MARell 10, 1882.
lieniiniacences of the Weather
for the Last 70 Years.
ilEtteri for the Examiner, Sherbrooke, Quebec.
It la not uncommon to hear people
say when we have it change of the
weather, that we never Haw the like be-
ilere. Now, Mr. Editor, I wish to state
some facts, and most of them are with-
in my own remembrance.
October 9th, 1891, brought a great
snow storm, full twenty mohes before it
*Based snowing, and the weather was
era, cold.
The year 1807 was remarkable for
the great amount of snow and steady
sold weather, the last day of March one
ef the greatest snow storms accompani-
ed with very high wind occurred;
the roads were so bloeled that they
were impassable for Eiome days. On
the lst a May the snow in the woods
would average over four feet deep and
very cold weather.
In the year 1815 there was great
depth of snow. On the 8th of May the
snow fell eight inches, followed by cold
nights and pleasant days, and it is said
there wasthe greatest run of sap—
that is meple—on record at that time.
The year 1816 was perhaps the cold -
eat year on record in the Eastern
Townships, although the thermometer
was unknown here at that time, no one
eould tell how cold it was, yet- all our
Add people know that the winter was
polder than any before or since that
they have experienced. On the 8th of
•June, snow fell to the depth of five
inches and froze so hitrd that all the
leaves In the forests were killed, and
vegetation- apparently ruined. This
frost was followed by great drought,
and about the middle of August most of
jaw crops were killed by frosts, and it
fiteemed as if a famine as corning upon
;the land; all kinds of, produce com-
manded fabulous price. The people
had to go to Three Rivers to obtain
lour for their bread, alisteaus of about
100 miles, to keep thei families from
starvation.
On June lst, 1817, the ground froze
to the depth of one Mall, and was fol -
*wed by an inch or more of snow. Veg-
etation recovered, and ithe yield that
year was an average one.
The year 1819 was r markable for a
peculiar phenomenon ; it has been
styled the dark year oi account of the
great number of dark d ys. The dark-
est day was November th. It was so
dark that people had to light candles to
eat dinner, and also to their acoustom-
ed work about the hon e. During the
afternoon.stars were vi ible throughout
the breaks in the clo ds, and in the
evening the darkness w s such that it
seemed as though it co Id be felt, and
it might be truly said 1hat it was total
darkness. In the evening , of October
12th, of the same year, the aurora bo-
realis was so brilliant that fine print
could be read by the iiht of • it, and it
covered the whole heav ns.
1820—a very forwaid spring, great
growth of vegetation followed by a
bountiful harvest.
In the year 1821 ther were quite a
number of hail stor s which hurt
crops very much in ma y places.
On May 25th, 1821, t ere was a very
kard frost, but fine war ni weather after
recovered vegetatipn ancl little harm
was done only to fruit tees. .
The year 1828 will evor be iernember-
led as a remarkable yeller. Some ponds
and rivers were not clo ed. by ice during
the winter. The spri g and Bummer
commenced warm wit out any cold,
and vegetation had no check until it
was matured, but the weather was so
knmid that a great pa t of the wheat
_.
crop was spoiled •by rus ,
All our people, that Cre old enough,
will remember the remarkable display
of aurora borealis on the 25th January,
1837; the heavens were all lighted up
with all colors through the entire night,
sonaetimes a bright crimson, and then
yellow, brown and all colors imagin-
able.
I forgot to ro.ention the great snow
storm in September, 18 5 ; on the 28th
September it o rnrnenced to
snow and from 18 to 24 inches fell be-
fore it ceased snowing, nd much grain
was,not out and the 811 w beat it down
as close to the ground s though it had
been passed over with a stone drag, and
the snow broke down t e forest trees so
that in.many-places th woods did not
look niatural, and the destruction of
trees ie the forests wad seen for years
from tile effects of this atorrn.
In the year 1843 there was a light
hay crop, and in the pring of 1844
there Was a great scarcity of hay. The
. spring ;was very back ard and snow
deep. Ou 15th of March there was one
of our 'great winter s &ins of snow
and wind, which was very severe. On
April -6th now would average four feet
Jeep-; and a cold spring. This was the
year that erysipelas p vailed in this
Tr
section, and very many, especially wo-
men, paid the debt of nature, it being
very fatal with that clas of persons. _
The year 1848 was remarkable for
some warm winter weather ; on the -
nth of January I pl wed land end
planted apple seeds for a nursery, mid
from trees then raised, ow, from year
to year, I have quite a aupply of apples.
We had no sleighing hat winter to
speak of till February, and in fact there
was not araaonth that winter brat what
wagons were used tn-o-rp or less.
The winter of 1861 and - 62 was re-
markablel for the grea depth of snow.
In many Places fence were entirely
covered, nd buildin
s were broken
down. 0 20th March, the snow was
from five to six feet deep on an average,
and the weather cold. On the lst of
April the snow T.vas so deep that the
road in many places was as high as the
tops of the fences ; the ice was not out
of the ponds till the firErt of May. This
was one of the winter long to be re-
farembered on account cf the great depth
of snow.
The year 1864 was a very warm win-
ter; the thermometer was only 17 days
below mei); Jarmary 7th, the coldest
day, the thermometer was only31 below
zero. ,
In 1R67 there was a ereat amount of
8110w. perhaps as muc17 in many plaoes
as in 1843 aud '44, and 52 days the
thermometer was below zero. There
were 14 days in Febraery that the mer- 1
cury was below, and eight days that it
was from 20 to 34 below zero.
The coldest day that I have on re-
cord, was December 25th, 1872, when
it naarked 42 below zero, and would
have gone further had. the mercury not
frozen.
JanuerY and February of 1875 have
but few parallels for gold weather.
Thirty-one days the thermometer stood
from zero to 36 below zero, the coldest
day being February 7th; not only
were these months co d, but the roads
were almost without i. parallel for our
winters. The entil number of cold
days for 1875, when he mercury was
at zero and below were 52 days. The
resent winter commenced on the last
ay of October, that a, when we first
began to use sleighs, nd until the first
of January, .uninte pted sleighing.
Since that time -the eather has been
eo changeable from arm to cold, that
wagons end sleighs h ve been in requiT.,
intim. There have en_15 days that
the mercury has been below zero thus
far this winter. H. F. -

- From Listowel to St. Paul.
The following racy letter was written
to the Banner. by Mr. W. G. Hay, of
Listowel, who, in conpany with Mr.
Brisbin, left that clathen -about the
-middle of February for the greatNorth-
west :
Before leaving Listowel, we in
snred our lives with our - oblig-
ing townsman, Wm.i Hamilton, from
accident and deathl This we felt
to be of very great importance in the
interest of the town, but more so in the
interests of ourselves individually. -We
know we have a good, thing here, but
not so sure about th hereafter. Af-
ter reaching Stratfo d, our first move
was to secure a sleepi g berth to Chi-
cago, which cost $3, tut cost is of little
consequence, as I inte d to take it out
of the first man I buy a farm from.
Reached Sarnia in the morning, when
we had a good square mealwhich I
think friend Brisbin took advantage of.
Here the cars, are run on the ferry
boat, and we ard steao ed over to the
"land of the free," antwe are soon re-
minded it is not very free after all.
Our trunke are hustled out on the
platform, when a fellow in official
cloth commands yen to “unlook,"
where we had to eXpose our scanty
wardrobe. The official looked diii
gusted with mine, as it consisted of
only half worn out shirts, and a pair of
drawers purchased frOm B. Brook. As
far as I could see,- t r1sbin's was cheap
jewelry, a box of paper collars, and
buffalo overcoat, borrewed from friend
Bolton. The Customs Officer said we
were the only honest men that had
come from Listowel, said it was evident
to him that we did net intend defraud-
ing the United States Government.
About nine o'clook our berths are being
made up by an obliging darkey, and we
,
retire to rest feeling t at we can sleep
the sleep of the' jut. Battle Creek,
3 o'clock in the rnorning. . I have
turned out, feeling t impossible to
sleep in the same berth with BriSbin,
on account of his big feet, and you know
the size ot mine. qhicago reached ;
here Sunday morning I at 8 o'clock, and
put up at the Clifton House. Had a
thought of stopping l at the Palmer
House, but I found naY money getting a
little scarce, so we toOk the other just
opposite. We looked l around to find
; how it would be beat to spend the
Sabbath, as you knewwe are very de-
vout. We leoked up he Tribune, and
discovered, that Profe sor Swing was to
preach in the Music Hall, at eleven
o'clock. Before goingto church we
went to the office of the _Chicago and
St. Paul Railway, to, secure sleeping
berths to St. Paul, for; to enjoy apiritual
affairs yon must lock after temporal
cot:aorta as well. We Went to the
Music Hall at 11 o'clock, and found it
packed with a congregation of not
fewer than 14,000 piaople. The first
thing that attracts yohr notice is the
very large number of oung men in the
congregation, showing what an immense
influence a man like wing has on the
young men of the cit . The Profesaor
is a small man, very slow of speech,
and, to all appears, ce, very modest.
His voice can beeard distinctly
through this large C0131 rogation, and he
appears babe a man lof great earnest-
ness, and as he warm up on his sub-
ject, he sweeps awayall dogmas and
creeds, and exalts Chhist as the hope of
the world. You are 113d to admire the
man in his liberal View of his fellow
man. During the dervery of the ser-
mon, which was a,bo t half an hour,
-you could have be rd a pin fall,
and every one app ared so inter-
ested. His prayer was a model
which might be, well i is itated by clergy-
men in general—ti ere two minntes.
The singing was the grandest we ever
heard—at least Brisbin says so, though
be is not much of a j idge. When the
congregation rose to 8 ng the last hymn,
"I love to Tell the St ry;" I felt I was
in the third. Heaven, a place I never
expected to reach, a d that song was
worth coming 500 mil:s to hear. Two
o'clock the Beene i changed; old
proverb holds goo ; "Changes are
lightsome and fools ar fond of them ;"—
I mean Brisbin. Dropped in at the
Olympic theatre,_ an oh what a mot-
ley crew of saints and sinners! Yelling
end whooping at the performance of a
lot of mountebanks! Sabbath very
little respected here; ell kinds of busi-
ness going on as usual. Street cars
especially seem to I e crowded with
sight -seers. I met . J. Lizars, son of
our County Judge, w o kindly showed
us around the city, rad Our first visit
was to the waterwork . This is a sight
worth seeing, the lar est engines and
boilers we ever saw. Passed throng -la
the tunnel under th river, and was
pointed out the burnt district, which is
now built up with i simense stone fac-
tories, warehouses are; dwellings, which
seem almost impose ble to have been
accomplished in ten e ears, but there is
only one Chicago, an they can do great
things. It is now e'ening, and we re-
turn to our hotel ve y tired. Eleetric
lights at the "Pallier House," and
where we are, it ma es the street as
light as day. Such is the way we spent
our first Sabbath. I hope Brisbin has
been benefited; as f ir myself I was
pretty fair before. 1fine o'clock, Sab-
bath evening. we we -e on board the
cars for St. Paul, abo t retiring for rest
and hoping we were wiser and better
men, (especially myself,) as , we still
think there is room for imprlovement.
We are impressed w th the superiority
of the cars on lines w st of Chicago, as
compared with Ca adieu cars. • The
one we are now in is one of the finest
sleepers. Three o'clojck in the morning
I am awakened up b1, Brisbin singing,
with tears in his eye, "Oh why left I
my hame," &c. We were very much
disappointed with th appearance of the
country through whi h we were pass-
ing. The soil seer4s to be red sand,
covered by small ecru by trees. Farm
buildings small and houses far apart.
Eight o'clock on Mon lay morning, just
in view of the Mississippi River; beau-
tiful sight, are incline to sing, and re-
call the words of:the ldjsong :
"To the West, to the West, to the land of the
free
Where the naighty Mississippi rolls down to the
sea."
Also of Mrs. Heman's Grave of the
Household:
"One midst the forest of the West,
By a dark stream is laid, 1
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far in the cedar shade."
Lacrosse —9 o'clock—just had anoth-
er square meal, something new for me,
and crossed the Mississippi on the iron
bridge. Here what is knownas the
. Black River, falls into the Mississippi •
the scenery is grand. Along this route;
we saw where a train went through one
pf the bridges lately; the wreck still
lying there. We are now in the valley
of the Misoissippi, in the State of Min-
nesota, where the road is built as close
to the bank of the river as possible.
On the other side, immediately above
us, are towering cliffs of rook and. sand,
hundreds of feet high. What a oontrast
-with last winter. No snow, weather
warm, sun shining brightly, cattle and
horses grazing in the field as we pass.
The scenery reminds me very much of
my native land, with its rugged broken
surface. I am dictating to Brisbin,
who is acting as private secretary for
me, and he refuses at this juncture to
do any more writing until he gets hie
dinner. Dinner at Red Wing. At this
point we crossed the Mississippi River,
on a large iron bridge, Nearing St.
Paul, the country assumes a more
pleasant aspect, and appears a much
finer farming country. We noticed
some aces° factories but had. not time
to ascertain whether they watered their
Milk or not. We arrived in St. Paul at
three o'clock, and have gone to the oity
and find it a prosperous and. busy place.
Immense blocks of new buildings are
being put up six and seven storeys high.
One great mistake has been made in lay-
ing It out, the streets ate very narrow
and badly kept. Here I thought ,of
buying myself a buffalo overcoat, as no
person in Listowel would lend me one.
Two iron bridges span the river. Wei
have secured berths on sleeping cars
and leave here to.night at eight o'clock, -
for Winnipeg, which we expect to reach
to -morrow night at the same hour. As
80011 as published, send special mes-
senger over with paper, as I am anxious
to see myself in print. I will give you
my impressions as we go ,along to the
land flowing with milk and honey.
We hope to strike some town where
they may want a defeat d, Councillor
j
or a Deputy -Reeve; if so,II will write
you at onoe. '
—Forty-five carpenters left Kingston
on We4nesday last week for British
Columbia. They were joined. by four
from Oswego, five .at Toronto, and 12
at Stratford.
—Mrs. Caswell, whose husband, a
street car driver, was recently killed on
King street, Toronto, has preferred a
claim of $5,000 against the city.
—Itis Said that the Utah Northern
Railroad runs parallel to the Northern
Pacific from Bedford to Helena, Mon-
tanaterritory, the distance between the
two roads averaging about. two hundred
yards. -
—Angus McLeod, of Brampton, the
other day jumped from a moving train
on the Credit Valley at Toronto. Two
bones of his right leg were fractured,
and it is likely he will be crippled for
life.
—Last Monday night the establish-
ment of Mr. W. R. Farley, of Aylmer,
one of the largest in the town, was
broken into by a gang of thieves, and
$1,800 worth of silks, gloves, plumes,
etc., were carried off. In their haste to
get away$200 worth of silks were left in
the back yard.
—A family swept off in Big Cotton-
wood snow slide in Utah has been re-
covered under forty tons of snow, not
frozen, but lying naturally in bed, the
husband, wife and infant in one bed,
two boys and two girls, the eldest 11
years old in another, smothered instant,
ly in their sleep.
—The census bureau reports 120,000
Morn:mush' Utah, 49,000 of whom are
over 21 -years old, and 40,000 lees than
9 years old. There are a little over 14,-
000 gentiles, and there are 7,000 apos-
tate Mormons, 800 Josephites and 1,700
doubtful. Thirty-seven thousand of the
Mormons are of foreign birth.
—Immense damage to property, and
in some cases loss of life, have been
caused by floods in the South, aloeg
the Mississippi. At Memphis cattle
are wading around with only their
heads above water. In many houses
people are sleeping on the roofs. There
are not many houses whose first floor is
habitable. Below Vicksburg hundreds
of families are without means of living.
Colored families and cattle are floating
about on fiat boats. Below Glendale
many plantations have lost heavily on
the cotton and personal property. Noth-
ing in the memory of citizens equals
the present distress.
—A man named Wm. Picton, work-
ing oat at Hugh Sutherland's house,
near Winnipeg, had his feet and hands
badly frozen on Monday night of last
week, while journeying between the
city and Mr. Sutherland's place. He
was very Inadequately dressed, having
only on his feet a. single -pair of socks
and a thin pair of boots, while, we
understand, his hands were uncovered
and his hat was utterly 'unsuitable for
His injuries are likely to
prove serious. • Picton is an English-
man, and, like a good mealy other
Engliehmen, had a sturdy contempt for
the peculiar weakness that induced the
Marnatoban to attire himself in proper
raiment to meet the requirements of a
Manitoba winter. That is where he
,made a mistake, and while his suffer -
Mee entitle him to the deepest
e lost upon others of similar opin -
Chilblaiias. '
