The STORM ON SUNDAY MoRSING.-The
wind whistled with mid-winter .chilliness
early Sunday morning, and the cold rain,
rattling hail, and driving snow reminded
one Of the bitter weather OF a bleak January
morning. The weather had been very warm
on Saturday, but towards evening the wind
veered round to the east, and there were In
dications of q storm. About IL o'clock on
Saturday night it clouded up, and the wind
commenced blowing strong from the east.
By degrees the temperature fell. Before
daylight q cold northeast rain set in, fol-
lowed by severe haiI-storm., Later in the
morning, between 5 and O'Clock, it COM
menced showing, and it showed as hard and
as rapidly as we. usually see it in {: January
The mercury, which at midnight Satur-
day Law stood at e3o,.. continued ). to. fall
until 6 o'clock Sunday morning, when it
recorded 31o-one degree below freezing.
On Sunday the weather was alternately
cloudy and clear, with cold, high winds
during the early part Of the, day. In the
evening it was clear and quite cool. The
high wind had the effect OF Well-nigh strip
ping the trees Of the remaining leaves, and
literally strewed the sidewalks with them.
Now the trees present o bare appearance in-
deed. ~ "..s.ts
The weather yesterday was clear and
cool.
One of our friends furnishes us with the
following ominous memoranda:
October Is, 1S58.-Cold, raw, rainy. Con-
siderable snow last night. Temperature
this morning, 36o. .eas -,,.,r
This was a foretaste OF that memorable
