Ssow on THE 2iTH APRIL.-Last Saturday
morning we were, on rising, somewhat aston
ished to find the ground white with snow which
had fallen during the night. During the day
it showed occasionally; and the atmosphere
was raw and chilly, and doubtless the growth
of vegetation will be retarded by it. We had
a remarkably mild winter; but this looks as if
we were to have an unfavorable spring. Very
appropriately might it lie remarked that
ssWinter lingering chills the lap of May.''
