The WEATHER. week has
marked radical departure from the
creme weather of 4 late autumn. A
healthy snowfall began Tuesday and
continued until several inche. were
upou the ground. The Baltimore
Sun notes in this an almost perfect tul-
tiIment OF Vennors prophecy for this

i: one of sufficient interest to quote
further. Venuors predictions for
December are as follows Generally
colder weather up to abou! Sd. Very
little snow in nortl ern sections,
where the weather will have been
cold and dry. Between 10th and 18th
a change t. colder and stormy Wealth
er, with sDowlails and drifts probably
ia @ C,nada and western sections oil
the United States and mari ime pro-
viuces. Possibly a cold dip about
the 18th and l6ta in the Northwest

10Th low temperature will probably
c,utlnue in most sections, the cold
extending far to the West and South
Mi,der weather between Goth and
25th. A rainy Christmas in many
sections. aud he rlv everywhere mild.
Moderate weather is likely to con-
tinue during the remainder Of the
month, bringing in mud New Year.
This December is likely to be some
what remarkable, and perhaps ex.
ceptional.
Colonel Walter Hawkes., the en-.
inent meteorologist, predicts an in
tensely cold winter. He prophesies
several weeks continuous sleighing in
this latitude, and says that the Poto.
mac River viii be frozen as solid a.
the Keuebec. The cold weather, &C
cordlng to Colonel Hawkes. calculs-
tlons, will set in about the middle of
January, and is likely to last siz
