The weather since yesterday has played
strange freaks. Light showers IN the
morning; bright, warm sunshine in the
afternoon: heavy clouds after dark strong
gusts of wind az 9 p n, driving dirt and
dust over everything and into eYeryOne'S
eyes; heavy and startling peals Of thun-
der soon after, followed by frightfuI
flashes Of vivid lightning, splitting clouds
suddenly in twain; drenching showers of
rain, driving everybody and every living
thing to shelter; then, after midnight,
changing from rain to sleet and
slow, by daylight covering the house
tops, awning posts, cotton bales, steam
boat chimneys, and everything ex-
posed to the northern blasts with
two inches Of hard, crusty snow,
while a cold, biting, marrow-freezing
wind cut around the corners, making
olks SILVER as they had not done before
during the winter; and the whole playing
havoc with early budding plants and fruit
trees. The atmOspherical changes during
the past twenty-fOur hours have surely
been remarkable and surprising.
