When the number representing any given year is even and exactly divis¬ ible by three, that year is the middle one of three cold and wet summers. When the number representing the year is odd and divisible by three, then that year is the middle of a triad of dry and hot summers. For example, 1860 is even and divisible by three by three, and the prevailing characteristic of the three years 1859, 1860, 1861 was wet, or wet and cold ; and again, 1863 is odd and divisible by three, and everybody remembers 1862, 1863 and 1864 as bright, hot and dry summers. Taking now a range of twenty seven years over which my own personal observations extend, and applying and cold the rules just given, the wet triads were 1853-’55, 1859-’61, 1865-’67, 1871-’73, and 1877-79, while thedry and hot triads 1856-58, 1862’64, 1868-71 and 1874-76; and without claiming that no single year broke loose from this very order of seasons, I fear¬ lessly maintain thatall the markedly wet or dry summers of the past twenty-seven years fall accurately within some wet or dry period ns given above ; so that no very wet year falls in what should have been a dry period, nor any very dry year in what hypothetically was a wet period. The number 1881 is odd and divis¬ ible by three, and, if there isany thing in my theory, that year ought to be the middle one in a triad of hot and dry summers. I am looking forward therefore, with much confidence to a good summer in 1880, foliowed by two similar good ones in 1881, and 1882, and for the sake of every interest in the country, I earnestly hope my ed. expectation may not be clisappoint Local Law.
