" Last night at half.past o o'clock, heavy

ours, in Mexico bcf,re. 1t also excited TO a
high degree, the curiosity of the inhabitants
OF the capital. The thermometer of Reaum-

The flat roofs of the houses, the streets. the
hills which surround the city of the lakes,
and give her so beautiful and aspect, the
public walks, all reminds us this morning OF
the first snow storm we ever witnessed,
which was last fall, in the United States ano,
in Europe. Mexico city presented ,hi,
morning truly picturesque sight, for the
green leaves Of our eternal spring fo,mcd o
lively contrast with the tleaks Of SNOW, which
dressed them in an attire to which they
