silent and almost sullen way in which
the men ate their meals was seemingly

For a month md more Mr.. LANCE

presence Of shad ut this season a sure
presage OF moderate weather: and his
tory backs him up.
Without resort to the records, LA
vINAs d. Hill, another resident Of the
Hudson valley, recalls that about
thirty years ago shad were caught in
the autumn, aud the following winter
was SO warm that navigation on the
Hudson was at no time interrupted.
Mr.. Hills memory Is not at fault as
to the open Hudson !; navigation opened
In the river on March 10, 1880, and
was not closed until December 3, 1890

1924, and for how many years before
