The FIRST SNOW The weather is always
seasonable, if some times rather hack
neyed topic. For weeks past there has been
general congratulation on the prevailing
mild temperature and many sunshny days
but the ponds and streams have been low
and wells drying up and rain was badly
needed. Last Saturday night we had one
of the hardest rains of the season, accom-
panied by very high wind. Sunday was
clear and pleasant with the wind south to
southwest, and in the afternoon it was al
most gale down the bay. Monday there was
a decidedly lower temperature and Tuesday
morning brought the first snow of the sea-
son, which melted as it fell and later turned
| to rain. 1t cleared at night but yesterday
morning a snow storm set in, continuing
through the day.

passage considering the very rough water
