 REMARKS. 



The weather duriug the month has been exceedingly changeable 

 although the mean temperature was about normal, the first four days 

 were warm and pleasant, but on the 5th frost occurred, a trace of snow 

 fell and a thick coating of ice formed about the fountain on the col- 

 lege grounds. On the morning of the 6th the ground was frozen to 

 the depth of one-half inch, and the tender leaves of maple and chest- 

 nut trees were destroyed. A heavy frost occurred on the 10th and 

 tendei' plants were cut down, and fruit somewhat injured. The rain 

 fall was below normal and grass on uplands suffered from drought ; 

 but the rain whicli fell during the last few days of the month revived 

 vegetation, and the condition of early crops is much improved. Six 

 halos were observed, four were accompanied by precipitation within 

 twenty-four hours after the occurrence of the halo.
