The WEATHER. During the former
part of this week the cold was intense,
and little hope was to be entertained Of
the moderation Of the unusually severe
winter which has this year visited us.
On Wednesday, however, the sun rose
in unclouded splondor, the cold North
wind, which had been necessarily pour
ing its chilling blasts upon us, was lulled
into silence, and the temperature Of the
day was cmphatically southern. The
snow rapidly disappeared before the CON
quoring rays of the sun, as it has since
continued to do, and now after being en-
shroudcd with livery of snow for more
than six weeks, the earth, in places,
cheers the sight of mortals. We arc
tired Of this old fashioned winter, and
hope its course is well nigh run.
