THE SEASON IN NETWORK.

For some weeks the weather has been
chilly, dreary and unpleasant. Spring
advances with tsrdy pace, aud hres are
as much in use as in mid winter. We are
told the fields Of he busbandmen are back
ward and ubpromi.ing There cannot be
a Sioubt, but the cold weather is in great
degree owi'g to The large ice.bergs, now
Aoa ing in the seas along our coast. ii
will be recollected. that, in the years
1915 and 10 IS, the season was remarka'
bly backward and unfaynrable, owing to
the same cause. In some OF the Eastern
States, the climate Sas so severe as TO m
duce many of the inhabitants to emIgra,e
to the west and south, in search OF more
hospltable country .-lmmense bodies OF
ice have recently been discovered near
the banks of New ioundland, and unless
these masses snail float off the coast, an
unpropitious summer may be anticipated.

ASTONISHING ACCUMULATION.

In England, one pound OF crude IRON
costs half penny; it is converted into
steel, that steel is made into watch springs
every one OF which is sold for half gum
ca, and weighs only the tenth Of grain;
after deducting tor waste, there are in
pound weight 1000 grains-it therefore
affords steel for 70 900 watch springs; the
value of which, at hall guinea each, is
thirty FIVE thousand gUineas.

was no doubt the work OF an incendiaiy,
broke out IN stable in the rear OK the
dwelling of Samuel Sterret, Esq. in George
street, near the bridge, Tbs fire had
made considerable progress before it was
discovered. and there was considerable
wind. Five or six small dwelling houses
and stables. together with principal part
OF the iron foundry on the tails, were con-
sumed; but by the active exertions of the
various fire companies, the large and ele-
CANT buildings fronting on George street,
were sayed-some injury however, was
done to their back buildings. We cannot
close this paragraph without again MOTTO
ing the exertions OF our fire and hose com.
panies-they are intrepid and arm, and
instead OF being appalled, by dangers,
their only object is to overcome them.

ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.
We are indebted to Messrs. Stocktot /

their exertions on this and similar ocei

great willingness to 60 with them. Il
being known that another Of the forge

with Emmonheiser, no was asked for,
He was said TO be sick and unable to
como out, but when the party showed .
determination to enter the house, ha
came forward. They were both taken
to the house Of the manager. Will,
Emmonheiser was undergoing an exs.
minatIon by . magistrate, Moore VIZ
sent out of the room. During the time
that Mr.. Stokes was examining Moore
he saw that his vest was buttonsd up
rather closely-on pulling aside black
silk handkerchief, which appeared 10
be arranged with care to cover he
breast, be saw tho marks of blood On
Moore's skirt. On further exa minatisn
it was found he was wounded in the
breast with 6 OFT buckshot. Finding
thus detected, he Immediately
made full confession Of tho fact Of
robbing the mail, in which he was -.

to be severely shot in the hand by tho
blundsrbuss Of the mail guard-Moors
c confessed whore tho packages taken
from tho mail were hid. He went with
Messrs. Stokes and Rouse, and others,
to the place, where bag belonging to
the forge, was found under the leaves,
which contained about two bushels of
Pse ksges. Those Oh tho top were known
to be quarterly accounts Of post marks
on their way to tho general post office.
The packages appeared to DO marked
with blood.
At the spot where the robbery took
place. there was high bank On each
side of the road. The guard acted
with much courage and good conduct,
having discharged his blundsrbuss 1t
tho robbers when they first discovered
themselves, and afterwards snapped =

came upon him. 1t sppears it was the
last shot from the pistol which wound
