A Correction Corrected.

Professor Proctor publishes correction
of the statement made in the HERALD, in
it's editorial of the 18th inst, relative to
Professor Piazzi Smyth's remarkable pre-
diction Of the abnormal cold in Europe in
the winter of 1878-79 He gives at some
length his recollection of what Professor
Smyth predicted. but gives no quotation
from Professor Smyth's own published
words. The HIRALD, on the contrary.
quoted from Professor Smyth's own original
publication of his prediction, which Pro-
fessor Proctor will find in the English
scientific journal, Nature for February a.
1872, page 317, second column, to which we
respectfully refer the English astronomer.
We are not in the habit of making such
important statements upon our recollection
Of events. but only from the original records
themselves. The entire passage Of the
Astronomer Royals article in Nature (now
before us), from which we quoted the
last clause, reads:--s.Depending therefore
chiefly on our later observed eleven-year
periods, or from 1864 to 1888, and
from the latter up to 1068.8 we may
perhaps be justified in concluding that
the minimum temperature of the present
cold wave was reached in 1871.1, and that
the next similar cold wave will occur
in 1873. 8"-that is. in October, 1873. Pro-
fessor Smyth's article was dated February,
1872" and he then spoke Of the cold wave
whose minimum had been reached in 1871.1
as still ''present," SO that it had been over
year making it's passage. The natural
import of his prediction evidently is that
the next cold wave would make itself felt
in the fall of 1873 and prolong its depress-
ing influence, as its predecessor had done,
into the following year.
AS to Professor Proctor's scepticism con-
cerning the supposed connection between
terrestrial weather and the sun-spot period
we have no controversy with him. The
HERALD does not advocate that theory. But
the English astronomer may pardon us if
we remind him that some of the most emil
nent meteorologists of his own and other
countries radically differ with him. One
of these, in the annual Science Record for
1873, concludes that ''the solar spots and
temperatures change in parallel cycles and
affect every feature in terrestrial meteor
ology."

THE WEAruER.-The disturbance that was
moving over the lower lake regions, as stated
in yesterdays HERALD, is now passing into the
ocean off the Nova Scotia coast. The barom-
eter has risen throughout all the districts, cx-
cept in the extreme Southwest, where IT fell
slightly owing to the northward movement of
the zone of high pressure. There are two ccrl-
tres of high barometer now United States
territory--onc OH the South Atlantic coast and
the other in the Northwest. The disturbance
while moving over the New England States
yesterday morning was attended by heavy
snow showers, and during the latter
portion of the day snow fell through
out the lower lake regions. Fair weather
generally prevailed in the other sections
of the country. The temperature fell in
all the districts east of the Rocky Mountains,
except over the Western Gulf States, where
the prevailing southerly winds caused de-
cided rise to take place. The winds have been
from brisk to fresh on the Atlantic coast north
Of Sandy Hook and in the lower lake regions
and light elsewhere. The northern movement
of the zone of high barometer indicates the or.
ganization of disturbance over Southern
Mexico, and il is likely that one will make its
appearance in the Western Gulf within the next
few days. The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be colder and partly cloudy,
possibly with occasional snow hurries in the
morning, followed by clearing. Tomorrow it
will be cold and clear.

There has been . dispute going on for
some time between the owners OF the
Rochester mine and those Of the Non.
such, both situated on the northwest
side Of Prospect mountain. The owners
Of the latter claim asserted that those Of
the former were working upon the ledge
properly belonging to them. and the
value OF which wa demonstrated last
Winter. The Rochester boys are work.
ing under . lease from the owners and
had taken out some six or eight
tons OF ore, which the owners
Of the Nonsuch declared be-
loneed TO them, but would rslin.
quish all claim upon II II the others
would allow them 70 60 down into the
mine and see whence the ore had been
extracted. Permission way refused, Of
course, and the Nonsuoh boys went upon
the dump Of the other claim to sack up
and take away the ore that the others
had taken out. This led TO Q regular
rough and tumble fight between the six
men, who were interested in the two
properties. No n can tell what this
might have led to bad not Jake Main,
