meteorological.
January was an unusually cold month, and also
very dry. The mean temperature for Al years is
l7.s9io; this year ll.4Sl0 being 6.4630 colder
than the mean, and the coolest on record with two
exceptions 1875, when it was l036lo, and 1874,
7OSOo.
My thermometers are, according to instructions
of the Smithsonian Institute and the U. S. Signal
Service, suspended in box made of blinds, and
attached to q stone house. Believing that the vi
cinity of the stone prevented sudden rise or tall
of the mercury placed thermometer, which
after long test conceded with the others, upon
tree ten feet from the house. BY this outside
Thermometer the mean of the month is 9.37lo
more than two degrees colder, and is colder than
any other on record except 1874. The stone pre-
vents any sudden rise or fall of temperature, but
after some hours of the same temperature, the
thermometers agree. The amount Of moisture,
rain and melted snow is l'6S6 inches, scarcely
more than half the usual quantity, the mean be-
ing 3.2S9 inches. The amount Of snow that fell
in December was 43 inches; in January % Ia a
total of 65 l-3 inches The depth of snow on the
ground at the close of the month was 20 inches.

PORTLAND, February 8. In the Presumpscot

Thursday morning that the lake had risen three
tourths Of an inch in three days in one place and
fallen one-quarter of an inch in another place.
The gates have been opened at the head of the
lake, letting in water from Long Pond above,
which is twelve miles long and two miles wide,
also Brandy Pond three miles long, which con-
tains considerable water on four and half feet
higher level than Sebago. 1t is understood that a
saw mill on another tributary of the lake has
started up, which accounts for the rise mentioned
above. Judge Virgin ordered that measure
ments be continued, to report next Saturday.

Vienna'and Belgrade correspondents point to

The Servian cabinet says that they are DESTROYS

negotiations to proceed in Belgrade so as to avoid
loss of time.
Reports have reached Belgrade of great mill
tary activity along the shores of the Black Sea
fand banks of the Pruth.
1t is said that the Russians have placed pontoons
