RS The weather for the last two days
has been extremely disagreeable, rem
dering good fires and thick clothing,
with overeoats, a prime necessity.
The rain that set in about 6 O clock
on Thursday evening, continued with
more or less severity until yesterday
morning, the latter portion of the rain
being mingled with few particles of
snow.
We hope there will yet be pleasant
weather and fine days, with warm and
copious rains, before old King Boreas
