CHANGE IN TIE WEATHER.-The
mild clear weather OF the past few
weeks underwent a decided change
early Last night, the wind coming out
FROM the northwest and blowing
fierce and cold. OvercOsts and wraps
had to be brought into requisition and
fires we're again kiodlsd. The wind
was especially severe on the river ana
most sailing craft sought anchorage 10
creeks and coves. The Norfolk steamer
Washington arrived an hour late,
having been delayed by the heavy
head wind. The gale struck her some
distance down the bay and retarded
her progress somewhat. The officers
report Hampton Roads full of vessels
which ran 10 for shelter 10 anticipation
of the high wind.

Forestry. The destruction Of

sources Of our streams has begotten
both drouths and floods, the former

The rainfall is not stored up in the
leaf mold of the great woods and held
to exude gradually as of yore. Thus
the sources of springs and rivulets are
destroyed And when the torrential
down pour of rains comes, the water
rushes unimpeded by woodland leaf
mold into the valleys and by erosion
carries away the very cream OF pro-
ductive soil. Every year. hundreds OF
thousands of acres of fertile land
are rendered unfruitful i'll the United

reafforestation of many of the denuded
