Has IT Cone To SrAY?- Summer

efforts. since the advent of the Spring
months. to stick. Bnt up To tue present
time, disappointment has followed fast
on the heels of sunshine. snow instead
of rain, frost instead of heat, clouds and
hyperborean winds instead of clear
skies and a genial atmosphere. We
must reside in a very peculiar isother-
NAL line to he subjected to such sudden
fluctuations of weather. Indeed, we be-
gin to dnnbt that White Pine ever hns
any real Spring. 1t has the usual 1ndi-
an Summer. reaching lar beyond Autumn:
but even That II SO mixed vi utter
mnEtnne temprsts that we hardly know
how tn classify 1t amonng the seasons.
Perhaps it would be nearer the mark 10
say TINT we have only two distinct sea-
sons here-Winter and Summer. The
general weather. like many persons
afflicted with u had temper. blows hot
and cold without intermediate gradual
changes. Like the mystery of nnr gen
Logical formations aud the inexnlicahle
arcnna of nnr vast mineral wealth. the
weather comes and goes. no one knows
whence nor whittier. Up to the present
writing, for instance. We have had seNe-
raj DAYS of pleasant atmosphere little
hnmid or threatening now aud then
bnt, on the whole. mild and enjoyable.
fSince commencing this sentence the
skies have become cloudy.) We btve
asked whether this time our Summer
season wonld stick? Everybody thinks
il will: but rash is the maj who sets
himself up here as weather wise. Old
Merriam himself, with all his climatic
pre- -cirnce, conld not make n snre re-
dietion here two hours In advance. For
this reason. we shall refuse To answer
onr own question until We knve seen
the Summer far enough ant of the woods
to have the odds on old Weathet himself.
IMPORTANT Mining CAsE.-A suit of
forcible entry and unlawful detainer was
commenced before Justice Atwood, yes
terday. to eject n party of men claiming
the ! erley and Niagara mines, on White
Pine Mountain. 1t seems that a year
ago last May the mines were located aud
recorded by n number of persons. IN.

The Fly PEsr.-The weather of the
past few days han brought myri"ds OF
flies-of all classifcations-out of their
Winter quarters. They now begin to
swarm in the bnnses. and are ranidly
propagating in filthy backwards. Clean
illness will help a great deal to keep their
number down. bnt the white Pine fly is
an insect which can not be altogether ex'
tirpated. The blue. bottled fly of this
altitude is n p%ertinacious and pestiferons
nuisance. II is the most irrepressihle
human-face teaser imaginable, and knows
