nuary last year there was but one small t1irt OF
snow; whereas in January, this year, there were
four severe snow-StormS the aggregate depth
of which was sixteen inches in town; and to-
wards the mountains, the depth OF snow which
fell at one time was fourteen inches. The win

The navigation of the Potomac has been OBJ

as in the corresponding month of last year,
there was only thin drifting ice, for short pc

myself included, into declarduOn tnat winter
was no morei Observers of the weather have
sometimes been correct in the foregoing conclu-

this time; for, from the 21st to nearly the end Of
this month, stern Winter has rode, with terrific
majesty, on every breeze or gale, from whate-
