Tie Senaon in E,rahc

Seems to have been as mauspioiors, in
the early part oft. as 1t was win US. Snow
fell throughout the greatest part of Swabia
ON the 8ih of June. and It Rome they had
icicles in April. Both were considered a
phenomenon. The spots in the sun were
as conspicuous there as here but seem to
have produced different effects. Here
they were termed the father of drought /;
there the mother Of rains. In Switzerland,
the Netherlands, and adj AGENT country, the
rains Of June and July produced the most
serious calamities. The water in the Rhine
rose more than eighteen feet-other rivers
proportionably. and overfnwed the low
country, and in some places broke down e. c
dikes. Mary farmers were obliged to stall
their cattle, and go with boats to the mea-
dows. or CUT down the green corn, to pro-
cure them f:rlCe.
