GROtNn-HOG DAY,

To-day is the anniversary Of our most
venerable. and by no means the least
trustworthy weather prophet-the ground
hog alias woodchuck
All weather prophets are liable to err
and possibly there are some few blemishes
in the record Of the grounding; neverthe-
less, he continues 10 do business TO the
satisfaction Of believing thousands.
According 20 the belief of his clientele
he will to-day root his way 10 the sur
face Of the ground. and if he sees his
shadow, he will straightway retire to his
burrow; if he does not. he will conclude
that the winter is over and will give his
attention to such business as may claim
his consideration in view of the probability
of an early spring.
In case the skies to-day should be clear
we may therefore. conclude that there
will be six weeks more of wintry weather
1t matters little TO us whether the
grounding retreats TO his hole or stays
out. OF course, we wish him TO maintain
his reputation. as he is one Of the estab-
lished institutions" of Virginia; but
whether we look forward TO another such
broiling summer as we had last year. or
try to console ourselves with the eccen-
trlcites Of a winter such as this, we are
equally at loss.
