OF the Oldest Dhabtant in this latitude, that they
have witnessed weather in mid winter cores pond

The Rochester Evening Post OF the 9Th says:
"The changes OF weather since noon yeste rday,
have been very remarkable. Last evening about 8

accompanied by severe wind, which .sas followed
by light snow, and change Of temperature since
then has given this morning more Of wintry as

storm of last night, it 10 generally remarked, was
one Of the most violent ever experienced in this
region" .as.a4.
