were registered, showing an iceman on the pnvious week ,
in which the number was 1,404. In the tea corresponding '
weeks of the years 1845-54 the average Dasher was 1,203,
with which, after it is raised by • tenth part as an allowance

the slab year; but the season at which we ace now
arrived Is smeary the most fatal in the year, and as the
