SYNOPSIS OF THE WEATHER. 



Marblehead, November 6, 1863. 



Statement of B. P. Ware for 1864. 



The result of the third year's crop grown upon the land to 

 which your attention has been called for the two preceding 

 years, is as follows : 



The grass was cut June twenty-fifth, and each lot weighed 

 -June twenty-seventh, after being well cured.

. 455 " « 



. 475 " " 



. 290 " "

 small, although I suppose the relative product of the several lots 

 was not materially changed thereby.
