Remarks. — The temperature of May 13-29 above the mean 

 of May for the last 29 years. June 2, 11-29 below. July 1, 

 18-29. August 1 5 10-29. The variations of temperature have 

 been unusually great; the thermometer frequently varying 

 fi-om 15 to 20 degrees in 10 or 12 hours. White fi-osts in 

 the nights of July 7th, 17th; August 9th, 10th, and 13th. 



An exact resemblance between July and August in the num- 

 ber of dry days and wet days, and in the quantity of rain ; a fact 

 which has not occurred for 29 years in two adjoining months. 



KEMARKABLE METEOR. 



May 23d, at 10 o'clock at night, a luminous meteor was 

 observed at Kiel in Denmark. It was seen almost at the 

 same time at Copenhagen, which is 60 miles from Kiel. This 

 will give some idea of its size and of its velocity, which was 

 apparently not very great. At Kiel it seemed to take a direc- 

 tion from S.E. to N.E. and to have an elevation of 30 degrees. 

 It was visible for 10 seconds. As it disappeai'ed, it threw out 

 a volume of sparks, and left a luminous track in the sky.
