ABOUT SNows.-An exchange says:
" There is an impression abroad that /
we are to have u snowy Winter. The !,
signs" handed down through many
generations, all point that way, it is
said. Who has not heard, for example,
that the day of the month on which
the first snow falls indicates with un-
erriDg accuracy the number of snow
storms we shall have during the Win
ter? Well, the first snow this year fell
ON the 26th, and we are to have
twenty-siX SnOW-Sturms unless the
weather clerk has got his figures mud
died. Then, again, it is an equally
trustworthy sign that if the first show
turns into rain all the subsequent
storms of the Winter will do the same
thing, and there will be little or no
| sleighing; but if the first storm ends
without rain, all its followers will do
the same, and the merry tinklc of bells
| will abound throughout the season.
There is every reason, therefore, why
we should all look forward tu "a jolly
! period for the next few months. That
| is, all of us except the few irritable per-
SONS who consider snow under any cir
Cumstances an intolerablc nuisance"
