1t was showing, sleeting and raining all through
the month of March, 1S49. On the 22nd of
March, 1874, snow fell to the depth of one inch.
April 18th, lS49, snow fell from one to two in

came snow storm at night drifting into hous-
es and barns, and playing havoc generally. 1t
is quito remarkable about the three storms on
the 22nd of March, that being the date of our
recent snow. The correspondent suggests the
probability of the full moon and the vernal
equinox, occurring about that date, as solu-
ton of the curious coincidence.
