For few days last week we were
blessed with delightful weather; the
fields and forests were clothed in a
mantle of green as if by magic and
all nature seemed to rejoice at the
good time which had come. This
(Monday) morning, however, isasPec-
linen Of the month of March, which by
some "cantrap fixing" has been jos
tied out of its place and left behind.
Poor Flora, already pale as her own
primroses and shivering with cold,
we very much fear will get badly
frozen if this kind of weather contin-
ues.
