The warm weather will not have to part
with its distinction by reason of day or
two OF freezing temperature, like this, now
aud then. That much, certainly, must
still be looked for, even though the sun is
rapidly climbing to position of vantage,
whence he can pour his direct rays with
increased power; yet the winter of 1856
per that will evidently entiile it, in the
long run, to be reckoned among the mild
winters of history. And there are more OF
these mild winters in history, as recorded
in an article in another column, than per-
sons who don't keep scrap books are apt to
remember. The swimming at New York
on Sunday, bees, citapillers, and other in
sects out of their winter quarters, flowers
shooting and sap welliug, must have had s
cold blanket laid on them by the ''refrger
rife wave" as the telegraph calls it. But
notwithstanding the cold set back, we neeC
not dispair of light winter yet, in view o.
the past fortnight's determined mildness.
