1870, inclusive, 40 degrees. In this period the
coolest November was that of 1873, with mean

The last 10 days OF November, 1880, were very
cold; with the very low temperature OF III de-

had inches of snow and sleighing. Teams are
said to have crossed the Susquehanna on the ice
days warmer than any day in October, and No
vember's mean temperature is but degrees
lower than that of October last past, We see in
this the possibility of mild winter.

counts are hardly all in yet, bear witness to the
extent and violence Of this disturbance. The tip
OF its wing only touched US. Are we always to
enjoy this immunity, or will the course of years
bring us our proportion of elemental violence?

fore her death, when she complained of not feel
ing well, but would not allow her husband TO
be sent for, thinking her attack was of trifliug
nature, and would soon pass off. Early Friday
morning, however, her condition became so se-
rious that DR.. Lee and her daughter were sent
for. Both were with her as soon as pos slble
after they were summoned but ali human aid
was unavailing. She grew rapidly worse and
passed away shortly before noon-just as twas
thought she was sinking into a sweet sleep.
Her husband, who had gone to Rockville, Md. ;,
Friday morning, with other directors, on busi-
ress connected with the Hartford National Bank,
was telegraphed for, but did not reach home
until the evening. The funeral took place from

SO genial and cheerful-the sunshine of her
home-shoud be borne TO her last resting
