SEVERE WINTER.

The French engineer Chevaller pre-
diets that the approaching winter viii be
unusually severe. In letter published
in Paris paper Of toe 10Th Of October,
he thus remarks: Whether we adopt
the period Of the iunary nodes, 1t about
nineteen years, whether we admit that
the memorable winters correspond with
one another in different ases, conforming
to a period OF an hundred or An hundrcd
and one years, they all presage a rigorous
winter: in effect, il regard is had to the
period Of 10 years. it will correspond with
the winter of 1898, and five go back to
the period Of -lOl years, it will CORES
pond with the winters Of 1915 and lyl6."

Sure this is the beauty Of farming.
We've corn and we've wheat,

Nor cease to remember the poor.
Let the idle complain,
And rambe in vain,
An Eden to 6nd in the West;
They're grossly deceiy'd,
Their hearts sorely griev'd,
They'll sigh to return to the East.
We're fond Of the toll
OF tilling the soil,

Itquickens the blood,
Gives rest to our TODD,

place with dreadful mortality. Every
person that couid leave the city mad done
so; yet, Notwithstanding, the averaged
cases of mortality were from TO 10 each
day. Nine out of ten, that are the sui
iects of this dreadful malady, never rcco-
yer; they die in three or iour days after
taken. TO speak within the bounds Of
TRUTH" says the letter Of the latest dale,
. there cannot have died less than 253
or 275 during the last six weeks Nat

puialion-o oil 1900 souls.
