Meteorological Observations continued. 



Rain, by the pluviameter, between noon the 1st of October 

 and noon the 1st of November, 1-61 inch. Evaporation, during 

 the same period, 2-28 inches. 



On Sunday the 17th, at nine in the evening, the northern 

 lights were uncommonly vivid, and it was on the morning of 

 that day the magnetical variation was so great. During the 

 night of the 21st, a heavy fall of snow took place, accompanied 

 by a violent wind ; the leaves being on the trees caused such an 

 accumulation of weight, that for many miles round serious? 

 damage has been sustained.
