Wind S. W.—Freezing Point 32 Deg.
A most decided and beneficial change has now taken
place. In the course of the night slight shovers fell from
time to time, the snow and ice on the river arc gradually
disappearing, and in all probability it will be quite open
in a few hours. At present we have bright sunshine, with
every appearance of genial spring weather.
