MR. G. T. F. S,VITH'S WEATHER PRE-
DICTIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

Ist or 2d we have showery indications, of a partial
I character. 3d to the Bth, high temperature and fine—
probably thunder. 9th to 13th or 17th, high tempera.
tare, and the average fine. Near the 13th and 18th,
showers. 18th to 21st or 25th, stormy, with declining
temperature, bright rays intervening. 26th to 30th
rainy 'weather and squally, with declining temperature.
It will remembered I stated the month of August,
'57, would prove one of the finest harvest months on
record; the result confirms my opinion. The intense
heat said to occur from the 3d of August to the Bth
generated electric excitement, which is generally the
consequence, and gave much power to the rainy testi-
monies stated to occur near the 9th of the month.
I would here remark that, in my opinion, the intense
heat of the present season is attributable to the approxi-
mation of a comet. There is also a conjunction of the
superior orbs, Jupiter and Herschell, which is one cause
of so much dry weather. They are near a separation
at this period, and again approach their conjunction
during spring of 1858, when a drought may be expected
to prevail. Conceiving these hints may be of some
utility, they are respectfully submitted to the public.
