"A venerable citizen of Cranberry
township says that on the thirty-frst
day of March, 1841, the snow was
fully three feet deep, and the ther.
moneter thirty-nine degrees below

snow to get a nurse. The Spring of
that year was early and warm for this
region, and the succeeding Summer
was excellent for fruit. So it will be
seen that we have had "weather as
was weather" before 1885. - Yenango
