BARwIcK's REPORT. 49, The four past
months show that the present year is the
dryest that has ever occurred in this vi
cinitv since 1910. from which date records
have been kept. The year 1864 for the
first four months gave 800 inches, while
the four months of 1885 just past, gave but
3:45, which shows it to be so far the dryest
year ever known. 1t must not be mistaken
for this season, which includes a portion OF
last wear. but the first four months of 1885
must be considered and known to be the
drvest four months of any in this vicinity
