THE WEATHER.-As was predicted in yester
days HERALD the barometer fell very rapidly
throughout the Middle Atlantic districts and q
storm centre of considerable energy was deve[
opcd in the lower lake region. Toward evening
the gradients became very steep ON the western
margin Of the disturbance and very severe gales
commenced to blow from the north and west.
The centre of lowest barometer is now moving
into the ocean off the New England coast. at
tended by snow and increasing winds. The
pressure is very high in the central valley dis
tricts and the Northwest 1t is also high but
fallen in all the districts north of Tennessee
and Virginia, and rains reported ON the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts. A general rise in
temperature has taken place in the Middle At
lantic and New England districts and in some
sections of the Gulf States. Elsewhere the fall
has been very decided. The winds have been
from brisk to high in the lake regions and
the Northeast. In the other sections they
have been fresh. 1t is very probable that
the winds will continue strong over the
coast districts until Sunday, and the tcnpcra-
turc will be unusually low. According to
ths special dispatches published in another
column the storm was severcst in tho northern
part of this State and over the lower lakes. In
many cases the heavy snow drifts caused
by the high winds impedcd travel on the
railroads. Numerous trains were showed in
and had to be abandoned. The fall in tenn
pcraturc at st. Louis during u few hours
reached the remarkable figure Of 40 degrees.
In Pennsylvania cattle were frozen to
death, aud trains OH some of tho rail-
ways were stopped by the deep snow. Peo-
pic who were congratulating themselves during
the past month tho very mild winter they
were enjoying, and indulging in the fond delu-
sion that the climate WINS changing, with a semi
tropical tendency, will now have to admit that
there is but little difference between the ancient
and modern winters in the United States. A
very severe tornado is reported to have struck
Santa Barbara, Lower California. There is
evidently centre of disturbance in the Pacific
ocean of the Mexican coast, which is likely TO
travel in q enthusiastically direction. The
weather in New York and its vicinity today will

II is not often that the Southern people will
speak a. precatngly OF Northern enterprise. They
treat Northern people cOurteonsy, even cordial y,
