Ed. Registrars in many other Sec
tions of the country, the weather here,
during the first three weeks of this
month. was surprisingly mild. No
less surprising was the freshet of the
Sd instant. 1t was unprecedented in
this locaIity-at least within our recol-
lection-for early January. Though
it turned colder just after the freshet,
the weather soon moderated again and
we had no real wiatry weather until
the path; since then we have bad by
far the coolest snap of this winter.
Now, however, it is slightly warmer
and the snow will doubtless be all
gone at the close of the month. Not
withstanding the fact that the mild
weather was quite favoro5i6 for out
door employments, comparatively lit
tie work was done hereabouts during
the past month. While few persons
utilized the fine weather by clearing
ground, making rails or needed repairs
TO buildings and fences. the majority
did little more than getting wood. fee6-
ing and attending to other chores, and
