COMPARATIVE FEBRUARY WEATHER.

The average rainfall, says Sergeant Bar

of February, was but 2 SO inches. This past
month is 153 inches ahead of the average
rainfall for 50 years. The heaviest rainfall
for February in any one of tie past 50 years
was during that month IN 1854 and 1878, be-
ing 80 inches and S04 inches, respectively.
TIE smallest rainfall in any one February in
the past 81 years was in the year 1852, when
but - of an inch was precipitated. The
mean average temperature for 80 years fer
the month of February was about 90; the
past months mean average was about 4
colder than the mean average OF 80 yesrs.
The prevailing direction OF wind for Febru.
ary during the last seven years was from the
north; it being from the north in 1879, 1882,
1888 and 1884 /; from the southeast in 1880
and 1881. Some years, when the prevailing
winds are from the north, we have more rain
than when they arc from the southeast, but
there is nothing definite about it-for in
stance, in February, 1879. the prevailing

ruary, 1880, prevailing wind was southeast
and rainfall only 1.S3 inches in 1881, pre-

at s50O,000. He came from Maine about
forty years ago, speculated in real estate,
aud lived the life OF almost a recluse.
Nobody knew how rich he was, particu-
larly the tax-assessor. Eleven months be-
fore his death he married Miss Caroline
Dahle, a young woman eighteen years OF
OF age, and a resident Of New Orleans.
He made during the last few days OF his
illness short will, leaving to bis young
wife $4,000 and the house in which they
lived. With its contents. There was no
disposition OF the remainder Of the proper
ty. A day or two after the funeral search
OF the house disclosed the astounding
fact that $4,000 in cash was concealed in
his secretary behind some old books. and
that in other parts OF the house were pa
pers, mortgages, and bonds, whose value
WIN reach about si5O.000. In an old box
thirty premium bonds, TO the amount OF
$4,000, were found. Mr.. Sterry left one
brother and one half-brother In Maine,
and other relatives in Northern Ohio and
Chicago.
