The fall OF snow in this vicinity on the
2ith ult.. was from one foot TO fifteen
inches and badly drifted. In March we
have had the coolest weather and the mos,
violent storms Of the winter. Not for
many years. have we had so rough a March
as this. But the deep covering now on the
earth. will probably be favorable for the
grass crop.
The railroads have been showed up.
some OF the lambermen have been showed
out Of the woods; many In some places
in public convey ances, and otherwise: cat
tie have been showed into their stables as
they have not been for the past two years.
There may be n compensation for haiti
now lost In forage, in the improvement, OF
the coming crop. There Is frequently In
the processes Of Nature, a compensatory
