On the 3d, at 5 p. m., the barometer was at 29.26, the low- 

 est I liave observed during four years. The hygrometer was 

 uniLSually high for rain. On the 4th the wind went round to 

 N. W., and the barometer rose, but between the 4th and 5th 

 (night) snow fell. On the 5th the barometer felt it, but rose 

 a little during the day, although there were heavy showers. — 

 N. B. Whenever the barometer rises during rain here, which 

 it often does, the weather almost invariably soon mends and 

 continues fair. A sudden fall, such as that of the 3d, seldom 

 indicates so much or such continued bad weather as a gradu- 

 ally day by day lowering of the mercury. In rising it is the 

 reverse. On the whole a cold month.
