It is a very curious fad, established by accurate
observation, that the annual quantity of. Rain has
been diminishing for the last five halArears ; and
what may appear strange, the approximation of lid
Wind to the South has been proportionably
Creasing.

the month of January last was about 59 ithrtu the
average heat of the season, and the succeeding
months it was rather above the average, till near
the middle of May, when suddenly; on the r3th, the
thermometer fell t t*, and continued down at 4ta
nearly a week; and on the .t 7th, at six in the

There is at Rome a complete Grammar ,of
Sanscrit Language, by, Father PAoANo, of St'
