On the eth day Of November lsst(one, by the way,
ing 70 ne remembered,) we experienced the first
and opening storm Of sbe season. Since that we
have experienced Dooght but Succession Of the
ssverest storms known here for many years. The
winter thus far has been of unusual severity In
this region Sto.k generally is in suffering con-
ahiop and insee it can almost be said the same Of
enethrd OF the settlers Many are encouraged, and
Vsrpose migrating if ever spring opens. For my
ewn part / cannot, even on an acquaint nee OF
nearly three winters readily agree to fors he this
susht land. Last winter was also one of mn Usual
severity. The winter previous was pleasant and
nna.
