FORECASTS.—A reac-
tionary storm period is central on
the 24th 25th and 126th--eeirrccident
with the centre of the Venus .per-

prolonged spell of hard, stormy
weather will.merge the storm per-
iods at this time, but storms will
be more pronounced and general
on the reactionary days -24th, 35th
and 26th. It is reasonably prob-
able that snow blockades will equ-
al of exceed anything of the kind
for the whole winter, during the
last half of March and notably on
the dates of regular and; reaction-
ary storm periods.' The 2.9th, 30th
and. 31st will bring decided °h'inge

perature and threatening elands,'.

a supply of Postage Stamps, suf-
ficient to meet the requirements
of the patrons, and to accept let-
ters for registration from box -

the increasing convenieepes of
Rural .life.

be supplied with blank . applica-
tions for Money Orders and Pos-
tal Notes to be used as occasion
arises. The patron will prepare the

ceipt therefor, and will purchase
