Table of Frost.  From the Meteorological Record kept at
Middletown, Ct., By J. Barrat, M.D.

This table giaves [gives] for each year from 1831 to 1854, inclusive,
the Latest Spring Frosts; First Autumn Frost; First
severe Fall Frost; and First Snow.  By First Severe Fall
Frosts he says he means such as "kills tender plants and
flowers, and causes the forest leaves to fall."  I copy this
part of the record.
