j N° te i Befit. 20, 1819.—As Jupiter and 
< Saturn, the two largest pianets, will be 
i nearly conjunctive iu the same quarter oi 
?the heavens witn the sun aa winter, (al¬ 
though Mars who was in meir neighbour¬ 
hood ali last winter, will not join them 
until late in this,) we may calculate, ac¬ 
cording to the above ru le, on a mild ensu¬ 
ing winter ; and that the seasons for a year 
to come will be very similar to tnose for 
a year preceding, but approach rather 
more to the usual average temperature 
>f each season respectively.
