Rain fell on 101 days during the year to the amount of 74.72 

 inches, of which we had 65 inches or -^ths of the whole in 72 days of 

 June, July, August and September, and the remaining 9§ inches only 

 throughout the rest of the year. To this peculiarity, combined with 

 the diminished fall of rain during the preceding year, which only 

 amounted to 63.34 inches, may probably be ascribed the excessive 

 temperature of the months of March and April in particular, and the 

 unhealthiness that prevailed at that period in consequence. The 

 following Table exhibits the peculiarity of wind and weather generally 

 throughout the year.
