The following particulars of two storms which occurred at Kangra in 

 1847, may not prove uninteresting. On the afternoon of the 24th Janu- 

 ary, the weather set in wet and continued so until the evening of the 

 29th. We had a smart fall of hail on the 27th, and a severe storm on 

 the 29th. The annexed are the variations of one of Fahrenheit's ther- 

 mometers observed during the storm. The thermometer was suspend- 

 ed three feet above the ground in an exposed position.
