The winter consultations will still be in
their glory during the shortened nights Of
February. The principal astronomical events
of the month will be the conjunetions. The
Moon will be in conjunction with Venus on
the 14th and with Mercury On the 10th. On
the 10Th and 2lst Jupiter and Mars will be in
close proximity to the moon, and the celestial
spectacle will be even finer than the recent
galaxy of the moon and these two planets.
Mars and Jupiter are still the evening stars,
and Venus and Mercury and Uranus are
morning stars.
The roads this winter have been as hard as
adamant, and favorable for heavy hauling.
The farmers have largely availed themselves
of these favorable conditions, and heavy SIX
horse wagons, loaded with wheat, hay, straw,
railroad ties, iirewood, pork, fertilizers, stone,
lime, &C., have been passing and repassing
daily throughout the winter. A thaw must
soon come, however, and it is to be hoped
that when it does come, there will be no oe'
casion for these heavy teams upon the roads
to cut them into deep ruts, but that the heavy
winter hauling will all have been attended to-,
and the roads used as little as possible until
the frost is all out of them and they have be-
come dry and settled.
