We have had for a week past
the worst weather we have ever
witnessed in this latitude. The
unusual find heavy rains of the
month past have been followed by
snows and sleets and freezes of a
very unpleasant character. On

snow and fell to about an inch
depth. It was followed at night by
a very heavy sleet. The trees of.
the forest wqre, many of them,
bowed to the earth with their un
usual burden, others torn up by
the roots, some broken off midway,
and others shorn of many of their
