THE lYINTER.


The Polar Snap which brought the
mercury down to a range of from zero
to 36 below, abated on Saturday last
and gave us 4 mild snap for several
days. This brought more snow, and
We have enough nov for all practical
purposes. Any mere will be simply su-
pertlnous. Enough is as good as
feast, and if Boreas pours out any more
of his blessings in this form, the coun-
try will not he able to dispose of it to
advantage.
The indications now are that we have
a blockade winter before us. II it be
true, as weatherwise and otherwise
men asserted at the time of the Au-
- tumnal equinox. that the prevailing
ppllee;slds y vbuld be from the south because
rotectloosir d was from the south when the
Sun crossed the line," then we are in
for masses vi snow and frequent block
AIDES. Our only hope now is that the
isothermxl line, which runs diagonally
across this county, (right up the diago-
nal road, may combine with the Janu-
ary thaw, and put up a ticket which
will beat the snow, This, however, is
aslender hope and we advise our read
ers to prepare for another winter dis
tinguished for heavy snow fall.
