SO, while the winter of 1879-SO will be
warm and wet, with few cold snaps, of
limited duration; but it will be colder

changeable, peculiar, and rather disa-
greeable winter. ~. ..',... ~t<|' r.
AS the summer Of 1879 will be very
good crop year, people should use the
greatest energy to provide for the year
Of famine, as the summer of 1880 will
be very unpropitious. It will be a hard
year for all grades of mankind in this
part Of the country, and to some extent
it will extend to other countries. [
have not yet worked out the details, but
have gone far enough to See that it's gen.
eral nature will be bad.
From April |, 1879, to near October,
1879, will be about as favorable season
as could be expected Or wished for, in
the Northwestern States. At times too
much rain will fall in localities of linn
tied extent, sometimes embracing only
a few counties, and at others whole
State, Or parts of several States, while
at other times it will be too dry in local
tiles of said extent; but, on the "gen-
eral average" it will be quite favorable
for ell the Northwestern States.
