Observations — We do not experience such low temperatures as in 

 two or three other places in the county of Berwick ; chiefly from 

 our position being a considerable distance from water, and at an 

 elevation of (say) 500 ft. But, on the other hand, we have a long 

 continuance of storms and fewer changes than are experienced in 

 lower lying districts. At Blackadder [see p. 309, note], about 150 ft. 

 above the sea, all the evergreens are killed, and many Oaks have 

 suffered severely.
