens of our county, without any shadow of legal authority, and in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of the United States, called at our respective residences and places of business, ami notified us to leave the county and State, and be without this county and State within ten days, and handed us the accompanying document, in which you will see that unless the said order be proinptl- complied with, that tlioro is expressed a fixed determination to rctuovo us by force. In view of theo facts, which we can substantiate by the fullost evidence, we respectfully pray that you, in tho exercise of the power rested in you by the constitution and made your duty to use, do protoct us in our rights as legal citizens of the commonwealth of the State of Kentucky. But Governor Magjffin told them he could not protect them, and Advised thorn, for the sake of preserving the peace of the State, to leave it." Awful Accident. The awful catastrophe at Lawrence, January 10, exceeds anything of the kind which we remember to have happened in this country.

The Pemberton Mill was a large main building, six stories high with two sai all wings. It contained GOO looms and about 30,000 spindles. About 600 operatives were employed in it. Some of these had left the bnilding at 3 o'clock and some were in the wings, but the great body of thein were in thy -main building which about Syo o'clock fell into a mass of ruin. Every effort was put forth to rescue thoe who were alive.

Tt is said that 60tne of tho rescuers lost their own Uvea in their humane attemrts to save those of others. From Boston, Lowell, MancLKter, and other places near by surgeons, fire companies, and others, were sent with all possible despatch, to help rescue the yet living, and to minister to tho wounded. To add to tho horror of the calamity, a little before midnight firo broke out in the ruins, and soon tho whole mass was enveloped in flames. Many persons buried in tho ruins, yet aliw, were burned to death, or6uffocated. The screams and moans of those perishi from wounds, suffocation and fire, and bc3ond all rsach of human aid, were heart-rendirg to all who heard them.

It was at first supposed that not less than 200 persons perished in the flames but the last accounts lessen the number of dead greatly; but at best the number is very great considerably over a hundred, and nearly twice as many wounded. Countt Convention to nominate Cou-uissioner. Our readers will find the call for a nominate a County Commissioner in our columns. An "old fashioned" full-and spirited meeting of the friends of Temperance in the County for discussion and mutual enoouragemcnt and instruction, is greatly needed. Arrangements are in progress to connect such a meeting with tho Convention, concerning -which wa shall be able' to make a definini to announcement next week.

"In-the meanwhile we trust that all to whom the call -is addressed will remember the day (a week from next Tuesday, and arrange to be present in person or by representative. MR. SEWARD'S RECEPTION AT ATJRUftN. Tho reception of Hon. W.

On the platform, on the west side of the depot, were stationed the boys representing the District Schools of the city, each boy bearing a small banner in his hand, with the inscriptions AVelcome to Senator Seward. God bloss the friend of our School. And other appropriate devices. Directly over their heads was stispended a large banner with the glowing words Tho Pnblio Schools to the TiFtinirutsbed Friend of Edueation. nij is the praise who consults his own clear heart and boldly dares to if.

In passing through his gate, the Senator found the clergy of every denomination and sect in tho city, gathered in line to welcome him in person.

It is expected that by next month three thousand foot about ono-seventb of tho whole distanco will have been bored on both sides, which will entitle the contractors to the third instalment of State scrip of $30,000.

Last year the subject of a new Town-Poor House came prominently before tho voters of this Town at March meeting. Tho subject wa' not altogether a new one to the minds of tho voters, but at that time tho Selectmen and the Overseer of the Poor presented the necessity for a prompt and liberal action with so much distinctness and emphasis that delay seemed no longer admissible. "With hearty unanimity tho Town voted an appropriation of for that purpose, and left the execution of the work to a committee of the Seloctmpn and tho Overseer of the Poor.

To insure a proper construction of tho house, so far as the health of the inmates was concerned, Dr.TVm. C. Hickok was associated with the committee. The new building was completed about six weeks ago. and tho inmates of tho old, dilapidated, and comfortless shell were transferred to their new and wholesome quarters.

We had the satisfaction of going through the new building a day or two since, in company with Mr. Huntington, the Overseer of the Poor, and Mrs. Miller, tho efficient matron of tho establishment, and we aro sure a briof description of it will bo acceptable to our fellow citizens. The building, a two story brick one 48 feot square on the ground, stands a few rods west of tho old one on the Town farm, containing about 70 acres, on the bank of Shol-bnrncBay. The situation is open, pleasant and healthy.

The building is built with hollow walls, thus promoting dryness and warmth, and with wide overhanging eaves all around, an 1 a small lookout from the top. The basement has in it a fair sized kitchen, a largo dining room, a wash and bath room, two store rooms, one bed room and a large cellar. A proper ventilating arrangement extends from the lower room to tho open air above the building. A good cooking stove and other culinary conveniences are in the kitchen. The first story, altogether above ground, contains one large ward, in which there is a coal burning stove; two convenient sleeping rooms to be occupied by persons of different sexes the keeper's room with coal burner in it and four bed rooms.

There is also a well arranged water closet for the use of the sick and infirm. In the second story there are 4 large bed rooms. 2 wards, a store room for bedding, 2 vacancies for cells not yet completed, and a water closet for the sick and helpless. These rooms derive'tbeir necessary warmth from dumb stoves heated by the stoves below The roomb are all high between joints, plainly but well finished, with ample means of ventilation over the doors. The bedsteads irnn and evervthi about the establishment betokens attention to healtn, cleanliness and comfort.

There are two new cisterns and a well, and the arrangements for the n.e of water are very convenient. The old "shop" so called was moved west of the nw building and put in good condition for a wagon house and woodshed, and h.iuse for farm iinpieinenU. li tli with the work, the plan and the cost we feel sure the voters of the town will be well Moreover, besides the change from the squalor and discomfort unavoidable in the old concern to the neatness and comfort of the new, we are satisfied there will cocie a great lessening of tbe annual expense for the support of tho Town's poor, a bill which at best is inevitably a large one From Correspondence of tho Atlas Bee. Washington. Jan.

1S60. And still tho weary work goes on in the hall of the House of Representatives, the work of disorganization carried on by the Democratic Disunionists, and the wheels of fovernment aro clogged, honest creditors are efrauded of their just dues, the bitter sectional feelings of the Southern people arc daily inflamed by incendiary, disunion speeches and tho pitiful spectaclo of a tumultuous, disorderly, and somotimaj partially inebriated crowd filled by American legislators, is presented to the gaze ol the country. Hon. Frank P. Blair, returned, this morning, from St.

Louis, and has collected much additional evidence to show his clear riiht to his seat. He has positive proof that ho actually received more than four hundred votes more than were returned for him, besides abundant evidence of illegal votes cast for Mr. Bar oit. A recent trans jction of the President is likely to excite some attention, and as it snows the reckless conduct of that functionary, I will give you the facts as they are reported iu conversational circles. There is a law in tho United States which authorizes our Consuls in foreign mntrics to take testimony in cases where the attendance of witnesses cannot be secured.

There is a suit pending in the courts of California of the Alameda Mining Company vs. a United States gvoernment officer, and some oi the witnesses residing in Mexico cannot mado to go to San Francisco to testify. The cousel for tiie company notified the President that they should proceed to take their testimony before tho American Consul in Mexico. The President assented to this, but when the attorney arrived at Mexico he found that the President and Attorney General Black had bent instructions to tho consul to rcie to take the testimony Thus the company are defrauded of their evidence, and that too by the direct interference of tho government, which is really tho other party to tho suit. Thus tho President assumes arbitrarily to huspend the operation of a law of tho land.

You have doubtless noticed tho "'gas" that has been let out on account of Senator Mason of Virginia coming into the Senate clad in a suit of Virginia homespun gray. I heard a good joke on this from a Southern man. When he read the statement about Mason's gray clothes ho remarked Mason always did look just like an overseer Mr. Miles of South Carolina, who is one of the most moderate and gentlemanly of the Southern members, has justfinished a speech able and interesting, but announcing a deliberate purpose of disunion unless South Carolina and the slavcholding interest of the country can have their way eternally in the affairs of this government. Miles thinks tho South is really in earnest and in favor of a dissolution of the Union, and that they could accomplish it.

As Senator "Wade said to them, then why don't they go out now; if they put if off they may be too late. A letter was received yesterday here lrom a Boston gentleman who has gone South for his health, which stated that on the first day out from Washington ho had a pistol held to his head, and that he was dogged by four Southern men for hundreds of miles, annoyed and insulted until he challenged the whole crowd of them to fight him, whereupon they backed out. Sinco his arrival at his place of destination, all his nowspapcrs from Boston I have been withheld from him, and his letters ham been hrnken onen before thev reach ed the Post Office to which they were sent is not this a lree country uugm nor. cos-ton men to feel proud of theLunte and Cush-ings and Gardners, who get down on their marrow bones to these Southern brethren of ours who thus abuse and insult peaceablo eitiiens nf Bnston. steal their letters and newspapers, and make it impossible for them to travel in one-tialt ot tno union wnnoui peril to their lives and the loss of all comfort.

Let Boston men consider these things. Tho Republicans now stand before the nation in tho attitudo of preventing tho organization of Congress. Alb. Atlas Argus. That is, the Republicans by steadily casting for one man, a sound and able Republican, votes enough within three or four to elect him by a majority over all, are responsible for tho utterly scattered and disorganized votes of all the rest, voting in numberless shifting squads of one, two, five, ten, thirty, and in a fow instances of eighty-six each the republicans meanwhile holding their tongues while their bitterest assailantsare spending day after day and week after week in talking on matters which havo no business to be talked of at all till the House is organized, and in threatening to dissolvo the Union, if the Republican candidate is elected THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.

FIRST SESSION. "Washington, Jan. 9, 18G0. Senate. Messrs.

Seward and Douglas appeared in their seats. The attendance was slim. Mr. Gwin of Cal. introduced a bill to organize the territory of Nevada.

Referred. Mr. Brown of Ky. gavo notico of a bill to establish a Government Printing Office. Mr.

Mr. Wilson of Mass. presented the petition of a Committee of the people of Boston against the removal of the Post Office. Mr.

Lane of Oregon offered a resolution calling on the President for the Correspondence of Gen. "Wiufield Scott and Gen. Harney, in regard to the Island of San Juan. Adopted. Mr.

Adopted.

Mr. Mallory of Fla presented a memorial from the citizens of Charleston for the establishment of a steaniship line from Charleston to Havana. Referred. Mr. F-ster being excused from the special committee on tho Hotimas land grant, on motion of Mr.

Toombs the committee was reduced to four. Mr. Wilson introduced a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to communicate a statement of the exports and imports and tonnage of the British North American colonies, distinguishing Canada from the others. Adopted. Mr.

Dixon, of addressed the Senate in opposition to the President's recommendations in regard to the Amistad claim. going into a lengthy history of the case. He contended that there was no legal claim upon this Government. Slaves had never lieen re cognized as property nationally, but only locally. He quoted the letter of Piesident in support of this position, and read from Spanish and other laws to show that slaves could not be considered as property.

He also nuoted the opinion of Justice Story. si- oved to tnke up Mr. Pugh's resolution, offered last wcck. Mr. Iverson said the Senator from Ohio charged him with having advocated in while a member of tho lower House, tho doctrine of ronular sovereignty.

He admitted it but he had repented and recanted his error. He now regarded it as the djty of Congress to protect by enactment Slavery in the T-rritories, and denied the right of Congress to prohibit Slavery therein. He then explained his action on the Oregon bill in 1S5S, and went into a history of the legislation of Congress since 1848, on this subject. In the course of his remarks, Iverson denounced Douglas and the Northern Democracy generally, as occupying a'position as objectionable as that of the "Wilmot Proviso Republicans. He wished the Charleston Convention to adopt an unmistakeablo plat form asserting and carrying out to tho fullest extent, the Dred Scott decision.

Ho did not want one liko the Cincinnati Platform, which could be interpreted differently to suit the views of different sections of the country. Unless that Convention did so, ho would not support their nominee except from necessity, and then only if ho approved the views of tho nominee. He could support Mr. Breckinridge or Mr. Stephens of Georgia even with a defective platform, but under no circumstances could ho vote for Mr.

Douglas. His rejection by the Charleston Convention and the Southern people was a foregone conclusion. His doctrines were as disastrous as those of the republicans and he had. therefore, forfeited all claims to tho support of tho South. Ho had deserted the party at a critical juncture and dono moro than any other man to defeat tho party policy on the Lecompton issue.

If he wished to get back into the party ho must atone by yoars of service for his error beforo ho could regain their confidence. Ho thought tho Northern democracy generally were unsound, having in their State conventions, California not excepted, sustained the ctrino of popular sovereignty. The old wbv rty, which twenty years ago was as sound a tne pit sent democracy, has been swept away, and nothing was left of them except Edward Everett, Robert C. AVinthrop and a few others, whoso dechrations were mere sound and fury, signifying nothing, and who could not control a single vote. "With a single exception the Senators on the other side had denied by their votes tho right of property in slaves.

Mr. Doolittlo of "Wis. 6aid ho supposed ho was the exception referred to. He desired to say that, in his opinion, property in man rested only upon tho laws of the sovereign States, anil not by virtue of the Constitution. Mr.

Iverson said he was sorry to find not one honorable man on that side who would recognize property in slaves. EIc concluded by referring to Mr. Seward's irerpressiblo conflict doctrine, aud regarded the -election of a democrat to the Presidency as necessary to a preservation of tho Union. If a black republican were elected he would advocate a dissolution of the Union. Such a choice would be inclusive evidenc- of the settled hostility of the northern mind.

What would bo the value of tho Union kept together by the bayonet. We hear such vaporings on this floor, but they generally come from men who would be the last to undertake the job. Let these bragadocio hotspurs come to the South and enforce their views, and they would not bo shown the chance extended to tho friends of John Brown, but would be hung up like dogs.

FUnagm v. Wood St. John. The plaintiff, as sheriff attached some cattle on a farm in Milton, took a leaso of the farm, and left the property in charge of a servant. In tho temporary absence of the servant, tho defendants came to the place, attached tho same cattle, drovo them away and sold them on an execution.

The question of law is whether there had been such a change in tho possession of the property, between the debtor and the plaintiff, as to enable the lat-t to hold it against the subsequent attachment and sale by the defendants. G. F. Edmunds for Plaintiff, H. B.

In Staff v. Peter McDonnell, the Court order tho Tcrdiet of the jury to be set aside and the cajo re manded for a new trial. The opinion of the court i is delivered by Ch'f Justice Kedfield, in the cvirse of which ho said that the rule, criminal casej, il. in rlnturtninii the laic as uroll 1 luai uiojuivi. as the fact, is sure to gain ground in the favor all who prefer liberty to logical precision.

If jurors are intrusted with the power of overruling the judges on points of law, they ore not likely to abuse it, butjwill apply it only to extraordinary cases. In the present case, however, the County judgo was not wrong in telling the jury that it was an exceptional rule and only allowed as a matter of favor to tho prisoner. The charge was in tho miin correct, but a remarkable and objectionable feature in it, was that tho theory of the defence was entirely omitted- It is customary in civil, much more in criminal, cases, for the judge not only to explain tho law to the jury but to make it applicable to the ease in hand. Circumstances to render the guilt of the respondent doubtful were numerous. AH those circumstances should havo been alluded to in the charge.

Thero was considerable testimony calculated to redueo tho crime to manslaughter, whieh tho Judgo did not appear to havo found in the case or to havo considered worth while to ca'l tho attention of tho Jury to. The case is therefore remanded for a now trial. In Xichols v. Muigett the judgment of tho court below for plaintiff is affirmed. In the opinion, delivered by Aldis, J.

"th, I860. Messrs. Editors of the Free Press As I am a Vermonter, and acquainted with your paper, the Free Press, I assume the libertv of sending jou a few lines concerning a little musical prodigy, a girl aged three years last a child of Mr. Andrew Story 2d, of this town, in whose family I am now boarding. She can play ten or twelve tunes on the Melodoon, with four parts, and in the most correct time.

She seldom looks on, and will talk about other things while she is playing. She imitates by hearing her little sister aud myself play, and by my showing her a little, when she is willing, which is very seidom. I think, had she h'ard music, she would have played at two years of age as she could sing well at tho age of one year. It is four months since she commenced to play. She improves every day.

Her fingering is good, and it is amusing to seo her little baby fingers slide so gracefully, and apparently without effort, over tho keys.On the 27th day of Dec. last, she played at an entertainment of tableaux vivants, Ac, at the Town Hall in Wen-ham before a crowded audience, with as much confidence and indifference, as an experienced performer; never once refusing to play, and looking at the people all the time, though she had to turn her head around, as her back was to the audience. The Salem Gazette in speaking of the entertainment, eays, "She was tho novel feature of the occasion. Yours, Haxxah Choate Marshall. VERMONT ITEMS.

An Irishman, partially insane, living near Barton, travelled nearly two miles barefoot, on Tuesday night of last week, the thermometer being at 26 below Both his feet wero completely frozen. A small steam boiler exploded last week in tho carriage factory ot Goodrich and Haw-ley of Vergenncs. Two men wero standing in front of the boiler but a moment beforo, but had moved away far enough to essipo with slight scalds.

Thero has been good crossing on tho ice at Basin Harbor for a fortnight. Tho Citizen says thero has not been crossing with teams, at that point, in December for nearly 30 ysczri previous. Stages now run from Burlington to Platts-burgh by way of tho Island.

Mr. "William Ainsworth, conductor on the passenger train on tho Sullivan Railroad, had his arm badly smashed on Tuesday morning of last week, at "Windsor, while attempting to shackle a train of cars.

Picayune," in a recent letter to his paper, written from his home in Texas has tho following: I have spoken of fresh tomatos, moro for tho purpose of giving my experience as to the mode of keeping them in winter than anything else.

I was in San Antonio on the 9th of November, and on inforu ing a gentleman that I had a heavy crop of tomatoes, which 1 was fearful a frost might destroy, he told me to cut off tho vines close to the ground whenever I anticipated a freeze, hang them up in my cellar, and whenever I wished to ripen a mesa, placca a vine out in the sun. Just before tho frost of tho 12th of November I followed his plan, and now havo bushels of tomatos in my cellar which I can ripen as I wish to use them. U.

"The precipitate abandonment of these black republican officials of every plank in their platform of 1856, with their special appeal to "the People's Party in Pennsylvania" is such an ex-posare of the weakness of their organization, bat common prudence would have dictated its concealment. Bat black republicanism feels itself essentially played out, and it is now adopting the desperate game of a 'national dodge." Sentinel.

We take the foregoing from an article entitled "Sectionalism backing down" in the Burlington Stnlinel of Jan. 6. Other assertions in it might also be noticed with equal fitness, but as for the most part they are enveloped in the wind and fr th of abusive slang epithets which the democratic papers generally indulge in so freely when speaking of the Republicans, their doctrines and aims we shall not stop to pick them out, at present. The Sentinel has been occupied lately, for tho moat part, with blowing," but it strikes us that a little change of exercise would do it good. We suggest therefore that it try its hand at a plain and exact statement in few and simple words, without any wind or flourishes whatever, of tho points in tho republican platform of 135G, which (as it says) are now abandoned by the Republicans.

If it will do so we will feci much obliged, and promise to give its expositions a fair consideration. ELECTION' OF HANK OFFICERS. The several Banks held their annual meetings to-day, and elected officers as follows Mebciiants Bank. Henry P. Hickok, Sidney Barlow, Lemuel B.

As tho time of probation has now expired, while some few individuals have preferred servitude, the creat body of the free colored peoplo of Arkansas are on their way northward. We learn that the upward bound boats are crowded with them, and that Seymour, Indiana, on the line of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, affords a temporary home for others. A party of forty, mostly women and children, arrived in this city last evening by tho Ohio and Mississippi railroad. They were welcomed bv a committee of ten, appointed from the colored peoplo of tho city, by whom the refugees were escorted to the Dumas Houso, on McAllister fctreet, at which place a formal reception was held. They wero assured by the chairman of the Reception Committee, Peter II.

Boston Transcript. About Clocks. Mr.

Camp, President of the New Haven Clock Company, in a recent speech at a supper, said Clock-making was commenced about 1815, by Elias Terry, of Plymouth, who made wooden clocks, whittlingout the wheels with a knife. The running was regulated by a he ivy bag of sand and was wound up by a ball at the other end of the cord. Terry used to make two clocks, swing them across his horse, and ride off in search of a market. Very soon he introduced tho use of bras using old kettles, because bras-was scarce. When he undertook to make two hundred clocks, peopled laughed at him, they thinking it would bo impossible to sell them.

In 1823, Hon. Chauncey Jerome commenced tho business, and with progressive improvements the business now stands more perfected than in any other country. In 1829 a wooden clock cost $11 now a much better one can be bought for $1 50. The business transacted by C. Jerome is now dono by the New Haven Clock Company.

In 1857 the Company commenced to make casings. Then it was thought wonderful that it turned out 75,000 clocks. In the year just ended the Company turned out 150,000 and 176,000 finished movement." ew Publications.

The Skt an Indicator or the Weather Tho colors of the Sky at particular times afford wonderfully good guidance. Not only does a rosy sunset presage fair weather, and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which speaks with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind; a pale yellow, wet. a neutral grey color constitutes a favorable sign in the evening, an unfavorable one in the morning. The clouds again are full of meaning in themselves.

If their forms are soft, undefined and feathery, the weather will be fine; if the edges aro hard, sharp, definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind or rain; while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak hir weather.
