CLIMATE OF THE REGIO!^ 



At Schenectadj'^ and Canajoharie, vegetation advances more rapidly than the average 

 of the State, and at Johnstown and Fairfield less so. The difference between Canajoharie 

 and Fairfield, though but twenty miles distant, is about a fortnight, owing chiefiy to the 

 high elevation of the latter place. Utica seems to be not only situated near the geo- 

 graphical centre of the State, but to be a pretty fair representative of it in respect to 

 climate. Its mean temperature is but 1° lower tlian that of the State as a whole; and in 

 regard to the progress of vegetation, it agrees within a day.
