 CT for March and April.

CT for March and April.
 To the Editor of the Montreal Witness
 SIR: With the last day of February I catch up my weather line again, and observe that the last week of that month has been, after all but little different from my forecast of it in fact, that instead of the consecutive three days 'Edip, anticipated for the 23d, ,24th and 25th, it came to us in a divided condition, namely, on the 24th (7o below zero) and on the 29th and following day And now for March, the old buster that comes in with bluster;" I am pleased to observe that he comes in this time natural-like, and does not attempt, he sometimes does, to conceal what s'old Winter" still has in store for us. He, however, certainly forgot that February rejoiced in % days this year. March, then, will or will not support my forecast of Sep tember last, wherein I stated f'but the outline presented to me just now depicts the heaviest snow falls as characterizing chiefly the latter half and end of the winter" Wit ness, September 1st, 1879.) So far this prediction is on the right side, as our city roads well testify to, but from this date snow falls ought to commence to score, not only at Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa, but as well around London and Toronto in Ontario, and through portions of the United States. Strange as 1t may appear to some, the closing day of Februsry and the entry of March gave me, first, indications respecting the weather of the first week of April, and next, for the 18th, 18th and 17th days of March and as these indications besides being the first are the foundation of the following forecast of March, shall first refer to them. April, then, I sketch as entering cold and stormy, with snow up to the 4th or 9th day, after which cold rains may continue to about the 10th, the 3d and 4th days being probably the most win try Next I foresee 8 cold term ending in a heavy snowfall on the 18th, 18th and 17th days of March; the 16th and 17th to be the days of snowfall. This storm period will in all probability reach both Boston and New York, but should cold rains replace snow in these last-named cities shall not be surprised. The third indication have brings in the 5th, 9th and 7th days of March for both cold weather and snow the 18th for snow again, and the 18th and 18th for cold. Snow-falls are also likely to occur on the 1st or 2d, Fist and 22d, and the 27th, one of these latter dates giving g general and heavy fall. Be- tween the dates thus given for cold and snow falls, the weather, of course, may be expected to be mild and spring like, consequently slush will abound. The stormiest part of March is almost certain to occur after the 18th of the month, and my American friends must ex- cuse me If again include moderate and reasonable portion of their territories in this last prediction. HENRY G. VENNoR.
 N B.-May ask newspapers editors who may reproduce the above letter to be careful in preserving the exact dates given?

The Trouble i'm San Francisco rEropo Disnatcb to Nau York Herald

Believing that Kearney has been fostered and encouraged by the publicity which the local press have heretofore been giving to this agitation, all the leading merchants have united and demanded that the incorporate folly of the press reports shall cease or they will withdraw their business patronage from these papers; but for the strife between news papers here seeking to capture Kearney and the workingmen he would have been in ob- scurity long ago. The papers have, l under stand agreed to leave him hereafter unre- ported, and in doing so the present agitation will soon cease, as it lives greatly on publici- ty, it's orators delighting to read of themselves and the reports of what they say.
 A WORTHLESS LEGISLATURE.
 The worst feature of this trouble IS the fact that the present Legislature has no backbone and is suspected of everything but honesty. If ia Republican in numbers, but unreliable in action. About the first thing done at the beginning of the session was to demolish the stGibbs gag Iaw,' which probably deserved that fate: but an ordinance making it penal offence to incite to riot, using incendiary lan- guaee &c, has also been repealed less than month ago, leaving the police now perfectly helpless to deal with the sandlotters.
 ONLY PEACE LACKING TO PROSPERITY.
 California never had better prospects for prosperity than now. Mining interests are fiattering; the agricultural foreshadowing very satisfactory. Nothing more is required than peace. Whatever the intentions of Kear- ney and his crowd may be, it is very certain that some issue will be forced before long. This state of things cannot long be endured. It is running everything. Come when that will. it is absolutely certain that the disturbers of the peace will be squelched effectually.

Mir. De Haas, ex-consul at Jerusalem, has set at rest 6 multitude of recent contradictory statements about the Holy Land in the fol- lowing series of pointed denials: "There is not railroad in all Palestine. There is not an American missionary in the Holy Land, nor a Sunday school. Bnt one Protestant church in Jerusalem, another outside of the walls and one at Nazareth. The Jewish pop ulation has increased during the last few years, but the population of the country has more rapidly decreased. The Jews have no inten- tion of reoceupying the land. They go there to die, not to live. No Jew around Jerusalem owns or cultivates an acre of ground. The Jews of Europe and America will never re- turn to Palestine unless forced back at the point of the bayonet. !"

Newspaper Advertising Bureau

Advertisers who want to reach the people Of a State must advertise in the best papers printed in tho leading towns
 There is 8 constant call upon us to make a selection for advertisers and to name favorable prices at which adver. Using may be secured.
 There is a wide difference between the prices demanded by newspapers for and enc which is to appear for 8 year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature of their advertisement, or because the adver- tIsement Is one which they wish to lry experimemsally before making cons tracts for any extended time.
 Bearing In mind the wants of adver- ttsers we have agreements with Iead- ing local papers in every State by which we insert advertisements for a single month &t prices apprOxImating the yearly rate.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly rates, that advertisers do mot understand how the advertising can be secured for the price which we name. For instance: in the State of Connects cut, a list of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers. which would cost $65.17 if contracted with singIy. we arc able to offer for S26.
