THE WINTER.—Some singular facts are
connected with the winter which is passing over our
heads. As little of severe weather has been felt in this
country as under more northern skies. The merry note
of the 'Rik was beard in Denmark in the beginning of last
month; nor has there been any cold of moment in the
north of Russia. At St. Petersburgb the thermometer
never stood so low as 183- but for a single day, and the
whole season has hitherto proved unusually mild. The
centre of Europe has experienced but little cold weather,
and still less snow ; even in Prussia scarcely a flake has
been seen. The south exhibits a singular contrast : and
the midland of Asia seems to have been the rallying point
of cold. Turkey in Europe, too, has been afflicted with
its worst extremities; at Odessa it has prevailed without
intermission ; and the Ottoman Monitor tells us that its
severity in Turkey in Asia has been such as to have
greatly contributed to the suspension of military opera-
tions. In Persia, and the southern provinces of the
Russian empire, it is said to have been altogether unpre-
cedented in its iirulence. Such a thing as winter is
known by name only in Tiflis an l Erivan, where the roses
bloom in the month of J tnuary ; but this year the cold
has been intenser than is ever telt in the north of Europe.

SINGULAR CEREMONY.—Sunday last being
Palm Sunday the usual annual ceremony was performed in
the church at Caistor, that is, of a person from Broughton,
near Brigg, bringing a very large whip, which is called a
yad whip, the stock of which is made of wood tapering
towards the top, having a large thong of white leather,
and being wrapped towards the top with the same. He
comes towards the north porch about the conclusion of the
first lesson, and cracks the whip as loud as possible for
three times, the thong reaching within the porch ; after
which be wraps the thong round the stock, having four
twigs of mountain ash placed within the same ; he then
ties the whole together with whipcord, and suspends a
leathern bag to the top of the stock with two shillings in
it (originally twenty-four silver pennies); he then takes
the whole on his shoulder, marches into the church, and
stands till the commencement of the second lesson ; he
next goes to the reading desk, and, kneeling down upon a
cushion, holds the purse suspended over the clergyman's
head till the end of the lesson. He then retires into the
