MARCH WEATHER.



March is equinoctial month as about the
DIST and 23d the earth will reach the point
in its orbit whore the sun will shine straight
down upon the equator and from pole to
pole. and when the southern hemisphere
will begin toswapits pestilential summer for
our life-giving winter. All the elements
of our globe will feel and respond to the in
huences of the vast and violent exchange.
Hence our terrestrial, epuinoctial storms
and other commissions But those who cal
culate that winter will wholly disappear,
and that summer will take its place
with the coming of March, will pay
heavy penalty. All the regular storm per
iods for the month, this year, are liable in
their development and progress TO present
many of both winter and summer. Warm,
heavily electrified currents from the equa-
torial regions will pour their positive vol
umes into the face of cold, negative streams
from the polar regions. There will result rs
consequence, first, high temperatures,
with very heavy and sometimes cyclonic
storms with rain and thunder and light
ming, followed by sleet and snow and cold
waves.
As a rule. the greatest electrical excite
ment resulting from the earth's March
equinox, is from the 10th to the 10Th; and
finding the centre of a regular storm period
on the 18th, we may surely look for storms
and other phenomena from the 10th to the
10Th If warm southerly winds prevail
about the 18th, 18th, 18th and 18th, storms
of great violence are TO be apprehended.
The 18th to 10Th is an active, reactionaly
probability.
The third and last regular period for the
month runs from the 23d to the 18th, count
ing about the 22nd, 9th and goth as the
days of greatest violence and danger, At
this time, especially, great care should be
trken along all coasts, and on the high seas.
The Both and 3lst are reactonary days, and
will be aggravated by the presence of the
moon between the earth and sun.

THE CITY ELECTION.
GRATIFYING VICTORY FOR THE RE-
PUBLICAN CITY TICKET.
W. a. Crombie Elected Mayor by d21 Ma
jority-The Republicans Secure Three
Out of Five Aldermen and Elect the
Three school Commissioners.

The election Tuesday resulted in the
choice of republican mayor, by one of the
largest majorities ever given here, when
there was any contest over the Office; of
republican city Judge without opposition; Of
republican aldermen in the First, Second
and Fourth wards; of democratic aldermen
in the Third and Fifth wards; and of three
republican school commissioners, in the Sec
ond, Fourth and Fifth wards. The election
of COL Crombie by majority larger by 3H
votes than the majority for Gen. Henry last
year, is fine tribute to his worth as
a citizen and popularity as a man
He must have received, as was expected, a
number of democratic votes He carried
every ward but the "Bloody Third, and
we congratulate our citizens of all parties
on his election. He will make u good
mayor.
The majority for Mr.. Chambers for alder
man in the First ward was unexpectedly
large, the democrats making little effort,
and casting only 30 votes in ALL The re-
suit would not have been different, if they
had done their best; for this once close pre-
cinct has b. come a reliable republican ward
In the Second ward the harmony and good
feeling was almost oppressive. The only di-
vision was on mayor; Judge Peck received
the full vote of both parties and Mr.. Trick
and Mr.. Whitney for alderman and school
commissioner, fell only about 90 votes be-
hind the total.
The Third ward did well on mayor, but
pretty badly on alderman, Roberts being
elected over Parker by 1876 majority.
In the Fourth, Alderman Brown received
the full vote of both parties, and Nh PIERCE
is elected school commissioner by 81 ma
jority.
In the Fifth ward, the facts that Crombie
had % more votes than Woodhouse and that
Hayes had 81 more votes than Haselton, in
dicates trading, or at least suspicious
crossing of party lines No one supposes
that Col Crombie was in any responsible for
any republican detection on the alderman
and the explanation must be sought in other
causes
Mr.. Woodhouse did not seek the nomina-
ton, and would undoubtedly prefer to
be out of the Board of Aldermen rather
than in it, But it is to be regretted that
the city cannot have the benefit of his ser
vices; and as Mr.. Hayes is not likely to do
any special credit to himself or to the city,
in the place, some who contributed to the
result will perhaps see the time, sooner or
later, when they would be glad to recall Their
action.
On the whole the republicans did well, and
Burlington remains a republican city.
The result of the election is shown in de
tail below:
