METEoRoloGicAL.-Last Saturday night and
Sunday morning, April 25 and %, the snow
fell in this place to the depth Of twelve inches
On Sunday it melted as fast as it fell but if all
had remained on the ground, the depth would
not have been less than eighteen inches. On
Monday it mostly disappeared, except in a
few favored localities, on the north side Of the
hills and on the tops Of the mountains The
churches were dreary with empty seats and
pews, on Sunday morning, but on Sunday
evening and Monday morning the snow-bound
Christians of the village found their way out
into their usual places Of resort. The mud has
received fresh impulse from the melting snow
and the only safe mode of street navigation is
by scows constructed for the purpose. The
