General Remarks on the Weather, &c. 
ebserved at Curlisle, during the year 
* 43809. 
FANUARY was marked by a suc- 
J cession of the most severe and de- 
structive weather we ever witnessed; 
the former part of the month was ex- 
ceedingly stormy, with heavy fails of 
snow, rain, and sleet: from the 1Sth till 
the 27th, we had a most intensely severe 
frost, accompanied with a strong pene- 
trating east wind; on the 23d, 24th, and 
235th, an excessive quantity of snow fell, 
the average depth of the whole abeut 
twenty inches: a nuld thaw, with heavy 
rain, and.commeuced on the 27th; melt- 
ed the snow suddenly, which swelled the 
rivers here beyond their bounds to sucha 
degree, that immense damage was done, 
and much private property destroyed. 
February —The mean temperature of 
this month (41°) is in this clinete un- 
wsuially bieh for the season. This high 
degree of temperature was attended 
with very stormy weathers and during the 
former part of-the month, rain fell tu 
such torrents, as to cause the rivers to 
overfiow their banks and adjoining low 
grounds, fer the space of four or five 
davs. : 
March was remarkably dry, and, with 
scine trifling exceptions, temperate and

pleasant. Towards the end of the month, 
we had some showers of snow and sleet, 
at which time snow was observed on the 
surrounding mountains. ; 
April—The weather during this 
month was extremely severe and unsea- 
sonable; the average temperature of 
several days, was nearly as low as the 
freezing point. We had some very heavy 
falls of snow, and the mountains were 
clothed in white daring the whole of the 
month. | Ft will be observed, on inspect- 
inz the table, that the average tempe- 
rature of this month is lower than that 
of the preceding, and nearly the same as~ 
February. Notwithstanding the extrema 
coldness of the season, some straggling 
hirundines were seen in this district, as 
early as the 12th of this month; but they 
were not numerous till about three weeks 
after this period, ‘fig 1 
May was very cold and gloomy, with 
showers of bail, till the 7th; it afterwards 
was dry, bright, and pleasant, tll the 
14th. In the afternoon of that day,

curred, which was attended with a mes 
Jancholy accident: a youbg man driving.
