Santuc News Letter.

SANTUC, April 7.-Hail fell here
this afternoon (Monday) thick and
with force for several minutes-the
wind blowing about as hard as is
generally seen. For a while it
seemed it was going to be a storm
of good extent, bat 0.16 of an inch
of rain fell.

do not know. Fruit that does not
fail and fall off, is very likely to be
knotty and inferior.
On last Saturday, 9th inst, we
had regular cold wave. The tenn
pcrature fell 36 degrees in not over
six and half hours. At noon it
was IS degrees and at sunset, the
time the official readings" are
taken, it was 80 degrees The wind
suddenly shifted from the west to
north, and it was exceedingly un-
pleasant to one caught away from
the house, minus of the regular
winter cloth. We are certainly
having sudden changes, and with
wide ranges.
There were good many early
BIRDS around Santuc, which got off
the roosts soon, as it were, and went
out to catch the worm, but when
the frost came April and with
temperature of 80 and 2S degrees,
they probably thought there had ac
cidcntally been a snap, and the
worm had got the early bird"
The early bird" looked little
, puny, and when one cnquircd of
the ailmcnt perhaps they would

worm, in me little inside"
