may be thought premature to make an; 
general remarks, but I could not help ob-

has been diminifhing for thefe laf five: 
half-years 5; and, what appeared to me 
ftrange, the approximation of the wind 
to the fouth has been proportionably in- 
creajing. 
There are a few particulars of the ther- 
mometer that ought to be noted :—the 
month of January was about 5° below the 
average heat of the feafon, and the fucceed-

and continued down at 41° nearly a week, 
and, on the 17th, at fix ia the evening, it 
ftood at 30°, the wind being at the fame 
time weft, and fo early after as the 27:h, 
at the fame time of day, it ftood at 75°, 
making a difference of 45° in five days:

diftrict nearly all the apples, cherries, and 
currants, | (
