Mr.. EDITOR: Wherever | 60, the first thing I
N asked is my impression Of the winter. sHow
10 you bear our New England winter, sir !"-
Does not the weather effect your health ?" &C.,
re the inquiries of my friends. In answer,
vould say, bear the cold as well az ANYBODY,
nd like the American winter, it is full of new
nd amusing scenes to me. The skating, sleigh
ng, SHOWS, queer-looking caps, tippets, &C., are
III novelties to me.
Before coming to this country had read about
he western winter-of water frozen 80 hard
hat heavy teams easily pass over it, Of the

oils, flowers, &c, out of it to adorn their tables,

made flowers OF different shape and size, which,
y half an hour, became hard as rock.
As it was year before last May that came
o this country, l inquired Of my friends how

eat was so much in Inc that no such thing has |
ccurred yet. l dare say there will be some
hance this winter for me to understand freezing.
