THE WENTHKR.-April showers have been be:
slowed upon us most abundanny mp to Sunday
last, but upon that afternoon the slight falls OF
water which we supposed were to be distributed
throughout the month, were concentrated in one
grand deluge, and It CAME down upon us In o
style which We never remember to have seen
equaned. Slight limitations of this heavy rain
were given throughout tho night, and up to aeyen
o'clock on Monday morning, at which time the
Clouds as il perfectly satisfied with their efforts in
this section Of country, rapidly took themselves
of in northesstery direction, leaving plenty
Of sunlight and very large supply Of wind. In
fact, Monday was o gaia dey, and no one seemed
TO enjoy 1t more than old Boreas, who was ss
frolicksome as hb was in his youthful days. The
weather with as now is as bright, beautiful and
baImy az possible; and although there may be
prettier parts Of the world than We are living in,
and wealthier people than We are at present, we
will put the lovely days and nights that we are
now enjoying against all creation. .,-.
