I UARCH AND APRIL WBATHERJ
The Vagaries of the Elements in These Two Months.
A gentleman of this city, says the Boston Trascript, who was only 11 years old in 1861, but who retains a vivid recollection of the stirring events both before and after the first inauguration of President Lincoln, writes us concerning the exceptional weather of March and April 1861. On referring to a newspaper file of that year, it appears that on the 3d day of March the thermometer was 74 deg. From that date until the 14th the weather was about the usual for March, perhaps milder, slightly, than usual. On the 14th there was a fall of snow to the depth of about four inches on the 16th of about five or six a day or two afterwards one or two inches, and on the 21st and 22d about eight incheB in the city, and in each case somewhat more in the country near Boston. There were about two weeks' sleighing.
On the 18th the mercury descended to 6 deg above (and zero in country places near Boston), a difference of 69 deg from the maximum, and rose only to 17 deg at noon—something probably not recorded before or since. During the last week in March the snow entirely disappeared, but on the night of April 1st a snowstorm began which continued all through the 2d and ended the morning of the 3d, leaving on the ground an average of a foot, making sleighing for two or three days. Fast day occurred that year on the 4th, on which day the writer, with
hiB
father and brother, en
joyed a sleigh ride in the city and suburbs of several hours' duration. The following list of. snowstorms in April and May is taken from Felt's "Annals of Salem:'! 1869, April 30—Snowstorms, 3 or 4 inches on the ground next morning. 1672, April 1—Great storm of snow, drifts 6 feet high. 1701, May 2—Many cattle lost by a rain and hailstorm of three days. 1761, May 5—Hard gale at northeast rain and snow. The latter melted as it fell. 1769, May 11—Snow fell for twelve hours. 1803. May 8—Snow fell seven hours. 1808, April—Snow deep in some plaoee. 1812, May 4—Snowstorm all day and night. 1832, April 17—A great storm, with rain. 1834, May 15—Snow this morning. 1841, April 13—Considerable snow last night and to-day.
In July, 1804, snow fell in Salem and its vicinity. Served Him Bight. v* "Is it true, Angelina," said a young lady addressing an acquaintance, "that there has been a rupture between you and Clarence De. Johnes?" "It is quite true." "Gracious! What was the cause?" "He was addicted to the use of slang." "Oh!" "Yes, I begged him to discontinue the habit, but he persisted in it."

THE NIW SCHOQL LAW.
The IJncillon of Exemption of Teachers From Examinations.
Teachers have been considerably puzzled as to the construction of the law pat
Bed by the recent legislature exempting teachers from examination upon certain conditions. The law seems to be susceptible of double construction. County Superintendent Curry has been assailed by questions by scores of teachers, within the last few days, because they understood the law to mean that a teacher having taught six years, consecutively, in the same county would be entitled to two years' lioenee and exmemption from examination so long as the teacher continued to teach in the same county. Mr. Curry has secured the opinion of the state superintendent concerning that part of the law. Section 44,125 of the revised Btatutee was so amended that teachers who have taught six years, consecutively, and who hold a three years' license, are exempt from examinations so long as they continue to teach the common branches, without interruption But if the teachers discontinue teaching the common branches, or teach in any other county for one year, or part of a year, the exemption clause is not applicable. As was the case with many other laws passed by the last legislature there was no emergency clause attached. Consequently the law is not now in effect, nor will it be in effect for some time. The effect of the law is to place a premium upon a teacher of experience, one who can command the highest grade of license, and to offer inducements for such teachers to remain in the same county.
At the examination held for graduation from the common schools, one week ago yesterday, the persons named below paseed the examination and are now alumni of tho Vigo county schools. The general average made by each applicant is given, also: Miss Fannie Johnson, Otter Creekj 85 Mr. W. D.

BASK BALL NOTES.

St, Louis Globe-Democrat: The BrownB'^tfC^,,f(Tv«!A¥emejiia. of the and Chamberlain—would lead many to believe that they have an understanding whereby they have agreed to stand firm until their demands for salary are complied with. If such an agreement exists it will possibly give the Browns' management no end of trouble. "Tug" Arundel, of last season's Washington team, and Mike Mansell, of the Hamilton base ball club, wound up a drunk at Auburn, N. Y., Friday, with a desperate bar-room fight, in which Arundel got the worst of it.- During the row the air was filled with beer glasses and cuspidors, and when the police stopped the fracas it was found that Arundel had received several bad gashes in the head. Arundel was arrested but Mansell fled.
Crawfordsville Review: McCauley, and Hoskins, the two pitchers of our team last year, have signed with the Peoria club. Charley Snyder, who captained the Hoosiers last summer, is married and settled down in Kewanah, 111. Sweeney, who was one of the most popular members of our club, is at Milwaukee, and will play there this season. ames, the mute pitcher, who played here a short time last season, will be with the Oswego, N. Y., club this year. Kid Fisher, who played short-stop here last summer, was in the city, Tuesday, en route for Peoria, where he will play this season. A writer in Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer speaks of Fowler, the colored second baseman who played here last year. He Bays Fowler is one of the best base ball players in the country, but cannot secure a good position on account of his color, and that the players are always trying to hurt him. Fowler will play in California this summer.

B. G. Hudnut, president of the street railway association, said the other evening that nothing definite had yet been decided upon regarding the employment of the electric system in operating lines in this city. He is of the opinion that the storage battery system is the coming one. It is superior to all others, but the expense is much greater. When the cost is reduced it is expected to replace all other systems. Nothing ie expected to be done soon. The company is awaiting developments.—[Mail.
