We suppose it is spring, but appearances

considerable rain, and at four different
times the Ice has frozen on the limbs of
trees, so as to make a beautiful sight.
The last occurrence of this kind came last
Sunday, and lasted several days, and in
consequence many trees were broken
down, and the ground is strewn with
thousands of limbs. We believe this will
be very Injurious to the sugar season we
have hoped for, but hardly expected.

DUMMERSTON.

The frequent storms during the past
four weeks have prevented the holding of
several religious meetings. No Christian
Endeavor meeting bias been held for four
Sunday evenings in succession. Two or
three midweek prayer meetings have been
omitted on account of the storms. No
preaching service was held last Sunday on
account of the rain, as no one came out to
meeting. For the same reason, no sermon
was preached on Sunday, March 3, as only
few persons ventured out to church. The
stormy Sundays may be accounted for by
reason of the saturday moons," as the
moon has changed on Saturday during the
last four changes, The next change of the
moon will be on Monday and therefore it
will be pleasant next sunday and there
will be preaching in the morning and an
Endeavor meeting in the evening.
