typical of the king q the forest.
Snow blpster, wind. ete.s, was the.
order OF the day and while the tlier-
mometer failed to show that the
weather was as severe us that of last.
week, yet on account of the preva-
lence of high winds from the North
many were convinced that the wealth
er was the coldest of the season.
As the first half of the Iadage was
- faithfully carried out Sunday. we
may look for balmy weather, to close
