for blowing. During the last FIVE days of the
month there fell 4.65 inches. We had q little
lightning and thunder on the 2lst, on the Both

The first three days Of he month, days of very
low temperature with high North west wind,
were the subsiding undula ions of an arctic
wave that had prevailed through the last five
days of February. Virgins ventured on anoth-
er storm which was to strike us from beyond
the ocean, but 1t must have been lost at sea, as
we have yet no word of it.
On the 9Th we had a snow of an inch, the only

observe the warmest March, that of 1871, was
also the one of greatest rain fall, and that the
coolest, that of 1885, the March of least rain

we would always see wet winter month warm

over all conditions. G. g. &.
